A story between a teacher oc named Athena Cullens and Severus Snape. After Lily's death, both Athena and Severus have not been the same. While Athena Cullens began to work for the ministry to hunt down the death eaters, Severus became a Hogwarts tea...
As the dining hall began to clear from the people, I could see a very distraught Snape quickly walk away.
His cape was trailing right behind him and a tiny glimpse of a heartbroken expression.
This look caused my chest to twinge in pain for a moment, but I scolded my heart for feeling this way.
I should know better than to be swept up in the past and those memories.
Dumbledore could tell my eyes were on him as he walked off.
If it was malicious or not, I made sure he could not identify what expression dawned on my face.
"Athena, can you please follow me up to my office," he said as his eyes stare up in interest.
I followed behind, making sure I was not too close. Professor Dumbledore noticed in an instant.
He chuckles, and I could see his grey beard lift and little wrinkle form in the corners of his eyes.
"Why are you walking so far behind me. I will not bite that hard," he said.
I smiled and decided to walk alongside Dumbledore as if we were equals.
As we got closer, he then whispered a password to a griffin statue, and a staircase appeared.
We began to walk as the concrete stairs circled us. It was quite magical to see this as a teacher, but I remember this was a feeling of mystery and dread as a student.
Of course, every time I did walk into his office, it was because James and I had either gotten in a fight or finished pranking the other Houses.
The "Marauders" James, Remus, Peter, and Sirus liked to call themselves often invited me on their crusades, but I refused because I found their treatment of Slytherins to be somewhat too harsh.
They are out of their childhood buffoonery and became very respectable adults. Lily even found James to be quite a catch after he dissolved his chauvinistic attitude.
We entered the office, and the room was the same as when I attend Hogwarts.

He had an arch coming from the back wall and the grand dark wooden desk that seemed to be taller when I younger.
"Has the office brought back any memories from you mischievous years," he said in a booming voice.
He started to brush his silver-white beard as he was thinking of something.
I smiled politely, "People do change, professor. This time I am better at covering up my tracks."
He laughs at my attempt at a joke. He walks over to his chair.
"If i remember correctly, would you not be in my office because you were fighting James Potter for pranking a certain friend of yours."
