Demons

Seventeen

That night, wine was shared, kisses were shared. You weren't the normal headmistress, you stalked around in your Animagus form, sitting in on one teachers class a day and it was the third day of class. You where in with Slughorn when. Evie came running in. You tilted your head as she looked scared. You looked up at Slughorn and he nodded. "You may ma'am. Miss. Snape. Please exit with your mother." You had transformed with that moment scaring the students. You pushed the door open and exited with Evie.

"What happened Evie?" You asked softly. "The bloody Barron Scared me, that's all." She said, your motherly instincts kicking in. "Evie Lily Snape, tell me now what really happened or should I go pull your father from his class?" Severus was the parent on discipline duty. You were on it too but he Detentions that no other teachers would think of. "N-no ma'am." She said looking down. "Peeves let out a boggart into the castle...and it um...scared me." You shook your head.

"It's okay go to class... I'll speak to the ghost of Slytherin house, the bloody Barron about talking with peeves again, tell Professor Slughorn I wish him well." You dismissed your daughter and walked down the hall back to your office. It was lunch time when you got there because you had a long chat with Sir Nickolas and the Bloody Barron about peeves thought on humor. They both agreed to have eyes everywhere so no one would get harmed by anything the 'funny' pulled.

Severus sat on your desk chair and smiled up at you. "Hello dear." He greeted. You nodded, quickly knowing something was wrong severus stood and walked over to you. "What's the matter?" He asked quietly. "Peeves, allowed or from what Evie told me. Brought a boggart into the castle." You sighed and leaned into him clearly stressed. "You need a break." You glared at him as she spoke.

"Sorry, sorry." He said putting a hand up. "It's only three days in.... tomorrow I'll be sitting in on one of your classes." You mumbled moving away from him and sitting in your chair. "This coming Saturday, not this the next one, is the first trip to Hogsmade for the third through seventh year... maybe take Evie with?" You watched now as Severus sighed. "She's been to Hogsmade, love. She'll be able to go in their third year. School rules." You nodded as severus kneeled besides you. "I love you." You told him quietly.

"Come sleep down my in quarters. You may sleep better." He said. "Your right. But little you have a class to go teach." You responded. "About that...one of the students may or may not have had dropped a vile of sleeping drought...no one drank it, the smell and smoke from if caused everyone to pass out, I survived because I stopped breathing for a second. I'll yell at them all later." You shook your head gently and sighed. "your terrible." He wrapped you up in his cloak and sat you on his lap.

"Not as vile as you think dear." He said. "Just stubborn." You added. "Now I know where our daughter gets it." He laughed softly and nodded. "Of course she gets your hard headedness." He stated into your ear. "Well..she has your looks." You snuggled into his warmth and smiled. "Yeah....your eyes and nose." "And your hair and smile."

You smiled. "Come it's lunch time love." He picked you up in his arms, you squealed. "Severus!" He spun around laughing. "What my dear?" He let you down, your feet hitting the ground. "Your crazy."  You pulled the cloak from your shoulders and lied it on the love seat that was moved into the office. "For you dear, I am."  You grabbed him by the collar of his over coat and kissed him. "I love you." You heard him mumbled. "I love you too." He released you from his grip and took your hand. "I'm guessing you gave home work to the rest of your classes?" You asked. "You bet I did. With clear and perfect instructions for everyone." You rolled your eyes and took his hand as you lead him down the stair case. Students passing you waved at you but turned their heads as past quickly when they saw snape. The trial of heros was coming up quickly. With in four months, a two month long trial will go on at Hogwarts. All magical schools, including the American schools join in, for memory of Dumbledore.

You pulled your husband along the halls towards the great Hall, where lunch ready and waiting for all students. Guiding him over to Evie's table you tapped her. "Join us for lunch." You said softly, smiling. She nodded and stood. Your e/c staring back at you in a much younger form. This was Severus and yours carbon copy of life. Your nose and eyes, soft pale pink lips. Severus' hair, black and straight as well as his lip shape. Evelyn, Evie nodded. Evie being her Nickname that you put down on her school information. "Of course. Can Juniper and Jonah join us?" She asked kindly looking back at the two brunette's with icey blue eyes. "Well of course they can." You said. They weren't Slytherins they were Gryffindors. You always told Evie she could make Friend from what ever house she chose. Severus narrowed his eyes at the boys and nodded. "Of course. But that doesn't mean they can earn the points they lost back or get out of class and homework." He stated calmly before nodding and walking off while conjuring up a big yellow and silver blanket.

You smiled and collected some food, knowing the elves always made extra in case and motioned for them to follow you. "Evie?" You called. "yes mother?" "Go ahead and help your father." She ran ahead. You could hear the twins teeth chartering. "Don't be scared of him. He's soft on the inside." You turned to them before sending the plates of food after your daughter and husband. "How could you marry someone like that?" Asked Jupiter the taller brunette.

You sighed. "He was a childhood friend I met on the Hogwarts Express. Getting to know him you learn he's just a ball of energy and care. He has a kack fro potions and a great skill when it comes to the dark arts since he was a spy for Dumbledore." You responded walking off, following your family.
