Artimis and Alexis meandered precariously to the Great hall. When they entered the entire room went silent and Alexis went to sit by Fred and George who oddly enough, hugged her and helped her sit. Artimis slowly walked to the Slytherin table, looking around it at the faces that were either glaring or wincing. She spotted Draco sitting quietly, amazingly, between Crabbe and Goyle and she walked over to him. Her spot was still empty so she sat and proceeded to shrug when Alexis looked at her. Both girls were famished and in no mood to be gawked at so they began to eat as Professor Snape- who looked he had taken a shower- and Professor Lupin walked in and went to sit at their table. Artimis looked at Draco who was sitting next him. "Are you alright?" She asked quietly. He looked at her like she had just shot him. "What?" He whispered back, his eyes wide in either fear or awe. Artimis looked at his reaction and sighed. "Are you all right, you person you?" she said snickering as Alexis poked Apollo. "Why are you asking? Aren't you like going to drag me by my hair and beat me senseless??" He asked. Now she looked appalled. "Um... No... did you do something that I should want to?" She asked putting down her fourth glass of pumpkin juice. "Uhh... I'm a Malfoy." "Duhhhhhhh. I already knew this." She said with laughter in her voice. Then she calmed her breathing and whispered in his ear, "You are not your father. I still like you and I may even love you. So shut up and let me freaking eat!" She promptly turned and attacked the pudding with a large serving spoon.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Alexis and Artimis were slowly trudging down the hallway, trying to make it to the Headmaster's office. But they realized that their bodies haven't been used in quite a while.
They actually made it to within sight of the phoenix statue and noticed Professors Snape and Lupin standing there, arms crossed, Snape glaring slightly.
The duo walked up and Artimis leaned heavily on Alexis, who stumbled backwards a few feet from her friend's added weight. Alexis looked up slowly at the professors and sighed, "Well? What did we do this time?"
"Carry me Alexis." Artimis groaned.
Alexis looked at her up and down, and said with forced humor," Like hell, YOU carry ME."
Artimis sighed and looked at the statue noticing the professors for the first time. "Hey look, fall over and they'll carry us." She whispered to Alexis.
"What if they don't, I don't wanna end up laying on the floor, I wouldn't mind but getting up sounds painful." Alexis said loudly, and Lupin and Snape looked at her oddly. Artimis grabbed Alexis's arm and hoisted it over her shoulders and they both half carried half walked each other over to the statue. Snape raised an eyebrow at them and Alexis stuck out her tongue at him. He glared and stormed in the room, Lupin following chuckling.
{What are we supposed to climb those stairs ourselves}
(Yep. First one to the top gets my stash of chocolate frogs.)
{Bye} Artimis thought as her and Alexis took off racing up the stairs, as best as possible. At the top of the stairs Alexis pushed Artimis over but Artimis leapt over her and landed on the floor much to the amazement of everyone in the room. "Ahha I get chocolate frogs. I get Chocolate frogs." Artimis chanted getting up and doing the 'I won' dance until she realized that there were more people in the room than Dumbledore and the Professors. Alexis laughed and then went silent. "You guys hair all looks great!" Alexis quickly prattled off. Artimis was trying to maintain standing at that exact moment but fell over laughing. "Must we always embarrass ourselves?" She asked regaining the ability to speak and got up quickly. Professor Snape looked furious.
Artimis looked around the room and gasp. "Um... Alexis ... GET UP NOW!" She stammered back up toward her to give her a hand. Alexis looked up and quickly obliged. In the room sitting next to Dumbledore's Desk was the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge.
{Dude, we are in deep.} Artimis said noticing McGonagall by the fire with Snape.
(Dude, where's my car?) Alexis asked mentally chuckling. Artimis smacked her quickly and turned to see her father raising an eyebrow at her. Dumbledore chuckled and gestured for them to sit. "Ladies, everyone here would like to SEE your version of the story. The pensive if you don't mind." Both girls sighed and leaned back in their chairs, they looked at each other and smiled, "Rock, Paper, Scissors, Shoot!" Artimis's hand went to rock and Alexis got paper. "Damn it. Two outta three?"
"NO! You lose." Alexis said smirking. Artimis frowned and leaned over the pensive drawing her memories from her mind and pouring them in the pensive. It was a long evening. By the time Alexis had gone with her memories only Fudge, Snape, Dumbledore, and Lupin were left in the room. Fudge nodded and spoke with Dumbledore quietly then used the floo out of the room.
Snape walked up to Dumbledore, who had sat back behind his desk and stated, " I now know why and what happened that night more extensively but I have some questions."
"Continue Severus." Dumbledore said gesturing to a chair beside Alexis. Alexis looked at Artimis and Artimis winked at her and smirked. Alexis glared and looked back to Dumbledore. "How was it that Artimis could pass through the force wall when we could not?" Professor Snape asked, looking across at Artimis -who had lowered her head.
"Well, I believe that it has to do with the nicely healing burns on Ms. Callabella arms. I believe that they are a link to Ms. Whyte. The shield was made so only Ms. Whyte could enter. "
"But Ms. Callabella is not Ms. Whyte, nor kin of any kind." Snape said quickly.
"No Severus, but they share a mind link. Don't you remember when we came to get them the night after you said you saw her flare up? Artimis stood and her arms went ablaze, then the mind link commenced. I think the fire bonded them." Lupin said smiling at Alexis who looked ashamed. "Ah I believe you have come across the answer, Remus." Dumbledore smiled and handed Artimis a lemon drop.
"Now, that that is settled. How is it that Artimis Callabella, who I saw with my own eyes die from the killing curse, Be alive and sitting right here with us." 'We have the answer to that. Alexis if you please?" Artimis said lowly yet upbeat and Alexis gave a short bow. {We have issues and I don't think they will believe us.} Artimis sighed mentally.
( Who cares if they do. Your still alive and that's all that matters) Alexis replied internally as she drew a breath.
"Well, when I was forced to perform the Crutacius curse on Artimis, I fought like hell. I wasn't about to let that bastard allow me to hurt my friend. I guess it made that bond we had stronger. I found I could get into Artimis's mind. I knew she wouldn't be able to hold on too long, so I found her, essence thingie -I guess- and pulled her into my own head."
"Like Diana was in Artimis's head." Lupin spoke softly, contemplating Alexis's words.
Alexis nodded and continued, "Anyway, I guess all that left was Diana in Artimis's body. Then Lucius showed up."
Artimis grimaced in hatred at the name, digging her nails into the arms of the chair, while Alexis barely held in hers.
"And he, he ki, killed Artimis, er... or her body... or, or something like that. But Artimis was still in my head. So, I just, pushed her back into her body, making it look like she had arisen from the dead. But the curse did kill Diana. I couldn't save her too." Alexis finished, looking at the ground.
"Like I told you. She knew. She knew what was going on. She could have left..." Artimis mumbled holding back the tears that she could get rid of .Artimis mumbled quietly, her words dipping in and out of sound, "...Bastard.. Took her.... twice....will pay..." Professor Snape looked at her with astonishment, and then his gaze of wonder was turned to Alexis. Then almost as if he realized he had done it, a blank mask of cold covered his face. "Ah. I see. Very well that's all I have to ask. You girls may go to bed." He said, looking to Dumbledore who nodded.
"BED!! We just got done with a weeklong nap. We are good on the whole sleep thing." Alexis stated shakily.
Artimis nodded and stated, "We'll go play cards of something, somewhere."
"If you mean by somewhere as your classroom, it is in use. Flitwick needs it tomorrow for an experiment." Snape stated coldly.
{Bugger.} Artimis placed her hands in her head.
(Double bugger) Alexis replied pondering on where they could hang out.
{Toil and trugger}
(You ass!) Alexis stated smack Artimis in the back of the head. Snape looked at her oddly and asked "Why, or do I want to know?" "Girls, you may use my class, no messing it up to badly. Any mess you make you have to clean. Deal?" Lupin interjected, preventing what the figured to be more outraged Snape. "Deal!" They stated in unison, Artimis rubbing her head where Alexis smacked her. They both got up and Lupin let them of ahead of him. Snape and him exchanged glances and Lupin led the girls to his class.
-----------------------------------------------
Fred and George stood in the middle of a crowd in the abandoned classroom. Artimis and Alexis sat next to Vicky Adkins and Erica Barton, The Gryffindor team. Both teams wished each other luck as Fred and George went into the speech about who the winning team was and what was expected of them in the next year.
"After much discussion..." (Fred)
"We have finally come upon a decision." (George)
"Though we had trouble over the issue...'' (Fred)
"...If we would have to separate them or not." (George)
"But we are glad we didn't..." (Fred)
"...For they have made this a memorable year for all of us..." (George)
"Sometimes though, we had to greatly consider some of their actions..." (Fred)
"Just get on with it!" yelled a Ravenclaw named Katrina Palmer, or Danielle Palmer, they were also twins and sometimes it was difficult to tell them apart also. Several snickers were heard around the circle. The Weasley Twins gave her an indignant glare, and she looked away.
'So, without further ado..." (George)
"We give to you..." (Fred)
"The scores for your group." (George)
"In fourth place with 369 points..." (Fred)
"Quite a high number..." (George)
"More than we expected from several of you..." spoke Fred, while several people rolled their eyes at their rambling. Fred stopped himself and allowed George to continue.
"The Ravenclaw Team. Nice Job." There was applause for their good efforts, but the Palmer twins were a bit disappointed. Danielle and Katrina looked upset so Artimis gave a loud "Woo Hoo Go girls!"
"Now for third place..." (Fred)
"Another shocker with 378 points..." (George)
"Never would have guessed it in the beginning…" (Fred)
"True, they surprised us all..." (George)
"Indeed..." (Fred)
"The Hufflepuff Team..."(George)
More applause went through the room and Madison Brandon and Timothy Watson looked thrilled and surprised. Alexis smiled and yelled, "Go Mad-dog!" Artimis laughed at Alexis's nickname for Madison. The noise died down and Fred began again."Now the next two teams were only separated by seventeen points..."
"We were impressed by all four of these people..." (George)
"In second place..." (Fred)
"With 425 points..." (George)
"The Gryffindor Team..." (Fred)
Vicky and Erica stood up and Erica yelled, "Yeah, You best be recognizing!" Artimis and Alexis patted them on the back. The noise died down once again.
"Now there is only one team left..." (George)
"They did some bloody brilliant pranks this year..." (Fred)
"Let's get on with it..." (George)
"So we present the winners, with 437 points..." (Fred and George)
"The Misfit Team! Artimis And Alexis!" (Fred)
The room went so loud no one could hear anything. Artimis was hugging Alexis and Erica and Vicky were hugging them. There was applause and much patting on the back. After ten minutes of joyous noise, everyone sat back down and Fred spoke, "Artimis and Alexis get to pick the final team prank. Any ideas guys?" Artimis and Alexis looked at each other playfulness filling their eyes. Artimis spoke first, "It's sort of a mixed up version of one we already did."
"We are going to all pick one teacher and for the end-of-year feast we will dress like them and act like them." Alexis said her voice carrying that tone of mischief everyone knew.
"I pick Snape, and I'm sure Alexis has Lupin." Artimis said gesturing to her.
"Yes, I want to be a Lupin for day." She smiled. Artimis looked at the other groups we were thinking deeply. She caught the look from Erica as Erica said, "You can't have Snape all the time!"
"Neither can you!" Artimis replied, laughing friendly, putting her hands on her hips.
"Ohh, alright... I'll be Flitwick. I can walk around on my knees cause he so short!" Erica said smirking at the thought. Vicky smacked her and replied, "If no one objects then I've got McGonagall." Artimis nodded and grabbed her notebook and began scribbling down notes in invisible ink. Alexis looked at Danielle and Katrina and they smiled innocently. "Danielle, I'll take Madame Hooch." Katrina stated. Artimis grunted a reply as she wrote. Danielle looked about and rolled her eyes, then after a moment her eyes lit up. "I'll be Trelawny! It will rock!" Finally Alexis looked at the Hufflepuff team; Timothy looked around and breathed in deeply. "I will be Hagrid..." He winced, expecting laughter, but everyone nodded swiftly and looked at Madison who had her hand on her chin. Madison sat there in silence then spoke out quickly, "Sprout!" Everyone applauded and remarked on how she would be a great Sprout. "Fred, George are you going to?" Artimis asked finally looking up from her notes. They looked to each other and smiled.
"No... Don't think so..." (Fred)
"We have a idea to tweak this..." (George)
"We'll get Hermione to help us set up..." (Fred)
"An identical teachers table..." (George)
"Across the Great Hall..." (Fred)
"Do you guys have a mind link?" (Artimis)
"Maybe..." (Fred)
"Maybe Not..." (George)
Artimis sighed and spoke the spell to hide her notes. Alexis smirked and looked around at everyone. "Ok, We will all meet here right before the feast, on Friday. Come in costume." Alexis stated. Everyone nodded and got up preparing to leave. They left by team and quickly ran in opposite directions. The only ones left were Alexis and Artimis.
{I sure hope we don't start talking like the twins}
(Nahh.. you think too much!)
"Har Har!" Artimis sighed, cleaning up.
{We need to do something for Lupin and Snape}
(Two steps ahead of you. Got stuff on the way!) "Alright, see ya in the morning. Sleep well." Artimis said hugging Alexis. "Goodnight you buffoon!" Alexis replied. They left to gather supplies and prepare for the festiveness.
-----------------------------------------
Alexis and Artimis had agreed to change separately this time to surprise each other. Alexis walked down the corridor to the bathroom, going over the details of her upcoming transformation.
Once she made sure no one else was around Moaning Myrtle's bathroom, she quickly pulled out her supplies from where she hid them under a sink. She plopped herself down, conjured a huge mirror, and started.
First detail, her hair. Here we go again...
She examined it from several angles, then drew her wand and repeated the memorized spell, those this time a light brown washed over her head, then specking it lightly with a few grayish colored spots for detail. Satisfied with the color, she put a few globs of gel on her hands and ruffled it through her hair, making it look disheveled, yet soft.
She pulled over a set of long brown robes and held them up to herself. She frowned and looked around, smirking as she found the solution. She threw the robes on the ground under a nearby sink and rolled them around, dust and dirt clinging to the cloaks in several places. Satisfied, she quickly pulled out a few worn patches of cloth and put them on several select spots, making them automatically sown on with a written spell she read off.
She stood and stripped off her school cloaks and clothes, pulling on a pair of dark brown slacks and the worn cloaks over her. She twirled a bit in the mirror, admiring her work.
She nodded and picked up a small case. Inside were several sets of different colored contacts (she had lent Artimis her black ones). Gazing over them, she carefully extracted the beautiful amber-colored ones, and meticulously placed them in, blinking several times.
She sat cross-legged again and stared at her reflection, head in her hands, and conjuring up a mental picture of Professor Lupin in her head, going over details.
"Aha! I know..." she reached behind her and pulled over a good-sized makeup bag that she had borrowed from Artimis earlier. She used a small compact and covered her face, making herself look slightly pale. She also used some grayish eye shadow, carefully and lightly applying it on and slightly under her eyes, the effect making her look like she hadn't slept well in several nights. She applied a slightly darker blush from yet another compact on her facial features -such as her cheekbones and around her eyes- making it seem like her face was more gaunt then usually.
The last accessory was a pair of tattered dark brown hiking boots, She never really paid attention to Lupin's footwear, and so she thought that a pair of boots like these wouldn't be too bad.
Finished finally, she stood and admired the job. "This rocks! He'll freak!" she said to herself, wrinkling her robes a little more for effect.
She quickly got rid of the mirror along with the left over supplies. Grinning, she quickly exited the bathroom, several snickers coming from Moaning Myrtle.
----------------------------------
Artimis had selected the abandoned classroom to change in. She quickly grabbed her fuller pouch and dodged in the room. Standing in the middle of the room she conjured seven mirrors, forming a mirror wall around her self. She quickly set about cutting her hair once more, making sure it looked just like Snape's from behind. She then set about the eyes. Alexis had lent her the coal black contacts she had used before. Artimis quickly tipped her head back like Alexis had instructed and placed them over her own sapphire eyes. She looked in the mirror and was amazed. Wow... they look just like his eyes.... Creepy... She thought, making sure she had the mental wall that Dumbledore had taught her to do so Alexis could not hear her.
She quickly stripped of her own cloaks and pulled on her Snape imitation clothes. She buttoned the frock coat once again and sighed, "I wish I could wear these all the time, well, may not the frock coat." She said as she fought with the buttons. She straighten her collar and stood straight. She was tall for her age but not even tall as Snape. Her boots would fix that. She had had Hermione Granger put a height spell on them to give her the illusion of a couple more inches. She leaned down and buckled the boots quickly standing to admire her new height. She quickly pulled out a small piece of parchment and pointed her wand at her nose. "Densengeo Controllamus" She chanted as she made her own nose from out to the hooked shape of Snape's. Smiling at her unfinished masterpiece she quickly drew out her own make-up. She made her neck and face pale, adding a tinge of gray for the whole lack of sun look. She took a light gray lip liner and traced her own lips making her lips look dull and slightly flat. After putting her make-up away she made sure her hair was greasy like his. Pulling the cloaks over her shoulders she admired the fact that minus the feminine structure of her face she was his splitting image.
She heard noises out side of the mirrors and quickly replaced everything in her pouch, shrinking it down to pieces of square cloth. She stopped smiling and quickly put a sneer on her face. Drawing her wand once again she pointed it at her throat and whispered, "Vocallus Micuis Severus Snape" With a quick flick of her wand the mirrors were gone ad she was staring at Fred and George. "Weasley's, I do believe there is a feast you should be attending." He hissed lowly in Snape's voice.
"...Bloody hell!..." Fred said taking off out the door. George followed and Artimis fell over laughing. They stopped and looked at what they thought was Severus Snape having a seizure.
"Oh... My ... God... The looks on your face... To good..." She said through bursts of laughter. They looked at each other than her and asked, "Artimis?" Slowing her breathing , "Yeah, It's me. Am I that good?" She replied in Snape's melodramatic tones.
"You damn near made me piss my pants..." (Fred)
"... Bloody Brilliant...."(George)
".... Wow... Wait till he sees you..." (Fred)
"Talk about not knowing...."(George)
"who you were..."(Fred)
Artimis laughed and stood, Fred and George circling her like vultures, inspecting her details. She stood arms crossed glaring in the stance that they had always seen him in. Suddenly everyone else was in the room. Everyone but Alexis.
Erica was hard to see because she indeed was walking on her knees, but everyone heard her squeaking like Flitwick. She looked at Artimis and gasped, "You look like that sexy man, Severus Snape. Dude. That is fucking awesome." Then Vicky walked up, her face pulled into a stern look and dressed with that funny hat that McGonagall always wears. She smiled tightly and stated, "My, My, Artimis, I guess I shall be calling you Severus all evening."
"I guess so Minerva." Artimis replied with his voice. She jumped into the air. "How did you do that?"
"My dear Minerva, it's called Magic. I'm sure you of all people would know," Artimis snarled holding in her laughter for a moment the releasing it. "Sorry, getting into Character."
"Alright. Let's get this on." Katrina and Danielle stated. They looked like perfect copies of Hooch and Trelawny. Timothy had stilts on and was wearing giant clothing making him look like a skinny Hagrid. Everyone looked at him and he snapped his fingers his cloaks inflating to make him looked as wide as their favorite half-giant. Madison was wearing green and had dirt in her hair. Everyone was admiring each other as Alexis entered. She was a Perfect Lupin. Fred and George stood by the door and replied, "Teachers, follow us if you please." Alexis walked up to Artimis and stated, "Don't ask why I'm late just follow my lead." "Alright." She sneered, and Alexis shivered.
(Never going to get used to that voice coming from you)
{Me neither} Artimis replied as the group reached the Great Hall doors.
---------------------------------------
Alexis bolted out of the bathrooms, hurrying down the hallway so as not to be late. She ran and skidded around a corner, oblivious to what would be around it.
She slammed into something very tall, very solid and very human. The two people fell to the ground, Alexis sprawled atop him. She groaned and gazed dizzily up into the face of Professor Lupin. He stared at her with a look of pure confusion. He slowly stood up, pulling Alexis up also, who looked like a deer caught in headlights. Lupin stood back a few steps and squinted at her, speaking quietly," I just ran into myself... hold on... that doesn't sound right..."
Alexis put her hand on her chin and scrutinized Lupin, walking circles around him as he watched her in confused amusement. She stopped and rubbed her chin, then her eyes widened. "I know what I forgot!"
Quickly she pulled out a stick of brown eyeliner and a compact mirror, quickly dotting her nose and cheeks with a few well-placed freckles. "There!" She put the stuff away, then looked up at him in the same exact smile he himself always wore. He looked her up and down and shook his head. Alexis mimicked him perfectly. He laughed and so did she.
"Wow, how'd you manage this? What're you and Artimis up to now?"
Alexis looked around discreetly, then pulled him aside, explaining the prank to him -making him promise not to say a word. He chuckled, then thought for a moment, then said quietly, "This is perfect. I ask of you one thing, do exactly everything I do. Who is playing Severus?"
"Artimis, of course. I think she has a thing for him..."
He laughed heartily and continued," That's great. She'll play along then... okay, get going, you're going to be late."
Alexis smiled and ran off, waving back at him as he watched his perfect mini-me run off.
----------------------------------
The group walked into the Great Hall and there were gasps coming from everywhere. Artimis looked, no sneered, at the High table and noticed that two or three teachers were staring at their counterparts. Artimis swiftly stalked over to the set directly across the hall from Snape and winked slightly at him. He looked at her with mild interest and she returned the look. He scowled, she scowled. This went on for a few minutes until Snape finally smiled at her and she returned it. Sitting down abruptly she looked about the Hall at the students. She sneered at Potter and smirked slightly at Draco. Alexis smiled like Lupin and sat next to her. She saw a wink go between Lupin and Alexis but ignored it with a huff. Erica was walking around on her knees squeaking to the Hufflepuff table. Katrina was talking with Timothy about Quidditch gesturing wildly like the real Hooch. Vicky sat at the table her lips pursed, glaring at Artimis. Artimis pulled her face to a sneer and questioned loudly, 'Problem, Minerva?" The real McGonagall looked from Severus to Artimis and almost fell over laughing. Vicky followed her lead. Timothy was laughing heartily like Hagrid and the real Hagrid was smiling. Danielle was over by Harry, "My child I see a Grim in your future. A most gruesome death. Poor boy." The real Trelawny looked affronted. Artimis sat back in her chair making sure she was scowling and watched everyone assert their stance on how they saw their teachers acting.
{You going to do something or do I have to be Snapey with out some Lupinness to annoy me}
(Waiting for my signal)
{Don't want to know} Artimis said as her gaze fell on to Remus who looked like he was contemplating world hunger.
-----------------------------------------
Alexis sat quietly, discreetly watching Lupin across the Hall, waiting for the Signal. Artimis merely glared in confusion at her and continued her act. Alexis smiled minutely, wondering what he was thinking of. I hope it annoys Artimis just as well... hehehehe...
Finally, after much patience, Lupin looked up at Alexis and smiled 'That Smile'. Alexis mimicked him perfectly.
The signal... here we go...
Casually, the real Lupin looked around at Snape, whom glared slightly at him -knowing something was about to occur.
Lupin picked up his fork, carefully scanned over Snape's plate as Snape watched in perplexity. Alexis also picked up her fork and examined Artimis's plate. Artimis coked her head and glanced quickly up at the real Snape, shrugging minutely and mimicking him.
Then, Lupin reached over and speared a choice piece of steak from the Potions Master's plate as Snape watched in utter amazement. Alexis chuckled and did the same thing.
Lupin examined the food, the popped in his mouth, suddenly looking up at Snape with innocence," Oh, I'm sorry. Were you going to eat that?"
Alexis spoke the same words in the same innocent voice loudly and the real Snape spun his head and glared at her also. The real McGonagall laughed and Vicky looked over at Alexis and Artimis and also chuckled. Artimis looked amazed of her own accord, Severus not to far behind as they both stared at the two Lupins in silent shock.
{Lupin has about three minutes of life left, better tell him you love him}
(Haha I don't think so this is only the beginning)
{And yes I was going to eat THAT!}
(I know that's why I took it) Alexis smirked as Lupin did to Snape. Snape pushed his plate away and folded his arms disgusted. Artimis looked lovingly to her plate and pushed it away sadly. She mimicked Snape as Lupin smiled and grabbed Snape's plate. In the shuffling Lupin dropped his fork so he simply picked up Snape's and began using it. Alexis copied and Snape and Artimis both looked ill.
Artimis looked at Alexis and made the 'blah' face, " That is far more disgusting than any potion I have ever had to make." She looked across the hall land to her surprise, Professor Snape mimicked her. Lupin looked up to Snape with a smile and said " I can top that." Since Snape had leaned forward Lupin simply moved his head and licked the side of Snape's face. Severus stood up and backed away knocking his chair over. Alexis licked Artimis's face and both her and Lupin made a 'blah' face. Artimis hollered in Snape's voice, "Dude, That was so gross! If you do that again your tongue will be permanently removed." She wiped her face, cringing, slightly and she saw Snape doing the same thing. Next thing everyone knew Snape was walking through the hall, between the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff table.
He did not see Erica sitting with the Hufflepuffs and as he stalked by she stood quickly and raised her hand up. She swung her hand and smacked his ass, the noise echoing through the silent hall, then dove under the table with a squeak as he froze mid-step. He looked as if someone had just shot him, he turned quickly and saw Erica hightailing it. Artimis turned pale as she saw Snape glower at her. Erica quickly ran past Artimis as she left the hall and smacked her ass as well. "For good measure, Callabella, I mean Severus!" She yelled as she dashed out of the hall. Severus turned around and walked back to his table, hands clenched and sat back down carefully, making sure few people noticed him wince from his now beaten bottom. Artimis tried to sit but could not, because Erica was stronger than she looked, and Artimis was holding back yelling profanities as she jumped out of her chair. Dinner went by with not much more going on seeing as Snape whispered something to Lupin and he dashed away. Alexis looked worried but Artimis stood behind her and stated, "Don't worry Remus is tough."
"What ever you say Severus, You're still talking like him." She said quietly.
(Everything is set up, let's slip out and let the guys do their job)
{Alright, here goes} Artimis said walking to the front of her own teacher's table. "Attention Mini Professors, there is a Code Snake alert in Room Misfit. Your assistance is required. Fred, George, Apollo, Lee please attend to this." She said gesturing to the table, talking highly with Snape's voice. All the wannabe teacher's dashed out, getting ready for the finale.
