Irish Melody

Severus sat on the edge of her bed, slowly and meticulously he put his shoes on, Isibeal was still laying back the sheets half drawn off her due to Severus\'s moving about. She never wanted him to leave her in the morning, yet she knew it was inevitable. Today was her first day off from the library, due to the lack of things she had to do. Slowly Isibeal crawled behind Severus wrapping her arms snuggly around his chest.

\"Good morning, Handsome.\" she kissed Severus on the cheek.

\"Good morning, Isibeal.\" he placed his hand over hers, still determined to put his shoes on.

\"Severus..\"

\"What?\"

\"Oh, nevermind.\"

\"No, what?\"

\"Well, it\'s actually quite silly, see. Last week, I went out into the forest because i heard cries, like that of some one in utter pain. So i found what was making the noise, i thought it was a man, but it had a dog or wolf like quality. The poor thing had a limb in it\'s side and i pulled it out, then sang it to sleep. The poor thing was in alot of pain, but i think i helped. Yet the following morning, when i was in the hallway. Professor Remus Lupin, was humming the exact same song i had sang to the wolf, and.. he was holding his side. Hah.. i knew this was a silly notion.\"

\"Not at all love, you\'re completely correct. Lupin is a werewolf, a damn stupid one though. Always forgetting to take his wolfsbane. Please though, the werewolf is terribly dangerous, do not go out into the woods again on a fully moon. Or actually, ever. Those woods themself are filled with danger. Alright, good day princess. I shall see you at lunch.\"

\"Goodbye Severus.\" She smiled, as soon as he was out the door, Isibeal dressed and made her way through the floo systems to Hogsmeade. She wanted to get somethign for Remus, to let him know that she still was his friend, no matter what he was. She scoured each of the shops, but to no avail. until she arrived at a small trinket store. there she found the most beautiful thing she could think of to give Remus. She quickly bought it, and had it gift wrapped. Back through the floo system she rushed through the halls, filled with smiles and giddiness. She waited in front of his classroom, where he was dismissing some 5 year students.

\"Why, hello Miss Isibeal. What do i owe the honour of your visit to?\" Remus walked back into the classroom, and took a seat at his desk.

\"The other day, I know why you were humming Danny Boy!\"

\"Oh really?\" He smiled ready to indulge everything she was smiling about.

\"The prior night in the forest, i encountered the werewolf. He was amazing, and very sweet. You had a huge limb in your side. I pulled it out and sang to you. That very song. so now you don\'t need to hide that fact. I know thats part of you! I totally respect the wolf! It\'s amazing, i\'ve never met a werewolf before. I wasn\'t scared though-\"

\"Isibeal, you must stay away from me on full moons. The werewolf isn\'t kind, he is vicious.\"

\"He was kind to me\"

\"You helped him, thats probably-\"

\"I think the wolf and myself share a common bound. We are both linked to the human world, but share a sense of completely carnal nature. just in different aspects.\"

\"Well, yes i am. It makes me very glad to hear you aren\'t afraid.\"

\"No, not at all. Now open up my gift!!\" She pushed it towards him on his desk, he fondled the package lightly, smiling at it.

\"What is it?\"

\"haven\'t you ever gotten a gift before? Just open it!\" Isibeal took a seat on his desk, letting her legs swing around to him, so she could lean in close.

\"Oh wow! It\'s beautiful.\" Remus took the small globe out into his hands, he let it light up gold and silver as it began to play \'Danny Boy\'. Isibeal closed her eyes and began to hum.

\"Thank you so much Isibeal, just promise you\'ll stay away from the forest next time.\"

\"Of course, good day to you kind sir.\"

\"Good day Isibeal.\" he smiled as she walked out still holding the ball in his hands. Isibeal was making her way down the hall, when she heard Professor Flitwick going on about floatation, in his charms class. she stood at the door and listened, she peaked inside and watched the first year children trying to make their feather\'s float. Flitwick noticed her at the door, and invited her inside.

\"Ahh, Miss McOugh, would you like to show these children a thing or two about this particular charm spell.\"

\"Thank you Professor Flitwick.\" Isibeal stood infront of a feather on a desk, and slowly using only her hands she was able to make the feather dance, and move. The children laughed and awe\'d at her feat. Then as she sent the feather flying around the room, in spirals they clapped, and gave a bit of an uproar. She slowly laid the feather back down, and curtsied.

\"Thank you again, Miss McOugh. That was wonderful, one day you shall make a spectacular Charms Master.\" Isibeal smiled and walked out of the classroom.

Her day had been going great, she was extradinarily happy, and wanted to go tell Severus right away. She made her way down the cold stone hallway of the dungeon, and quietly opened his classroom doors. Inside were 3rd year students, working on a Verbatum elixur. They were all Hufflepuffs, or Ravenclaws, and that made Isibeal smile, because looming at his desk was Severus looking quite upset that no one had messed up the potion. He did get so much joy out of letting the children swell with sadness. Yet when he looked up and saw Isibeal, take a seat in the back of his classroom. His happiness was described with something else, love. As he dismissed the class, they smiled and waved to their favorite librarian, as Isibeal made her way to Severus. He stood from his desk, and Isibeal took his hand in hers.

\"I\'m having the most amazing day, severus. I love you.\" Before he could answer she wrapped her arms around him, and let their lips mesh together. He pulled her in tight, placing his hands on her firm butt. She giggled and continued to kiss him passionately. Then they heard giggles and cat calls, coming from the back of the classroom. Severus looked up, and there was Malfoy, Potter, and their groups awaiting their lesson.

\"Yes, well thank you for the demostration of Resusitation without magic Professor Snape. I shall keep it in mind.\"

\"Yes, well good day Miss McOugh.\" Isibeal blushed, and tried to hide a giggle, as Severus gave his class stern looks.

\"Good day, Professor.\" She smiled and then quickly without anyone\'s notice she gave his hand a squeeze. As the students placed their heads down to write the new assignment written on the chalkboard. Isibeal turned and smiled at Severus, who mouther the words \'I love you\' to her. Was this all that her life was to be? She had hoped so, because then it would be perfect.
