I do not own anything Harry Potter JKR does. I own everything else. I am sorry if it seems like this story is dragging it's really not I have to put things in place so there is some background so that when I get to the other chapters you will understand what's going on. Now the next few chapters I am experimenting with several ideas that I haven't seen anyone else do so I hope you enjoy them. Please let me know what you think. Thank you for your reviews.
Chapter 13 in with the new
A lone figure stood in the darkness on a lonely stretch of road. The black chromed Harley gleamed in the street light. The tall figure looked around and pulled a map to pinpoint their location. Once done they snapped their fingers and the map disappeared turning into a small ball of light. The person climbed back on the big bike straddling it between powerful legs. The bike roared like a dragon in the silence.
Merlina and Snape stood studying each other. Merlina took her stance while Snape stood with his feet shoulder width apart fists raised. His cold black eyes were watching her every move. He ignored the jibes from Sirius, Lupin, and the rest of the gang. They had gathered to see the two spar. She waited watching him carefully. They circled each other. The small crowd was getting impatient. "Come on Lina kick his ass!!" John hollered.
Snape sneered at her. "Yes Lina do kick my ass." She gave him a guarded look. "Are you sure that's what you want?" He snorted. "If you think you can do it." She sneered at him. "You first." He swung at her. She blocked it with her arm. She closed in on him with several kicks. He blocked and dodged every one. 'Damn,' she thought, 'if he keeps this up he could prove to be a problem.' He lunged for her she blocked him delivering a kick to his midriff. He blocked it easily. Merlina was beginning to think she had met her match. She ducked a punch. "Hay Severous!!" He caught her arm glaring at her. "What do I get if I win?" He snorted. "What do I get if I win darling?" She grinned evilly as she hooked his leg sending him crashing to the ground. He looked up at her surprised.
She stood with her hands on her hips grinning like a mad man. "Who says I'll let you win?" She turned to the little group who was hooting and hollering. She frowned at them. "You're a bunch of twits!" Before she was able to turn back to Snape he knocked her feet out from underneath her and she found herself on the floor beside him. "Hay!" She exclaimed. He grinned at her. "All's fair in love and war." She quirked an eyebrow at him. "So is this war?" He growled at her. "Well as much fun as it would be to go at this a couple more hours, I have a meeting to attend to." She rose to stand. He followed suit. "I do too at Hogsmeade." She put her hands on her hips. "Really?" She drawled. He put a hand to her lips. "It's not what you think." She wrinkled her nose. "How do you know what I am thinking?" He smiled and kissed her in answer. Sirius and crew hooted and hollered. "The taming of Snape!" Lupin hollered. The couple looked at each other before Merlina snorted in laughter. Snape couldn't help but smile.
"We still have an audience." She nodded and turned to leave. "Hay!" Hollered Sirius. "Who won?" Snape crossed his arms over his chest and sneered. "No one." There were some muttered curses as Snape watched John collect his bets. 'Watch out for the quiet ones.' Snape thought watching Merlina's backside disappear down the hallway.
Dumbledore steepled his fingers as Minerva sat down in one of the velvet chairs. "My dear," He began. "I take it you know what's going on?" She nodded. "Yes Albus." He watched her carefully. "Tell me what you see." She chose her words carefully. "You have powerful allies coming that we will have to make accommodations for." He nodded slightly. "There is more. Voldemort has united himself with an evil greater than himself." She looked at him gravely. "What are we going to do?" He placed his hands on the desk. "The order of Merlin has sent out orders to the guardians and the sentinels but I have moved a few of my own pieces into place." She nodded. "Should we tell the others?" He frowned. "I will tell Severous after his meeting with Lucis. I believe Miss Pendragon might already know to a small degree. I don't want to alarm the others yet."
She studied the head master for a minute. "Albus?" They locked eyes. "Can we beat them?" He shrugged looking much older than he really was. "I don't know Minerva."
Snape sat in Hogsmeade waiting for Lucis Malfroy. He saw the man come through the door. He stood a moment looking around. Once he spotted Snape he made his way over to the table. As he sat down a smiling waitress set a bottle of wine on the table and went on her way. Lucis gave Snape a charming smile that sent a chill to Severous's heart. "Well my friend are you ready?" Snape gave him a cold look. "For what?" Lucis chuckled. "Yes I forgot our lord tried to summon you and couldn't. Why was that I wonder?" Severous didn't let the shock he felt register on his face. Scowling he hissed. "What game are you playing Malfroy?" Lucis sipped the sweet red wine. "No game, our lord could not reach you when he called." Snape watched the man carefully. "I was helping the incompetent Miss Pendragon with a lesson." Lucis set his blue eyes on his companion. "Ah yes the alien?" Snape nodded his face never changing as Malfroy continued. "Our lord believes she might be the reason he can't contact you."
Snape frowned deeply. "Now I ask you how can that annoying twit block our lord's immense power?" Malfroy shrugged. "I don't know but I was sent to tell you of the meeting. You will want to be there." Snape looked at him as if he were stupid. "You know bloody well I'll be there." Malfroy set his glass down. "Good then I will see you at midnight." He rose watching Snape who glared at him. "Fine." He sneered at Lucis.
Merlina muttered the password to the headmaster's chambers. "Caramel apple." The gargoyle swung aside to let her in the chambers to find a very tired looking Dumbledore. "Sir?" She inquired. He motioned to a chair. "Sit child we need to talk." She did as told watching him with concern. "Merlina we have come to dark times." She nodded as he continued. "I am asking for your help my dear." She gave him a slight smile. "You know I will help." He smiled at her his eyes twinkling. "Yes I do." She gave him a thoughtful look. "Tell me more." He nodded and began to tell her of Voldemort's new ally.
