Summary: The Professors voted for Snape to do something against his will. Shopping. He is made to shop for each and everyone of the Professors. So when one of them has something odd on the list, what will he do? And what do Harry, Ron, Hermione, and lingerie have to do with it? What is the outcome?
BB/N: Sad chappie, the one before this one…
Chapter Eleven: Bleak Wilderness
"I'M GOING TO PUNCH YOU IF YOU TOUCH ME!"
"YOU'RE GOING TO PUNCH A DEAD PERSON?" Ron asked, loudly.
Ron slowly poked her on the shoulder. She turned around and punched him in the stomach. Ron wasn't expecting that, and he flew backwards and it the wall, the wind getting knocked out of him. He slid down the wall.
Hermione stared at her fist. When she punched Malfoy, it was an awesome feeling. When she punched Ron…she felt her heart break in two. Tears were welling up in her eyes. "Ro-Ron!"
She kneeled down in front of him. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry!" She cried, feeling horrible.
Emily, Snape, and Harry watched Hermione as she hugged Ron and checked his stomach. They could almost see Ron's ears glow in the dark.
"I'm all right Hermione. I'm fine. I just wasn't expecting it." Ron said.
"But I punched you Ron! How could you say it was okay? I'm suffering great painful…something's'."
Emily interrupted Hermione's tirade. "Err…I think we should all go to bed."
-----
"Lets have a go with the snow…hey…I rhyme!" Ron exclamied.
All five of them went downstairs into the store. They looked out the door. Emily opened the door, really easily. "Err…was that supposed to happen?" She asked no one in particular. Almost at once, Harry, Ron, and Hermione touched the snow.
"What's that sound?" Snape asked.
Emily's eyes widened. "Avalanche!"
They stepped away from the door, as the rumbling got louder. The snow caved in, and there was a slight pathway, except it was really icy and wet. Snow also came into Emily's store. Everyone was in awe. It was still snowing really hard.
"I think we should wait…" Snape said.
Ron ran out into the snow. "If I wait any longer, the snow will build up again, and we'll be trapped…again!"
"He has a point, but he really does need to get inside. I mean… he doesn't have a cloak on." Emily stated.
"I'll go get our cloaks!" Hermione said, making her way to a closet in Emily's room.
"I'll go get Penny. She could do something…bad when were not around." Harry said, while following Hermione up the steps.
Emily and Snape watched as Ron came back into the store. "It's cold out there."
"Of course! Hermione is getting our cloaks…maybe she'll put on socks too." Emily said.
"I heard that! And yes, I have on neon green socks." Hermione said, coming down the steps with an armload of cloaks and Harry with Penny.
They put on their cloaks, and Hermione handed Snape a sock. Snape put Penny inside the sock, and then he gently put her inside his cloak.
"Ron, get your cloak on." Hermione instructed. Ron put his cloak on, and buttoned it up. They, as in Harry, Ron, Hermione, Snape, and Emily, took one last look at the shop before stepping out into the bleak wilderness. (AKA Back to Hogwarts)
-----
"Dean a little to the left…a bit more…there you go. Perfect." Lavender said.
Dean climbed off of the Muggle ladder and back onto the ground. It was a banner of Harry, Ron, Hermione, Snape, and Emily. Madame Rosmerta gave Dean a description of Emily.
"Nice drawing of Ron, Dean." Pavarti whispered.
"Of everyone…" Padma said.
They stood in front of the Entrance Hall a few more moments, before going into the Great Hall, where the funeral was supposed to be held. Already, people who didn't go to Hogwarts, started to flood into the Great Hall. The Ministry of Magic officials, everyone. It was in the Daily Prophet that the Funeral was going to be held at Hogwarts at 7:00p.m. It was only 6:45p.m.
Luna was softly playing Christmas music on her organ…that Dumbledore conjured up. Surprisingly she took organ lessons five years before coming to Hogwarts, and during breaks. Everyone was wearing black. Even Dumbledore, which was kind of odd.
"Everyone settle down…we're starting a bit early." Dumbledore announced.
-----
"POINT ME!" Hermione shouted.
They had lost their way, because the snow got so bad.
"It's BLOODY COLD OUT HERE!" Ron shouted.
"KEEP UP GRANGER!" Snape yelled
"MERLIN! WHERE'S HERMIONE!" Harry yelled.
They all stopped moving. They looked around, and all they saw was white.
"I thought she was pointing." Emily said.
Without a slight bit of hesitation, Ron turned around and went back. He could see haphazard footprints. "I'll find her! Stay here, so I can see where you are!"
"Mew! MEW!"
Snape patted his breast pocket that was inside his cloak. "There, there Penny." He whispered. He knew she had to be cold.
Ron looked around wildly. He knew they had just climbed up the icy hill, and he was afraid that she may have fallen. "HERMIONE! MIONE!"
"Over, ova-over he-here Ro-Ron-n" He heard someone haphazardly shout. He looked to his right, and saw wet…bushy hair. He sprinted to it, nearly sliding down the hill in the process.
"Mione! Mione! Get up! You're not dead!" Ron cried out. He had to slightly unbury her. She clung onto him as he pulled her up.
They slowly climbed back up to where Snape and everyone else were. "Do you have her? Is she okay?" Harry immediately asked when he saw the silhouetted form of Ron coming nearer.
"I'm fine, so is she." Ron said. He had Hermione tightly in his arms. He was carrying her.
"What's wrong with Granger?" Snape asked, actually concerned.
"She messed up her ankle leg thingy and she's cold." Ron stated.
"Well lets get going. The quicker we get there, the quicker we can get her to the hospital wing." Snape said.
"My chest is hurting again." Harry murmured.
-----
"What…were dead." Harry said in awe. They were looking at the beautifully drawn banner that was in the Entrance Hall.
"I bet Dean drew that." Hermione said.
'My nose isn't that big…' Snape thought. He pulled out Penny. She was shivering badly.
"Shh! I think I hear something…" Emily said.
All talking stopped, as they listened to Luna play the organ, but of course they didn't know it was she. They all walked towards the Great Hall doors. They were propped open.
"It's an organ…it's probably our funeral…" Ron said.
"And I never got to apologize to my younger brother, Ron. I am sorry for being the biggest git in the world for the past…ever. I am truly sorry."
Percy stepped away from the podium, tears in his eyes. A large black dog and Remus Lupin stepped towards the podium.
"This is for the five missing persons. Hermione Granger was the smartest witch of her time. If you asked her any question, she would be able to answer it right off the bat. No problems. Ronald Weasley--" There was a loud wail from Mrs. Weasley. "Ronald Weasley was the best chess player. He was a gentle man, having been taught by his parents. You could put your life in his hands, and know that you…wouldn't die. Severus Snape. He was an odd fellow. He may not have been the nicest man in the world, but if you were to get sick, he would do anything to make you better, if Madame Promfry didn't have anything. Harry Potter. The boy who lived. I remember his first words were puppy-- there, there Padfoot.-- I remember his first words were puppy, and he was talking to Sirius and me. Months after that his parents were murdered by Lord Voldemort. Now, he was murdered by Voldemort."
"Hahaha you were murdered Harry!" Ron shouted turning to him, witha grin on his face.
Luna slammed her hands onto the organ. You know that sound…DUNNNNN
Everyone turned angrily and looked at Malfoy. "It wasn't me this time…honestly."
"RONALD WEASLEY!"
Everyone turned to the running Mrs. Weasley. She was running towards her son.
"IT'S HARRY! IT'S HARRY!" Ginny jumped from her chair, and ran towards Harry.
Mrs. Weasley was crushing Hermione and Ron. If you remembered correctly, Ron was carrying Hermione. So yeah…
Ginny jumped upon Harry, making him fall backwards. She jabbed him in the chest. "WHAT WAS THAT BLOODY LETTER FOR?" She shouted.
Harry was on the verge of tears. He could barely breath, and he saw stars. He thenpassed out.
"OH NO I KILLED HARRY!" Ginny cried.
Sirius changed behind the podium, and then he and Remus ran towards Harry. Rosmerta was crying as she ran to her sister. "Emily! I was so worried, and then you were dead!"
Professor McGonagall went to Snape, who was left alone, holding his kitten. "Your protected them Severus! You are such a nice man!" McGonagall cried.
"Don't hug me. I have a sick Penny."
McGonagall looked at the kitten. "Aww…Hagrid can take care of her."
Madame Promfrey marched into the Great Hall that had a lot of avidly talking people in it. "HOSPITAL WING! WEASLEY, GRANGER, POTTER, SEVERUS, AND…YOU!" She shouted, pointing to Emily.
Everyone stopped talking, as Harry, who was on amagical stretcher, Hermione, who was being carried by Ron, Ron, Snape, and Emily were all taken out of the Great Hall. McGonagall had Penny. She handed her to Hagrid, who was blowing his nose on a tablecloth-sized handkerchief. "Take care of her, will you?" She asked.
Penny was about the size of his palm. "I'll do me best Minerva."
"Well! Now that we're all cheered up, let's eat!" Dumbledore announced, clapping his hands together.
-----
Everyone got separate beds. Madame Promfrey gave them all a Pepper Up Potion. Harry and Hermione both had to take more potions than Ron, Emily, and Snape, because they're other injuries. "Potter, that bruise is going to be there for a long time. I suggest you don't talk. Granger, your ankle should be healed tomorrow, but you still need rest." Madame Promfrey stared sternly at them all before going to her office. As soon as she was in there, Dumbledore, Fred, George, Mrs. Weasley, Lupin, Fudge, Sirius, and McGonagall entered the room. Along with some Ministry reporters, and other various repoters.
"I'm not following Poppy's rules, but we need your story." Dumbledore said.
"Then we might as well get into a line." Snape said.
Emily hopped up and pulled Snape's bed out. "I get to sit on your bed."
There was a slight blush on Snape's face, but no one noticed. No one ever noticed Snape's embarrassment. Ron got out of bed and pushed Hermione's bed next to Snape's. "I get to sit by Mione!" Ron said, sitting next to her.
"What?"
"I'm sitting next to Mione." Ron said again.
"Oh!" Everyone chorused. They thought he said, "My Mione."
"I- I can't move." Harry whispered.
Sirius happily went behind Harry's bed and turned it around. Then he pushed it, with a hearty shove. Harry nearly screamed as he was rolled into the line. He stopped exactly next to Ron and Hermione. Sirius sat down on the edge of the bed and slapped his shoulder. Harry winced in pain. "That was fun Harry, wasn't it?"
Harry shook his head.
"Anyway," Dumbledore began. "We need your story, from start to finish."
"It went like this…" Hermione began.
