Chapter 9
Snape Missing!?!
By: Sirius **Padfoot
October 4, 2003
By the time Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape showed up in Professor Dumbledore's office Wormtail and the other captive had woke up.
Snape stepped into Dumbledore's office right after Professor McGonagall to see Anna, Remus, and Sirius on one side of the room. Wormtail and the other prisoner on the other side of the room. Then Dumbledore in between the two groups.
Snape's eye's landed on the other prisoner and then widened with shock.
"Ah so my dear older brother does remember me." The mad said.
"You're on no relation to me. Professor Dumbledore what is going on?" Snape asked in his usual cold tone.
"Well Severus it seems your step-brother here attacked our young Harry." Dumbledore said.
"He's of no relation to me!" Snape snapped angrily.
"Of course. We'll this young man here along with Peter Pettigrew and several other death eaters attacked Anna, Sirius, and Remus along with our young Harry, Hermione, and Ron." Dumbledore said.
"And exactly what does that have to do with me headmaster?" Snape asked.
"Oh for get it. You're just as bad as that fat rat Peter!" Anna said angrily.
"Just let us take care of this Dumbledore! We have the right to." Sirius said very angrily.
"No! We'll let the minister of Magic take care of this." Dumbledore said calmly then took his seat behind his desk. "Need I remind you this is a school not a public execution place." He said.
"Oh please the Ministry is as bad as last war. Corrupt. The Ministry couldn't handle thing's like this last time, they can't do it now!" Anna said angrily wanting to just beat the life out of Peter.
"Uhm…Professor's…." a young mans voice asked form the door.
"Yes Harry?" Remus asked as he looked over at the door.
"Come on Dumbledore just let us take care of that fat traitor!" Sirius said not paying any attention to Harry.
"Oh just let him try to handle it to make his shut up Headmaster." Snape said then smiled over to Anna.
'Why me? Ew!' Anna thought when she saw Snape smiling at her.
"Sirius calm down. I don't want you to go back to Azkaban because of that thing." Harry said as he ran up in front of Sirius.
"But Harry…" Sirius started.
"For you Harry we'll do nothing." Anna said sweetly. "But we are doing ti for Harry not your sorry traitoring ass Peter!" she said so angrily that she scared Harry slightly.
"The Brat said he 'idn't (didn't) want Paddy to do anything." Peter said resentfully.
"That's IT!!" Anna said and pulled out her wand.
"Anna No!" Remus said grabbing her from behind and pointing her wand to the floor.
"Go a head!" Peter said tauntingly.
"Anna calm down." Sirius said even thought his wand was also pointed at Peter.
"Sirius put you wand away please." Harry said putting his hands on Sirius wand hand.
"Just let us kill him and get it out of our misery!" Anna said, trying to get Remus to let go of her.
"Not just information on James, Lily, and Harry, but James' parents too. Killed the same way while we were at school weren't they." Peter said and started to laugh.
"James' parents! You traitor…you were never our friend just a spy for Voldemort." Anna said and fought against Remus to get to Peter but couldn't get free of him. "Every thing was all your fault you traitor! I hate you!!" Anna said and stopped fighting Remus; she nearly collapsed when Remus turned her around and started hugging her as she cried on his shoulder.
"That's right I hated hanging around with you three idiots." Peter said spitefully.
"Head master do you need them talking anymore?" Snape asked as he held his wand in his hand and looked at Anna sadly but still yet glared at Remus.
"No I have already questioned them." Dumbledore said as he looked over at Anna sympathetically. "Remus I believe Anna has been through enough. Please take care of her." He said then motioned for the door.
"Come on Anna." Remus said and started to lead her towards the door.
"Sirius I believe you should take care of your godson." Dumbledore said then looked at the now unconscious prisoners.
"Thank you Severus. Now if you will put our prisoners some where I shall contact the Minister of Magic." Dumbledore said as he stood up form be hind his desk.
"Come on Harry down to the hospital wing we go." Sirius said.
"Professor McGonagall if you would help Professor Snape please." Dumbledore said and motioned to Snape.
"Yes sir." McGonagall said and the two left with the two prisoners.
The Next Morning!
"Oy 'Arry! Wonder 'were Snape is?" Ron said as he stuffed a piece of toast in his mouth.
"I don't' know it's not like him to miss breakfast but I'll see him soon enough. First class of the day…I wish I had DADA first. But no that third." Harry complained.
"Yeah but Anna look's sad kind of." Hermione said and pointed to Anna sitting between Sirius and Remus at the teacher's table.
"Yeah but you should have heard Peter last night…" Harry said but stopped in his sentence he didn't want those things to repeat in his head but they were now.
'Not just me mum and dad but dad's mum and dad. Peters a horrible person. I bet he sold out the Longbottoms too.' Harry thought but came out of his little nightmare by Hermione speaking.
"You all right 'Arry?" Hermione asked a little worried.
"Yeah I'm fine…" Harry lied he didn't like to worry his friends but they seemed to worry anyway.
"Well the teacher are going to class now so I guess we better go too." Ron said and they all split up to go to their different classes.
15 Minutes Into Potions!
Snape has yet to be seen or heard since last night after walking McGonagall back up stairs to her room. None of the teachers seemed to have noticed and none of the students seemed to care with exception of course of the Slytherin's.
"Oy Potter where's Professor Snape?" Malfoy asked.
"How would I know?" Harry snapped back as he sat in his seat, which Snape had assigned to him on the front row of the class to make sure Harry did his potions correctly. Snape never hesitated to take off points if not done correctly.
"Roomer has it you were the last person to see him and you're going to Azkaban for murder." Malfoy said.
"Dumbledore and McGonagall were the…no wait…Peter, not again! Damn him!" Harry said then jumped up and ran out of the class startling several students in the process.
Harry ran up from the Dungeons to the DADA Class and burst into the class panting kind of hard.
"Harry!!" Anna said startled by the door suddenly bursting open.
"Sirius, Remus, Anna! Snape's missing and if my guess is right so are Peter and Snape's step-brother!" Harry said.
"Sirius take over potions Class. Remus go tell Dumbledore what Harry just told up." Anna said taking charge of the situation quickly.
"Right Harry let's go!" Sirius said and walked out the door with Harry by his side.
"On my way mum!" Remus said jokingly.
"Oy Remus." Anna said.
"Yes Anna?" Remus questioned as he turned around to look at her.
"Thanks." Was all she said then smiled at him.
"Any time Anna, Anytime." Remus said and smiled back at her then left.
"You like him!" a fifth year Ravenclaw said because Anna had continued to watch the door even after it had closed.
"Do not!" Anna said defensively.
"Do too!" several Hufflepuff girls said and started giggling.
"Am I that readable?" Anna asked as she leaned back on her desk.
"Yeah but the good thing is so is he." Another Ravenclaw girl said.
"He is?" Anna asked slightly stunned by the comment.
"If we answer that can we go back to our lesson and get off this mushy stuff." A Ravenclaw boy said.
"No it's cure!" another Hufflepuff girl said.
"Remus likes me as a friend nothing more. He's never wanted anything more then friends." Anna said then stood up straight and picked up her DADA book trying to figure out where she left off at.
"Yeah he likes you all right. But more then a friend." A girl said.
"You think so do you." Anna said.
"I know so." The girl said and the class ended. All the guy's in the class cheered and ran out of the class while most of the girls stayed behind to talk with Anna about Remus.
Ten Minutes Later!
The class room door opened and there stood a smiling form ear to ear Remus J. Lupin with Dumbledore standing behind him. Dumbledore was giving Anna a once in a lifetime look that he only gave to people being caught doing something they shouldn't have been doing. Like talking about love while teachers pass by.
'Oh no they heard…'Anna thought and turned a nice shade of Red.
"I believe it's time for your second class to start. Be on your way now." Anna said turning her back to Remus and Dumbledore then started looking on a shelf for something. The girls walked by Remus and then started giggling again.
"Classes have been canceled for the remainder of the week or until Severus is found. An immediate staff meeting is to be held now. All staff members including Remus." Dumbledore said then left.
"Oy Remus did you hear our conversation?" Anna asked when she turned to face him still slightly red from embarrassment.
"Yes I heard more then Dumbledore did being who I am." Remus said and smiled at her.
"Maybe we should go to the meeting." Anna said as she looked at the floor.
"Not yet! This may be an improper time but do you really like me?" Remus asked.
"You first!" Anna said and looked up at Remus who started to walk over to her.
"I have since we were in school together first years to be exact." Remus answered once he stopped in front of her. Then he leaned down to where he was inches from her. "Your turn." He whispered then kissed her softly on the lips so not to hear rejection.
"I think I more then like you Remus." she finally got out when he stopped kissing her.
"I've wanted to hear that for a long time Wings." Remus said and leaned down to where Anna could say something in his ear.
"I've wanted to say that for a long time Moony." Anna whispered then kissed him on the cheek.
"Anna I know we haven't dated or anything…but will you marry me?" Remus asked slightly stunning her. "I mean if you don't mind being married to a werewolf that no one will hire. I can't even buy a ring for you…what am I doing?" he asked as he stated having doubts about asking her to marry him.
"Yes Remus I will. You're just Remus to me. Werewolf or not. I still love you and always' will." Anna answered.
"About time he asked you that. Here catch Remus!" Sirius said from the door and threw a little black box at Remus.
"What's this?" Remus asked and opened the little box up to see it was an engagement ring.
"Bought it for you since you couldn't get a job before James and Lily died." Sirius said and smiled to his best friend.
"I can't Sirius. It's yours." Remus said and tried to hand the ring back to Sirius.
"I'll consider it an insult if you give that back to me. I'll never use it anyway." Sirius said and smiled at Remus.
"You sure Padfoot?" Remus asked.
"Yeah I'm sure. No doubts about it." Sirius said.
"Well a Professor Lupin is back at Hogwarts teaching DADA." Harry joked as Remus put the ring on Anna's hand.
"Come on we're the only staff members not present yet. Harry returns to Gryffindor tower and do not leave until one of us comes and gets you. Me, Remus, or Anna…only us three got it." Sirius said.
"You're wish is my command old godfather." Harry said and bowed to Sirius then ran like the dickens to get up the stairs before Sirius caught on to what he'd said.
"Old Godfather…I'm not that old am I?" Sirius asked in a very whiny tone.
"If you are so are we!" Anna said.
"You're not old you're beautiful." Remus said and wrapped his arms around her waist and she leaned back on him slightly.
Several Minutes Later!
"No! I know Snape didn't release them. I was with him besides it looks as if there was a struggle in his room and office." McGonagall said to counter something Flint had said.
"No 'nape (Snape) would never go back to 'u-Know-'ho (you-know-who!)" Hagrid said.
"I have to say Dumbledore, you know Snape and us don't get along at all but Snape would not go back to Voldemort." Anna said.
"Professor Snape and I hardly see eye to eye on several things, mainly the Marauders and Harry. But I tend to agree with you Anna. So since the three most capable people are right here you and the other two Marauders shall go look for him." Dumbledore said.
"Headmaster the guy hates us and we hate him can you think of no one better?" Sirius whined.
"No I can not. you five were the best at finding things out. As poor Remus can attest to. So this assignment is yours. Need I remind you we are on the same side." Dumbledore answered.
"Come on you two. We're part of the order, we're Marauders, and we're Aruros. Just look at tthis as another challenge." Anna said.
"I'll do it." Remus said.
"Do what is the question Moony?" Sirius said.
"Bad doggy!" Remus said.
"Come on Padfoot. It won't be the same with out you." Anna said.
"It won't be the same with or with out me! I'm not going to help that slim ball." Sirius said.
"I know it won't be the same. I'm just doing this cause we'll most likely see Peter again." Anna said in a evil tone.
"Not to mention we get to annoy Voldemort some more." Remus said in the same tone as Anna.
"All right I'm in!" Sirius said and jumped up. "Come on let's go tell Harry." He said and left the room.
"Come on Remus before he tells Harry too much!" Anna said grabbing his hand and left with him in search of Sirius.
Up In The Gryffindor Common Room!
"Harry I want you to stay with Ron and Hermione at all time got it." Sirius said.
"Yeah I got it but why Sirius?" Harry asked and then saw Anna and Remus come into the Gryffindor common
"Remus, Anna, and myself won't be here for a while so stay with your friends." Sirius said then messed up Harry's Hair.
"Come on Sirius. The quicker we get this done the sooner Quidditch can start back up." Anna said.
"Yes Ma'am miss Chaser." Sirius said and started to the portrait hole.
"Anna was on the team?" Harry asked.
"Oh yes! Remus and Sirius were the Beaters, James of course was the Seeker and me a chaser." Anna said and smiled.
"What about the other one?" Harry asked.
"Unfortunatly he was our keeper. Couldn't save a score if he died trying." Remus said.
"Come on I want to see Harry Beat that Slytherin Seeker again so bad. I want to see Gryffindor with the cup again this year." Sirius said and grabbed Remus' and Anna's arms and started dragging them out of the portrait hole.
