Four and half-hours later, right before the start of the party, Professor Snape was transformed into his sixteen-year-old body.
"You could have at least made me into a last year student."
"Sorry Severus, But I remember you had a growth spurt during your last year. No, the students are less likely to recognize you as a sixteen-year-old.Anyway, it doesn't hurt for you to be younger that the people holding the party"
So Snape unwillingly arrived in the unused hall in the guise of a student in his second last year of Hogwarts. The year was large enough so that not everyone would know every student, especially not when that year also contained the famous Harry Potter.
/ God I hate that little twerp/
The hall was fairly packed with students from all houses. Snape did his best to keep away from those who he recognized as Slytherins as they were the most likely to discover him. So he wandered around alone for much of his time. He even grabbed a cup of punch for good measure.
/ I blame the punch/
The punch was alcoholic of course but Snape didn't realise how potent it actually was until he drank his fourth cup and found the room was spinning.His 16year old body wasn't used to the alcohol. He had to sit down.
"Get out of me spot mudblood"
Snape looked up to see Draco Malfoy and his goons glaring at him. If there was one thing Snape knew how to do it was glare and glare he did, even adding a sneer for effect.
"Sorry, I didn't know they made a special place for idiots" The drink must have gone to his head because his tongue was working on it's own, "You know Malfoy, I never liked you. I pretended to, because of your father, but you are a twit."
Snape almost ordered him a detention before he realized that he was in a smallish sixteen-year-old student's body. Crabbe and Goyle were certainly much bigger than he was.
Goyle grabbed him by the shirt.
"You leave him alone!"
Snape looked around and saw his would-be recurers were none other that Ron Weasley backed up by Harry and Hermione.
/ Oh god. This was not happening/
"Or you'll what exactly?" Draco asked menacingly. Goyle released Snape in order to try and take a swing at Ron but Ron's twin brothers chose that moment to intervene on their behalf.
Fred and George were well built, tall boys, both a year older than Draco and his friends. It was also their party. Draco knew better than to mess with the two biggest pranksters /troublemakers/ in the school.
" That was close," Ron said as they walked away. Hermione passed Snape some more punch, which he gulped down quickly, while Ron asked who he was.
Snape wasn't thinking too clearly after that last drink so he gave the first name that popped into his head; his own.
"Sev"
"Like the potions teacher?"
/ Oops/
Snape searched for an answer that wouldn't give him away.
"Unfortunately. Don't worry, I'm nothing like that slimy bastard"
That seemed to win their approval. Ron slung his arm around 'Sev's shoulder.
"An enemy of Snape is a friend of ours" He laughed.
Harry, Ron and Hermione had been drinking. Within the hour they were drunk. So was Sev.
/ Of all the people to try and make friends with me. /
