A Song Bird- Severus Snape Love Story

Chapter 4- Black Lake

A/N- Above I've attached the song that is sung later in this chapter

I made my way to my first class after breakfast. I had Charms first up. Layla wasn't in my class which is annoying because I've yet to make any new friends. I entered the classroom and took a seat at the back of the class.

Professor Flitwick gave everyone a run down on what we're all going to be to be learning for the year. Thankfully we're going to be revising charms we've already learnt to prepare us all for our OWLS. So hopefully this will be an easy year.

Half way through Professor Flitwick's introduction a certain redhead joined us.

"Ahh, Mr Weasley. Nice of you to finally join us," Flitwick said to the tardy boy.

"Sorry Professor I slept in." Bill said as an excuse.

"Very well then, please take a seat. There is a spare one next to Miss Montgomery." Bill made his way over to me and sat down in the empty seat to my right.

"Hey there pretty lady." Pretty lady? What a flirt I thought to myself. I smiled in response to him and turned my attention back to the front of the classroom and attempted to take notes from the chalkboard. I say 'attempted' because the whole time Bill was trying to get my attention. He snatched the quill out of my hands and gave me a grin.

"Weasley Is there any reason you find the need to snatch my quill from my hand?" I asked him with a slightly annoyed tone. He raised his eyebrow and said "Sassy today I see. I was just going to Hogsmeade this weekend?" he questioned.

"I am actually, why?" I questioned back.

"Well I wanted to know if you wanted to grab a butterbeer with me at the Three Broomsticks?" Was he... asking me out?! I was meant to be going to Hogsmeade with Layla but I guess one butterbeer wouldn't hurt, right?

"Uhh, sure Bill why not?"

"Awesome, I'll meet you there at 11. Okay?" he asked

"Okay," I told him as I took my quill back from his hand and continued listening to Professor Flitwick.

After class was over I made my way to Muggle studies. The period flew by quick enough, we learnt all about TV's. I walked to the Great Hall for lunch and sat next to Layla.

"Guess who asked me to have a butterbeer with them this weekend?" I said to Layla.

"WHO?" she practically yelled.

"Bill Weasley..."

'NO WAY, Omg what are you going to wear?!!"

"I've got no clue, I hope it's not awkward, what if he doesn't find me interesting?"

"Hazel Rose Montgomery, In all of the three days I've known you I would never describe you as boring,"

"My middle name is Delilah, not Rose but thank you Layla."

Just as we finished talking, a flat voice from behind me started to speak, causing me to drop my pumpkin juice all over myself. "Miss Montgomery I knew you were stupid but I definitly didn't think you were stupid enough to go out with a Weasley" Professor Snape said. I knew better than to respond so I just sat there cleaning pumpkin juice off my lap.

With a wave of his hand all the juice was gone. Wow he's quite good at wandless magic I thought to myself, I wonder if he would teach me? I looked up to thank him but he was already exiting the hall.

"What's his problem?" Layla asked, "No clue, but why would he even care who I go out with," "One of the top ten questions scientists still can't explain, what goes on in Snape's head." She said back, I chuckled a bit and continued eating.
