Thank you to all who have reviewed. Unfortunately I don't have the time to thank everyone personally…I'll probably do that at the end of the story…..but there are a few who had some questions and comments I do wish to address.
Maladady Jane- I just realized how random I threw Lupin in. I am soooo sorry. That part is based in my friend's story, which mine goes along with. Lupin, as well as Fiona, is there for the Order of the phoenix. Later on in the story, the fight against Voldie becomes way more of a part. But that you for making me realize how random that was. As for the Mary Sue, I know Alex pretty much falls into that category. I happen to like some Mary Sues, just not the weak fluffy headed ones that fall instantly in love with Snape. I believe that most OC's fall into the Mary Sue category just because of all the different versions there are.
Green Slytherin Chick- I dot he same thing sometimes. When I get writers block, I either read a fic on here or call up my friend and she helps me work out some ideas. Thanks for reviewing!!
Elynn- Yes I know the kissing part was kinda random. LOL but I had to do something there in order to give it a future for a relationship between the two.
I'm sorry I don't have the time to reply to more people. But I am sure that many of u are just skimming through in order to get to the story ;). That's ok. I forgive you. If any of u wanna chat…my aim name is Christiangrl017 I am always looking to chat with people.
Now onto the story!!! Oh, and remember to review. Thanks
Chapter Eleven
Alex spent the entire weekend avoiding Snape. She spent it writing letters back home to friends and family, filling them in on the latest prank updates. Her mother, obviously, wasn't very pleased with how Alex was behaving but her father found it very amusing and was proud of his daughter for sticking up for herself. But the weekend was over and she could no longer avoid the professor. Stepping out of the shower, Alex headed over to the mirror as she towel dried her long hair. It was actually getting a little too long for Alex's liking but figured she could deal with it until she got home. Wiping the water condensation off of the mirror, Alex let out a horrified scream that echoed all the way down to the dungeons where a proud smirk formed on Severus' face. Alex stared at her reflection in utter horror.
"Oh dear! You look dreadful." The mirror said. Alex's usual reddish-blonde hair was now a deep green, the obvious mark of a Slytherin. Or rather, the head of Slytherin house. Alex grabbed her wand and tried to fix it but nothing seemed to work.
"What the hell did he slip into my shampoo?!" Alex growled out as she started pulling on her clothes, having given up on fixing her hair. How did he even get into her rooms? He must have heard her say the password one time on his way to the dungeons.
"How am I supposed to hide this?" Alex whined looking helplessly into the mirror once again.
"May I suggest a hat or possibly a wig?" the mirror said rather sympathetically. Alex though for a moment then raced to her closet where she started digging through the top shelf.
"I know I brought it with me." Alex mumbled to herself.
"Aha!" She exclaimed and reemerged holding a blue Chicago Cubs baseball cap. Baseball was one of the few muggle sports that Alex rather enjoyed. Not as good as Quidditch, of course. She quickly tucked her hair up into the hat, making sure she hid it good enough so that no one could see.
"How's that?" Alex asked the mirror, surveying her work.
"It'll do." The mirror stated. Alex nodded then headed out of her room before she was late to breakfast.
"Good morning Alex." Lia smiled, meeting up with the girl in the corridor.
"Ha! Who says?" Alex shot back, grumpily.
"Uh oh. What happened?" Lia asked seeing the dirty look on Alex's face that could only mean Snape. Alex glanced around, making sure that they were alone. Quickly she lifted up a part of her hat, revealing her green hair.
"He didn't?!" Lia gasped.
"Yes he did. Somehow slipped something into my shampoo!" Alex replied, covering her hair once again.
"He did it to Sirius once. Still haven't figure out how he got into the Gryffindor tower." Lia chuckled. Alex let out a small laugh but was busy contemplating the best way to get back at Snape. Alex took her seat once again adjusting the hat just to make sure that no stray hairs were poking out.
"May I ask why?" Remus said pointedly looking at the blue baseball cap on her head.
"Please don't." Alex grimaced. Remus just shook his head in amusement.
"Hey, Alex! Here comes your favorite person." Fiona said from two seats down. Alex looked up just as Snape took his seat next to her.
"Good morning, Miss Harper." Snape stated rather calmly. Alex didn't reply but continued to glare hatefully at him. Severus studied the hat for a moment and silently decided that that just would not do.
"Headmaster. Isn't there some rule against wearing hats at the table?" Snape asked. Alex's eyes widened. He wouldn't! Oh yes he would. Alex cast a pleading look at Dumbledore. Surely, he wouldn't make her take it off?
"I do not know of such a rule, Severus. And if there was one, I should suggest that it was disregarded." Dumbledore spoke then changed the topic after studying the hat more closely. "Alex, I was not aware that you liked American baseball. I am also quite a big fan. Although, I must admit I rather like the New York Yankees." Alex smiled in relief.
"Yeah but with the Cubs, win or lose the fans stick by them. It's more then just a game! It's a sense of community pride. It's the same with American football. The Bears are one of the worst teams in the league but the fans still remain loyal." Alex preached.
"Interesting theory, Miss Harper. May I take a closer look at your hat? I don't believe I have seen one like it before." Snape interrupted. Before Alex could stop him, Snape swiped the hat from off the top of her head; her green hair came tumbling down. The entire room fell into silence as all eyes were on Alex. She could feel her face turning red as she shook with fury. Suddenly laughter was surrounding her, the loudest coming from the Slytherin table.
"You know, I think green looks good on you." Snape smirked placing the hat on the table in front of her.
"How dare you!" Alex snarled. Snape just raised an eyebrow at her. Before Alex knew what she was doing, she had grabbed a large pitcher of ice-cold water and dumped it into Snape's lap. His eyes widened in shock and pain as the cold water seeped into his pants. Cheers erupted from all houses, except for Slytherin.
"Feel better, Alexandra?" Snape asked with ice in his voice.
"Surprisingly yes." Alex laughed. The next thing she found a plate of pastries shoved in her face. Wiping the food from her face, she looked at him in outrage.
"Oh now you're gonna get it!" Alex threatened, reaching towards the bowl of scrambled eggs.
"FOOD FIGHT!" one of the Weasley's yelled out although Alex couldn't tell which. All the students started fling food at each other as Snape and Alex fought their own private war.
"ENOUGH!!!" Dumbledore's voice rang out over the yells. Everyone froze, all eyes falling on the Headmaster.
"You will proceed to your rooms to clean up before your classes. You two, in my office." Dumbledore said addressing the food covered Snape and Alex. "NOW!" Both adult scrambled up from their seats and exited through a side door.
Next Chapter: A truce is unwillingly formed!!
