The next day Severus left early as to not be seen by Dorothy. Celestia walked down to the kitchen she noticed that Severus was not in his room. She entered the kitchen to see Dorothy sitting at the table. "Good morning Grandma, how are you feeling today?" Dorothy looked at her, "You're still seeing him, even after what happened." Celestia sat opposite to her grandmother, "Who are you talking about?" Dorothy kept her tea cup down and looked at Celestia, "Don't act dumb, I saw him leave in the morning, Severus Snape. Don't you understand what I am trying to tell you is for your good he is not right for you, can't you get this simple thing. " Celestia got up and picked up her cup, "We are not discussing this Grandma." Dorothy got up as well, "Don't you walk away from me young lady. Why can't you see what he did to your family, to your mother..." Celestia stopped, "Enough Grandma I said we are not discussing this." Dorothy called after her, "I won't discuss anything anymore, you are making the same mistake your mother made, I am not telling you anything and I won't even be there to do it, I'm leaving today for France at least there people would want to listen to me." Dorothy walked passed her towards her room. Celestia sat down. After a few minutes Dorothy walked down with her suitcase and walked out of the house. Celestia kept staring at her retreating figure, as she finally disappeared, Celestia had tears in her eyes, "If only I could tell you Grandma, this will all be over soon, very soon." Celestia walked to her room to see a letter on the windowsill. She opened it.

I have the information you need. Meet me in Knockturn Alley at 9pm make sure no one sees you.

             At around quarter to nine Celestia made her way to Knockturn Alley she was dressed in a long black coat with a hood that covered her face completely. She swiftly walked pass the people scrambling around she gripped her wand tightly ready to attack at anytime. Someone tapped her shoulder. She turned promptly and pointed her wand to the persons chin, the person in front of her had a mask on. "If you want the information then you should forsake the idea of killing me." Celestia dropped her hand, the person's face was not visible he wore a mask that covered his face; it looked just like a death eaters mask. "Did you do what I asked you to?" the man looked at her, "Yes, must say his house is very well guarded and hidden, but the Rhodonite you left on his bookshelf helped." Celestia smirked, "That crystal was specifically charmed to help you find the place and reveal the spells guarding the house. Now what information you have for me what did you find?"
"Well I never found anything in his house that important, but I think there was some problem with his family, he has only one picture with his mother and father, it was hidden behind the bookshelves in a box with a spell put on it, it was difficult to break the spell but I managed to bring you a copy of the image. Also the main information I found was here in Knockturn Alley." Celestia took the picture from his hand, "Go on." She ordered him. "Looks like Mr. Snape was a regular visitor to the brothel in Knockturn Alley, he used to visit everyday till before the Second Wizarding War, he stopped. Looks like Mr. Snape had a massive appetite." Celestia gave him a stern look, "That's not your concern, any other information, whom did he visit." The man pulled out a parchment and a photograph from his pocket. "This girl, he used to meet her only her no one else. She no more works here and no one really knows a thing about her. That's all I have for you." Celestia nodded she handed him a velvet pouch, the man started walking she pulled him back, "My Rhodonite." He turned and gave her crystal, it was after all an heirloom passed on for generations. Celestia apparated to her home. Now she was all alone, Dorothy had left. She sat in the study with all the pictures and information she had just found out about Severus. She looked at the picture of the girl. It wasn't going to be easy to get information, after the war the ministry had become more stringent but she was a journalist she had access to it. She was trying to figure out what was wrong with his family why did he have to hide his family picture in such a way. With a swish of a wand newspapers slowly started stacking around her. She had newspapers from current time to the ones before the first Wizarding War all stacked up. She used her wand to find out any information she could find on Snape. Seven Newspaper flew out and assembled on the table. She opened the first one it was a recent newspaper the false article by Marcus, she flipped through the next one same War hero, the next one was titled Severus Snape the new headmaster of Hogwarts. She searched again this time the newspaper she found didn't have Severus Snape in it but the information was on Eileen Prince and Tobias Snape. She read through the article "The last heir of Prince family gets married to a muggle. So Severus' mother was a pure blood from the Prince family and Tobias Snape a muggle." Celestia quickly picked up her phone and dialed a number, "I need some information, but it is very confidential no one can know. I want all the information you can find on Tobias Snape, Cokeworth Spinner's End. Any and every information you can find I need it." She then looked at the picture of the girl, finding her was going to be taxing. Celestia decided that she would be going to the Ministry of Magic  to get information on the girl.

            Celestia walked in the Ministry of Magic. She hurriedly moved towards the floor of the Aurror's offices. She looked around she found what she was looking for, she walked towards a door and knocked. "Come in." She stepped inside, "Hello!" the chair moved "Celestia. Hi please have a seat, so what brings you here?" She smiled then sat down, "I was thinking we never really got to go out on a proper date, so I thought how about we give it a try." Arran was more than happy to see Celestia, "Yes, I would really like that. Infact we can leave, oh I almost forgot there is a new case come up, I just need to submit a few files I will be right back."
"Sure I will be here, waiting." Arran picked up the files and walked out, "I wont be long."
"Oh please take your time." The moment Arran stepped out Celestia swiftly took out her wand and pointed it towards the door. "Colloportus." The door snap shut and locked itself, She quickly moved behind the desk and searched the drawers.

Arran left the files on his colleague's desk then walked back to his cabin. Celestia was still busy searching for the key, she needed it to break into the file section which contained all the information on living and deceased wizards. This key was given to every aurror for information on wizards and places, the only way she would be able to find the girl in the picture is if she could access those files. Arran walked towards his door he was about to reach for the handle of the door but someone called his name he turned around, it seems he dropped his letters as well with the file so he walked back to collect them. Celestia was still trying her luck the key was nowhere to be found when she looked at the door she saw a shadow she quickly pointed her wand and wordlessly unlocked the door then took her place in the chair. Arran walked in, "Sorry, to keep you waiting." Celestia turned to look at him, "No problem." He walked to his desk and opened his drawer then placed the letters inside when he went to get up, he accidentally dropped a file on the desk so he bent down to pick it up that's the time Celestia saw the key it was around his neck he had put it in a necklace. She cursed under her breath this was not going to be easy. "Shall we then?" Arran walked towards her offering his arm, which she accepted and they walked out of his office.

Arran took Celestia to the most posh Wizarding restuarant, 'The Wizard's Realm' . Celestia had been there before but always for an assignment today also she was there for an assignment. They walked towards their table. The place was just filled with wizards all in their archetypal robes. The dining hall was expansive on one side the tables and on the other side was a band of musicians and dancers performing. They sat down, the server immediately appeared next to them, "Good evening Mr. Dyson!" Arran looked up to the server, "Hello Cyril, Good evening to you as well, get us your best wine in stock and the chef's special for dinner." He looked at Celestia, "I hope you don't mind, that I ordered for you." Celestia looked at him if it was an actual date and he had done that she would have been angry but as it was none of that she just smiled, "No problem." The food appeared in front of them, this was one of the awesome things about a wizarding restaurant the food appears almost immediately after the order reaches the chef. Celestia's entire attention was on the key. Arran kept on blabbering about his new mission. God the things I have to bear for the assignments! She thought as she smiled through everything he was saying.

"Arran what a pleasant surprise!"
"Mr. Malfoy its good to see you."

"Oh please call me Draco, and I can see you are not alone this time." Arran looked at Celestia, "This is Celestia Hamilton, she's a journalist at the Daily Prophet you must be knowing her since..." Draco gave her a churlish look, "How can I forget didn't you write the article on my father accusing him of so many things." Celestia wiped her mouth with the cloth then got up and stood face to face with Draco, "I don't print lies, Mr. Malfoy. Maybe you should check with your father first then come and talk to me about it." She smiled staring at him. "Why you..." Arran immediately stood up and tapped Draco on his shoulder, "Mr. Malfoy what's done is done, let's not dwell on the past." Celestia excused herself as she walked towards the powder room.

"What are you doing with a journalist, working on a case?" Arran smirked, "No, we are on a date, she's is really special." Draco had a disgusted look on his face, "Well, enjoy your date, I will see you around, hopefully with someone else next time." Draco walked out of the dining room, he almost collided with Celestia, "This isn't over, Hamilton." Celestia looked at him, then rolled her eyes.

"Sorry about that he's one angry wizard. So have you thought of anything for dessert?" Arran asked her.

Celestia's mind was still working on how to get that key.

"Celestia...." She was still staring at the necklace. He waved his hand in front of her, "Celestia, what are you thinking." Celestia pretty much engrossed in her thoughts, "To take that off." Arran was surprised he didn't think her to be so bold. "My shirt? In here? I don't think that would be appropriate. But I do think we should leave if you're still interested in taking this off." He winked. Celestia came back to her senses, "Huh?!" Arran got up and grabbed her arm, "Come on lets leave." Then she realized what he was implying, she so wished she could just face palm herself. But she smiled and played along. After leaving the restaurant Arran grabbed her hand and disapparated to his home.

"Welcome to the Dyson mansion." Celestia really felt like she was knee deep in quicksand when he pulled her towards his personal chamber. Arran moved to remove her coat, Celestia gulped. No no no, abort mission abort mission! That's all that played in her mind. He opened the door of his bedroom, pulling Celestia with him. And slowly started unbottoning his shirt looking at her with lust in his eyes finally Celestia decided to say something, but he placed a finger on her lips, "Oh I almost forgot you wanted to remove it right, well go ahead ..." Her eyes widened. "I want...........water... please." Arran smirked and walked towards his side table to pour her a glass of water. Celestia took that opportunity and reached for her wand she pointed it towards Arran, "Stricta dormire!"(Translates to Sleep tight) He fell on the bed the moment the spell hit him, she slowly walked towards him. She relaxed the moment she heard him snoring lightly. She turned him, then took the key and used a duplicating charm. She walked out of the Dyson Mansion not wasting a single minute she apparated to her house.

She relaxed on the sofa and closed her eyes, suddenly she felt someone place a hand on her shoulder, she quickly opened her eyes with her wand pointed at the person.
