KM: Hey Everyone. I'm listening to the Little Mermaid soundtrack-for no apparent reason- right now, and I'm like loaded up on peanut butter (don't ask) so forgive me if this chappy is not up to my usual standards. Please Review. You Review me I review you…everybody's happy! Plus I want Everyone's opinion on how the story is going, and if you have any changes to suggest.
NOW ON WITH THE STORY!

Serenity was ill at ease for the next several days. Terrified that Remus would tell Sirius everything or that Sirius would fall to his knees and propose to her any time they were in the Great Hall.
No one knew of THAT vision.
While her friend's brains had basically shut down, as the end of the school year was only a month away, Serenity's was awake and buzzing with questions and problems.
Serenity had resolved to not get any more involved than she already was. She didn't want to hurt any more people than was truly necessary.
Then she got involved……again.
~*~
Serenity had decided a nice picnic was in order to calm her feverish brain. Packing her small lunch she had chosen a nice spot by the lake, and whipped out her new novel.
She started when a shadow fell from over her shoulder, and darkened out the words in her book. She turned her head and came face to face with Severus Snape.
"Can I talk to you?" he asked quietly. His voice was small and shy and didn't hold the silky, greasy undertone Serenity knew he would have in the future.
"Sure." Serenity said giving him a warm smile. There was no reason to be mean to him just because he was rotten to her in the future.
"I am sorry to interrupt, but it is quite important." He said motioning to her spread of food.
"Yes, of course. It's quite all right Severus. What did you need?" She asked marking her place in her book and setting it aside. She turned to face him on the blanket with her legs tucked underneath her and gave him her full attention.
"What am I like in the future?" he asked suddenly.
Serenity was a bit taken aback at the blunt inquiry.
"Why do you want to know?" She asked slowly-processing his question over and over in her brain.
"It's the way you look at me…" Serenity made a small choking noise. "The way I look at you?" she asked, confused.
"The way you look at everyone. It is hardly noticeable, but it's like you're omniscient. Like you know everything about us just by one look. When you look at me it looks like you're disgusted at first, but then I see sympathy in your eyes……why?"
"Well, you're my Potions Master and Head of the Slytherin House. And well….you're…." Serenity sighed in frustration. " Well, frankly, you're a mean, cruel, and bitter man who has it in for any student not in your house."
Now it was Snape's turn to be taken aback. He paled visibly.
Serenity was immediately embarrassed. "Oh, Severus, I'm so sorry. I really don't have a way with words. I've been told that I can be painfully blunt at times." She apologized, sheepishly.
Severus shook his head. "No. It's quite all right. I asked you a question, and you gave me an honest answer."
Serenity shook her head as well. "I still feel bad. Would you like some of my lunch?"
~*******~*******~*******~*******~*******~
Serenity laughed, and brushed a lock of hair behind her ear, and glanced at her watch.
"Oh my god! It's half past five! We've missed all our afternoon classes, and now I'm late for my date with Sirius. He's gonna KILL ME!"
The two leapt up and hastily crammed the picnic blanket into Serenity's basket, and tore down the hill towards the castle.
Reaching the bottom of the hill they chose the fastest way back to Hogwarts and ran straight through the Forbidden Forest.
Serenity's long blonde hair flew in front of her face, and she was about to clear it away from her face, when it was cleared away for her.
Her long golden hairs floated swiftly away on a breeze to settle in the lake. Serenity stared in horror at her shoulder length hair, when a clicking noise froze her in place.
She tried to move slowly away, but the clicking noise got increasing louder and more agitated. A long, spindly leg covered in thick black hair shot forward, and she let out a shriek of surprise.
Suddenly Severus was beside her, his fists pummeling the leg that bound her. Another leg shot out behind him, and when Serenity tried to warn him a thick, sticky white substance shot out of the creature and sealed her mouth shut.
The leg wrapped around Severus as well, and lifted him fifteen feet off the ground. It was only now that Serenity had a chance to look at the creature. It was a giant spider! Female, by the looks of it, with eight blood red eyes. Its body was covered in coarse black hair. Its legs were longer than fifteen feet, which combined with its round-ish body, marked the creature taller than twenty-five feet.
Serenity knew what this was. She tried to yell out to Severus, but her words were ineligible through the webbing.
"Mghphfggihpm!"
Severus had also studied the creature, and realized what it was as well. "It's an Acromantula!"
"Mghfispht!" Serenity shouted out. Her voice edged with urgency. She jerked her head violently at the ground, until Severus looked downwards.
Sitting beneath the Acromantula were almost a hundred white eggs, as large as beach balls.
They had stumbled on the Acromantula's nest!
