Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, and I don't own Azdio, and I don't own any of the characters that make cameos in this fic, k? I do, however, own Aseku and I will be most upset if you use her without my permission. THANX!!!

Author's Note: Ok guys, it turns out Azdio's kinda mad at me for sending her to the desert, so she took away my notebook privileges. Now I'm stuck using a laptop, WHICH IS FINE WITH ME!! Anyway, just thought I'd let you know why I don't have the notebook anymore. Enjoy the story!!

SHUT UP OVER THERE!!!

Snape: (A/N: Everyone has eaten) Ok, where am I going to sleep?

Aseku: You can sleep in my brother's room.

Snape: Why isn't your brother sleeping there? Did he wise up and run away, or did your demonic dog kill him in his sleep?

Aseku: Nah, he's just away at college.

Snape: Oh… I see. (looks down at Mickey) Where does he sleep?

Aseku: Wherever he wants. So, how about it Mick? Where you gonna sleep tonight?

Mickey: (looks around my brother's room and jumps onto his bottom bunk)

Snape: No no no no no. He is NOT sleeping in here with me.

Aseku: Ok, you can sleep on the couch if you want.

Snape: What?! The dog has precedence over me?!

Aseku: *shrugs* His house. You're the guest here in case you forgot.

Snape: (muttering) More like prisoner.

Aseku: (sharply) What was that?!

Mickey: *growls*

Snape: *sigh* Nothing…

Aseku: Good. Now take your pick: bed or couch.

Snape: Can't you at least guarantee that he won't bite me during the night?

Aseku: Oh don't worry!! Mickey never bites people unless they're threatening a person in his family.

Snape: Really?

Aseku: Really. *yawns* Well, I'm going to bed. Take your pick of your sleeping location and shut up. I've got school tomorrow and I have to get up at 5:30 to catch the bus.

Snape: But the dog's hogging the bed.

Aseku: Hello!! Bunk beds!! Two bunks!!

Snape: But I don't want the top bunk! I have a tendency of rolling over in my sleep. Can't you make him move?

Aseku: Tough break. How about this, I think my brother has some old baby rails. I could put those up for you.

Snape: No, no, I'll be fine…

Aseku: Don't be silly!! I insist!!

*10 Minutes Later*

Aseku: There you go!!

Snape: (looks in horror at the two rails attached to the top bunk, realizing that they're covered in pink hearts and rattles) No way. I'm going to sleep on the couch.

Aseku: Oh no you don't! I just spent ten minutes digging out and setting up those rails for you! You're sleeping here.

Snape: *grumble* But I don't want to… *sigh* Can you at least make them seem a little more… mature… and maybe a little more masculine?

Aseku: *sigh* That's it. Then I'm going to bed. (types something on her laptop and the rails turn a deep mahogany color that perfectly matches the wood of the bed) That better?

Snape: I suppose.

Aseku: Good. Bed. Now!

Snape: But it's too early for bed! I usually don't go to bed for another hour!

Aseku: Let me pretend I care for a minute. (puts on a sympathetic face) Ok, I'm done. BED!! (stalks over to her room and slams the door)

Snape: *sigh* I'm not tired yet. (catches sight of a small T.V.) Ah! One of those muggle entertainment devices, what did the girl call those? Ah yes! A television. Now if I can just remember how to work it… I remember! I have to find a small device called a remote. (starts looking around the room until he spots the remote lying on the nightstand next to the bed Mickey is currently laying on) Crap! (looks at Mickey, who returns the glance) Ok, mutt, I know you're as bored as I am.

Mickey: (eyes Snape suspiciously)

Snape: So I have a proposition to make. If you let me grab the remote, I'll let you watch television.

Mickey: (thinks for a moment then snorts)

Snape: (grabs the remote) Nice choice mutt.

Mickey: (growls warningly)

Snape: *sigh* Fine, I'll call you Mickey from now on.

Mickey: (snorts happily)

Snape: (turning on the T.V.) Ok, let's see. (turns on an old Gilligan's Island marathon) What is this junk? (flips to Emergency Vets on Animal Planet) DISGUSTING!! Why do muggles find it necessary to watch other muggles pulling animals innards out?! (flips again, this time to a commercial for the new Harry Potter movie) WHAT THE?!?! What is this?!

Aseku: (from the next room) SHUT UP!!! GO TO SLEEP SEVERUS!!

Snape: You wouldn't believe what is on the television!

Aseku: (stomps into the room) WHAT?!

Snape: It's an advertisement for a movie about us, the wizards!

Aseku: (getting really, really P.O.'d) You mean to tell me that you woke me up… FOR A T.V. COMMERCIAL?!?!

Snape: Yes, but it's about-

Aseku: I COULD NOT CARE LESS WHAT IT'S ABOUT!! YOU ARE GOING TO LAY DOWN ON YOUR BED AND GO TO SLEEP!! IF NOT, YOU ARE AT LEAST GOING TO STAY QUIET!! I WILL NOT BE WOKEN UP AGAIN!!

Snape: Yes but-

Aseku: NO BUTS!! I DON'T CARE IF YOUR LUNGS ARE FALLING OUT OF YOUR CHEST!! YOU WILL NOT WAKE ME UP AGAIN!! I have to get up at 5:30, which means you will have to do the same. LIGHTS OUT!!! (Aseku storms back to her room and slams the door again)

Snape: Why do I have to-

Aseku: QUIET!!!

Snape: *sigh* I guess I could try to go to sleep now. (turns out the lights)

*In the middle of the night*

Aseku: (waking up to a loud rumbling) What the… what is that? (walks over to Snape's room and finds him snoring louder than a chainsaw) SEVERUS!!!

Snape: (jerking awake) Huh? Wha? *groan* It's two o'clock a.m., Aseku! What do you want?

Aseku: You were snoring.

Snape: You woke me up to tell me I was snoring?

Aseku: (pulls out a tape recorder and plays it) Hear that?

Snape: (covering his ears) Ahh!! What is that AWEFUL noise?!

Aseku: What I had to sleep to.

Snape: That's me?!

Aseku: Bingo. (hands Snape a roll of duct tape) Fix the problem or face my sleep-deprived wrath. (walks back to her bedroom)

Snape: Well what does she expect me to do with this? (looks at Mickey) Do you know?

Mickey: (gives Snape a bewildered look)

Snape: Ah! I'm losing it! I'm talking to a DOG!!

Mickey: (growls a little)

Snape: This is insane. I'm just going back to sleep and hoping I don't snore anymore.

*The next morning*

Snape: (walking out to the kitchen and seeing nothing but a note on the table) What's this?

Note: Dear Severus,

I'll be home at about 2:45. The pantry and fridge are open to you.

Stay out of trouble and let the dog out a couple of times. Thanks!

Aseku

Snape: Well that sounds simple enough. (Mickey walks in and looks up at Snape with pleading eyes) What do you want?

Mickey: (stares at Snape then looks pointedly at the door)

Snape: Oh, I see. You have to go outside, huh?

Mickey: (trots over to the door and starts dancing around, barking)

Snape: Shut up! Shut up! I'm coming! (opens the door and Mickey bolts out) Well that was easy enough. (looks out the window and doesn't see Mickey anywhere) Uh-oh… this can't be good.

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

Uh-oh, what'd Snape do now? Can he possibly have lost Mickey? Or is the evil little monster just playing a trick on him? More importantly, how will Aseku react when she finds out Mickey is gone? Find out in the next chapter! Review!!
