Severus POV

What was that man doing in Athena's classroom?

I had heard nothing but whispers and talks about how he had entered her room, and she had flung herself onto him.

Each one was saying a new thing. One would say that they were together. Others say they were engaged.

It made me infuriated that they brought these topics up. Most of all, I was afraid that these rumors could be true.

Maybe I was wrong that Sirius was the one she was in love with; perhaps it was Lupin. I swayed my head in disgust.

They were just child-based rumors that somehow was causing me to get angry.

I had already started to walk around the area during a breaking period.

I was looking at the inside of her classroom.

Time seemed to almost standstill as I walked by.

The children were happy and smiling, and I could see a tiny glimpse of Athena.

(What the dress looks like)

She wore a beautiful black dress with blue tips at the collar and her cuffs. The skirt had a small blue strip that crept in.

He black curls rounded about her face as she smiled and talked to her children. Her flickering eyes were looking at them and looking back at the board.

Athena looked happier and brighter today.

Was it because of Remus?

Her eyes then looked up at me. Those green and blue eyes that stared at my own. Her face went red, and she immediately looked away.

Looking forward, I could find myself somewhat embarrassed. However, quite happy with the reaction she had given.

I smiled to myself, which seemed to catch the attention of Albus Dumbledore, who was on this floor, surprisingly.

I wanted to twirl back and not see him, but that would mean I would have to go back around Athena's classroom.

He seemed to be happy. "Good afternoon Professor Snape. You seem to be in a good mood." His blue eyes glimmering with playfulness.

Another bad sign.

"Good Afternoon, Headmaster," I say in one tone. "I don't possibly understand what you mean by that statement."

He motions us to walk in the direction I just came in. I was very hesitant about going in that direction, and I knew that Dumbledore and Athena were not on good terms at the moment.

Dumbledore was even more determined to make me walk this way. "Is there a problem Professor?"

He knew that I would listen to him. I sighed, knowing I was defeated. Turning around, I began to walk with him.
