Intertwined - R.J Lupin

Sunsets and Serenity

It was now reaching the end of the school year. The weather was blissful as the summer sun started to engulf the Castle and decorate it with a warm glow.

Exams for all students had just finished as they were all celebrating and planning on spending their now free time, enjoying it with their friends, and getting drunk.

April and Remus had seen very little of each other. Their relationship was difficult as she was constantly revising, in the library or totally engrossed when she was in class. He too, had been very busy with grading the seventh year NEWT exams as quick as he could or with teaching them. Although, he loved his job he was definitely looking forward to having time off when the summer arrived.

The couple would exchange polite greetings when they would pass each other in the hallways and friendly smiles when they were in his lessons.

Although they were both desperate to see each other, they simply had no time in their schedules at the minute. April, was also very grateful that Remus knew how important this was for her. After all she was needing all Outstandings to become an Auror. He gave her space to allow her to make sure she was fully satisfied with her knowledge before entering all of her exams. He knew the longing distance between them would instantly be over as soon as she was finished with her exams.

"Well?-"
"-How did it go?" Asked the two twins who were waiting outside of the Great Hall for their friends to leave after they last and final exams - Potions.

"Brilliant actually, I feel really confident with that test" Beamed April as she interlocked her arm with her blonde best friend.

"Only the daughter of the Potion's Master would say that" Liv grumbled. "It wasn't bad to be honest, as long as I've passed I don't give a shit" she said with a large smile which instantly made the others laugh.

Both girls had actually been satisfied with how every exam had went. They were pretty confident in their knowledge and already knew that they would have passed them all.

Which was a relief for Olivia, due to the lack of revision she actually did...

"Can't you just get all Outstandings automatically of your teachers?" George asked the brunette.

"Yeah, seeing as your the daughter of one and shagging another, clearly you can just get them to-"

"-Don't even finish that sentence Fred" April exclaimed with a pointed look.

"Even if I wanted them to, which I definitely don't... I want to earn those grades. And do you really think my dad would do that? That man has never even given me any House points for god sake. I doubt he'll give me an automatic pass" she explained.

"You are absolutely right Miss Snape" the exact man drawled out in a bored tone.

"Jesus Christ, make yourself known before creeping up on people like that" Olivia growled, slightly jumping at the sudden voice.

The twins instantly bowed their heads, trying to avoid and repercussions of her actions. However, the Professor gave her a deadly, disapproving glare before turning his attention back to his daughter.

"I'm assuming the exam went well?" He asked

"You wouldn't expect anything less from your best student" April grinned as she noticed his lips turn up slightly.

It was no secret that she was the smartest witch in her year. Every exam she always aced and for that Snape was always so proud of her for. One thing he wanted from her in life, was to try in school and achieve good grades that would potentially get her anywhere she wished. Only now was he seeing that it was actually paying off.
