Chapter 48 (this is it)
The next day classes were cancelled in celebration of the dark lord falling. Harry decided to visit his aunt during the afternoon.
"Hello Harry." Alex smiled at the sight of her nephew.
"Hi." Harry said slowly, walking into the classroom.
"Something I can do for you?"
"I was just wondering… since it's almost summer holiday and I would have to let my other family know… if I wasn't coming back for the summer."
"I've been meaning to talk to you about that." Alex smiled softly. "I spoke with Severus and he agreed to you staying with us during break. However I would like to remind you that you'd have to watch your behavior and where you go in the house. We both know that Severus is not the most agreeable man."
"So I can stay with you?" Harry asked excitedly.
"Yes you can." Alex smiled; Harry gave her a quick hug then turned to leave.
"I have to write to the Dursleys. Tell them I won't be back."
"Are you sure they won't mind?"
"They'll have a party when they find out."
"Oh Harry, I highly doubt that."
"I don't." Came a voice from the doorway.
"Go write your letter Harry." Alex smiled. Harry left and Severus entered the room. "Let me see!" She demanded happily. He just smirked at her and extended his arm. Quickly she undid the cuff buttons and rolled up the sleeve, his forearm was bare.
"Are you quite satisfied?" Severus asked.
"Very." She replied giving him a quick kiss.
"You know Alex, there is something we have yet to discuss." Sev said, leading her to a chair.
"Is there? I find that hard to believe. I mean we live together, we had a child together, and we love each other. What could possibly be left?" Alex said with a knowing grin.
"This perhaps." He smirked, putting a small box infront of her. Alex opened it to reveal a silver ring with a dark green stone.
"Well… this is the best offer I've received so far…" She smiled brightly at him.
"Stop lacking about and give me an answer."
"You know that it's yes." She grinned putting the ring on then giving him a kiss.
"Wench."
"Bastard."
"I love you." Snape said with what could only be described as a genuine grin.
"Good to know. Because I love you too." Alex smiled, then kissed him again. Alexandra continued to smile through the day; it was going to be a good summer. She was engaged to Severus at last and her nephew would be with her over the holiday.
An interesting summer is to ensure…

Stay tune for the sequel… lets call it… Summer Fun? It's a working title.
OMG! I can't believe I finished it! It's really done! Hyperventilation excitement here. My story started in August, that means that this took me six months, about, to write. Just think if I didn't get off work early that day or finished my summer reading early this story wouldn't have been written. It's amazing and I'm dedicating it to my kick ass Marauders and to ThouandI, who was my only reviewer for a while there.
