BOOM!
"What the hell was that?" Heather screamed.
CRASH!
"Never mind that, what was that?" Danie replied.
The girls ran upstairs to find a sooty, coughing and disoriented Lisa staring at a vase she'd just knocked over.
"Oh hi guys!" Lisa said. "Sorry, I tripped coming out of the fireplace."
"Shit... hope this wasn't too sentimental." Danie said looking at the porcelain shards on the floor.
"What are you doing here... and where's Draco?" Heather asked.
"The HB came to dinner, so I came here instead of having to be in the same vicinity as him." Lisa replied, brushing soot off her shirt.
"What did you expect, Lisa? Look at who your father is!" Danie said, still staring at the vase. "What if it was Ming? LISA!"
"Where's Draco?" Heather asked again.
"Yea, I guess. Can't we just put that thing back together with some magic?" Lisa replied.
"Where's Draco?"
"We need Hermione. She knows how to do that." Danie said.
"WHERE'S DRACO?!" Heather shouted, fed up.
"Huh? Oh, he's still sitting through dinner with the hypocrite." Lisa said. "Is there a house elf that knows how to-"
"Heather, no!" Danie shouted and pulled her out of the fireplace.
"Well someone has to go get him!" Heather said.
"They'll kill you!" Lisa said.
"I'm a pure blood, aren't I?" Heather asked.
"But against Voldemort, and remember the prophecy!" Danie said.
"Damn you." Heather said, sitting down and pouting.
"I told him before we got to our house that I was coming here ASAP. He knows where to go." Lisa said.
BOOM!
Draco came stumbling out of the fireplace and knocked over a beautiful statue of a woman holding a glass orb. Danie jumped and caught it just before it hit the ground.
BOOM!
Snape came gliding out of the fireplace, looked at the shards on the floor and his eyes widened. He picked up a piece and let out a sigh.
"Okay, this was only the imitation Ming... Eleanor put that down!" He shouted as he snatched the statue out of Danie's hands. "These are your grandmother's ashes. If you broke this, we'd all be screwed."
Everyone else in the room's jaw hit the floor at Snape's uncharacteristic choice of words.
Snape turned to them. "If any of you see anything that looks even remotely valuable, DO – NOT – TOUCH – IT! And what have you two done to this house?" He asked looking around.
"We simply opened up the curtains and windows, it was so stuffy!" Heather said.
Snape glared at her. Heather held up her hands in mock defense.
"Well it was!"
Draco by that point was against the wall farthest from Snape.
"What's with you?" Lisa asked
"Did you know he's a Death Eater?" Draco accused.
"Was a Death Eater." Danie corrected.
"That's enough Eleanor; I can defend myself against Mr. Malfoy here." Snape said.
"After you left Lisa, they were talking about training me as a Death Eater, and he volunteered to do it! That's why I here!" Draco exclaimed.
Everyone groaned; Heather put her head in her hands.
"I just saved your ass you ungrateful child." Snape sneered, and flew out of the room.
"Sometimes I wonder about you." Heather said her voice muffled in her hands. She looked up laughing, just in time to see Danie trip over the rug in her attempt to mimic her father.
Snape stuck his head back in the door.
"You don't stomp you glide, about an inch off the floor."
The house was so loud you couldn't hear yourself think. It was filled to the brim with everyone from Draco Malfoy to Neville Longbottom and everyone in between. All the Weasley children (besides Percy) were in attendance, drinking punch (Which the girls had spiked with firewhisky when Snape wasn't looking.). Bill picked up his glass, took a sip and then snatched the glass out of Ginny's hand, turned to Professor Snape who had been standing beside him surveying the mess he had gotten himself into.
"Professor" he said "you do realize that this punch is spiked." He then handed the Professor the punch glass which Snape examined.
Bill grabbed the confused twins by their collars and dragged them over to Snape.
"We didn't do it!" Fred pleaded.
"Really! Some one beat us to it!" George piped up.
Snape sighed. "Put them down Mr. Weasley. ELEANOR DANIELLE SNAPE!" He bellowed. "GET YOUR BUSTED ASS OUT HERE!"
Everything went dead silent. Danie bounced into the room.
"You hollered, oh honorable father?" She asked brightly and bowed.
"You do realize what you have done?" Snape demanded.
"Ummm.... I got another tattoo, changed your wardrobe to all pink, changed the gothic figurines in the bathroom to rubber duckies and completely destroyed your rep at Hogwarts forever. Gotta be one of those, right G- dog?"
"No. You forgot that you spiked the punch and now you're in trouble for everything else... and you did what to my wardrobe?!" Snape asked. "Things just couldn't get any worse, could they?"
Two blood curdling screams erupted from upstairs. Moments later, Ron and Hermione came floating down the stairs, petrified and clinging to each other, followed by a beautiful woman with shocking blonde hair and long flowing robes.
"Sevvy darling, why are there intruders in the house? Didn't I always teach you to put the wards back up when you came in? What were you, raised in a barn? And who in heaven's name are all these people?" The woman said in a caramel-smooth voice. "Now come here and give your mother a hug. What sort of greeting is that, standing there with your jaw on the floor?"
"Hello, mother." Snape said, as Danie hid behind him, clutching at his robes, staring at her frozen friends.
"What the hell was that?" Heather screamed.
CRASH!
