Chapter 3: Date.
Severus turned when he heard the door open, there she was again Miss Hamilton. "Oh what brings you two early this morning to my office?"
Minerva said, observing them keenly. "Well whatever it is will have to wait for some time, Celestia have a seat. The thing is, this is Arthur Weasley's jukebox which he tried to make, it catches odd radio frequencies from the future it seems and I have no clue what he was thinking gifting it to me, but as polite as it was, I have to return it to him, yesterday night it kept playing some odd tunes, it seemed like a lot of cracking and banging of crockery. I must return it I won't be long I will just floo him." With that she got up and moved to the Fire place and soon was engulfed in a Green flames. Celestia walked around the office doing her best impression of trying and ignoring Severus, she walked to the jukebox. She starred at it for sometime then turned but her hand slightly brushed the juke box, suddenly the juke box started playing.
♫♪ (Addicted by Saving Abel) ♫♪
I'm so addicted to
All the things you do
When you're going down on me
In between the sheets
All the sound you make
With every breath you take
It's unlike anything
When you're loving me
Oh girl lets take it slow
So as for you well you know where to go
I want to take my love and hate you 'til the end
Shit. Celestia looked at the juke box then move to it to shut it. She waved her wand nothing worked, God dammit!!. She turned to look at Severus who shifted in his chair to look at her but before he could she turned, everything in that office became extremely AWKWARD and UNCOMFORTABLE. She finally resorted to kicking it, it stopped. Phew, she thought as she went back and sat down in the chair. "Do you have to touch the things that aren't yours all the time!" Severus sneered at her, "I didn't even touc...." It started playing again.
♫♪ (Naughty Girl by Beyonce) ♫♪
I'm feelin' sexy
I wanna hear you say my name boy
If you can reach me
You can feel my burning flame
I'm feelin kind of n-a-s-t-y
I just might take you home with me
Baby the minute i feel your energy
Your vibe's just taken over me
Start feelin so crazy babe
Lately, I feel the funk coming over me
I don't know what's gotten into me
The rhythm's got me feelin so crazy babe
Tonight i'll be your naughty girl
I'm callin all my girls
We're gonna turn this party out
I know you want my body
Oh come on!! They both looked at each other then the juke box. "Bombarda!" they said in unison pointing at the Juke box with their wands. Suddenly the flame in the fire place turned green as Minerva and Arthur entered "I'm sorry Arthur it's a lovely gift but it doesn't go well with my other furniture I was thinking you should take it..." she looked towards the place where the box was kept, there was nothing there except for broken pieces and ash. She turned towards the two perpetrators, "What happened here?"
Severus and Celestia looked at each other. "Nothing headmistress, I need Miss Hamilton for some work. If you will excuse us." He walked towards the door holding it for Celestia, she didn't say a word just walked out. The moment she was out of the office she started laughing. "That was one hell of an awkward situation to be in." she looked at Severus he still seemed to be angry. "I am sorry for yesterday. Look I think your right you don't need assistance I will talk to McGonagall."
"NOT.SO.FAST. you have ruined my entire collection of Dreamless sleep potion."
"Like honestly that's not a thing to collect you know!!"
"You will help me restock my collection, Miss Hamilton as my assistant."
"So you're not angry?"
"No."
"So you have forgiven me?"
"No."
"Fine, when should I assist you, your highness?" he looked at her. "Tomorrow morning we will leave for Diagon Alley to collect potion ingredients."
Celestia walked around the castle with the map Hagrid had given her. She was spellbound by the beauty of the castle. She walked outside the castle towards the black lake, she sat down near the edge, starring as the molten orb slipped beneath the horizon. The sky became darker as the clouds rolled by. The mauve in the sky mixed with dark hues, slowly the sky became a rich shade of blue. She got up and started to walk back to the castle, she heard something, she turned to see a familiar Beetle sitting there looking at her she walked towards it. The beetle changed into a woman, "Hello darling, hope you haven't forgotten about me." The woman said with a sneer, "Even if I tried to it wouldn't work, Rita."
"So its been two days what information do you have?"
"Just that he is a bloody git, he thinks no end of himself and he's so secretive."
"That's something everyone knows tell me something different."
Celestia thought for a while. "Well I am assuming he has nightmares everyday, and McGonagall spoke about some night that changed his life! He chose to switch sides, that's all I know."
"Well do something get him to like you, make him fall for you, maybe that will melt his façade!!"
"Well to be honest the falling part is done in fact he initiated it.."
"What?"
" Uh...Nothing I will try to do something more."
"WHO'S THERE?" Celestia turned to look it was none other than Argus Filch. "Mr. Filth I mean Filch its me Celestia Hamilton, I was just taking a stroll here."
"I heard you speaking to someone, lassie."
She turned around to see the beetle flutter away. "I'm a bit crazy I tend to talk to myself, you should try it sometimes." She said and walked past him towards the castle. She entered the hall. After dinner she waited for Severus to finish his, once he was done she walked behind him, she walked all the way till the dungeons. "Why Miss Hamilton are you following me?"
"Because when I was little my mom told me to follow my dreams." She winked at him, then she walked past him to her room. She stopped and turned to see Severus starring at her with a bewildered look, "Just kidding." With that she shut her door. She leaned her head on the door and sighed. This is going to be so difficult.
Next morning there was again consistent knocking on her door. Celestia opened the door and looked down, "Miss Hamilton, I am up here." Same voice, it was none other than Snape and his super famous scowl. "Oh, Good morning......why does everyone in this castle get up so early?"
Severus raised an eyebrow, scowl still in place. "Its 8:30am Miss Hamilton, and why aren't you ready yet we need to go to buy the potion ingredients. Hurry up I will meet you at the gate in..." he pulled up his sleeve slightly to check the time, "15 mins, DON'T.BE.LATE." he didn't wait for her to respond he turned and walked towards the hall, Celestia peeped from her door looking at him as he walked, He's got Style, wait what am I saying. "15mins, Miss Hamilton." He said then disappeared in the corner. Celestia turned immediately and walked inside.
15mins later......
20mins later......
22mins later.......
25mins later.........
"Sorry, professor. I was just grabbing a snack."
"10mins late!"
"Would you like some almonds?" she asked him.
"No!"
"Then how about a date?" she asked wiggling her eyebrows.
Severus stopped and looked at her, "Excuse me?"
His eyes were plainly boring into hers. She picked the bag of trail mix in front of him, "Dates!" she showed him. "I have eaten my breakfast. Lets leave we are already late." He said as he walked in front of her and apparated to Diagon alley.
"Wow, okay." She apparated as well.
She saw him standing outside the apothecary , he was looking around trying to search for her in the crowd, she walked towards him and stood next to him. "Who exactly are we searching for Professor?" she asked as innocently as she possibly could. Severus rolled his eyes and walked inside the apothecary. The moment they entered there was a bizarre smell in the air, Celestia covered her nose immediately, "Good thing I didn't have breakfast!" she said looking around. Severus walked towards the counter and handed a list to the person behind it.
The person presumably the owner Mr. Mulpepper walked inside and started placing all the items on the counter one by one. Celestia walked around the shop, she saw something that fascinated her she moved towards it raising her hand to touch it, "DON'T.EVEN.THINK.ABOUT.IT. please refrain from touching anything, cause if something happens you wont be able to destroy this place like the juke box and walk away scot-free." She put her hand down and swiftly turned to face Severus, "I thought we both destroyed the jukebox Professor!" she said crossing her hands and raising an eyebrow.
"Professor. Snape, all done. Here are all the ingredients on the list, should I send them to Hogwarts?"
"No need Mr. Mulpepper, my ASSISTANT here will carry them." He said and pointed towards Celestia. The man came with all the ingredients and gave them to Celestia. There were at least 5 bags full of ingredients. She took them and walked out of the Apothecary while Severus paid for them he dropped a few galleons and soon after he walked out as well.
"ICE CREAM!!!" She turned to look at Severus, "Please , please, please I love ice cream." She looked at him pleadingly. "Very well." He said as they both walked towards the ice cream parlor.
"Hello welcome to Florean Fortescue! What would you like?" Celestia looked around checking all the flavours available. "I would like two scoops of Double Mint Chocolate Chip." She turned and looked towards Severus , "What about you professor?"
"Its 10 am who has ice cream at this hour!!"
She looked at him and frowned, "Its always ice cream time!! Now what will you have? Cause I wont share!"
"One black licorice swirl!"
They both sat down on one of the tables. Celestia seemed to be more than happy when she saw her ice cream. "You seem very happy Miss Hamilton!" She smiled "When I was small Professor Snape I used to go to have ice cream every weekend with my grandmother! It was my escape really..."
"Escape?"
She took a bite of her ice cream, "Wow, this is just ama-zing!!" she looked at him, as his ice cream came. "Honestly, even your ice cream is black!"
"Well, I like strong flavours and black happens to be my favorite colour!"
"Yup that I figured." She said pointing up and down his attire. He laughed at that. She dropped her spoon and starred at him mouth wide open in shock. "Close your mouth Miss Hamilton."
"Did you just....?"
"Laugh? Yes I am very much capable of doing so."
She smiled at him then continued to eat, "By the way is this a date?" she asked wiggling her eyebrows she continued " Also that's the first time I have seen you laugh."
"And it will be the last finish your ice cream we need to leave." After they were done they apparated to Hogwarts.
