Chapter Twelve: The Truth?
"So, Snape, how are Vic and the baby doing?" A Hufflepuff 6th year asked.
"There is no baby, but Vic's doing fine. As a matter of fact she was rather chipper this morning." Snape told her.
"What happened to the baby?" she asked in a panicked voice.
"There never was one. That was a rumor." Snape said for the 7th time that day. He was finally able to settle down at the long Slytherin house table for breakfast. As Severus was putting marmalade on a piece of toast the girls came to sit at the table. As Vic sat down with a thud, she repeatedly whapped he head against the table. Without even looking up, Severus said, " Giving yourself a headache isn't going to help the matter. What happened?"
Vic looked up and sighed, "A really cute guy said that he heard that we broke up, and I still had the baby and he was willing to act as it's father, and would I go out with him on the next Hogsmeade trip."
"And what did you tell him?"
"The truth." Vic cried, "And once I told him that I wasn't pregnant, he wasn't interested! Why must Lupin make a big fuss about everything? Why couldn't he have let me explain, and just let it go?"
" Er, there there." Snape said patting her back awkwardly across the table.
Lucius sat down at the table and gave Kelsey a quizzical look. "Don't ask." She mouthed to him.
Severus looked to the door of the great hall and found Lupin entering, looking a bit weak, but nonetheless this had to stop. He got up from his seat and made his way to the Gryffindor table. "Well hello, Snivlly." Sirius said.
"Good morning Lupin, may I talk with you?" He said shortly.
"Oh, I'm sorry, were you talking to me? I have no capacity for the likes of you. Why don't you go run along to your little skank." Remus said coldly.
Severus' blood boiled with anger. "You know bloody well that she would never give herself to anyone like that so I suggest you come down from your little self righteous pedestal! Perhaps when you've stopped breathing thin air your sense will come back to you! I can't believe you wouldn't even listen to her! You don't know what happened, Lupin! You can't say anything! All this over her borrowing my shirt! Bloody Hell!" He yelled at him. The whole great hall was staring at them. "That's right, you bleeding buggers! She borrowed my shirt! That's how it all got started, so you can stop sending us baby stuff! Sod off!" Severus stormed out of the Great Hall, leaving the student body buzzing with conversation.
Vic saw the tail of Severus' cloak billowing behind him and found that this sort of rage is best left to cool down for a while. She merely heaved a sigh and put her head in her hands.shack. It's so new! I can't believe it's really haunted already!"
