Chapter 3
I own nothing but my brain, it escaped last week. If you've seen it please send it back.
All six of them walked into the airport and everyone turned to look. Snape stood dark and towering next to a tiny Professor Flitwick. Trelawney was not much better with her flowing robes of green and purple. Hagrid drew the most attention and hid the rest of the staff. In all they looked very odd grouped together in the lobby of the muggle airport.
"Perhaps we should go and change into more appropriate attire?" commented McGonagall. "I guess that would be a wise decision." Dumbledore responded.
He pulled out a bag and presented it to the five witches and wizards in front of him.
They looked at him for a moment as if to question what he was doing. Then Hagrid finally spoke up. "What have you got in the bag professor?" Dumbledore grinned and replied "You will see. I have selected some muggle clothing for you to wear." Snape sneered at the bag Dumbledore held in his hand as if the bag had just insulted him.
"I assure you Severus the clothing will not hurt you." Snape looked shocked for a moment then quickly fixed a bored expression over his face.
Everyone took clothing from the bag and went to go change. McGonagall headed to the bathroom with a red pants suit and Trelawney followed closely behind with a purple dress shirt and skirt to match. Dumbledore pulled out a tie dye tee shirt and some faded jeans he looked hilarious. Snape was horrified that he might get something similar. At last everyone had gotten their clothing. Flitwick was in a pinstriped suit and Hagrid had on a giant jean jacket and a pair of jeans with a tee shirt. Snape reached inside the bag and pulled out a black Green Day tee shirt and black jeans. He raised his eyebrow at the clothing that had been chosen for him. He reached back inside and pulled out a pair of black tennis shoes. Just as he pulled his hand out the bag disappeared with a POP. He looked around to see if anyone had noticed, But no one was paying attention to them any more.
When they boarded the plane everyone took their assigned seats. Snape immediately grabbed a pillow and shoved it under his head. "Wake me up when we get to California."
"Severus, we still have to take off. You might want to put on your seat belt." Snape opened one eye and replied "What do you mean? How does this 'air plane' work?"
McGonagall laughed. "You will see soon enough."
The woman sitting in front of Snape turned around and smiled at him. "Hello my name is April. Is this your first time on an air plane?" Snape gave her a glare that obviously meant that she should turn around and mind her own business. She didn't seem to notice. "We will lift off any minute now, that will be a little bumpy but once we get up in the air we should be fine." She continued.
"The air" Snape repeated quietly, a look of horror crossing his face. The thought of how the 'air plane' would get to California had not crossed his mind. Flying made sense
McGonagall noticed the change in behavior in the man seated next to her. He went from calm and relaxed to almost panicked. He whispered to her "Minerva, you didn't tell me this thing flies!" She looked surprised for a moment. "Severus, I was under the impression that you knew what an air plane was. And why would flying be a problem?" she asked.
Snape didn't answer he had his head pressed against the back of the seat and his fingers were digging into the arm rests. Dumbledore leaned over from two seats over and said. "Don't worry Severus you're perfectly safe, just don't look down." Snape looked to his right and to his complete and utter horror discovered a window. He fumbled for his carry on luggage and searched frantically through its contents until he pulled out a small blue vile. He unscrewed the top and drank the entire thing. "Severus I believe the airline would like its passengers to refrain from committing suicide until after the plain has landed." Dumbledore said with a grin. "Sod off" replied Snape right before his head fell to the side and he began to snore.
AN: I have never been on a plane or to an airport please forgive any mistakes. And please review it gives me the courage to continue.
