The next day, Snape joined the others in cleaning Grimwald Place. This also involved avoiding Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and Fred, who was taking the day off while George and Lee Jordan watched the shop. George would join them that night to be inducted into the Order. Cleaning the house was easy. Most of it had been done last summer, however the house had gone into a bit of disarray since Kreature left to join the Malfoys, but the real work involved avoiding everyone. He must have left ten random jobs half done because he just up and left anytime some one came into the room he happened to be working in. He would have hid out in Sirius' old room, but it could only become so clean. He cleaned straight through lunch, despite Molly's calls. He let his memory wander once again.
Severus was walkingin the gardens with Clytemnestra. Just do it,he thought to himself.You swore you would. Hogsmeade is tomarrow.
"So, are you going to Hogsmeade tomarrow?" she asked.
"Yeah. You wanna come with me?"
"What, like a date?" Severus wasn't thrilled to see the look on her face that seemed to be an evil smile. He tried not to let that deter him. "Yes. Like a date. Do you still want to come?"
She let out a laugh and replied "I want to come even more."
That night Severus was sitting in the Slytherin Common room doing homework when who but Malfoy walked(or sauntered) up to him.
"So I see you asked out that girl you've been hanging around."
"So I see you've found that brain transplant spell you've been needing." Malfoy sneered and walked away to his group of cronies. Severus put away his finished homework and went to his dormitory where Hephaestus Longbottom, older brother of Frank from Gryffindor, sat, having just arrived back from the hospital wing. He was a beater on the Quidditch team, and was often in there for injuries. He got injured off the field also, such as was the case this time.
"How's your foot?"
"Not bad. Hey frank told me you got a date tomarrow with the girl from Ravenclaw."Severus looke d quickly at Hephaestus. How the hell did he learn that? Severus voiced this question out loud. Hephaestus shrugged. I think Sirius told him. They were in the gardens this afternoon doing something or other." Severus seethed. The Mauraders would pay for learning this. But he would worry about that after he was done worrying about his date. This wasn't a commn problem, and he should at least enjoy having it.
"Snape, it's time to eat!" called Molly. "I'm not hungry."
"It's supper time already and you didn't have lunch!" Supper time?! Great. He couldn't skip another meal. He sighed and went downstairs.
