Life's Crazy Changes

Chapter fourteen

He walked into his study, slamming the door.

As soon as the door was closed, I ran for it, running down staircases, tripping a few times along the way, before I was standing in front of the great hall. I was out of breath and heaving. I ran inside and sat down beside the Cullens as quickly as I could. Edward stared at me wide eyed and I guessed I knew why. 'Later' was all I mouthed at him before digging into a bowl of spaghetti.

"Well, I'm really tired," I said to the Cullens, faking a yawn, "So I'm going to go to bed. Edward, you want to come?"

I gave him a meaningful look.

He nodded silently, and slid out of his seat, following me up to the empty Gryffindor common room.

As soon as the portrait swung back to hide the entrance once again, Edward burst into a string of questions immediately without wasting any time.

"Why would Professor Snape do something like that? Why didn't I tell you when I heard what he was thinking? Why didn't you tell him off? Why –"

"Good god, Edward, one question at a time!" I interrupted him. I ran my hand up his shoulder to calm him down and get his mind off of all his worries.

"Sorry, love, but I'm just worried for you", he sighed.

"I know, but don't worry; I plan to tell Professor Dumbledore," I reassured him.

He came over and hugged me, but then he became serious again.

He stared down at me and said, "You need to tell him as soon as dinner is done, okay? And if this continues with Snape, you tell me, and I will take care of it."

I just laughed, knowing he would never harm a human, let alone a teacher. We sat there by the fireplace, watching the fire flicker, throwing small sparks.

Around seven o'clock, the rest of the Cullens, and some of the students came back to the common room. Carlisle looked as if he had just been through a hurricane, and being a vampire, that was hard to appear so.

"What in the world happened to you?" I laughed.

"Let's just leave it at 'teenage girls are crazy' and if you want to know why, ask someone else, because I am going up to our dormitory, and I am going to read a nice little medical book, preferably before I go insane," he said in a voice that sounded somewhat crazy before storming up the steps and into the boy's dormitory.

I gave Esme a questioning look and she smirked. "Quite a few girls purposely hurt themselves, just so they had an excuse to go to the hospital wing. And the fact that Carlisle is new to magic, he had a somewhat complicated day," she told me, fighting a wider grin.

With that, all of the Cullens, the students, and I burst into fits of laughter.

So Daddy C was afraid of a few little girls? Ah, he is going to be tortured for the rest of his life- err, existence- for that.

But then I remembered the deal Edward and I had made, and I left the common room, ignoring the confused looks I was getting from my family. But halfway there I thought of something I had overlooked earlier. I had absolutely no idea where Professor Dumbledore's office was, let alone know the fact that I didn't know my way around the castle. Great, now I had the fact that Snape was watching me, Edward being worried about me, and that I was now lost weighing down on my shoulders. Perfect, just perfect.

But as I rounded a corner, I saw the last person I wanted to see right now. Snape.
