DC Comics and Bad Tea: The Dark Knight Returns
Serious (cough) Trouble
"Minerva! Get out of there!" Snape said pounding violently on the door as the sound of food hitting water echoed in the room. Snape harrumphed and gave up and let Minerva regurgitate whatever was left of her dinner. Snape paced around trying to ignore the rather unusual setting around him, he found that the color pink was most disgusting and it was starting to give him a headache. Five minutes later Minerva stepped out of the bathroom trying to keep her face composed.
"We can't stay here very long, it's what six...seven?" She said carefully sitting down upon a velvet cushion on the floor. Minerva was very tired and she was trying really hard to keep herself from dosing off. Severus made a fist with his hand and let out a very uncharacteristic like sigh.
"We were very close, but we can make it in about an hour." He said quietly. Minerva shook her head in confusion.
"Why can't we just apparate over there?" She said taking out her wand. Snape's brow furrowed as he looked at her.
"We can't, because Deatheater's HQ is completely charmed with anti-apparition spells for protection and such, inconvenient yes, but useful." Minerva let out a loud sigh.
"Listen it looks like it stopped raining, lets try and go back to the car...we can't pay Remus, however."
"Who cares he deserves it." Snape said with his upper lip curling.
"We can't just..." Minerva took another look at the room and shivered, "Whatever we can pay him back later, lets just get out of here before I throw up again."
" Agreed." Snape said, getting up to leave taking along with him some mints and the gift basket that came along with the room. Minerva looked at him rather disapprovingly.
"What?" He said all to innocently, "We'll pay him back later." he said with a mouth full of almonds. Minerva rolled her eyes and opened the door; it was completely dark on the outside. They both quietly crept out into the corridors. Minerva and Severus trailed after each other, feeling around to see where they were going. Minerva saw the stairs ahead of her.
"Severus over here." She said quietly directing him towards the stairs, as they began to descend the flight of stairs they ran into an old man. He raised his bushy eyebrows at the sight of all of them. Minerva and Severus looked at him with the same scrutinizing look. The old man shook his head and tossed the beer can away. He continued up the stairs mumbling something about crazy people and their weddings. Carefully avoiding Remus they went back outside, where the clouds were clearing up and the morning rays of the sun were curving over the sky. They began to walk, but then it suddenly dawned on them. Even if they went back to the car, it was still broken. They stopped dead in their tracks and looked at each other.
"We need another form of transportation." Minerva said looking around her surroundings. Snape looked around as well and soon spied a beautiful black motorcycle neatly parked by the sidewalk. The license plate read the words: Moony.
"What are you looking at?" Minerva said uneasy. Snape's upper lip curled into a malicious smile.
"Look, it belongs to Remus," Snape said pointing at the motorcycle. Minerva grimaced at Snape and shook her head, "No we can't," Minerva said eyeing the motorcycle, "but it isn't right!"
"Its an emergency, we'll pay him back later." He said trying to justify the action. Minerva's face twisted into an angry look, but it was an emergency. "Well, I can see if you're afraid." Snape said going over to the motorcycle, Minerva's face screwed up into determination.
"I'm driving!" She said angrily pushing him aside and mounting the bike. "Well, are you coming or not?" She snapped at him. Snape's eyes grew rather wide as he hesitantly mounted the motorbike.
"Hang on Batty, this is going to be one (bleep) of a bumpy ride!" Minerva said turning on the motorcycle and zooming down the street.
Hermione woke up, still wrapped in a mass of vines. Her vision was weak, but she was able to make out most shapes. She violently tore away at the vines and managed to stand up. As she stood up she realized that all of her companions were down and that Lucius along with Ivy and Penguin were gone. Hermione scanned the area as her vision got better, and noticed a hand sticking out of a mound of vines and small penguins. Hermione gasped and ran over to it. She tore way at the offending vines and saw Alanna's bruised face emerge; she was unconscious and terribly pale. Hermione lay her down on the floor and went to see the others. George was trying to get Fred back into consciousness, but Fred would not come to.
"George! Is everything all right?" Hermione said coming towards him. George nodded, but looked like he was going to collapse himself.
"Nutter got himself knocked out." He said with a wry smile, "By the way where did they go?"
"The incompetent fools probably left us for dead." Hermione said calmly, "Come on we have to go help the others." George nodded and they both began to revive their fallen friends.
Later that day...
Madame Pomfrey tended to the injured staff and students. Hermione and George watched helplessly as their classmates and teachers lay down upon beds in pain. Madame Pomfrey shook her head in grief and disappointment. Hermione looked over at George and held his eyes.
"George we have to go help Snape and McGonagall. There is nothing to do here any more." Hermione said as if it would be hard to persuade him. George snorted and said, "More time off school, sounds like fun." Hermione smiled. However there was one problem.
"Hermione, even if we do this, we have no way of knowing where Snape and McGonagall went?" George said sadly, Hermione's smile faded, as it was so. She sighed and put her head on her lap, waiting for perhaps a miracle.
I know the way...Hermione's face paled and her big brown eyes widened. "George did you hear that?" She asked him quietly, he turned to face her with the same frightful expression.
Hey kids it's me! Look behind you!Both Hermione and George turned their heads back slowly. Before them a luminous being floated in the space.
" Sirius!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The both yelled in unison.
Hey kids...Madame Pomfrey's head snapped forward to face them. "What is the problem here!?" She said looking at them with angry little eyes. "You two should both leave! You are in perfect health, you are only distracting my patients." George gulped and both Hermione and him stalked out, Sirius glided along with them.
"Sirius? Why are you here? Are you a ghost?" Hermione's eyes enlarged with want of answers. Sirius regarded her gently and smiled at her.
Hermione calm your self now you must listen to me. Snape and McGonagall are going to fall into a trap you must help them...
"Sure Sirius, we were planning to do that, but how?" George said looking at Sirius expecting him to pull out a marvelous plan from one of his transparent sleeves.
I can help you we must be quick before other atrocities occur...
Hermione looked at George and they both nodded their heads. They were ready to save the others even if it meant their lives.
"Lets get the crap out of here." Hermione said voice filled with courage but tainted with concern for what the future would bring all of them.
