Chapter 9-
"Ben?!" Andromeda called out frantically, running through the airport. Severus was nowhere to be found, but she followed the trail of mortified people to get to him.
She finally spotted him, in the airport J. Crew store, making sock puppets out of designer socks.
"Severus! What are you doing?" Andromeda exclaimed, rushing to his side.
"Shh!" he replied. "I'm putting on a show for my new friends!" He pointed to the dummies in J. Crew clothing.
"Right." Andromeda said, rolling her eyes. "Severus, you're going to be so embarrassed about his when you get sober."
Andromeda dragged Severus out of the store and ignored the people staring at her. She was about to go through the exit, when she heard a familiar voice.
"Andromeda, wait for us!" It was Remus and Gloria. She had completely forgotten about them.
"Hi." She said, not realizing that the automatic door was opening and closing continuously on Severus's head. "I completely forgot about you! Sorry!"
"What's wrong with Severus?" Remus asked, watching Severus's head turn black and blue between the doors. (SLAM! "Ow." SLAM "Ow." SLAM! "Ow." Etc.)
"He's very drunk." Andromeda replied. "I found him in J. Crew."
"Did you know that Gilderoy followed us here?" Remus asked.
"Gilderoy Lockhart?" Gloria asked, a huge smile on her face. "You mean, THE Gilderoy Lockhart?"
"The one and only." Andromeda said in monotone.
"He's SO dreamy!" Gloria said, putting her hands on her heart.
Andromeda didn't know what horrified her most: The fact that Gloria fancied Gilderoy, or the fact that she used the word 'dreamy.'
"Well..." Remus said, a bit horrified himself, "We should probably get Severus to a hotel before his skull explodes."
"Riboflavin." Severus said wearily.

(NOTE: I'm going to end the sequence with that little dealy for now on because I think it's pretty.)

Andromeda and Severus went to the hotel while Remus and Gloria went to find their own, away from the throng of teen-age girls. "Welcome to the Hilton." The somewhat too perky hotel receptionist said. "How may I help you?"
"We need one regular room, and I'm with the SSS." Andromeda said.
"Can I have a room with a moose?" Severus asked.
Andromeda hit him over the head, and he was silent again.
"Are you Andromeda Stone?" the receptionist asked.
"Yes." She replied.
"There was a man here earlier who said to move you into the honeymoon sweet. Is that correct?"
Andromeda grew livid. She quickly glanced around the room, hoping not to see the blindingly white smile of Gilderoy Lockhart.
"That information is NOT correct." Andromeda said. "I'm still here with the SSS and I want to put a restraining order on the man who said to change my information."
~*~ (yey!)
"Ok, Severus." Andromeda said, dragging the potions master into his hotel room. "Remember what we discussed?"
"I'm going to stay here and not make any trouble or you will blackmail me when I'm sober again." Severus replied, sitting down on the couch.
"Good." Andromeda said, putting Severus's bag by the bed. "I think it's best that I take the key to the liquor cabinet for now..."
She picked up the shiny brass key that sat by the cabinet.
"YOU CAN'T!" Severus said, ready to pounce on her. She was too quick for him, and she rushed out the door and slammed it shut. Severus, being to drunk to notice he could in fact open the door, pounded on it yelling, "Give it back! You can't leave me here! You can't!"
"Oh, but I have." Andromeda said, putting the key in her purse. "I'll be back to check on you later."
She looked at her hotel key. Room 890. She shrugged and made her way to the nearest elevator and pressed the 'up' button.
She heard the elevator bell ring, and gasped at what she saw inside.
In the elevator stood at least 10 girls dressed in black robes and hats, and had gold nametags that read their names and said "SSS".
She recognized a few of them, including Ramar Raven, who she saw at the airport.
One of the girls held the door open, and said, "Going up?" Andromeda nodded and wearily stepped on the elevator, knowing she was going to get more information that she needed on the way up to the eighth floor. ~*~
Hi, all. There it is. Hope I didn't disappoint you or anything. Next chapter should be up soon. But in the meantime there's always SOMETHING you could do. *cough * visit my website *cough *
Anyway, NEXT CHAPTER: Andromeda and the SSS girls get acquainted, and stuck in an elevator.
