- Chapter 27 -

"What were you thinking?" Severus says the minute we step into his office. The room is as cold as ever and an eerie silence is hanging over the dungeons. The dungeons are mostly deserted, a few Slytherins are left but they keep mostly to the common room. The exams are taking their toll on everybody. The dungeons give off a very strange vibe, but I like it. Having to live in it for 7 years does change your opinions on the matter. Or I'm just different, also a possibility.

I take a seat on Severus' desk, facing the door. He looks pretty angry, but how can he blame me? That Malfoy boy is just horrible, and I know he favors him but still. He has got to see why I did it right, or else he really is blind. I give him an uninterested look to show him that I don't care what he thinks. He should've just let me punch him.

"I was thinking that the Malfoy kid deserved a nose job, and I was happy to help with that," I answer.

He sighs and starts pacing the room. For a moment he says nothing, probably thinking about what to do with me. After a while, he suddenly stops though and looks at me.

"You really are impossible you know that?" He says in a defeated voice.

I smile proudly. "Oh, I know,"

A small smile starts to form on his lips.

"And you know he deserved it," I say, my voice now taking a more serious tone.

His smile quickly falters and turns into a stern look. "I know he did but that doesn't mean you should do something like that Eva. You know I am very familiar with his parents and I could not afford to just let students punch their son, not when I'm standing next to that particular student," He responds.

I pout my lips and put my best puppy face on while I walk closer to him.

"But he really needed that nose job and I'm a miraculous surgeon," I say while giving him an innocent smile. 

That makes him laugh out loud, something he doesn't do often. A sound I enjoy a lot. 

"You really are impossible," He says, a smile playing on his lips. He removes his hand towards my hips and pulls me closer against him until our mouths are only a couple inches removed which he then quickly fills. A warm spark flows through me at his touch, his lips fitting perfectly with mine. After a few seconds, he parts again so that now his forehead is leaning against mine.

"You do know you can't do that again, do you?" He asks, his voice sounding serious as to let me know that he means it.

"Yeah yeah, I'll behave," I say while bringing his mouth closer to mine again.

"I never asked you what it was you were doing this time," Severus asks. He has seated himself at his desk and is grading some essays, poor kids. I'm laying lazily in one of the chairs in front of his desk, watching him intently. The way his eyebrow quirks up whenever he reads something interesting or completely bonkers. The way his mouth tilts slightly upward whenever he is writing, and the way a slight furrow in his brow appears whenever he is deep in concentration. We have done this often lately, me just watching while he is doing some work. Talking only through the silence. I can't help but smile at the memories of these past few weeks, it has been nothing short of amazing. But now he has disturbed this peaceful silence, I sincerely hoped he would forget about the 'catching me walking out of Filch's office' part.

"Whatever could you mean?" I answer, giving him a devious grin when he raises his head to look at me in question.

"Eva..." He says, his tone dangerously low.

I sigh, I can't win with him. "It was nothing, I just needed to do something," I state, throwing my hands up in surrender.

He quirks his eyebrow at me, giving me that look that says he doesn't trust what I'm saying one bit. He knows me too well.

"And what might that something be?" He inquires then.

At that moment a big bang sounds from somewhere up in the castle. I just manage to keep myself from jumping up, trying to act as if I knew exactly what I was helping with. His eyes widen in surprise.

I give him a devious grin. "that of course" I say while gesturing my hands in a way to indicate the bang we just heard. I know it must be the twins, who else? That does mean they somehow have figured out I managed to pull off my part, and went through with it. I'm glad because I would've hated to steal this from them as well.

At my words, Severus immediately jumps out of his chair and starts towards the source of the noise. I quickly pull myself out of the chair I'm sitting in and run after him, he is of course already several passes ahead of me but I manage to catch up with him just as he is about to take the staircase towards the great hall. The sound is getting more and more clear as we ascend the staircase. Once we reach the Great Entrance, it becomes clear that the noise, which is still going on, is coming from the front yard.

Once we get closer to the commotion I can now clearly see that the source of the noise are fireworks Fred and George have made. Almost half of the school is currently standing on the stone square and is watching the twins fly about their brooms and setting off more fireworks with fascination. I can also see the little pink woman standing in the middle of the square, completely in rage. I believe she is yelling for Filch, but thankfully he isn't here to assist her. A big grin starts to cover my face.

Severus is also watching in awe, giving me a look as to ask if I knew anything about this. I merely shrug at him. I basically knew just as much as he did.

The twins have now stopped flying around and beautiful fireworks spelling the letter W are visible in the sky behind them. They give one last bow before turning around and exiting the terrains of Hogwarts. Cheers go up from all around me.

So this is what they were planning, one final prank to remember them by before leaving Hogwarts. I'm kind of hurt that they didn't tell me about them actually leaving Hogwarts, but I can't help the smile that plays across my face. Although I'm sad to see them go, I know they will do great things. Because I have never met better pranksters than those two are.
