Author's Notes: So, Tired.... Need Sleep.... *yawns* Please let me know what you think, otherwise there will be no next chapter mwahahahahahahaha!
Disclaimer: *sigh* as much as I'd love to be rich enough to buy the rights to Harry Potter, I'm not so I don't own him, his world, his friends or his enemies, or anything else that occurs in the Harry Potter books.
The lightning and thunder was the only company Severus Snape had as he walked through the grounds towards Hogwarts. Dressed in a long black robes, and a cape that covered him from head to toe he almost disappeared into the dark night as he trudged through the muddy puddles. It has not been a good night he decided as he underestimated the deepness of a puddle for the hundredth time this evening.
"I told him, she was dead" He muttered as he glared towards the only lit up window in the entire castle. Dumbldore's Office. "Idiot old man" He said quietly to himself as he walked through the giant doors and into the school then he looked around. His eyes searched the area as though he was daring some student to come out of the shadows and suffer his wrath. It would be a good way to end a bad day He mused with a nasty grin.
He stared at Dumbledore's office door contemplating what good it would do to open the door. Hmm. I'm going to tell Dumbledore what I've told him before. She's Dead. Granger is possibly in there, Weasley might be in there, and oh merlin there's a chance that Potter's in there. He thought and shook his head. Nothing good can come out of you opening that door cried a voice in his head.
"Well come in Severus" Dumbledore said before Snape had even moved to open the door. 'I hate it when he does that' he thought then paused Oh merlin, I'm starting to sound like Potter He shuddered then opened the door to come face to face with "Black" He said with incredible distaste. He ignored the little voice in his head that said I told you so as he stared at the escaped convict's expression with confusion, he looked, well happy.
"Is something wrong" Snape snarled at Black who had the courtesy to raise an eyebrow, but the question didn't wipe the smile off his face. I can't take this Snape thought then looked at Dumbledore. The old man's eyes were sparkling with amusement then he too raised an eyebrow.
"How did it go?" He asked his voice steady.
"She's not among the living" Snape said annoyed "As I have already told you over and over headmaster". Should've stayed with Voldermort, he was so much simpler to understand he thought then shook his head.
Dumbledore sighed and leaned back in his seat, "Sirius are you sure she's still alive" He sighed,
Oh so it wasn't you who came up with this one Snape thought looking at Dumbledore annoyed. He glared at Sirius Instead it was you! Your Godson is going to suffer for this Black, mark my words
Sirius looked at Snape with a mirrored distaste. "I'm sure she's alive" He said stubbornly, but before Snape could argue Dumbledore's office door creaked loudly telling everyone in the room that the door had been opened.
Snape turned sharply ready to face any opponent that might be standing in the entrance. He groaned as he found himself facing a very tired looking Harry Potter. This evening keeps getting better and better
"It's great to see you too Snape" Harry muttered sarcastically as he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. Snape raised an eyebrow and his lips curled into what might be considered a smile. Perhaps a tired Potter isn't that bad Snape thought then decided silently that he wasn't getting enough sleep, Potter isn't that bad, honestly his mind cried in agreement.
"Hey Sirius" He said far more enthusiastically as he saw his Godfather. Snape raised an eyebrow as he noticed the looks on both Sirius and Harry's faces when Harry hugged his godfather. Looks like it was a surprise to both of them, he thought slightly amused.
"What can I do for you Harry?" Dumbledore asked his eyes sparkling as he watched the two awkwardly pull out of the embrace.
"Another nightmare" Harry sighed. Ha Snape thought as he looked at Harry's face, he did not look happy, actually he looked really pissed off. "Are you sure I can't a sleeping draught, I need a decent nights sleep" The sixth year whined to Dumbledore.
Dumbldore sat quietly thinking this over for the second time. "I still stand with my decision Harry, your nightmares are becoming a reliable source for attacks and we can't afford to lose those forewarnings at the moment, at least until we find another informant" Dumbledore said his eyes flicking to Snape. Severus flinched, he hated the fact that he'd let Dumbledore down.
It had been last year, somehow he'd managed to get caught in the middle of one of those Potter-Voldermort moments that they had yearly. Unfortunately, and he can blame both Harry and James for this, Potter needed help, and because of James, because of that annoying little voice that had reminded him of Potter's father, he came to his aid.
This had proved to be very unwise as Potter had plans of his own, plans that had not included a very pissed-off Snape jumping out of the crowd and cursing his fellow death eaters. As a result Harry had called him names ranging from slimy git, to words that Snape was not willing to repeat anytime soon. Next time, I'll just let him die he thought bitterly
Harry sighed "How long will that be?" he asked looking at his feet.
"We're working on it" Sirius said gripping his godson's shoulder tightly, "And as I was saying she is alive" He said looking at Snape
"For god's sake Sirius I've seen her grave---" Snape's voice caught, his sister would have killed him had she heard him talking about her like this, like she meant nothing. He turned and stared out the window into the pouring rain. "I saw her die" He whispered and turned back to Sirius who didn't look the slightest bit moved,
"She's *not* dead Snape," Sirius said
"Are you listening to me you pathetic imbecile, I saw an auror *kill* her by mistake" Snape snarled his eyes shining with hate, "And anyway, if you don't remember Voldermort wanted to *kill* her not let her join"
"Who?" Harry asked Dumbledore while the two men argued in the background.
"Kiara Snape", Dumbledore said looking at Harry.
"There's more than one Snape!" Harry exclaimed pleading silently for Dumbledore to tell him he'd got the last name wrong then he froze as another thought entered his mind, "Did someone actually marry Snape!"
Sirius doubled over laughing at the two comments that escaped his godson's lips, Snape on the other hand was staring at the back of Harry's neck wishing no less than a painful death upon him as the green eyed boy turned slowly as he registered the fact that both Sirius *and* Severus had heard the two comments.
"I mean-- err-- I guess its possible, I" Harry stuttered as he fell unwillingly into Snape's line of sight. "Yes, well anyway," Harry said quickly changing the subject "I think I may have a solution for you"
"What, on how to get Snape married?" Sirius asked a grin on his face.
Idiot Severus thought then realized that Sirius had wanted to shift the line of fire from Harry to himself, Snape shook his head Idiot
"No, Draco"
"What about Master Draco?" Dumbledore asked his eyes shining with thought
"Malfoy said he'd, well join our side, but I'm still trying to work out if its for real or you know" Harry said looking at the three powerful wizards that stood around him.
Dumbledore sighed and looked at Severus "We have few ways to find out since Severus is now wanted by Voldermort," He paused and looked at the two men that stood behind Harry. "Perhaps, you could look into it, discretely" He paused again and let a smile play at his lips "Together" he added causing the two men's expressions to change in a matter of seconds.
Sirius just stared at Dumbledore like he had never been asked to do anything as horrible in his entire life. He turned to look at Snape and then sighed. "Voldermort is going to pay for this one" He muttered.
"Err, no offense Dumbledore but wouldn't it kinda be stupid putting two people together who are wanted by opposing forces?" Harry said finally completely understanding Percy's statement at the start of first year. Dumbledore was a err, *bit*, mad.
"Unfortunately in that respect it is quite a good idea in that we'll be able to bluff our way out of things" Sirius said cringing "On the other hand, neither of us are really *only* targeted by one of these opposing forces, as you've named them"
"I didn't know the ministry was after you" Harry said to Snape in a tone that said bluntly 'but its believable enough'
"Alot of the people at the Ministry had the pleasure of being taught by Sn-- errr Severus" Sirius said to Harry his eye's sparkling like they used to when he was a teenager. Severus scowled at the comment. I see Black enough, the last thing I want is to be paired up with him,Snape shuddered Terribly bad wording there he noted to himself.
Dumbledore's eyes sparkled at the two men, "We'll talk about this later, for now I am interested to hear about Voldermorts planning" He said turning his attention to Harry.
"Oh! The nightmare!" Harrry cried, he'd been so caught up with what was going on around him he almost forgot what he'd come here to tell in the first place. "Err-- right, well this one really made little sense to me," Harry paused "Or Ron, or Hermione, but maybe you'll get it...."
