Was It All A Lie? [Severus Snape]

Chapter 8

Three Days Later

Muggle World, the Bookshop

Severus Snape was standing outside of the bookshop waiting on Wendy. He was wearing a dark blue shirt that was unbutton at the top making him look a bit more casual. He also wore a simple pair of black jeans and a black pair of suit shoes. His hands was resting in the pockets and through the sunglasses he wore Snape search the street for Wendy. But there was no sign of her.

Wendy was walking as fast as she could in her new white stilettos. If you are going to do it, do it good, that's what she had told herself when putting them on. Now she was regretting it. It was killing her feet and she didn't want to come across as overexcited, but it was to late now. Besides her stilettos she wore a dress that was 1950s inspired. It was mint green and had buttons from the waist up to the top. As always she had hair brown backpack on her back.

Sunscreen had she totally forgotten and she could feel the sun burning her neck. Wendy narrowed her eyes, the sun was shining and it was hard for her to see. But she thought she saw a tall man in front of her almost dresses in only black. "Hello" she said and looked at him.

Snape turned around. "Wendy, nice to see you again, how are you?"

"I am alright, sorry that I am a little bit late"

"No problem" Snape said. "Come with me, I want to hear your thoughts on the book" He held out his arm and the spy gladly took it. It was a good support for her hurting feet.

Muggle World, Unknown Park

"Look!" Wendy pointed at a small squirrel running up a tree. "They are so cute" she said and followed the small fur thing climbing the trees with her gaze.

Snape laughed "Yeah sure" and gave it a quick look. "Now I want to know, what did you think?" he looked at the beautiful young woman next to him.

"Well, it was different" the strawberry blonde woman began. "I'm not a fan of fantasy books" she could see that Snape was smiling softly and she understood why. "I just find it too surreal to work for me" she continued.

"You know, kids books aren't usually realistic, but that's the charm with it I think. It sort of hides the message in a much more graceful way than normal adults books. I think that is fascinating" said Snape.

"I've never thought of it like that before" Wendy went quiet for a moment. "But I understand your perspective, but do you actually think there is a deeper meaning for it?" she asked.

"Yes, totally. I believe all authors have a reason or meaning behind what they are writing" the hooked nose man sounded confident.

Wendy sigh lightly and laughed. "You sound exactly like a teacher" she said with a smile on her beautiful plump lips.

Snape laughed as well "Maybe because I am one" he said.

"What?" the strawberry blonde woman pretended to be surprised. "I did not know that" she lied and looked at him.

"Yes I am. I work as a professor in chemistry" the professor said.

"Huh, who would have thought... But why chemistry? It is just explosions and weird long formulas" she asked. "I've always disliked that subject, never understood it" Wendy lied again. When she went to Hogwarts as her true self Gamila potions had been one of the subjects she got her better grades in.

"Well" Snape began. "I have always thought of it as a fascinating subject..." The spy let him speak, based on her experience it was the best way to make the suspect reveal useful information.

Muggle World, Wendys Apartment

As soon as Wendy closed the door behind her she threw of her shoes. Her feet were reed and sore. "Aooch.." she said while taking her first step without them.

The spy sat down at her dining table with her notebook, a quill and some black ink. She started writing:

26 May 1999

I had my first meeting with the suspect today. Severus Snape wore shirt and jeans. He did not seem uncomfortable at all, he was very nice and not like the descriptions I've gotten of him. We talked about the book he recommended me, nothing special did he say except that he fancied kids books?

The suspect told me he worked as a professor in chemistry. He does not want to reveal his true wizard identity. He said he liked books, cooking and that he was into politics. I hope and believe I will be able to continue my relationship with the suspect, Severus Snape.
