Chapter 20

Severus started playing the guitar with a lovely song which give a very happy vibe to all the people present and Severus started to sing.

Goin' out tonight, changes into something red

Her mother doesn't like that kind of dress

Everything she never had she's showin' off

Drivin' too fast, moon is breakin' through her hair

She's headin' for somethin' that she won't forget

Havin' no regrets is all that she really wants

We're only gettin' older, baby

And I've been thinkin' about it lately

Does it ever drive you crazy

Just how fast the night changes?

Everything that you've ever dreamed of

Disappearing when you wake up

But there's nothing to be afraid of

Even when the night changes

It will never change me and you

Chasing it tonight, doubts are runnin' 'round her head

He's waitin', hides behind a cigarette

Heart is beatin' loud and she doesn't want it to stop

Movin' too fast, moon is lightin' up her skin

She's fallin', doesn't even know it yet

Havin' no regrets is all that she really wants

We're only gettin' older, baby

And I've been thinkin' about it lately

Does it ever drive you crazy

Just how fast the night changes?

Everything that you've ever dreamed of

Disappearing when you wake up

But there's nothing to be afraid of

Even when the night changes

It will never change me...

Severus was singing in a very sweet voice which soothes everyone's heart and everyone was just enjoying his singing with happiness and holding their life partners close.

Hope and Lily also slide closer to Severus and Severus unknowingly smiled, even he himself doesn't know that he was smiling like that.

Severus stopped singing and then notice everyone seeing him with questioning gazes as if asking 'why did you stop' he immediately stood up and said hesitantly," I think it is late tonight and I should go to sleep."

He turned around and was ready to leave then suddenly Eileen said," Wait, Severus, I think you should listen to what I am going to say."

Severus stopped and looked towards her with eyes as if asking 'What are you going to do' but Eileen not minding his gaze said," Mister Mikaelson and Mr Evans I would like to ask you to let Lily and Hope permit for night stay at our home tonight."

Hope and Lily's eyes got wide from this surprise and they were immediately very excited, Severus's eyes also got wide but from shock because he was feeling that something really bad is going to happen but Eileen had already shot an arrow from her bow and he can't do anything now.

Michael," Mrs Eileen, I will be happy to accept your invitation but Lily didn't bring any pyjamas or daily necessities with her."

Klaus," yeah and it will be very inconvenient for you to arrange everything right now."

Eileen," you don't have to worry about anything and maybe you forget that we are mages *She turns towards Severus with a questioning gaze and Severus not understanding anything only nodded with a smile* Severus will purchase everything for both of them."

Hearing her words Severus's mouth twitched and he immediately realized that he again got set up by Eileen.

Susan," Are you sure you will be able to take care of them."

Eileen," I am sure you don't have to worry about it."

Hayley," well I trust you because after getting along for 6 years I know you're a very responsible person, so Hope can stay."

Klaus was about to say something but stopped from Hayley's gaze which said 'That it's alright, Lily looked toward her parents and Susan said," I understand, Lily can also stay for a night stay."

Eileen," That's great now how about you Petunia don't you want to stay here."

Petunia," No, I have something important to do so I can't stay."

Eileen," I understand."

Then she turned toward Hope and Lily and said," Now I forgot to prepare other rooms as it was just suddenly come to me. so you both have to sleep in Severus room tonight."

Hayley," Won't it be inappropriate and Severus will have to adjust a lot because of this." she can understand what she was trying to do because they are wizards and she knows it was not a big deal for them to get things ready. Of course, Susan was also thinking the same but Klaus and Michael were not able to use their brain because of thinking about their daughters sleeping at a boy's house tonight.

Severus wanted to say yes at Hayley's words but stopped by Eileen's glare and said," No it's nothing like that I can even sleep on the couch in the living room."

Eileen smiled and said," See, now let's start getting ready."

Everyone do their things, while both parents returned home Eileen prepared necessities for girls and after some time all of them sat in the living room and Eileen was going to tell them a story.

Eileen," The story I am going to tell you today is about the first wizarding war in which the current headmaster of Hogwarts Albus Dumbledore fought with the first dark lord Gellert Grindelwald."

Both Hope and Lily were listening very attentively and Severus was lazing around as he already knows what happened.

Eileen," He was a student at Drumstrang institute but was expelled for his magic experiments and then...."

She proceeds to tell the story and Lily asked, how she knows so much about Grindelwald so she simply reply that she read it from a book and it was true for some length as Severus gifted her a book as a birthday present in which he recorded all the history of Magic Britain.

Eileen continues to tell them the story of Grindelwald about how violent he becomes and how many crimes he committed then, in the end, he was defeated in a legendary duel by Dumbledore and now he is imprisoned inside his Castle.

Hope," Wow Headmaster must be the strongest wizards in the world right now."

Eileen smiled kindly and said," people say that he is the strongest wizard in magic Britain right now but I think there is someone who can beat him if he goes all out." she said while looking towards Severus with a knowing gaze and he just shook his head and fall asleep covering his face from the blanket.

Lily," who is he, do you know him."

Eileen," you will see him in future and now you should sleep because it's already late at night."

Both girls nodded and went upstairs to Severus room, when they entered the room they got a very plain feeling because it was too plain for Severus's personality.

Hope," Lily don't you think he is hiding his stuff from us."

Lily," Yeah, maybe he will show us when the time is right and we are also going to stay together for years, so let's wait patiently."

Hope," Look who is talking about patience."

Lily," hey I am the most patient person among the three of us."

Hope," Come on you can do better than that."

Lily," What did you say."

Hope," okay, you are the most patient. now let me sleep we still have to wake up for exercise tomorrow even if we are not training."

Lily give a victory smile and both of them fall asleep, thinking about their journey to Hogwarts.
