Chapter 8-
"You know what, Andromeda?" Severus drunkenly babbled, "Riboflavin is a really funny word."
"I know, Severus... I mean, Ben." Andromeda said in monotone. They were sitting in the baggage claim area of the airport as Remus tried to find the bags.
"Where did the other one go?" Severus asked. Andromeda assumed he was referring to Gloria.
"She's probably throwing up that bag of peanuts she ate on the plane." Andromeda spat out viciously.
"I was talking about that big purple Gumi-bear." Severus replied.
"In that case, I don't know." Andromeda said, her eyes fluttering lazily around the room, trying to find something interesting to look at, other than the sick, drunk Severus that was in the process of writing a rather repetitive song entitled, "Me and the Giant Gumi Bear."
Andromeda recognized many Slytherin girls in the airport, and she tried to block Severus from their view best as possible. One, however, did notice him.
"Professor Snape? Professor Stone?" she said, rushing over. The girl was tall and scrawny, and she had intimidating eyes: silver with gold pupils. Her nametag read "Ramar Raven." Andromeda recognized her as a sneaky Slytherin from Hogwarts years ago.
"Good morning, Ramar." Andromeda said. "How are you?"
"Fine, Professor." She said, a bit moodily, much like Severus when he wasn't drunk. "What is wrong with Professor Snape?"
"I think I lost my magic car that runs on dreams and rainbows." Severus told Ramar, who just gave him a strange look, and then looked at Andromeda for a response.
"He's a bit... tipsy." Andromeda said. "Planes don't agree with him."
"Oh." Ramar said. "I'd better be going. The bus will be leaving soon. By the way, what are you doing in New York, Professor?"
Andromeda had to think fast, so she blurted out the first thing that came to her mind. "Severus wanted to go to the Star Trek convention."
Ramar gave a weird look, turned on her heal, and left.
Suddenly, there was a huge rumble from the baggage claim machine- dealy, and everyone started gathering around it. Something had clogged the machine, and the room started filling with smoke. Something burst, and from the machine fell... Gilderoy.
"Oh my God." Andromeda whispered as she rushed to the baggage claim. "What are you doing here?" she asked him as she pulled him off the trolley.
"I thought that New York is the perfect place to have our wedding!" Gilderoy happily exclaimed.
"I'm going to kill you." Andromeda told him.
"You best save all THAT aggression for the wedding night, my love." Gilderoy said with a coy smile.
Andromeda was too horrified at that comment to say anything in reply, so she kicked him in the shin, and left the baggage claim as fast as possible.
Andromeda dragged Severus through the airport, not caring where their luggage was, only wanting to get away from Gilderoy. As they walked along, Severus was reciting adverts.
"Look, Andromeda!" he said, "Double mint gum is fresh and longer lasting! And look at that! I'm not fully clean until I'm zestfully clean!"
Andromeda stopped and turned to Severus. "Ben, do we need a time out?"
"No, ma'am." He said, trying his best to conceal that half-full bottle of brandy he swiped from the airplane.
"Now, where are we?" she said, turning to an airport map. "We are here," she pointed to where they were, "And we have to go here." She pointed to the exit. "Severus... I mean, Ben, did we pass a TCBY on the way here?"
There was no response. "Severus?" She turned around. Severus was no one to be found.
OH GOD! Drunk Severus on the loose?! Be afraid... Anyway, next chapter, Andromeda finds Severus and checks into the hotel in which she meets many SSS girls.
