That night while everyone else was sleeping, including Ron, Harry and
Hermione began to talk about what to do about Lacey. "Do you really think
she wants to kill Ron?" Harry aksed quietly. "I don't really know...she
seems harmless, but looks can be diseaving," Hermione replied. "Why don't
we go spy on her? I'll go get my cloak!" Harry said as he got up to get it.
"What if she has an eye like Moody?" "We won't know unless we try."
"Alright, hurry up." He came back with the cloak in hand and got under it
with Hermione, they did it just in time. Lacey came down the stairs with
ingrediants in hand. She looked around to see if anyone was there and
quietly went out the door. Harry and Hermione followed quickly and quietly
as they could. "What is she up to?" Hermione wispered. Lacey went down to
the dungeons where Snape's class was. 'Since it's so late, if she was
caught down there Snape would definately take away 100 points', Harry
thought. Lacey opened the dungeon doors and went into the classroom. Snape
was obviously grading papers since he was writing largely and fast. "Hi
Uncle Severus!" Lacey said with a large smile. Snape gave the biggest smile
Harry and Hermione had ever seen, it was more creepy than a nice greeting!
"Ahh, Lacey how are you?" he said as he knelt down and hugged her. "Just
fine, I met that boy you told me about, that Weasley boy, and his
friends."Lacey replied "Good, did you bring the ingrediants needed for this
potion?" he said returning to his papers. "Yeah, but I can't stay I'm very
tired," she said and put them on one of the desks,"Good night Uncle
Severus." "Good night." Harry and Hermione followed her out of the dungeon
and stopped half-way and Harry turned and asked in disbelief, "Did she say
'Uncle Severus'?" Hermione replied with a nauseous nod. "We have to tell
Ron, now!" Hermione ripped the cloak off herself and began to run towards
the Gryffindor tower, Harry followed and triped up the stairs on the cloak
before he took it off. "Hermione! What if someone see's us?!" Harry
wispered loudly. "They won't if you'd stop talking!" She called behind
herself when they finally made it to the tower. "Hogsbreathe" Hermione
panted and walked in with Harry. They checked to see if Lacey was in the
common room and saw it was empty then they ran up to the boys' tower to
tell Ron what they found out. They found ron smiling in his sleep saying
"Oh Lacey...you're so pretty." "Oh I can't take anymore of this--Ron wake
up!" Hermione said angrily. "Huh? What's going on?" Ron said sleepily.
"Ron, Lacey has an uncle that works here, it's Snape!" Harry said. "Shh!"
One of the boys called from another bed. "You woke me up to tell me
something I already know?" Ron said angrilly, "I'm going back to sleep!"
Hermione had had enough and grabbed Ron's collar and led him and Harry down
stairs. "What do you mean you already know?!" She yelled, "Why didn't you
tell us?!" "I didn't think it was a big deal ok?" Ron replied taking
Hermione's hand off his shirt. "Don't you find it a little weird Ron? I
mean Lacey's uncle is SNAPE and she's in Gryffindor?" Harry asked. "Oh you
two need to get another hobby other than stalking my girlfriend!" Ron
yelled and walked away up to the boys's tower, then added "GOOD NIGHT!"
Harry and Hermione were left in astonishment..."GIRLFRIEND?!!!" They both
yelled at the same time.
