Why Would I Need Wings?

Chapter 4

"…How could you, you disgust me no wonder I was sent here to do this!!" Lyda nagged him a finger pointed straight at him. Snape had his ears plugged.

" Would you please stop nagging at me you sound like my—

" Mother! I should hope so you little…what's that word you brits use? GIT!" Lyda said gliding over to a cup and chucking at him. Snape caught it in midair and rose up taking out his wand.

" You know for an angel you are a real bitc—"

" Don't even go there! I have already exlained that to you!!It is just an expression you humans have given us, so we use it to our advantage. I am no saint, no one lights a candle under me. If you'd like I could tell you the truth, but the truth hurts. I am part of something big, bigger than you or me or anyone, it is more powerful than your governments." Lyda said breathing and catching her breath once and a while, Snape remained silent as she kept yelling at him.

" You want to know what my purpose is? You are a grown up so I will attempt to shove this through your thick skull!" She said poking his forehead, " I am here to protect those who have a great purpose in this world and in others, kings, inventors, generals, all protected and nurtured in their childhood, I am used to taking care of children not grown men who need wives and a social life! However, I was sent her to teach you a lesson."

" Because?" Snape said somewhat confused. Lyda's eyes narrowed and she began to pace around the room.

" Listen I am not allowed to give you the specifics, but something great and terrible, as cliché as that sounds will happen! You Severus Snape have a big part in all of it! Yes, don't look surprised. Jeese, I hate repeating myself!!" She said shaking her head, causing her curls to quake and frizz up.

Snape looked frustrated he wanted nothing more but for her to leave, but there was no chance of that happening.

" Listen if you are talking about Voldemort, he's gone."

" That's what you think. Tell me, hasn't it been burning?"

" What?" Snape said subconsciously moving his hand over his arm. Lyda's eyebrow climbed up her forehead. Snape knew what she meant, but he had no idea she knew.

" I know about the mark, in these few hours I have come to learn most everything about you, most everything. I know it doesn't feel strong, but it is there." Lyda said in a pitiful voice.

" I don't know what you are talking about" Snape said angrily he hated it when people felt sorry for him it made him mad. " Lyda, I have things to do."

" Go on enjoy your pea soup, I have things to do also!"

Snape sighed in relief as she left through the door slamming it shut. I wonder if I could kill her and get away with it. Snape thought as he took in his lunch, he hadn't had much of a breakfast. As he was enjoying his food and also plotting out ways to kill Lyda, it was soon interrupted when several people came in through the door, it was none other than Lupin and his students. Great, just what I wanted he thought in aggravation. Snape got up and made his way through the door. He caught on his way out Neville's eyes and decided to screw with the child.

" Lupin, mind you will have trouble with Longbottom, he has the propensity of being incredibly how shall I say, dim, at times."

Lupin furrowed his eyebrows and smiled quaintly at both Snape and Neville.

" I wouldn't worry about that, Severus." Lupin said as Neville looking mortified hid himself within the crowd of students. With nothing else left to say Severus left the room.

" I heard everything!" Lyda said coming out of a corner.

" You! I thought you had something to do."

" Like what? You are really retarded. You just wait; you'll get what you deserve."

" You know what I am really getting sick of this crap! Teach me my lesson and be gone."

" You think its that easy? You have to be able to give of yourself. You need to be compassionate or at least somewhat nicer than you are now. It I going to take me a very long time from the looks of it and you are not helping."

Snape rolled his eyes not knowing what to do this woman or whatever it was, was giving him a headache.

" You know what—"

Snape was just about to say something when loud laughter erupted from the room he had just left. Faint cries of joy escaped the room. Words like Professor Snape in a dress could be heard along with whistling and jeering.

" What the bloody hell is going on in there?" Snape asked swiveling his head over to that direction.

" Justice." Lyda quipped at him.

" What do you mean?"

Lyda's sour expression turned into that of jubilee. " You know Severus, you look nice in dresses." And with that said she was gone. Severus stood there with his mouth open as he pondered about what she said.

Students began to file out of the room all of them tiring to keep a straight face as they went past him. You could here giggling and several of them shoving others to keep their mouths shut. Severus glared out at them all searching in their eyes for truth, but they were all to busy giggling at him and looking down at the ground.

Severus became impatient and left the scenario and went back to his quarters, where Lyda was sitting down redecorating things.

" What the bloody hell are you doing!!"

" Why is hell bloody?" Lyda said as she placed a small white doily on a black coffee table.

" What is this thing?" He said disgruntled as he picked up a small pink frilly doily from underneath a candle lamp.

" Hey if I am going to be living here with you it can at least look cheerful." Lyda said placing an embroidered frame on the wall, which read:

Home is where the heart is

" Take that down!" Snape said pulling down the frame, " Where did you get all these things?"

" None of your business put that back." She said snapping her fingers.

" No." Snape said defiantly.

" Oh, yes I think so." Lyda said as the frame immediately went back on the wall. Snape didn't know whether to throw a fit or throw her out his window. " I suspect you have found out what happened in that room."

" No."

" Well, you'll probably find out later tonight."

Snape felt sick to his stomach, he somehow didn't want to know what happened now.

" Please all this stuff is making me sick take it down!"

" No, not until you learn." Lyda said replacing the gothic looking candleholders with brass cylindrical ones.

Snape put his forehead on the door and was muttering things under his breath. Lyda on the other hand was happily humming to herself ignoring Snape.

" You know, you brought this upon yourself, you don't have to be such a grumpy, sarcastic, conniving, evil, dreadful—

" Stop talking or I think I am going to blow myself up."

" Don't or you are going to screw things up."

" You' re screwed up."

"No, just a little crazy is all." Lyda said replacing the dark curtains with white ones. " That's better!" She said clasping her hands together. " Listen, don't be down, it will all come down when you learn to be nice okay."

Severus came close to what looked like tears, but it had been such a long day already. It was only 2 o'clock.

Snape gasped and went into his room, locking his door. He plopped himself down on his bed and laid down looking up at the empty ceiling.

" Why me? What did I do, am I being a jerk to those kids." He was speaking to himself. " Why am I talking to myself, that's a sign of insanity. I am insane. This is all product of a deranged mind. Congratulation's Severus Snape you have gone insane. Give yourself a bloody pat on the back." Snape sighed sprawled on his bed.

" Severus can I come in?" Lyda asked politely.

" No, I am insane, therefore I am dangerous. I might kill you Lyda, so don't come in." Snape said monotonously. You could her Lyda sigh outside.

" Fine, dinner is at 7:00"

" Right." Snape said quietly as he began to twiddle his thumbs.

" Lyda!?" Snape yelled at her.

" What is it?" Lyda yelled back.

" What do crazy people do for fun?"

Snape has gone insane…temporarily…I have to get back to the swing of things with this story, like, Snape actually trying to act nice. Well I have two weeks…a lot can happen. Please review…I really need the encouragement! Much love to you all! And Merry Chrismahannukwanzzica!!
