"What was in it?"

It was a question she had heard her whole life. After a while, one gets tired of explaining things. She really ought to write a book or something. That way people would stop asking her. But then again, she took a quiet bit of pride in the potions master not being able to figure it out.

"It's Swooping evil anti-venom." Viola smiled as she casually unpacked her things. Placing each item proudly in the closet she was determined to share with her husband. "Tricky things swooping evils... You have to.."

"Befriend one. And that alone is a deadly task..." Severus hummed out. She suprised him more and more at every turn. She was a bold one. She wasn't afriad to do things in her own special way. It was those qualities and more that made her somewhat of a survivor. He knew she would need it.

"Yeah..." She smiled sadly. "But of course, there are somethings you can't bring with you to Hogwarts. She's with her own kind now." She closed the closet and bounced up to her husband. Taking his hands in hers. Looking up at him with soft eyes. What she was about to say would probably not be taken well.. "I want to eat in the great hall tonight." Severus raised an eyebrow. And began to shake his head to disagree with the idea.

"I want to show him we aren't afriad." She had a wicked smile on her face. There it was. The child like Death Eater shown through. This was all in a way, still a game to her. A dangerous game. But, one he was willing to play along too. For a wicked part of him also wished to present her upstairs once more. This time, as a fully realized couple. No longer pretending.

"Get.. Dressed.." he spoke slowly. A quick dramatic flick of his wand and the closet opened. Pulling forth a very slim. Very revealing black dress. Viola's eyes went wide as she walked towards the garment. Allowing it to circle her body. "Severus it's.."

"Just enough to get them.. talking.. not enough to get us in trouble." He smirked. Coming over, taking her hand. Leading her to the full length mirror. The garment came in front of her and she look at herself. And Severus came to stand behind her. Admiring what the mirror showed him.

He was, in all retrospects. A man of fine taste. He adored the splendor of the rich upper class pure bloods. But always found himself too bland to parade around in the fashion himself. But with her here... Oh the wonders he would place upon her. He flicked his wand and a necklace of jewels of deep green planted themselves on the collar of the dress. Earring's of the same jewels fell on the vanity, and heals appeared next to Viola.

"Severus." She began to turn. Wanting nothing more than to thank him. But he stopped her. A hand turning her back to the mirror. "Look.. at yourself..." He comanded in a tone that sloped between sultry and demanding. Viola swallowed, and did as she was told. She watched the mirror. Mismatches eyes batting against snow white lashes. Oh yes, she looked. But not necessarily at herself. As she saw Severus's head dip. His head was in her white blonde hair as he inhaled her scent. He closed his eyes to prevent them from rolling back.

What was he doing? This was highly inappropriate. But what she did back in that house... It had not left his mind. And the way she looked right now. The way she truly looked. It was.. beautiful. Ethereal even. He had been fighting himself since she revealed this form. Madame Grindelwald was wrapped around more than his heart and soul.

He should have stood back after that. He should have left the room and let her get chained in peace. But he heard her whimper when he rubbed his face in her hair just a little. It was such a small gesture of affection but... God were they both as equally touch starved? He couldn't stop himself. He moved his face from her hair, moving down to her neck. Leaving light kisses every few centimeters until he felt the skin on her neck. He burried his face there. Leaving even lighter kisses on the ink touched ivory skin. An Azkaban mark. He never noticed it before.
