I do hope it’ll be something interesting like that. Not something like a preying mantis or a puppy.” He chuckled, essentially just revealing his plan that he had been working on since their night three weeks ago – that he had all the ingredients ready to go and was starting on the process and mapping it all out.
“Well, this Severus Snape here has nothing to lose anymore. First Lily distracted me, and I put all my eggs into the basket of being happy with her. Then that broke in our fifth year, sixth year of grief, and then my parents died.” He sighed and shook his head. “Now that we’re graduated, this is the first time I’ve really gotten without the grief of something happening in my life that completely crushes everything I am.” He chuckles lightly and rubs the back of his head with a shy sort of look at the ground and his feet.
“There’s only one other person who’s done that, so you really must be special, Rose,” He grinned leaning a bit against her while they walked. Soon they came to a very close restaurant, ‘Bianchi’s’ was the name. He led her inside, where there was a little diner, quaint, with few people. A slightly overweight man came bustling towards them.
“Ah, yes it is you Severus!”
“Mr. Bianchi.” Severus nodded.
“Table for two today, hm? Finally got yourself a girlfriend, yes?’
“Ah ha, no, we’re just friends. But I’ll be paying, so put it on one ticket.” The man nodded and handed them two menus and led them to a booth in a corner away from people. When he took drink orders, Severus ordered a water. After taking Rose’s drink order, he left. “As you can probably tell, I come here somewhat often. Mr. Bianchi is the owner, been in his family for a while now.” He took her hand and kissed her knuckles. “So tell me, who is Rose Lupin? What would you do if there were no limitations on you right now? Your deepest desire – disregarding any ‘can’ts’.”

[googlefont=Dancing Script] Soon comes the cold, and the night that never ends.
Her brows flew into her hair.
He was working on an animagus form too?
Now she knew something was up.
"But... a puppy would be cute," she smirks at him. "But definitely not Severus Snape."
She seemed to withdraw into a daydream. "It'd be amusing if it was a wolf though. You are very wolflike."
She winks at him.
"I'm here for you, Severus, you know. I don't want you to be alone. Being alone with emotions is the worst."
She leans against him as well, her arm going around his waist to hold herself snugly there, but they were soon at the restaurant. They were greeted by what he soon informed her was the owner and they were sat at a table.
"I definitely can tell that. Got an appetite for Italian it seems. Duly noted."
She winked but her eyes were drawn to the hand her brought to his lips. She threaded her fingers with his, exhaling lightly.
She pondered his question, looking at him with dark eyes. "No limitations? My deepest desire? Disregarding any cants?"
Had she been asked this? Directly? No, she doesn't think so. It became even more apparent how Regulus was steering conversations under the mask of asking what she wanted.
She blinked once, squeezed his hand, and looked down at the table, and answered rather honestly. "My brother back in my life."

[googlefont=Montserrat:700,700i|Open+Sans:400,400i,700] [attr="class","angelonfire"] [attr="class","aofSidebar"] [attr="class","aofBody"] A wolf? He grinned and shook his head. “I, for one, doubt that. I’m not quite so open about things. If anything in that sort of family… maybe a fox. I’d like to think I’m sneaky.” He took her hand and kissed her knuckles.
“Well, I’ve been alone with them for awhile now. Even before I never really opened up around Lily. I’m sure she heard about my parents, given she lives not far from here.” He sighed looking off as if deep in thought. He smiled for a moment, thinking about when he met her – when his mum told him to go out and play with the kids, but he protested saying he didn’t like any of them. But then he saw Lily and saw the magic in her.
“Not really Italian, it’s more nostalgia. My mum took me here and taught me all about magic. We were away from my father and I’m pretty sure the muggles think she was into something called ‘Wicca’.” He sighed looking off again, memories flowing in. He remembered he was so excited – but he was also told that he couldn’t use it when his father was around. He would play all the time when no one was watching – or just Lily or his mother. He hadn’t a wand, but he wasn’t bad at magic before going to school. That and he found his mother’s hidden school books and he was incredibly excited. Slytherin – he got the house he wanted, the house his mother had been in. That was why he wanted to be in Slytherin, having been told stories from her Hogwarts years sitting here at this exact table.
He tilted his head. Her brother? Biting his lower lip, a look of sadness appeared on his face. Not worry, or pity, but genuine sadness. “I can… understand that. Well, a bit. I know how it feels to lose someone you love, a best friend, a part of your family. I hope it all works out, and if you ever need something to accomplish that goal, I’ll help you with it.”

[googlefont=Dancing Script] Soon comes the cold, and the night that never ends.
She seemed to think about it. "Oh, a fox would suit you too. Sly and sneaky indeed."
Ah? Evans' place was around here, was it? Still... She brought his hand up to her cheek and she smiled. "Still. Doesn't mean you have to be alone with them. And I'm not asking you to exactly open up to me, though.. maybe, in time. But, my goal... for now... is just to be someone for you to lean on when you need it."
And she supposes she was already doing that. He had called upon her for a reason. Showed her his mother's grave.
...And now he was talking about her.
Yes, he definitely did not want to be alone with his feelings.
She gripped his hand, it still being pressed against her cheek, and she turned her head, to press her lips against his hand.
"Wicca," she grinned. "I'm sure at eleven it was still all pretty exciting either way.
Her smile is soft. "I'm... not sure what that would be. But thank you. I'll be sure to contact you."
She sighs, shrugging slightly. "I think it hurts more now because the anger has diminished. I'm just sad now. Sad how we treated each other."

Likely I’ll have to register, but that’s not a big deal. It’ll cost a bit of money to register, but rather than possibly get in trouble and thrown into jail for something like that.”
Someone to lean on? It was difficult for him to really depend on others. His father taught him to shut up. The whole community taught him to shut up as well. He bottled up his feelings and yet here was someone who was willing to be there. How long until someone ripped her away too? “I appreciate it…” He didn’t say much more about that. While he didn’t want to be alone with his feelings, he just… really hated people in general, and was scared to lose people.
He looked out a nearby window and then back towards her, leaning a bit towards her, his posture open, a wistful look. “Oh very much so. I was so excited. Lily and I were looking forward to it for a long time. We talked all the time about Hogwarts. My mum told such amazing stories – like there’s supposed to be a chamber below the school that Salazar Slytherin crafted and hid away. It was all so amazing. And then I met Potter and Black.” He sighed and shrugged a bit.
Pursing his lips, he took her hand and squeezed it reassuringly. “I… think that if you give it a little time, things will get better. He’s family, and he loved you before at least. Love doesn’t fade. He loves you now, I’m sure of it. The two of you… perhaps should have a talk.”

[googlefont=Dancing Script] Soon comes the cold, and the night that never ends.
She nods, "it's best to do that."
She gives him a wry smile. "I'm not even registered. A werewolf that is. My father was too embarrassed to admit the fact. Though... given how the ministry is after me... I think something might have changed." She pursed her lips. "Or it might just be this war people keep mentioning."
And that was something that worried her being a werewolf. She knew she would be expected to choose a side. Ugh.
"A secret chamber? A chamber of secrets? Below the school? What do you think that was kept in there?"
His mother sounded lovely. Another regret because she had just kept to herself. If she had made friends quicker. Ugh.
"I'm hoping that'll be the case."
She smiles. "I'll try to think of a way, cause I think if I just go straight up to him I'll have more problems. He's Dumbledore's favorite yanno?"

[googlefont=Montserrat:700,700i|Open+Sans:400,400i,700] [attr="class","angelonfire"] [attr="class","aofSidebar"] [attr="class","aofBody"] “That’s different. The… registry for people like you… well you have a lot more restrictions. Animagus just need to know so you can’t hide out as the animal if they needed to find you.” He smiled taking her hand and squeezing it. Soon Mr. Bianchi appeared and asked for their order. Severus told him they needed another minute and gave Rose a smile.
“Do you know what you want? My favorite is a sampler platter, it has a small serving of lasagna, spaghetti, and some alfredo. Though the spaghetti with meatballs had these giant meatballs. It’s like ‘do you want a little spaghetti with your meatballs?’” He chuckles and picks up the menu thumbing through it. “When I was real little, Mum would get the spaghetti and give me the meatballs. If you want something chicken, get the fettucine. Tomato and beef spaghetti, and tomato and cheesy the lasagna.”
After explaining what he thought of the menu and a couple of the items, he thought a bit about the chamber his mother told him about. “Apparently it was opened when my Mum was in her third year. A girl died I heard. They arrested someone, but it was never proven. However once the guy was arrested, the attacks stopped so at least there’s that.” He shrugged. He was pretty sure it happened two years after she graduated – at some point when Voldemort himself attended school. He wondered for a moment if it could’ve been him who did it. His mum knew Voldemort before his rise – three years his senior. She was even fairly close with him. It was one of the things he found so attractive about Voldemort’s side of things as well – his mother liked the guy. Then again, his mother liked his father, so it really depended.
“Ah, yes, of course. I heard they’re looking for werewolf packs. I think Dumbledore is going to try to persuade them to join him – which is laughable seeing as Fenrir is already in the Dark Lord’s pocket. Perhaps he thinks if he shows them he has someone one their side like them, some might leave the packs and join them instead.”

[googlefont=Dancing Script] Soon comes the cold, and the night that never ends.
She shrugs. "If I register for one, might as well register for the other. I'd rather not step foot in there, at least until..."
My father can't get to me, she wanted to finish.
She pondered over the options. Everything sounded lovely and it occurred to her that she was really hungry. "I'll have the sampler since it's your favourite, it's got to be good, right?"
She grins at him.
"Who would've known there would be something do dangerous in the school that they advertise as the safest places in Scotland." Rose giggled at this. "Next thing you know they'll let a werewolf teach there."
She grinned. "Wouldn't that be funny, though? I think I'd like to teach at Hogwarts. My NEWTS were decent enough. Maybe Charms or Transfiguration."
She seemed to think on this a moment.
"If werewolves could hold a job like that. Though... I think... if I had the means to do so... I'd form an organization that would help other werewolves."
Her lips pursed as he explained about what Dumbledore was doing. So Dumbledore was basically having him do what her father had them doing.... just not putting them into Azkaban. Ha.
"And what are they offering them? To try to break away from Fenrir's reign?"
Her eyes hardened slightly. "Is Dumbledore offering opportunties for jobs? So that we might be able to support ourselves? Our familes? Acess to the aid we need?"

[googlefont=Montserrat:700,700i|Open+Sans:400,400i,700] [attr="class","angelonfire"] [attr="class","aofSidebar"] [attr="class","aofBody"] He nods, not pressing her to complete the sentence. He heard a lot of things about her father, and he was sure he wasn’t any better in private at home. He was pretty sure that it sucked just as much as it sucked for him – but his father couldn’t get him anymore, unlike hers who might possibly be able to get her.
“Sounds good. A little bit of everything.” He waved the man over and gave the order and the man bustled off with a jolly sort of chuckle. Soon a plate of breadsticks was brought out. “Bottomless breadsticks.” He took one and took a small bite out of it with a grin on his face.
He raised an eyebrow. Her a professor? That was almost as ridiculous as him being a professor but given the job he might possibly go to take… well it wasn’t that farfetched. “You’d have to convince McGonagall or Flitwick to retire. That might take some doing.” He squeezed her hand again as she mentioned an organization that would help werewolves. While he was not very much for a general acceptance of werewolves, the good ones did deserve help. But he would not want to offer the help to those bad ones who attacked for sport. “An organization. That… might be interesting to see how it went, given how… much the general populace hates people like you. But it would do some good to change their perspective.”
He sighed and looked at her with a small worried sort of look. “I don’t know what he’s offering. That’s all I know.”

[googlefont=Dancing Script] Soon comes the cold, and the night that never ends.
She nods, agreeing. "I didn't eat well before I changed. Which... just never works out well for me. I've neem negligent on a lot of things, which I told myself I'd be better at. Needed myself to be better at. I need a system of alarms to remind me."
She laughs lightly.
"I suppose I would have to, they'd never go for that. Plus to take over for McGonagall, does that mean I would have to take over her head of house position too?"
She made a face that obviously said she didn't like the idea of that.
But then she grinned. "Not that I'm prejudiced or anything."
A laugh.
"That's what I'm thinking! It would be a lot of work, though, and I don't really have the support system to get it off the ground sadly."
She frowned and shook her head. "Probably nothing."
A sigh.

[googlefont=Montserrat:700,700i|Open+Sans:400,400i,700] [attr="class","angelonfire"] [attr="class","aofSidebar"] [attr="class","aofBody"] He smiled. “Well I can’t say much. I don’t eat very much myself. Don’t usually feel like eating much. However, you can be assured that if we hang out, I’ll treat you, so you needn’t worry about making sure to eat… At least on those days.”
He blinked a bit. Hold on. He didn’t think about that. That would mean that Slughorn – Slughorn, when he retired and gave his position up – He, Severus Snape, would be the head of Slytherin house. That was… honestly amazing. How could Dumbledore think that well of him? Or perhaps he was planning on giving that to some other teacher later, but… it honestly made him a bit excited. That would also mean he needed to do some research on Quidditch… “I suppose… so. I mean, I bet if there was another senior professor who was actually in Gryffindor, they’d get it. But… well, I guess that’d mean I’d be Head of Slytherin.”
She didn’t have the support system, hm? Severus thought for a few moments. Yes. He had a plan already formulated in his head. Perfect. She would be so happy with him too. Even if he could never have her in the way he wanted, at least he could make her happy. He could live on his professor wages – and even less because his meals would be given to him at the school, his board taken care of… his entire paycheck could be saved. If he asked for 1250 a month – which would be about 250 galleons less than a regular professor, that would be about 7,000 in the muggle British currency. He could do a lot with that kind of money. Yep, he was definitely going to Dumbledore and asking for it.
“Tell me exactly what you would need to start it.” He looked at her seriously. “Draw up plans. I won’t give you what you need unless you convince me you have the plans. It will be a purely professional decision. With the salary of being a trainee professor, I have quite a bit of savings – enough to last several years, and then those paychecks will be… essentially not used. I think it would be interesting to find something to invest in, don’t you agree?”
He sighed and shook his head. “If you want something done, you’ll have to do it yourself, hm? I don’t… particularly like werewolves in general, and I wouldn’t want rights to go to those like Fenrir, but people like you? If they prove themselves to protect others from themselves and not to go out and hurt others, then they deserve to be treated and helped just like anyone else.
"I'll send a letter to Reg, I don't know how he'd react if you told him about me. So don't worry, next Saturday, we'll meet up just as planned but I'll tell him about it."

Her eyes rounded slightly.
"Severus! Well, I'll make sure you eat on those days too."
She grinned at him, with a wink. "Call it our feasting days."
She nods. "Can't think of anyone. So I'd be stuck with the sods."
She giggles, shaking her head. "I mean, if I were teaching, I suppose."
He went quiet for a moment, and she rose a brow and when he spoke, she smiled. "I see, that's what you were scheming. I could see it in your eyes."
She reached out again for his hand. "You don't have to do this, you know. I... I'm not worth the trouble."
She nodded. "There are people... other werewolves... that are like me but trapped by Fenrir. And I just really want to help them. Show them there are people who do care - and society and fuck itself."
She snickers, "don't like werewolves? Now... what can I do to convince you otherwise?" Her brow waggles at him.
"Mm, I was just thinking about that. He... is very uh, particular."

I’ll just pen them into my schedule.” He grinned from ear to ear and shook his head. “Well, if Dumbledore allowed two to go to Hogwarts, why wouldn’t he let one teach? It’s just as much danger.” He shrugged. Honestly, he could see why he wouldn’t let a werewolf teach – but also why he shouldn’t let werewolves go to school even. But there were supports in place from her and her brother, so why let them go to waste?
He gave her an even look and frowned a bit. “That’s for me to determine. Like I said, purely professional. I’ll be making money, more than I really need, so why not invest in something? Especially a something that would work towards a goal I support. I know how it feels to be trapped into following someone. I don’t want anyone to have to feel that way. Even Potter shouldn’t.” Because she was right, there were people who were trapped by Fenrir, and there was no where else for them to go. He understood how that felt. He almost felt like he had to join the Dark Lord because the other side was full of people he hated and whom hated him – and he couldn’t support a ministry that just stood by while people were hurt – like him or Rose.
Finally he grinned as she waggled her eyebrows at him. “Well, I can think of a lot of things you could do~” He paused and then quickly shook his head. “Sorry, I know you’re in a relationship. Ever since Black nearly killed me, I’ve been afraid of wolves in general. A blinding, jarring fear I’ve been trying to break.”
“Not a problem, I’ll just send him the time and date and we’ll all meet up there.”

She grins and nods at the thought of regular meetings. She couldn't wait.
"Dumbledore is funny sometimes... sometimes I wonder if he does things to get people to do stuff for him. I doubt he'd help me. I didn't much fall for his ways. I don't trust him one bit. Especially now that you told me he's gotta Remus going to packs. Our father used to have him do that, but to send them to Azkaban."
She pursed her lips. "Azkaban, forcing them to fight anyway... not much difference."
She chuckled, "'even Potter shouldn't' you say. Potter couldn't feel trapped even if you put him in a cupboard under some stairs!"
A snicker and she rose her brows with a grin.
"Well. I'm nothing to worry about, really. I've got my wolf tamer than Remus' believe it or not. It took a lot of work, but... "
She nodded. "Sounds good to me."

Sure, they were dangerous, yes, he agreed with that. But at least do it yourself, instead of using a kid against his own people. That was just cruel. He hated their father more and more… and he almost felt bad for Lupin. Maybe that was why he stood back – because he saw what happened when he was forced to fight against people like him, afraid he’d end up hurting them if he took a side against them. Either way, he still hated that he was just fine with all of it, at least seemingly fine.
“You have a point, but my point still stands. No one deserves to feel trapped into one choice, one side, they should be able to pick what they do with their own lives.” He looked to the side for a moment and his left arm slightly tightened before relaxing. “You come to terms with that other part of you? Instead of fighting it? I think everyone has that battle inside of them. You and your wolf, me and my muggle side. Some run, some fight, and some try to come to an agreement.” After all, he was the Half-Blood Prince, he accepted he wasn’t a pureblood like a lot of the others. But he was a prince. He was royalty, he was worth something. He was powerful and just as good as purebloods.
“Anyways, yeah, if you draw up a detailed plan, I’ll look at it and consider investing.”
