Andromeda breathed in heavily as she stood in the cramped elevator.
There had to be eleven different SSS members, all different sizes and
types. Some were familiar, from Hogwarts. Others were new people that
Andromeda had yet to meet. Andromeda quickly flashed her eyes to the
warning sign on the elevator that read, 'Maximum of 10 people.' She took in
a deep breath as the elevator went up.
She shuffled in her place. All around her was the twittering of the SSS girls, all babbling on about their non-existent love life with their potions master. Andromeda gazed around, trying to hide her curiosity.
Andromeda recognized some of the girls from Hogwarts. There was Richal, and Ramar, who were two previous acquaintances. She saw a girl named Jade and her friend Bunnie who were in her Friday classes.
Andromeda took a deep breath, praying to whoever would listen that this would be a quick elevator ride. That was when the elevator came to a halt right between floors thirteen and fourteen.

By this time, Severus had escaped from his room and was exploring the vast space that was New York City. He was about to break out into song, when he saw a sign that read, "All You Can Eat French Cuisine." Due to his drunkenness, Severus waddled inside the restaurant.
Severus was seated and opened his menu.
"What would you like for an entrée, sir?" The waiter said, hurriedly coming over, as I have been under the impression that most American waiters do.
"I'll have the poison." Severus said, pointing to his menu.
"Sir," the waiter said, a bit confused. "That's 'Poisson'. It's French for 'Fish.'"
"I see." Severus said, making a 'thinking' face. "Then I'll have the... poison..."
The waiter slapped his forehead. "Sir." The waiter said, a bit more forceful, "That's not poison, it's fish. Do you want the fish?"
"Not really." Severus said, bored.
"Than what do you want?" The waiter asked.
"I thought I made my self clear!" Severus piped up.
"We don't have poison, sir!" The waiter bellowed.
"So you don't have poison."
"NO!"
"Than what exactly DO you have?"

Andromeda clutched on to the railing of the elevator. "What the hell was that?" Jade asked, her eyes wide.
"I think the elevator stopped." Bunnie explained.
"Thanks, Sherlock." A tall girl with the nametag that read Magana said, turning to Bunnie. Bunnie gave Magana a look of pure arrogance, and turned back to her original conversation.
"Well, what are we going to do?" Jackie asked. "We can't stay here for too long!"
"Is there a phone?" Jade asked.
"It's... disconnected." A girl called Adrian stuttered, holding up a disconnected phone, and concealing what was undoubtedly a pair of scissors behind her robes.
"What did you do?!" Richal exclaimed.
"I tried to fix it!" Adrian cried.
"With scissors?"
"Leave me alone!"
"Would you both be quiet!" A voice broke the conversation.
Everyone looked back to Ramar who was still in the corner.
"We'll send someone out to climb above the lift and onto the next floor. Shouldn't be too hard." She said.
"I nominate Professor Stone," Richal said, "Considering she got to live out most of her life, and we're just getting into ours."
Andromeda turned around, to see a bunch of scowling girls looking in her general direction. There were two choices for her at this point: one, go up above the elevator with Ramar and risk her life fixing the elevator and get smushed at the top of the building. Two: stay behind and get the crap beat out of her by a bunch of Snape-loving psychopaths. Andromeda thought for a moment.
She was about to say something along the lines of, 'No thanks', but then something dropped from one of the girl's handbags. It was a book entitled, 'The Andromeda Stone Hate Group.'
Andromeda gasped and hurriedly ran over to Ramar to help her up and out of the elevator.

By now, Snape had passed out in the very heart of Grand Central Station, and, as the New Yorkers did when this happened to me, people walked passed him and one person even stepped on him. That person was taught his lesson, when Severus made an intimidating squeak when stepped on. Don't defy the squeak...
Anyway, Severus suddenly awoke in a puddle of his own drool, (charming) looking up at the amazing ceiling of Grand Central Station.
"Am I in heaven?" Severus managed to say.
"No." A passing New Yorker said, "You're in New York!" "Not again!" Severus grumbled, getting up. He looked around the room. 'Surrounded by Muggles.' He thought, sneering. 'Where is that harpee?' He added, referring to Andromeda. Last time he saw her, she was freaking out on the plane.
Severus walk out of the station with a swish of his robes, (sigh), and tried to think up where to go next. "If I was a psychopathic pyromaniac female," Severus muttered, "Where would I be?" The obvious answer was New York, but in this situation, that wasn't helpful.
Sorry it took so long! I thought it was up, and then it wasn't, so I really hope its up now. Next chapter, Andromeda and Ramar try to fix the elevator, and the sober Severus is lost in New York.
