The night of the long awaited ball had finally arrived. The ball had begun about two hours ago. Every student had attended the ball..all except for two. Those two boys were none other then Harry and Ron, whom were running late thanks to potions homework; leaving Hermione waiting impatiently at their meeting spot.

"Harry? Will you please hurry up?!" Ron begged while rushing down the stairs.

"I'm coming." Harry barked while shoving his invisabilitly cloak in his pocket.

"Hermione is going to kill us. You know that? Ugh... damn Snape. Honestly... who gives out five hours of homework... and on the night of the ball? Ron blabbered in a huff.

"I know." said Harry while agusting his tie and trying not to choke himself in the process.

"I mean what an ass! Honestly, If I only had one day to live I would go after him with a large kni-" Ron continued to babble until he was cut off by an unpleasant familiar voice.

"Why Mr. Wesley....what was that you were saying?" Snape's voice said coldly, sending chills up Ron and Harry's spines.

They froze as Snape rounded the corner. His icy eyes fixated on Ron.

"Well Wesley... I'm waiting." Snape said with a grin.

"Er... well I said I would come after you with a large nice... um basket of cheerios."

"Cheerios??" Harry muttered under his breath. Of all the random things to come up with...

"Cheerios?" Snape repeated unconvinced with a grin of pleasure. "Now tell me what are Cheerios? Nuclear bombs? Some Medival weapons of some sort?"

"Er- Actually it's a cereal." Harry said awkwardly.

"And it lowers your colesteral." Ron cherped in.

"Never mind. I don't care. Both of you follow me... now." Snape thundered.

Harry and Ron followed Snape around like puppies for the next twenty mintues while Snape searched the grounds for any other wandering victims. Snape finally gave up and dragged both of them to his office.

"Sit." Snape spat while clearing papers off his desk.

Harry and Ron sat reluctantly in the freezing chairs. They were so could both of them began to go numb.

"You will be spending the remainder of the ball in this room." Snape said with an evil joy.

"What?! You can't do that!" Harry yelled as he shot up from his chair.

Snape seemed to take great joy in pissing off Harry. He smiled and said quietly, "Now, now Potter- sit down."

Harry sighed and sat down. Both Harry and Ron sat angrily in silence; neither of them even wanting to look at Snape.

"Now I know this is terrible news for the both of you, but I must be off on some business." Snape said while getting up from his chair. He walked towards the door and slowly turned around.

"And Potter? If ether of you move from this class room, I will personally hunt you down and turn you over to Professor Mcgonall but not with out a years supply of detention of course. Snape said wickedly. "Oh and I will have Trelawney come check up on you when you least expect it." Snape turned around and glided out the door.

"I really don't like him.... Unbelievable" Ron said annoyed.

"Ingore him Ron." Harry replied while taking out the Marauder's Map.

"What are you-" Ron begun.

"Good, I was right." Harry said cutting him off and shoving the map back into his pocket.

"Wha-wait! Harry your not planning on leaving are you?!" Ron asked fearfully.

"You know, your sounding more and more like Hermione each day." Harry replied while pushing a glass globe onto the floor and watching it shatter.

"That? That was your brilliant plan?! To break everything in Snape's office?! Well if that's the case than let me help." Ron said briskly as he threw one of Snape's precious diamond test tubes out the window.

"Ron! What the hell are you doing??" Harry exclaimed.

"I'm helping you." Ron cherped.

Harry sighed. "Ron, I'm not breaking everything. I just broke this glass because the Marauders Map says that the globe's glass fragments will lead the way. See? Look."

Harry said pointing at the reflection in the glass. They showed a small glimmering drape. The only drape in the room was tiny and lay half hidden under potion's ingredients. "There." said Harry pushing all the ingredients to one side.

"Well- why didn't you tell me that?!" Ron demanded.

"Come on- we better get out of here before Snape or Trelawney find the mess. Harry said already halfway in the tiny crawl space.

"But... But." Ron sighed. It was useless. He gave up and followed Harry in the tight space.

"Ow. I can't bloody see a thing, Harry." Ron said as he crashed into a wall.

"Just follow my voice." Harry whispered.

"Easy for you to say." Ron said while crashing into another wall.

"Ron! Be quiet someone will hear you." Harry said hoarsly.

"Hmph-" Ron huffed.

The crawl space was tight and seemed to go on forever. Each twist and turn seemed the same. Finally, Harry came to a small door. After a few mintutes of figeting with the lock, the door finally popped open.

Harry froze.

"Well...what is it?" Ron said trying to see over Harry.

"Er..Ron? Mabye we should go back." Harry said with a glup.

"Oh please be butterflies...please be butterflies." Ron begged still unable to see.
