Sue: Thanks for the advice, I'm trying, but this is just a fly-by-the-seat-
of-my-pants story ^-^
Crydwyn: mmmmm, cupcakes. *drool* *cough* anyway, thank you for the advice, I'm still trying to figure out just how different the two would be (since Ves has been teaching Muggles she'll deff have a diff style) I'm glad you like it and I hope that I continue to write to your delight ^-^
madee: I've always felt for Neville... poor boy! Should I give him a spine? Make him do a 180? Prankster!Neville? Hmmm, the idea has possibilities. o.O
and to mister/miss no-name: thanks for the snack ~_^ I enjoy people letting me know they like my story ^.^
Disclaimers: I don't own it... I wish I did. I want Sev to be my own. He's so pretty and lovable (cough cough, yeah right...) Anywho, I'm not the original author. I'm just stealing them. I adore stealing things... but I always give them back (maybe a bit used..)

Chapter 5: Fight
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Suffice it to say, there was a large amount of yelling from the dungeons during the dinner break. In fact, if it hadn't been for the Headmaster, everyone would have heard the twin quite clearly in the silence of the Dinning Hall. But since he'd kindly asked the castle to muffle the voices coming from the dungeon, no one really knew what was being yelled that night.
There was, however, a great deal of speculation. The most popular idea among the muggle-borns was that someone had perfected the art of cloning and made another Snape, only botched the job and made the new Snape a girl. Among the wizarding children there was a tie. One of the theories was that Voldemort had sent the new professor like a Howler to berate Snape for being a bad Death Eater.
Another theory was that Snape's long lost twin had finally found him... only to find out he was a Death Eater. Oh dear.
The third theory was that this was some over-enthusiastic fan of Snape's (why anyone would like him to begin with was beyond them) who had tracked their way to Hogwarts and into the graces of Dumbledore so that she could get close to the Professor.
The yelling went long into the night, making for sleepless Slytherins, but the walls continued to muffle the voices so that no one knew for sure what was being yelled.
The next day found the Slytherins nodding off over breakfast when the doors slammed open and nearly identical figures in black swept through them and towards the head table. The man wore black wizard's robes (I am of the opinion that the 'robes' seen in the movies are horrible hideous things that should be burned and remade. In the books it is clearly noted that Wizard Robes are much like Muggle Dresses. I wish JKR had kept with that theme in the movies ;-;) and his face was twisted into a cross between a scowl and a sneer. Greasy black hair framed his shallow face and his dark eyes glared evilly at any student who he caught looking at himself.
The woman was dressed in Muggle clothing that was the height of current teenage Muggle fashion (I'm assuming Harry is still in school, thus this fic takes place several years ago. And this was a highly popular style a few years ago, at least near me!). Her feet were encased in shiny black combat-style boots. Her legs were covered like a second skin by a pair of almost shiny black leggings. A body-hugging black tank-top ended well above the low-cut leggings, leaving a good two inches of lightly tanned skin exposed and highlighting a brilliant green and silver snake tattooed around her navel. Over all of this she wore a sleeve-less black duster that hung open and trailed behind her like a cloak. A pair of black leather (not dragon-hide, these aren't protective, just fashionable!) finger-less biker gloves graced her delicate hands, leaving her arms exposed from wrist to shoulder and revealing the green and silver snakes tattooed up and down both arms (though the students that had seen her the day before would swear those had not been there). Her own greasy black hair framed a face nearly identical to the man's, only slightly tanned instead of sallow, and more feminine.
The twin seemingly ignored each other as they swept up to the head table and sat beside one another at one end.
Dumbledore shook his head, blue eyes twinkling, and stood. "As some of you may all ready know, Hogwarts is proud to have two Potions Professors as of last night. Professor Sureves Snape will assist Professor Severus Snape so that Double Potions will no longer be quite such a task for him," he said happily as he turned to smile at the twins.
Ves looked out at the students, carefully hiding both her pleasure at being back 'home' and her anger with her twin.
"Her name's just the reverse of Snape's name!" she heard one Slytherin hiss to his table-mates. "She probably is just a clone like the Mudbloods say.
Deciding to do something she knew her brother could not do, she spoke loudly enough for the entire school to hear her. "Twenty points from Slytherin, for useless gossip and profanity."
The entire room started talking at once. The new, obviously Slytherin, 'twin' of Snape, 'greasy bitch' Professor had just docked Slytherin 20 points for /gossip/!
Ves sneered at the Slytherin table and started eating her breakfast of a hard-boiled egg (eaten whole, the students would later say, just like a snake) and water. She could sense the amusement of her twin but she refused to acknowledge him. She was angry. It would take either a twist of fate or an accident for her to talk to him until next week. Or a very good apology gift.
~~~~~~~~~~~
The day went fairly quickly for the feuding twins. Much to the dismay of the students, points were taken off with rapid-fire precision in all Potions Classes. At noon the tallies were horribly brought to life with the lowered point levels. Ravenclaw had lost a total of 239 in a single morning while Slytherin had lost 318 points. From a single double-class! What kind of point losses would be seen in the Gryffindor/Slytherin double- class that afternoon?
Either those third-years had walked on glass to please their professors or the fight had shifted focus because the two houses only lost fifty and seventy points respectively.
By the time detentions for the night started, the two Snapes were hardly speaking at all, just glaring at everyone and anything.
By the time detentions ended, the twins weren't even up to glaring. Although the Potions Lab and Stockrooms looked better than they had in ages and there was a list of about fifty ingredients that needed to be replaced due to unnoticed expiration dates.

A/N: So. Here's the first full day of Ves at Hogwarts. What did you think? Please feed the author, I'm not doing a good job of feeding myself *eyes the scale where she's lost about five pounds* amazing.
So come on! Comment, Review, Flame even! Of course, all Flames are subject to much laughter and giggles. Helpful pointers are always welcome! ^-^
