Hermione couldn't believe her eyes… It was… Snape? It indeed was Snape. He had long silky black hair, that Hermione, for some odd reason, wanted to rake her hands through, and dark emerald eyes. Something was different about him though. There was a laugh in his eyes and a wide grin on his face. It couldn't be him! Now she was extremely confused. Snape was chuckling at the startled and shocked look on her face.
"Yes, I do think that I agree with you… Parents are the worst things to happen to a child," Snape said with a laugh. Hermione squinted her eyes, believing that this was someone else impersonating him… She tried to see if it was just someone else, but it wasn't. It was just the plain old Snape. Not that he was old or anything. Hermione began to stutter incoherently. Another voice arose from behind the man in front of her. She was still clinging onto Snape's arm for dear life.
"Now, now, D-Severus. Don't go insulting your parents," Lucius Malfoy said with a smirk. His brilliantly blond hair stood out in the darkness. His cold steel eyes were now lit with amusement. His aristocratic features and the way he held his head up high meant he was definitely a Malfoy. For some reason, Snape also held his head high and Lucius had stumbled on his name… This was getting really confusing.
"Of course, Lucius. I wouldn't want to insult my parents, now would I?" he retorted forcefully, but with another snort of laughter. Hermione looked between the two a look of surprise on her face. Wasn't Snape supposed to be good? Why was hanging out with his disgusting 'buddy' Malfoy? She thought quickly, her eyes widening in panic. What is going on?
"Good, one, Sev," Lucius replied mock-viciously. Snape didn't respond to the nickname that Lucius had used. He didn't even flinch. This was even odder that she had thought. The stars twinkling down at her seemed to be mocking her every move. The smirks on both of the men's faces were ridiculing her as the men pulled her closer to them. Hermione swallowed harshly, as 'Snape' ran a single elegant hand through her mass of brown curls. Lucius began to laugh maniacally as he watched her squirm under 'Snape's' grip. Footsteps could be heard from the opening leading down to the inside of the tower. She had a chance to get away from the two men! A dark head popped up from the opening. The two men dragged her into the shadows, veiling all three of them in darkness.
"Harry-" she began, but a hand covered hers forcefully almost instantly. She reached up to the hand and tried to pry it off of her face. She could feel the man's fingernails dig into her tender flesh. She whimpered as she felt a drop of blood come from under the man's hand.
"Hermione? Hermione, where are you?" a frantic voice called out from the other side of the tower. Another head popped out from the opening. This time the hair was bright red. She could hear the voices and the footsteps coming closer, but they always seemed so far away.
"'Mione? You there?" another voice said, his voice cracking from worry. She tried to speak, but only small murmurings could be heard. The hand clenched over her mouth even harder. She pulled down hard on the man's pinky finger. He grunted softly as his pinky finger bent the wrong way. The hand was removed from her mouth almost immediately before another hand could cover up her mouth.
"Ron, Harry! Help me. There are two m-" her voice was once more muffled by a hand. This time the hand was much colder and bony than the other one. She couldn't see out of the shadows for they obscured her vision. She began to tug at the hand again while she heard frenzied footsteps nearing her. There were definitely more than two pairs of feet. Soon she felt arms tugging her from the other man's grip. She heard a voice cry out in anger as she was torn away. She looked up. She was in the safe and secure arms of Harry and Ron. She turned around to see Lucius Malfoy and Snape again. McGonagall and Dumbledore were crowding around the two men while Mother was in the arms of Father, her eyes wide in shock. Soon another head was seen. It had black silky hair.
"What is going on here? Malfoy seems to have slipped off and… what the hell is that?" the silky voice everyone all knew and loved rang out through the air. Snape was referring to Snape… wait… he was Snape… then who was Snape, no the imposter? Hermione thought her gaze flying to both of the Snapes.
"Bloody hell, it was an hour already?" a new voice arose. Hermione watched as the Snape next to Lucius Malfoy skin began to bubble and boil. The hair shortened a bit and turned from black to blond in about two seconds. Cold gray eyes replaced the emerald ones. Soon, where the imposter Snape had stood, Draco Malfoy stood clinging to his father, exhausted from transforming.
"What the hell did you do that for, Draco Malfoy?" Snape yelled at his Slytherin student, as Dumbledore stroked his silvery beard thoughtfully and McGonagall stared at the Malfoys in utter disbelief. Then a look of understanding came upon her face that seemed to say, "Well… they are Slytherins…"
"I just wanted a bit of fun? Also… no I shouldn't say that in front of them. Wouldn't want them to hear his plans… now would we?"
