Chapter 36: Talks of Past and Spending the Night with Harry

As I sat on Albus's lap...I couldn't help but smile to myself.

I mean its not an awkward thing...if anything he gave me permission too. He mostly just wanted to hug me. I said honestly, "I can't thank you enough how much this means to me and for also giving me hugs. I certainly have been needing a comforting hug. I didn't want this to seem awkward or anything." "It's no trouble at all Miranda, I understand you need it. Well, I certainly can't let you go without a father figure...mostly when dark times are coming. You need protection just like Harry and all the older students. But I sense there's something that you need to tell me..." "Well I...I do have come to love you like a father figure..."

I partly shouldn't feel that way but since I've been through so much and Dumbledore has been there for me like one...its made me love him more than just the school headmaster. I looked at him as he smiled at me, "Don't worry...I love you too Miranda...Also I do give you permission to spend the night with young Harry. I worry for him and I think he will like to have your company." I quietly squealed like a little girl and hugged him tightly. "Thank you, thank you, thank you Professor!" He chuckled and responded, "Anytime Miranda, anytime...I think you should be running along now."

I looked at him as I stood up and got off his lap.

I was silent for a minute until he asked, "Is something else troubling you Miranda?" "Its just...I don't want this year to end...It really does worry me for what might come." He got up, stood in front of me, and held my hand, "I know you don't...but anytime during the summer that you wish to talk to me...just send me a letter okay?" I nodded my head and responded, "But won't you be busy since Voldemort is back?" "Ah, yes I'm afraid that I will be but no matter what...I will make time to write a letter back to you, don't worry." I hugged him tightly as I whispered, "I really am going to miss you..." "I'll miss you too Miranda."

He wrapped his arms around me as he hugged me back.

As we let go I said, "Goodnight Albus." "Goodnight Miranda." I started to walk away as he stated, "Don't stay up too late now." I giggled as I turned around and responded, "I'll try my best not to." He chuckled as he watched me walk away out of his office. I made my way to Severus's personal room and knocked on the door. I opened the door and closed it behind me to find him sitting by the fire, reading the newspaper, and drinking something.

He put down the newspaper as I said cheerful, "Hey Severus!"

I walked over to his chair and stood in front of him. I giggled as he pulled me onto his lap and kissed me softly. He let go as I smiled, "Well hey to you too." He chuckled and responded, "Hello my love." We both laughed as I put my back against his chest and sat by the fireplace. He asked me, "So what happened after I left?" "Well, I sat on Albus's lap and he hugged me as he let me do that knowing I just needed that comfort. We talked a little bit and he told me that I could write to him during the summer; if I need to talk to him. I'm still a little shocked that he asked me if I wanted him to be my new father figure. Also he gave me permission to sleep with Harry tonight...I just don't want him to spend the night alone, you know."

"Sweetheart, Albus really does care about you a lot; and that Potter too...even though I despise him." "Can't you be just a-little bit nicer to him please...I mean he is my best friend after all?..." "I understand that he's your best friend but there is a reason why I don't him and his father." "I know that but still Severus..." "But still what?" "You never did actually tell me why you seem to hate Harry. I do have a right to know. " I looked at him as he turned his head away from me.

I used my hand to gently turned his head back and made him look at me. "Please just me baby...it's alright. If it really means that much to you, I won't say anything to anybody. I'll keep this between us." I knew he was deciding whether or not to tell me. At the same time, he knew that he could talk to me about anything and that I wasn't going to judge him or tell anyone...not even my best friends. Maybe he'll somewhat open up with me...even if it's just a-little bit. Its certainly better than to not tell me at all.

As Severus and I sat in his chair face-to-face, he took a deep breath, "I went to school here with Potter's parents...Lily and James. I was friends with Lily and I loved her...I thought that soon, she would become to love me too. But along came James...one day him and Lily bumped into each other. Lily shut me out some after that and ended up marrying James, years later. He used to pick on me and bully me in school all the time. I've always loved Lily and when she was killed...it's like more than my heart was just breaking. When Potter showed up, I could see that he looks just like James but he has Lily's eyes."

I grabbed his hand for comfort, "I'm so sorry Severus..."

He squeezed my hand and responded, "It's alright love...it's in the past...let's not talk about this anymore..." He pulled me even closer to him and kissed me softly. I could tell he wanted it for comfort and as a distraction. I can't believe Harry's father bullied Severus as a kid...it's just cruel. I kissed him back as I wrapped my arms around his neck. We ended up having a small make out session for about half an hour. He whispered as we were kissing, "You need to get going soon love...before it gets any later."

I looked into eyes, getting really sad cause I didn't want to leave him. I said sadly, "But I hate to leave you..." "I know you do but look...I promise that we can spend half of the summer together. First though...I want you to spend the first half at home, then the other half...you just spend with me." I gently pecked his lips, "I'll like that very much." He chuckled and responded while he kissed me back, "I was hoping you would." I let go as I got down off his lap to leave.

As I was heading out the door, I felt him wrap his arms around my waist from behind. I turned around as I hugged him tightly; putting my head into his chest. I whispered, "I love you Severus."He kissed my forehead and responded, "I love you too Miranda." We both smiled at each other as we let go. I turned around in the doorway and whispered, "Goodnight baby." He smiled at me and responded softly, "Goodnight love." I smiled back as I watched him close the door.

I started to walk away to the Gryffindor Common Room.

A few minutes later, I said the password to the painting as she let me in. I saw Harry waiting for me as I walked up to him, "You didn't have to wait up for me Harry." "I wanted to...what did Professor Dumbledore say?" "He said yes...also he surprised me by asking me if I wanted him to be my father figure." "What did you say?" I giggled and responded, "I said yes of course silly...is it alright with the other guys if I stay?" "I'm not sure but it doesn't matter, because I'm glad that you can spend the night with me Miranda." "I'm glad also Harry..."

I smiled at him as he smiled back at me and I sat down next to him.

It was quiet until he said, "I'm sorry that I got you in this mess with Voldemort Miranda...I didn't want you to..." "Harry I'm also in partial danger too, don't forget. We both watched Voldemort kill our parents years ago. So honestly to me it doesn't matter if I got into it now or not, because he would've found me eventually." "Yeah I know what you mean...but Dumbledore is right...I think there is a lot of danger ahead...I just hope you're ready for what is to come." "I am ready Harry and no matter what Hermione, Ron, and I will be here with you till the very end...and I will fight Voldemort with you if I have to."

Harry turned to look at me as I looked at him. He whispered, "Do you really mean it?" "I wouldn't be saying it, if it wasn't Harry." He smiled at me as he held my hand. I couldn't say anything as I looked at him and he leaned in to kiss my forehead. I smiled back at him as we both got up and went to bed. The only thing that was really bothering me was the fact that no one else really believed us that Voldemort came back. I mean sure Severus does and Dumbledore...but all the students including our friends, didn't believe us. Pulling out of that thought, he whispered in my ear as I was lying beside him in his bed, "Goodnight Miranda and I love you best friend."

I whispered back before both of us fell asleep, "Goodnight Harry and I love you too."
