Returning
Chapter 6: Return to Graces
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The week continued in much the same way until Sunday afternoon. Severus Snape left Hogwarts while Sureves stalked the halls, still deducting points with a vengeance even though the source of her hurt was nowhere nearby.
The other teachers had, in fact, taken to handing out points like they were handing out quills. Just to make up for the sudden fall of House-Points. In fact, one Ravenclaw first year had found that bumping into a non-Snape Professor would bring a response of "Are you all right? Five points to Ravenclaw."
Sev stayed out until Monday morning, only returning in time to be late to his first class (Gryf/Slyth) looking scruffy with large bags under his eyes and carrying a cardboard box with holes in the lid.
Ves continued her lecture on just *why* Neville's cauldron had exploded in the last class (one should never add wolfbane to a potion that includes the fur of a werewolf).
Sev swept through the class, randomly deducting ten points from Gryffindor for Potter's bad handwriting, and went straight through the door to his 'office', slamming the door behind him.
Ves glanced at the office door before turning towards Malfoy and sneering down her hawk-like nose at him. "Twenty points from Slytherin for not paying attention," she said before finishing her lecture with a threat to expel the next student stupid enough to mix were-fur and wolfbane. Then she wrote the instructions for a simple Pepper-Up Potion, stating "Since you all act like first-years anyway and Poppy needs some more with the colds flying through the second years," then motioned for Granger to watch the class before stalking into the office and slamming the door shut behind her and throwing the lock she had installed last night (something to baffle non muggle-raised or muggle-study students).
She glared at her twin, remembering her vow not to talk to him, with her arms folded over her chest and glaring down her nose. The blue and black badgers tattooed onto her arms (in place of the snakes, just changed that morning) also seemed to glare at him.
He was sitting at the desk, upon which the box had been placed. "I dislike fighting with you, Ves," he whispered. "So I found you a forgiveness- gift." He leaned forward and tiredly pushed the box towards her.
Cautiously, she stepped forward and pulled the lid off the box, looking into it with a soft hiss of surprise. "Sev, you shouldn't have," she whispered in awe as she reached into the box with careful fingers.

A/N: Yes, I'm effil. That's all you get. I'm sorry that this hasn't been updating as often as I had originally planned (once a day...) but there's been complications (my muses are in hiding, I don't know where they keep going!) so while the chapters will still have the same type of style (quick- update format usually all written in a single, short sitting and immediately posted), they'll be a bit sporadic. *sigh* I hate being depressed, it just drives everyone away (muses included).
Soooo! Please feed the author! Please? The last chapter didn't get ANY reviews ;-; and it's been up for DAYS... *sniffle* so hungry.
