A.N: As with most writers, my plot bunny tried to escape. The good news is it was recaptured. The bad news is that aliens used it for genetic experiments, and now it has become confused. Although the idea has not changed, the plot itself seems to be mutating. (Yes, I am very strange.)
Chap. 4 The Meeting Starts
All over the U.K, wizards and witches stopped what they were doing. Several of them headed for an old, decrepit, dirty house. It seemed to be just an ordinary house, but for those arriving, it was one of the most important places. It housed the Order of the Phoenix, and those who gathered there, were among the most important people in the war. As each person arrived there, they were directed to a brightly burning fireplace, given some Floo powder, and told to Floo to Hogwarts.
The Order gathered in the great hall at Hogwarts. As the members arrived, it became apparent that the hall was the only place large enough to hold them all. They realized that the entire Order had been called; worried they began splitting into small groups to speculate about the situation. Many quickly decided that they had been called due to one out of two reasons. Either Harry Potter had died, or they were going to fight the final battle. A few of them would wish that one of those ideas had been accurate after the reason was revealed. One of them was Severus Snape, who was currently brewing a potion in his classroom while waiting for Albus to drag him upstairs.
Severus was definitely an ugly man. All people who knew him agreed on one thing, which was that only the person who was stupid enough to fall in love with him, would ever think him attractive. He knew there opinion quite well, and he encouraged it because it caused people to leave him alone. He was also sure that his sarcastic, arrogant, and downright malicious attitude helped. All in all, it was an enjoyable experience. There was one setback that annoyed him. Since Albus tended to walk right into his private chambers he was unwilling to decorate them to his taste.
The walls were made of rough grey-green granite blocks. This caused his rooms to look more like a true dungeon rather than comfortable living chambers. With only three rooms and a bathroom, it was small, and did not allow much in the way of possessions. In the main room sat two ruined chairs, one wooden, and one cloth. They sat facing a small fireplace with a cracked and wobbly end table between them. Along the largest wall, sat a battered bookshelf, however if one looked at the books closely they would have noticed that all were well cared for. In the top left corner of the room, was a small metal spiral staircase which went up through the ceiling and ended at a passage that led to the first floor. His study was through the western door, and only contained a large warped desk, and a small stool. The two other doors in the study led to the corridor and his potions office (southern and western respectively). The northern door in his chambers led to a tiny bedroom, with a narrow bed, a small dresser and also a small closet. The eastern door led to an equally small bathroom equipped with a toilet, small sink and a shower cubicle. There was no mirror.
Albus walked in the door, fully expecting to have Severus put up a fuss. To his surprise, Severus merely bottled the potion, cleaned his caldron with a charm, and then with a smirk he walked past Albus and up to the great hall. Albus followed him up to the hall. Taking a deep, calming breath, he entered the hall and sealed the doors. He walked up to the staff table and nodding to the others seated there, took his seat. Everyone else found a seat at one of the student tables, with some of them leaning against the walls. He quickly scanned the crowd, and noticed Severus and Remus leaning against a wall discussing something. Rising too his feet he called the meeting to order, and mentally braced himself for their reactions.
"I thank you for coming so quickly. I have discovered a matter of grave importance and find myself unable to find a solution. The matter will seem quite trivial and after stating it, I will give you several moments to think on it. Then I will explain why it is vital to our cause." He paused, and then he told them. "Harry Potter needs a vacation."
He sat down and waited for them to realize what he said.
A.N: yes I am a Severus fan. Me bad. Out line for his rooms is -bedroom
-potions class) -office) -study) -main room) -bathroom
- corridor his rooms are supposed to be very ugly/plain. Reason for description now is so I don't have to do this one later. Yes I know that I have absolutely idiotic A.N's but at least Dumbledore's last line was good. I found it kind of funny. (Hides in closet to keep from being murdered) In this story Severus is a big jerk, like in the books. There will be an OC joining the main cast eventually. And remember that the only non-AU stories are those written by Rowling herself. No matter how canon you write it is all AU. Try to remember.
