It was late now around 10pm in Snape's home, again he was curled up and happy with a good book in his favourite arm chair. There's was no sound in the room at all it was peaceful, nothing could have spoiled this perfect moment. Except for the constant vibrations coming from the floor, the house was quite literally shaking. Severus had decided to take one of Scorpius' smartass remarks quite literally, after he chased said young wizard through the door he transfigured a hallway table into a giant pair of wind up chattering teeth that were now chasing him through the house. Snape had then calmly walked into the living room placing wards in the doorway so he could not get in where he was and put up Silencing charms after losing the amusement of just sitting there and listening to the boys girlish high pitched screams echoing through the rest of the house.
The teeth would not harm him, much, just a small nip that would be uncomfortable not enough pressure to leave bruises but it scared the pants off the kid all the same. Scorpius was learning quickly not to test 'Uncle' Snape. Many times he had tried to go into the living room and was rebounded off the invisible wards before running off with the chattering teeth close behind.
Snape checked his watch again it was 11:30pm, it was his bedtime now, he waved his wand and released the wards and charms. The screaming was hoarse now and they were coming closer, Scorpius ran inside the living room and behind Snape who had a triumphant smirk on his face. The teeth entered the doorway and snape pointed his wand at the pair of dentures. "Revertor" The teeth transformed back into the table. "Ready for bed or do you want a few more laps around my house?" He asked walking forward and levitating the table back into place.
"Yes." Scorpius said stiffly. "Wait until my father hears about this."
"Your father said the same thing and never gained independence until a very old age." He led him up the stairs and opened the door. The room was dusty and old looking, pieces of parchment were scattered on the floor and cobwebs lined the ceiling "I don't have many guests over as you can see." He figured he should at least make it look more presentable and waved his wand.
All the dust began disappearing and the parchment was stacking neatly on the bookshelf with a few books. The lamp on the bedside table began to flicker illuminating the green bed sheets which became clean and wrinkle free. "Make any mess and you'll be cleaning it by hand."
Scorpius walked inside and placed his trunks at the foot of the bed and got changed into his pyjama's. He slumped into bed and fell asleep.
It was 12:45am when Scorpius awoke, his vision was blurred from the street lights outside coming in from the window and got up to close the blinds. His vision focused enough to make out an outline in the window, he squinted at it and turned to go to Snape's room. He noticed the end door slightly open and entered. Inside was a magnificent room, a four poster bed with green and black banner's silk bed sheets and dark stained wood bedroom furniture. In the bed was Snape.
"Uncle Sev." Called Scorpius, the man jolted in his sleep and sat up. "What?"
"There's a crazy cat lady outside my bedroom window, may I throw something heavy at her?"
"What?" He got up and followed Scorpius into his room and peered through the window. There was nothing there. "Scorpius if this is a joke-" He then spotted the nutty lady down the street run back to her home. I could use that to an advantage. "Go to sleep."
"What if she comes back?"
"Then throw something at her, and make sure it hits her the first time I don't want you throwing more of my stuff at her than you need to."
Severus returned to his room and fell back asleep in moments. At 1:30AM Scorpius snuck downstairs to put his plan into action, with him was a bag of tricks. He had brought some of Weasley's Wizard Wheesze's with him and this was payback time.
He put a Canary cream in the cookie jar been which was filled with an assortment of small pastries. Took out skiving snackbox and emptied the contents in the sweet jar. The rest would be deployed tomorrow. Silently he made his way up the stairs to meet Snape in the hallway. "Hello." He got no reply from the potions master who was breathing deeply. "Ohh this is perfect."
He led Snape outside and around the neighbourhood to a shaded spot outside somebody's home. There was garbage cans and litter but that would all add for an effect. "Okay Uncle Sev this is your bed," He helped him sit down and then lay back onto a garbage bag. "Thats it." Then he tip toed to the door and knocked loudly on it before sprinting back into Snape's house and locking it. He then went to the window to watch.
A woman opened the door and looked around, eventually her eyes settled on Snape. "Oh you dirty bugger! Get!" She reached for an umbrella and took a swing at him.
Snape's eyes opened and rolled just in time to miss the umbrella. "What the?" The second swing hit him though and he got up. "What are you doing?"
"No hobos in front of my house you washed up greasy haired hobo!" She then relented on her swinging. "If I catch you infront of my house again you'll be in bigger trouble." She then turned around and slammed the door shut.
Snape then got his bearings and realized he wasn't in his house. "That little." He ran back to his house a murderous look on his face and turned the door handle which was locked. "Open up!"
"In the words of some muggle that went on some sort of hunger strike, Make me." Scorpius went upstairs and climbed into bed, Snape couldn't get in now. He laid back down and closed his eyes.
Snape took out his wand and took down all the charms on the front door and entered, he had thought up a little plan while banging on the door so he calmly and quietly stepped into Scorpius' room. Said younger wizard was sleeping and completely unaware of anything going around him. If Severus was right he was like his father and could sleep through anything, he took out his wand and pointed it at his head. He wordlessly cast a charm onto the boy and left to go back to sleep.
What Sort of Mayhem will be in the next Chapter I wonder? =D Sorry for being so late D: I kept getting sidetracked this story was done right after I did Chapter Two mostly, Chapter 4 should be out soon.
Thank you to Kurioda and Tsarina13 for being my first 2 Subs for this story. It's really good motivation.
