"What in the blazes is going on?" Snape bellowed out.
"Where is her underwear, you perverted fuck!" Logan growled.
"What's in your hand?" Rogue said pointing at the wand still held by Hermione.
Logan saw the tail still poking out of Snape's robes and made a run for the slimmer man. Hermione put a stunning spell on Logan and froze him in mid air. Rogue snuck up on Hermione and was about to knock the wand out of her hand when the English girl turned and Rogue found herself as frozen as Logan. Defendium was cast again and the two wizards turned away from the stunned mutants.
"What did you do that for!"? Snape growled at Hermione.
"First of all, to save your butt from Logan, and second of all because they know who we are! We'll have to obliviate them, or explain exactly what we're really here for. Do you really want to-What are you looking at?" she broke off sharply noticing she didn't have Snape's full attention.
"Oh for the love of England they're called legs!" she hissed before conjuring up a pair of sweat pants for herself.
Snape chose to ignore her scathing comments and dive into the business of the X-Men and what to do now that they were discovered. He turned his head to glance at the two mutants and caught a glimpse of the absolutely murderous glare that had been on Logan's face as he'd charged the Englishman. "Lock the doors, we don't want anybody else traipsing in here in the middle of the night."
"It's not my fault you drug me out of bed, and it's not my fault they were in here! Don't get snippy with me!"
"You're attitude Miss Granger is less than tolerable."
"My attitude is your fault!" she snapped back at him, determined not to take any more flack for the night. "Look, let's just figure out what too do about Logan and Marie."
Rather taken aback by Hermione's behavior that night, Severus felt it was best to just go along and appease her for now. "I think it best if I perform the oblivious charm."
"Why not just tell them?" Hermione asked quietly. "I mean, Rogue is the one in trouble after all, and as far as I know, Logan seems to really care about her. They deserve too know."
"Well true love and all, what a charming little fairytale. But think for a moment girl, if we let them in on this little secret we'd only be blinding them wouldn't we?"
"And what do you think will happen if we don't tell them," she said, " Logan will go absolutely mad if they get to Rogue."
"What's your point?"
"My point is, for whatever reason Logan has taken a severe disliking too you, and should anything happen to Rogue, I believe he will take it out on two people."
"Don't be stupid he won't touch you."
"I wasn't talking about me" she said in surprise, "I mean he'll take it out on himself and you." Hermione finished quietly, holding his gaze.
"I can take care of myself Hermione."
Tension filled the room as they stared at each other. "We need to fix the problem Hermione, and now." Snape said as he turned to remobilize the two X-Men.
With a wave of his hand he took the defindium spell off the two and spoke. "I'm going to explain who we are and why we are here. I will not be interrupted, so your only option is too listen too what I have too say. A challenge for you I'm sure Logan."
"Lee Scarsdale, Mia Sensible, Jeffery Redding and Jonathan Slytherin do not exist. Our proper names are Hermione Granger, Ronald Weasley, Harry Potter and Severus Snape. We have come from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as a favor to Charles Xavier. The four of us, some more than others, have been working on a solution to a plan that in short terms involves Cerebro, a group of rather surly creatures and an inhabitant from this mansion. Given Miss Rogue's history for melodrama, it should come as no surprise that she is the target of this devious plot." Snape finished and carefully guarded Logan for his reaction to this news while Hermione watched Marie and released the pair from the stun.
"I know it's a lot to digest at the moment Rogue, but I promise we've got the good people working on our side" Hermione said taking Marie across the room for privacy.
"Where did you get the sweatpants from?" was Rogue's first question from her friend.
Hermione grinned, "I'm a witch. Harry, Ron and Professor Snape are all wizards. We're in our last year at school over there."
"You mean next year don't you? I mean since you've been here this year, you can't be there at the same time can."
"Actually we can" Hermione said and went into a long explanation of how time turners worked.
Across the room the two boys, er men were in a standoff, glaring heavily at each other. "What the hell are you? Where is Rogue?"
"A wizard. She's with Hermione."
"Hermione? What kind of name is that?"
"What kind of name is Rogue?" Snape shot back sarcastically.
"Why didn't I know about this before?" Logan barked.
"It was meant to be a secret. Now if you hadn't been in here with your little girlfriend, this all would have been just fine."
"Hey we were in here before you dragged what's her name in here to-what exactly were you going to do? She didn't have pants on bub." Logan said narrowing his eyes at Snape.
"What exactly are you implying?" Snape said icily.
"I'm saying, carrying a half-naked girl over your shoulder in the middle of a night says something. I dunno how the hell things run over in Queen Elizabethland, but in America we don't sleep with out students." Logan said crossing his arms across his chest.
To his credit, Snape didn't loose his cool at all. "Fist off, it's called England, and secondly you have absolutely no room so speak. Wasn't it you and Rogue that were in the middle of a rather passionate lip lock when we came in?"
Logan, as stone faced as Snape replied evenly "You saw nothing. I don't know who you are and you saw nothing."
"Saw what?" Severus asked, pleased he'd gotten what he wanted. He was sure Hermione was handling Rogue just fine, and now he was positive their secret was safe.
Snape nodded curtly and walked off towards the two girls.
"I dunno Mia-Hermione, it's complicated."
"It didn't look that complicated to me." Hermione teased.
"Well, I wasn't the one who came in here showing her panties to the world. What was that all about anyway?" Rogue jibed her friend back.
"Honestly it was so stupid. It was about this fight over researching. He came into my room, while I was sleeping mind you, and wanted me to come help him with some books and there was yelling, and then he picked me up and carried him out here!" she said a bit indignantly.
"At least you gave him a nice tail" Rogue grinned.
"If you're done discussing my former tail, I believe it is time for you to retire. And Miss Granger, shall we attempt to research what we came here for?" Snape broke in as he glided into the room.
Hermione stared at him, and with a twinkle in her eye hopped off the couch. "I believe we already settled this argument, and I am going to bed." she said as she strode out of the room still gabbing with Rogue.
"Women" he said shaking his head and accepting defeat. On his way out the door he noticed Logan's smug look. "Oh sod off you."
"Amateur. She's got you by the balls." Logan called out gleefully. "Yeah, we can smell our own" Logan muttered to himself before leaving the library and leaving the scene of an active night. What on earth would the morning bring?
