Okay, Another story to add to my ever-growing library of unfinished ones. *shrug* O well. ONWARDS!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was sitting in the sidewalk, leaning up against the brick wall behind me. Not unusual. I closed my eyes and let the sounds and scents of the London air wash over me. Suddenly, a dim shadow was cast over me. I cracked open one eye wide enough to look a the person's shoes. Shiny black boots. Legs in tight jeans. Parked next to the sidewalk was a motorcycle.

"Excuse me, miss." The person began. That voice. It was so familiar. Like a voice I had heard in a nightmare. Or something.

"Miss, would you kindly look at me when I speak to you?" The voice asked sharply. I inwardly rolled my eyes. I looked up at him.

"Much better. Can you direct me to-Miss Granger?!?" I stared at him, openmouthed.

"Professor SNAPE?! By MERLIN! What are you doing in muggle London?!" Snape backed up a step or two. I got to my feet painstakingly (I had been sitting for nearly three hours).

"Miss Granger, what are you-Why are you out sitting on the streets like this?"

"MAYBE It's because MY FRICKIN' PARENTS WERE KILLED NEARLY A MONTH AGO!!!" I yelled at him, losing my temper. Fortunately the street was nearly empty, or I'd be getting a lor of really weird looks. I paused.

"What are you wearing?!" I finally noticed, surveying his outfit. The black boots, tight jeans, a black shirt, and a black leather jacket with a green snake on the back. 'Ever Slytherin.' I commented mentally. His hair was pulled back into a ponytail and he held the black and green helmet under his arm.

"Do I meet your approval? Miss Granger, you cannot tell me that you have lived on this street for a month!"

"Of course not! Only since yesterday. I put all my money in a bank, and packed some clothes after I was evicted. Apparently someone was supposed to pick me up, but I guess they were delayed." I explained simply. "anyway, where did you need directions to?"

I caught him off guard slightly, because he looked disoriented for a split second.

"I'm trying to get to this address. I'm supposed to pick someone up."

"Who?" I asked, glancing at the address, noting that it was in the same apartment building as I had been.

"Don't know. Can you please direct me to the proper place?"

"Let me see that. Wait-Are you sure this is correct?"

"Yes I am. Albus gave it to me."

I froze for a split second then burst out laughing. Snape must had been looking at me strange, but I didn't care.

"This! This is MY address!" I managed once I had calmed down. Snape sighed. He grabbed a (black) helmet off the second seat on the motorcycle.

"Get on. I have express orders to take you directly to Hogwarts." I looked up at him. 'Dang, he's tall!' I thought.

"Fine." I snatched the helmet and swung my leg over the first seat of the motorcycle. I grinned and held out my hand for the keys. Snape looked at me in horror.

"Do you even have a license?"

I pulled out my wallet and flashed my license at him. He looked defeated. Tossing me the keys he got as I revved up the engine.

"Brace yourself!" I cried, and then pressed the accelerator and we were off like a shot.

"WHOOOO YEAH!" I screamed, caught up in the adrenaline rush. Riding motorcycles always did that to me. I suddenly realized that I was probably going to fast, seeing as Snape seemed to be trying very hard not to grab onto me. I slowed a bit. Stupid Snape. Not wanting to risk his 'manhood' by hanging onto a girl so he wouldn't fall off.

I zoomed through the streets and backroads, making my way to a little known back road that led directly to the back parking lot of Kings Cross. We arrived and got off. Snape took off his helmet and I handed mine to him. He shrank the cycle and helmets and put them in a small case, wich she dropped in his pocket.

"Now come on. We don't have time to waste. Our train leaves at five sharp." I stalked away and I followed.

"What platform?" I asked.

"7 and five-eighths."

"Okay." I headed directly towards the barrier. Snape followed me and we arrived a the platform just in tome to jump on the train almost as it was pulling out. We found seats and settled in for the long ride. Since it wasn't an express train, the trip would take almost twice as long as it would on The Hogwarts Express.

I looked over as Snape pulled out a thick book. I had nothing to do so I sat back and began humming.

"Cease that annoying habit at once." Snape snapped. I crossed my eyes and stuck my tongue out at him.

"Make me." I said. I leaned back and continued my humming. Snape pulled out his wand and muttered something and I found that I could make not noise whatsoever. I glared at him.

This would be a LONG trip.....
