middle names. ^-^

Chapter 2: Enter Stage Back
~~~~~~~
By the time she reached the door to the Potions classroom, she had decided to forgive her old teacher by the end of the month. Not a moment sooner would she willingly talk to Albus Dumbledore.
Pausing just long enough to release her hair so it draped around her face to partially hide her features (silently bemoaning its greasy state), she carefully pushed open the door and slid into the room.
Only the sounds of bubbling cauldrons met her ears. But that only lasted a moment before the only adult in the room swept up behind a teenager. "Mister Longbottom," a deep voice said menacingly, "Are you so incompetent that you cannot follow a /simple/ list of instructions?"
The child cowered before the imposing man and Ves's lips slowly curved into a smirk. He hadn't changed a bit. And from the way he was acting, there was only one House that the child could be from. Only one House had ever made her brother stand so rigidly when dressing down someone.
So she swept forward, a ripple of gasps following her form as she stalked forward in a way that made her duster swirl out behind her like an open robe. "Ten Points from Gryffindor," she growled, "For drawing so many stares for an unfinished potion." As she took the points away, she moved until she was standing on the other side of the unfortunate Longbottom and staring down her hooked nose at him.
The unfortunate child looked at first one Snape, then the other, blinked, and then did the only thing a self-respecting Gryffindor would do when faced with the Snape Twins. His eyes rolled back and he fell to the ground in a faint.
Sureves tisked and turned towards the closest looking book-worm, snapping her fingers at the girl. "Name."
A pause and then, "Hermione Granger, Ma'am."
Dark eyes narrowed, "House," she growled.
"G-Gryffindor, Ma'am."
"Five points from Gryffindor, Miss Granger. I am a Professor and you will not call me that irritating name. Now let your lab partner clean up and take Mister Longbottom to the Hospital Wing."
Silence greeted her words as the teen obeyed her. Then a sharp crack of her brother's voice, "Get back to work!"
She surveyed the busy children as the young girl took her House-Fellow out of the room. How had her brother survived with such incompetent children? At least all /her/ students had been old enough not to pull childish pranks... thinking of which!
"You," she stalked towards a red-headed young man. "Hand over that firecracker right now. By the looks of your hair, you're probably one of the overly-huge Weasley-clan. I cannot believe that no one ever cast a Sterilization Charm on them. Five points from Gryffindor for daring to bring this item into this room."
And that was how the rest of the class period went. The students would be watching one Snape while the other swooped in to deduct House Points.... A total of 75 points were lost that period... all by Gryffindor, of course.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So?? How'd you like it? {bounces} Please say you liked it. Oh! Any requests for pairings? I haven't decided if I want to pair either Sev or Ves with anyone... and student pairing ideas are welcome also! The twins must have /someone/ to catch out in the locked classrooms at night ^-^
Hopefully I'll update again tomorrow, but just in case I'm too slagged to write, please feed me so I don't loose the will the live (and my muse doesn't try to gnaw on my leg... I share my food with her!)
