Disclaimer: All characters are the property of JKR but the exception of myself and my friend Lacey.

Plot:  Simply?  THERE IS NONE.

In our last chapter: The Amor Potion affected everyone with the exception of our author, Lacey, and Severus.

Now: The other characters are – ahem – well, they've occupied themselves very well.  Harry is now hanging from the ceiling, which where Saerry tied him from a chandelier to keep him from bothering her.  Hermione and Draco got in a catfight trying to reach him, Ron tried to split them up, and all three ended up unconscious when their heads whacked together.  Lacey has now barricaded Remus under the chair she was hiding under and is now sitting on the couch with Saerry and Severus.  Voldemort is still staring at Saerry, who is sprawled on top of Severus and Lacey's laps asleep, while Sirius and Rita STILL fight in the background

And the only characters in the room at this time are Severus Snape, Draco Malfoy, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, Harry Potter, Voldemort, Saerry, Lacey, Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, and Rita Skeeter.

MOVING ON!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------

[Ah, we have returned again.  I'm the narrator if you don't recall and the insanity continues…]

Saerry: (snore)

Lacey: She's still asleep?

Sev: Being as she is lying across our laps snoring, it would appear so.

Harry: (swings back and forth from chandelier)  Can I come down now?

Sev and Lacey: NO!

Harry: Awww…

Saerry: (rolls over onto side)

Sev: (winces)  Ow.

Lacey: What?

Sev: She elbowed me.

Lacey: (eyes widen)  Ouch.

Saerry: (snore)

[Er, announcement.]

Sev: (sarcastically)  Oh, look.  The voice has returned.  Let me guess.  More bad news?

[Actually its good news.]

Saerry: (sits up hurriedly and looks around in awe)  Did I just hear the words 'good news'?"

Lacey: Yep

[You did indeed.]

Saerry: (grins)  Let me guess.  The potions about to wear off.

[Mmm-hmm.]

Saerry: Good.  Now I can get HIM to stop giving me puppy dog eyes.

Sev: That would be a great improvement.

Saerry: Gods, yes.  When does it wear off?

[Right about…now.]

Voldemort: (blinks and looks around)  What was I doing?

Rita and Sirius: (stop fighting and stare at each other)  What's going on?

Harry: (swings more furiously than before)  What am I doing on the ceiling?

Saerry: (laughs)  You mean they have no memory?

Sev: (grins evilly)  They will in a few moments…

Voldemort: (suddenly looks at Saerry and blanches)  How could I have fallen for YOU?

Sev: The potion causes you to fall for whoever you might possibly hold a fancy for.

Saerry: (large, anime sweatdrop appears on her forehead)  Oh, now that's gross.

Sirius: YOUR saying that?  What about ME?  (looks revolted)  Urgh.

Sev: I expected no less from you, Black.

Sirius: Why you slimy…

Saerry: BOYS.   (eyes glimmer dangerously)

Sirius: Meep.

Sev: Ha!

Saerry: Shut up, Sev.

Harry: (whines)  Can I come down now?  I'm getting sort of…dizzy.

Lacey: That would be from all the blood rushing to your head.

Sev: It might make him smarter.

Saerry: Maaaaaybe.  But…now.  I think I'll cut him down.

(a knife appears in the air by the rope tying Harry to the chandelier)

Harry: O_O  Er…maybe we should talk about this?

Saerry: Ah…..no.

(knife slices rope.  Dramatic horror music plays)

Harry: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!  Ooophf!

Ron: Ow.

Hermione: What hit me?

Draco: POTTER!

Harry: Sorry…

Saerry: Now that was funny.

Lacey: Y'know, in the real world, all four of them would've died.

Saerry: But we're not in the real world.

Lacey: Good point.

Sev: She always makes good points.

Saerry: Of course I do.  I'm the author

Remus: (bangs on the chair)

Lacey: Oops.  Heheh.  Forgot to let him out.

Saerry: At that Love Potion's worn off.

Harry: My head hurts.

Draco: Yeah.  From falling on mine!

[Um…]

Saerry: Please don't tell me…  I don't want to know…

[Then I won't tell you that the Canto Potion is about to take affect.]

Lacey: (pries up chair Remus is trapped under)  Don't we ever get a break?

Remus: Apparently not.  And I am sorry…

Lacey: Oh forget it.

Sev: Now we have to sing.

Ron: (squeaky voice)  Sing?

Draco: Don't tell me you can't sing, Weasley.

Ron: (meek voice)  No.

Draco: (laughs)

Hermione: (hits Draco over the head with frying pan)  Oh yay, oh hey, the drake has taken a break!

All: …….

Saerry: Saints and demons, its taken effect.

Lacey: I thought we weren't affected.

[You're not.]

Sev: But we still have to listen.

Lacey: Oh no…

Saerry: Oh yes…

[Let the torture begin!]

Saerry: (scowls)  We can easily begin your torture!

[o.o]

Saerry: That's what I thought you'd say…

Ron: Do we have to sing?

Sirius: Apparently we have no choice.

Ron: Do we at least get to choose?

[No.]

Rita: So who chooses?

[Our new guest.]

All: Not another one!

[Yep.]

Remus: Who?

(Lucius Malfoy appears and looks around in shock)

Malfoy: Where…?

Saerry: (sits up abruptly and rubs hands together with a glint in her eyes)  Sev, hand me a notepad and a pencil.

Lacey: I sense evil thoughts.

Saerry: Damn right.  Sev?

Sev: (hands notebook and pencil)

Saerry: (grins evilly and begins to scribble something down.)

(a huge snake appears and wraps its coils around Malfoy)

Draco: Father!

Sirius: Ah, what entertainment.

Hermione: That's cruel…but fun to watch.

Ron: (blink blink)

Harry: Can he die?

Remus: (shrugs)

Saerry: Yes.  (grins evilly and scribbles more)

(snake eats Malfoy then disappears)

Saerry: I feel better now.

Draco: You killed my father!

Saerry: Not really.  You lot aren't even really here.

Ron: You mean we're just dreaming?

Saerry: Something of that nature.

Draco: LET ME OUT!  (bangs on wall)

Lacey: Don't think that'll help.

Sev: No.

Saerry: Correct.  You lot aren't leaving just yet.  (eyes Skeeter)

Rita:  Eep!  O_O

Saerry: You.

Rita: (runs)

Saerry: COME BACK HERE, YOU POOR EXCUSE FOR A REPORTER!

Remus: Now what?

Sirius: (shrugs)

Sev: We wait.

Draco: THAT'S IT?

Harry: Hit him again, Hermione.

Hermione: (whacks Draco again with frying pan)

Draco: (falls unconscious)

Ron: Much better.

Lacey: (sighs and collapses onto couch)

Sev: Hmm.

[Well, I think that's all for today.  Until next time.]

Lacey: Or Saerry returns.

[Yes, that too.]
