You Are The One That I Want

Chapter 12

~Christmas day

There would be a Christmas party at Scarlett and Severus's manor tonight. They've invited Hogwarts professors, Scarlett's former collegues from Ministery, family friends and of course their children. Scarlett was in a rush, running around and giving orders to the house elves. "Scarlett sit down, i got tired while watching you" "I want everything to be perfect" "Everything will be perfect but if you keep running around, you'll look tired and that's not the definition of perfect for you, is it?" She raised an eyebrow "You have a point" then she sat down next to him. He smirked knowingly then moved one of the mistletoes over themselves. She rolled her eyes "That's cheesy" "That's festive" "Whatever, i don't say no to a kiss from a very festive Santa Snape" "Santa Snape huh? Then sit on Santa's lap and tell him what do you want for Christmas" She grinned and straddled on his lap then leant into his ear "All i want for Christmas is... you" she whispered seductively and nibbled his earlobe. His hands moved to her hips, squeezing slightly. "I remain at your disposal"

The guests've started to arrive and the manor was getting crowded. Snapes were welcoming the guests and having quick chats with them. "Scarlett, i missed working with you! Come and be the minister again, it's so hard! How could you do it for 10 years!? I respect you so much" said the new minister who was Scar's vice minister. She giggled "Oh my poor Dorian, the job is deathly but i know you are doing great! Thanks a lot but i am fine with my new job, i am too old for the ministry's chaos" He pulled a sad face jokingly then held her hand "You did many things for the wizarding world, you deserved a peaceful retirement" At the same time Sirius has arrived and he was examining the house. Then Stephen spotted him "Sirius!? Is that you?" He turned to see the owner of the voice "Stephen!?" They hugged each others "Long time no see!" Severus has noticed them and poked Scar's arm "what's happening there? Do they know each others?" "I have no idea but looks like it" then they walked over them "Welcome Sirius" "Oh Scar, hi! Y-you look absolutely breathtaking" "My mum always looks breathtaking" Stephen kissed her cheek. "SCAR IS YOUR MUM!?" His jaw dropped open. "Yeah she is, how do you know each other?" Sirius was still in shock so Scar answered. "He's my best friend since childhood. And i would ask you the same question" "If he's your best friend, how we didn't see him before? And we met at a bar in Wales,many years ago like 12 and we kept corresponding since then" "It's a long and very complicated story son, i'll tell you later" Sirius looked at Stephen and smiled softly "Do you remember that i've said you remind me someone when we first met. You've reminded me Ric, your grandfather" Stephen smiles "He's my role model, i always wanted to be like him" "Me too. He's like a father to me" Severus was watching Sirius in annoyance until somebody hugged him suddenly "Hi daddy!" She kissed his cheek. Severus smiled happily when he saw his daughter, Stella. "Hi princess, you look wonderful" "Thank you dad! I wore black, i didn't want to leave you alone in those colours" She grinned. Sirius let out a laugh and gained a deathly glance from Sev. "Hi i am Sirius by the way" "i am Stella, nice to meet you" she smiled and shook his hand. "You look a lot like your mum except the hair colour..." "I took it from my dad" she hugged Sev's arm. "Where is mum?" Sev looked around "She was here... i didn't notice that she's left" "Cause you're planning to kill him in that moment" she whispered into his ear. "Shh..." Stephen pointed Scar "There she is, coming here with Sydney" "I found my little boy!" Scar giggled. "Mum..." Sydney smiled softly and hugged his dad and siblings then looked at Sirius "Hello sir, i am Sydney" Sirius shook his hand "Hey, i am Sirius" After a little chat, Sev and Scar kept wandering around and talking with the guests. Sirius watched them and couldn't stop thinking about how he could have that family with Scar. Severus has stolen that chance from him, he has stolen his life from him. Jealousy was surrounding him all over again.
