A/N: I know that the last chapter turned out to be pretty filler in the end. I had planned on making this chapter and the last one long one but it was getting really late and I was exhausted but I needed to get something new up so without further ado, finally, chapter 4.

Adilay and Lina waved and left the room. As they walked down the stairs, the adrenaline started pumping.

Lina smiled smugly to herself, Payback time….

Adilay and Lina raced through the corridors, making their way up to the third floor where Moaning Myrtle, the perpetually annoying ghost who haunted the school, made her "headquarters" in a long deserted girls' lavatory.

"What was that spell that you mentioned, Adilay?" Lina questioned as they hurried up the stairs, wanting to get this done with before nightfall so they would still have time to visit Alice.

"The knee reversal charm. I was thinking we'll hit him with the hover charm and quiet him then blast him with some pretty harmless hexes – knee reversal, densaugeo, furnunculus - whatever comes to us - but enough to get our point across. Then, in order that we aren't the only ones to get pleasure from this, we'll hover him to the great hall by way of the back corridor and leave him there for dinner time." Adilay answered as they turned left at the picture of Urquhart Rackharrow.

Elina stared at Adilay as she finished, somewhat shocked at the hatred that was steeped in her words, yet impressed all the same, "I can't stand him either, Adi, and that sounds like a good plan to me, but….you sound really angry…."

Adilay stopped and turned to Lina, "You didn't see her…she was…I've never seen her like that….ever. You know Lily, she doesn't cry easily or get upset and she was….he really messed things up…."

Lina hugged her friend and rubbed her back, "It'll be ok. Lily will be just fine. We'll take care of the git and you'll see, by next year that Snape will just be an ugly memory. We are here for her. She'll get over this. It's like you said, Lily is strong. This is harsh, but she'll be fine."

Adilay squeezed Lina and then pulled back, "Let's do this, okay?"

"Right."

The two girls walked hand in hand towards the room that they had seen Snape sitting in. They pulled out their wands.

"As soon as we get in there, we disarm him and then hex him so that he can't talk and get him up in the air." Lina nodded along in agreement and pushed open the door.

Severus Snape's head shot up at the sound of the door being swung open. He stared at the girls in confusion, his face streaked with tears.

"Expelliarmus," Lina caught the wand that flew towards her with ease as Adilay glued Snape's tongue to the roof of his mouth so that he was unable to speak.

"Excelsiosempra," Adilay hoisted him into the air and shook her wand about, causing Snape to fly from side to side like a drunken marionette. "Now then, you are going to get a little taste of what we think of you Snivellus. Lina?" Adilay kept her wand pointed at Snape, keeping him in the air as she gestured at Lina to begin, Lina being more adept at hexes than Adilay.

"Densaugeo, furunculous," Lina hit Snape with hex after hex – the Bat-Bogey hex, the toenail lengthening charm, the hair balding curse – as Adilay watched, from time to time mentioning a hex to use, but mostly staring intently at the boy hanging in midair before them. She looked into her eyes and what she saw there astonished her. There was no trace of anger or even humiliation as she had expected – not even the slightest hint of a desire or wish to fight back. There was only sadness and pain and even a sort of thanks; as if he was glad for this punishment.

After a good ten minutes of nonstop hexing, Adilay touched Elina's arm, "Right. I think that's enough." Lina lowered her wand and both girls took a step back to admire their handiwork. The formerly greasy haired bat-like boy now resembled a very oily headed gorilla with fangs. Adilay guided Snape out of the room, her wand still on him, holding him in the air, and headed towards the staircase that would lead them to the Great Hall without much chance of encountering anyone. The two girls walked silently down the stair, both absorbed in their own thoughts.

Adilay was very much confused. She could not make sense of what she had seen in those black, dark eyes and a part of her – granted a very small part – felt some sense of pity for this floating gorilla. Elina on the other hand was completely enthralled with her artistry. She had in some way, redeemed Lily. Like Lily has and would have done for me.

The two girls came to the door at the end of the staircase and Lina cracked it open to check if there were people around. Fortunately, it was nearing suppertime and all were still occupied in their respective towers. She bent down and tucked Snape's wand into a corner of the doorway and then made way for Adilay to hover Snape into the Hall where he would be on full view. Adilay placed their victim smack in the middle of the Hall where he would surely not be missed and then turned back to the back staircase.

"Let's go to Alice before Madame Pomfrey won't let us in." Adilay suggested. Lina agreed and they made their way back up the stairs to the infirmary. They walked again without speaking. When they were about to enter the corridor leading to the Hospital Wing, Adilay put her hand out, blocking Lina's way.

"What is it?" Lina asked.

"It's just – we did the correct thing, right? We weren't cruel, were we? I mean, are we any better than Snape or his gang of Slytherins when they drive some poor bloke mad?" Adilay's brow was furrowed in worry.

"Of course we are! They do what they do for sport; it's merely a fun game for them. What he did today to Lily was unacceptable and he had to be punished and we are Lily's best friends – if we didn't who would?"

"I'm not necessarily regretting hexing him, but leaving him in the Great Hall like that, to be humiliated in front of the entire school – it's really mean Lina. I want…I think we should go back and change him back, before it is too late. He'll know that he got what he deserved and maybe that's all that matters. And…"

"What, Adilay?"

"I don't think that Lily will appreciate it when we go down for dinner and he's hanging there, I don't think she'll like it at all." Adilay finished.

Lina's eyes turned stormy, "But that was the plan! We both agreed! You came up with most of it!"

"I know what I said, I know what we did. I was really, I still am, really upset, but I'm thinking more rationally now and I honestly don't believe that to leave him there is the right or smart thing to do."

"Brilliant," Lina huffed, "I suppose your right, though. But if we are going to fix this we have to hurry." She looked down at the muggle watch Lily had given her for her birthday, "It's nearly supper. We have five minutes!"

Both girls dashed back to the stairs and rushed down them, nearly tripping over their long robes and somersaulting down the rest of the way. They made it to the bottom and shoved open the doors. Snape the balding gorilla was still hanging in air obviously and Adilay and Lina looked in horror at the grand staircase as a hoard of students came into view. A few students at the head of the mass had already caught sight of the scene and where heading around the corner to get a better view. Adilay whipped out her wand and, pointing it at Snape, quickly led him into a nearby broom cupboard, locking it with a complicated charm. Lina and Adilay whirled their wands in the air, working to change Snape to his original appearance. After a few minutes, Snape, the greasy haired Slytherin boy, was again standing next to them, in total and utter shock at what they had just done.

"Right then, your wand is across the way near the back stairs. I'll be right back." Lina slipped out of the cupboard and sprinted to the staircase, grabbed Snape's wand and made her way back. She noticed a few third years standing and looking interestedly at her actions.

"Here," Lina thrust the wand towards Snape and he took it gratefully, still too confused to form any coherent words.

"We are going to go now. Stay here for a bit so people don't see us three walking out of here all together." Lina ordered, "And to be straight, this has nothing to do with us bloody liking you, Merlin no, or forgiving you. We still hate you and if you ever try to hurt Lily again, we won't be so pitying next time. I'd still watch my back if I were you – and thank Merlin I'm not – because I at least may not be through with you for this time." Lina stalked out of the broom cupboard.

Behind her Adilay turned to Snape and said, "We only did this because no matter what you have done, Lily would have been furious if she had seen like that when she came down here. Everything Elina said stands true, for me as well." Adilay began to leave, but Snape held her back, "Um…"

"Well? Anything?" Adilay demanded. She shook her head and tried to leave again but Snape grabbed her arm. Adilay slapped it away, "Don't touch me." She looked into Snape's eyes and added, "I don't feel bad for you, I'm sorry, but I just don't. You did something atrocious. Now, good bye, and keep away from Lily."

Adilay spun on her heels and walked out of the broom cupboard, letting the door slam behind her, leaving Severus Snape to slump to the floor and cry. She went to the back staircase, assuming Lina was waiting there and entered to find Lina indeed standing there, taping her foot impatiently, "What happened to you?"

"I needed to give him a little piece of my mind too, didn't I?" Adilay responded with a smile and linked arms with Lina. "Now, let's go to Alice, shall we?"

Lina nodded and they raced each other up the stairs, both of their hearts much lighter.

A/N: I know this chapter isn't that long either, but I am already in the middle of the next one, I just like to stop them at convenient points. If it gets to be annoying I'll try to start making them longer. It's all gonna be there in the end, just separately. PLEASE review! It makes my day
