Chapter 12-
The elevator zoomed up the floors, coming closer and closer to the big, metal ceiling where Andromeda and Ramar would become witch jelly, which, unlike grape jelly and strawberry jelly, is not tasty or easy to make at all.
"We're gonna die!" Andromeda panicked, clutching on to the elevator. "And I didn't return those books to the library."
Ramar gave her friend a skeptical look. "Maybe impending doom has made us a bit crazy." She said, once again looking up to see how many floors were left to go.
~*~
Severus had to think fast. Andromeda and Ramar had only seconds before the elevator collided with the ceiling. He hurriedly fetched his wand from his pocket, and pointed it to the general area of the top of the elevator cables.
"Disectos!" Severus said, and a blue bolt of energy erupted from his wand, and hit the top cable, just as Mr. Elevator hit Mr. Huge-ass Metal Ceiling.
Andromeda and Ramar gasped a sigh of relief. However, this is when I bring in a little experiment to mind. There was once this guy, minding his own business, and sitting under an apple tree. All the sudden, an apple pops off a branch, and hits the guy in the head. After much unnecessary swearing and useless ranting, he decided that there was a reason the apple didn't stay in the tree. The reason: gravity.
Let's call the apple 'elevator', and our friend, the guy, 'doom.' Guess what happens next.
Just as the apple did from the tree, the elevator began to fall at an unbelievably fast rate to the bottom of the hotel. As the elevator whizzed past where Gilderoy and Severus stood, Gilderoy yelled quick, "Hello!" and a wave down the shaft as Ramar and Andromeda screamed.
Severus quickly disapparated down to the last floor of the hotel and opened the doors to the doomed elevator. He waited for the exact moment that it would hit. Just a few more seconds... three... two...
"Wingardium Leviosa!" Severus bellowed, and just as the apple was about to meet Mr. Newton, the elevator stopped, and the doors opened.
"That was so cool!" Jackie said, emerging from the elevator.
"Just like the tower of terror!" Jade added, wobbling off the elevator.
Suddenly, all the girls stopped. They're mouths dropped open as they realized who saved them. Severus was dusting off his robes when he felt the stares of at least eleven girls. He looked up.
"Oh, dear god." He muttered, and he disapperated.

"Take the bloody medicine, Severus!" Andromeda growled as she held out a spoon of disgusting smelling medicine to Severus, to aid his hangover.
"I don't want to!" Severus said, folding his arms. "I'll be fine."
"You were complaining non-stop about a headache." Andromeda replied. "Open your mouth!"
"You're not my mother!" Severus said. "Leave me alone."
"Come on, Severus," Andromeda said, getting frustrated. "It's just like a muggle potion!"
Severus was not amused. "You asked for it." Andromeda said, shrugging.
"Here comes the Hogwarts Express!" She said, making that annoying voice one makes when entertaining a small child. "Choo choo! It has to get through the Severus Tunnel, or it will crash and all the children will... die...." Andromeda realized that that was more of an incentive for Severus to keep his mouth shut..
"Fine." Andromeda pouted. "I don't care if you have a head ache."
Severus nodded at her, and walked into the bathroom. Andromeda folded her arms, and sat on her bed, turning the TV on to 'Oprah', a rather interesting talk show that I have taken up just to see what Oprah's wearing this time.
"Today on Oprah," Oprah said, smiling that smile that had to be 40 watts, "We will talk to a member of the audience who just showed up. He's the author of 6 books and an autobiography, and has won 'Most Charming Smile' award six times. Here he is-..."
Andromeda sat up. He couldn't be on the Tele... Severus had just shown him to his room. And locked him in. And made sure there were no pointy objects.
"Gilderoy Lockhart!" Oprah finished, and, sure enough, Gilderoy went stumbling into the middle of Andromeda's screen.
"Gilderoy," Oprah said, as Gilderoy sat down, unable to avert his eyes from the screen with his huge picture on it, "You're a superstar... apparently... what are you planning to do next?"
"Well, Oprah," Gilderoy said, smiling as if trying to outdo his hostess, "I'm actually getting married to the quite lovely, brilliant love of my life. Andromeda Stone."
Andromeda gave out a gasp of horror as a picture of her popped up on the screen. The only picture Gilderoy had of her, one of her glaring at the camera and making an obscene gesture that was edited out.
"Severus!" Andromeda managed to squeal, "HOW DID HE GET OUT?!"
Severus came out of the bathroom, and glared at the psychopath who was squealing at pointing at the screen.
"What do you want?" He asked, not really caring what she wanted at all.
"Look!" She breathed, pointing once again furiously at the TV.
Severus looked. Andromeda, sure enough, had a right to be hysterically pointing at the Tele. On the screen was Gilderoy, happy as can be, showing Oprah how to use his wand.
~*~
That's all, folks. Saw HPCS, it was really awesome, except for the fact that the screen was screwed up and I had to miss teatime. (I'm addicted to that stuff...) Anyway, I would recommend seeing it if you like seeing Severus kick Gilderoy's ass. Tune in next week, same bat time, same bat channel.
Next time: Severus and Andromeda have to stop Gilderoy and erase the memories of Oprah's audience, most of the chapter is from Gilderoy's POV. I'm gonna have loads of fun with this one.
