Oh, and the portrait of Mrs. Riddle could talk because Voldie's mom gave it to Tom as a present for his mother before he left her.

They kept it in that room b/c/ they didn't want it up with the normal house. k?

***********************************************************************

Aeryn's head was pounding as if she had been struck by the Knight

Bus. Not that that was any different from her usual headaches, but it

hurt none the less.

" Aeryn, please wake up. I'm waiting." said a voice as if from a

very long distance.

'Remus?' She thought weakly, holdin up her hands to the darkness

that consumed her sight. Her hands came into contact with warm skin.

" Your...ok..." she said quietly.

"Lumos." he whispered, and the room suddenly seemed to gain a

little light. Remus Lupin's face was dusty, as if he'd been sitting in one

place for a long time, like a doll. Gently, he lifted her up into a sitting

position.

" Are you hurt badly?" Aeryn shook her head. She only felt some

bruises from falling, but nothing serious.

" What WERE you thinking, going after Professor Dumbledore like

that???" He said, a frown now on his face.

" We...were going to get Professor Mcgonagall and Harry out while he fought

that woman. Then there'd be no distractions for her to use against him." She looked

up at Remus, who looked dumbstruck.

" I....I'm sorry Remus...." She said, tears forming in her eyes immediatly. She

hadn't meant to do something stupid by helping the headmaster. Suddenly, warm

arms were holding her.

" I know. I was just so worried about you all. You especially." She immediatly

hugged him back, allowing herself a smile.

" Why, thank you." She laughed, still hugging him. He finally let go, and she

lay back against the wall.

" Well, now that you've been propert chastied, let's go." Panicking, Aeryn

leaned forward swiftly, grabbing his hand. When he turned, she struck..........

And pecked him on the cheek (A/N: Hehee).

" What......"

" Thank you." Her smile made him smile too. Aeryn yawned, remebering

that it must be late by now, but she stopped. Opening her eyes, Remus Lupin

was inches from her.

" May I have permission to do what I think I should do?" She blinked, then

realized what he meant.



' Wow. What a guy to ask first.' She nodded, then leaned into the cutest kiss

she'd ever had.

********************************************************************

" You blundering girl!!"

" You overgrown bat!"

Isis clenched her teeth. She was not enjoying the company she was in as well as Aeryn

was, on the contrary, she was furious.

" You could have been killed! What if that rogue Death Eater had killed you?"

Severus Snape was just as upset as she was, if not more, at what had happened. The

two of them had woken up in a... compromising situation only to remember what had

caused the sudden change of scenery. Of course, with two Slytherin personalitites in

one bad situation, one can easily guess what happened.

" So? You think I'm a coward? I'm not letting our Headmaster run into a trap

that will kill hope for us all??!!" He glared at her murderously.

"Are you sure your not going to be one of Mcgonagall's bloody Lions?"

She gasped, looking affronted by the insinuation.

" Me? A bloody Lion?! How DARE..URGH!" She turned away, grumbleing

under her breath.

" I can't belive I bought that damn plushie of you.....what a waste." Luckily,

her voice was loud enough for him to hear. She looked back at a furiously blushing

Potions Master. Realizing what to do, she began to fake her tears.

" Isis, I'm...I..um...SORRY , OK?!?!?!?!" She froze.

" Good. Now that you've apologized for your behavior, let's find the others."

" MY BEHAVIOR? Your the idiot who ran off and scared the shit out of--"

He stopped, agast with what he let slip.

' Good one Severus.' he said to himself, or whatever part of him admitted that

SOMEONE was important to him.

" I'm sorry........for worrying you. Glad you care though." Isis turned around,

grinning at him.



" Now let's go! I'm fine, so no worries, right?"She said sweetly

Severus looked at her angrily. Isis gulped, sensing something wrong. Five steps

had him glaring at her a step away. In a flash, he grabbed her wrist, pulling her

towards him.

" This may cost me my job, but god damnit, you made me." And he kissed

her on the lips.

' X_X As Karuri would say, orooooooo'
