Reason #10: Snape Losing His Baggage Equals Trouble
"What do you mean my baggage is missing?"
Snape was at the airport information desk complaining to a representative after his baggage did not arrive in the terminal after returning from Germany.
"I'm sorry sir, our records indicate that your baggage did not arrive," the woman behind the counter says.
"Woman, do you know what was in my baggage?" Snape says to the woman behind the counter.
"I'm sorry sir, there is nothing we can do about your lost luggage. Might I suggesting that you file a claim for a cash refund?" the woman says.
"Cash refund? Forget it, I'll investigate this myself," Snape says, walking away from the counter in a huff.
Later…
Snape was back in the baggage claim area after the crowds around the terminal had died down.
"The coast seems to be clear…"
Snape then hastily climbs onto the revolving baggage conveyor belt and made his way up the ramp where the baggage came out of.
Snape soon found himself in the airport baggage warehouse, where mounds upon mounds of lost baggage lie unclaimed. He slides down the ramp and began searching for his own, eventually finding it in the corner.
"Aha! There's my luggage!" Snape says with a grin as he went to retrieve it. "So the airport seems to be hording baggage from the other passengers. I could sue the airlines and buy my own plane once I tell authorities about this."
"Yeah, you could, but who would believe you?" says a voice from behind Snape.
Snape turns around and stands face to face with the representatives of the British Airlines.
"So you've found out about our plot," says the president of the British airlines.
"Just what are you up to?" Snape demands to the men.
"What are we up to? The question should be what are you up to. You've been causing us nothing but trouble ever since you began flying on our planes. So we've decided to intercept your luggage and see if we can find anything illegal to use against you," the president continues.
"They're lucky I forgot to pack my Muggle Zapper…" Snape thinks to himself. "Let me guess, you want me back in jail…" Snape responds.
"Correct. After we lost that court case, our company lost millions of dollars. Now, give up, Severus Snape, there is no escape!" the president says as he and his corporate goons began closing in on Snape.
"Damn…" Snape says, not knowing how to escape.
Just then, a loud crashing noise was heard from behind all of them.
"Hey! You mess with him, you gotta go though me first!"
Everyone turned around to see Vernon Dursley charging right toward the corporate guys, knocking them over like bowling pins.
Snape had a 'what the hell' look on his face.
"Vernon Dursley? What are you doing here? Please don't tell me you're part of this plot too…" Snape says to Vernon.
"No way! The only reason I came back because I know that these guys were plotting against you back when I was a security guard here. And no one's gonna mess with you except for me, got it? Now get out of here while you still can before I change my mind and kick your ass right here and now!" Vernon says as he kept the representatives occupied.
Snape hesitates for a moment, before finally making himself flee the baggage warehouse.
Later...
Snape was back in the main area of the airport.
"This is getting too weird. I wonder when Dumbledore will reinstate my wizardry license so I can travel via magic again…" Snape says to himself.
Suddenly, he was stopped by airport security.
"Sir, our cameras caught you unlawfully entering the baggage housewares a while back. I'm afraid you'll have to come with us for questioning," says one of the security personnel.
"Of for the love of…" Snape grumbles as he was apprehended again.
Snape was charged for unlawful entrance to a restricted area of the airport and fined a hefty sum on money. At this point, Snape had one more flight he needed to take before his wizardry license would be reinstated. Can he do this successfully without getting into any more trouble?
