          Patricia Prince was tired of sending letters and trying her best to get Severus to come to the Prince mansion she had heard that Celestia had left and she just couldn't let this opportunity pass. It had been well over a month. She finally decided to go to Spinner's End a place she hated, a place where her daughter lived with that muggle, a place her daughter died.

She walked along the pavements towards the house, the neighbourhood did add to the eccentricity. Not a single person on the road, just a car or two passing by. She saw someone peek through the curtains of the neighbouring house she gulped audibly and walked to the main door of the Snape residence. She raised her hand and knocked. Severus opened the door, "What are you doing here?"

Patricia rolled her eyes, "Is this the way you greet your grandmother?" Severus apologized and welcomed her inside. She hesitantly walked inside.

"Why are you here?" Severus asked as he moved to the study and collected the letters on the desk dropping them one by one into the bin.

"No wonder you didn't reply to any of my letters, you were busy tossing them in the bin." She sat on the chair pointing towards the bin. "Anyway that is not why I am here, Severus how long are you going to wait for her?"

Severus looked up, "As long as I can, I have to meet her. I have to apologize."

"It's over two months now. She is not coming. She hasn't sent a letter or anything for all we know she could be dead!"

Severus slammed the remaining letters on the desk, "Enough, Mrs. Prince." Patricia raised her eyebrow.

"Severus, think about it. Serena loves you and you will...learn to love her soon why don't you two get married? Also I took a vow to make her my daughter in law. And Celestia knows this, even if she returns she will not marry you. She said this herself." Severus looked up and took a deep breath.

"Alright fine." Patricia smiled.

"Brilliant, I will do the needful." She walked out of the house smirking all the way.

Liko and Xiu waited patiently outside Celestia's room today was the last day of her isolation she had begun the process about two months back. And today was the day of her result. Slowly the door to her room opened and she walked out.

Xiu tried to walk towards her but Liko stopped her, "Wait she needs to have this potion, if it turns blue on her touch that means it's done." He put the vial in front of her. Celestia sipped the potion. They all looked intently towards the vial but the colour didn't change.

"Celestia, I am sorry."

"NO, we will do it again. The next process we will begin it." Liko shook his head.
