Disclaimer: I do not own the world of Harry Potter and those in it! I do however own Brooklyn, BJ, Sammy, Brandon, and Adeline (oh and her name is pronounced Add-A-Line)and any such characters. I don't own the Heartagram either, that's Bam Margera's or his brother or whatever. I guess that's it so, enjoy!


The Best Summer Ever!

Chapter 1

A Dinner Invitation

"Ah, summer break at last," Brooklyn Gordon, a surviving 6th year student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, said as she settled back into the squishy chair on the Hogwarts Express. The entire ride took all day so she settled back with her ipod and listened to music and played games until they came to the train station of platform 9¾. She walked off of the train and collected her belongings and waited for her parents to pick her up outside the train station. As she sat on her trunk and waited she saw a black speck out the corner of her eye. She turned her head to see her potions professor, Severus Snape, walk by her and into a crowd of muggles and Hogwarts students; black robes billowing in his wake.

"BROOKLYN!" Two small, shrill voices rang out through the air. The girl in question looked up to see two identical girls ran towards her and into her arms.

"Rachelle! Michelle!" Brooklyn exclaimed happily as her 8 year old sisters hugged her. A moment later her parents showed up behind the twins girls. "Hi, Mum. Dad."

"Hi, Brook," Mrs. Gordon said gathering her first born daughter into a tight hug after the twins dispersed. "Good to have you home again, baby."

"Mu-um! There are people around!" Brooklyn chastised her babying mother. The family left the train station and went home. When the Joesph family walked into their log cabin home Brooklyn went straight to her room on the upper level to unpack and relax. She fell asleep while relaxing on her hammock-like bed.

The next morning Brooklyn was awoken by her mother coming into the room stating that her friends Brandon, BJ, Sammy, and Adeline were waited for her in the living room. "They've got their skateboards with them, Brook. I think they want you to go boarding with them."

"Okay, Mum, I'm up," Brooklyn said sitting up in bed and scrubbing her face. "Tell them I'll be right down. Board and all." With that Mrs. Gordon turned and left to give the information to the group of teenagers in her living room. Brooklyn got up and pulled on a black tight fitting shirt that read 'JACKASS' written in white on it; along with some simple jeans and her black and red Etnies. She pulled on a beanie that had a Heartagram on it and grabbed her Birdhouse skateboard. She raced downstairs and met her muggle friends in the living room.

"Hey Brooklyn," Brandon said noticing her come down the steps first. Everyone turned and gave their greetings as well.

"Hi Brandon. Hello everyone. Bye Mum. Be back later. Peace," Brooklyn said running out the door with her friends while her mum waved goodbye.

"So, how was boarding school?" Adeline asked as she set her board down and started to glide on the board.

"Not bad, actually. I'm so thankful this upcoming year is my last," Brooklyn stated nonchalantly. So had told her muggle friends she was in a seven year boarding school to avoid confusion. Sometimes she wished that she could tell them she was a witch; especially that Sammy had become obsessed with Witchcraft after studying about the Salem Witch Trials three years ago in History class. Brooklyn was actually getting sick of said trials as Professor Binns continuously taught the subject every year in History of Magic. Her friends were conversing while she thought about the previous school term. She hadn't done particularly well in potions this year, which really wasn't saying much but she usually did average; this year was abysmal.

"Hey! Let's go jump those rails over there," Brooklyn was pulled out of her reverie as BJ's voice rang out. Brooklyn followed his pointing finger to some black rusty rails that were attached to an abandoned shack nestled in the woods a few yards up. Everyone agreed and raced toward the ominous black shelter. When the reached the house the found it wasn't a shack at all, no. It was a gigantic abandoned mansion; with lots of concreted areas for skateboarding, one might add gleefully! They all jumped the black railing and went around back to jump other jumpable jumps.

"Hey guys check this out!" Brooklyn called to her friends at the top of the second story veranda. She was perched at the top of the railing with her foot on the back end of the skateboard. When she was about to make her descent to the bottom two things struck her as odd; one was that her friends had gasped and had looks of horror and disbelief on their faces, and the second, was that an arm gripped her around her waist and pulled her from the railing; making her skateboard plunge to the ground below with a thud. She turned around and met two familiar onyx eyes glaring into hers. Brooklyn's eyes grew big and all the air left her lungs. Her mouth tried to work but it only succeeded in opening and closing stupidly.

"Miss Gordon," Professor Snape sneered down at her angrily.

"P-professor S-snape," she stammered. Her frozen muscles reacted the only way they knew how in this kind of situation; her feet turned and tried to run away from the forbidding man in front of her. The hand around her arm gripped tighter and pulled her to him once more. "Wha-"

"Stay awhile, Miss Gordon. I'd love to know why you are vandalizing my home," Snape said in her ear, making her shudder with his warm breath on her neck. "Well!"

"I-I… uh… didn't think anyone lived here. I thought it was abandoned," Brooklyn stammered.

"Clearly… you thought wrong," Snape said coldly. He looked up to see her friends still standing in the grass below them. He spoke loudly so, they too, could hear him. "Now, I want you and your friends to vacate my property before I take you all to your respected houses and turn you over to your parents." He looked back to Brooklyn. "I don't want to see you on my property again, Miss Gordon. Do I make myself clear?"

"Crystal!" She stated quickly. He released her arm and she ran down to retrieve her board. She and her friends booked it out of there and never looked back.

"God, I didn't know anyone lived there. Honestly!" BJ said huffing to catch his breath.

"Apparently, we all didn't," Brooklyn said.

"Do you know him? You both looked like you recognized each other," Brandon asked.

"He's my …chemistry teacher," Brooklyn half lied as she and her friends walked back down the street.

"Is he always that… pleasant?" Sammy asked switching her shoes to skate instead of walk.

"You have no idea," Brooklyn said doing the same and the two girls grabbed the other's arm and skated around the rest of the group.

When they reached Brooklyn's house they bid her goodbye and skated away as Brooklyn turned and went inside. "Why are you back so early?" Mrs. Gordon asked, looking at her daughter. "I was expecting you to be out until sundown."

"I met the most interesting person today," Brooklyn stated uninterestedly.

"Oh, who?" Mrs. Gordon asked.

Brooklyn looked at her as if she asked the stupidest question in the world. "My potions teacher from Hogwarts: Professor Snape!"

"Oh, really, he lives around here?" She seemed to ponder something a moment and Brooklyn rolled her eyes and made her way to the stairs to the second landing, and her room, but her mum thwarted her by stating, "You should invite him to dinner tonight, Brookie."

From the third step, Brooklyn froze and turned slowly to stare at her mother incredulously. Her mother had simply went back to whatever she had been doing, scrap booking, as if her daughter had already agreed and was already out the door heading over to her hated potions professor's house with a skip in her step. "Mum," Brooklyn said simply, as if that explained it all.

Her mother looked up and said, "Brooklyn." The look in her eyes said more though. A statement like: 'It's polite. I've raised you with manners. Do as I say or I'll drag you up there and make you do it.'

"Fine, but don't get mad at me when declines. …And, please, miss me when I don't come back. He'll more than likely stuff me in with all his Eye of Newts and Heart of Frogs, etc. I'll be back in a minute," She said over her shoulder as she left through the front door.

"Sometimes that girl has quite the imagination," she thought as she smiled and went back to her scrap booking.

Severus Snape sat down in his living room, in his favorite recliner, with a book called Ancient Philosophy of Potions across the World. He started to read but was distracted by a faint scratching sound outside his home. Looking up in irritation, he closed his book and went over to the window. He looked out it and stared in mild anger, though growing fast to outright fury, at the lone girl in the black shirt skateboarding up the walkway to his door. There was a crack in the path and the girl jumped it by doing an Ollie 180, though Severus just saw it as a jump, or trick, or …an annoyance. She stepped on the back of the board making it flip up into her hands and she proceeded to walk to the door. A scowl firmly on his face, Severus met her at the door. The knock had barely came before he wrenched the door opened, making her gasp in fear, and he sneered down at her, ready to make her run off crying or screaming for her life; both sounded delightful to Severus' ears.

"What do you want now, Miss Gordon? Need I remind you that you are trespassing, yet again?" Severus hissed to her.

"N-no, Professor Snape, I-I was just… just," Brooklyn stammered and trailed off.

Just what, girl? Spit it out, I don't have all day!" He continued in his harsh tone.

"My mum sent me to invite you to dinner tonight, sir. She'd really like to meet you, as would my father," Brooklyn said as she positioned her skateboard behind her with the wheels on either side of her hips and her arms locked behind the ends that flip up slightly.

Severus stared at her a moment and then twisted his head either which way, looking outside to see if there was anyone else around. "Dinner?"

"Tonight, sir. We're having roasted chicken with mashed potatoes and peas if that does anything for you," Brooklyn said shrugging.

He scrutinized her a moment and then asked, "What time?"

"We eat at six, sir," she said.

He nodded, "Then I accept. Be here at 5:30 sharp to walk me down to your house, understood?" She looked up at him at nodded. "Very well. Good day to you, Miss Gordon." She nodded again and positioned the board's flipped up end back under her foot; this time in the opposite position as she was now. Severus closed the door with a snap and went back to the window to watch the Ravenclaw girl skate back to her home. Though, when she came to that crack again she stuck her tongue out slightly in concentration and bent down low to the ground. Pushing on the end of the board with her back foot, and a little momentum, she lifted off the ground and flipped the board twice under her feet and landed with it back under her feet with a loud thwack. Severus shook his head and she skated off with one foot on the board and the other pushing her along. She disappeared behind the bushes and trees hiding his home from the street and the world.


There you go! Tell me what you think by Reviewing and I'll do a trick for you or something. And for those of you who are reading this and have been reading "Mastering the Potions Master" don't worry I haven't abandoned it. I got MAJOR writer's block. But it will be updated by the end of this coming week, hopefully, so be ready. Anyway, thank you for reading and, for those of you who do, reviewing. Peace! EntrancableFairy
