CHAPTER SEVEN: The Beating

*Story follows Ron, Harry, and Hermione*

"Excuse me please, Uline." Harry said to his dancing partner as he went over to Ron, who was chatting with Princess Kalasin, appearing to be having a great time. "Umm, Ron?" Harry asked his friend.
"Yeah, Harry?"
"Do you know where Snape went? Hermione is over with all of those boys—"
"There pages who don't often get a chance to be with a girl." Kalasin interrupted.
"Well she's already taken by Viktor Krum." Ron added
"Anyway," Harry continued, "Professor McGonagall is with those academics over there, but where is Snape?"
"I dunno, Harry" Ron said
"I might know." Kalasin began, "I saw Master Numair and Baron George take him."
"What do you mean 'take him'", Harry and Ron chorused
"Well, they picked him up and took him away. Alanna and Daine followed."
"And no one stopped them?" asked Ron incredulously
"People are pretty used to weird things happening with Alanna, Daine, Master Numair and Baron George. They are female fighters, mages, and spies for the Spymaster."
"Really?" Ron asked. Kalasin nodded.
"I could have told you something would happen between Master Snape, Master Numair, and Baron George. I saw how Snape was flirting with Daine and Alanna and I know that both of their men are…protective."
Harry and Ron looked at each other then Ron said to Kalasin, "I am sorry, but we have to go. I promise I'll talk to you later, Kalasin."
They then left to go get Hermione. Squeezing in between the pages they got to Hermione.
"Hermione, you have to come NOW!" Harry said gritting his teeth when he said 'now'.
"Harry I'm right in the middle of a conversation. Can't it wait?"
Ron turned to Hermione and said, "This CANNOT wait because it is Sorcerers Stone, Chamber of Secrets, Siri—Snuffles, You-Know-Who important!"
Hermione's eyes widened and she said to the glaring-at-Harry-and-Ron pages that she would have to go. She then followed Harry and Ron out the door Snape, Gorge, and Numair took.
They walked along the path, listening until they heard some noises that could be fighting. All three followed the noises until they saw Snape, then they hid in the bushes.

*Story follows all people*

"So," Numair stated to the bloody, mangled Snape, "You like to hit on other people's fiancés and wives. That doesn't make you look to good, Snape." The last word was filled with malice.
"I'll ask you again, Snape. Why were you after our girls?" George asked through gritted teeth.
"I told you, I didn't know that they were yours." Snape replied. The reply was slurred because of Snape fat lip and swollen tongue.
(A/N: I bet you are wondering what happened. I'll explain. I first have a lot of people to dedicate this story to. This is for you Kori who wanted to know what happens to Snape, you Veralidaine Sarrasri and Lady of the Wolves who were correct in what they said in their review about Snape, you Psychotic Lioness and Giovanna thank you for what you guys said about my story, you both inspired me to write more, you Rosethorn and Ginelle for what you said, and you Cho88, I will let you watch the fun. Oh yeah, also to my friend Erica for helping me plan out what would happen. This story is only halfway done. So anyways back to the story. George and Numair took Snape out to the gardens and Daine and Alanna followed. When they got to a kind of secluded spot George and Numair set Snape down. Snape reached for his wand but George grabbed his hand and Numair took the wand. Then George and Numair both punched Snape and asked him why he was hitting on their girls. Snape didn't answer so George and Numair punched him again. That is where Harry Ron and Hermione came in. Hmmm, long authors note…)
"Excuse me. I don't like the way you said that. We are NOT theirs, we are just married, or getting married to them." Alanna interrupted.
"Yeah, we don't belong to them and just for saying that—" Daine said as she punched him HARD in the stomach and Alanna kicked HARD in the groin.
Snape winced and slouched, but George and Numair caught him and made him stand then kicked and punched him a few more times.
Then George told him, "I hope you learned you lesson. You need to see a healer, you're a mess. Alanna, love, do you think you could heal him a little."
Alanna looked like she would refuse until she noticed the evil grin on George's face. She grinned as well and nodded calling upon her magic. Numair and Daine stood back smiling just as evilly as George and Alanna. Alanna walked towards Snape and grabbed his arm. Snape had a look a horror on his face. Alanna began to heal, but not properly. She made sure nothing was visible so the King couldn't get angry with them for beating the crap out of one of their guests. Then she made it so every Friday Snape would have two left feet and walk in circles, the first day of every month he could only talk in rhymes, (A/N: I don't think it is possible for her to do this, but I don't care. It is possible in MY story.), on the third day of every month beginning with J he would have to skip everywhere he went, and on every Monday he had to be nice or he would get a shock, much like an electrical shock.
When she was done she said to Snape, "You had better be glad it's Tuesday and not Monday or Friday, or the third on June, January, or July, or the first of the month. You'll find out soon enough what happens on those days."
Then she stood up and walked over to George, exhausted from the huge amount of magic she had used, and they both went inside. Numair and Daine began to follow, but Numair stopped at the bush Harry, Ron, and Hermione were hiding behind and said mildly, "Did you enjoy watching, Harry, Ron, and Hermione?" Quiet enough so the still lying on the ground Snape couldn't hear.
"I think you had better come in. It's a little chilly out here."
Harry, Ron, and Hermione came out. Hermione looking shocked, Harry looking puzzled, and Ron like he had just had the best thing in the world happen to him.
"Snape will be alright. Don't worry about him. Maybe he'll be a little nicer from now on."
Hermione looked relieved and said, "We won't worry about him or tell, he deserved it."
Ron just kept on smiling up at Numair, but Harry still looked confused. "I don't get it. How did you know we were in the bush?" he asked.
Numair flashed a smile then said, "I sensed you. I can sense magic and since you three are brimming with magic, it was easy to sense where you were." With that he put his arm around Daine and walked inside leaving the three standing there.
