A/N: Hopefully things are starting to come to fruition. Thank to you Olive who has been helping with this tale. It is my first fanfic so please be patient. Working on a few more chapters that should be ready in the next few days. Enjoy!

PS: I don't own anything other than the character of Rose Evans.

Chapter 5: The Fight

They arrived at the entrance of Rose's rooms in silence.

"Here you are Aunt Rose," Harry sighed quietly.

"Harry, just call me Rose. The whole Aunt business is for old dunderheads like Petunia and Vernon!" She laughed. Her eyes softened and she gave Harry a long hug. "I'm so glad that I've finally had the chance to meet you. I don't know what the future holds right now but I will do everything in my power to be close. If it means me moving to Hogsmeade and working for Rosmerta, I will. I don't want you to be stuck living with Petunia any longer than you've had to endure!" She hugged him one last time and sent him off to his common room.

"Severus Snape you are coming with me!" She said darkly.

They entered her rooms. Snape had barely entered her living area when she wheeled around and begun her tirade.

"How dare you talk to me like that Severus Snape?!" She spat.

"How dare you pretend to die and come back only when it's convenient for you?" He growled back. His face was beet red and his fingers were itching to hex the witch in front of him.

"Don't you dare try to hex me you git! I know you better than you think Severus!" She warned dangerously. "I didn't make the decision to "die" Severus! James and Lily did. All was decided for me. I couldn't do anything other than comply. I would have been killed had I not and Lily wanted to make sure she could keep us safe. Maybe if you hadn't pushed me away I wouldn't've had to go into hiding!"

"Don't you go blaming me for your exile, witch!" He snarled.

"Why shouldn't I? You pushed me away. You're the one who promised to write and keep in contact and you never bothered to. You were the one to promise that everything would be the same and you forgot everything about me. You were too busy chasing Lily to notice anything!" She cried in anger. She was visibly shaking now, tears threatened to fall from her fiery green pools.

"DON'T YOU DARE BRING LILY INTO THIS!" He roared trembling in anger.

"She's my sister Severus. I can bring her up if I want to. I am not the one who betrayed everyone and joined with You-Know-Who. I am not the one who turned my back on my friends in order to get fame and glory! I am not the one who called his BEST FRIEND a Mudblood!"

His eyes widened, his face paled and his fingers balled into fists. he could do nothing but mumble incoherent words. He turned on his heel and fled her rooms. He couldn't get out of there fast enough.

Rose stared at his retreating back, her shoulders slumped in exhaustion and she fell to her knees.

"This wasn't how it was supposed to go." She whispered sadly before hiding her face in her hands and sobbing uncontrollably.
