Chapter 6:

The Morning light shined through the thin curtains. Snape opened his eyes instantly to find the children entangled with each other. Making a face, he left the kids to take a shower. Opening the door and then locking it behind him- he jumped into the warm water. Then when he was done he toweled himself off and slipped into clean clothes. This time tan cargos shorts and a tan Beatles shirt with the yellow submarine on it. Tying his black hair into a ponytail he entered the room which was bright from the still morning light- the children were still asleep.

"Get up you lazy delinquents." Snape growled as he flipped the covers and the children to the floor. "We might be away from Hogwarts, but I am in charge here- so get up and get ready." He watched as Draco and Ella rushed through their things and Ella went to the bathroom first, leaving Draco at Snape's attention.

"Draco Malfoy, Don't do anything stupid, and don't forget that I'm also here with you two." Snape made another face, "I'll be downstairs… getting some coffee." Snape rushed out of the room, leaving Draco looking at the ground- this was going to be a long couple of months, the boy thought.

Ella and Draco rushed to the Starbucks that was next door to the hotel, they watched shocked that Snape was laughing and flirting with a woman at his table. The slowly walked up to them, "Snape, we are here." Ella stated as she studied the woman. Then Draco and herself sat across from them.

"These are the two I'm watching." Snape waved his hand towards the kids, his eyes not leaving their spot to even see if the kids were ok. "This is Marie Knight- a friend from school." The kids looked at her more closely. Marie's hair was pulled up tight in a ponytail and auburn in color, her eyes were silver and skin pale.

"Nice to meet you children, Snape I'm staying in the Aladdin… room 910, please come by later." She smirked and rushed off leaving the kids startled and Snape with a huge smile on his face.

Chapter 7:

During the day, they walked up and down the strip and of course stopped at a few shops. Snape got his haircut, short in length and walked with a weird bounce in his step, the kids could only watch as the depressing teacher transformed into something else. The sun lowered- that was good since they were just outside their hotel room. "You guys stay here, I'll be with Marie tonight… and don't so anything that will be frowned upon at Hogwarts.

Ella sat on the bed with Draco, staring at each other intensely, "Do you think Snape is alright?" She asked watching Draco nod a reply.

Chapter 8:

Snape woke up in Marie's bed; they were both nude within the covers. Turning his head he studied the sleeping form of Marie. He suddenly remembered how she wouldn't give him even a word in school- slowly his eyes went wide. His mind went back to what he was suppose to be doing...watching the kids.

Snape got out of bed and threw on his clothes, looking back at Marie... seeing the smirk on her face. This was part of a plan; he left without leaving a note, and walked fast to the hotel where he left the kids.

Draco's eyes snapped open to see that they were no longer in the motel- but in a dark musky room. Two red eyes flashed in front of him.

He was not alone; Ella was in the same state as himself- tied with a coarse rope. "I warned my grand daughter about this- but did she listen." Voldemort stated in a loud grumbling voice.

"You did that to her back at the school, didn't you?" Draco asked. Voldemort just nodded with a huge haunting smile. Draco struggled against the rope trying to get at Voldemort.

Laughing was the only sound heard in the room; Draco turned his head to see if Ella was alright- she was unconscious. "What did you do to her?" Draco yelled.

Voldemort just laughed, "Boy, you must be stupid- you should be more worried about yourself, than my granddaughter."

Draco felt himself lift from the ground, this airway being blocked

Voldemort just laugh, "Boy, you should be more worried about yourself." He commented as he hit the boy hard on the side of the face. Draco fell over against the cold ground. His cheek was tingling.

Draco could look at Ella as he felt every hit that Voldemort pounded into him. Draco closed his eyes as each hit made contact with his check then he felt strong hands against his throat. Draco fought against the hand and tears came to his eyes as his airways closed up.

Voldemort giggled like a school girl as Ella's eyes snapped open, "Grandfather, drop the boy." Ella whispered a few words of a spell and the ropes released her.

"Ella darling, I'm only doing this for your own good." Voldemort cried out as he dropped the boy to the ground. Draco coughed and held his throat with one of his hands as the ropes too released him. "Ella?"

Ella didn't look at Draco, "You leave this boy alone." She had an unnatural wind hitting her, making her hair move in also an unnatural way. Voldemort backed away from the children, "Ella, calm down..."

Voldemort remembered a time in his past that this happened to him; Rose had this power within her also. "Ella stop..." Ella looked at him with slanted eyes, that studied him closely, "Why should I, so you can kill us?"

Voldemort backed away some more, "You don't understand the power your releasing." Ella looked at the man that most people feared even to say his name, he was a bit taller than her but he was scared of her. "And you know don't ya?" Having her southern drawl come out.

He nodded quickly, but turned away from Ella sheepishly- "That is how I lost Rose, your grandmother. One day the power overwhelmed her." Ella looked at her grandfather but the hatred was still there. Seconds went by, but all of a sudden Ella grabbed her head and screamed in pain. Waves of power flowed out of her; Draco got up and walked towards Ella.

Voldemort grabbed the boy's hand quickly, "Boy, you can't stop this, she must do this on her own!" Draco tried to push away Voldemort, but the man kept his hold tightly on the boy. "I can't have her have he same fate, I must save her... I love her!" Draco cried out with tears streaming down his face.

Draco rushed into the waves of power that cut into his skin. Draco cried out as a long gash was cut deeply into his arms. Voldemort looked at the boy and his granddaughter, cursing loudly- he took out his wand and said a spell, pointed it at Ella. The girl dropped to the ground, Draco turned towards Voldemort, "Did you kill her?" he asked with a worried look as he held on to his arm. He was exhausted and his breathing came in harsh.

Voldemort shook his head, his red snake-like eyes stayed on the boy. "Young Malfoy, I just made her unconscious so she couldn't hurt us or herself, she still lives." Draco nodded and then raised an eyebrow, "What are you planning to do with us now?" Voldemort thought for a moment, they were still a problem for him- but could he harm his granddaughter without harming himself in the process.

Draco walked over to Ella, cradling her head as he sat under her. "Please help her?" Voldemort turned to leave but stopped at the door, "Only you can save her now." And then left the two in the basement of Lucius Malfoy's home.

Snape left Las Vegas in a hurry, using magic and some foo powder he was back in Hogwarts in no time. "Headmaster Dumbledore, Someone took the children." Dumbledore sat calmly at his desk, but looking up at Snape and his new look. The Headmaster covered his mouth as laughter hit the air, wrinkles creased at his eyes.

"Headmaster, please not now." Snape pleaded in protest.

Dumbledore held his side, "Alright." He slowed his laughing and was again quiet, "Don't worry about the children- they have a way back." He smiled, Snape just nodded at the headmaster and left the room.
