"Daddy, hurry up." Called an annoyed blonde dragon. Lucius sighed "We'll get to your Uncle Severus' rooms when we get there Draconis." As he was saying this Severus' door came into sight. 'Finally' he thought as he knocked on the door.
"Uncle Sev. Where are they?" Harry asked of his favorite- uncle. "They'll be here soon Harry." Severus Snape said to the impatient seven year old. Sirius walked into the room then and asked in a mirth-filled voice "When did we get another hippo Sev?" Harry laughed as he said "It's me Uncle Siri." "Really?" Sirius asked while picking up his godson and spinning him around. "I never would have guessed." Just then there was a knock on the door and Severus went to answer it while Harry screamed "They're here!" joyously. 'Finally' Severus thought. 'Though we still have take them around the castle.'
As soon as Severus opened the door a small blonde blur shot past him running towards Harry. Severus looked at Lucius. Who for some unknown reason was glaring at him. "I hate you Severus." Lucius whispered. "And why would that be Lucius?" Severus asked, curious as to why Lucius had declared his hatred of him this time. "Not only do we have to deal with two hyperactive seven yearolds on a sugar high. But now we have to walk them around the bloody castle to get them more candy. All because you had to tell them the joys of trick-or-treating."
Ah…..Now Severus understood. Quite understandable really. After all he was beginning to doubt his own sanity in telling the children about that. And they hadn't even started yet. "Oh Merlin what did I get myself into' Severus thought as Remus finally made his appearance. "Well cubs. What are we waiting for?" asked Remus in his sheep costume. "So original" Severus noted sarcastically. "Lets go trick-or-treating already." Remus said beginning to walk out.
Harry and Draco picked up their little caldrons. Given to them to hold their candy and followed. Sirius, who was dressed as the Mad Hatter, and their ever loyal pets following. Severus and Lucius looked at each other and groaned. They would never live this down. They followed their companions in the matching rabbit (or as the children said White Rabbit and March Hare) costumes their charges had somehow convinced them to wear.
Minerva used the pictures as black-mail material for weeks. That is until Severus managed to procure some….interesting….pictures from when she was a student.
