Detention. The word rang ominously in Kyou's head. Even though he had been one of the students that had hit Professor Snape, he felt the punishment was unmerited. He hadn't asked Snape to become invisible and dive in front of his attack.
In fact, he was certain that the entire incident was Snape's own fault, and therefore no one desserved detention. Except maybe Yuki. As that thought crossed through his mind, Kyou got a wolfish grin on his face.
Finally, his rival was in trouble. He couldn't be the perfect boy at school if he was holed up in detention. "Hey, Yuki!" he couldn't refrain from teasing. "How's it feel to be recognized for the damn rat that you are?"
Yuki turned his brilliant violet eyes on the orange haired boy. "Baka," he stated coldly. He turned away and back to the mostly invisible Snape. "You were saying," he prompted the angry teacher to continue.
Kyou watched as Snape's eyes narrowed into deadly slits. He smirked, noting that the Potions Master was watching Yuki through his narrow, black eyes.
"What does that mean?" Professor Snape hissed tightly. He was glowering at Yuki, but without warning, he rounded on Kyou. "Speak up," he commanded.
"Who? Me!" Kyou exclaimed. "Why don't you ask him? He's the one who said it, not me." Apparently, it was the wrong thing to say.
Snape's eyes narrowed even furthure, if that was even possible. "Mr. Souma take ten points from your house for your cheek," he said coldly.
"That's crazy," Kyou objected. "You were asking him a question, I was just - "
"Shutting up," Akito rasped.
Kyou fell silent immeadiatly, as did ever other Souma in the room. Akito was paler then usual. His black hair was hanging limply around his face, and on his left cheek was a blossoming black bruise.
Akito's eyes scanned the assmebled Soumas and came to a rest on Kunero. "Kunero," he murmured softly.
"Ha -Hai!" Kunero stepped foreword hesitantly. He eyed Akito carefully, and kept himself as unthreatening as possible.
"I'm not feeling well. Go fetch me my doctor," Akito ordered, his voice a bare mumble.
"Of course," Kunero replied. Then, on impulse, he bowed to the head of the family and backed out of the room.
Snape rounded on Akito. "Mr. Souma, what do you think that you're doing?" he hissed. "I'll be giving the orders around here, this is my classroom."
Akito's grey eyes narrowed. "Professor Snape," he said in a tight voice. "Maybe you're too stupid to realize somethings, so I'll make this perfectly clear. I'm not taking orders from anyone. Not Dumbledore, and certaintly not you. I'll do what I please, when I please and you will not try and stop me!"
The tempeture in the room chilled at his words. "You seem to be under the impression that you're someone important," Snape hissed.
"More important then you are now, have been in the past, or will be in the future," Akito answered immeadiatly. "Unlike you, I have . . . . . . control over those that are obey me." He smiled. "For instance, if I had been in command of this class, I would not have gotten struck by a student. In fact, on my mere word, Aya would have willingly cut off all of his hair."
"Would not have," Aya muttered quietly.
Snape didn't give any indication of hearing the snake's comments. "But you don't lead this class, and I won't stand for insubordination of any kind - "
"You won't be leading this class for very long if you make me angry," Akito declared, cutting him off in the middle of his sentence. "You're not even fit to be - "
It was too much. Snape whipped out his wand, giving it a sharp little flick. "Silenco!" he exclaimed, and Akito's voice died away. "You, Akito Souma, are a student in my class. You will listen when I speak, and if you're not spoken to, then you will be silent. If you think that you'll start talking without permission, I'll make sure that you can't speak. Do you understand?" He flicked his wand again, restoring Akito's voice.
"DIE YOU DAMN BASTARD!" Akito raged, his pale face livid with anger.

Hatori paused outside the door to the Ravenclaw tower. He was feeling strange again. A light wind seemed to be blowing across his face although there was no sign of any wind inside. His stomach felt as if it were bulging with food even though he hadn't eaten since the early morning, and the taste of fresh blood was warm on his lips.
He blinked and the sensation was gone. He released his wand, which he had been clutching tightly. "It was nothing," he said outloud to reassure himself.
"What was?" Kana asked lightly from behind him. She was standing with a couple of Ravenclaw girls from their previous class. They all looked bright and cheerful.
"Nothing," Hatori muttered. Seeing Kana in the midst of the girls seemed so natural. Even though he had never known her in school, he had the destinct impression that she had been popular in school. In fact, she looked like she was already pretty popular at Hogwarts.
"Oh . . . . okay," she said. She sounded a trifle dissapointed, but rebounded quickly. "Well, see you later then," she said brightly. She turned to the stone wall in front of her and called out the appropiate password. Glancing behind her, she smiled and waved before dissapearing into the chilly looking room.
"Nothins wrong," Hatori repeated softly.
"I suppose if you don't count ever member of Snape's Potion class turning into their respective animals after kicking him several times wrong, that comment would be true," Kunero said in one run on sentence behind the dragon.
Hatori whirled around. "What!" he exclaimed, anger being chased across his face by shock and concern. "How could you all be so careless?"
Kunero shrugged. "It doesn't matter now, does it," he responded.
Hatori's eyes narrowed. "Of course it matters. Akito doens't want anyone to know about the curse and if you were all transform- "
"Oh, don't worry. No one saw us transform," Kunero said dismissively. "We were practically invisible."
"You were invisible?" Hatori questioned softly.
"Yep."
"How did you get to be - "
"Invisible?" Kunero supplied. "Who knows. I wasn't really paying attention, but after class, Snape called us all back and Akito-sama sent me to find you."
"If no one transformed, then why am I being summoned?" Hatori asked.
"Because Akito-sama said he wasn't feeling well. Actually, he doesn't look really good either . . . . . " Kunero said.
Hatori shot the rooster a tight look. "If he wasn't feeling well, you should have said so right away."
** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **
Shigure listened to Akito death threats being directed at Snape with a curious expression on his face. Personally, he didn't think that it was a good idea to get on the bad side of a teacher, and it seemed that Snape was the worst teacher to upset.
He was getting really quiet and his face was getting paler and paler as he dealt with the misbehaving Souma. His black hair was hanging greasely around his face and his eyes were cold and dark. All in all, Professor Snape looked scary.
'He reminds me of my editor when I forget to give her my manuscript,' Shigure thought. He heard a slight tapping at the dungeon classrooms door and blinked. "Who is it?" he asked softly.
He kept his voice down succesfully, which wasn't that hard considering the amount of noise that Akito was making.
"It's me," Hatori's voice came through the door.
Aya bounced over and pulled the door open. "Akito's harrasing Professor Snape," he announced. "I'm fairly certain that one of them is going to end this in violence."
"You know who my money's on," Hatori said shortly.
"Who?" Aya asked curiously.
Hatori shook his head and turned back to the still shouting Akito. "Excuse me," he murmured to Aya. "Go sit down."
"Of course!" Aya exclaimed softly. He pranced back to his chair and sat down at the same time that Kunero did.
"Professor Snape," Hatori interjected into the conversation as soon as Akito paused for air.
"I forbid it!" Akito shouted, spit flying from his mouth.
"You forbid what?" both Snape and Hatori asked at the same time. They had turned to look at him carefully.
"Listen up," Akito said, ignoring them, his gaze sweeping across the room. "If I catch any Soumas calling this floating duck 'Professor,' I'll beat you into oblivion myself. Do you understand?"
Hatori calmly ignored Akito. He caught Snape's attention instead and started explaining to the teacher that the head of the family was rather ill at the moment and therefore, he shouldn't be held accountable for everything that he said.

Hiro was watching the fight with mild interest. He was still feeling mildly stupid for his panick when Kisa had dissapeared. He realized now that he should have used his head more.
They were working on invisiblity potions, just because she had dissapeared he had assumed something bad had happened.
He bent his head to his hands, closing his eyes. Kisa hadn't seemed as happy to see him as he had though she would be. She had smiled and greeted him regularly, but it was different somehow. She had seemed to be . . . . . preoccupied.
He supposed that it was probably on Tohru that the girl's thoughts resided. He sneered, looking around the room for any sign that the cheery girl was present. His eyes fell on Kisa then widened.
She had tears in her eyes and they were dribbling down her face. He shifted his sight slightly to the side and spotted Voldermort and his cronies whispering to her.
He stood up, intending to set things right when suddenly . . . . .
"Die!" Akito shouted. He tackled Voldermort, driving him into the dungeon floor with the weight of his body. He pulled back and punched him in the face, siezing his wand even as he pulled it out.
"How dare you attack my tiger with words or - "
"What are you doing now?" Snape interrupted Akito's rant. "Don't you think that it's time to give it up?"
"Never!" Akito screamed. He stabbed Voldermort with his wand, nearly putting out his eye before Hatori hoisted him up and slung him over his shoulder.
"I'll take him to see Madam Pomfrey," Hatori told Snape calmly.
"Of course, Souma," Snape responded with a slight nod of his greasy black head. He turned to the rest of the room. "Now, where were we?" he inquired.
"Blood," Hiro said shortly.
"Blood?" Snape repeated. "Are you ill by any chance?" he asked icily.
"No, but that's where we were at," Hiro said shortly once again.
"Explain yourself," Snape ordered. He looked irritated now.
"It's simple really. I'm going to kill that student right there if he makes Kisa bleed anymore," Hiro shot out. He pointed his finger at Voldermort.
Voldermort laughed. He had picked himself off the floor where Akito had knocked him. "I'd like to see you try," he said in a cold voice.
"Enough!" Snape snapped. "Be silent, you're not to speak anymore. You all have detention which will be served - " Even though he had hurried his voice as much as he could, he was still interrupted.
"Snape!" Aya shouted from the front of the class. He waved his hand wildly in front of the older man's face.
"WHAT!" Snape shouted. He tried to compose himself, but failed and stood smoldering while Aya stood up to explain himself.
"Well, you see. I was sitting here, listening to everything you said, when it dawned on me how terribly pale you are. Moving on from that revelation, I realized that your pale skin is made to appear pallid when seen against a black blackground," Aya began in a sing song voice. "Based on that realization, I tried to find a color that would suit you better."
"Terrific, now sit down," Snape ordered.
"Oh, so you're not the type of man who won't wear pink even if it would look good on him. I'm so glad. I think that I have the perfect outfit design. I'll make it for you and you can test it out right away!" Aya exclaimed.
"Fine, fine, whatever," Snape hissed, a vexed look crossing his face.
"All right, then I'll see you in a while!" Aya shouted. He picked up his bags and was out of the room without another word. "Don't forget, it'll be pink!" he called over his shoulder as the door closed.
Snape was torn between objecting to pink clothes and objecting to Aya's departure. In the end, he didn't get a chance to object to either. The white haired man was already gone.
"Detention will be served - " he started to rush through his announcement.

"The potions complete," Kagura had whispered to Hana as they entered Snape's dungeon. The teacher was giving some sort of speech about bad behavior, but she wasn't really listening.
"Will it work?" Hana asked. "We should test it first, don't you think? I don't want to give Tohru a potion that doesn't work."
"Of course," Kagura muttered. "But maybe we should test it first, ne?"
"Yes, but on who?" Hana asked spookily.
Kagura had been silent. Akito had started to rage. She remained quiet as Hatori entered and the head of the family attack Voldermort.
"We could test it on me," she said after a long moment. In the background, Hiro was threatening Vldermort.
"But what if it doesn't work?" Hana inquired.
"I'll be sure to look directly at Kyou. The potion should make me love him more."
"How will you know if you love him more?" Hana murmured.
"That's simple," Kagura responded. "If I love him so much that I can't hold it in. You see, right now, I want to run over to my beloved neko and kiss him over and over again, but I'm restraining myself. Once I drink the potion, I won't be able to help myself and my love will overflow."
Across the room, Kyou sneezed three times, interrupting Snape.
"I have a clear view of him from here," Kagura murmured. She tilted her head back and swallowed the potion in one gulp, her eyes closed.
"Are you catching a cold in my dungeon as well?!" Snape hissed, swishing in front of Kyou's desk with a look of rage on his face. Hatori had discretly accused him of being the reason that Akito had fallen ill. Since no one had really been paying attention to what was being said, that wasn't a something that they knew.
"I not getting sick," Kyou muttered darkly.
Kagura heard the sound of her love's voice and sighed. "Oh Kyou," she murmured.
Hana glanced over at her and then back at Kyou. Except, she noticed that she could barely see the orange haired boy from where she was sitting and it didn't look like Kagura would be able to see him at all.
"Wait!" she shouted loudly, causing Snape to swirl around and make eye contact with Kagura who hadn't waited at all.
"I LOVE YOU!" Kagura shouted. She was out of her chair and getting ready to kiss Snape before Rin knocked her to the ground.
Hana sighed, at least she knew that the potion worked.
** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **
"WHY'D YOU STOP ME PIN!" Kagura shouted. "YOU'RE TRYING TO KEEP MY BELOVED SNAPPIE POO FOR YOURSELF, AREN'T YOU!"
Rin didn't respond. She stared dispassionately at the pig she was pinning to the floor.
Snape's eyebrow twitched. "What did you call me?" he asked with a forced calm expression on his face.
"Snappie poo," Kagura repeated. "You love me, right? You want to be with me, right? You want me to bare your children, right? You want to hold and kiss and f*** me, right?"
For a moment, Snape was too stunned to speak. The students all took his quiet to mean that what she said was true. (NOT THE SOUMAS, ALL THE REST OF THEM) A low murmuring filled the dungeon classroom.
"Is that even legal?" someone asked.
"He's not denying it, it must be true," another assumed.
"What a pervert," a girl said.
"WHAT DID YOU CALL MY SNAPPIE POO!" Kagura exclaimed. She tackled the girl and proceeded to try and beat her into a pulp.
Rin knocked her down again and glanced up at Snape. "She's not feeling herself," the horse said softly. "She's not usually like this with men other then that idiot Kyou."
"You can keep Kyou, I've got my Snappie Poo," Kagura announced. She managed to get Rin off of her and kissed Snape on the mouth before anyone could blink.
In the blink of an eye, Snape had his wand out and held at ready. Before he could cast any spells, Uotani nailed Kagura to the floor from behind and Rin toppled on both of them.
"Just tell us what you have to and get it over with," Rin snapped. She had her hand over Kagura's mouth and it looked like she was getting bit.
"Take fifty points from each of your houses for each student present, and you all have detention for the rest of the year," Snape hissed.
An immeadiat objection went up through the room.
"Make it a month," Hana suggested, and Snape was too weary to argue.
"Come back here for detention in three hours - " his voice cut off abruptly. "On second thought, come here tomorow morning. I'll give you your detentions on the weekend," Snape murmured.
The classroom started to file out. Rin and Uotani dragged a strugglin, love-proclaiming, Kagura out of the room.
They were followed by the rest of the class.
Snape sank down into his chair and closed his eyes for a moment. When he opened them, he was starring at Haru's eyes.
"Where is everyone?" Haru asked. "I just got here and - "
"Get out!" Snape shouted. "Go away and leave me alone!"
"What should I do?" Haru asked.
"Go screw yourself," Snape murmured darkly.
BAM! Haru's fist connected solidly with the side of Snape's face, and Black Haru continued to attack the teacher until he was unconcious. Then he marched out of the room and promptly got lost.
** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **
Meanwhile, in the Great Hall, Tohru, Ritsu, and Momiji noticed that Hufflepuff was in the lead in the Inner House Competition. Apparently, Slytherian and Gryffindor were both at zero.
** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **
Author's notes'
Sorry for the short part on Momiji, Kana, Tohru, and Ritsu. I really couldn't add another section to this chapter. It was getting too big.
Anyway, I just finished reading the fifth Harry Potter book. It was great, wasn't it? I'm not sure that I liked Harry's personality change though. He was too arrogant. Anyway, I'm not going to say more, cuz I don't want to spoil.
Coming up next chapter ( I think ) we're going to have Quidditch tryouts. I'm going to waive the first year = no brooms rule, so who do you think should play for their house teams? Review and let me know.
Thanks for reading,
Kissa-chan

Detention. The word rang ominously in Kyou's head. Even though he had been one of the students that had hit Professor Snape, he felt the punishment was unmerited. He hadn't asked Snape to become invisible and dive in front of his attack.
In fact, he was certain that the entire incident was Snape's own fault, and therefore no one desserved detention. Except maybe Yuki. As that thought crossed through his mind, Kyou got a wolfish grin on his face.

He flicked his wand again, restoring Akito's voice.
"DIE YOU DAMN BASTARD!" Akito raged, his pale face livid with anger.

"I'll be sure to look directly at Kyou. The potion should make me love him more."
"How will you know if you love him more?" Hana murmured.
"That's simple," Kagura responded. "If I love him so much that I can't hold it in. You see, right now, I want to run over to my beloved neko and kiss him over and over again, but I'm restraining myself. Once I drink the potion, I won't be able to help myself and my love will overflow."
Across the room, Kyou sneezed three times, interrupting Snape.
"I have a clear view of him from here," Kagura murmured. She tilted her head back and swallowed the potion in one gulp, her eyes closed.
"Are you catching a cold in my dungeon as well?!" Snape hissed, swishing in front of Kyou's desk with a look of rage on his face. Hatori had discretly accused him of being the reason that Akito had fallen ill. Since no one had really been paying attention to what was being said, that wasn't a something that they knew.
"I not getting sick," Kyou muttered darkly.
Kagura heard the sound of her love's voice and sighed. "Oh Kyou," she murmured.
Hana glanced over at her and then back at Kyou. Except, she noticed that she could barely see the orange haired boy from where she was sitting and it didn't look like Kagura would be able to see him at all.
"Wait!" she shouted loudly, causing Snape to swirl around and make eye contact with Kagura who hadn't waited at all.
"I LOVE YOU!" Kagura shouted. She was out of her chair and getting ready to kiss Snape before Rin knocked her to the ground.
Hana sighed, at least she knew that the potion worked.

"WHY'D YOU STOP ME PIN!" Kagura shouted. "YOU'RE TRYING TO KEEP MY BELOVED SNAPPIE POO FOR YOURSELF, AREN'T YOU!"
Rin didn't respond. She stared dispassionately at the pig she was pinning to the floor.
Snape's eyebrow twitched. "What did you call me?" he asked with a forced calm expression on his face.
"Snappie poo," Kagura repeated. "You love me, right? You want to be with me, right? You want me to bare your children, right? You want to hold and kiss and f*** me, right?"
For a moment, Snape was too stunned to speak. The students all took his quiet to mean that what she said was true. (NOT THE SOUMAS, ALL THE REST OF THEM) A low murmuring filled the dungeon classroom.
"Is that even legal?" someone asked.
"He's not denying it, it must be true," another assumed.
"What a pervert," a girl said.
"WHAT DID YOU CALL MY SNAPPIE POO!" Kagura exclaimed. She tackled the girl and proceeded to try and beat her into a pulp.
Rin knocked her down again and glanced up at Snape. "She's not feeling herself," the horse said softly. "She's not usually like this with men other then that idiot Kyou."
"You can keep Kyou, I've got my Snappie Poo," Kagura announced. She managed to get Rin off of her and kissed Snape on the mouth before anyone could blink.
In the blink of an eye, Snape had his wand out and held at ready. Before he could cast any spells, Uotani nailed Kagura to the floor from behind and Rin toppled on both of them.
"Just tell us what you have to and get it over with," Rin snapped. She had her hand over Kagura's mouth and it looked like she was getting bit.
"Take fifty points from each of your houses for each student present, and you all have detention for the rest of the year," Snape hissed.
An immeadiat objection went up through the room.
"Make it a month," Hana suggested, and Snape was too weary to argue.
"Come back here for detention in three hours - " his voice cut off abruptly. "On second thought, come here tomorow morning. I'll give you your detentions on the weekend," Snape murmured.
The classroom started to file out. Rin and Uotani dragged a strugglin, love-proclaiming, Kagura out of the room.
They were followed by the rest of the class.
Snape sank down into his chair and closed his eyes for a moment. When he opened them, he was starring at Haru's eyes.
"Where is everyone?" Haru asked. "I just got here and - "
"Get out!" Snape shouted. "Go away and leave me alone!"
"What should I do?" Haru asked.
"Go screw yourself," Snape murmured darkly.
BAM! Haru's fist connected solidly with the side of Snape's face, and Black Haru continued to attack the teacher until he was unconcious. Then he marched out of the room and promptly got lost.

Meanwhile, in the Great Hall, Tohru, Ritsu, and Momiji noticed that Hufflepuff was in the lead in the Inner House Competition. Apparently, Slytherian and Gryffindor were both at zero.

Author's notes'
Sorry for the short part on Momiji, Kana, Tohru, and Ritsu. I really couldn't add another section to this chapter. It was getting too big.
Anyway, I just finished reading the fifth Harry Potter book. It was great, wasn't it? I'm not sure that I liked Harry's personality change though. He was too arrogant. Anyway, I'm not going to say more, cuz I don't want to spoil.
Coming up next chapter ( I think ) we're going to have Quidditch tryouts. I'm going to waive the first year = no brooms rule, so who do you think should play for their house teams? Review and let me know.
Thanks for reading,
Kissa-chan
