The next morning, Severus Snape eyed the students he had caught out of bed the previous night with an air of caution. The students seemed to behave in their usual manner, he could sense nothing amiss, but it was just too normal for his taste. Something would happen, and soon. He certainly was not looking forward to it at all.
"Nicki?" Taliesin asked quietly as the two were walking down to Professor McGonagall's class. "I talked to my mum. She started getting all red and stuff. I think you're right."
"Mm-hmm. I think so too." Nicki whispered with a smile on his lips as Diana Malfoy rushed up to the two, her blond hair mussed from running.
"Nicki! I owled my father this morning. I hope he doesn't send me back a howler. I suppose I should have waited until a better time though; he was in a meeting."
"Diana! you should have more sense than that." Taliesin scolded as Nicki rolled his eyes and welcomed Alice Longbottom into their circle with a smile on his lips.
"Well, Alice, what did Frank and Neville have to say?" Diana replied brassily. Alice flushed a shade of crimson and licked her lips.
"Daddy is afraid of both Professor Snape and your dad. He did say something was going on, and he refused to say. Frank told me the rest. He said that Harry Potter is going round the bend."
"Really?" Taliesin replied, his eyes round opposed to Nicki's narrowed slits.
"We have to go to class, or Professor McGonagall will take off points." Nicki replied in an icy tone, stalking off with his books under his arm. The rest of the first-years looked after him, and then shrugged. It was just the Snape genes in him at work, they supposed.
Draco Malfoy narrowed his eyes at the tawny school owl that had dropped off a note on his desk, right in the middle of a meeting with Bill Weasley. He knew Diana wouldn't do anything like this unless it was an emergency. Draco quickly dismissed Bill, and returned his attention to the note, unfolding it and reading his daughter's neat girly print. His face grew an alarming shade of grey as he folded the letter and put it into his breast pocket. He just had to take care of this little indicent, and quickly.
"Severus Snape's rooms." Draco shouted out, as he stepped into his fireplace and was whisked off to Severus's rooms, much to the shock of Hermione and Remea, who had been taking care of girl problems, a box of tampons having been delivered at that moment.
"Er..." Draco mumbled, his face red. Even though he had daughters and that issue could come up, he never did want to face it. "Where's Sev?"
"In his office..." Hermione said weakly as Remea hid her face behind her mother, absolutely mortified that the Minister of Magic had caught her in that posistion.
"Thank you." Draco whispered, rushing out of the room as if a pack of werewolves were after him.
"Mr. Potter, I am not at all surprised by the stupidity of your actions in class today, as well as Misters Longbottom and Weasley!" Severus screamed at his three seventh-year Gryffindor students, slamming his Dailly Prophet down on his desk with passion, his eyes narrowed dangerously and his mouth nearly a nonexistent line. "You could have killed the entire class as well as myself. Do you realize..." Severus broke off at the enterance of Draco.
"Draco...?" Severus whispered, his eyes still narrowed, but for diffrent purposes, his heart pounding in his chest. The face Draco wore was passive, but Severus had known the boy since he was an infant, and knew when something was going to happen....
"Severus."
