Death Threat
A/N. Chapter two *smacks self on head* I say that in really big letters below…I just had nothing else to say….I don't particularly like this chapter…oh well…:}
Chapter Two: Faith
The next day was sweltering hot again but everyone in third year and above were in high spirits because of Hogsmeade.
'I heard they've got in these new extra-power dungbombs!' they heard Fred exclaim to Lee Jorden as they passed them in the corridor.
'Better check them out!' said Ron to Harry, a huge, infectious grin on his face.
'Boys!' tutted Hermione.
They walked into Hogsmeade with the rest of their friends, and, of course, headed straight to Zonko's.
It was, if possible, crammed full of more stuff then last time. They spent a full hour in there, much to Hermione's disgust.
Next they went to Honeydukes where, once again, the stocks seemed to have been refilled and the shelves were overflowing. There weren't many Hogwarts students left in the sweet-shop seeing as most of them had gone in there first thing, and the one's that were left were straggled about.
There was just one woman at the desk, with a rather dreamy expression on her face, who kept peering expectantly out the door.
They looked through the shelves for about five minutes, trying to decide what they could buy with the rest of their money, when suddenly Ron grabbed Harry's arm.
'Look!' he whispered urgently as he pulled Harry, Hermione and Jenny behind a crate in front of them.
Harry looked and gasped.
Snape had just walked into Honeydukes and had gone over to the young lady at the counter.
They were to far away to hear what was being said but they could tell by the body language that Snape and the shop girl were flirting. The shop girl kept fiddling with something, probably a ring, Jenny had hissed, on her finger.
After about ten minutes, in which Harry's foot seemed to be getting cramp, Snape left the shop…but not after he had given her a goodbye kiss!
Ron gagged.
'A ring…and she kissed…is she mad,' he exclaimed, after getting over the initial shock that Snape appeared to be engaged.
'I'm going to talk to her!' announced Jenny, and, oblivious to their whispers of 'No!', 'Come back here!' and 'She'll know we've been spying…', she walked over to the shop assistant.
'Oh, c'mon!' Harry growled, as he got up and followed her, Ron and Hermione closely behind him.
'Wow, is there something going on between you and Severus?' said Jenny with the innocence of a wide-eyed child, forcing Harry to cringe with shame as he tried desperately to pull her away and hiss at her to shut up.
'Oh, so you know Severus, do you?' I suppose you're students at the school?' the woman said, but not unkindly, as she smiled down at Jenny.
She had mousy brown hair and hazel eyes and Harry began to wonder what on earth she was doing with a guy like Snape.
'Yeah, we're students,' said Jenny, 'I'm Jenny Dumbledore and this is Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger.'
Harry watched as the woman's eyes performed the familiar flick to his forehead. She smiled again.
'I'm Faith Barret…well, soon to be Faith Snape,' she added dreamily, fiddling with the ring on her finger.
'You're marrying him! Eeeugh!' said Jenny, looking just as disgusted as Harry felt.
'I think he's a very kind man actually…despite his past. Jenny Dumbledore? Albus Dumbledore's granddaughter and Auror, am I right?' said Faith, still smiling even though Jenny had just insulted her fiancé. You had to admire Jenny, thought Harry.
'That's right,' said Jenny, bowing slightly, 'How do you know that?'
'Severus,' Faith replied simple.
'Oh, well, I'm not that bad…honest!' said Jenny, earnestly.
Faith laughed.
'Er…Jen?' said Harry (A/N. He says that waaaaay to much in my stories!!!) , 'We've got to get back or McGonagall will do her nut.'
'Ok,' she said, 'Bye Faith!'
'Bye!,' said Faith, 'Come again!'
'Sure will!' Jenny replied as she walked out of the shop, hand in hand with Harry.
'You've got some nerve!' exclaimed Hermione, 'Talking to a perfect stranger like that!' She looked very disapproving.
'She looked nice. And anyway I can't help it if I'm out going compared to the rest of you shy lot!'
'I'm not shy!' said Harry indignantly, before the others could object.
Jenny laughed, though not nastily, and squeezed his hand.
'Yeah OK.'
She sounded disbelieving but Harry gave in and didn't contradict her.
A/N. Oookay, a little short but never mind!!!!:}
