Chapter 7:

"Snape Mishap"

Eve entered the common room that night. She looked depressed. I came over to her and set her down on the couch.

"Eve, is everything okay." She just merely stared into the fire. I moved strands of brown hair out of her wet face. She had cried her eyes out.

"David" she muttered. I did not catch that. "What?"

"David" she says louder. I still didn't understand. But than she handed me the letter. My eyes grew wide at every line. That dirty--

"Oh, Eve, I'm sorry. He's nothing more than a stupid bastard. And that girl you call a friend, Jackie, nothing more than piece of dirt. Don't listen to those bastards.

They're nothing. Jackie used you to get closer to David. She can never get her own man. It's all right." Tears welled up in her eyes. I rested my chin on her head and

let her cry on my shoulder. Harry, Ron and Hermione walked down the stairs. Ron and Hermione were yelling at each other at the top of their lungs.

"Ron, if you paid more attention to your school work, maybe I could help you with the luner Charts ---"

"Mione I don't care, if you weren't so---" Ron was cut off by Harry, when he saw me and Eve.

Hermione came over tentively. "Is everything okay?"

Eve stopped crying at once. She sat up and turned her head towards the portrait hole. She didn't want anyone to see her like this, let alone the boy who lived.

"I'm f-fine."

"Let' sgo and have lunch than. I need to have a good eating, we've got potions with Slytherin scum." Ron said heading towards the hole.

"Yes let's" Eve said, recovering from her fit. I followed Ron, who took a liking to me and started bombarding me with questions about how to fill a luner chart. Since

Eve and I were smart students. Hermione did not mind us tieing with her. But she gave Ron a dirty look.

We marched down to the Great Hall. Ron was starving, he couldn't wait for us to find seats, so he scared a couple of first years and sat down. I lauhged and sat down

next to him .I spotted that Draco boy sitting next to a red headed girl and he caught my eye. He gave me a deadly look and I gave him one just as same. Ron glared at

the two of us and lead me away from him.

"You don't want to mess with him," said Ron giving Malfoy a glare.

"Why? He doesn't own the place." I said.

"Ya, well, stand up to him, and he'll make your life a living hell," said Ron as he gladdened his plate with roast beef and mashed taters.

I impatiently waited for the others to finish. Including Ron, who we had to drag away from the Great Hall, so we wouldn't be late. Harry says that Snake, no Snipe, can

be very nasty if late. Especially to Gryffindors.

As we were heading to the dungeons, I saw Malfoy, his hand wrapped around a red head I saw earlier at lunch. She was his latest girlfriend as I recall, Ron told Eve

and I.

"Skairek, ready to face Snape? Third-world country girl or not, he'll treat you the same." Draco snickered. His girlfriend giggled.

"I thought they were prettier. But I guess people who come from Lebanon look all the same--ugly little--" said his girlfriend. Harry apparently took out his wand. That

shut her up. She was pretty of course, but she was so cruel. Her silver eyes watching Eve's and my every move. I watched her just the same. Harry, Ron and

Hermione had warned us not to charge at any of the Slytherins. The circumstances would be brutal. I did not care. I did not even warn Harry not to hex Malfoy or his

snotty girlfriend.

Hermione whispered something in Harry's ear which sounded very much like, "Ignore them"

Harry put back his wand and led us into the dungeons where we took our seats.

The red head came to Eve and me and extended her hand, "I am Kaleen Tomas. Draco's girlfriend. You'd do well to stay away from him. He's mine." She raised an

eyebrow and gave an evil smile. She went to the other side of the room and sat next to Draco. My hands were shaking. Eve sat on my left and Harry on my right. He

noticed my anger and said in a low voice, "Don't try anything, he's not worth it." he looked back at Draco and sighed, "At least, that's what Hermione keeps on telling

me."

"Settle down class." Snape emerged from the back of the class in his usual black. He looked over at the students and threw his traditional look at the Gryffindors. He

tapped his wand at the bored and immediate instructions showed on the black board. He turned to face us and said in a cold drawling voice, "Today, you will be brewing

the Poly Juice Potion. This is a very difficult potion to brew. Since you are in your 6th year, it may not be a problem, since you know all your basics" he shot a glance at

Harry. "Can someone tell me what is a Poly Juice Potion" Eve's hand shot up in the air. So did mine. And Hermione. (A/N:Harry and Ron did not raise their hands

because they knew it would attract far too much attention if they knew. Deducing that they have already brewed it before)

Snape's cold beady eyes traveled across the room to the Slytherins. None raised their hands. Snape sighed and looked at Hermione, Eve and me. He walked over and

stood in front of us.

"Ah yes," he said loudly enough for the Slytherins to hear. Draco looked amused. "The transfers form Lebnin?"

"Lebanon, sir" Eve said quickly, my hand still raised. Snape furrowed his brow. His lips curled.

"And I suppose you know what poly juice potion is?" he said slowly. He clearly loved tormenting new students.

"Duh! Why would we be raising our hands?" I said and added, "sir" I heard Harry and Ron stiffening laughs, trying to keep their face straight. Snape looked as though he had been slapped. Utterly harassed he said, "I will not be spoken to like that. 15 points from Gryffindor."

"Uh! For what?" Eve shouted. "Nadine answered your question!" Snape looked at us, looking defeated.

"20 points from Gryffindor!" he roared and turned his face toward the board.

Harry, Ron and Hermione and the rest of the Gryffindors (Including a few of the Slytherins) looked at us in a new light. I put down my hand and glared at Snape. Than I had a brilliant idea. Since I was a Metamorphmagus, I changed into the Replica of Snape. Everyone in the dungeons except Snape, had their eyes on me. I was slowly transforming into Snape, but with a pimple slowly growing and growing, and growing, bigger than an apple. Everyone burst into laughter. But before I could change back to myself again, Snape had turned around to see what was the laughter about. He spotted me into his self. His already green face contorted with rage, and he shouted, "DETENTION!"

"You really showed him!" whooped Ron as they walked out of the dungeons and made for the first floor landing.

"It's too bad you got to have Detention though." said Hermione but she was still smiling. I waved an impatient hand. "We've been through that before. Eve can cover for me. We look exactly like each other." I glanced at Eve who was smiling. We would do anything for each other.

"So, what've we got next...without that Slytherin class?" she asked Hermione who was checking the new schedule.

"We've got Transfiguration with Raveclaw." said Hermione relieved it wasn't with Slytherin.

"Good. I love Transfiguration." said Eve.

"Hey, guys I was thinking, about the Poly Juice Potion. When it's done, do we have to test it?" I asked.

"Of course" said Ron impatiently. "Fred and George told me. Nasty really. Snape had a Gryffindors and a Slytherin try it."

"You mean we can't take the form of a Gryffindors?" Hermione asked

"No" said Ron simply. "You'd think Slytherin would poison us" said Ron, and broke off with a shudder.

"Well, here we are. McGonagall's really nice. You'll like her," said Hermione.

We entered and saw McGonagall. She was apparently fuming from her last class.

"Good Afternoon class. Take your seats.

The Class went excellent. I managed to make my whole desk vanish!

*****~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*****

I entered Detention with Snape. Where a blonde boy with a pale face sat with other students.

"Oh, No." I muttered under my breath. "Malfoy" I took my seat. Looks like Malfoy had detention too.

I ignored him through the sitting. When it was over, I rushed back heading towards Gryffindors. I had a ton of homework waiting for me, when someone held my arm.

"Hey, what the--" I began but stopped immediately when I saw who it was. Draco Malfoy.

"Hey, I'm really sorry I was such a jerk. I really admired the way you handled Snape. Very impressive. So, let's start over." he held out a hand. I looked at it, but I didn't

shake it.

"I don't want to take any crap from you, Malfoy." I said. "Excuse me" and I ran and stopped in a corner. Perhaps he was really being sincere. But than the voice of

Harry came into my head don't listen to him. He's not worth it. I decided to go and tell my sister and the trio.
