Once In A Lifetime

"Snakey?" Harry said when he read over his shoulder.

"It's her nickname on me. I'm a Slytherin and I always manages to sneak out."

"Why are you a Slytherin? From what I've heard you're a Gryffindor."

"I wished to be a Slytherin. I couldn't manage to be in the same house as your father, Sirius and Remus. I knew they would all be Gryffindors."

"You knew that they would, even if Remus was a werewolf? That complicate things a bit, doesn't it?"

"Well, no one of us knew about Remus little extra wolf friend by the time. It just made sense he would en up in Gryffindor even if he is smart."

"Why did you choose Slytherin? Why not Ravenclaw?"

"I was rebellious and besides, the NEW me was a Slytherin."

"And Lucius?" Harry asked when he leaned against the wall.

"Followed my track of course."

Severus dragged Harry to a painting of a heart. It had eyes, a nose and a mouth.

"Hello Severus. Back again, are we?" the painting said amused.

"Could you just let us out?" Severus grunted.

"If you give me the password."

"Dreadful sickness."

"See you Severus."

The painting swung open. It revaled a little hole. It was only big enough for a fist.

"Um, Severus. How are we supposed to get throe?"

"Just pull your hand inside.

Harry did. He got dragged inside the hole. A howling wind pulled him down the tunnel.
