All My Life
*~* The End of Sir Severus Snape *~*
"James, we can't just run like mad men through the castle, looking for Snape," Sirius said as he ran after his friend through the portrait hole.
"We can't?" James said stopping, while running his fingers through his hair. Snape had just told Lily that he was dead, scaring her half to death. Now it was his time to die.
"No. We can't. We need a plan. Something brilliant. A brilliant plan I'd say. And I'd reckon that I am just the man to do it!" Sirius exclaimed, clapping his hands together.
"You'd reckon? What are you, eighty?"
"No, well, just shut up James. Let's go talk to everyone, and we will develop a plan. A bril…"
"Brilliant plan, yes I get it, come on." James said, walking towards the common room.
"Ok guys, so we all know what's gonna happen, right?" Sirius asked Ava, Remus, and Lily.
"James!?" Elle said as she came up to everyone.
"Hey Elle!" James said as he got up and gave her a hug. She hadn't seen him while he was awake, because she had gone to visit her family and wasn't there when he woke up from the coma.
"I'm so glad you're alright! We were so worried! Especially Lily!" Elle kept talking to him, but his mind stopped when she said 'Lily.' Lily had been worried about him!
"Elle! Quit yapping!" Sirius said, rolling his eyes.
"Sorry just a little overwhelmed here!" She said flopping on the couch next to Remus, "What's going on?"
"Oh jeese…" Sirius groaned as he explained the WHOLE operation to Elle. Ava was grateful though, because she was still a little foggy on what her part in the whole 'get back at Snape' thing was.
"So tonight, the plan goes into action," Sirius said leaning back and rubbing his hands together. His handy work going into play.
"Girls, you ready?" Lily asked as the other two nodded their heads.
"Lets go." Elle said as she left the dorm.
Tonight, the girl's part goes into action, and tomorrow, Sirius and Remus work their magic.
As the girls grabbed James' invisibility cloak from its hiding place, they walked out the portrait hole. Once they snuck into the Slytherins 2nd year boys dorm, they put a charm on Snape, so that he sees whatever someone wants him to. This someone was Elle. Once this was done, their phase was complete.
"Did you do it?" Sirius asked as he leaned over the bacon.
"Yeah, if it worked, then he should be seeing something any second now."
Just as the words left Lily's lips, Elle flicked her wand, and Snape turned towards the Gryffindor table while his eyes fell on Sirius. His jaw dropped and he rubbed his eyes, and then looked like he was going to faint.
"Did you see the look on his face?" Ava grinned
"Yeah, but we have to put the second part of the plan into action ASAP. Ok, knowing him, the nosy git, if me and Remus leave, he will follow to see what's going on. Lily, you bring this food up to James, and Elle and Ava, follow us so you can see what Snape does." Sirius said as him Remus got up from the table. "You remember the cue, right Elle?"
"Ok." The girls answered and Elle nodded, as Lily ran to go see James, and Ava and Elle waited to follow Sirius and Remus.
"James!" Lily said as she entered the common room and ran towards her boyfriend. They were together all the time, but still haven't had their first kiss.
"Is it over?" He asked as he ate some bacon.
"No, they are probably just starting it now."
"This is gonna be great! I can't wait for tonight!" James said as he grabbed some toast and stared into the fire.
"Ok Remus, here we go, I see him coming." Sirius whispered.
"Yeah, Sirius, why was it so loud in the common room last night? Was it you and Ava?" Remus said loudly, making sure Snape could here.
"No, Remus. I'm just having some trouble coping with James dying and everything." Sirius said, much to Snape's surprise. Over by a suit of armor, Ava swore she saw Snape's eyes widen with a panicked look.
"Why was there a lot of noise then, Sirius." Elle laughed at Remus' attempt to be non-chalant. He was not an actor, at all.
"Well, this person came in, acting like James. And I knew it was an imposter, because Lily said that he was dead. So I killed him." Sirius said, hoping that he wouldn't start laughing.
Snape tensed up, he was the one who informed Lily that James was dead.
"Sirius," Remus said, backing away, "you're a murderer! You, you killed someone! I can't believe you!" Now, Elle thought, Remus was being convincing.
"Yeah, but now, I'm afraid you know too much. Sorry, your gonna have to go too." This was Elle's cue. She flicked her wand just as Sirius stepped towards Remus and yelled, "Avada Kedavra!"
At least, that's what Snape heard. What Sirius actually said was, "Hope this works!?" The charm the girls put on Snape had worked, as he saw Remus fall to the ground in a flash of green light that Elle had conjured.
"Oh my God!" He screamed and then quickly covered his mouth. Snape's location had been revealed, as Sirius turned towards him.
"Snape!" Sirius muttered through clenched teeth, "What did you see?"
"Your, your a murderer! I'm telling Dumbledore!" Snape said as he ran off.
"You can run Snape, but you can't hide, I could Avada Kedavra you with out a second thought. Remember that!" He yelled towards the retreating figure, as Snape whimpered and quickened his pace.
Sirius went over to help Remus up, as Ava and Elle came out from behind their suit of armor, and ran up and gave the boys a hug.
"That was brilliant, boys." Ava grinned.
"Let's get back to Lily and James though, so we can run over what's gonna happen tonight." Sirius said as he started running towards the fat lady portrait, the rest following.
Once in the common room, the six sat down and went over that night's plans. James and Remus stayed in the common room while the rest of the six went to class, to make sure that Snape really thought they were dead.
All through Potions, Sirius sat there, giving Snape glares. Through-out lunch and dinner, Snape was missing, probably from fear of being killed by Sirius. After dinner, Elle, Ava, and Sirius headed up to the common room with food for their 'dead' friends. Four drumsticks, three bowls of mashed potatoes, two games of wizard's chess, and four Potion's essays later, they were ready for part 3 of Sirius' 'brilliant' plan.
"Girls, we bid you adieu, and will see you in a few hours." Remus said as the boys headed up stairs, and the girls did the same.
"Ready everyone?" Remus asked his five friends under the invisibility cloak.
"What's their pass word?" Sirius asked.
"Mudblood." Ava answered as they stepped into the vacant Slytherin common room, and headed up to the second year boys dormitory. Once they got inside, Lily cast a charm on James and Remus so they were transparent, like a ghost.
"Ok," Sirius whispered, "I know my cue, so start whenever you're ready. The girls put a silencing charm on the room, so that the only one who could hear, were them, and Snape.
"So James," Remus said, standing next to Snape's bed, "do you think we should have warned Snape?"
Severus' eyes popped open as he heard voices, and he gasped at Remus and James' ghostly bodies. They pretended not to notice and kept talking.
"I don't know Remus. It is kind of his fault that we're dead."
"Well, actually, I'm dead because of that insane bastard Sirius. But, if it hadn't been for Snape… Yeah, I see your point." Remus nodded.
"Wa-warn me about what?" Snape said.
"Ah, the sleeping beauty awakes." Sirius said eerily, coming out of the shadows.
"Well, we were going to warn you about Sirius, coming to kill you and all, but the way I see it, you kind of deserve to be murdered in cold blood." James said, leaning over the bed at this last part.
"Guys, guys," Sirius said as he walked towards the bed, "I wouldn't murder him in cold blood!"
A look of relief passed over Snape's face.
"I would just kick his ass into the next millennium, and then maybe have something done to him, like, a werewolf bite. So that every second of every day he will be marred. Because he did something that is unforgivable. He killed a man. Though not directly, he still did it. He is just as much of a murderer as I am, and he should live forever in his wallowing self-pity, alone, knowing that." Sirius said, sending chills up and down Ava's spine. James, Remus and Sirius walked towards the door and opened it, allowing the girls in the cloak to get out, as Sirius turned back towards Snape.
"And don't go to Dumbledore, Snape my-boy. You'll only be hurting yourself." He waved his wand to take the silence charm off the other Slytherin boys, and shut the door. Snape sat there, afraid to move.
"I'm getting a little tired of tailing him, Sirius." James said from under the invisibility cloak. It was the next morning and they were following Snape, to see if he would go to Dumbledore.
"There he is!" Sirius said laughing, pointing down the corridor, where Snape was nervously talking to Dumbledore. As they took off the cloak, the girls walked out of the other corridor, and immediately saw what was happening.
"Ok, follow my lead," Sirius said as he started walking towards Dumbledore and Snape. Snape's back was to them, so as he was telling Dumbledore about James and Remus being dead and so on, Dumbledore could see the six Gryffindor's walking down the hall.
"And then I said, 'Orange ya glad I didn't say banana?'" He spoke as he laughed hysterically, and the others followed suit.
"And the ghosts of Remus and James came to me in the middle of the night, and…" Snape said, wringing his hands.
"Mr. Snape. Before you say another word, I'd like you to look behind you, and tell me what you see." Snape turned around, and then back at Dumbledore. He opened his mouth, then promptly shut it and did a double take.
"Hullo Severus, Headmaster," James nodded as they walked past them.
"Hold it!" Dumbledore yelled.
"Bloody hell! We were close too. Just a few more feet and home free…" Sirius said shaking his head.
"I've already heard Severus' version, your turn," he said smiling.
As Sirius preceded to tell the whole story, Dumbledore's smile quickly faded.
"I am very disappointed in all of you, and as of now your have 2 months of detention," He said toward the six, while Snape laughed.
"And you Severus. Two and a half months." Snape stopped short, and his mouth dropped.
I am SO SO SO SO SO SO sorry that this is so late, its just that I had finals this week, and I have just had TONS to do. I know, its no excuse, but hey, what can I say. And I am going to try to get the next chapter ASAP. I have a feeling I will be grounded for a while though, starting next week. Grades. Ugh. Thank you all for reviewing, and to all that were confused, James was in a coma, it wasn't a dream. He came out of his coma while Lily was sleeping. Get it? I hope so. Also, I'm sorry if the chapters have to much dialogue, a reviewer pointed it out to me. I tried to do less this chapter, but, I dunno if I succeeded.
I just want to say thank you again, and for all that asked, or care, I had strep throat. Ugh. Ok, well email me if you have any questions. Adios!
