The tension in the slytherin common room, at the early hours of the morning was palpible. All three boys, stare at each other, not giving anything away. After a moment, Mattheo goes back into the dorms, leaving Theo and Draco stood there in silence. Both making sure Mattheo has gone too bed. Draco shoots a glare at Theo. "You was with her, weren't you?"Draco asks, watching for Theo's reaction. Theo smiles smugly in response. "Yes, I was with Seraphina, helping with a project." He responds, going on to his bed. Leaving Draco in the darkly lit common room, with his own thoughts.
The morning after, Seraphina wakes up early. She places her cape on, and walks the halls of the school. The ghosts chatter and fly about amongst themselves. I think ahead to my classes today. I do not look forward to my DADA lesson, and decide that I would skip it. Just as I think this, I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn around, with a smile on my face. The smile quickly drops. "Harry what are you doing here?" I ask, seeing my reflection in his round frames. "Did I startle you?" Harry asks. I shake my head, "No, not at all, why are you up at this hour?" I ask, changing the subject. He has a mischevious smile on him. Harry thinks for a moment, "I'm just sneaking around" He stays coy. I look confused, but continue to walk off, towards the teachers chambers, making sure I am not followed. I check over my shoulder, every couple of steps, and corridor changes. A feeling of unease comes over me, but everytime I look, I see nothing.
I get to the correct dark oak door, and I knock on it, then I speak under my breath in parseltongue, to unlock it, going inside, shutting the solid door behind me, whispering loud enough. "Dad are you here?" I ask, when I look over the bookshelf. I pick a potions book up, and begin to read it. A few minutes pass, my nose too into the advanced book. "Ah, she is truly my daughter" Severus steps out of the shadows, proudly watching me read the book. I smile, "Can I borrow this book" I ask, while closing the book. Severus Snape nods, while I put the book away. He couldn't resists using occlumency, to attempt reading my mind. I block it well. "I'm here, because I wanted to make sure you wasn't doing something silly" The worry breaks my voice. Seraphina looks directly at him, "I miss mum too, but we can't go after them, it's dangerous!" "I'm sorry, I scared you, Seraphina" Severus Snape holds her in a comforting father daughter embrace. After a few seconds, I use occlumency on his mind, to ensure he isn't lying. A slight smile, raises the side of his lips. "Meet me later in the headmasters office" I nod, listening to the demand. Before slowly breaking the embrace, taking the book back to my dormitory room, blissfully unaware.
Stood in the corridor, hidden under a invisibility cloak. A bit of disbeleif as to what he has witnessed. Draco Malfoy stands there with his mouth wide open shocked. He's unsure what to do with what he just witnessed. He witnessed Seraphina, sneaking around the teachers chambers, and walking into and then leaving the potion master's chambers, in the early hours of the morning. Unsure as to whether he'll tell Theo or Mattheo, Draco rushes back towards the Slytherin common room, his cloak falling off of him, as he runs. Mattheo is sat in the corner of the room, by the underwater window. Just as Draco falls through the door, with a bang on the stone floor. Mattheo gets up, "whoa, Draco" He calms him down. "What happened" his curious nature gets the best of him.
"I saw her..." He opens up, singing like a bird. Mattheo eyes lit up. "You saw Seraphina?" He clarifies. Draco nods, "Over in the teacher's chambers corridor"... Why was she there? Mattheo thinks to herself. "I saw her go into one of the doors, late at night" He finishes. Mattheo has this smile on his face. "Who did she go in?, and why?" He tries to gain more information. Draco looks up, "Our potion's professor" There's a silence that fills the room. Mattheo breaks the silence, "Draco let's rest" And they all go back to rest till the morning. What a miscommunication, about to take place. As the morning approaches, Theo was getting ready to go to breakfast, just as Mattheo appears in his dorm doorway with a smirk. Theo rolls his eyes, "What do you want?" He bluntly asks. "I heard through the grapevine, that Seraphina has been busy" Mattheo tells Thee, hoping to break his spirit. "I see how you look at her, don't fall for a gryffindor" Mattheo warns. Theo smirks, as he walks off, not entertaining Mattheo.
In the great hall, during the morning breakfast period. The tables are adorned with a varity of all breakfast foods. All the students come in to eat, Seraphina is already sat at the gryffindor table, eating her breakfast. Theo walks in, he walks over to his table, while looking at Seraphina, smiling when their glances notice each other. He sits down and beginds to eat himself. Ginny sits beside Seraphina, giggling. "I beleive you have a boy crushing over you" She notices Theo looking at her. Seraphina smiles big, before leaning into Ginny and whispers in her ear, "It's a very new thing" Ginny gasps, shocked! "Another secret to keep for now" I ask her, smiling. She nods, as we continue to eat breakfast. "Can you cover for me later, in our class?" I ask, Ginny nods, as I get up and walk over towards the Slytherin's table. After a moment, Seraphina approaches Theo at the slytherin table. "Theo, can you meet me during DADA class" She whispers in his ear. Theo nods, as he watches her walk away. What Mattheo told him, sits in the back of his mind, but it doesn't bother him. Because Theo knows the truth.
