Disclaimer: Oi. Friggin' J.K Rowling owns the beloved Harry Potter characters, while I get to own Kate Zephrem, Emrissa, and this idea/plot.
Severitus: Read it again?! Wow!!! I am SO good! Lol
Kranberries: Kate is about fifteen, you know, just to fit in with the rest of the books and timeline. Thanks for reading, you're a refreshing new person!

There was an immediate uproar when the scream was heard. All the teachers shot up to see where it had come from, but it was Harry who had pointed the source, he was in a dive, going for the enormous snake that had been assualting Hermione.
"MR POTTER!" roared Snape.
He whipped out his wand and crashed down the bleachers with everyone hurrying to clear the way.
"Foolish boy" he muttered and a few of the other teachers came to him.
"The occamy" said Aranel, her voice was quiet, but she seemed in awe of the snake.
"That is one huge serpent" said Madam Hooch.
"I never said it was small" muttered Snape.
"Aranel, can you distract it?" he asked.
She looked at him, a little startled at the idea.
"What?"
"Can you distract the occamy?" he repeated, slower.
She blinked, "I could try"
"If Potter is the only person who can defeat it, then we need to give him time" he said.
The teachers exchanged glances, mostly thinking,
/How did he suddenly have faith in the boy he hates?/ and /Harry is only a teenager, could he really kill the occamy, or would it kill him?/ But they all nodded.
Author's Note: Tiny chapter, I know. Sorry about the wait and all, but here's a little how shall I say this? Appetizer? For the coming chapters.
