Chapter 8"What happened to you?" Matt said, voice suppressed with laughter as Severus came into the common room. He was covered in curses and hexes and had his wand out trying to counter act them all. He was getting some, but some were refusing to go.
Severus glared at him spun on his heel, pocketed his wand and left again, Matt on his tail.
He swept through the lower levels of the castle, Matt keeping pace with him, in short time they reached the portrait of the fruit, Severus tickled the pear and it sung forwards.
"These are the kitchens," Severus said climbing through the entrance, as he pointed out the obvious smirking when he didn't get a reply he didn't blame Matt though the view was a suprise to say the least.
He was faced by house elves.
Lots of house elves.
"Bloody hell" Matt said, looking around.
"How can Dippy help sirs?" a squeaky voice asked them, Severus looked down and glared at the creature, she back away.
Severus made towards the head table, pulling the potion out of his pocket as he moved, the house elves moved out of his way as he glared at them. Slowly he added the potion to some of the plates and then turned, his eyes glancing over to the Gryffindor table.
He emptied the bottle about half way down the table, reaching back into his robes he pulled out another one and continued down the table.
"So is this why you changed our meet time from 3 to 6?" Matt asked, sitting on the Hufflepuff table, watching Severus work.
"No," Severus replied, walking towards the exit, "I wanted to think and I needed to make the extra bottle. Come on!"
He climbed back out the kitchen and they made their way up to the great hall.
The meal was interesting to say the least, the entire Gryffindor table was effected by the potion as was half the staff, the less then paranoid members of the staff, Severus noted as he frowned internally while he watched a couple of the staff check their food before eating it.
However, a glance down the table to Bellatrix who smiled and lifted her goblet to him proved that he had been successful and they were going to introduce him to the next level.
He smirked; all in all it hadn't been a bad day, though he could have done with out the 3 encounters with the golden duo.
