Albus nodded a smile crossing his face as Severus explained the plan. "Oh, yes. This will do nicely," muttered the headmaster and Severus pulled back. "Goodbye, Albus." The potions master left the room and Albus began to write a letter.
Pomona waved goodbye to Rolanda and walked towards her rooms. As soon as she entered, an owl was tapping away at the window. She opened it and took the letter out of the bird's claw. After giving it a small treat, the witch opened the letter.
Dear Ms. Sprout,
A staff dinner is being held tomorrow at seven sharp. Attendance is necessary.
Sincerely,
Albus Dumbledore
She raised an eyebrow. Well this is new.
In another part of the castle Filius received a smiliar letter. Well this is new.
At seven o'clock Pomona and Filius were walking together towards the Great Hall. They entered and Pomona gasped. It was gorgeous! The lights were dimmed, the enchanted ceiling full of stars, and the walls and tablecloth were a velvety red.
Files smiled, but then asked, "Where is everyone?" Pomona shrugged and walked to the doors. She tried to pull them open, but they didn't even budge. After five minutes of tugging, unlocking spells, and charms the pair sat down in defeat.
"Oh well we might as well make the most of it," said the Hebology teacher. They sat down across from each other and ordered food, which magically appeared on the plates.
Hidden under an invisibility spell, Minerva, Severus, Poppy, Albus and Rolanda were watching closely. There was polite chit-chat between the two, until Pomona mentioned something that made the charms professor choke with laughter.
From then the two would laugh, joke, and flirt regularly. It didn't get much further. Dessert was served and not much was going on. Mimerva pulled out her wand and flicked it gently.
Pomona's head lurched forward and her lips landed on Filius'. Pomona jerked back and was about to apologize when Filius kissed her. Smirking, the group of troublemakers snuck out, unlocking the door as they went.
