Kat's POV:
Today was the day that I was leaving to return to Hogwarts, with Ginny following behind on the Hogwarts Express tomorrow. I had thought about staying behind so many times, but each time the thought entered my mind, the dreams that Scar had been having concerning Neville without me there reminded me that I had to go back. I clung to George for a moment longer than I had time for, before forcing myself to step away from him and into the fireplace.
"I bloody love you Katherine Weasley, don't forget that." (G)
"I won't forget it, because I bloody love you just as much George Weasley." (K)
I looked into the chocolate brown eyes that still melted my heart with each glance before disappearing to Hogwarts. I didn't arrive in the Great Hall fireplace as I did last time, but rather I was in Severus's office. He stood as soon as he saw it was me before ushering me into a chair in front of his desk and locking his office door.
"You are last to arrive Katherine." (Sev)
"May I assume you have news for me?" (K)
"You may. The trio as you call them have reunited, and they have the sword of Godric Gryffindor now as well. I suspect they have already destroyed the locket." (Sev)
I feel myself let out a sigh of relief that the trio are back together, thankful that Ron came to his senses, even if I am curious as to how he met back up with them. I look back to Severus and see the worry deep in his brooding eyes, and I know that isn't all the news he has for me.
"Severus?" (K)
"The Dark Lord was informed by the Carrows that you are interfering in their punishments too often, not allowing the students to learn their lesson." (Sev)
"I'm not to be allowed to take their punishments, am I?" (K)
"They will be given half the punishment if you interfere, with yourself receiving the other half of course." (Sev)
"I see." (K)
"May I assume that you will be doing that?" (Sev)
I don't say anything as I raise an eyebrow at his comment. He lets out a sigh before nodding his head and walking back behind his desk and taking a seat. I look behind him and see Professor Dumbledore nodding his head a bit at me, knowing my answer as well.
"I should have known that you would not be smart enough to leave well enough alone." (Sev)
"Well what can I say Severus, I was sorted into Gryffindor and we love a good fight." (K)
"Hmmm too well I know. It would also be a good idea to tell Mr. Longbottom to hold his tongue more often. The Carrows were instructed to punish him when they needed, but if he didn't improve by Easter to eliminate him." (Sev)
"I will Severus, but if you honestly think I haven't already told him last term then you think less of me than I thought you did. I also know that he will be forced into hiding by Easter if not before." (K)
"May I presume a Ms. Beals told you such." (Sev)
"It's Mrs. Stoykov now, but yes Scar has already seen it happen several times in several different ways. I will help him cross that bridge when I get there." (K)
I see him nod at me before letting out a breath, his façade of the uncaring Death Eater slipping for just a moment and I see the man behind the mask he wears so well. A man that is so tired and beat down by his past and his present that it's a wonder he has any energy at all. I look up to see Dumbledore and his eyes are not twinkling as they usually are as they too are looking at Severus.
