A.N.: My beautiful Dolls, here we go, as I promised, with continuing story of Henrietta and Severus, and Harry of course ;-). Alright, we're continuing where we stopped, just don't be afraid, this chapter is bit flash-back-ish so…don't worry, we'll get in Hogwarts again ;-) and the song I do hope you all know, I just couldn't help the lyrics, I adjusted them by myself, and recommending to listen to metal version of Hellfire from Jonathan Young –DE-LI-CIOUS ! Really, I love it as background to it (though I rewrote only few lyrics of the song ;-) ) So I hope you will enjoy, and I'm so glad for all your positive responses :333 your ZiZi hugs and ZiZi kisses xoxo

Young girl sitting in shadow of a grand willow by the shore of little island in the middle of The Great Lake. Reading her book, she was half away in her mind unless…

,,Henrietta,'' male voice greeting her from a distance, giving her a lurch, that she dropped her book.

Brunette looked around herself, not spotting anybody, until Severus came up from his hiding, behind the willow.

,,Severus,'' she smiled, when he sat down beside her. ,,What are you doing here ?How did you get here ?'' she picked up the book again.

,,I think the same way as you,'' Severus smirked pointing behind himself, and only then Hetty noticed another broom, which was leaning against the tree next to hers.

,,Oh…sure…and, why are you here ? I thought you might go into Hogsmeade since it's only week till the summer holidays,'' she slightly blushed, looking back into her book, trying to hide.

She fancied him too much in those four years, that she felt odd all of sudden in his presence, and she wasn't certain why. She was so unsure, and feeling butterflies in her stomach ever time he'd looked at her.

,,And with whom I should go there ? Alone ?'' he smirked, leaning in more in the shadow.

,,With Lily…'' Hetty sighed, trying to hide all of her face behind the book.

,,But…Lily is not you…''

She gulped, feeling the butterflies again, and heat coming up to her cheeks.

Whatever it was, it was something very strong.

,,On the fact that you are Ravenclaw, you sometimes does not seem to be…'' Severus nearly laughed, crossing his arms on his chest.

She suddenly narrowed, trying to look as much clever as she could, asking ,,And why's that ?''

Sevy only smiled more, reaching with one of his hands to her book, and turning it upside down in her light grip, smirking afterwards. She blushed way harder.

,,I'm having my own point of view,'' she stick out her tongue at him, laughing.

,,Could you tell me which point of view looks at the book upside down ?'' Severus laughed with her.

,,The creative one !'' she gently nudged his elbow with hers.

But he wouldn't give up so easily, repaying her the hit, by bumping with his side to hers, slightly pushing her from the willow. Now she seriously put the book down, rolling up sleeves of her white shirt, and nearly jumping at him with one big laugher, forcing him down to the soil. Severus was laughing all aloud as well, and just as she was holding his shoulders, he grabbed at her sides rolling over her, but she responded the same way, so they were rolling down the little hill changing their positions couples of times, before they landed right at the edge of the shore, just before they might have fallen to water.

Both slightly panting, Severus was leaning above Hetty, who was still blushing, but now it doesn't seem to be from his presence but from fighting him off herself. Now she was steadily holding his arms, looking straight to his black eyes, as he was looking down into her chocolate orbs.

At the moment of his inattention she used it, and pushed him straight to the ground, being atop him now, smiling triumphantly. But he did not respond, he just lied there, letting her hold firmly his shoulders. He even looked like he was enjoying it. Enjoying his slaughter.

And then she noticed.

Those flames in his eyes, as the sun enlightened his face through the trees.

He was glowing. But not only from the sun. He was glowing from happiness, and that made her feel good. Hetty could not help herself, but stare into his eyes, and that fire, which was washing over her. Tempting her. Fire expanding from his eyes to his lips. Her right hand trailed off his shoulder, and towards his face.

Her fingertips softly explored curves of his face, sliding with her palm to cup his cheek, until she took all of her courage and slowly start descending with her head. She stopped only few inches above him, like she lost the courage, but it was too late, because Severus raised his head, closing that tiny gap between them and kissing her gently on her rosy lips.

It was far more better than any of her expectations. It was tender, sweet and so peculiar sensation, she felt like she just touched the heaven.

Since their first kiss, that fire start slowly devouring her.

Hetty gasped as her eyes flew open, her body reacting very quickly, narrowing on the bed she was lying in, and brunette looking all around her, to realize where she is.

She smiled after seeing Severus, lying next to her in her bed, sleeping rather sweetly, she was afraid to wake him, if she might now creep up from the bed.

But the dream. The memory on her school years, and on their first kiss, forced her to slid from under the covers, and go to her conference table, she lit the candle, because she was too lazy to go for her wand, which was somewhere in living room, and candles haves their own magic.

Taking candlestick and walking to her little bookshelf in her bedroom, she put it on one shelf, and start searching.

Despite she didn't want to wake Severus, his sleep was interrupted in the moment, when the light of the burning candle landed on his eyelids. He blinked few times, spotting Hetty, standing in her nightgown few steps away from bed, searching something in her bookshelf in the candlelight.

,,Come on, it has to be somewhere here,'' she muttered under her breath, that Severus heard her. He was curious, what woke her in the middle of the night, and forced her to search for something. Also he was curious for what she was looking in the shelf, but he let her rustle in the bookshelf, watching her eagerly, now completely awake.

,,Remember Hettie…last time you've seen it ?'' she whispered for herself again, realizing it was way too long.

,,Yes !'' she shouted a thrilled whisper, pulling out a small black diary, cheering above it. ,,Finally…now where is it ?'' she hurriedly opened it and start thumbing all through the diary, the rustle of pages echoing in silence of the room.

,,Oh,'' she stopped at one page, smiling as she probably found what she was looking for, grinning at the diary as she was reading in her mind, her smile enlightened by the candle.

,,What have you found ?'' Severus now couldn't deny a question, forgetting, that she didn't know he was awake, making her twitch slightly, she nearly dropped the diary.

,,I woke you ?'' she whispered, taking the candle and the diary, walking to her side of bed, putting candle on the nightstand, and shifting herself back beneath the covers.

,,It doesn't matter…what does matter is, what you have found,'' Severus smiled, petting her arm, and looking at the black diary. ,,What is it ? If it's not too…personal ?''

Hetty smiled at him, slowly examining his face expression.

,,Do you remember on our first kiss ?'' she leaned to him, kissing softly his forehead.

He closed his eyes, trying to remember. After all, it was past midnight, he was interrupted from his sleep, and his mind was bit blurred, but he tried.

,,I do…was it by the willow ?'' he only assured himself, when Hetty nodded smiling. ,,Well ?''

,,Well…I had a dream, about our first kiss, and I recalled my feelings back then…''

,,…And ?'' Severus still not understanding, but eagerly listening to her words.

,,And, I remembered, I was writing every single thought into this diary,'' she slightly raised the diary in her hands. ,,As usually, these were poems at first…then I was humming them more often, and it became a small songs…this-'' she gave him the opened diary on certain page ,,-is the song I wrote after our first kiss…''

Severus blinked to get his blurred vision into normal, taking the diary, and read the heading.

,,Hellfire ?'' he looked at Hetty, maybe a bit disappointed. ,,You were considering our first kiss as hellfire ?''

,,Just don't do hurried opinion, read it,'' she smiled, leaning to him.

,,If it's a song, why don't you sing it to me then ?'' he met her eyes, with loving glance.

After a second of hesitating, she nodded with smile, letting her head rest against his, as she started, with him.

Winter arrived and sheer white snow was covering completely everything. Castle was majestically surmounting above the Hogsmeade.

Henrietta was standing on graveyard, by the grave of her grandmother. She was visiting it every Christmas since her grandma died, when she was ten. Her grandmother was buried in Hogsmeade, because it was, where she lived, and Hetty always loved to spend her time with granny. She loved her grandmother more than anything else, though she was Witch, but Christian.

One day, Hetty arrived to Hogsmeade with her parents, and they found out, Granny is not anymore among the living ones. Henrietta was broken, and she promised to herself and to her grandmother, to visit her grave and Church every Christmas.

Hetty put a floral wreath on the grave, softly sniffing.

,,Granny…'' she whispered, crying softly.

Severus saw her, as he was walking across the street, he dared to walk to her, in deadly silence, running arm around her shoulders. Hetty cried way harder.

,,It is already four years…'' he whispered, trying to sooth her. She was cold as ice.

,,I know, but it still hurts,'' Hetty whimpered.

,,Can I do anything for you ?'' he caught her sight, smiling, and she saw that flame in his eyes again.

,,Leave me alone…please…'' Hetty sniffed again, forcing a weak smile, and Severus nodded carefully putting his arm away, and even when he didn't want to let her stay there alone, he walked away.

Hetty waited, till Severus was out of her sight, then she cried. Lonely, on the graveyard. Collapsing to her knees buried in snow.

,,Granny…'' she looked at the little black and white picture in one of the corners of her granny's grave. Face of old woman was smiling at her, looking towards entrance of graveyard. ,,Him ?''

Face smiled even more.

,,He's a…friend…Granny ?'' Henrietta looked at the face, wiping her tears, which start getting cold on her cheeks, biting viciously into her cold skin.

Face looked inquiringly, staying quiet.

,,Is right, when…when I always feel…such warm feeling, when he is near me ?''

Granny smiled, nodding slowly.

,,But…that warm feeling is all over me…I feel wrong…I feel wrong, because….I don't know,'' Hetty was confused, of what she actually wanted to say.

When she looked back at her granny on the picture, she was touching above her heart.

,,Love ? I don't know…I…I don't know if I love him…if he love me,'' Hetty looked at her knees. ,,I…kissed him once, and since then I feel strange…desire.''

Looking up again, and her granny was pointing with her hand towards the entrance of graveyard. She looked that way, and saw Severus, passing by with Lily.

Hetty opened her mouth she wanted to say something, but when she turned to her granny, face mouthed inaudible 'Go'.

Henrietta nodded, smiling at her Grandmother's picture on her grave, slowly standing up, wiping away the bit of snow off her pants and coat, and then walking away.

She walked around the Church, looking how Severus was smiling at Lily, and Hetty's heart had an ache.

,,Beata Maria

You know of my righteousness

Of my virtue I am justly proud…''

Hetty looking up at the tower of Church, wiping silently the rest of her tears. She made her silent prayer for her grandmother, and crossed herself.

,,Beata Maria

You know I'm so much purer since

My grandma such tragically died…''

Walking away from the Church, slowly following Severus with Lily, and when Severus seemed to be turning around, she quickly hid behind the nearest tree. He really turned around, looking if anybody could see him, before he smiled at Lily. But it was different smile, than how he was smiling at Hetty. This seemed to be…less happy. Redhead smiled back, grabbing suddenly his hands, and spinning with him around, making him laugh. Hetty sniffed…

,,Then tell me, Maria

Why I see him dancing there

Why his smold'ring eyes still scorch my soul ?''

He seen her, hiding behind the tree, his laugher ceased, and when James walked around them, Lily said Goodbye to Severus and left. But he didn't seemed sad for it, reversely, he walked few steps back.

,,Boo !'' he laughed at Hetty, who jumped up slightly, when she lost him from her sight, and he appeared behind her. She laughed, when he hugged her. Hetty only leaned in his embrace, feeling safe. Looking up, she saw him smiling, shining, not only because the sun peeked down at them for a moment, before disappearing behind the clouds again.

,,I feel him, I see him

The sun caught in his raven hair

Is blazing in me out of all control…''

He was smiling so pleasantly, she could deny one more hug. The warmness spreading around her, when she looked in his black eyes. He leaned to her, like he wanted to kiss her, but she turned her head away.

,,Sorry..'' he uttered, stroking her cheek with his warm glove on his hand.

Hetty nodded, taking his hand and walking with him towards the castle.

She could still feel his lips on hers, since last year, and she wanted to kiss him again…and again, and again. But she felt, that it's wrong. She needed some push.

,,Like fire

Hellfire

This fire in my skin

This burning

Desire

Is turning me to sin…''

After couples of minutes she parted with him, and walked all the way up in Owlery. Running up along the staircase.

,,It's not my fault

I'm not to blame

It is the Prince

The sorcerer who sent this flame !''

She didn't know, why she was running. Maybe she wanted to escape her thoughts about him, but she could see him even from the half of staircase, down there, walking to castle. She sniffed, looking away, and running up.

,,It's not my fault

If in God's plan

He made the Dark Arts so much

Stronger than I am !''

Only in Owlery she stopped, panting harshly, trying to ease her breathing, her face reddened, and finally she wasn't cold.

,,Protect me, Maria

Don't let this tempter cast his spell

Don't let his fire sear my flesh and bones…''

She cried, trying to figure out, what granny would tell her, if she could…she asked her mother in her letter, what does it all mean. Why she can see such flame in Severus' eyes. Why her body is in sudden fire. And especially…why she wanted it to devour her completely. She was afraid of answer, but she needed it.

,,Or Bless me Maria

To let me taste his fires of hell

And let him be just mine and mine alone !''

,,Agatha !'' she cheered, when she saw her owl, resting by the bowl with water, she had a small paper tied to her leg. Hetty rushed to her, petting her owl, and taking little letter from her, opening it, and urgently reading it. She quickly read it, and suddenly her face glowed with happiness. She doesn't get blessing from Maria, but from her mother. Last word on letter were 'Granny would be proud of you…'

Hetty danced across the Owlery, yet once more petting Agatha on her head, owl let out sound of satisfaction, and Henrietta hurriedly ran out of tower, rushing down.

,,Hellfire

Dark fire

Now Severus, it's your turn

You are my

Desire

Be mine or you I will burn…''

Hurrying into school, and quickly to one corridor upstairs. She knew Severus too well, to know, where he was hanging around in his free time.

Kyrie Eleison

Taking steps to Astronomy tower by two, her breath catching in her throat again, but this time she wasn't crying. She was happy.

,,God have mercy on him.''

She rushed few last steps, before she stumbled at the top, spotting Severus by the railing. He swiftly turned to her, as he did not expect anybody, to be in Astronomy tower, this hour, in this weather.

Kyrie Eleison

,,Hetty ?'' he smiled, when she stepped slowly to him.

,,God have mercy on me…''

,,Severus,'' she smiled, walking straightly to him, trying to catch her breath.

Kyrie Eleison

She hugged him tightly, he was surprised, but what she did afterwards surprised him even more. She cupped his cheeks with her cold fingers, bringing him to her face, she tiptoed, and with light press of her lips against his, she kissed him sweetly.

,,But he will be mine

Or I will burn !''

His hands both circled her waist, drawing him close to his body, and he eagerly repaid her kiss, smiling to her lips, when she slowly parted her lips, inviting him in and deepening their loving kiss.

,,I will burn !''

,,…And I burned,'' Hetty looked at Severus, who was still holding her black diary, looking at her, how she was smiling at him.

,,So this was the melody you were humming ever so often, since the night at Astronomy tower…I knew it means something. Well I didn't know, it means so much,'' Severus sat up smiling at her now, with real emotion.

,,So hellfire is just, metaphor, for the very first love burst, I had with you,'' Hetty explained, but Severus kissed her, interrupting. She smiled to their kiss, when he slowly raised her diary.

,,So there is more ?'' he softly waved with the diary, asking.

,,A lot more,'' she nodded approvingly, and when he start turning pages she looked at him ,,Don't you want to let it on tomorrow ? You seem tired…'' rubbing his chest with her fingers.

He looked at her and shook with his head lightly ,,I want to stay awake, and read with you. With your permission of course,'' he added very slowly.

Hetty smiled, nodding and leaning to his chest, letting him to turn to another page.
