GREAT response kids! Absolutely great! I'm sorry for the Big-time-no-update but as you know things have been kinda hectic! but alas there is more bad news-I won't update *this* Saturday or Sunday (25th and 26th) because that is my Birthday (on Sunday) and I have to go to my father's. So sorry for the no update then ok? But remember my birthday! LOL. It's a shame that on the Friday just before then (24th) my Nan is being cremated, I will not update then either, sorry. But anyways here we go-

Oh one more thing! The name 'Kick' on the THANKYOU'S page was MEANT to be 'KiKi' my spell-check just fried it and changed it to 'kick' big sorry to KiKi!

Oh and this was too large to upload so it's in 3 parts like the last chapter (3) it's listed 4A, B and C. PLUS I KNOW that Flint and Wood and all the others I'm gonna mention have left by now but I still LOVE the characters and I want them to be all the same age kinda ok? So there we are more 'Woody' for those gals out there (mebbe some guys...eeew) and evilness from Flint for those true-Slyth's out there! I'd take my hat off to you all but Kit's currently sleeping on it-ever heard of the phrase 'let a sleeping dog lie?' well you oughta see a cat when she wakes up!

Thankyou's and response to review as always are at the bottom-Chow!

LAST time on TBAPAS!

~*~

Bedtime for the new residents of Hogwarts, everyone has been sorted, although poor China didn't get to be in Slytherin, Snape looks a bit pissed! But hey guess what lovely lessons these kids have first? MWAHAHAHAHA! Oh and if anyone see's a half naked man screaming 'Help' along the A49 in Shropshire-UK, please bring him home. Answer's to the name of-Alan Rickman, Mwahahaha! Come home to me Severus! You know you want me! LOL ~*~

What chapter is this? Chapter 4A I guess-

As morning broke, students everywhere began to wake. Taking showers and dressing excitedly for today was the start of the new term! The morning looked bright and happy to all-well with the exception of a certain raven- haired potions master. Severus Snape grumbled to himself and carried on preparing for his first lesson of this term, of course Snape would have preferred to swim to the bottom of the lake and challenge the squid to an arm-wrestling contest than have those- 'Gryffindor's! So brave and fearless, not so fearless around the likes of ME though are they? Hah! Never as good as a Slytherin though. Too pompous and dumb-witted-'

'Good morning Severus!' came from somewhere behind him, Snape dropped a potion bottle, it smashed open and the blue potion began to seep into the cracks of the floor, as it did so a light steam came from it and was inhaled by Snape. His eyes began to water as the potion took effect, the label on the smashed bottle read 'Cleansing tears.'

'Ack! Albus! A-anyone would have thought I'd be u-used to you doing that by n-now but-I'm not!!!' glaring watery-eyed at the age'd face poking through the fireplace.

'Ah now Severus, calm yourself. Getting ready for the day?' Now that his whole body was present, Albus Dumbledore dusted himself down, and smiled brightly at the other man. 'Dear, dear my boy, what have you managed to drop today?'

Snape refrained from informing the headmaster that *he* in fact was the cause of the spillage, it would be just *too* much hard work. 'C-cleansing tears. P-poppy wanted them for some homesick children this year, l-last year apparently she ran out and desperately wanted to make s-sure that it didn't happen again. So I'm brewing another extra b-batch for the stores.'

'Ah well keep up the good work, eh Severus? Wouldn't want to think you were going slack on us? Haha!' Dumbledore's eyes grew to twinkling beacons. Snape felt almost blinded, the tears and Albus were overwhelming and he was not sure he could deal with two at once. Snape decided to get Albus out of his room, 'Y-yes, yes I will do, but this needs silence, c-concentration and care so-'

Dumbledore took the hint, 'Ah yes, very well. See you at breakfast!' he said in such a way that wagered no arguing, then figure of Dumbledore disappeared into the empty fireplace. Snape sighed and started to clean the mess up, sneezing all the while.

***In the Slytherin common room***

'Where is everyone? AM I the only one awake or what?' Virgo folded her legs underneath her, now in her Slytherin uniform, 'I don't think green really *is* my colour actually.' She said plucking at her tie.

'Well, yah better get used to it!' A blonde haired girl that Virgo didn't know had just wandered down the stairs, she had a face like a pug-nosed dog that had just licked a nettle. 'Oh yeah? And who are you?' Pug-nose smiled, a tad maliciously, 'I'M Pansy Parkinson, and YOU are?' Virgo grimaced, this girl was already giving her a migraine, 'My friends just call me 'V,' *you* can call me Virgo.' A glaring contest began...

***Meanwhile upstairs in the girls dorm of the Slytherin house***

'I Don't wanna get up yet...no mum it's not time to go to school!' Amber just rolled over as someone tried waking her, she wasn't exactly a morning person to say the least.

Having no luck in waking Amber, Artemis went to the next bed. ~WHAT a sight~ she thought, ~truly a kodak moment!~ she chuckled quietly as the foot of Kirsten came from under the covers and out of the bottom of the bed. Her face was serene, the only thing that ruined it was the thumb- sucking, 'I wanna ride the pony!' Art almost flew backwards onto Kirsten's cat, Biggins. A large white cat with Orange paws. 'Like a small lion, hey can *you* wake Kirsten up?' Amber giggled as the big tom rolled onto his back and gave a plaintiff, 'Meow!' she bent down to rub his stomach and he produced a noise like a mini-vacuum cleaner!

'W-what's going on? I *swear* officer I didn't steal the car! Oh it's just you...wha'ddyah wake me up for?' Kirsten's eyes as soon as they opened focused on the figure of a bent Artemis, stroking Biggins, making the noise like a goddamned car backfiring! 'And I was having the coolest dream ever too!' Art snorted, 'Yeah stealing a car! Oh no please don't arrest me officer!' she snickered and her mouth was then filled with pillow!

'Shut it! Aw shit man! We gotta get ready-' at a glance, 'Ok so *I* have to get ready, anyone in the loo?' at Art's negative Kirsten grabbed her wash- gear and fled into the bathroom. Leaving Art with a few other snoring girls to wake, 'Why me?'

***Meanwhile in the Gryffindor's rooms***

'Morning all!' Ara crowed, and the response wasn't good-

'What are yah mad? Go back to bloody sleep...' nestling down into the covers once again, that was Sarah T.

'I'm too tired to get up...hey! Get off me Ara!' being dragged out of bed and unceremoniously dumped on the floor Silver rubbed her head, 'Ok so I'm up now! Which way's the bathroom?' at the nod of Ara's head she scampered off to the left.

'Bloody hell! Who's sock is this?' Suzy lifted the offensive garment and threw it at Sarah's pillow-covered head.

'Ooopsy! Sorry mate that's mine!' Vicky ran forwards, hopping around because her stocking were round her ankles, 'ACK!' *CRASH* 'Owch...I-I'm ok...at least I *think* nothing's broken.'

'Well,' Ara said laughing at Sarah's now pillow-AND-sock-covered head, 'if the smell doesn't kill her then at least she will be awake by now!' at this the sock fell off and Sarah's head appeared, 'Ugh! I'm hungry! What time is it?'

'It's about...7:30 kiddo! We get down there for 9:00 then breakfast finishes at 10:00' Ara supplied with a smile, she was already dressed and washed.

'Koolies an hour for breakfast!' scampering off to another toilet down the hall and bolting the door, there were three in all, but all were being used currently.

'Kat are you coming down for breakfast?' Suzy now dressed with BOTH socks on, nudged the girl asleep in the next bed to her, minding Kit of course who was fast asleep in the crook of Kat's knees.

Like a volcano erupting the covers flew off the bed, covering a startled Kitiara who let out a scared, *Meep!* 'Breakfast? Food?! ALRIGHT!' Kat jumped out of bed and raced for the bathroom-only Silver was in there, 'KAAAT! GET OUT!'

'Jesus, I gotta pee like yesterday man!' getting thrown out of the toilet she was looking at a plant pot next to the bathroom door longingly.

'DON'T EVEN THINK OF GOING NEAR HYACINTH!' the voice from the bathroom roared once again, albeit louder since she didn't have her automatic toothbrush in her mouth now.

'Shit sorry! Ok didn't know it was PMT time this early!' Kat ran off cheekily before Silver could open the door and throw something at her.

'If I was out there you would be DEAD by now!' less threatening since Silver was washing her face with a red flannel.

Down the hall from the ruckus Kryn vacated another bathroom fully dressed and smelling of peaches, 'Here yah go Kat,' thumbing the direction from which she just came from, 'all yours!'

'Cheers Kry'!' running crab-like to the toilet.

***In the male part of the Slytherin's den***

Marco Michio was adorned in his school robes, lashing his wand about menacingly at a cowering house elf whilst Draco Malfoy laughed gutturally. 'Now get back to where you came from you stupid creature!' the elf disappeared without being told twice-it had only been trying to make the beds!

'Excellent Michio, I can see you being quite the *asset* to this house, I trust that you find your rooms satisfactory. I am however used to far more greater things since my house is twice the size of this entire school, and did I mention the orchards? They are-'

Marco let the blithering boy carry on, soon he would rule the Slytherin house.

***Once again with the Gryff gals!***

With a mouth-full of toothpaste, 'Anyone seen Kit?' Kat slooshed the words unpleasantly, laughter was heard outside the bathroom door as a girl answered-

'On your bed, looking kinda pissed actually.' Snickers ensued.

'Ah leave her then, I just needed to know in case I have to sprint down the stairs.'

'Um...okay, Kat where did you get her anyway?' a voice came from the outside.

'This guy at a market, she was cheap and cute looking so I bought her-more fool me! I named her a nice sweet name too! Shoulda called her 'Bruiser' or sommat with venom in it,' she spat into the sink once again after swilling, 'she makes Freddie Cruger's claws look like toothpicks anyways.' After finishing in the bathroom Kat went out and found that everyone was ready, most of them downstairs now, only her and Kryn left. 'Aw well Brekki time! I hope 'lo waited for me.'

***At the hall, Breakfast!***

'So Dumbledore wants everyone to finish their breakfasts and then he knows everyone will be in then, no-one can resist the food here!' Percy Weasley finished relaying the things that Dumbledore had told all the prefects, he was now known as one of the *infamous* twin Weasley's brothers that Ara was so hung up on.

'Ha! Makes Strethscope's food look like Bubble and Squeak,'

'That's cause it WAS bubble and squeak!' as the laughter subsided and the Gryffindor's piled their plates full a cheery voice from the door startled everyone-

'Mornin' all!' Kat walked in, followed by a red-eyed Kalo.

'Jeez, Kat! What have you done to Kalo?'

'Uh? Oh he's just a bit tired, yah know new place an' all that...you gonna eat that?' Pointing to Vicky's toast, Vicky shovelled it into her mouth before Kat got a chance to even smell it.

'Actually,' Kalo grumbled, 'I was up all night because a certain Gryffindor girl was playing truth or dare in the common room!'

'Trueff, abffolutelyff!' Kat managed to mumble around a piece of buttered toast. A piece that Vicky hadn't managed to wolf down on account of her giving herself indigestion from the first piece. She was now gulping down pumpkin-juice rapidly to clear the wedged toast somewhere down her windpipe!

'So, who was it playing?'

'Just Me, Kat and Andros, pretty sad like.' He sniffed indignantly and looked to his left disgustedly, Kat was making aeroplane noises as she 'flew' the last piece of toast into her mouth.

'Your mouth IS like a runway anyway Kat, I'm sure there was no need for the sound-effects.'

'Shutff uff! Juff cauffe youff haffent gotf a healffy appetiteff.' she grumbled spraying crumbs onto her plate.

'No, but at least *I* have something called manners,' Kalo said wiping himself clean of the stray crumbs.

'Yeah, so do I! I say please, and another word beginning with a *T*...okay so I forgot that one but hey 1 out of...erm...how many counts?' she licked her fingers clean of the butter and gave Suzy a charming grin, 'you gonna eat that?'

***Slytherin table***

Artemis had finally managed to rouse everyone in the girls dorm and had trooped them all off to breakfast, they were all here and waiting further instructions from Dumbledore as to what the day would entail.

'Hey guess what?'

'What?'

'Pigs-butt, haha!'

'Your humour is stifling my senses, really it is,' rolling her eyes for the umpteenth time Feli' decided to block the incessant *jokes* from her already worried head and turned away. Her other side wasn't much better-'So who are *you?*' Great, this guy again! This guy had been eyeing her up all morning, finally he had plucked up the courage to ask her who she actually was, ~Sheesh!~ she thought, ~I KNOW Gryff's are the courageous ones but you would think that the Slytherin's wouldn't be *all* spineless sneaks, but hey this guy just proved me wrong yet again.~

Flint leant over closer to the new girl, breathing in her hair, ~I could have any girl i wanted in Slytherin, perhaps they are the same from Strethscope~ he edged his hand near her knee, and soon found out different- 'Touch me and I'll break every bone in your body! True Strethscope may not be *big* for it's magical talents but that does mean that the *physical* side is more developed.' She crushed his fingers within her grasp, her dainty fingers turning white from the effort. 'Ack! Ok, ok!'

**Furthur on down the table***

'So, what do we do today?' Virgo asked concerned, her earlier 'fight' with Pansy quite forgotten, that was until the person in question answered her own question-

'You wait for your timetables stupid! EVERYONE knows that!' fluffing out her lacquer filled hair indignantly.

'Listen *Petunia* I don't give a flying-fuck, ok? All I wanted to know was what we were *doing* today, If I wanted to talk to an asshole I'd fart!'

And then the Slytherin table was choking simultaneously.

***To the kitchens***

We see many little legs rushing about as the house-elves were getting ready for a bigger food order this morning! There were after all 20 more mouths to feed, but fortunately a staff of house-elves were working overtime and so that meant there would be more than enough for everyone!

Although in the midst of the hustle and the bustle, the making and the baking, a noise rises over. Drawing the attention of onlookers, except for the rest of the house-elfs since they all had jobs to do, unfortunately it appeared that two of their kind had forgotten what they were *supposed* to be doing-

'Winky is telling you Dobby! You is getting paid and you is liking it! That is BAD for a *loyal* house-elf!' Winky, as she introduces herself, is standing atop of a refrigerator, smaller ears than most of the elf's in the kitchens, since the majority of them were male. Females were known to be smaller, in most animals. Whilst Dobby-a menacing version of the smaller female elf is on the floor below, but he is not looking so menacing now. No, NOW he is looking rather silly covered in some...cake?

'I is telling you Dobby!' throwing a piece of apple pie at the elf in question, 'I had enough of you!' she was near tears again, and wasn't about to let up on her assault, until she remembered something, 'That pie was for Mr Dumbledore Sir! OH DOBBY! You is making me so mad that I forget what I is being told! You IS a BAD elf!' she jumped from her *castle* and ran off once again, still sobbing, but more than before at her mistake. She looked to be running off to collect apples, again.

Dobby was now left, wiping apple and crumble from his face he sighed and sat upon a small stool, house-elf size. 'How can Dobby show he is good elf? Good elf for Winky, when he is bad?' Dobby had often heard that girls liked, 'Bad boys' but when he was 'bad' as such he only got abuse, not as bad as he had done before granted-being a slave of Lucius Malfoy wasn't a good thing.

But Dobby was determined, as all house-elves were to *please* and so with a sparkle in his brown eyes he thrust out his small jaw defiantly and said in a voice that was stronger than he appeared, 'Dobby will just have to try this thing they call, *leather*

***Back yet again to Gryff's***

'Kat, you can get lock-jaw from doing that you know?'

'But it's smegging Harry Potter!!!'

'No more 'Red Dwarf' reruns for you young lady.'

'Yeah it's the local celeb' and all that.' Waved a boy named Roy.

'Whose bush and freckles?' that was Kat, finished with her 'ample' breakfast off everyone 'else's' plates she was now scouring over the hall and she had come to rest on the figure of the famous Harry Potter walking into the hall with two sidekicks.

'Oh those two, well *bush* is Hermione Granger and *Freckles* is Ronald Weasley'

'Ah right...prefer Bush and Freckles.'



TBC...TODAY HOPEFULLY IF FF.NET WILL LET ME!

*********************************************************************

'Oh so we meet Pot-head and his pals! Bush and Freckles...how cruel can she be?! And an elf in leather? PLEASE tell me if anyone finds my sanity, won't you?'' Kat does a dance before the readers, 'Oh and a cookie to whoever spots the direct *Toy Story 1* quote! China has already got one off me for something or other, and I ate about 3 so there's not many left! C'mon it's a chocie chip one! Yah KNOW yah want it!' talks to someone whimpering off screen, 'no Alan NOT for you! I'll feed you later.' Waggles finger at a leashed Rickman who is shivering in the corner with a blanket around him, 'I had to microchip him! He keeps *getting lost* I'm sorry guys but I am the leader of the, 'Rickman Rights' group and I think he has been overworked. So I'm keeping him for a while, just until he is on his feet. Actually, with me I doubt he will be on his feet at ALL! MWAHAHAHA!' grins evilly! Alan whimpers as the manic girl raises her hands above her head and thunder is heard outside, 'PLEASE! Tell me what you want and I shall give it you! Please!' Kat turns on him and smiles sweetly, 'Ah my dear Mr Rickman, I want you, you silly boy!' Screams are heard as the scene fades, 'Oh god-NOOO!'
