I'm Going Down
Chapter 2
TeTe read the dairy entry over and over again and still couldn't believe it. Severus is going to kill himself. She had to stop him. She through some cloths, some wizarding money, and some other select items into her duffel bag. She pocketed her wand and apperated into Hogsmeade with a small pop. She sprinted to the edge of town so no one could see her transform into her lioness form. She and Snape were unregistered Animagus. As a matter of fact their friends Malfoy and Riddle were unregistered animagus too. While she was a lioness, Riddle turned into a cobra, Malfoy a panther, and Severus was surprising an eagle. No one knew they were animagus except for each other. Their animal forms matched their personalities perfectly. Tete with her fiery temper and over protectiveness, Tom with his cold and conning ways, Luicus having grace and cool intelligence, and Severus with a fierce and free spirit that no one can dampen. Until now. Anger and outrage flashed through Tete's eyes as she sped up the pathway to Hogwarts. Once she reached the entrance to the school she transformed back into her human form. The last bits of her heighten senses smelt lots of blood by the lake. She ran over to the lake and found Severus passed out and dieing fast by the lake.
"No!!!" she screamed as she scoped the petite boy up in her arms and raced into the school to find the hospital wing. As she finally found and burst into the hospital wing the med-witch came bustling out.
"Oh my Merlin! Put him down on the bed quick!" screeched a shaken Madam Pomfery. She brandished her wand and set to work.
"Will he be ok?" crocked Antoinette.
"I don't know. I do my best," Poppy said with a determined look in her eye.
"Please save him!!! He is too young to die!" chocked out a hyperventilating Tete.
"Calm down dear. I am stabilizing him now," sighed a relieved Poppy when she injected a blood clotting and blood tissue-restoring potion into Severus' system.
"Oh thank you! You're the greatest!" sobbed Tete as she sat by Severus' bed.
"Well now dear. He will be needing his rest. Wait here while I floo Professor Dumbldore and you can talk to him about what happened," said the tired med-witch. As the med-witch went back to her office Tete smoothed back the inky black piece of hair from Sererus' sweaty brow. As she watched over him she brought their things inside. A couple of aiccos later she stuffed the last of the CDs in her bag when Professor Dumbledore came in. His wrinkled face was bunched up in worry as he looked down at the tiny and pale Slytherin boy.
"What happened?" asked the wise voice of the headmaster. As Antoinette looked at the Professor her anger flared to life again. Tete was livid now. Two degrees passed pissed and hopping mad. Without so much as a warning the slap heard all around the wizarding world sounded off loud and clear. Dumbledore numbly tasted the copper liquid coming the corner of his moth. He stared in total shock at the young woman who had enough cheek to slap the taste out his mouth.
"YOU SON OF A BITCH!! HOW DARE YOU SHOW YOUR FACE HERE! THIS IS PARTLY YOUR FAULT! YOU BIAS ASSHOLE. YOU HAD TO TURN A BLIND EYE TO YOUR PERIOUS GRYFFINDORS! THEY HAVE BEATED, TEASED AND RIDICULED MY COUSIN FOR THE LAST TIME!!!" roared an outraged Tete. Dumbledore tried to get his say in edge wise but Antoinette was not having that.
"I'm not finished with what I have to say you senile bastard. After my cousin recovers he will finish his 6th and 7th year here at Hogwarts with me around to make sure no more beatings and teasing don't happen. I'm willing to sacrifice a year and half of my education for my cousin because he is worth it. If those gryffindorks assault my cousin again there will be hell to pay. I would like for them to be expelled but I know that won't happen. Now, where will I stay and what do you have to say in you defense?" she sneered with distain at the Headmaster.
"I am dreadfully sorry for what happen to Severus and I know that I can't say anything in my defense because I am guilty of everything you have said. I am bias towards gryffindors and don't give everyone equal and unbiased attention," sighed the wary Dumbledore. Antoinette only mutely nodded and made a motion to continue.
"I will be setting you up in one of the staff suites in the dungeons. I was wondering since you'll be staying here for a long time if you can consider taking the position as the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher? Our last teacher walked out last week and we need a teacher so bad," murmured The Headmaster.
"Well, I'm only just a psychology major. I'm not qualified to take that position of authority," answered the young woman.
"Well, You can substitute for the rest of the year and next year we can find a qualified teacher and you can help out around the school so you can keep an eye on Severus. I'm sure you have an extensive experience with dark arts, defense, counter curses, unforgivable curses, and such?" asked a confident Dumbledore.
"Yes I have as a matter of fact. I'll take the position for now," drawled Tete with an air of arrogant pride.
"Good. Welcome to Hogwarts Miss. Goodewell. Dinner will be ready in two hours. Meet me down there so I can introduce you to the students and staff. I will have an house elf take your things to your room and move Mister Snape's things into your room so you can keep an closer eye on him," smiled the headmaster and shook hands with Tete. As Tete looked into the old man's eyes and shook his hand an instant calming feeling washed over her and she started to forgive the old man a little more for his mistakes.
"Alright, see you in two hours then," Tete drawled and went back to Severus' side. Dumbledore smiled and left the hospital wing. Tete smiled down on her small cousin and ran a tanned hand across his pale cheek.
"You heard that Sevvie? I'm the DADA teacher and I get to stay near you and watch over you like a guardian angel. If it's the last thing I do I make sure I give those lil piss heads that dared to lay a finger on your head will pay. I have officially declared hunting season on their Asses and will go postal on them if given the chance. And I will order all the strawberry pocky, sake, manga, and anime you want if it will mean getting your spirits out the gutter," murmured Tete to the unconscious boy. She had slipped behind Severus and hugged him close to her warm body. Unknown to them they were being watched by a young man with messy dark hair and hazel eyes hidden behind gold framed spectacles.
~ James' POV ~
I was walking down to the hospital wing to check if Severus was still there. He felt bad that he had be up Severus that bad but he had to keep up his façade so that Padfoot and Wormtail didn't suspect a thing. I don't know when I started liking Severus but I think it happened somewhere a year or two ago when I saved him from getting ripped to pieces by Moony in his werewolf form. He looked so vulnerable and innocent at the time. I wanted so bad to kiss him right then and there but I didn't. I was so shaken from that revelation at that time that I fucked anything in a skirt to make sure that I was not attracted to guys. No matter how good the lay was my thoughts still went back to Severus and how cute and feminine he is. From then on I obsessed over him. I didn't let him out site. I took every chance I got to tease and touch him even if it meant roughing him up a bit. I never meant to hurt him. I can't help it. I have to keep up my façade so I can keep my rep and popularity. Call me immature. But I am not ready to give it all up for him. I admit that I am greedy and want it all. I am possessive of Severus. I don't want anyone to be friend or date him. I was insanely jealous of Malfoy and Riddle's friendship with him. I was glad that graduated two years ago and I got him to myself again. As I came to the end of the hall where the hospital wing was at I about sneak in and take a peak at my angel when what I saw brought me to a halt. There was my Severus being cuddled by some strange woman. I shock with a silent rage. 'Who the hell is that harlot holding my angel? What relationship dose she have with him?' I thought as I spun on my heel to go back to Gryffindor tower. I had a lot of planning to do.
