(YAY, Wifi! THIS CHAPTER WILL BE EDITED SOON. Did you guys expect me to continue the last chapter? 😅Sorry --Author)

<><><><><><><><><><>

>TIME SKIP<
While I was reading my Potions Book, I heard something in the other room across mine. Gently placing the book down, I pranced towards the door, and leaned my ear towards it.

A noise camee from behind the door. Wait, was that... Severus? I tried so hard to stiffen a laugh...

when I had to sneeze SO bad.

"Please don't.... Please don't..." I prayed quietly to myself..... but fate was taking a wrong turn. "Acheeu!"

My silent sneeze was louder than I thought, after I realized footsteps were getting louder as someone approached. Unfortunately, I panicked, and was too late when Severus slammed the door open.

"Scarlet, anything?"

I smirked, then I walked to the couch and let myself fall. "You know you shouldn't enter at this time. I drank quarter of a bottle, already." he told me, as he hid one of the empty wine bottles.

"You and your wine addict will never end. You should stop, you know that. The Ministry doesn't allow these things."

"I don't care about anything the damn Ministry has to say." he replied, as I stood up. "Where're you going?" he asked. "To the common room." I told him, opening the door. "You shouldn't go there too often. You don't know what might grab you in unsuspected corners."

"Wait... Is Professor Snape caring I would get hurt again?" I teased, and tilted my head. "When you're away, I'll always care. Always."

>THIRD PERSON<

"I'll see you, Sev!" Scarlet's voice echoed throughout the dungeon halls, as she ran to the Gryffindor common room. The portrait door swung open, to reveal Arabella, a gryffindor her year, who gestured her to come in. (Remember her?😉)

"It's Lyanna, come in." she whispered in Scarlet's ear. They both pranced to the girl's dormitory, and saw Lyanna across her bed, sobbing. "Wassup, with her?" she asked. "A wizard -" Arabella answered, but Lyanna finished her sentence.

"A wizard asked me out!"

Scarlet tilted her head in confusion. "So whats the problem-o?" she asked curiously. The same second, Ginny came in, and placed a hand on her shoulder. "It's in 3 hours, today."

In a split second, Scarlet quickly pulled the two by the collars and huddled up, as Lyanna watched them. "Alright, ladies. It is up to us to make our bestfrind's first date special, so let's do this.

"Arabella, you pick the dress. Ginny, hand a bit of advice while you sit down with her. As for me, I'm on hair and make-up. Clear as a crystal?"

"Yep!"

Like lightning, Scarlet grabbed Lyanna by the shoulder and pulled her to the chair in front of a mirror. Arabella sped to her trunk, pulling out multiple dresses, and was murmuring some things to herself like: "This one? Nah." "That's too flashy." "Too... Corny."

And Ginny was handing out some advice of what she learned after her first date with Harry. "Just... Relax. If you look & seem tense, then the guy will be, too."

Lyanna was just bewildered, and stared around them. "Why are you guys doing this for me?" she asked. "If this is your first date, then it needs to be special. Come on, now close your eyes."

• • •

"And... she's... done!" Scarlet gasped, and collapsed to the floor. "Lemme' see!" girls from Gryffindor exclaimed, as they looked at Lyanna. She was wearing a bright yellow dress, and carried a red purse. "Let the girl breath, people! Breath!" Arabella shouted, as another girl admired her hair. "Scarlet, 4 minutes." Ginny whispered, as no one was budging. "I'll handle this." Scarlet replied.

She cleared her throat, and narrowed her eyes. "I will count to three! There will be no four! And all of you will be out of this dorm, in 1... 2...!" she boomed deadly.

It was still two, and girls were screaming, and running out of the dorm. "Thanks, Scarlet." Lyanna said, and hugged her bestfriend. "Wow, did I do a good job!" she joked, and walked with her to the common room. Every wizard eyed Lyanna like she was a princess, making Scarlet grin to herself. "I'll see you guys, after?" she whispered. "Yeah. See you at dinner."

"Good luck!" the trio chanted.

The split second Lyanna stepped out of the common room, Arabella, Ginny, and Scarlet sank down to the floor, slowly & tiredly. "We did a good job guys."

"Besides, who was her date anyway?" Scarlet asked confusingly.

"That wizard, Ford Morgan. They say he's pretty hot, but I think he just uses a Beautification Potion everyday." Arabella said, and wiped a drop of sweat away from her face.

Later, the three caught up with Xander and Jackson, who was dying to ask questions of Princess Lyanna (Remember Arabella and Jackson, now?). "She looks flipping awesome!" Xander complimented, and high-fived Scarlet. "Thanks."

But Scarlet was confused as other wizards were obviously trying to attract her attention. "Whats happening?" Scarlet asked Arabella. "Oh, rumors around say, they fancy you." she replied, giggling slightly. "Me?" Scarlet asked in disbelief. Arabella laughed more, when a guy pretended to yawn, and ripped his shirt apart. "Sod off." Xander told him angrily. "Aw, is Mr. Smith protective of his little wolf pup?" Arabella whispered playfully. "Shut up, Arabella."

Scarlet was now bored, and couldn't help anymore, but rise up and play along. Fine. Let's do this. "Hello, boys." she greeted seductively, running a finger upwards a wizard's chest. He wrapped his arm around her waist, but she gritted her teeth. "Don't."

A wizard went up to her, and eyed her up & down carefully. "Are you fire?" He asked. Scarlet tilted her head, and decided to go with the pick-up line. "Why?" she asked, arching an eyebrow. " 'Cause I think you're smokin' hot." he told her, making Xander, who was drinking Butterbeer, choke. Idiot. Scarlet thought, and rolled her eyes.

Alright, darling. You play with fire, you get burned.

"Hey, are you water?" she asked, placing her hands on her hips. "Why? Is it because you need 8 of me everday?" the guy asked, looking at the others, thinking he won her. "No. 'Cause I can't wait for you to evaporate." she replied and pushed his chest slightly, causing him to back away. She walked back to Xander who was now laughing like a lunatic. "BURN!" Xander yelled at the guys. The wizard earlier felt embarresed and walked away scratching his head. "I'm proud of you, little wolf pup," he told her, fist-bumping her hand. "Thanks."

"Miss Carter?" a voice whispered. Scarlet turned around to see an owl, holding a tiny note attached to it's leg. "Lily?" she asked, referring to the bird's name. The owl surprisingly nodded, and used it's talons to rip off the note it was carrying. It flew to the window, leaving Xander confused. "What the fudge, just happened."

Scarlet picked up the note and read to herself. I need to talk to you in my chambers. Now. --SS It said. "Who's that from?" asked Xander, trying to grab it from her. "Sev- I mean- Professor Snape's calling me." Xander cringed at the nickname, making Scarlet roll her eyes.

"But you promise you're going to help me with our Muggle Studies essay! Besides, whats the greasy git want to do with you anyways?"

"Don't," Scarlet muttered, swatting his arm once."Call him," she swatted twice. "A greasy," thrice. "Git!!"

"Alright! Sorry!" Xander shouted in surrender, and held his hands to his head. "Wait, didn't you tell the idiot you're in a relationship?" Xander gasped, "Tell me with who."

"If I'll tell you, then my words will probably kill you."

"Not fair! I told you who I've been dating with!"

"No, Xander, darling, no. 1) You didn't tell me for a year. 2) I figured it out all by myself. 3) You had to explain it all to me without barfing." she told him, as she ticked each one of with her fingers. "Please?" he requested, doing the puppy-dog eyes. "No."

"Wait... Wait... I get it!"

Scarlet's eyes widened.

"You said, that you didn't want to leave Snape's chambers! And then you call him by his first name or that ghastly nickname! Plus, you're pretty attentive in Potions, and the fact that you don't mind having detention! I've finally figured it all out!" Xander exclaimed, and did a little jig. "Oh God, please don't -!" she looked around, which luckily, the common room was empty.

"SCARLET'S DATING SNAPE!"

Scarlet quickly grabbed Xander by the mouth & tackled him to the ground. "You. Idiot. Cut. It. Off!" she shouted, as Xander laughed. She pinned him to the wall, and pointed her wand to his throat. "I swear, Xander, one more word out of that mouth about my private things, and my words will be the last you'll ever hear."

He gulped nervously, and ran a hand through his throat like a knife. "Sorry."

She dropped him down, and opened the portrait door. "I'll see you."
