*~The Harpy~*
Chapter Three: Much Ado About Nothing
Down in the dungeons Snape also heard the scream.He raced to the Great Hall where he thought it had come from.
Standing in a corner was Sybill Trelawney who appeared was being attacked by a huge wolf.He grabbed his wand and was about to yell 'Stupefy' when Nynx ran out of no where and pointed her wand at him and bellowed,
"IMPEDIMENTA",he froze and watched as the insane harpy headed straight for her death just to save an animal!!
"NO WOLF,HEEL!!"
The wolf turned around and leaped towards her,Snape's eyes darted around the room looking to see if any other members of the staff had heard the scream.No one appeared to have heard it.
The wolf knocked Nynx off her feet and was about to rip her throat out, or so he thought,the wolf knocked her off her feet but instead of ripping her throat out the wolf started licking her!
''Wolf!!''she gasped, ''get off me you brute!''the wolf immediately jumped off her and she slowly rose to her feet as the jinx wore off Snape.Snape was about to blow his top at the amatuer but she started talking to the wolf,
''Wolf!!I told you that I would come to collect you tomorrow,why didn't you wait for me??"she sighed as the creature whimpered pathetically,"fine then,go and apologise to Sybill if you want my forgivness,go on.." the animal then walked over to a clearly shaken Sybill and bowed his head,Sybill had no clue what to do so she fainted.
Both Nynx and Snape ran to help her,it was then that Snape finally managed to voice his opinion,
"What the hell did you think you were doing bringing an untamed monster like that into a school??"he said as he conjured up a stretcher ,
"I don't know what you mean Severus, Wolf here is perfectly tamed and as you can here he is far from a monster,"she snapped
"Then what was he doing attacking Sybill who as you can see is far from her normal self!"
"He was NOT attacking her Severus, he must have misunderstood her body language and thought that she was holding me captive,because if you haven't noticed other than you she was the only member of the staff not to come early to meet me,in fact she didn't come to meet me at all!!!So don't jump to bloody conclusions you Neanderthal!!"
At that point several staff members walked in chatting away until they saw Severus and Nynx arguing over the unconscious form of Sybill Trelawney.
"What happened here!"asked a shocked looking McGonagall,
"Her wolf attacked Sybill,and as you can see that is why Sybill is in the state she is in!"
"FOR THE LAST TIME SEVERUS,"she shrieked,"HE DID NOT ATTACK HER,SHE FAINTED BECAUSE OF THE SHOCK OF WOLF CHALLENGING HER!!"
"You really must learn to control your temper Miss Cernunnas,and that monster you call a pet,he could have ripped her throat out,"
"And how the hell would you know that Severus,as I recall he retreated when I told him to!!"
"And what would have happened if you were not lucky enough to have been there Miss Cernunnas?He might have killed her and you can not assume that he wouldn't!!"
"And you can not assume that he would have killed her either!!!"
"ENOUGH!!"yelled Professor McGonagall,
"I seriously doubt that Nynx's pet would have harmed anyone without her permission,Helena,Philius could you please escort Sybill to the infirmery?"
"Of course Minerva,"agreed Helena,she and Philius used their wands to steer the stretcher towards the infirmery.
"Well I think it is best that you two go and see the Headmaster,and you might aswell take the wolf,"
"Of course Minerva,"Nynx whistled and Wolf trotted towards her,"come on Wolf, we are going to meet the Headmaster,and I suppose that Mr Neanderthal will be coming with us."
Snape didn't bother responding and walked away from the stupid girl and her monster pet,what if she became worse then Hagrid?He shuddered and continued walking towards the Headmasters office.
Behind him he heard the sound of her riding boots clopping on the floor aswell as the wolfs' patter of paws.Why oh why did Dumbledore insist on tormenting him?He was more than qualified to teach the position but no Dumbledore in-sis-ted on choosing deliquents,evil bastards working for the Dark Lord,childhood enemies and the like.And this time it had gone too far.His dreamed position was being taught by a woman who was a harpy and was like the mini-female version of Hagrid!!He would probably end up in St. Mungos by the end of the year!
Nynx was about to scream at that arrogant prick,Wolf was not a monster,the only monster in the room was Severus Snape!!She looked down at her beloved comrade and realised that there was another comrade that she needed to see,she swore under her breath and without meaning to she said,
"Buchepulas!!"and that was when she realised that she had said it out loud!!
*Oh crap,*
"I beg your pardon Miss Cernunnas?"asked Snape looking positively murderous,
"I said Buchephulas and I wasn't talking to you I was talking to Wolf,"
"And why on earth would you be talking to your wolf about Alexander the Great's horse?"
"First of all my wolfs' name is Wolf,"
"How original,"he rudely interuppted,
"and secondly I was not talking to Wolf about Alexander the Great's horse I was talking about my horse,whom is named Bucephulas.And he is waiting outside and I would appreciate it if you would hurry up so I can get to the meeting with Dumbledore without meeting the ghosts of my ancestors early!"
"Well then Miss Cernunnas we must hurry,"he turned on his heel and started at a pace which very few would have been able to keep up with,most ordinary people would have asked him to slow down while they caught their breath.But Nynx was not an ordinary person.She was a half harpy and had to run for long periods of time when on the hunt and needed to be very fit.She had no trouble keeping up with her former teacher.
They finally arrived at the stone gargoyle and Snape said with a sneer across his unattractive features,
"Sugar Quill,"and the magnificant gargoyle jumped aside and revealed a beautifully crafted staircase. He stepped onto the staircase as did Nynx and Wolf.Then the staircase started moving upwards and he heard a yelp as the wolf jumped,
"Wolf it is nothing calm down,it won't hurt you,or me."
*I hope*
After a few seconds the staircase stopped moving and Snape opened the door that was in front of his abnormally large hooked nose. (a/n i am so cruel to him aren't I?)
"Ah Severus how are you?Since you have obviously not come for a chat sit down,"
"It is not just me here Dumbledore,Miss Cernunnas and her wolf are also attending this meeting,"
"Really?!Well come in, Nynx, where are you?"
"Here Headmaster,and this is Wolf, I believe I mentioned him to you?"
"Yes you did Nynx but what,if I may ask brings you and Severus here?"
"Well Headmaster,"started Snape,
"we are here because of Wolf,"finished Nynx,
"and his rather shocking behaviour towards a member of the staff,which caused Sybill Trelawney to faint."
"Oh dear,well please sit down,"Dumbledore conjured up two comfortable armchairs and gestured for them to sit down, which they both did.
"Now please explain what happened,"
"Well as I was unpacking my things I heard a scream and ran down into the Great Hall where I thought I heard the scream come from,"
"As did I Headmaster,"added Snape,
"as I was saying ,I ran ino the hall,Severus had arrived before me and was about to stun Wolf when I used Impedimenta to freeze him and Wolf was challenging Sybill ,I told him to back off ,which he did, after I told him what he was doing was wrong he went to apologise to Sybill and she fainted,and that's what happened."
"Is that what happened in your opinion Severus?"
"Yes but I have a few queries for Miss Cernunnas,may I ask them?"
"Of course,do continue Severus,"
"Miss Cernunnas,what would have happened if you had not called Wolf off?"
"If Sybill had continued to state that she didn't know who I was he would have backed off but guarded her so that she could not run away, exactly as I would have trained him to."
"Indeed,can you prove it?"
"It is too late for that now Severus,what are your other questions Severus?"
"I have just one more question Headmaster,Miss Cernunnas what if Sybill was a student??"
"What do you mean Severus?"she hissed icily,
"If your pet had attacked one of the students what were we to have done,Headmaster I think that Miss Cernunnas's pet is highly dangerous and should not be allowed in the school,if it stays it might attack one of the students, it is a wild animal after all and if one of the students were attacked that might be the end of Hogwarts,"
"How do you know that Wolf would ever attack a student, I trained him myself,"
"Is that supposed to fill me with confidence?I am sorry but I seriously doubt the judgement of a woman who keeps wild animals for pets and freezes her colleagues to save one animal when another colleague is in danger of having their thraot ripped out by a wild animal!!"
"For your information Severus Wolf is not wild, I raised him from when he was a pup, he is only dangerous when he is hunting, in danger or I am in danger.Shall I prove it to you??"
"And how do you intend on doing that may I ask?"
"Name your test,"
"I believe you were the one that was meant to be proving that that animal is harmless,"
"So I am to assume that you have no ideas whatsoever as to what Wolf can do?"
"You were the one who wished to prove your animals innocence!"
"I see well, I will get Wolf here to go into the Forbidden Forest and bring back a white rabbit with a black ring around its eye.He is not allowed to touch any other animal except for that one animal unless something attackes him.Do you agree?"
"What will that prove, other than his hunting abilities?"
"His level of discipline,we can cast a spell that will allows us to watch his every movement if you wish,I have complete and utter trust in him but since you obviously don't,"
At this particular point in time Dumbledore chose it was an appropriate time to chuckle,
"Professors,I do believe I was here to judge this matter,was I not?"
Nynx felt her cheeks blush slightly and Severus's face showed no emotion whatsover.Damn that cold hearted bastard.Why couldn't he get it through his thick head that Wolf was harmless.Had that man ever owned anything that he loved unconditionally?She wondered absent mindedly.She looked at him quickly and then thought,no,what creature could ever love or be loved but that ugly, emotionless,cold hearted and utterly evil bastard!!Nothing!!
"Well Headmaster what do you suggest?"
"I really don't think that Wolf looks like a blood thirsty murderer,and since I have no doubt whatsoever in Nynx's training abilities I don't see what is wrong with Wolf staying with her,so is that all?"
Nynx's radiant smile answered for her while Severus's scowl answered for his.
"Then I believe you two can leave,oh Nynx, I believe that your horse is still waiting outside for you,we do not have siutable accomidations for him here yet but I believe that Hogsmeade's stables have what you require,"
"Thankyou Headmaster,I will go to Hogsmeade now,thankyou again for your advice!"
"Your very welcome my dear,please tell me if you require anything else?"
"Of course,"she smiled and left the Headmasters office with Wolf at her heels.She walked out of the room and headed out towards the doors but Severus stayed behind for a few minutes,when the harpy was gone he looked at Dumbledore's twinkling blue eyes and said,
"Looks can be decieving Headmaster,"and walked out of the room in a towereing temper and god help whatever beast that crossed his path.
Nynx walked out of the doors and saw her horse patiently waiting for her,
"I am sorry I took so long Buchephulas,I had many things that I needed to attend to,"the horse snorted and strted pawing at the ground.
"Come on, I have to take you to Hogsmeade,"the horse reared up,
"BUCEPHULAS!!I have no choice!!You will have to stay at a stable there until I can organize something for you here,understand??"Buchephulas quieted down but you could tell that he was still not happy with the arangement.
She mounted her stallion and spurred him on to a gallop while Wolf followed close behind her.In less than an hour they had arrived,Nynx asked where the stables were and asked if she could pay for him to stay part-board for a week in advance,the owner agreed hurridly,a massive wolf was following her around,he was somewhat intimidated by her.
She walked out of the stables and started walking back to Hogwarts.It would take longer without Bucephulas,she sighed,Bucephulas and her had always been within five minutes of each other,this was going to be difficult for both of them,Wolf trotted behind her happily,his family had been killed by hunters,he was the only survivor of his pack,she raised him,she sighed again and thought about her own mother and their 'relationship'.
They had never really got along,her mother was always hunting or training and never had time for Nynx unless she was training her.Her mother ordered that she was to be looked after by one of the best hunters,Themia.Themia was almost like her real mother,she had taken care of her until she was eleven and had recieved her Hogwarts letter.After that she was basically on her own.When she was in her fourth year she recieved a letter from her mother telling her that Themia had recieved her revenge,in other words she was dead.When she recieved that letter she felt as though her world had fell apart.
When she told her mother that she had recieved a letter asking her if she would teach the DADA position her mother had been far from thrilled.She accused her of treason,peddling the harpies knowledge among men,who could grow up to become Death Eaters and cause more harpies to be welcomed into the Netherworld. She had to explain to her mother that she would be training young wizards and witches against the Dark Arts.She also said that if there was any suspicious activity in the school she could inform her right away so that they could protect the latest generation of witches and wizards against the evil that claimed so many lives.After a lot of debating she finally allowed Nynx to leave and teach at Hogwarts.
And here she was standing at the gates of Hogwarts.Oh she was here already,she quickly walked through them and headed towards the doors as she walked through the doors she bumped into something large and black that knocked her off her feet.
"Watch where your going!!!!"
"Indeed Miss Cernunnas,or maybe you should look where you are going before you blame me!"
"Oh it's you!"
"Who else were you expecting?"
"Maybe Satan?"
"Very funny Miss Cernunnas,I was coming to see if you had arrived yet and apparently you have!"
"Obviously,I would simply hate to burst your bubble but could you please help me up,when I bumped into you I fell over and am now on the cold hard stone floor!!Or is it true that chivalry had really died out?"Snape bent down and pulled her to her feet,
"Thankyou,what did I miss?"
"Sybill has woken up,there is no permanent damage done,in fact in the words of Poppy it was much ado about nothing!"
"Really?And does Sybill think that Wolf is a murderous beast that has been set out to kill her?"she asked sickenly sweetly,
"I would not know,I have not yet had the pleasure of speaking to her,but I presume you will be speaking to her??"
"Of course,in fact I am plannning to go see her as soon as possible to apologise for Wolf's appaling behaviour,by the way if you haven't seen her how do you know that there would be no permanent damage?"
"Poppy informed the entire staff of her condition as soon as she could,unfortunately you were not there to hear the announcement,"
"Is she still in the infirmiry?"
"I believe so,but before you go and visit our resident 'Seer' Dumbledore would like to talk to you about your horse's accomodations,"
"Of course, excuse me,oh where does he want to see me?"
"In the staffroom I believe,"
"Thankyou again Severus,"she turned on her heel and walked away.
*Bloody prick!Tries to make me feel guilty!!How dare he!*
~Damn harpy, damn Albus for letting her keep that atrocious monster,damn Gryffindor,damn Voldemort,~ This train of thought continued for several minuted while he stalked off towards the dungeons hoping to brew more Pepper-Up Potion for Poppy(a/n say that really fast 10 times).
A/N: What did you think?hate it love it?what?the only way you'll be able to tell me is if you press the pretty button that says GO and review me?PLEASE??if not then suffer the consequences.
A/N:Thank you all you lovely reviewers,more potatoes for you,i really can't be stuffed being nice and chatting in this a/n because i am completely buggered (tired for all you non aussies).And I have to do errands and other crap like that,and a bloody dress fitting for my sisters wedding.I am sick of the dress fittings!!!!!Dont forget to R&R if you do I will give you NERDS and some other freebies,like i dunno a holly valance single.I already have the album. *nynx's thoughts* ~and snapes thoughts~
