Chapter 6

Snape walked towards Dumbledore's office, shaking with anger. He ran up the winding staircase and came to the door. Snape burst into the room, causing Dumbledore to look up.

"That girl is a menace!" Snape screamed. "Pyro took a jar of precious dragon's blood. She made me chase her round the classroom. She still has it. She grabbed it before she left." Snape paused for breath. "And her sister is no better! Aqua had the gall to laugh at me. I tried to discipline her, but Pyro threatened my life!" Snape was breathing hard. Dumbledore waited a few minutes to make sure that Snape had finished.

"Severus, we need those girls. They are very strong and immune to magic. If they are allied with Voldemort, we will not stand a chance. We need to keep them here."

"But Headmaster, those girls..."

"Those girls will help us win the war against Voldemort. Now if you will please leave, I have something very important to do."

"Yes, Headmaster." Snape left the room, frowning.

"Pyro, why did you threaten Professor Snape?" Hermione asked on the way to the Great Hall.

"He disrespected Aqua. Nobody disrespects my sister."

"But you didn't have to threaten him." Aqua said next to her. "Pyro, I kind of like him."

Everybody gaped at her. Aqua shifted nervously.

"Aqua, why in seven hells would you like him! He's a slimy, evil, ugly, creep!" Pyro asked, confused.

"I don't know. There's just something about him that I like. Will you guys please stop staring at me!"

"Sorry, Aqua. It's just, not many people like Snape." Harry said. "He hates everybody except the people in his house."

"Look, I don't know why I like him. Besides, he can't be nearly as bad as he seems to be."

"Sis, you're crazy."

"Thanks."

"Pyro, What's in your pocket?" Aqua asked cautiously. Pyro and Aqua were sitting next to the lake. Pyro looked in her pocket.

"Oh, this! It's Snape's dragon's blood. I swiped it before I left."

Aqua giggled. "Wonder what he'll try to do when he finds out."

"Don't know. Don't care." Pyro grinned.

"Pyro! Aqua!"

Pyro and Aqua turned around and saw Snape standing behind them.
