If you Want to Destroy my Sweater....

part six
i was listening to classical music when i wrote this, so if its a bit "odd" blame it on Mozart's Amadeus Requiem.
*************************************
Harry was restless that evening, so lit a candle and picked up his father's diary to read some more...
- It's finished. Totally and completely, i can say for certain now that Remus and Anna were having more than just a social "chat" up in the astronomy tower an hour ago. I can see right now that Severus Snape is prowling round his dorm, Dumbledore is in his office, and Sirius... oh my god.. okay Sirius looks like he's bouncing from wall to wall... this can't be good. In the gryffindor girls dorms, it looks like they're all having a seance, all sitting in a perfect circle. Pity the map cant show what they're saying... Oh well. We've sort of managed to get animals too, but the Animagi will only show up as labelled dots when they're thinking specifically "loud" human thoughts. Well, we can always re-charm it later if we find out something else...-
Harry clutched the marauder's mad beside him,
- Today i had the biggest shock of my life... Lily hanging round with Severus SNAPE. What the hell does she want with him i will never know, and we're supposed to be going out! The nerve...
oh wel she says he was asking her for something he'd left in the muggle studies class room... We shall never find out... well.. unless i pound him into tiny pieces which seems very entertaining at the present time. Its the last day at Hogwarts in a few weeks time... i cant believe this is actually happening... Seems like there's still so much to go. Oh Well, must go. Sirius and me have somehing spectacular planned for the slytherin laundry...-
***FLASHBACK***
"Lucius!" Severus screamed out in rage. "LUCIUS!"
"Severus? Whats hap...." Lucius say the laundry that had just been returned... "Oh."
"its that POTTER" Severus almost tore his robes in half.
All the robes that had been brought in that morning were now a soft baby pink with little rabbits and flowers on the material. The cords tying them together, were now blue ribbon.
Lucius Malfoy picked up a pair of socks which had little baby witches on broomstics flying round.
"Emanuel?" He threw them at Emanuel Rosier, "I thought you were GUARDING our dormitory from freaks like those gryffindors?"
"I was." Emanuel replied haughtily, "This happened outside the dorm. The house elves brought them in."
Severus Snape was beginning to overheat. "This is War..."
***END***
****
"Well?" A very irate Rosier was stomping round the small field thinking of a thousand other places for a death eater at such a time.
"They shall no doubt be on their way." Peter said quietly, "To bring back our master, we must kill the auror who caused his death. I was the vessel for his soul if such an occurance should happen, it has happened and he now speaks through me."
"Very well." Rosier snarled, "We shall wait."
Peter looked uncomfortable with that snake Nagini slithering round his feet, well, actually he looked uncomfortable all the time, it was terrifying to have his master in his head, listening to his thoughts, being able to hear his fears and doubts.
A twig snapped in the ense foliage behind them and they all whipped around. "Who is it?" Peter tried to stop himself from quaking.
"Its nothing." Rosier squited his eyes, "You've been doing this everytime a bird flies over or something snaps or a leaf falls, you're PARANOID."
"Yes." Peter nodded, still glancing at the foliage, "Probably just a squirrel or something."
Neither of the two saw the six eyes staring at them through the leaves, but the Snake did. It slithered away towards their hiding place unnoticed. It didn't return.
"What're you doing?" Sirius whispered as Edea transfigured the dead snake into a pair of purple snakeskin cowboy boots with four inch heels, very nice bootwork.
"Souvenir." Edea hissed back.
"Will you two shut up?" Remus was getting edgy. "I can see him."
"If we reveal ouselves he'll transform." Sirius frowned, "I don't see any way of doing this."
"I do." Remus crouched down closer to the ground, "Eds, you're a transfigurey person, can you do me a crossbow or something?"
"Course." Edea picked up a few branches of fallen wood, and pointed her wand at them, "Kur." She muttered.
Remus picked up the crossbow and loaded an arrow, He pointed it through the dense thicket bush, and found his aim. "I'm going for Peter, if i dont hit, i want someone to stun him and Rosier before they can react." He whispered, as Edea and Sirius both held their breath. "Don't. Make. A. Sound."
Edea and Sirius got out their wands again, and held them ready. Remus squinted, waiting for Peter to stop pacing round like a lost lamb...
THWAK.
"Stupefy!" Sirius pointed his wand at Rosier, who had seen him coming and hand ducked out of the way.
Peter was on the floor, the arrow had hit its mark.
"Impedimentia!" Edea tried Rosier, who once again rolled out of the way.
"Wingardium Leviosa." Rosier pointed his wand at their hiding place, Edea was lifted high into the air, her head hit a tree branch and she was rendered unconscious.
Remus was running, he was pretty fast when he felt like it. Suddnely a blur of blue and green streaked past Sirius, hurling curses at the death eater and the fallen Peter.
Rosier was down, caught by something Sirius had never heard of before. Remus had Peter under a stupefy charm and was busy pulling the arrow out if his prisoner's back.
Edea was still hanging in the air. "Enervate." Sirius pointed his wand at her. She woke up.
"Damn." Edea muttered, feeling the back of her head as she flaoted back down. "What happened."
"I think its more of a who than a what." Sirius pointed at the cloaked figure, who was having great pleasure in knocking the stuffing out of Emanuel Rosier.
"How odd." Edea mumbled, "Do we know who it is?"
"No." Sirius said, "Lets find out."
"Good work." Remus nodded to the other two, "I like the crossbow, can i keep it?"
"Sure thing." Edea said then put her hand on the shoulder of the stranger, "Hello?"
"Trust you idiots to get into trouble." The slimy voice said quietly.
Sirius's jaw tightened.

"Professor McGonagall?" Hermione rushed up to her head of house, "Has Dumbledore..."
"Don't worry," McGonagall let out a weak smile, "I'm certain your professor shall return how she left, maybe with an extra baggage by her side."
"No, thats not what i meant.. we don't have a defence against dark arts teacher... i was wondering..."
"Professor Lupin is not there?"
"No." Hermione shook her head, slightly worried, "Seamus said he saw Professr DuCruet take Professor Lupin and Sirius Black with her to the borders of the school grounds."
"Oh dear." Professor McGonagall sighed, "We sent out Professor Snape after her, i fear his journey will have been in vain."
Hermione still looked worried, "Maybe i should..."
"Yes, you take the lesson." McGonagall nodded, "Its first years next lesson i believe, should be no problem for you."
"Thank you." Hermione beamed.

-We charmed the potions dungeon this evening.- Harry was smiling, his father's diary had a cheerful effect on him, -The cauldrons and equipment have started up an orchestra. Impressive music actually, i cant see why the potions master didn't like it... Maybe the second bar of Ode To Joy was a bit sharp, but it was still very impressive...-
"Harry?" Ron poked his head round the door, "Fancy a game of exploding snap?"
Harry shook his head, "Bit tired, maybe later." he kept reading... -Totally freaked out Filch last night. Me and Sirius hid in that hole he has the guts to call an office, under the invisibility cloak, we kept opening the drawers to his filing cabinets and moving round trophies etc... he thought it was Peeves of all people. Went rushing off to find Dumbledore when Mrs. Norris suddnely turned a bright shade of green.-

"Severus?" Remus looked round at the figure who was lowering his hood. "What on earth?"
"Heya." Edea shrugged, pulling the snakeskin boots on.
"Cant we ever have a moment in peace?" Sirius spat. he didn't get any further as everyone was now looking at Peter, who was convulsing and choking under the binding ropes.
"Did we charm him to do that?" Edea asked warily.
"Um, would it make matters worse if i said no?" Sirius bit his lip. "I have a bad feeling about this..."
"You don't say." Snape rolled his eyes, watching the squirming PEter, whilst Remus was trying to stupey him to no avail.
"He's throwing it off." Remus said, bewildered, "Like he's possessed or something."
Almost as soon as he'd said that, Peter's body transformed into thousands of tiny grass snakes, that easily slithered out of the ropes, once they had broken free, they took form again.
"Shit." Sirius stated loudly, as the snake-figure turned human. "Cliff-throwing obviously doesnt work as well as planned."
"FOOLS!" Voldemort screeched, "DID YOU THINK YOU COULD GET RID OF LORD VOLDEMORT?"
"Urm..." Edea's mind went blank, no snappy comeback became available, so she settled for the obvious, "yeah."
"FOOLS" Voldemort repeated, "Wormtail sacrificed his life to give me mine."
Remus was backing away, clearly not happy at the current arrangements.
Sirius pulled out his wand, pointing it at Voldemort. "You cant be real. They've got your body down at the ministry labs, you're an illusion."
"Do you not READ the news, Mister Black?" Voldemort asked icily, "They lost my body as you so crudely refer to it yesterday, poor Wormtail believed i needed the blood of the infuriating girl who killed me to regain my powers, but i have proved differently, but her blood is welcome at any rate."
"Its so nice to be wanted." Edea snapped sarcastically,
Severus just stood there. Gawping.
"Alas, i have very few death eaters left." Voldemort sighed, when the call for his minions went unanswered, "But i se one is already here, Welcome my traitorous servant, Severus Snape."
Snape's eyes narrowed,
"You do not bow before me?" Voldemort asked laughing, "Imperio... now bow, just bow."
Snape's back bent in a half bow, his eyes glaring,
"Well done." Voldemort said, then turned to Edea and Sirius, who looked amazed, "As for you..."
"You cant touch me." Edea snarled
"I think i can."
"I think you're wrong." Edea bit back.
"Really?" Voldemort took a step forward, but all of them had suddenly disapparated. Leaving Voldemort pointing his wand at empty space.
