(This is the fourth chapter, not counting the Prologue. The fifth for now isn't done, so enjoy. Please read and REVIEW!!! And I think this is the longest chapter so far ^.^)

Chapter Four. Snivellus vs. Cleo

"Rise and shine." Astra said pushing Cleo hard, who rolled over and fell on the floor. She looked under the bed. "These are the same beds." Cleo thought in her head. She looked under her bed. "Already dust bunnies.." she thought and looked around it. Under the bed already looked like she had used it for a month.

Cleo stood up and went into the bathroom to get showered and ready to go. She came out and got dressed in a pair of light blue jeans and a white T-shirt, and walked down to the common room to wait for the others. Sirius and James came down next, their hair was still damp from taking a shower. Then Remus came down, fixing his shirt collar, and finally Astra came down wearing a pink skirt and pink T-shirt. The group stretched and yawned a bit, then finally went down to breakfast.

The group headed down from the common room for breakfast and got to the Great Hall. Cleo

sat down and began to butter some toast and look around. "Looks like Snape is still holding the grudge from yesterday and we didn't do anything." She said looking at the Slytherin table, him and a few others were giving them snooty looks.

"He'll get over it eventually, but your now on his bad side for hanging around with us. When

you have to go back in your time, pray he doesn't kill you." Sirius said with a grin. The others couldn't help but agree and ate breakfast. Severus Snape and Lucius Malfoy were walking out of the Great Hall, talking with scowls.

A few minutes later Cleo spoke up, "I'm going to get something from the dormitory, hold on." She wanted to go get a never ending ink quill. She walked out of the Great Hall and heard Snape and Malfoy talking about muggles. She paused by the corner and listened to their conversation. She knew eavesdropping was rude, but oh well.

"Honestly, do we even know where those three filthy kids came from? Dumbledore is a fool, letting just anyone into Hogwarts. Really. And I bet they love muggles like the rest of Potter's friends. Potter always has to have his own little fan club following him around doesn't he?" Snape muttered to Lucius who sniggered in agreement.

Lucius said something Cleo couldn't hear and walked away. This was Cleo's turn to talk to Snape. She walked up to him, arms folded. "What's so wrong with muggles?", She asked him, looking straight in his eye.

"Their untrustworthy, rude, filthy-" Snape began but Cleo slapped him hard across the face and glared angrily at him.

"How DARE you." Cleo hissed at him, hand still raised. "You don't know muggles well enough you idiot. How DARE you...", she repeated once again. Her eyes were cold and full of hate, she was ready to strike.

"Why don't you just go back to where you came from you muggle-loving little brat." Snape

hissed at her. They bickered a few more minutes but then Cleo jumped on him and slapped him one, but then he punched her in the shoulder and that's when the fight began.

Cleo bit him hard on the hand and he recoiled then kicked her in the side of her leg, and they wrestled again. Snape was noisy, cursing, yelling, muttering, but Cleo was silent. The two were fighting when Sirius and James came down the hall, chatting away and froze seeing Snape onto of Cleo, thought Cleo was surely winning.

The two nodded and pulled Snape off her and James tried to keep him away from her, but he was doing that well enough. He cupped the side of his face, and his eye proved to be getting black and blue. Cleo was the one that needed to be held off, for she looked ready to attack again. She had a bit of a bloody lip though, like someone tried to aim there, but slightly missed. She had a few bruises and cuts, but nothing major.

"What do you think your doing?" James and Sirius asked, glaring at the both of them. "Cleo your not supposed to fight with people on one of your first days here." Sirius said as if she was a two year old. Then he turned to Snape with a glint in his eye and he growled at him. "Just what do you think your doing, hitting a lady?"

"She started it." Snape said, pointing to the girl across from him.

"Do you have any idea how much of a mature remark that is? Four year olds say `she started it', really come on..." Cleo muttered under her breath, Sirius admitted a bark-laugh. "First off, I started with the fighting, you were the one that started all this by having a disgusting mouth." Cleo shot at him, looking him dead in the eye.

"Well it's none of your business what I talk about." Snape shot back and turned a heel, beginning to walk away then stopped and slowly turned around, glaring at her icily. "You better watch yourself, muggle lover. Learn your place around here." He spat at her and turned around, walking on.

Cleo glared at the back of his head, and Sirius and James let go of her arms, staring at her. "What was that all about? We have never really fought with Snape, just hex him. What are you doing, fighting with him? You could have gotten hurt!" Sirius asked in a fatherly like tone. James was right by him, agreeing, and looking at her curiously.

"But I didn't. He was insulting muggles and you guys, and finally said `Mudbloods and muggle lovers are worthless little scum who...' but I cut him off by punching him, and that's when the fight began. I'm strong enough to take him on." Cleo added confidently, chin held high, watching the hall Snape had walked down.

"But still, watch out, he could be dangerous." Sirius warned her and looked her up and down. "Maybe you should go to the Hospital wing and-"

"Sirius, I'm fine, trust me." she said as a drop of blood fell from her lip. She did a small spell to clean it up, and did the same on her cuts, then magicked an ice pack for an eye bruise she was getting. After a few moments of awkward Cleo spoke up. "Do any of you know what time it is?"

"It's five minutes till ten. Breakfast will be ending soon and the others are gonna wonder where we are. Come on, let's get back to the Great Hall, I don't think Snape's heading back there any time soon." James said, looking up from a watch.

Sirius and Cleo agreed, and the three began to head back to the Great Hall, some people already heading out and milling around the school. The three entered the Great Hall and looked for Remus Draco, and Astra, Peter was feeling ill....(HE SHALL SUFFER!!!)

"Cleo, what happened to you?" Astra looked her up and down, with a confused face. Finally her face relaxed a bit like she understood. "So who did you get into a fight with this time? Snape?"

"Ding ding, we have a winner." Cleo nodded, happy as ever. She looked over at Draco who just rolled his eyes, Remus, Sirius, and James, who all had funny looks on their faces. "What?" Cleo blinked at them.

"Oh.. nothing." Remus shook his head and the others played along.

"Me and James have to go to the library to work on Potions." Sirius said and James got up, the two began to head out.

"That's James and I, Sirius." Remus corrected him and Sirius lifted a hand to prove he had heard. Remus turned back to face them. "I'm going to the common room to read, any of you want to come?" he asked, looking at the three remaining people.

Astra piped up and said she would, the two of them headed out the Great Hall to the common room. Cleo grinned at Draco and threw her arm over his shoulder and slouched on him. "Well then I guess it's just you and me." She said and began to walk, trying to drag him out of the Great Hall. Whether or not they were friends, Cleo acted like they were just to harass him.

"Not in you life." He said coldly, lifting her arm off roughly and walked away from him, heading down to the dungeons with a scowl planted firmly on his face.

Cleo stood there for a minute and shrugged, watching him walk off. "Now what..." she wondered in her head and looked around. People were leaving the Great Hall and fast, she watched as some Slytherins left, throwing her an icy glare. Cleo didn't seem to notice their cold stare, and just waved merrily, making them glare icier. And I don't even think icier is a word... Could be..

She finally decided some fresh air would be good, and walked out from the doors of the Great Hall. She went through the Entrance and walked down the Hogwarts steps, and looking around across the grounds. It was pretty empty for now, some people around the lake, some heading to the Quidditch pitch, or walking around. She walked over to the lake and sat down, watching the Squid lazily flow by. Cleo lied down on her back, and watched the clouds, sighing.

She was going to miss contacting her friends, her parents, and her cat. Cleo's parents went to Hogwarts, but she figured their last year was the previous year. Her parents were old indeed... She was also going to miss her muggle friends a lot, going a year without even getting a letter from them was like torture. She sighed when she looked at one of the clouds that formed the shape of a cat's face. Cleo loved animals a lot, she would really miss her cat. Finally she started to nod off into a tired sleep, she hadn't got a lot of sleep that night, waking up and thinking.



"Cleo? Um... Cleo?" a familiar voice hovered close to her. Maybe this had all been a dream, she never met the Marauders, never went back in time. But she was wrong...oh so very wrong. Cleo squinted and rubbed her eyes, a face became clearer, hovering right over her. She yelped, Sirius was face to face with her. "Why are you.... in pajamas...?" He asked, looking at her.... pajamas???

Cleo looked down and screeched. "WHAT?" she gasped. She was wearing furry pink sleepers, with FEET. Cleo stared at herself and started to blush a deep deep red. She finally figured what had happened. "Snape." she whispered.

"What?" James asked, trying not to crack his voice from laughing. Sirius was laughing very hard now, and James was beginning to chuckle a bit, then snorted, both of them went into fits of laughter, falling on the grass.

"It's not funny!" she said, and when they wouldn't stop laughing, she pulled her wand from a pocket and silenced them from laughing momentarily. "Snape did this when I was sleeping, I know he did. This. Means. War." she hissed, staring coldly across the ground.

The two boys realized they couldn't speak or make any noise, and motioned her to lift the charm she had put on them. "All right, I'll-I'll go get the invisibility cloak, Sirius you stay here and try not to let people see her.. new outfit." James said grinning very broadly and walked off. They began to walk over to a large tree when Sirius started laughing again.

"What the hell is so funny?" Cleo snapped, turning around angrily.

Sirius couldn't say anything and clutched his stomach, pointing to her head. She lifted her hands and felt to long, furry ears. "Your...your growing a cotton tail.." he snorted, pointing to her behind, and turned away laughing so hard.

Cleo turned her hips and looked down. It was true, these pajamas were BUNNY pajamas. Cleo groaned and ran over to the tree, curling into a little ball, and Sirius walked over, still laughing. "Keep laughing and I'll turn you into a REAL rabbit." She snapped angrily, and that shut him up.

"I'm sorry, I just remembered this muggle song.. It went-it went something like this." Sirius grinned licking his head. "Little bunny foo-foo hopping through the forest..." he began to sing, totally off key but Cleo slapped his leg. "That's NOT funny." she said angrily. He stopped laughing and sat down next to her and slid an arm around her shoulder, pulling her toward him and humming slightly, very quietly. For a minute she thought it was comfort, then realized he was playing with her rabbit ears and humming `Little Bunny Foo-Foo.'

Cleo pushed him away and glared at him, they sat in silence. Finally James came to the rescue with the invisibility cloak, and Cleo grabbed it, covering herself within it. The three headed back to the castle, and went inside, it was time for lunch. Ahead of her she saw Snape, walking alone, back turned to her. "Let's see how you like pink." she whispered and his pants and shirt disappeared, leaving him in a pink tank top and pink boxers. Sirius and James looked at the invisible Cleo and did all they could to keep a straight face. The group turned a corner, and they could hear the roar of laughter from the Great Hall, apparently everyone saw Snape's new...outfit.

After Cleo got changed into normal clothes, she walked down to the common room and threw James the cloak. He and Sirius were still grinning a bit, trying to conceal their laughter. "Why don't we head down to lunch, it'll be over in fifteen minutes." Sirius suggested. "I'm hungry." he added and ignored the other two's rolling eyes.

The two others agreed, and crawled out of the common room, and began to walk the halls, walking down stairs. They turned a corner and saw a very red faced Snape in his normal clothes and he turned around and saw them. "You!" he glared at Cleo.

"Me." She said coolly, and Sirius and James came on either side of her, as if to guard her of attack. "I see that pink wasn't really your thing, was it?" Cleo asked, smirking coldly at him, ignoring the two wary boys next to her.

"I suppose rabbit pajamas really aren't your thing either." He shot at her. "You'll pay Cleo... oh you'll pay..." he spat at her and walked off from their second row that day.

The next morning at breakfast, Lucius and Severus seemed to have been watching Cleo's every movement, and occasionally smiled evilly a bit. "Snape and Lucy are getting weirder by the minute." Cleo muttered to the group, drinking some pumpkin juice. She felt kind of tired, she figured she didn't get enough sleep or something. Cleo sneezed, and suddenly purple bubbles shot from her nose. One popped and screeched "I SLEEP IN PINK SLEEPERS WITH RABBIT EARS!" Everyone started roaring with laughter, except the Marauders, Astra, and even Draco seemed sedated. "I do not!" she shouted, another one popped. "YES YOU DO!" The voice echoed. Cleo marched over to the Slytherin table and opened her mouth to speak, but a large bubble was forming that popped in her mouth, making her croak loudly like a frog.

"Snape... I'm going to..." She finished the sentence, but it was drowned out by another bubble popping that shrieked, "I HAVEN'T BATHED IN A WEEK!" Cleo snapped at Snape. "WELL NEITHER HAVE YOU" Cleo said angrily. However, he didn't answer, only laugh and sneer. Cleo hiccuped, and another bubble came out. "HIT ME BABY ONE MORE TIME!" in a good imitation of Brittany Spears. Cleo put a hand over her mouth, and sneezed again, bubbles flying from her ears. "IM A PATHETIC MUDBLOOD LOVING, DIRTY PATHETIC LITTLE-" but it didn't finish, Cleo grabbed Snape by the collar. "You will pay for this." she hissed and pushed him back running out of the Great Hall, another bubble popped, "I'M A SQUIB WANNA-BE!" The group, and a reluctant Draco ran out of the Great Hall to look for her.

Oh was he going to get it. Cleo did have to hand it to him, he had a great way with the pranks, she would have to remember that one, but still, he was going to get it. She needed something truly good, truly great. She ran out to the lake and sat down, fingers skimming the water if she leaned far enough. There HAD to be something she could think of, and maybe the Marauders could help. It would have to be something good..

"Cleo?" A voice softly called from somewhere around her. Cleo didn't say anything but sat there and looked behind her, seeing nothing. "Cleo?" The voice repeated, a bit louder, as if coming closer to her. There was silence, then the sound of footsteps... a bunch of footsteps. "Cleo... oh there you are." Sirius came from behind a tree, followed by the rest of the group. Astra and Sirius sat down on either side of her, and Remus sat in front of her, next to James, and Draco plopped down around them.

Cleo looked at them. "What is this? What did they do to me?" Cleo asked them, knowing Snape had given her a potion.

"I can't remember the name, but it is a potion.. Severus probably got it from a joke store or something, like Zonkos. Don't worry, it'll wear off in an hour from which you took it. I think it's been an hour in a few minutes, so best keep quiet till then." Remus said this knowingly. The others, even Draco a bit, looked sorry for her.

"I am GOING to get him back." Cleo said firmly, punching her fist on the ground. A bubble admitted, making her croak, but it wasn't to loud.

"But how?" James asked.

"I don't know, but I WILL find something. Snape will pay." Cleo coldly said, meaning every word of it.

"It needs to be something embarrassing and funny." Astra piped up.

"Something he'll never think of." Draco said.

"He won't know what hit him." Sirius added also.

Cleo thought for a minute in the silence, thinking hard. "What would make him embarrassed?" Cleo thought to herself, putting a finger on her chin. Cleo looked up to think, biting her lip, then something struck her. "I've got it!"
