A/N I am typing up Chapter 42. I think 42 will end the story... not too sure though. I want to write a sequel, and I think with the last couple of chapters, I should be able to push a 2nd story from this quite easily :)
Flandre-sama: I had to write a prank in here somewhere, and what better than the group talking about squaring up things. Severus was brilliant, so I had to award him a Master moment somewhere, lol. Wow, my story is a favorite of someone's. That's truely an honour... :o **bows* thank you :)
loisa: Soon...We're get there... soon :D
Jan: Omg.. if magic were real... I wouldn't be able to manage life. I am surrounded by pranksters. I know I would fall victim of that fingernail Hex. Which reminds me, I am a farmer on Hiatus, and believe me, you end up coming home smelling like shit often. I am not afraid to touch it... Just... don't stick your fingers in your mouth... PS: Have you thanked your local farmer today? LOL!

Chapter 38: Can't Stop This Feeling
"So?"
Audrey looked up from her hand of playing cards. Daisy was awaiting for her to answer the question she had just asked.
"Hmm?" Was all Audrey said, not all too willing to discuss the topic.
"Do you think he'd go out with me?"
Audrey shrugged. "Severus is..." she paused trying to think of a word that would describe his hesitance in going through a relationship. Insecure seemed fitting, but she wouldn't say that aloud. "I don't think he's too interested in dating anyone."
"All guys are interested in dating." Daisy said with a roll of her eyes.
"Trust me. We went to school together." Audrey reminded her. "Lily was his only love interest and well..." she pressed her lips together uneasily, remembering his time of moodiness from Lily's rejection.
When he let her, Audrey stuck around to help him through the worst moment in his life; when the love of his life chose the bully who made his school life a living hell. "He gave up after Lily."
"He liked Lily?"
"It was... so much more than like, Daisy. That man would had sacrificed his life for hers. Still would, I would bet. People don't believe that kids that age can fall in love. We often forget about the Romeo and Juliet story..."
Daisy nodded. "Last week, I heard on the news, that some sixteen year old boy hung himself because his girlfriend broke up with him."
"Really?" It was just too hard to imagine. "It's so hard to make them realize that there is life afterward." It took months for Audrey to get Severus to understand.
"Shows what being a fuckhole gets you!" Severus had hissed angrily before he tipped his desk over. "What is it with girls?! Why do you all fall for the jackasses?!"
Audrey had bit her lip, having had been guilty of the same at the time. "Sometimes... we can see a different side to them... Um.. perhaps to the public they are real jerks but in private they are... sweet and understanding..."
Severus had glanced at her. "Don't play me." He had muttered. "I know you and Black have been sneaking off into the 3rd floor's broom closet. The sex must be good; You're not the only one he takes there."
"Stop kidding yourself, Audrey." Daisy sniggered. "Just ask him out already."
Audrey picked up the discard pile. She hadn't really planned to do it but knew it would create a distraction to her friend.
Daisy crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows. "You picked up 62 points of discards just to lay down 20?"
"I'm... saving them for later." Audrey said, blushing.
Daisy ended the hand on her next turn, grinning smugly.
Audrey sighed and tossed her hand of cards into the pile at the center of the table.
"I have never seen you play so awfully." Daisy teased with a tisk.
"I am usually a card shark." Audrey admitted.
"Your thoughts are too much on a certain wizard." Daisy summarized.
"It doesn't matter." Audrey said, sorting through the cards to turn them all back face down. "He's not interested in anyone. Severus will be one of those guys that never marries and becomes the town's main rumor of having killed his nonexistant family with an axe; all the kids will fear that if they step on his grass, they'll get sucked into it and get buried alive... Or something along those lines anyway."
Daisy burst out laughing. "You think so? I don't. Not if he continues to latch onto the kids like he has done. He's excellent with them."
"Well that's where the happy ending comes in; The town's children learn that he throws the best parties, gives the best Christmas presents, and bakes the best cookies."
"He bakes?"
Audrey giggled. "Yeah... He's a great cook. He'd be a chef, I would think, if he were a Muggle."
"Could be why he is a Potions Master."
Audrey nodded. "Exactly why."

Severus was going crazy. All he could think of was her. Not just her lips either.
He thought about her long, blond hair and how it would often frizz up throughout the day. He had left a potion in her bath component to help along with that, but, like his own hair, nothing seemed to get rid of the nuisance completely. He was beginning to like how it could stand on end from the static.
He couldn't stop thinking about the way she smiled at him. The smile that could wash away any and all sense of his mind. He had even come near to kissing her two times in the past three days.
Her delicate hands. Her elegant walk that her upbringing had taught her and had not faltered even after all the time she had spent away from the strict laws of her family.
The way she mothered Andrew and Langston. Her loving and nurturing personality. Her competetive nature.
He was hopeless.
Severus was losing his control. He couldn't lose control. He was a calm, cool, and collected man, and he didn't want that to go away.
"Shit!" Severus muttered, quickly turning down the flame of his over boiling brew. A foul odor instantly filled the air.
"Ugh!" Lily came in then, wrinkling her nose in disgust. "What happened?!" She cast a room freshing spell, eliminating the burnt mushroom smell.
"Uh..." Severus didn't want to admit that he had been too engrossed in his thoughts that he hadn't been paying attention. Last time he messed up on a potion it had been from the scent of Lily's hair in 5th year...
"Lily..."
"Yes?" She was occupied with cleaning up the mess he had made.
"I may need to take a few days off..."
She turned to look at him. The corner of her mouth twitched as she tried not to grin. "Whatever for, Sev?" She asked innocently.
Severus sighed. "I am not up to it right now. Is that alright?"
"Of course it is." She couldn't hide her grin anymore.
"What?" He asked.
"Nothing." She sung out.
"No, you tell me." He insisted. "Else I am not leaving until you do."
"Sev... don't think I that do not know that look when I see it. You've been all spacey for over two weeks now."
"What look?" He was clueless.
"Lovestruck." Lily giggled. "Severus... Hon, you're in love."
