James and Andrew were still dragging a protesting Louis to the dungeons. "James! Andrew! I was being sarcastic! You know joking! Come on guys!" Louis cried out in pain as James bit his arm.

"You told us sumthin we didn't like! So now we're gonna go confront Professor Malfoy!" Andrew yelled and kicked open the doors to the potion's room.

Draco looked up from his papers and smiled warmly at the students. "Good afternoon boys. How can I help you?" Draco asked civilly. James and Andrew dropped Louis.

"YOUR OUT TO GET OUR MUM!" James yelled pointing and staring with pure hatred. Andrew nodded his head rapidly.

"I beg your pardon?" the confused Potion's Master asked. James blinked.

"Um...So your not trying to get my mum to fall for you so you can turn her over to the dark side to kill her as a human sacrifice to gather the DEATH EATERS AROUND TO ANNOCENCE A NEW LEADER!?!?!?!?!" James was now at a yelling state and posing dramatically. Draco blinked.

"Er...no."

Andrew looked at James; James looked at Andrew and they both glared at Louis, who was sitting at one of the tables sulking. Draco smiled and laughed.

"Are you that paranoid James?" Draco questioned the boy, receiving a confused look. "Are you? We'll only going to be there for 2 weeks. That's 14 days. I'll try my best to make Vincent stay away. If I know him, he'll be in his room 18 hours out of the day. So don't worry."

Louis snorted and stood. "I'm leaving. I need to pack.." He huffed and stalked out of the room.

Draco waved. Andrew followed his brother out of the classroom. James glared, blinked and followed.

Ginny laughed and chased Amber around the living room. "Amber! Your father's gonna be here in 2 hours! We need to get you ready!" she argued as Amber ducked behind the couch. "But Ginny! I don't like dressing up! Daddy makes me dress up every time we go and visit grandpa!" Amber whined. Ginny was about to protest and magically make her wear it when the doorbell rang. Sighing, Ginny made her way into the kitchen. Amber smiled and followed, while pulling on her green sundress to make herself look presentable.

Ginny opened the door. "We don't want any, I'm....PROFESSOR SNAPE!?!?"

~/~/~/~/~/~/~

Draco sighed. They couldn't all apperate, so they were left with taking the long way. And the fact he was watching three Weasley's AND his own kids weren't helping. James and Vincent glared at each other and Louis and Alec wouldn't stop playing Exploding Snap. Daniel and Andrew were trying to get an intelligent conversation about Quidditch going with James who just sulked.

"Ok that's it! Vincent, James! Outside now!" Draco yelled and pointed to the cabin's door. The two boys looked at him and snorted.

"NOW!" Draco roared. They jumped up and out the door. He followed in suit. Once he had left, the remaining boys snickered.

Vincent leaned against the cabin outside wall with his eyes closed. James was standing and swaying slightly with each movement of the train. Draco frowned. "Into this cabin, now." He instructed, pointing to the cabin behind theirs.

Once in the cabin Draco told them to sit, shut up, and listen VERY carefully.

"You two are driving me UP the fucking wall. I want you two to behave, converse and talk as if you've known each other since you could remember. And if I hear you argue, or if I see you glare in the presence of your mother, Ms. Weasley, I WILL personally kill you. Any arguments?" he stared coldly at the boys. They looked at each other and snorted.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Draco yelled in frustration. "YOU DON'T GET IT DO YOU!? YOU WILL LISTEN TO ME AND DO AS I SAY OR I WILL TURN YOU INSENSENATIVE LITTLE PRATS INTO MINDLESS ZOMBIES AND MAKE YOU PUT ON A SHOW FOR THE WHOLE SCHOOL WITH THE IMPERIO CURSE!!! DO YOU WANT THAT?" He yelled so loud that now James and Vincent had their backs plaster against the seat. They shook they're heads in unison.

"THEN WE UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER?!" he yelled pointing his wand at them for dramatic effect. They nodded.

"WHAT?"

"Yes sir." They mumbled. Draco smiled. "Ok then!" he opened the door and Louis, Alec, Daniel and Andrew crashed in and landed in a pile.

"Um hi.." Louis waved. Daniel and Alec grinned sheepishly and looked at each other. Andrew laughed nervously.

Draco had a vein the size of Manhattan Island. The four fallen boys jumped up and back into their cabin without another word. Draco turned back to Vincent and James.

"You two will remain in THIS cabin TOGETHER for the rest of the trip? Is that agreed?" he pressed. James nodded and Vincent opened his mouth to protest but decided against it.

Draco walked out and locked the cabin with his wand. Of course he knew they could get out but...there's a catch if they try too.

~/~/~/~/~/~/~

"Hello Professor." Ginny choked and moved aside so he could enter her home. Amber beamed at the man. "UNCLE SEVERUS!" She yelled and tackled Snape. He smiled and picked her up. "How are we today girls?" he asked gesturing to Ginny. She huffed. "Professor-----"

"Ms. Ginny I am no longer a Professor. Please call me Severus."

Ginny was taken back but nodded. "Severus, I would like to know why you are here? I have company coming and my son's will be home soon."

He nodded. "I know. Draco Malfoy and his son's. I was informed he'd be here. Plus....I needed to give my favorite niece her Christmas presents." Snape smiled at Amber again and she giggled.

"Really? Uncle Severus I wanna open them now!" She whined. He shook a finger at her hastily. "No no. It's not Christmas for another," he looked down at his non-existent watch. "4 days."

He set Amber down and looked at Ginny. "Ms. Weasley..I'd like to say that I'm sorry for your loss.....And if it is ok if I wait here still Draco shows. May I?" he asked politely. Ginny backed her head in shock.

"Severus....You're so nice? Why?"

"Why? People change. Especially Death Eaters..And ESPECIALLY if the dark lord they served is dead." He explained sitting at the kitchen table.

Ginny blinked then smiled warmly at him. "Of course you can Severus. Oh if you like you can stay here for Christmas. With the lot of us. If...If it fits your tight schedule?"

Snape grinned. "No thank you. I've got....other plans. But I'll be here Christmas day. Ok?"



Ginny nodded then went to the living room, where Amber had ran off too. "Amber! Amber come down here! Help me with dinner please!" Ginny yelled once she saw Amber was nowhere to be seen in the living room.

~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~

Amber was throwing things all over her room, from her bag from Ginny's call reached her.

"ALL BE DOWN IN A MINUTE!"

Amber pouted. "I can't find it!"

Find what?

"Harry go away! I'm busy!" Amber barked. Harry was surprised at her anger for being so small. He blinked and hovered over her shoulder. What are you looking for? He asked again. Amber glared at him.

"I got Uncle Severus and Christmas present and I can't find it! I know I brought it!" she snorted in aggravation and started her way back into the kitchen.

Harry 'OOH' and beamed. AMBER! AMBER! IS THIS IT?!? Harry threw out his arms. A small package lay in his transparent hands. Amber's eye's widened. "Where did you find it!"

I stole it..... Harry smiled at his own sneak-ness.

"HARRY!!!!!!!!!!"
