Harry Potter and the Dark Defenses

Chapter 15 ***Dungeons and Snape's***

            Saerry Snape blinked at her older brother as he stared numbly at the front page of the Daily Prophet.

"I thought you didn't like him."

Severus Snape looked at his younger sister then back at the paper and the article proclaiming Harry Potter a Death Eater.

"I don't.  But…"

"But what?"

Severus sighed and growled, "I have to help him."

"WHAT?"

Saerry gaped at her brother, unable to believe what she had just heard.

"If you don't recall little sister I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him."

"You don't know that it was.  You said yourself that you had no idea who had formed a distraction so you could escape."

Severus scowled.

"Who else would it be but Potter?"

"Malfoy?"

"That will happen when I parade about in red and gold singing the praises of Gryffindor."

Saerry smiled evilly and fingered her wand.  "I can arrange that."

"You do and that hair of yours will be pink for a month."

"You wouldn't."

"I would and you know it.  Now, I have to go see Dumbledore."

"Why?"

"If I tell you I'll have to kill you."

"SE-EV!"

Severus smiled at his sister, an expression that many had never seen on his face.  He rose from his seat and patted her shoulder.  Then he said, "I'm completely serious."

"Sirius?"

Black eyes narrowed dangerously.

"Not another word."

"You said his name, not me."

"I did not."

"Did too."

"Not."

"Too."

"No…  Oh, go back to your common room."

Saerry smiled and leaned back into her chair.  She declared, "I'm quite fine here."

Severus smirked, "You won't be when I take fifty points from Gryffindor."

"You wouldn't."

"Oh wouldn't I?"

"Grrrrr."

"Good girl."

Saerry glared at him before getting up and stalking out of the dungeons.  Severus looked after her for a moment then headed towards Dumbledore's office.

A/N: Ah, this just popped to mind and I couldn't resist!  I wanted to put Saerry in somewhere so I came up with this.  And she's important in the story, trust me.  *grins*  But aren't they so sweet?  I felt like showing a little kinder side to Snape so, BOOM, a little scene between him and his much beloved younger sister.  SO MUCH FUN!  *laughs evilly then walks off to ponder over what to do in Chapter 16*
