Chapter 36:

A/N: Thanks for all the amazing reviews!

Sorry it took longer for me to post this chapter, the stupid snow storm we had knocked my power on and off for 4 days and knocked my Internet out and because so many people lost power and Internet they could not get to my house to fix the electricity and Internet until Monday (2/7/11).

~Severus Addicted

Harry slowly knocked on the wooden door to the History of Magic classroom.

"Come in." Professor Binns called out from where he was "sitting" behind his mahogany desk.

Harry opened the door and stepped inside the classroom only to be pointed to the desk in front of his Professor's desk. When Harry was seated his Professor floated over to him and laid a parchment on his desk with a quill and ink. Harry looked up at his Professor in question.

Seeing Harry's confused look Binns elaborated, "I want you to write 'My irresponsible actions will get me no where in the Wizarding World' until I say you may stop. Understand Mr. Snape?"

Dreadfully, Harry slowly nodded his head and picked up the quill to begin his sentences.


"Stand still, it'll probably just pass right over us!" Remus mocked bitterly at Severus.

Severus glared at him, "Shut your bloody mouth, Dog!"

Remus shook his head and glared at him fiercely, "No! If it weren't for your stupidity we would not be in this situation at the moment, Vampire!"

Severus got closer to him allowing him to see the flash of anger flicker in his onyx eyes, "This is not my fault, Lupin! It's not like we could have outran that stupid sand storm anyway!"

Remus took a step closer to him as well, "How do you know? Are you behind this? I bet you're working with the people who captured us! Bloody Death Eater!"

Severus clenched his fist and narrowed his eyes to a slit, "I. Am. NOT. A. Death. Eater. Lupin!"

Remus rolled his eyes, "Oh right, and I'm not a werewolf!"

Severus took a threatening step towards him with his fist lifted as if he were about to smash the smirk right off his face.

"Will you two shut the fuck up? Bloody Hell I can't even think when you two bicker!" Alastor snapped, "You're worse then four year olds! Bloody babies!"

This caused both Remus and Severus to take a step away from each other very quickly.

Alastor nodded his head in approval when he noticed them step away, "Now, Remus, this unfortunate situation is not Severus' fault! Now apologize to him immediately."

Remus gave Alastor a shocked look but one look at Alastor's impatient face made Remus quickly do as he was told, "I'm sorry, Snape."

Severus tilted his head in acceptance.

Alastor huffed, "If I hadn't known your ages I would have thought you were children. Now, keep your fucking traps shut while I think of a way out of here." Alastor snapped angrily.

Severus sighed and looked around the dank room. The dungeon they were in did not look familiar to Severus, "I don't remember this dungeon so I do not believe we are being held by any Death Eaters or the Dark Lord himself." Severus told Alastor softly.

Alastor nodded his head, "Abilio is not a Death Eater after all, is he?"

Severus shook his head, "He seems like the kind of person who would become one, does he not? But no, Abilio never joined forces with the Dark Side yet."

"I bet you joined because of the cookies they were offering, didn't you Snape?" Remus asked him with a big smirk placed on his sweaty face.

Severus rolled his eyes, "Imbecile..."

Before Remus could reply Alastor shouted, "If you two do not start acting your ages I will treat you like the ages you are acting!"

Severus rolled his eyes while all the color drained from Remus' face.

When he realized Severus and Remus were finished Alastor continued, "Well then if this is Abilio's work he must be doing it for his own reasons..."

"Very good. The old one is very intelligent!" Abilio's voice drifted in from under the crack of the dungeon door.

"What do you want, Abilio?" Alastor asked calmly.

"I want the boy." Abilio told him as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Harry." Severus muttered under his breath.

"I want Harry." Abilio told them with a smile lingering on his lips.

Severus shook his head fiercly and shouted, "NEVER!"

Abilio sighed sadly, "Then you will die."

Severus glared at the door, "Then kill me already you bastard! You will never get my son!"

Remus stared at Severus in shock. He did not realize how much Severus actually cared for the boy...

Abilio chuckled softly and said, "You will change your mind. Goodnight." With that Abilio's feet disappeared from under the crack of the door.


Harry placed the quill on the side of the desk so he could stretch his aching fingers out. Harry looked up to see whether or not his Professor was still in the room, he hadn't heard anything from him in a long time. Just like he thought though the man was still there.

Professor Binns floated over to where his essay sat and picked it up to count how many there was. Once he was finished counting he nodded his head, "Has the message sunk in, Mr. Snape?"

Slowly, Harry nodded his head.

Professor Binns nodded his head once again, "Next time I expect you to have your essay finished and handed in when I tell you to hand it in, Mr. Snape."

Again, Harry nodded his head, "Yes Professor."

Professor Binns went back to his seat as he said, "You may go back to your Common Room, Mr. Snape. Goodnight."

Harry stood and left as quickly as he could.

The Library was still open for another half an hour so Harry decided he would go help Hermione and Ron.

When Harry arrived in the Library he noticed Ron with his head lying on the book snoring and Hermione had three books open in front of her as if she were reading all three at the same time. Harry slowly sat down in the seat and waited for them to notice his presence.

Hermione slowly looked up from the book she was reading, "Oh good, Harry! You can read this book." She threw a big red book at him then went back to reading.

Harry sighed and nudged Ron in the side.

Ron jerked awake and glared at Harry, "Leave me alone..."

Harry smirked and opened the book to start skimming.

A silent half an hour went by until suddenly Hermione threw the book she was reading down on the table with a huge smile on her face, "I found it!"

Ron opened his eyes at that and slowly sat up, "What did you find?" Ron mumbled still half asleep.

Harry closed the boring red book and looked at her expectantly.

Before Hermione could tell them what she found the clock chimed signalling that the Library was closing.

Hermione quickly stuffed the book in her bag and dragged Harry and Ron out of the Library.

Harry smirked at Hermione and said, "You know you just stole that book, correct?"

Hermione shook her head, "No I didn't. I'm borrowing it, Silly. I'll bring it back when I'm done with it. Besides, she wouldn't let me check anything out when she's closing the Library anyway..."

Ron and Harry exchanged amused looks but at the glare Hermione was giving them they did not comment.

Once the Trio arrived back in the Common Room they sat down on the red couches in front of the fire and Hermione pulled the book back out of her bag.

"So, what did you find, Hermione?" Harry asked her curiously.

Hermione smiled brightly, "I found out what she is!"

The color drained from Ron's face at that sentence, "What do you mean, 'what she is'?"

Harry nodded his head with wide eyes, "Yeah, that doesn't sound too good..."

Hermione sighed, "Well, it really is not that good... Anyway, Professor Kline is a Snow Demon."

Ron could have fainted, "WE HAVE A DE-" Hermione quickly put her hand over his mouth as students walked past them giving them strange looks. Once they were gone she slowly removed her hand and Ron continued but in a more quiet way, "You mean to tell me that we have a demon as our Professor?"

Hermione nodded her head, "She has all the signs."

Harry sighed, "Is she dangerous?"

Hermione shook her head, "Keep her happy and she will be a good little demon."

Ron rolled his eyes, "There is no such thing as a "good little demon"!"

Harry chuckled lightly at Ron's remark but then got serious again as he asked, "What will happen if she gets angry?"

Hermione paled slightly at the thought, "She can make you feel so cold that you can't physically move your muscles and then she will suck your soul out."

Suddenly they heard a smash as Ron fell off the chair and hit the ground.

Harry and Hermione quickly jumped to help their fainted friend.


Severus paced the dark dungeon as he tried to think of an escape plan, he needed out more then ever now so he could protect his son.

Alastor sighed, "He will be okay, Severus."

Either Severus was ignoring him or he did not hear him through his own thoughts.

Remus' stomach grumbled from where he was lying on the damp, stone floor.

Alastor glanced over at him, "When is the next full moon, Remus?"

Remus' eyes widened at the thought, "It's tomorrow night! Albus told me we would be back by then!"

Alastor smiled lightly at the thought, "We could make that work to our advantage..."

Severus stopped pacing at the sound of their conversation.

Remus tilted his head to the side, "I don't know what you mean, Mad-Eye."

Severus huffed, "When you transform you could knock down the dungeon door and go after Abilio, that's what he is getting at you dumb piece of-" At the look Alastor was throwing at Severus made him go silent.

Alastor removed his glare from Severus to look at Remus, "He is correct, that is what I was getting at, Remus."

Remus slowly nodded his head, "It will be hard for me to concentrate on only him... When I transform I become wild; I don't know what I am doing..."

Alastor nodded in understanding, "You have to try your hardest, Remus. We must get out of here if we have any chance to getting back to Harry before Abilio gets to him."

Remus nodded his head in understanding, "I will try my hardest. For Harry."

Severus gave him a grateful look before going back to pacing the room.


Ron awoke fifteen minutes later only to stare up into the faces of two very worried friends.

"How are you feeling, Ron?" Hermione quickly asked him as she helped him sit up.

Ron sighed, "I'm fine... Why do we always have to have awful Professors?"

Harry smiled lightly, "Because Mate, Headmaster Dumbledore is not amazing at picking Professors." This made them all laugh hysterically.

Ron sighed and looked at Harry with worry in his eyes, "What are we going to do?"

Harry shrugged his shoulders, "I, I don't know..."

Hermione stood from the floor and pulled the boys up, "We need to go tell your Grandfather."

Ron shook his head, "What if we are wrong?"

Hermione glared at him, "Are you questioning my intelligence?"

Harry sensed this was not going to end well and quickly jumped between them, "Let's go visit my Grandfather." Harry gave Ron a pleading look that begged him not to start with Hermione.

Ron slowly nodded his head and with a sigh followed behind Hermione and Harry.

When they reached the gargoyles Harry said, "Lemon Drop." The Gargoyles jumped to the side to allow them entrance for the moving stairs. When they reached the top Hermione quickly knocked on the big wooden door, the sound echoed around the small hallway.

The doors slowly opened as if by magic, "Come in my children. Have a seat." Albus told them with a twinkle in his eye, "You do know what time it is, correct?"

They all nodded their heads knowingly so he continued, "Lemon Drop?" Once he gave them all one Lemon Drop he said, "Now, what do you three need?"

Hermione sighed and said, "It's about Professor Kline, Headmaster."

Albus nodded his head, "I have been getting plenty of complaints about Professor Kline, Miss. Granger. So, if you three are just here to complain about her to me I do not need to hear it."

Harry glared at him, "She's a fucking Snow Demon. Have you heard that complaint yet?"

Albus stood from his desk and glared at Harry, "Young man you watch your tongue!"

Harry continued to glare at him but didn't say anything.

Hermione sighed, "He's right, Headmaster. Professor Kline is a Snow Demon."

Albus removed his glare from Harry to look at Hermione, "Are you sure of this, Miss. Granger?"

Hermione nodded her bushy head, "I believe so. She has all of the signs..."

Albus nodded his head, "I will look into it, Hermione. Thank you for informing me of your thoughts. I do not want any of you-" here he narrowed his eyes at Harry again, "getting involved in this. Do you understand me?" Once they all said 'yes' he continued, "Now, go back to your Common Rooms curfew will be coming soon. Harry, you will stay behind though. Goodnight Hermione, Ronald."

Once Ron and Hermione were gone Albus sat back down behind his desk, "Young man I know you are frustrated and angry because your father is not here at the moment but that does not give you an excuse to speak to me like that! You have been acting up all day. I have gotten complaints from your Professors all day long about your attitude and I have had enough!"

Harry swallowed in an attempt to fix his dry throat, "Yes, sir."

"Your attitude will be better tomorrow, young man or you will find yourself coming back here and you will not come out a happy person. Do I make myself clear?" Albus raised his eyes to look over his glasses as if daring him to say no.

Harry quickly nodded his head, "Yes, Grandfather. I'm sorry."

Albus nodded his head, "Goodnight, child. Your friends are waiting outside the door for you." Albus flicked his wand to reveal two wide eyed children.

Blushing, Harry stood from his seat, "Night." Then he left with Ron and Hermione back to the Common Room.

Albus sighed before he too stood and made his way to the fireplace to go visit Minerva.


Slowly, Harry opened his eyes and reached for his glasses. Once they were on he looked around himself in the dark dorm room. He thought for sure he heard something... Sighing, Harry laid back down and stared at the red cloth above him.

Suddenly, Harry felt chills run up and down his body making him shiver. Harry looked over at the window thinking maybe it was open, but instead of seeing the window like he expected to he came face to face with Professor Kline.

Harry didn't have time to yell out before he was stunned and carried out of the dorm unnoticed by any of the other sleeping boys.

A/N: I know, I'm evil... But those cookies were just so darn good ;)

Thanks for reading!
