New Beginnings part 8
Down in the dungeons Lauren was grinning. She was eavesdropping on Snape trying berate
Saria about the horendous scene in the great hall mere minutes ago. The key word is 'trying'
she wasn't listening, she was grinnng while rubbing her very sore ear. George and Harry came
running up to Lauren out of breath and were about to launch into apologies but Lauren shushed
them and pulled them down to her level kneeling on the ground to listen.
"I can't believe you would pull such a disgusting display of childish behaviour! WIPE
THAT STUPID GRIN OFF YOUR FACE! DO YOU THINK THIS IS FUNNY? YOU'RE MAKING A MOCKERY OF THE
FAMILY NAME AND REPUTATION! THIS IS NO LAUGHING MATTER! I WILL NOT TOLERATE SUCH BEHAVIOUR! DO
YOU THINK THIS PLEASES ME!?" Saria continued grinning, though her ear was sore she was quite
enjoying his chaotic behaviour. It was amusing to her, and he left her an open line to boot.
"ANSWER ME YOUNG LADY! DO YOU THINK IT'S FUNNY!?"
"yes"
"WHAT!?!?"
"i said yes, it is funny, to see you turning red from embarrassment in front of the
entire school and then going a deeper shade from anger and lack of breath, it is hilarious"
"WHAT IS HILARIOUS!?!? you have embarrassed me in front of THE WHOLE SCHOOL!"
"exactly! it's funny! your making a spectacle of yourself right now in fact! i bet they
can hear you in the great hall! so uncle Severus, when are we going to sneak off to Hogsmead?
You promised we'd skip school soon to have some qaulity time" Snape just stood there and gaped
at her. How could she be so calm and happy when he was furious and yelling? Most people were
scared to death when he yelled at them. And now, she had asked when they were skipping school
to go to Hogsmead! Well, he did promise, and he did want to go sometime soon. She obviously
wasn't listening to him anyways, he might as well answer her question and bring up the main
subject later. He sighed.
"probably friday Saria..."
Lauren who was still listening gave a low quiet whistle. "damn i wish i could get out of
school that easily! I'm running low on dungbombs!" she whispered to the others who nodded in
agreement. Seeing as the most interesting parts were over for the yelling they decided to leave
them to whatever they were planning to do and go talk. They found a nice empty room in the
dungeon corridor and stepped inside. George decided that now was a good time to say what he had
to say.
"Lauren, i wanted to tell you that i've decided not to listen Fred, or anyone else for
that matter, when it comes to our relationship. I want to be able to do what i want, when i
want with you" he said looking into her eyes. Lauren smiled and Harry just kind of stood there.
"so does this mean that if we get another chance like this morning we wont waste it?" she
said with a grin. George grinned as well.
"nope! we wont waste a spare moment!" he leaned forward and was about to give her a
passonite kiss on the lips when Harry made a noise like he was clearing his throat.
"you guys forget about me?" he said with his hands on his hips.
"sorry buddy" Lauren said "why don't we go do something before class starts?" she asked.
Harry grinned.
"sure!" they walked out of the school to walk around the lake, George said he had to go
talk to Fred and Lee so they went alone.
Lauren walked into to her fourth period Hufflepuff potions class. She sat beside George as
she had been previously doing as long as they had both been attending Hogwarts. Snape made his
usual dramatic entrance with his cloak billowing behind him and stopped when he reached his
desk. He eyed Lauren.
"Miss Potter, please take your seat next to mr. Diggory, or have you forgotten our
arrangement?" He gestured to the empty seat beside Cedric.
"oh please forgive my forgetfullness your highness! i'll report to my new station
immediatly! thank you for reminding me!" she answered, the sacrasm dripping from her words.
George in the background could be heard cussing off Snape and the over-enthusiastic Cedric was
being given a very dark glare.
"calm down Cedric! damnit! your making the table shake!" Lauren said as she took her seat
next to him. Cedric blushed and quickly quieted himself while being overjoyed at the fact that
she talked to him, and she was now sitting beside him.
"now that my class is back in order, i shall continue with the lesson, copy down the
ingredients from the board and begin making your potions" he orered nad turned to the board.
Lauren copied the ingredients and began doodling in her notebook while Cedric drew pictures of
her with hearts around her name. George was to busyt giving evil glares of death to everyone to
notice Diggory. Snape however did notice Cedric and so he said:
"i will be collecting your lists and steps to evaluate you on your skills at the end of
class" Cedric scrambled and turned over to face Lauren blushing.
"can we hand in your copy?"
"why?"
"oh, no reason... your writing is just so much nicer than mine"
"yeah whatever Cedric"
"i will be randomly selecting papers"
"SHIT!"
"Mr.Diggory, 10 points from Hufflepuff!"
"sorry professor" Lauren raised her hand.
"yes Ms.Potter?"
"Professor, if you already know the steps to making this potion and you already wrote it
down on the board, then what is the point of collecting the papers? it's not necessary!"
"are you finished miss.Potter?"
"no but everything else will get points taken away from me" the whole class started
clapping"
"Ms.Potter, this is my class, and i don't need you trying to show off, i will do
what i want in this class"
"excuse me professor but i wasn't showing off, i was stating a fact" before Snape could
reply, or take any points, or kill someone/thing, Saria came busting in the door.
"HEY PROFESSOR UNCLE SEVVY!" the class snickered, Snape slightly blushed. "HI LAUREN! HI
FRED! HI LEE! HI EVERYONE ELSE!"
"Saria! what the hell do you think your doing in my class?!" Lauren jumped up.
"excuse me professor! but if we aren't allowed to swear what gives you that right?"
"i'm a teacher and i'm older, now sit down and get back to your potion!" Saria grinned
"she's right professor uncle Sevvy!"
"stop calling me that!"
"why professor uncle Sevvy?"
"because i said so"
"but why professor uncle Sevvy?"
"get out of my classroom! now! i'm trying to conduct a lesson!"
"but i can't professor uncle Sevvy"
"why? haven't you been kicked out of class again?"
"no professor uncle Sevvy"
"then why are you here? and stop calling me that!"
"because i'm on a mission, but i'm niot goin' fihsin' professor uncle Sevvy, Professor
McGonagall wants me to tell you that she wants to tlak to you after school in the side corridor
alone so she can rape you"
"WHAT?"
"sorry, wrong message, thats for Dumbledore"
"WHAT!?"
"your message is she wants to talk to you in the staffroom after dinner! something about
students complaining that you aren't nice to them or something"
"very well, now go!"
"but i don't wanna professor uncle Sevvy!"
"why?"
"because i can't professor uncle Sevvy!"
"why now? another message"
"no i just wanted to remind you to feed cuddles!"
"shhhh! go! now!"
"but i still can't professor uncle Sevvy!"
"why NOW!?" Saria spread her arms.
"because you never gave me a good-bye hug!" Snape groaned and grabbed her ear which
caused her to scream.
"CHILD ABUSE!" he quickly let go.
"leave!"
"hug me"
"no"
"hug me"
"NO!"
"HUG MEEE!"
"ok, i was hoping i wouldn't have to resort to thism, Ms.Potter, remove her please"
"why should i? what have you ever done for me?!" Snape groaned. Saria clasped her hands
behind her back.
"the only way to get rid of me is to either hug me, or give Lauren what she wants!"
"fine, what do you want Ms.Potter?"
"i have a long list of demands sir, but since i'm such a NICE person, i'll choose one,
don't collect our work, and maybe we could have a day to make our own potions?"
"very well, just remove her!" Lauren gladly got up to cheers from the class and picked
Saria up.
"come on Saria, lets go get some ice cream from the kitchens"
"i want you back in five minutes!"
"yeah yeah, sure sure"
"yay ice cream! wait one thing more to do! carry me THAT way!"
"no Saria, by the terms of our agreement i am to remove you, no hugs"
"but i want HUUUuuuuuuuuugs" her voice faded as she was carried away down the hall for ice
cream with Lauren. In the silence Cedric said:
"that woman is a goddess" George jumped up.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY!?"
"well she is! and i wasn't making any moves on her!" George uncovered Cedrics notebook.
"oh really? you are SO dead later!"
Down in the dungeons Lauren was grinning. She was eavesdropping on Snape trying berate
