The Hard Way

Usual Disclaimer. I own Bridget, Jagger and the other OCs, as well as the plot, but nothing else.

A/N: Thanks to my reviewers, y\'all are great. Well several things have happened that have stopped me from updating this. The main one is that my computer had a virus and had to be reformatted thus, EVERYTHING was lost. It sucked.

Chapter 6: The Hard Way

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Several days later, Bridget had become settled in Severus\' chambers. Jack the Hamilton pup was sitting by the fireplace, warming himself. A bald man\'s face appeared suddenly in the fireplace. Jack ran and hid behind Severus\' chair, whimpering. Severus looked up from his grading to notice the man, it was Mr. Caelan, from what he remembered of him.

\"Where is she?\" The bald man questioned.

\"She is here, Mr Caelan. Let me get her.\" Severus answered before walking out of his study, into his chambers to find Bridget. \"Bridget, your father would like a word with you.\"

\"My father? How does he know I am here?\"

\"I don\'t know but he looks furious.\" Severus led her into his study where the bald man kept glaring at him. \"She is right here, sir.\"

\"Dad? How did you know I was here?\"

\"Ah, good question, maybe because this lovely article just came out in Witch Weekly. After I read it, I knew exactly where to find you.\"

\"What article? I didn\'t authorize an article.\"

\"You didn\'t?\"

\"No, I most certainly did not. Are there pictures?\"

\"Yes, several in fact. There is one of you holding a puppy and then HIM holding the same puppy. Finally, the one that tops all of them is one of you and HIM hand in hand!\" Mr. Caelan put a certain emphasis on \'him\' to make sure that Severus heard his disgust.

\"Shit, I didn\'t want the press involved in this, crap.\" Bridget shook her head before stamping her foot in rage. Severus tried to act like he was grading essays but was failing.

\"You know that you are going to have to answer to the press now. They are claiming that you and him are an item now and will be leaving the business.\"

\"Well, for once, the press is actually right in something. We are an \'item\' as you like to call it. Also, I am done with the pop and country scene.\"

\"Damn it all, Bridget. I knew that you would just up and leave one day but this is crap, you know that? Y\'all are probably living together, sleeping together, and doing Lord knows what else together.\" Bridget blushed at her father\'s comment. Her father turned toward Severus, \"You, boy, I swear if you do anything to her in ANY way, I promise you, I will hex you to next week then allow the entire family a turn to cast the curse of their choice on you. You understand?\"

Severus looked at Mr. Caelan\'s sterm and serious face, he meant every single word he said. \"Yes, sir, I understand. I won\'t harm her in any way, you have my word.\"

\"Bridget, I love you, come and see me soon. I need to have a word with this boy here.\"

\"Ok, dad, I love you too.\" Bridget left Severus alone with her father. Bridget picked up Jack and carried him into the other room.

\"Do you mind if I come over, so we can chat?\" Mr. Caelan questioned Severus.

\"I don\'t mind at all, sir.\" Mr. Caelan popped out of Severus\' fireplace and stood to his full hieght. He was a tall heavy set man, that would bring anybody to their knees. He looked like the type that had spent too much time doing manual labor. Mr. Caelan was a good 3 inches taller than Severus and tan. He was also a good 80 pounds heavier than Severus. Mr. Caelan could have been the correct body type for a decent night club bouncer.

\"Ah, Severus.\" Mr. Caelan extended his hand and Severus shook it kindly. \"I am not going to beat around the bush here, it isn\'t my style. Bridget told me about your mark.\"

Severus tensed and nodded, \"Yes, I have explained everything to her. It is now up to her whether she is to inform you of the details about it.\"

\"I also, don\'t pretend to know that you are wealthy and don\'t need to be teaching. There is more behind it, I am just sure of it. I will find out the real story behind it. You seem respectable enough and I trust my daughter\'s judgement but know this, Bridget is my only daughter, she is my life, I will always make sure that she is being well taken care of.\"

\"I understand fully, sir.\"

\"Good, now where is that pup I saw in those pictures? Oh, here.\" Mr. Caelan handed Severus the article, which had been hastily cut out of the magazine.

\"Wait right here, I\'ll get him, if I can get him away from Bridget.\" Severus opened up the door to his chambers and saw Bridget and Jack playing on the floor. \"Your father wants to see Jack.\"

\"Ok.\" Bridget scooped up Jack in her arms. Jack attempted to gnaw on Bridget\'s nose as they walked through the door to Snape\'s study. Bridget placed him on the floor without noticing that her father was standing in front of her. She glanced up and smiled at him, before giving him a big hug and a kiss.

Mr. Caelan knelt down to the pup and Jack came running towards him. He played with him as Severus and Bridget looked on. Mr Caelan stayed not much longer, he left and said his goodbyes to his daughter and Severus, who he stil called \'him and boy\'.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

\"No way!! Hermione, there is no way that is Snape!\" Ron yelled as Hermione showed him an article from Witch Weekly, that she had found on the table in the Gryffindor common room.

Harry peered over Hermione\'s shoulder. \"You know, Ron, it does look like Snape but it can\'t be. That is the woman from Hogsmeade, you know, the one signing the autographs.\"

\"See Hermione, there is no way that it can be Professor Snape. I mean come on, how can that slimy git manage to snag a music producer?\"

Hermione read the article and her face became twisted into different expressions, from disbelief to shock. \"It is Snape, the article mentions him by name. Also, it states that they are living together. Where, it doesn\'t say. Also that she is leaving the business.\"

\"A woman would leave their job just to be with Professor Snape, I don\'t believe it.\" Ron said while shaking his head. \"Harry, we could use the Maurader\'s Map to find out for sure.\" Harry nodded and retrieved the map. They looked until they found what they were searching for, Snape\'s chambers. Sure enough there were two names \"Severus Snape and Bridget Caelan.\"
