Chapter Ten: Snape's Shirt

"I'm bored." Lucius said, as they walked across the lawn.

"LET"S ROLL DOWN THE HILL!" Vic and Kelsey said simultaneously.

"Have you two lost what remains of your minds?" Severus queried.

"Sev, don't be so mature. It's fun!" Vic said, pulling him to the ground.

Kelsey, Vic, Lucius and Severus began to roll down the hill over and over again, until they were no longer able to neither be bored, nor walk a straight line. In the middle of Vic's turn, the Marauders showed up at the top of the hill. "What the blood hell are you doing?" Sirius asked, appalled. But as soon as he said this, he saw Lupin, and Pettigrew rolling down the hill towards Vic, followed by Snape. "Moony! What are you doing?"

Lupin ended up tumbling on top of Vic. "SPACE BUBBLE!" Vic screamed, pushing Lupin off of her.

"Geeze!" Lupin said as they both stumbled up. They were walking up the hill when Remus noticed the tag hanging out of Vic's shirt. Looking at it more closely, he found that it said: Severus Snape. "Hey Vic, why are you wearing Snape's shirt?"

"Oh, I never gave it back after he and I went in the boys bathroom and-"

"Oh, ewe! Don't even go any further! I can't believe it! You're involved with Snape? And you let him…touch… you? That's so gross! Aren't you afraid he'll leave grease stains on your skin?" Lupin said, revolted.

"No, you don't understand, we-"

"I don't even want to hear it! Let's go guys." He said, stalking off.

"Oh, good going, Vic, now everyone in school is going to think I'm banging you."

Vic thought for a minute. "It's not all that bad."

"What do you mean it's not that bad?" Lucius asked hysterically. " People actually think you're getting rather friendly with that."

"Do you think it would be any better if people thought I was having sex with you?" Vic asked.

"Of course it would be better. I am the prince of Slytherin. Severus is that one grease ball in class who everybody picks on."

"Hey!" Severus said, "Don't talk about me like that!"

" I'd have a relationship with Severus before I'd have a relationship with you, Lucius." Kelsey said.

"I think you're all making a big deal out of nothing. Severus and I are around each other all the time, would it come as any surprise to them that we were dating?" Vic said. "The only thing that I'm really worried about is Remus. He's the only decent Gryffindor amongst them, and now he's going to be mad at me."

"You just had to keep my shirt, didn't you, Peak?" Severus said, shaking his head.

"It's very comfortable, and no, I'm not giving it back now."

Vic got up three days after the whole incident, and got dressed in her usual jean/skirt t-shirt/dress shirt combo. As predicted, Vic and Severus were approached several times, and rumors were flying around like mad. Some said that the were going to get married this summer, others said that Snape was raping her, but the one Vic thought was the funniest was that she was pregnant with Severus' kid. Both thought that it was hysterical. Severus had never been the center of attention before, and he was quite enjoying it despite the subject matter. Vic walked down to the common room and found Severus sitting in front of the fire staring intently at something.

"Morning daddy." Vic said.

"Morning fuck buddy." Severus replied. " My mum heard the rumors. She says that I can go live with that skank I've been screwing and leave her and my father alone, you ungrateful man whore. It also says that my child had better be named after one of them, or they'll hunt me down and… er… oh yes, chop my dick off." Severus folded up the letter and put it in his pocket. "so, how are you?"
"Wait a minute, how can you just put it in your pocket and carry on a conversation like that with out crying. If I were kicked out of the house like that I'd fall to pieces."

"My parents kick me out of the house at least once a week. I'm not really surprised this is her reaction."

"Why don't you write her back and plead your case?"
"My mother won't listen. So, what's up with you?"

"Well, since yesterday at dinner I've received 3 wunzies, 2 hats, one pink and one blue, 5 baby blankets, and 10 vials of contraceptive potion. How about you?"
"16 howlers, 5 parenting books and 7 secret admirer letters saying that they've liked me all along, but didn't have the guts to say anything because their friends would never speak to them again."
"Not a bad haul. So, are we still on for our date tomorrow?"

"What are you talking about?" Snape said in shock.

"Sunday you asked me out. Are you going to follow through or am I going to have to refuse visitation rights to your kid?"

"I honestly do not remember what you are talking about." Snape said, blushing.

"Sunday. You were telling Lucius to ask that Ravenclaw girl out, and you shwoed him how easy it was by asking me out. Then I asked you if you were really asking me out or if you were just putting on a show for him, and you said that we could go if I wanted, and I have nothing more to do tomorrow, so I say yes."

"Oh, that. Well… I … fine. So, where are we going?"

"Since it's a Hogsmeade weekend I thought we could go up to the shrieking shack. It's so new! I can't believe it's really haunted already!"
