November's End
"Shouldn' someone go and talk with Severus, 'uh?" Hagrid whispered to Dumbledore as Snape walked downstairs to his office.
"Better to leave him alone for a while Rubeus...being locked up in Azkaban for a week can make you think about a lot of things." Dumbledore shook his head, "He needs some fresh air anyways..."
"You call being in the Dungeons for hours, 'freshening?'" McGonagall snorted.
"If you're Snape, then yes," Dumbledore's eyes slightly brightened.
Lucius Malfoy came running down the hallway; carrying a cage in his right hand; "The things I do for Severus!" he yelled as he continued to run down the steps of the dungeon entrance to Snape's office. Snape heard a quick knock and then the door was pushed open with a kick from Lucius's boots.
"Lucius?" Snape raised an eyebrow at the pale professor who was holding a cage in his hand like it was covered in slime and was germ-ridden.
"This-" Lucius held the cage high in the air, "-Is yours...Take this foul creature back!" He trusted the cage into Snape's arms and slammed the door behind him with a small snort of discontent. "Bloody rat..." he complained.
"Lucius!" Snape yelled to him as the door was being slammed shut.
The door creaked back open, "What?" Malfoy sighed.
"This isn't my bat," Snape pointed to the sleeping bat in the cage. "Quinn was completely black...this one has a white tuff on its forehead."
"No it doesn't," Lucius said quickly. "You're just imaging things...Azkaban made you color blind...It's all black!"
Snape placed the cage on his desk, "You lost him didn't you?" he sighed unhappily.
"It wasn't my fault! It was all Medusa's fault, not mine! But you shouldn't blame it on her; she's the one who got your ass out of Azkaban in one piece." Lucius said in his defense; his voice got higher as he continued to lie; "So nyah!" He slammed the door behind himself once more.
Snape shook his head; he glanced over to the cage, the bat was finally awake; "You want to come out?" He opened the cage and the almost completely black bat hopped out and wobbled around his desk. Snape leaned back and closed his eyes, "Quinn can find his way home."
"He better, because I taught him everything he knows," growled a voice from behind him.
Snape flipped his chair around, "Hunter?" he squeaked, "But how...?"
Hunter smiled, "Make one long story short, it was pretty obvious that Umbridge never learned how to defend herself against vampires-let alone kill them. She missed my bloody heart by like-foot...so...here I am!" She made a big grin towards Snape, "I love it when mortals don't know which side of the chest the heart is located on."
"I take it that they do that very often?" Snape smiled back to her.
"Yes, sometimes..." Hunter laughed. "So, have you made the O.W.L.S. yet?" she walked over to him and started to read the papers on his desk.
"Has no one told you that you are very nosey sometimes?" Snape laughed as she continued to look through his papers.
"Not to my face...or to my nose yet...Oooo! You did start on them you sneaky person!" Hunter laughed. As she stood to the right of him searching through his parchments, she leaned over and kissed him, "My sneaky person of course."
"Yup," he grinned. "And my nosey person."
They heard some sniffling, "Oh! I love happy endin's!" Hagrid wiped a tear from his eye.
"Shut up you big, overgrown, hairy, banana!" Lucius hissed from behind the office door. Snape cleared his throat loudly to them, "Shit!" Lucius ducked away from the office door, "Abandon post!"
"Do you wanna go get some food? I'm starving," Hunter rubbed her stomach.
"Sure, maybe we can have Quinn stop by for another visit..." Snape grinned to her.
"I HEARD THAT!" Lucius yelped from the end of the hallway in the dungeons.
THE END!
Please tell me what you think of this! I probably got some facts wrong but hey-tell me what I did wrong and I'll try to fix it. Special thanks to Medusa aka Jess who spent two months reading this story for me and posting this story up on her Snape website for the longest time. Another thanks to IcyBeach who reviewed this story and gave me some helpful tips about making this story better! (You must check out her story )
This story will continue with Past Memories and Final Moments, Past Memories will explain a little bit of Hunter's past along with Snape's, and Final Moments will continue on from where I left off on this story...finishing Harry Potter's seventh year. (No worries...Snape is still the main and major character in this story!)
Thank you for reading this story and sending me reviews, I really appreciate it.
