OK, Mad Hatter here. Just want to say that this is Severus' story, though
obviously others are involved, this is his life, not anyone else's. So if
you hate him, don't read because I don't really need a flame bashing
Severus. But other than that, I hope you like my story! ^_~
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or any of the Harry Potter characters, like Severus....damn.
~blah,blah~ as usual, Severus' thoughts
Black Hole
"Wozny, Nancy"
Silence ensued for the last time as the Sorting Hat contemplated its decision. The rim opening up it called out, "Gryffindor!" The said table rang out with applause, easily the noisiest as the Headmaster rose from his seat at the Head Table to 'say grace' in a way only he could.
"Tuck in!"
Cheers rose from over-exuberant students, mainly second and third years from Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Gryffindor, however two fifth years from Gryffindor made their voices heard as well. The Hall filled with a warm, glowing atmosphere as old friends reunited and new ones began to form; yet at one table, the atmosphere could hardly be described in that way.
The Slytherins were talking of course, just quietly amongst themselves; not yelling halfway down the table for someone to pass the Pepper Imps. Though this year it was more quiet than usual, and Severus had suspicions as to why. Even the first years weren't talking above the noise of the others in the Hall, following the lead of the older Slytherins, just as they followed their parents lead. Though Severus' suspicions were of political talk of the recent events, he didn't let the anxiousness and nervous excitement of the others infect him, he had other troubles on his mind.
This was his fifth year; he would have to work extra hard in class for the O.W.L.S that would greet him at the end of term, and then there was always the fact that he had to watch his back for Potter and Black, who no doubt had thought up some more idiotic ways to torment him over the summer. Indeed, as he swept his black hair out of his vision and glanced over at the rambunctious Gryffindor table, Black was sneering at him and Potter smirking. God! What did they already have planned? Severus shook his head, at least he had his spells to defend himself with, because as far as he was concerned, the Professors all looked the other way when the Gryffindor Golden Boys proved their 'superiority', or as Severus called it, their egotism.
"Snape? Hey Severus! Come on, we're going to the dorms."
"Hmm?" Severus looked up at Rosier and then around the Hall where students were walking out to go sleep for the night. "Oh yeah, right."
Sweeping out of the Hall after the others and through the many passageways, Severus found himself stopped before the usual stone entrance as he waited for someone to say the password, seeing as he hadn't a clue what it was.
"Riddle" one of them said. The wall moved aside and allowed them entrance into the familiar Slytherin Common Room.
~Intriguing that the rising political man I've heard so much about from the adults should be the password to our House~
Severus was about to make his way up to the dorms so he could continue reading Moste Potente Potions for the fifth time, but Avery and Rosier beckoned him over to where they were standing in the middle of the Common Room with Bellatrix, Rodolphos, Rabastan, Wilkes, Nott, Crabbe, and Goyle.
"What is it?" he asked as he stood next to Avery, quite unaccustomed to being asked to stand in the middle of the room for no apparent reason with the only Slytherins in the Common Room.
Rosier smirked, "Just touch this with the rest of us."
Severus looked up in alarm at the silver snake cane he was familiar to seeing Lucius Malfoy strut around with. Not a second later however, it clicked, though only partially.
"What are you doing with a Portkey? More importantly, why do you have Malfoy's cane as a Portkey?"
Neither question was answered however, and Severus only too late felt himself being pushed by Avery into the cane the others were holding, and then spiraling around dizzily until he finally collapsed on someone already on the ground.
Chapter 2 on its way! (just have to do all this damn homework I should be doing now...*looks around guiltily*) ^_^hehe
