New Neighbor
Chapter 7
"What on earth are you wearing?!" Hermione screeched, looking me up and down. I blinked in confusion. "And where are your glasses?"
"I got my eyesight corrected Herm...oof!" I was cut off as the bushy haired girl threw herself at me.
"Oh, what does it matter!? How was your summer?" I glanced at Ron, who grinned at me and shrugged. "It's too bad you couldn't come over to the Burrow."
"Wait a minute..... I was invited?" I asked as we sat down. "When?"
"I sent you a letter about two weeks ago mate. Didn't you get it?" Ron spoke up. I shook my head. "But...I got a reply from you saying that you couldn't!"
"I was with Eryk most of the summer..... and I never got any mail from either of you!" I exclaimed.
"Eryk?" Hermione questioned. I rolled my eyes.
"He just moved in next door to the Dursleys. He's a wizard." Ron cocked his head in question. "Dumbledore knew about him after I fire called him. He wasn't too pleased about our acquaintance."
"I wonder why...." Hermione mused. I smirked.
"He's Snape's twin brother." Ron promptly fell out of his chair and Hermione gasped. "But he's nice! Nothing like Sevvie."
"Sevvie?!" Ron choked. I sniggered and Ron laughed. I glanced out the window to see the top of Hogwarts come into view.
"We should get changed into our robes." I muttered. "We're just about there."

"Welcome to another year at Hogwarts!" Albus began. "Before we introduce our new Professor, we should get our new students sorted. Professor McGonagall, if you will?"
"Certainly Headmaster." I tuned the sorting out as I stared at the empty chair beside Snape, wondering who the new Defense teacher could be. Beside me, Ron was staring longingly at the empty plates.
"Harry!" Hermione hissed. I smirked and ignored her, which made her huff in annoyance. Ron sniggered beside me and I tuned Dumbledore back in when he stood again.
"Now, a few quick announcements! The Dark Forest is strictly forbidden, unless you are going in with a teacher to serve detention. Mr. Filch would also like to say that there are several new items not allowed in the school, if you wish to see the whole list then it is posted on his door." Several people rolled their eyes. "And lastly, our new Defense Professor is.."
"Bloody hell!" I spat out my lifesaver. Eryk grinned from his spot beside his twin and waved at me merrily as several people around me groaned about there being ANOTHER Snape.
"I would like you all to meet Eryk Snape!"
