DISCLAIMER: Nothing belongs to me besides Tsubaki and the weird plot-line I somehow invented.

Yes, there will be LGBT action happening later on in the series. Don't like it, you can leave it. Also, many things may be different than the original world of Harry Potter, but whatever. This is an alternate universe.

Chapter 10~

Tsubaki was at her home in London, on her computer, bored as heck.

So she made up her mind, and sent a letter to Lily.

Dear Lily,

Hello, Tsubaki here ^-^
How are you? It's been really boring over here. Are you and Petunia still fighting? If so, tell her I said screw her. And be sure to tell her my status while at it, ha. I've made up my mind. I'm going to Sev's place to pick him up, and I'll find a place for us to stay. I can come pick you up while at it ^-^
Do you know where he lives? Rhetorical question. I'm sending him an owl after I get your answer from Kaminari.
Hope you have a good summer! See you at the platform.

Tsubaki

She took Kaminari from her cage, tied her letter to her foot, and sent her off to Lily's.

Lily's answer came in a few hours.

Hello, Tsubaki,

I'm fine, thank you. Sorry to hear your summer hasn't been very eventful. Happy early birthday!
Are you sure about staying at a hotel? I'm not sure that's a good idea. Yes, Petunia and I are still fighting, and no, I will not tell her that you said screw her. I have no idea where Severus lives. You might want to send him an owl. Make sure his parents don't get it though. I heard his father can get nasty.
See you at the platform too!

Lily

Tsubaki smiled. She grabbed another paper and wrote to Severus.

Dear Sev,

Konnichiwa from Tsubaki ^-^
Hope you're okay. Where do you live? Send your reply as fast as possible with Kaminari. I will teleport over- Yes, teleport, not Aperate.- and come to get you whether you and your parents like it or not.
See you!

Tsu

She tied the letter to Kaminari, and sent her off.

Severus's reply came minutes later. Either he was really fast at writing, or they lived really close. Tsubaki took it off Kaminari's foot, put her back in her cage, and fed her.

Tsu,

I live on Spinner's End, Cokeworth. I'm not entirely sure that's a good idea, but I know you won't listen to me either way. I'm not okay, but we'll talk soon, I guess.

Sev

Tsubaki smiled again. She would set off tomorrow, she decided.

Tsubaki woke up at seven in the morning, and scribbled a note to her parents.

I have gone to go to my friend's. I will be fine, everyone knows how 'powerful' I am. No need to 'worry', I can get to King's Cross by myself just fine. I will teleport. Have a good rest of the summer.

Tsubaki

She magically packed all her stuff (no wand, just some simple natural magic.) into her suitcase, took Kaminari in one hand, took all her muggle money, and teleported to Spinner's End.

A few seconds and a whish and she was standing in front of a building she could only assume was Severus's house. Dragging her suitcase and Kaminari behind her, she approached the doorstep, and rung the doorbell. A tall and thin muscular man answered. He looked like he wanted to frighten Tsubaki, but Tsubaki, being Tsubaki, was immune to this and stared back at him with a blank face. "Ohaiyo. sorry to bother, but does Severus Snape live here?" Tsubaki asked. The man grunted, nodded, and shouted into the house, "SEVERUS! SOMEONE'S LOOKING FOR YOU!"

Seconds later, Severus sprinted down the stairs, and was at the doorway. he saw Tsubaki, and blushed slightly. "Got your things packed?" She asked Severus. "I'm sorry, what?" The man looked confused and angry at the same time. "Um, no, actually." Severus said nervously.

"Well then," Tsubaki said triumphantly, "may I come in?"

"Uh..." The man seemed now enraged and hesitant, but as Tsubaki gave off a threatening aura, said, "fine."

Tsubaki levitated her luggage and Kaminari's cage and went in the house, leaving the man at the doorstep looking very confused.

Severus lead her to his room, which was very messy. But with the flick of her finger, everything he needed organised itself into Severus's trunk, which Tsubaki also levitated.

"C'mon Sev." She said, as she lead Severus out the door. "Wait!" Called Severus's now-furious father. "You are NOT taking him anywhere without my permission!"

Tsubaki turned around, giving him her famous piercing-calm glare. "Oh really? Do you want to test that?" Tsubaki said in a threatening and haunting tone. He recoiled. "That's what I thought." Tsubaki turned away, grabbed Severus's arm, and teleported.

They were now facing a very tall structure, and on it said "Silver Villa Hotel" and had five tiny golden stars under it.

They themselves were in an alleyway, their floating luggage still behind them. "C'mon Sev, lets grab our luggage. We're still in muggle territory." Tsubaki instructed, grabbing her own. "My goodness, Tsu, you teleported us to a five-star hotel?!" Severus said, grabbing his trunk as well. Tsubaki nodded, as she made Kaminari and her cage invisible.

They walked in, and Severus was amazed. The lobby interior of Silver Villa was incredible. A fountain was in the middle, decorated with silvery-blue pebbles, and there was gold everywhere. Tsubaki seemed to have been here before, as the person at the desk said, "Ah, Miss Natatsuka! Back again!" and hugged her. "Hello, Mrs. Tzuyu." Tsubaki said politely.

(Credit for the name goes to Somin, my friend)

"Same room?" Mrs. Tzuyu asked, pulling out a pen, getting ready to write something down a large binder. "Sadly no. I have a friend with me today." Tsubaki explained. Severus nodded. "Ooh, a boyfriend?" Mrs. Tzuyu asked suggestively. "Oh, no, no! We're just friends." Tsubaki and Severus both blushed. "I recommend room 5,647 on floor five." Mrs. Tzuyu said, clearly still smiling. Tsubaki nodded, and took out her wallet. She pulled out a whole stack of muggle money so huge, Severus nearly toppled over, wondering how a pre-teen like Tsubaki could possibly have that much money. "Ah, know the price by heart?" Mrs. Tzuyu laughed, and took the money. However, instead of keeping all of it, she passed a bunch of it back to Tsubaki. "I'll give you the 'Regular Customer Discount', you've been here so many times, most of us are familiar with you." She said, smiling. Tsubaki shook her head. "No, no, take it. You can't do that!" She said. Mrs. Tzuyu shoved the money back into Tsubaki's purse. "Take it hon, I insist."

Tsubaki smiled and thanked her, then took her room key, and beckoned Severus to follow her.

They took the escalator ("Muggle technology is really... something." Severus gasped.) up to floor five, and Tsubaki scanned her room key on the doorknob. It opened. She turned on the lights to the hotel room, levitated all their luggage in, and closed the door. She stacked her luggage neatly by her bed, and put Severus's luggage by his bed.

She flung herself onto her own bed and sighed. "Silver Villa has the most advanced muggle technology. That's why everything is so wonderful." She said, sitting up.

"How did you-"

"Get so much money?" Tsubaki finished for Severus.

He nodded.

"Parents. Dad's rich. They give me hundreds for like, every holiday. They don't like me though. It's just to shut me up about their abuse."

"Have you-"

"Been here before? Yes, I have. Sometimes for a getaway, sometimes with my parents."

Tsubaki got up. "Do your best to enjoy yourself. I did not get this room for a month for nothing." She smiled, as she went into the kitchen area.
