*Emma's POV*

Severus and I walked to the Great Hall while talking and laughing. My right hand is entwined with Severus’s left hand. We walked in the Great Hall and sat down at the Slytherin table. After we sat down, Kelsa, Lily, James, Remus, Sirius, Peter, and Jen walked in while talking and laughing. Lily glanced my way, frowning, but continued her way to the Gryffindor table. I just stared at her longingly. Severus and I started eating when the mail came. Toby, my eagle owl, flew over to me and dropped a red envelope in front of me. I grab the howler and run out of the Great Hall and into an empty classroom. I put silencing wards up around the room.

I opened the letter slowly and carefully. It started screaming at me:

'AMELIA KAYE EVANS! HOW DARE YOU YELL AT YOUR SISTER LIKE THAT! IT WAS UNCALLED FOR! WE WILL SEND ALL OF YOUR STUFF TO THE HEADMASTER FOR YOU! DON'T EVER COME BACK HERE! DON'T SEND ANYTHING TO US! WE DON'T WANT IT! WE NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN! LIVE ON THE STREETS FOR ALL WE CARE! DON'T YOU DARE GO NEAR YOUR SISTERS EVER AGAIN! STOP RUINING LIVES! YOU'RE A HUGE WASTE OF SPACE AND THAT'S IT! YOU'RE A DISGRACE! WE WISH WE NEVER HAD YOU! WE HATE YOU AND YOU SHOULD HATE YOURSELF! GOODBYE!'

It shredded itself. I was in a daze after that. I slid down a wall, so I was sitting on the cold stone floor. I hugged my knees to my chest and started to cry. A pair of strong arms wrapped around me. I looked up to see Severus sitting there beside me, trying to comfort me.

"Did you hear?" I ask.

"Yeah. I'm so sorry, Emma. Come on. I'm going to go write to my parents," he says. He pulls me up, puts his arm around my shoulder, and leads me to the owlery. He removes his arm, sits down, and pulls out a quill and ink pot.

*Severus's POV*

I wrote:

'Dear Mum and Dad,

Emma's parents have kicked her out. She has always been my best friend and have always been there for me. We have admitted our feelings to each other and she is now my girlfriend, but we are taking things slow. I really don't want her living on the streets, so can she stay with us? It would mean a lot to me if you would.

Love,
Severus Tobias Snape

P. S.- I think she might be the one and only girl for me. Maybe after this school year or at least half way through, we might be engaged and on our way to get married. Who knows. We'll see.'

I put my ink and quill back, get up, call Rose, my barn owl, tie the letter to her leg, tell her "Eileen and Tobias Snape," and send her on her way. I went over to Emma and sat down. I pulled her down into my lap.

"I'm positive that they'll let you stay," I say.

"But what if they won't let me?" she asks.

"Then, I'll get us an apartment," I say, proud and confident. We sat there smiling at each other. We heard the late bell sounding. She starts panicking. She jump out of my lap and tries to gather our stuff up as quickly as she could. I wave my wand and everything was in our bags. I take my take getting off the floor. We grab our bags quickly, run out of the owlery, and head towards the castle as fast as we could. We finally made it to the castle and run through the halls of the dungeons to the potions classroom. We burst into the room, panting.

"Sorry, Professor Pince," we say simultaneously.

"I don't want to hear your excuses. 10 points from Slytherin. Just take your seats and open your book to the first page quickly," Professor Prince says coldly. (Picture of Professor Percival Prince is at the beginning of the page.) "I want everyone to read pages 1 to 5 and write a 10 inch long essay about the Love Potion. As for Mr. Snape and Ms. Evans, I want an extra 5 inches from each of you. Ms. Evans and Mr. Snape, you both will be in detention with me for the next week. Be here at 8 o'clock tomorrow night."

"Yes, sir," we mutter.

"Good. Now get to work," he sneers at the class. The class got to work quickly and quietly. It was quiet and uneventful for the rest of the class. Emma was first person done with the essay. I got done shortly after her. Then, Lily was finished followed by everyone else, except for James and Sirius. They were and still are no good at potions.

*Later On That Night*
*Severus's POV*

We just got into the Common Room after our detention with Pince and doing our Head Boy/Girl duties. It wasn't too bad for me since he's my uncle, but he gave Emma a very hard time, which made me mad. As soon Emma had been up in her dorm, working on getting ahead on our school work done and I sat in a green armchair in a corner in the Slytherin common room alone, thinking. What will come in the future? Will Emma and I last? Tap... Tap... Tap... It was coming from the window. I get up and go look out the window to see Rose carrying a small package and a letter. I open the window, she flies in, and perches herself on the green armchair I had been sitting in. I go over and take the letter and package. I sat the package aside and opened the letter to read:

'Dear son,

We are so happy. You have our blessing. Go ahead and open the package. It's for Emma when you propose to her. It has been in our family for generations. Here's the first of many heirlooms for you. When you have children and they are ready to propose to a girl, pass it on. Bring her home for Easter Break so we can meet her properly. We would love to have her stay here. We hope the two of you will have a happy life together.

Lots of love,
Mum and dad'

I open the box to see a small green box. I open the box to find a beautiful silver ring with emerald gems. The Prince Family's engagement ring is Slytherin based! That's so ironic!

I rush over to the Slytherin Girls’ Dormitory.

"Emma! Emma! Get down here! I gotta tell you something! It's important!" I yell up the dormitory stairs. Someone starts coming downstairs.

"What are you yelling about, Severus? It's 12 o'clock at night. You should be sleeping like I was," Emma yells at me.

"I got some great news to tell you and I got something to ask you," I smile.

"What is it?" she asks.

"My parents said that they want to meet you properly and they have invited us to go to their house for Easter Break. Do you want to go?" I ask, smiling.

"Is that what couldn't wait until in the morning?" she asks, clearly irritated at me. I let out a short, small chuckle. She glares at me.

"That and they said that you can stay at the Snape house," I smile. I rub my neck. "Sorry for waking you, but I just got so excited."

"Yeah. Okay. I mean it couldn't hurt. What could go wrong? And I'm glad you woke me up now. That's the best news of the century." she says. We both laugh. She flings herself into my arms.

"I'll let them know in the morning. While we're there, I'll take you to my favorite place. By the way, our family dresses up for meals, so you might want to get a casual dress. There's going to be an Easter Ball, too. Lucius and his family will be there, too," I say.

"Sounds like fun. Will you help me pick out the dresses?" she asks shyly. "I have the dress that was required for whatever is going on at school, but I think it's a little too fancy for the Easter Ball. I'll guess we'll find a dress soon enough."

"Of course. I'll do anything for you," I say.

"What's that?" she asks. She was pointing at the green box.

"You'll find out later. It's not important," I say. She gives me a disbelieving look. "I promise, Emma." She walks up to me. I put the green box in an inside pocket of my school robe. I wrap my arms around her waist and she wraps her arms around my neck. They slowly lean in and kiss. Pretty soon, it  becomes a complete snog session. They break apart to catch their breath. Emma pushes me towards the green couch. They fall back with Emma laying on top of me. They both start to laugh. I took out my wand and waved it, which made the couch bigger.

I turned us to where we are both laying on our sides, facing the fireplace, with Emma in front of me, and my arm wrapped around her stomach. I pull her as close as I can get her to me. I keep a firm, protective arm around her waist. We talk until we both fall asleep.
