Gryffindor Common Room
Looking at each of them, them smirking "I think its time to show the boys that they really shouldn't mess with the smartest bunch of witches this school has ever seen," pulling out a piece of parchment, handing it over to Caro who was sitting between Lily and Chloe "this is the plan."
Laughing at the seer nerve of it "when do you propose to do this."
"Tonight," looking at them "you game?"
Answering smirks was their only reply.
"Ok," looking it over "We have most of this stuff, and Lily and Caro already know the hand signals."
"Really," laughs Melody "that saves us lots of time. But Chloe why did you teach them that?"
Laughter floats towards her "James and Remus were being prats," comments Lily "so we decided to teach them some manors. And the rest they say is history."
Looking at them "Chloe I want to hear this story. Later," looking around the room "right now we have things to get. So I suggest we meet back here is let's say an half hour?"
Gryffindor Chloe and Melody's room
Closing the door and putting the silencing charm on the room "ok I have been dieing to know all day, why didn't you have your wand on you?"
"I did," thinking about the day in the forest "I think Peter took it from me."
Gasping, "why would he do that?"
Groaning, "I think it had to do with the extra Transfiguration homework that Remus was joking about," going over to her books on her bed she pulls out the map. "Chloe remember that map that Harry had?"
Laughing "Yeah it was so cool."
"Well, I have it."
Shocked "What," she runs over to Melody's bed "that things lists everyone by their names."
Grimacing "Yeah I know," pulling out her wand and touching the map, "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good."
At once, think ink lines began to spread like a spider's web from the point that Melody's wand had touched. Fanning into every corner of the parchment; then words began to blossom across the top, great curly green words that proclaimed: Messer. Mooney, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs Purveys of Kids to magical Mischief Makers are proud to present 'The Marauder's Map.'
Looking at the tiny ink dots moving around it, each labeled with a name, Melody quickly looks for her room. Finding it she noticed that it had her labeled as Melody St. James and Chloe as Megan Banes.
"Ok," both glanced at each other "lets try something, Herm," starts Chloe until she sees that dot flash and the name fade then change into Hermione Granger then blink again back to Melody.
"I think," pausing "since the boys who designed this, use the registers office to get the names, it will use the names that Dumbledore has down. But since we do go to school here in the future it changed to our real names when someone calls us that."
"Maybe," laughs Chloe "you would know more about it then me," looking over the map "are we using this to help us with tonight?"
"Yep," thinking "I want you with me."
"Why?"
"Because I'm also going to get that creep Peter."
Laughter floats into the common room when Chloe opens the door. Bouncing down the stairs Chloe and Melody find Lily holding a cloak. Smirking she puts it on then disappears under it 'the invisibility cloak' laughing and clapping.
They pair off, Caro and Lily to Chloe and Melody. Planning the prank in great detail, they got the supplies together, snickering each woman wondered who was going to be more upset the Slytherins or James and Sirius.
Opening the portrait, they walk confidently into the hallways. Using hand signals the girls pass the trophy room, in which Peter supervised by Flinch, was scrubbing the room clean without magic.
That's where the girls separated; Lily and Caro were going to get Crabbe and Goyle who had detention with Professor Rooney in the DADA classroom, while Chloe and Melody were going to get Lucius Malfoy. They had made plans to meet outside the Slytherin perfects bathroom.
Smirking they made their way to the Slytherin common room, upon reaching the door they waited for their perfect to start making the rounds. As the wall opened up, the Slytherin in question walked out, passing them in the hallway.
Walking behind him, at a safe distance Melody and Chloe checked the map as they notice that Lucius was heading towards the dungeons.
The Dungeons
Shouting, "Potter, Black those cauldrons better be clean," Professor Sinclair walked to the door. Opening it up he gestured for Lucius to enter "Ah, Mr. Malfoy do come in," purrs Professor Sinclair "We can talk in my office."
Moving in the hallway so they are not spotted by any of the men, Chloe and Melody stand outside the professor's office, listening to him talk to Lucius.
"Did you get me those papers I asked for?" questions Professor Sinclair. Rustling of what sounds like papers.
"Here," states Lucius "I still don't understand why you want them."
"You don't need to," snaps Professor Sinclair, looking at the map, Chloe signals Melody to move away from the door "now get out of here." Professor Sinclair watches Lucius walk away, then closes his door.
Going back to the door "Ownership rights," laughter floats "all I need now if for that idiot Snape to finish that potion. Than I'll be a rich man." Hearing a clicking noise "password: Fame."
A door opens "Mel he's back in the dungeons with the boys."
"Spot me," whispers Melody "I'm going in."
Opening the door, Melody surveys the room; spotting the makeshift safe she quickly whispers the password. Pulling out the papers, she stuffs them in her shirt. Looking over to Chloe who was signaling for her to move, she rushes out of the room. Closing the door.
Walking up to the classroom door Chloe and Melody watch the map, as Professor Sinclair and the boys work around the dungeon.
"I must have dreamed a thousand dreams," a boys voice breaks totally off key "moving into the street."
"Black," shouts Professor Sinclair "take voice lesions."
Trying not to laugh, both Melody and Chloe hastily leave the area. Rushing they pull out the map, finding Lucius still on the second floor with his two friends, Caro and Lily were just outside in the hallway. Making their way slowly to the other girls, they pass Remus and Frank joking around while doing their detention.
Moving past the trophy room again, Melody pulls out her wand, muttering a quick spell they start up the stairs when Flinch's voice booms "Pettigrew you idiot!!" Smirking at each other they whisper, "that should teacher him."
Reaching the second floor Chloe hands Melody the map, touching her wand to it she whispers "Mischief mangled." Feeling Chloe touch her forearm then point to a spot on the wall, a visible hand waves at them. Smiling they knew that they have meet up with the other girls.
"Lucius is in the same room as Crabbe and Goyle," whispers Lily "we haven't been able to pull off our prank yet."
Thinking about it "don't worry, I think I have something better." Looking in the classroom, Melody notices that they were standing close to one another, waving her wand she whispers off the same charm she used on Pettigrew.
Moving away from the door everyone waits "You idiots," shouts Lucius "now I have to take a bath or shower."
Snickering quietly "but Lucius," wines Goyle "we didn't do anything."
"Oh really," snaps Lucius "I guess the invisible ghost did this," hearing footsteps coming closer to them, the girls move away from the door "come on this stuff is starting to stink. I'll not have you stinking up the common room."
"But Lucius," wines Goyle "where are we going to go?"
"To the prefect's shower room," he snaps as they walk out of the room towards the shower room. When they turn the corner, the snickers grow to soft chuckles.
"Next phase," whispers Chloe "and we really need to move this one," glancing at the clock "because the boys will be done with detention soon."
The Prefect's Shower Room
Opening up the door, Melody nods to Chloe as Lily hands over the cloak. Moving into the room, she spots them in different stalls. Hearing rushing water walking over to the extremely large tub, a small smile covers her face. 'They are going to take a bath that makes this so much easier. ' Pouring in the solution. Backing out of the room, Melody just makes it to the door when she spots a yellow flash of color.
Standing at the door, Melody takes pains to point out the yellow thing in the tub before letting the girls pull her away. Rushing they race to beat the boys back to the dormitory. They had just finished putting away the cloak when James and Sirius walked into the common room.
Waving to the boys the girls just went to bed.
The Dinning Hall
Reaching the doors of the dinning hall, the girls heard Professor Sinclair's voice screeched, "it was them!" Seeing an irate Professor Sinclair pointing to a perplexed James, Remus and Sirius. Frank seemed upset, as Peter looked interested in a morbid fashion. The ladies had to stifle the urge to laugh.
"What's going on," demanded Professor McGonall as she approached Professor Sinclair. He started to gesture wildly at her, then at the boys sitting down at their table. Walking up to them Lily asks "James how was your detention last night?"
Looking at Professor Sinclair now very red face "what did you guys do?" demands Caro as she sits down next to Frank.
"That's what I want to know," asks Melody as she glares at Sirius. Watching him rise up his hands and shrug his shoulders.
"Yes," snaps Professor McGonall "they all had detention last night, Professor Sinclair. So kindly tell me how they could have possibility be in two places at once?"
Stuttering Professor Sinclair spits out "I don't know but this has their names written on it."
"What does," demands Professor McGonall "so far all I've heard was allegations with no proof of any wrong doing."
"That," snaps Professor Sinclair as he points out Lucius, Crabbe and Goyle. The boys in question were sitting down at the Slytherin table. Each boy was decked out in Gryffindor colors. Crabbe and Goyle black hair was golden blonde and their skin had a red tinge to it. Lucius stood out more then Crabbe and Goyle, his hair was blood red (Weasley red) and his skin had an off yellow look. All three boys had a serve case of acme, when a zit would pop a loud burp noise along with green or silver would ooze out.
Stunned Professor McGonall looked at them, before croaking out "you have no proof that Potter, Black or Lupin were involved in that," gesturing to the Slytherins "or you would have gone to Dumbledore."
"Wow," gushes Melody rather loudly "how did you guys pull that off," pausing "I thought you had detention with Professor Sinclair."
Professor McGonall states, "There you have it Professor Sinclair. They couldn't have had pulled that," before going back to the Head Table.
Professor Sinclair hisses "just you wait until potions today, boys," as he struts over to his charges.
The Gryffindor table was unusually quite, the girls glanced at each other then at the boys. James had this look of intensive look about him. Remus looked around for conformation of a guilty expression. While Sirius started to quietly list off the names of fellow pranksters who would have had the guts to pull that off. Both he and James eliminate everyone that Sirius lists.
Looking at the clock "ladies we have potions in less then thirty minutes," laughs Caro "so I suggest we start getting ready." Gathering their things they left the boys staring at the Slytherin table.
Hallway
Looking back at the boys who were just starting to get up from the table, "well ladies," asks Chloe "should we make Mel an official member of the Unicorns?"
Laughing "god yes. Last night was fun," answers Caro.
"Now remember not to tell anyone," whispers Melody "or else we will be explaining this to them," gesturing to the boys who were fastly catching up to them. Nodding they laugh in delight at stumping them.
Potions Class
Stirring the ladle, Melody watches as both James and Sirius behave for once in class. 'Damn that's scary!' Giving Sirius a confused look, he just winks at her.
Whispering "Remus what are they up to?"
"Miss St. James," snaps Professor Sinclair "incase you have forgotten this is a classroom, not a gossip session. Ten points from Gryffindor." Feeling the color leave her face, she doesn't say anything, putting her head down she goes back to stirring.
"Miss St. James what do you get when you add eye of Newt and Clove of bane?" demands the professor.
"A simple base solution commonly used to start most potions," answers Melody. Looking around the room, Melody quickly comes to realize that Professor Sinclair has targeted her for the day.
"What do you get when you add spleen of wolf to that solution," purrs the professor.
"A headache cure," answers Melody, snickers spring up in the room "also can be used as a base for more complex potions."
"Another ten points from Gryffindor," sneers Professor Sinclair walking up to Melody "for inciting bad behavior." Glaring at her, he then sneers, "stay after class Miss St. James."
James growls lowly as Sirius just plain glares at the professors back. Remus tries to give her an encouraging smile 'come on Snape was worst.' As the class started to pack up their supplies, Melody waited as the class started to leave. Sirius whispered for her to join him as soon as she could in the library.
Waiting for the professor to come back into the room so he could dish out what ever he was going to. Melody spots Severus still working.
"Ah Severus," states Melody "the class has left for the day," going up to him, she notices that his cauldron was a deep red color, sniffing the air a vague memory reaches her. 'Smells like Creation.'
"Snape," demands Professor Sinclair as he walks into the room "that potion don't yet?"
"No professor," replies Severus as he continues to stir it. When the professor stalks off, leaving them behind "I'm working on a project for the professor."
"Really," asks Melody as she gets closer to him "do you even know what your making?"
Looking up from his cauldron, he first glares at her, then sighs "no not really. Every year Professor Sinclair has me working on this," gesturing to the cauldron "but this year I think I have it perfected."
Thinking "Severus," staring him straight in the eyes "I don't want you to tell him that you have perfected it," seeing his shocked expression "look I don't want you to get into trouble," holding up her hands "but if that's what I think it is," pointing to the cauldron "I think it would be to your benefit if you don't tell him until I have had time to research it."
Watching his eyebrows rise up "really," he purrs, "why would a Gryffindor," flinching "do that for me, a slimly grease ball?"
Smiling "cause I'm nice," holding out her hand "deal. Come on, it would take me less then a day and a half to look it up," seeing him waver "please?" Pouting at him.
Grimacing, he shakes her hand "deal."
The Library
Racing into the library, Melody goes directly to the comfy chairs. Sitting at the table was Chloe and Lily, "ladies," pausing to catch her breath "I have a question for you."
Laughing "what?" They look at her as she sits down.
"Have you ever heard of a perfume called 'Creation' its by," blacking out "damn I forgot."
Lily looks at her "nope I can't say that I have, Chloe you?"
Thinking about it "nope. Why is it any good?"
Remembering the perfume "very good," Melody states, "how do I go about researching to find out where I can get some?"
"Well," answers Lily "you just need to check with Caro." Seeing Melody's confused expression "her father is on the Ownership Rights board. He could tell you, everything you wanted to know about it."
"Thanks," looking around for Sirius "where are the boys?"
Groaning Chloe puts her head down on the desk "they are having an emergency meeting."
"About what?"
"The prank."
Shaking her head "well I really need to see Caro. Do you know where she is at this moment?"
"Gryffindor common room," answers Chloe as she pulls a book closer to her. Waving good-bye to them, Melody heads to the tower.
Gryffindor Common Room
Walking into the room, Melody instantly notices that Caro is sitting on Frank's lap, waving to get her attention. Caro smiles as she gets up, Sirius jumps up from one of the chairs by the fireplace.
"Damn," he groans "Mel, I was going to meet you, honest."
Looking at him "don't worry about Sirius," she dismisses "Caro I really need to talk to you," looking over the room full of guys "alone. Lets go to my room."
Walking up to her room, Melody hears Sirius ask James if he thought she was mad that he forgot 'damn that ex of yours really did do a number on you.'
Closing her door, she hears Caro start "please don't be mad at Sirius, he was on his way to meet you."
Giving a dismiss gesture "look that's not why I call you up here. I wanted to ask you if you heard of a perfume called Creation," watching her shake her head, "Lily told me that your father might know."
"That's right," laughs Caro "Do you have any Floo powered in here," pointing to the small pouch hanging on the wall. Caro takes a small portion as throws it in the fireplace, seconds later a head pops up "Daddy, I have a question for you?"
"Yes baby," answers the man.
"Have you ever heard of a perfume called Creation," asks Caro.
The man ponders for a while "no," thinking some more "but there is a new perfume called 'wonders' it's do out sometime soon."
"Thanks Daddy," laughs Caro "love you." The man disappears from view, as Caro smiles at her "there you have it. No perfume called Creation has been assigned."
"Thanks Caro," laughs Melody, smirking she finally remembers, the memory of the perfume, "that was most helpful."
Going over to her desk and pulling out the confiscated papers "would you be a dear and tell Sirius I'm not mad or anything of the kind," pointing to the papers in her hand "Professor Sinclair has assigned me an essay, that he wants finished by tonight."
Hearing Caro groan, Melody felt bad about lying to her "tough break, I'll be sure to tell him." Smiling she leaves the room. Sitting down at the desk, Melody starts to fill in the forms. 'Wonders' snickering under her breathe, reading the line about the product manufacturing company Melody smiles evilly as she writes 'The Potions Master.'
Feeling a hand on her shoulder, Melody jumps up in shock "Remus," hand on her heart "Don't do that," sighing in relief "what's up?"
"Sorry Mel," laughs Remus "just thought you might like a break, seeing how dinner is in like thirty minutes."
Looking at the clock "Damn, your right." Frowning then groan, Melody looks back at the bottle in front of her. Gesturing to it "I can't get this thing, to work right."
Picking it up, Remus exams it, pulling out his wand he mutters a charm. Watching in the parts work themselves into the correct form. Radiation a smile at him, Melody thanks him as she puts the bottle into a small box.
"Stealing my girl, hmm Remus," questions Sirius as he walks into her room.
Laughing at them "God no, Chloe would kill him first," going up to Sirius and kissing him soundly on the mouth "just saving me from working on this stupid project of Professor Sinclair's all night."
Tugging on Sirius's arm "I'll meet you for dinner I just have to drop this off to the professor. OK?"
"Yeah," groans Sirius "but if you don't show up, I'm coming to look for you."
"Fine by me," floats back to him.
"See Sirius," points out Remus "nothing to worry about."
Dungeons
Opening up the door, Melody see Severus still working. Knocking lightly on the door she gets his attention "finished my research."
"Well," drawls Severus "What did you find out?"
"That Professor Sinclair," answers Melody "is using you to make himself a rich man."
Shocked, Severus stopped stirring the potion "your just saying that because he picked on you in class."
Holding out the papers, she snatched last night "take a good look," waving them in front of him "he's using you."
Severus snaps that papers out of her hands, reads them over. He facial expression almost becomes murderess "I have been working on this," gesturing to the cauldron "for years just so that he can take all the credit."
"no," laughs Melody "your going to get the credit and a few other things. I just need you to sign your name to the bottom of this page," pointing to the spot.
"But to even mark this stuff I have to have a bottle," hiss Severus.
Pulling out the bottle and waving it in front of him "Severus get one thing straight you might have created this," gesturing at the cauldron "but since I have prevented someone else from taking the credit and have created a bottle for it to be marketed. I am demanding partial rights" holding up a hand "before you get all upset I suggest you read that," pointing to the papers in his hand "over."
Watching him move around the room, he pulling out a quill, signs his name "I don't need to." Gasping Melody, just stares at him "if you're finished staring at me. It seems I need to send this little bottle and some notes," holding out his hand, Melody shakes it "nice working with you."
The Dinning Room
Walking towards the Gryffindor table, Melody smiles happily 'I wonder how Severus is going to react when he finds out that he gave Remus 25 percent of the profits.' Sirius stood up, as she got closer to him. Smiling at him, Sirius returns her smile.

Potions Class
Stirring the ladle, Melody watches as both James and Sirius behave for once in class. 'Damn that's scary!' Giving Sirius a confused look, he just winks at her.
Whispering "Remus what are they up to?"
"Miss St. James," snaps Professor Sinclair "incase you have forgotten this is a classroom, not a gossip session. Ten points from Gryffindor." Feeling the color leave her face, she doesn't say anything, putting her head down she goes back to stirring.
"Miss St. James what do you get when you add eye of Newt and Clove of bane?" demands the professor.
"A simple base solution commonly used to start most potions," answers Melody. Looking around the room, Melody quickly comes to realize that Professor Sinclair has targeted her for the day.
"What do you get when you add spleen of wolf to that solution," purrs the professor.
"A headache cure," answers Melody, snickers spring up in the room "also can be used as a base for more complex potions."
"Another ten points from Gryffindor," sneers Professor Sinclair walking up to Melody "for inciting bad behavior." Glaring at her, he then sneers, "stay after class Miss St. James."
James growls lowly as Sirius just plain glares at the professors back. Remus tries to give her an encouraging smile 'come on Snape was worst.' As the class started to pack up their supplies, Melody waited as the class started to leave. Sirius whispered for her to join him as soon as she could in the library.
Waiting for the professor to come back into the room so he could dish out what ever he was going to. Melody spots Severus still working.
"Ah Severus," states Melody "the class has left for the day," going up to him, she notices that his cauldron was a deep red color, sniffing the air a vague memory reaches her. 'Smells like Creation.'
"Snape," demands Professor Sinclair as he walks into the room "that potion don't yet?"
"No professor," replies Severus as he continues to stir it. When the professor stalks off, leaving them behind "I'm working on a project for the professor."
"Really," asks Melody as she gets closer to him "do you even know what your making?"
Looking up from his cauldron, he first glares at her, then sighs "no not really. Every year Professor Sinclair has me working on this," gesturing to the cauldron "but this year I think I have it perfected."
Thinking "Severus," staring him straight in the eyes "I don't want you to tell him that you have perfected it," seeing his shocked expression "look I don't want you to get into trouble," holding up her hands "but if that's what I think it is," pointing to the cauldron "I think it would be to your benefit if you don't tell him until I have had time to research it."
Watching his eyebrows rise up "really," he purrs, "why would a Gryffindor," flinching "do that for me, a slimly grease ball?"
Smiling "cause I'm nice," holding out her hand "deal. Come on, it would take me less then a day and a half to look it up," seeing him waver "please?" Pouting at him.
Grimacing, he shakes her hand "deal."
The Library
Racing into the library, Melody goes directly to the comfy chairs. Sitting at the table was Chloe and Lily, "ladies," pausing to catch her breath "I have a question for you."
Laughing "what?" They look at her as she sits down.
"Have you ever heard of a perfume called 'Creation' its by," blacking out "damn I forgot."
Lily looks at her "nope I can't say that I have, Chloe you?"
Thinking about it "nope. Why is it any good?"
Remembering the perfume "very good," Melody states, "how do I go about researching to find out where I can get some?"
"Well," answers Lily "you just need to check with Caro." Seeing Melody's confused expression "her father is on the Ownership Rights board. He could tell you, everything you wanted to know about it."
"Thanks," looking around for Sirius "where are the boys?"
Groaning Chloe puts her head down on the desk "they are having an emergency meeting."
"About what?"
"The prank."
Shaking her head "well I really need to see Caro. Do you know where she is at this moment?"
"Gryffindor common room," answers Chloe as she pulls a book closer to her. Waving good-bye to them, Melody heads to the tower.
Gryffindor Common Room
Walking into the room, Melody instantly notices that Caro is sitting on Frank's lap, waving to get her attention. Caro smiles as she gets up, Sirius jumps up from one of the chairs by the fireplace.
"Damn," he groans "Mel, I was going to meet you, honest."
Looking at him "don't worry about Sirius," she dismisses "Caro I really need to talk to you," looking over the room full of guys "alone. Lets go to my room."
Walking up to her room, Melody hears Sirius ask James if he thought she was mad that he forgot 'damn that ex of yours really did do a number on you.'
Closing her door, she hears Caro start "please don't be mad at Sirius, he was on his way to meet you."
Giving a dismiss gesture "look that's not why I call you up here. I wanted to ask you if you heard of a perfume called Creation," watching her shake her head, "Lily told me that your father might know."
"That's right," laughs Caro "Do you have any Floo powered in here," pointing to the small pouch hanging on the wall. Caro takes a small portion as throws it in the fireplace, seconds later a head pops up "Daddy, I have a question for you?"
"Yes baby," answers the man.
"Have you ever heard of a perfume called Creation," asks Caro.
The man ponders for a while "no," thinking some more "but there is a new perfume called 'wonders' it's do out sometime soon."
"Thanks Daddy," laughs Caro "love you." The man disappears from view, as Caro smiles at her "there you have it. No perfume called Creation has been assigned."
"Thanks Caro," laughs Melody, smirking she finally remembers, the memory of the perfume, "that was most helpful."
Going over to her desk and pulling out the confiscated papers "would you be a dear and tell Sirius I'm not mad or anything of the kind," pointing to the papers in her hand "Professor Sinclair has assigned me an essay, that he wants finished by tonight."
Hearing Caro groan, Melody felt bad about lying to her "tough break, I'll be sure to tell him." Smiling she leaves the room. Sitting down at the desk, Melody starts to fill in the forms. 'Wonders' snickering under her breathe, reading the line about the product manufacturing company Melody smiles evilly as she writes 'The Potions Master.'
Feeling a hand on her shoulder, Melody jumps up in shock "Remus," hand on her heart "Don't do that," sighing in relief "what's up?"
"Sorry Mel," laughs Remus "just thought you might like a break, seeing how dinner is in like thirty minutes."
Looking at the clock "Damn, your right." Frowning then groan, Melody looks back at the bottle in front of her. Gesturing to it "I can't get this thing, to work right."
Picking it up, Remus exams it, pulling out his wand he mutters a charm. Watching in the parts work themselves into the correct form. Radiation a smile at him, Melody thanks him as she puts the bottle into a small box.
"Stealing my girl, hmm Remus," questions Sirius as he walks into her room.
Laughing at them "God no, Chloe would kill him first," going up to Sirius and kissing him soundly on the mouth "just saving me from working on this stupid project of Professor Sinclair's all night."
Tugging on Sirius's arm "I'll meet you for dinner I just have to drop this off to the professor. OK?"
"Yeah," groans Sirius "but if you don't show up, I'm coming to look for you."
"Fine by me," floats back to him.
"See Sirius," points out Remus "nothing to worry about."
Dungeons
Opening up the door, Melody see Severus still working. Knocking lightly on the door she gets his attention "finished my research."
"Well," drawls Severus "What did you find out?"
"That Professor Sinclair," answers Melody "is using you to make himself a rich man."
Shocked, Severus stopped stirring the potion "your just saying that because he picked on you in class."
Holding out the papers, she snatched last night "take a good look," waving them in front of him "he's using you."
Severus snaps that papers out of her hands, reads them over. He facial expression almost becomes murderess "I have been working on this," gesturing to the cauldron "for years just so that he can take all the credit."
"no," laughs Melody "your going to get the credit and a few other things. I just need you to sign your name to the bottom of this page," pointing to the spot.
"But to even mark this stuff I have to have a bottle," hiss Severus.
Pulling out the bottle and waving it in front of him "Severus get one thing straight you might have created this," gesturing at the cauldron "but since I have prevented someone else from taking the credit and have created a bottle for it to be marketed. I am demanding partial rights" holding up a hand "before you get all upset I suggest you read that," pointing to the papers in his hand "over."
Watching him move around the room, he pulling out a quill, signs his name "I don't need to." Gasping Melody, just stares at him "if you're finished staring at me. It seems I need to send this little bottle and some notes," holding out his hand, Melody shakes it "nice working with you."
The Dinning Room
Walking towards the Gryffindor table, Melody smiles happily 'I wonder how Severus is going to react when he finds out that he gave Remus 25 percent of the profits.' Sirius stood up, as she got closer to him. Smiling at him, Sirius returns her smile.
