Chapter 3- Painting Diagon Alley Red
"I always get stuck with this sort of assignment. This is going to be a LONG trip." The doorknob to the infirmary creaked as the professor walked in.
"Madame Pomfrey?"
"Yes."
"I'm here to take Miss Nagy to get her school things."
"Of course. She's over here professor."
Madame Pomfrey drew back a curtain to reveal April surrounded by house-elves combing her hair, bringing her gifts of socks and doorknobs; any excuse to meet their queen.
"April you'r..."
"Sorry, Ma'am, ya' need to hold on," she replied while quickly looking at her subjects.
"Alright guys, I need to go but next time I come back we need to party again. Cool?"
A high-pitched chorus of 'Yes Queen-Miss!' met her ears before Madame Pomfrey and the half-hidden professor were nearly trampled by a herd of pointy-eared house-elves returning to their jobs.
"Sorry," April replied while putting on a set of mismatched hot pink and neon green plaid socks,"You were saying?"
"Yes. The professor is ready to take you to Diagon Alley."
"Groovy. Who is it?"
Madame Pomfrey stepped aside to reveal a tall sallow man with waxy skin and greasy hair glaring at April.
He got a disgruntled look on his face before stepping forward to make an introduction.
"My name is Professor...AAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!" Professor Snape screamed as she made a flying leap, knocked him down and sat on his chest.
"EEEE! It's YOU!!! You are SSOO COOL! I can't believe it!..." she bubbled as she sat on his chest. Madame Pomfrey stared at the two, mouth agape, before busting up with laughter. She hadn't seen Snape that surprised since James Potter had lined his desk with Fillibuster Fireworks and set them off in class when they were 5th years.
"GET OFF ME, YOU IMPERTINENT MUGGLE CHILD!!!" he screamed at her.
She chuckled and quickly removed herself from his person. After he had stood up and dusted himself off he saw her chuckle as she watched him.
"What?" he said, scowling.
Suddenly, she latched onto his arm and said,"I can't wait to tell Dawn how CUTE you are when you're angry!"
Professor Snape started to blush when he saw Madame Pomfrey laughing at the teenager that couldn't be pried off his arm with a crowbar and started to make his way to Hogsmeade.
"Miss, I will ask you this once," he started,"Get OFF!"
"Nope."
'I have to get this girl off me,' he thought urgently. He quickly thought of the various spells he knew and figured that the Removal Spell was in order.
"Amotio."
Snape's arm slid form her grasp without her noticing. Smirking, he tapped her head. When she looked up and saw that he was free, April snapped her gaze away from him in disgust.
"I won," Snape muttered as they got into Hogsmeade and Apparated to Diagon Alley.
* * * * * * * * *
"PRETTIES!!!!" April squealed with delight when they arrived.
"Quiet! Don't embarrass me, you obnoxious child," Snape said angrily before he started pushing her threw the street.
"Where are we goin' first, Snapey?" she asked politely.
"To get your wand, and never call me *shudder* 'Snapey' again."
"Awwww, c'mon Snapey. Ya' gotta learn to lighten up!" she said jovially while clapping him on the back with enough force to make him stumble.
'Nasty, little worm,' he thought as they stepped threw the door of Ollivander's.
"Why, Severus Snape! Who is this beautiful? A daughter?" Mr. Ollivander inquired with wide, amused eyes. Snape's lips curled into a psychotic, forced smile.
"I think NOT, Mr. Ollivander. She's a new student and I was sent to supervise the purchasing of her school supplies."
Mr. Ollivander turned his attention to April and started to bustle around the shop getting various wands for her to try while naming the size, kind, and core for each wand. After an hour Snape was asleep and April's arm was starting to get tired.
"Hmmmm. Difficult customer," Ollivander said before a thought struck him.
"Vivacious girl with much power needs a special wand!" Ollivander exclaimed while digging in his storeroom.
"HERE!"
He stepped out of the storeroom and thrust a wand into her hand and said,"Here. One of a kind. 11 inches, Tiki wood, and a unicorn hair. Try it."
"Okay," she said with renewed excitement. April took the wand into her hand and twirled it around, sparks of exotic fuschia and chartreuse flew through the air, before the wand tip came to rest before the sleeping Severus. A puff of lilac-colored smoke filled the shop along with the sweet scent of jasmine and roses. When the smoke cleared Mr. Ollivander and April stood in shock.
"A powerful witch, indeed," said Ollivander.
"I didn't mean to," April giggled as Snape stirred.
"Mmmm. What is that heavenly smell? AAAAHHHH!!!!" he screamed, mortified as he looked down at his robes. April's first attempt at a spell had managed to cause Snape's robes to blossom with unearthly large, sparkling jasmines and roses.
"I KNOW YOU DID THIS, YOU NASTY CHILD! SOMEHOW OR ANOTHER I KNOW YOU DID THIS!!!!!!!" he bellowed before he changed his robes back and asked for the price of her wand.
"I really am sorry, Snapey. It was an accident. REALLY," April said, sincerely, for the hundredth time in the past two hours.
'Sure,' he thought while saying,"It doesn't matter. I'll go get your familiar while your fitted. What animal would you want?"
She thought a moment and said,"Well, the wand is tropical, sooooo...I WANT A PEACOCK!"
"What?!"
"Fine, fine. How about a Macaw? Make sure he's pretty. With lots A COLORS!" she yelled as she opened the door to Madame Malkin's.
"Ooooo, Pretties."
"What school, dear?"
"Uhhh. Hogwarts."
"Alright. Up on the stool."
Madame Malkin started to fit her while April started yammering.
"Can you make this with iridescent silk? How about chiffon? Ooo! I want that in green!"
"Miss Nagy, you only need black robes," Snape said threateningly as he walked in and sat down.
April pulled herself into a position of stature and said in a soft and steely voice,"I am a queen. My people chose me as their monarch and I will look presentable for them." "Hence," she whispered menacingly,"I will have a regal wardrobe."
Surprised by the sudden, extreme shift of temperaments, Severus asked Madame Malkin to take down April's requests and have the bill sent to him. And with that final purchase they set out to America.
A/N: WOO HOO!!! Snapey foots my clothing bill! What a swell guy! I hope that you guys didn't mind this chapter being a bit long. I think this has to be one of my favorites so far. It was fun to write and funner to read. I gotta go, I have to work on a speech for English. I HATE english!!! GRRRR!!!! Later, Peeps!
