Disclaimer: You anal little twits!! If you think I'm doing a disclaimer for every chapter you're insane!! The one on the first chapter counts for them all. So there :P

Author Crud: Okay, I got a few good reviews already and with all these little ideas swimming about in my head that's enough for me. Go on! Read and Review! Or the awesome and much feared Queen of the Duinderlions will have you beaten with sporks!!

Oh come on, you know what a spork is. It's that little not spoon not fork thing they give you at Taco Bell when you get that goopy cheese thing… Never mind.

PS-- Oh yeah, just some basic facts: early fifth year at Hogwarts. A bit more than, say, a third of the wizarding community acknowledges Voldemort has risen (not including his followers) but the Ministry still insists he hasn't. Foolish gits.

*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Part 2: Spying ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*

"You're sure she'll be all right?" Professor Snape asked Madam Pomfrey anxiously.

"Severus! If you don't stop hovering at my shoulder I'm going to give you a dragon sedative!"

Harry's eyes widened beneath the cloak; Madam Pomfrey irritated enough to threaten one of the teachers? Snape must have truly been upset to have irked her that badly.

Snape snarled something at her that the three couldn't hear from where they were in the doorway. But Snape did go to the other side of the bed that the girl was laying on and sat down.

Hermione muttered, "Even when he's all twitchy with worry he's a sour thing."

Snape looked around with narrowed eyes as if he thought he'd heard her, but when the girl on the bed moaned and moved a bit his attention immediately went back to her. The difference in expression was extraordinary. Harry could hardly believe this was the same person who had taught them potions for all these years.

Snape stood and laid a gentle hand on the girl's shoulder. Gentle? Something was definitely up. Snape was not gentle.

Ron started to say something, very quietly, but just then Dumbledore came in from a different part of the room, and closed the door, ending their spying session.
