Luna and Draco strolled casually into the potions classroom. Snape

was fuming behind his desk as usual. His black eyes flashing from

beneath his black hair.

* It has come to my attention, that some fo you (nasty look directed

to the Gryffindors) have been insulting me. My inside sources tell me

that you also are behind in your homework. Therefore, all homework

for this week shall be doubled as an encouragement to get back on

task as soon as possible.* The class groaned and Luna could've swore

she saw him smile at her beneath his long hair.

The ingredientswere zappped onto everyone's desk and they began.

A dash of wormblood, and teaspoon of snake rattle juice.

*This stuff, bloody STINKS* Ron exclaimed.

*Mr. Weasley! We can do without your commentary about the Karcurserus

Potion!* Snape snapped harshly. *If you even get cursed this potion

could save your life!*

Ron rolled his eyes, and Eliza just mouth *okay* at Ron.

*Professor!!* Exclaimed Draco.

*It's Luna, she's passed out!*

*Mr. Malfoy, bring Ms. Morrisson up here. Weasley help him!*

Ron groaned as he helped Draco lift Luna onto Snape's desk.

Snape, held up a small flask or sweetly smelling potion. He dripped a

small amount from the cap onto Luna's lips.

Magically Luna sat up.

*Professor! What happened?* Luna asked,

*The fumes from the Karcurserus Potion made you pass out, you're

alright now.*

*Thank you Professor* She said, smiling at him. Snape looked

surprised, then his face softened momentarily. Suddenly it snapped

back to it's usual menacing feelingless self. Snape, was coughing

horribly. He collapsed onto the floor, his chest heaving.

*Professor!* Luna exclaimed, dropping to her knees next to him. She

brushed the long black hair out of his face, and placed a finger on

his neck.

*I'v got his pulse! He's alive*

Luna heard a snicker from the back of the room. Then a husky, ugly

voice spoke out.

*He's such a weak Professor, it makes me sick! He can't even stand up

to one of my belgian fainting spells*

Severiana Phlemington, a new Ravenclaw, stepped up. Her long unruly

black hair surrounded her face, which housed her black unfeeling eyes.

She looked strangly like Snape, just harder, and with no heart.

Luna glared at her.

*Don't think you can waltz in her and start knicking out the

professors!* She sneered. Her blue glittery eyes flashed, also

somewhat like Snape's.

Luna magicked Snape onto a stretcher, and started to walk him down to

the hospital wing, but she stopped in form of Severiana. She pulled

back her hand and slapped Severiana hard acrossed the face.

*I'll teach YOU to mess with SLYTHERIN house!* Luna growled.

Luna, Draco, Janie, Eliza, Ron, Harry, and Hermione continued to the

hospital wing. Luna and Draco walked with their noses up.

Severiana narrowed her eyes, and sensed the ring. *Shes the one*

Severiana thought to herself.

*Hey!* A red headed Ravenclaw 6th year ran up to Severiana. *What do

you think you were doing, knocking out Snape!* It was Andrew of

Ravenclaw. He was a Beater, and team captian. He was now right in

front of Severiana. *Don't think that just because you're on my team,

you can get away with everything.*

Andrew was joined by his girlfriend Ashley. *C'mon Andrew, we've got

to go to dinner* Ashley said. She smiled at Severiana, who only

returned a grimace.

**********************************************************************

Snape was concious again, and sitting up in his bed in the hospital

wing.

*Ms. Morrisson, have you been here all evening?* He asked softly, his

voice still coming to.

*Yes Professor* Luna said, munching on a chocolate frog.

He reached up and brushed her bangs out of her face. Luna just kept

smiling.

*Has someone used a cheering charm on you?* He asked suspiciously.

*Yes actually, Draco and I okayed it, so Madam Pomfrey used the spell*

*Oh! Look at the time! Dear girl you must go down to dinner, don't

spoil it with such things* Snape said.

Luna started to walk off, then turned around.

*Professor? Why are you so nice to me?*

Snape was silent for a moment, and thought.

*I don't know* he said *Maybe it's just you're going to marry the son

of my old school-friends*

*Oh!* luna said laughing. Then she skipped off.

Snape watching, and bit back tears...

*Whay can't I tell her!* He thought to himself.
