The Pensieve

Snape lay panting on the ground. James and Sirius advanced on him, wands raised, James glancing over his shoulder at the girls at the water's edge as he went. Wormtail was on his feet now, watching hungrily, edging around Lupin to get a clearer view.

"How'd the exam go, Snivelly?" said James.

Harry watched Malfoy fume away, as he watched his favourite teacher being taunted by his enemy's dad. Lavender's hand seemed permanently attached over Malfoy's mouth, ensuring he didn't let out another outburst.

"I was watching him, his nose was touching the parchment," said Sirius viciously. "There'll be great grease marks all over it, they won't be able to read a word."

Several people watching laughed, including Lavender. Snape was obviously unpopular, much to Malfoy's disgust.

Snape was trying to get up, but the jinx was still operating on him; he was struggling, as though bound by invisible ropes.

"You – wait," he panted, staring up at James with an expression of purest loathing, "you – wait!"

"Yeah! You just wait!" yelled Malfoy. He had wrenched off Lavender's hand, and was turning red with frustration.

James, Sirius, and Snape turned to look at Malfoy, eyebrows raised.

"What's your name?" asked Sirius.

Lavender instinctively jumped in front of Malfoy, waving her arms about.

"He's got some problem." She said loudly. "Yeah, a problem. He likes to . . . . to. . . . repeat things. Yeah, repeat things other people say. Don't you, Terry?"

Malfoy looked at her, astounded. "What? No!"

Lavender jumped in front of him again.

"Doesn't like to admit it. Just makes the problem worse. Right Terry?"

"No! And I am not Terry! My name is-"

"Terry! Please. You've begun school now. No fibbing." She wagged her finger in Malfoy's face. "How many times have I told you-"

"How about never?"

"Told you that you're a big boy now? Eh? Terry, you really are one of the strangest-"

"MY NAME IS NOT TERRY!" Malfoy yelled at the top of his lungs.

Lavender threaded her arm into the crook of his elbow and led him away from James, Sirius, and Snape. They sat behind some bushes, muttering aggressively at each other.

James coughed and turned to see Snape still struggling.

"Wait for what?" said Sirius coolly, as if nothing had happened. "What're you going to do, Snivelly, wipe your nose on us?"

Snape let out a stream of swear words and hexes, but with his wand ten feet away nothing happened.

"Wash out your mouth," said James coldly. "Scourgify!"

Pink soap bubbles streamed from Snape's mouth at once; the froth was covering his lips, making him gag, choking him-

"Leave him ALONE!"

James and Sirius looked round. James's free hand immediately jumped to his hair.

It was Harry's mother.

"All right Evans?" said James, and the tone of voice was suddenly pleasant, deeper, and more mature.

"Leave him alone," lily repeated. She was looking at James with every sign of dislike. "What's he done to you?" "Well, it's more the fact that he exists, if you know what I mean..."

"That's not good enough!" yelled Malfoy again, jumping out from under the bush.

More eyebrows were raised. Lavender peered over the bush, and in embarrassment, she quickly sat back down, and crawled away, to the tree Lupin was sitting under, not realising he was there.

"Sorry, um, Terry, was it? I never knew you were part of this conversation."

"I wasn't, but I am now. And you aren't!"

"What the-"James looked absolutely confused at Malfoy's comment.

"SILENCIO!" screamed Malfoy.

James's mouth was opening and shutting with no effect whatsoever.

"Locomotor Boy." Said Sirius coolly.

Draco rose into the air.

"Listen, Terry-"

"My name is NOT Terry!"

"What ever your name is. Do you want to end up like Snivellus over there? No? Than keep your mouth shut." Sirius flicked his wand, and Malfoy fell to the ground with a thud. "Now, Snivelly, I believe we have things to sort out..."

So how was that? Please r+r, roze x
