A/N: I do now own Any Harry Potter character or Chuck E. Cheese, although if I did I would be rich, living off the invention of a robotic rat doing stupid songs for a bunch of six year olds. I don't think I would like that at all. If I owned Harry Potter, I would be J.K. Rowling, and she doesn't do fanfics, I guess. I mean it would be cool if she did. I do, however own the employees at the Chuck E. Cheese, because I made them up! HAHAHAH!



Lydia was a fixture at the place from now on, and she never left Snape's side. Maybe it was because he was English, maybe it was because of her fascination with rodents, or possibly it could be the fact that she never saw his face before. Either way, he could still scare little children without staring at them or speaking dangerously quietly to them or prowling around them, making them nervous. Even when he dressed up as the rat, he scared the kids. He learned much about Lydia, although, much of what he learned was volunteered by her. When she was little, her parents divorced, and then she was struck by lightening, after winning a battle of Leukemia. When she was eight, she was in a car accident, in which she broke all of her limbs, and while in the hospital, her Leukemia came out of remission, and when during one of her operations on one of the complications from the car Accident, they removed her appendix by mistake. Then when she was 11, while watching a boat race with her father, she leaned over and then she fell into the river and was carried upstream for five miles before anyone could catch her. Later that year, she got trapped in her mom's apartment complex while it was on fire. To make up for it, she took her daughter to an amusement park. She always wanted to ride the roller coaster. She finally got to, but when it was in the midst of going upside down, it stopped, and she was stuck there for five hours.

Professor Trelawney couldn't predict misfortunes like the ones that have happened to this girl, he thought.

"Why do you still come here? I don't see many people here your age"

"It's the only place where I don't get injured badly. Plus the games are super keen!"

"I see" Snape said. Super keen? What kind of language is that?

"I als- OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH PINBALL!" and with that, she left. Although her story was kind of sad, he was glad to have a moment to himself, he retired to the back room, where he first caught glimpse of himself as a rat. Needless to say, he wasn't pleased with it. Not his choice of wardrobe at all. And with that, he threw up. Luckily, he removed the rat head just in time. Then, Lydia came in.

"What are- OH MY GOD! WHO ARE YOU!?!?!?! I HAVE MASE! BACK OFF!"

"It's AAARRRRRRRGHHHHHHHH! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!!?!?!" Lydia had just sprayed Snape with her pepper spray she always had in her pocket.

"Oh is that you? I thought you were a murderer or something. Sorry."

"Why do you carry that with you?" He managed to get out through the burning pain stinging his face and eyes.

"I got mugged last week and have been carrying it with me since."



Kyle found Severus in pain in the back room and thankfully let him have the rest of the day off. Kyle also offered to drive him home, but he adamantly refused, and got in his 1990 black Volvo station wagon and was off. If he didn't know any better, some of Lydia's bad luck was rubbing onto him. He iced his face, and then watched the Anna Nicole show, and had to Ice it some more. Apparently, he didn't like her. By this point he was starving, so he decided to have some Mexican. Little did he know that it was full of Jalapenos. Severus was really missing Hogwarts by now. He was even beginning to miss the Gryffindors. Even Harry Potter.



AN- REVIW!!!!!
