A Song Bird- Severus Snape Love Story

Chapter 24- Warrior

A/N~ above is her dress and the link to the song she performs xx

There was about a week until I got to spend 8 weeks straight with Sev. I'm beyond excited but also very nervous.

The end of year feast will also hold a performance and a dance where all the performing arts students will perform the song that means a lot to them. I have spent a year thinking about what means something to me and I've finally decided to tell my story through a song.

I still haven't told this to Severus, It'll be a surprise. Layla and I went to Hogsmeade and bought our dresses. I just know Sev will love it.

I was sitting in Potions not really paying attention, I was daydreaming about the Professor.

"Some of you must already be experienced and qualified Potions Master's if you don't find any need to pay attention." Sev slammed his rolled up newspaper on the edge of my desk snapping me out of my trance.

"Sorry Professor." I muttered quietly trying not to smile.

"I'm sorry if I am boring you Miss Montgomery but I would prefer not to have any one under my teaching fail their OWL's."

"Yes sir." I soluted in a silly manner and Sev just rolled his eyes. I paid attention for the rest of class but he still asked me to stay back.

"What can I do for you sir." I said while the students were still exiting. After he made sure the students were gone he smirked at me.

"Are you ready for your performance?" He inquired.

"I think I am." I wasn't for a long time but I am now.

"You're going to do amazingly my love."

"I love it when you call me that Sevy." I kissed him farewell and went to my common room.

*time skip till the morning of the performance*

I was pacing the dorm freaking out about tonight. Fanning myself so I don't pass out while Layla got me water.

"What If everyone thinks I'm crazy?" Only Layla knows about what I'm performing.

"Hazel, everyone in that Hall Is going to know how strong you are."

"I hope so."

A few hours pass and we start to head down to the end of year feast which was starting early so people can still get ready for the dance.

"As we come to the end of another school year. You all, teachers and students, have worked so hard. Both academically and socially. As you all know we will have, for the first time, an end of year dance. Brought to you all by the Performing Arts students. They have prepared a lovely evening for you all. Enjoy your night and enjoy your feast. Without further adieu.... Bon Appetit!" He waved his hand and the food appeared.

I was too nervous to eat too much so I only had a small amount of food. After about an hour the hall was dismissed to get ready for the evening.

Layla and I had opted for some lovely gowns, hers being yellow and mine being a deep forest green. I put on some bold black lipstick and light eyeshadow.

I went the back way to the Hall behind the curtain of the stage for the performance. Fortunately I was last on.

I stood backstage warming up for my turn while the hall was filled with dancing couples and chaperoning professors. I was yet to say hi to Sev, I wanted the whole look to be a surprise.
