The hours swept by as Snape drove on. Soon it was 9:30, when Snape pulled into a motel. "I thought we were going to the airport?" Tori asked. "Well, Miss Vega You might not need rest but the rest of us do." Snape retorted. "I'll get two rooms." Snape returned within 30 seconds. He led them up some stairs to two rooms. "Now I got two rooms. Everyone is to immediately go to sleep. No one is to leave there rooms unless to awake me, and only for emergency. Jessica, Miss, Valentine, Miss Vega, and Miss, West, are to go in this room and Mr. Harris, Mr. Shapiro, Mr. Oliver..." Snape grabbed a hold of Becks shoulders who was slowly making his way to Jade. "And I are to be in that room. Good night ladies."
The girls took turns getting into their pajamas. Jessica was already under the covers sleeping. "Look at her she so cute while she sleeping." Cat said looking at the sleeping witch. "Yeah she's probably pretending and waiting until we're a sleep so she can eat us." Jade sarcastically added climbing into the bed. "Good night everyone." The lights snapped off.
A piercing scream awoke Jade. The lights snapped on without warning. "Jessica! Wake up." Snape had entered the room and was at Jessica's side shaking her awake. Jessica's eyes shot wide open, and started to fill with tears.
"Jessica sweetheart you're okay you're fine. You're okay." Snape pulled Jessica onto his lap and whispered sympathetically in her ear. He rocked her softly till her tears dried up. "Are you okay?" Cat asked worried. "It was only a nightmare." Jessica reassured. "Was it about monsters?"Cat asked. "No it was something else. I don't want to talk about it." Jessica said with a sniffle. "Now will you be okay witchy?" Snape asked pulling the sheets over her. Jessica nodded, and closed her eyes, but softly asked. "Will you sing me that lullaby, me mama use to sing?"
Snape never refuse to sing a lullaby to her especially if she was scared like this. Snape sat at the end of the bed, and started to sing. "A gentle breeze from Hushaby Mountain softly blows for Lullaby bay. It fills the sails of boats that are waiting. Waiting to sail your worries away. It isn't far to Hushaby Mountain, and your boat waits down by the key. The winds of night so softly are sighing, so they will fly your troubles to sea. So close your eyes on Hushaby Mountain, wave goodbye to cares of the day, and watch your boat from Hushaby Mountain, sail far away to lullaby bay." Jade was surprise that the man could have such a calming and soothing voice.
As soon as Jessica was asleep Snape returned to his room and slipped quietly into the bed. An hour passed when Beck thought Snape was asleep. Trying to sleep with Jade, Beck attempted to slip out of bed but he didn't get far when Snape snatched him by arm and pulled back down, and said triumphantly. "Goodnight Mr. Oliver." Beck rolled his eyes at his failed attempt and replied "Goodnight professor."
Everyone was up and in the car by 8:00 the next morning. "We have a long drive ahead of us. So everyone stay off my nerves." Jade walked to the passenger seat but it was already taken by Jessica. "Hey, How come you get to sit up front?" But Jessica only smirked and said. "You snooze you lose." Jade climbed in and sat next to Beck. Snape noticed this right away. "Oh Mr. Oliver , I do hope you don't get any idea's like the one you had last night, at Hogwarts, there is absolutely no nighttime stroll allowed." And Snape started the car and proceeded to drive to the airport.
They arrived at the airport, within 4 hour. Snape had gone to the counter to get the tickets. "Dose you're uncle ever smile?" Robbie asked. "Only for me I guess." Jessica shrugged with a smile. "He sort of creepy." Said Andre. "And mean." Tori added. "His nose is big." Said cat. "And his hair is greasy." Beck added. "He's still my family." Jessica said sternly. Snape was on his way back. "I really dislike muggle travel. It's a complete waste of time." Snape sneered handing each of them the tickets. "Keep up and don't fall behind."
It wasn't long till they were all seated in the plain, and it was in the air. "So how long will it take to get to London?" Tori asked "It will take as long as it will take Miss Vega." Snape answered. "So what is Hogwarts like?" Cat asked sitting on the end of seat, playing with her hair. "It's lovely just wait till you see it. It's the most beautiful place on earth." Jessica said dreamily. "What kind of classes are we going to take?" asked Andre, Jessica smiled and sighed. "Well we all take transfiguration, charms, History of magic, Defense against the dark arts, and my favorite, potions."
"Who teaches that?" Asked Beck cautiously. "Why I do." Said Snape leaning back closing his eyes. "Oh boy." Tori whimpered. "Well you don't have to worry anything if you are in Slytherin." Jessica said reassuringly, with a giggle. "My uncle tends to favor them, but if you're in Gryffindor then you are out of luck." Then Jessica turned to Tori and whispered. "Snape hates Gryffindors. Between you and me I think he fears that one will swipe me away from him." "I heard that young lady." Said Snape coolly. "I thought at his age the old man wouldn't her us." Jessica giggled. "Old am I? I'll show you who's old. Come here you." Snape said grabbing Jessica and giving her noogies. Jessica started to laugh trying to get out of her uncle's grasp.
"Snape your getting you grease all over me!" Jessica laughed out, making Snape laugh and say. "You can't escape the love, of your uncle." If anyone else would have said that to Snape, he would have made them regret it, but he laughed for Jessica who was only kidding and, he knew she didn't really mind it at all.
