Hale glanced at his father's bowl of sweets, wondering what kind of sweets Deidra would like, as well as Luciana, if she refused his kiss.. Hale glanced twice more towards his dozing parents, and sighed as he reached to the new box of chocolate frogs his father had bought from Honeyduke's last week. Those would work, everyone liked Chocolate Frogs, espeically girls. Hale slunk over to his room quickly, not wanting to explain to his parents why he was taking his father's sweets over to his room. He didn't want his parents to know he was planning to kiss Luciana Weasley for her sixteenth birthday. The more he thought of it, the more it seemed proper. After all, Sixteen was a magical age, especially in the wizarding world, if you were born on the sixteenth.
Holly Snape glanced at Etienne Malfoy over at the Slytherin table. It seemed to him as if Samuel and Remy were giving him a hard time, his face seemed tinged with pink. She would absolutely hex Samuel if he made Remy interpet anything mortifying, since Remy had taken upon the role of Translator for Samuel when he was out of his classes, and without use of his Dicto-Quill. Shaking her head, Holly returned to her meal, half-heartedly listening to the Potter twins outline their day with her dad in Potions. Ares was saying something about bicorn, and Artemis was saying something about fluxweed, but what really stole Holly's attention was the mention of Erin Dumbledore in Potions class, the twins had heard from Luciana Weasley, who had heard it from her neice, Moira Weasley, who was in class with Erin Dumbledore and had witnessed the event of her father going ballistic on the sweet Dumbledore girl.
"Spitting everywhere.. it was so gross." Ares said with a guffaw as Emma Hagrid squeaked with disgust, wrinkling her button nose.
"I bet it was glorious." Hale said with a barking laugh as his eyes shifted over to Erin, studying her pale pink face. It was obvious she had been embarrassed over the event. "Erin, lighten up.. come on. Snape does that to everybody, even his own kids."
"Shut up, Hale!" Erin shouted, jumping up from her seat, her face red and tears filling her eyes as she flew from the Great Hall. Heads automatically swiveled towards the concerned Headmaster, who rose from his seat and followed Erin out of the Great hall to see what had taken place. Holly Snape slunk down in her seat, her face red at the fact that her father had the reputation of the Greasy Bat of the Dungeons.
Hale Dumbledore sighed, shaking his head at the lecture his mother was giving her, furious over his lack of support towards his sister's embarrassment at dinner. Hale nodded his head, his expressions neutral as he promised never to jab fun at his sister's expense again, and reminded his mother he had a previous engagement to attend. Minerva let her son go with a sigh and shake of her head. She was glad she hadn't adopted anyone younger or unruly, it would certainly be the death of her.
Rushing down the halls, clutching a box of chocolate frogs to his chest, Hale let out a long sigh as he saw the room of requirement ahead. As he entered, his eyes took in the sight of students milling around, the pile of gifts on a table, and the twins standing near each other in the center of the room. Luciana was looking great, Hale thought with a smile as he put down the box of chocolate frogs in Deidra's pile of gifts. Politely returning greetings from several classmates, he made a beeline towards Luciana.
"Lucy, could I have a word?" Hale asked, a faint blush on his cheeks. He was grateful that he had stole his sister's breath mints. He didn't want to repel Luciana with his gift. Luciana nodded gracefully, her eyes sparkling as she followed Hale to a quiet corner, away from Ares and Artemis Potter, those two were nasty blabbermouths. Luciana looked up at Hale with a small smile on her lips as she raised her eyebrow.
"Well, Hale? what's the word you wanted to have with me?"
"I.. I wanted to give you your present early. You see.. since it's your sweet sixteen, I thought.. I heard that um, muggles have this saying that goes.. 'Sweet sixteen, and never been kissed'.. and I thought.. um, I could remedy that. A gift of sorts?" Hale stuttered out, losing more of his eloquence under the curious eyes of Luciana. A slow smile revealed itself, much to Hale's relief. "So, Lucy.. will you accept a sweet sixteen kiss from me?" A long quiet pause followed, as Luciana glanced at Hale thoughtfully.
"Certainly." Luciana said with a smile. "If you keep calling me Lucy. I like that."
"Sure." Hale said with a laugh as he took a step closer to Lucicana, brushing his lips lightly over her lips in a light, sweet kiss. Lucy drew back, a glare directed at Hale.
"You call that a kiss?"
"What?" Hale said, dismayed at Luciana's lack of appreciation. Taken by surprise, Hale let out a squeak when Luciana kissed him squarely on the mouth. He could sense she tasted faintly of warm chocolatey lemon. Hale gasped when the kiss broke, blinking harshly. Lucy blushed and drew back, an impish smile on her lips as she darted away from the corner, joining her sister in shouts of delight over the ever-growing pile of presents, leaving a stunned Hale behind, a hand slowly tracing his own lips in surprise.
Harlequinn Malfoy spied Erin Dumbledore, crouched in one of the aisles of the library, avidly poring over a muggle studies text. Slinking to her side, he dropped to his knees, narrowing his eyes.
"I'm sorry if I did anything to make Snape mad at you. I heard that I was cause of all this."
"No.. it's all right." Erin said, going pale as she glanced at Harlequinn, watching his dark eyes study hers with intrest and relief.
"Oh.. all right. I heard on the grapevine that you got grief from Professor Snape today, because you botched a potion."
"Yeah, I did pull a Longbottom." Erin said with a weak chuckle. "It was my first mistake in quite some time. He was surprised, I think. I guess he just... overreacted."
"I think he does that, yeah. Ever since he was a dad..." Harlequinn trailed off, thinking of his own father, Draco. "I think he's happier now that he's married." Harlequinn said with a smile. Erin glanced at Harley, glad he had taken the news well. Sighing and leaning back against the bookshelf behind her, she smiled.
"Sorry about earlier.. I kind of freaked when Hale sarted teasing me.. he's been really annoying lately. I just couldn't handle it, and took off. Thanks, anyway. I already got a talk from Mum and another from Dad, and now.. you." Erin said with a soft smile as she looked up at Harley. "You're quite special." Erin whispered softly as she rose from her spot and stepped over Harley, leaving him kneeling in the library, staring after her, his mouth slightly agape.
Samuel glanced at Remy, the two boys hidden under the Invisibility Cloak that Samuel had borrowed from Ares Potter earlier, a glint in his eye.
"Ready?" Sameul signed slowly, his left hand moving slowly. Remy nodded, the two boys slowly making their way down the stairs from the third floor. They were on an Ultimate Mission, one to make the end of their first year memorable. It was a full moon, so Remy's daddy couldn't catch them, and his own daddy was busy with his mum. Samuel shivered, glancing at a door which was ajar. "This way, I think."
"Are you sure?"
"The map says so, see." Samuel's left hand moved quickly and awkardly, he wasn't used to signing with only one hand, and it was hard to lip-read Remy in the dark. It had taken three tries to lip-read Remy until he finally understood the statement.
"Okay, then." Remy whispered, glancing all over for Mrs. Norris. Smiling, the two boys slowly entered the library, and did a beeline towards the Restricted Section. They were to get a book, and leave it at the foot of Gryffindor Tower. He knew Holly would be extempt, she was sleeping down in the family dungeon, with Stephen and Alice. Samuel glanced at the lock, and squinted as he tried to take off the charm. On the fourth try, he managed to open the door and lower the wards.
"Here we go, just grab any book and go. I think I saw Mrs. Norris." Samuel signed quickly, nudging Remy towards a stack of books left out on a table. Remy nodded, picking up the one with the brightest-colored cover, guaranteed to attract attention. The two boys hurried out of the Restricted section, Samuel taking care to lower the wards and re-lock the door. A long hard trek later, both boys reached Gryffindor Tower. Luckily for them, the Fat lady was sleeping, and Ares was standing before them, waiting for the return of his cloak.
"Good job, Remy, Samuel." Ares said with a smile as he took his Invisibility cloak from Samuel's hands. "See you tomorrow..." Ares trailed off as Remy was turning, and tripped over the hem of the robe, the book flinging out of his hands. As the book hit the floor, the book drifted open, and the book let out a loud, blood-curdling shriek.
As a shriek peirced the air, the Dumbledores were jolted from a deep sleep. Quickly shrugging into a dressing gown, Albus rushed over to Gryffindor Tower, with Minerva trailing behind. He just prayed that it wasn't Hale or Erin, or any other student, in dire peril. Upon his arrival, he sighed and shook his head at the sight that befell him, of three boys trying to quiet a book from the restricted section. Alas, those charms he had put on the books did put themselves to good use. He just had to make the charms sound more like muggle police sirens instead of shrieks, he didn't think his poor heart could take it anymore, not after the downfall of Voldemort.
The Snapes snapped apart, both of them glancing upwards at the ceiling. Severus rushed upstairs towards where the screams were coming from, not caring that he was shirtless and barefooted, only concerned for his child's welfare. Hermione followed closely behind, struggling to clasp her shirt shut before anyone saw any of her ample endownments. Blushing furiously, both husband and wife arrived at the foot of Gryffindor Tower, finding the Dumbledores in dressing gowns, surrounded by several hundred students and staff members, all angry-looking and sleep-deprived, several small children in footed pyjamas, sleepily rubbing their eyes and several toddlers clutching to their parents.
"What's the meaning of this?" Severus snapped out, a deep scowl on his face at the revelation that it wasn't a dire emergency, his anger at being interrupted rising.
"Your boy and Remy, were in a partnership with Ares Potter to bring down the reputation of Gryffindor Tower." Albus said dryly, glancing at a silent Samuel Snape, a guilty-looking Remy Lupin, and an embarrassed Ares Potter. All three boys were shooed away by Albus Dumbledore, Lupin senior and the Snapes in tow, following Albus and the boys to his office, to dole out punishments, while Minerva shooed away everyone back to their respective beds.
"This is going to be a wonderful summer." Ares said with a sigh as he shook his head, dunking the sponge in the basket before him as he glared at Remy Lupin.
"At least you can stay with us, and you don't have to go to that stupid Quidditch thing with your parents." Remy said with a sigh as he glanced down from the ladder he was leaning upon, swatting at cobwebs. "Go see if Samuel's doing all right in the lavatory."
"Sure. It's all his fault, anyway, I'm just glad I don't have to clean all that gunk up." Ares said with a laugh as he got up from his hands and knees, heading to the boys' lavatory down the hall.
"All right, Sam?" Ares asked, his hands moving rapidly. "Heh, I think we had better take a break from our pranks, you think, maybe until seventh year?"
"I agree." Samuel signed as he leaned up from the grungy toilet before him. "I just wish we didn't have to clean the entire castle by hand all summer."
"At least it's something to do." Ares signed with a shrug. Samuel nodded, returning to his work, swearing he would never do anything so stupid and foolish again.........
