Chapter 7
A/N: The letters before this (A/N) will no longer be in italics, because I am just too lazy to italicize them. Sorry, just had to say it. Anyway, here is chapter seven in my apparently AMAZING story (okay, not AMAZING, but for sure aMaZiNg, and that is pretty good!)…
"I- how can- when did- are you two- AHH!" Harry yelled in frustration. Magnolia Crescent was staring at him, and so was everyone else, and Snape and Crescent were both smiling at him meanly. Neither Harry nor anyone else around him besides the two Snape's understood what in the world had just happened. No one had expected Snape to have a bloody sister.
"Let me guess- you were about to say 'I can't believe it!' and then it mixed with 'how can it be possible?' and then 'When did I miss this fact?' followed by the conclusion statement: 'Are you two twins?'. Is that right, Mr. Potter? Except that your frustration caused you to want to scream out in misunderstanding, so you did?" Crescent hissed and then laughed a little at the look on Harry's face. That had been what he had tried to say. This lady was very strange. It was for sure that she could read minds.
"Um…" Harry said unsurely. The others- including Snape- seemed just as surprised as Harry. "Yea…" He said finally. "So… why are you here?" Harry asked. She sat down. Harry and the others did so too- Snape also sat back down, against the wall.
"Because," She told them, "I had this strange feeling that people I knew and loved were in danger. I guessed correctly." She said. "Even thought Sev here isn't the greatest brother." She added brutally.
"What do you mean by that?" Asked Violet. Harry felt her holding his hand and he blushed.
"Well, Sev didn't even show up to mine and Arc's wedding!" She hissed. Snape rolled his eyes.
"I was busy, Magi." He said coolly.
"Doing what, exactly? Doing more bidding for the Dark Lord?" She yelled at him. "Severus, you were inconsiderate and rude!"
"Well, first off, I was not with the Dark Lord in any way, shape, or form!" Snape yelled at her. "And second of all, I HATED Arc. He was an idiot and he was very rude to me!" Snape added.
"But I loved Arc! It made me upset Severus-" She began.
"WOAH, WAIT!" Harry yelled, as he was tiered of just listening.
"Alright, who is Arc?" Klaus asked from behind Harry.
"Arc Crescent. He is my husband." Magnolia said quietly to them. She frowned deeper than she just was.
"Where is he?" Hermione asked quietly. Everyone nodded, also wondering.
"Um… well, he is back at home." Magnolia said even quieter. She looked even sadder now.
"Well, why isn't he here with you?" Harry asked. Snape vigorously shook his head 'no', but Harry hadn't seen that until after he had asked. He wondered why Snape was doing that. Everyone was quiet, staring at Magnolia. Tears brimmed her eyes.
"Um… I meant to say that Arc was my husband." She said quietly- in only a whisper. Everyone was silent and appalled, except Snape, who was looking quite guilty… she laughed in sadness a little and continued: "He, well, he died. About 15 years ago, to be approximate. Or, he really didn't die; he was murdered." She told them sadly. Now Harry felt horrible for bringing it up. At those last words she said, though, she threw Snape an evil glare. Snape looked even guiltier.
"It was an accident, Magnolia. I was under the Imperius curse. I swear." Snape said. Now Harry and the other's were really confused. Magnolia looked like she could kill Snape at any moment.
"Sure you were." She huffed.
"WHAT?" Everyone except the twins asked together. She sighed heavily.
"Severus here murdered Arc. MY HUSBAND, FOR MERLIN'S SAKE!" She yelled, quite unhappy. "I just- I don't want to talk about it anymore, thank you very much." She said again.
"Um… we better get into a building, before Olaf over there wakes up." Violet said quickly, looking over at Olaf who was still twitching there on the ground. Everyone nodded and stood up. Harry couldn't help but feel bad for Crescent; losing someone you love does hurt a lot. He wondered how much more horrible it was when you realized your own brother had done it.
And with that, the group, Snape being helped by Violet, rushed into the nearest building- and just in time- just as Olaf began to wake up slowly.
A/N: I am sorry it is so short. This chapter was so short because I just wanted a shorter chapter about Arc Crescent a little bit. More in the next chapters, so don't be distressed, and remember: R&R, NO FLAMES!
