Chapter 4: Fatal Attractions
It had been over a month since Anastasia met the Phantom and she was starting to lose all hope of ever seeing him again. Lily however wouldn't give up.
"You can't lose hope now!" she said to Anastasia one morning as the morning post turned out without a single dove, "Didn't he say he would meet you again?"
"Well," Anastasia said reluctantly, "yeah."
"Than what's the problem?" she said triumphantly. "Whoever this guy is, he seems to be the type that doesn't hold out on his word."
Anastasia conceded to Lily's argument, "Yeah you're right. I just gotta have a little faith."
"Hey Anastasia!!!" Anastasia turned to see fellow Gryffindors Asia and Delma walking into the Great Hall with something behind Asia's back. "We found one of your little friends outside the girl's dormitory window." Delma said. From behind Asia's back she pulled out a snowy white dove with a note and rose and rose clamped in his beak.
"Oh my gosh! Guys, thank you soooo much!!!" Anastasia said excitedly taking the dove from Asia.
"No problem." Asia said waving a hand and they left. "Open it. Let's see what he's written." Lily said jumping up and down on the balls of her feet.
"All right, let's see then." Anastasia ripped the envelope open. There was only one thing written on the letter except "Meet me tonight in the library." He hadn't signed or given a specific time. I suppose he must mean the same time as last time.
"Ooooo, in the library." said Lily sarcastically, "Sounds romantic."
"Shut up." said Anastasia , "I'm sure he'll have something great planned tonight."
"Oh!" said Lily suddenly, "I HAVE to help you pick out your outfit for tonight."
"All right. All right" said Anastasia at the excited look on Lily's face, "Come on, let's get to class before we get detention."
Later that evening in the common room, all of the Marauders were sitting in front of the fire in the common room, talking about their next prank on Snape. Lily came down the stairs to the girls' dormitory with Anastasia following behind.
Tonight she was looking very sexy, yet it was very much her style. She had on a button down red plaid shirt, black mini skirt, knee high boots with fishnet stockings. She had her hair up in a neat bun. Most of the older guys in the common room began wolf whistling and yelling like imbeciles. Anastasia and Lily stared every boy down with the woman's infamous "Shut the Fuck Up or Die" stare and everyone stayed silent. The girls walked over to where the Marauders were sitting.
"Hel-lo? What's this?" James asked Anastasia staring up at her.
She bent down close to him and whispered slowly so that only the six of them could here, "James, I need to borrow the invisibility cloak again." The four boys looked at each other curiously.
"Why?" James asked nervously.
"I'm going on another date tonight!" Anastasia said happily.
All of the Marauders seemed extremely surprised by this news. But James managed a smile and said "Sure. Be right back. Sirius come with me so you can unlock the cloak out of your trunk." Sirius immediately stood up and went with James up to the boys' dormitory. It took longer for James to get the cloak than last time. After about ten minutes until he and Sirius finally came down and handed Anastasia the cloak.
"Thanks a lot, James." Anastasia said gratefully.
"Uh-right. No problem." James said uncertainly. "Say, where are you meeting this guy tonight?"
"Oh, um, the library." Anastasia said simply.
"The library?!" Sirius said with an air of surprise, "What kind of guy is this that takes a girl on a date to the school library?"
Anastasia gave Sirius an annoyed look, "What does it matter where the date is, all that does matter is that we have a good time. I'd better go or else I'm gonna be late." Anastasia wished all of her friends good-bye and left through the portrait hole.
It took her at least twenty minutes to get to the fourth floor from the seventh floor because Mrs. Norris got in her way. She kept looking at Anastasia as if she could see her through the cloak. But she made it to the library and didn't see Phantom yet so he must not have gotten there yet.
Anastasia wandered about the library and found that it was a bit spooky at night. She kept shuddering because the Bloody Baron had passed a few times and he was possibly the only thing in the entire castle that creeped her out more than Snape. She was just studying some of the books about charms when she heard…
"Locomotor Mortis!!!" Anastasia didn't have time to turn around. Her legs sprang together and fell back onto the floor. "What the hell had just happened?" she asked herself. She was just going to try to get up when Snape had swooped down on her pushing their whole body weight on her so she couldn't move.
He laughed maniacally and said, "Leg-Locker Curse. Works well, doesn't it?"
"SNAPE!?" Anastasia yelled as she tried to struggle out of Snape's grip, "what the fuck are you doing here?"
"Didn't you get my letter?" he said with a smirk.
"Your letter!" Anastasia yelled, her eyes widened with fright, "Y…you're the Phantom?"
Snape laughed bitterly, "Don't know who this Phantom guy is, but sure enough, he's the guy that's been sending you the letters." Snape laughed again at Anastasia's hurt and shocked face, "Knew that if I sent you one, you'd think I'd be that freak. Now you're mine!"
"NO!!! GET OFF OF ME!! HELP!!!" Anastasia screamed and struggled but no help came.
"You could scream as much as you want. No one won't come. I paid Peeves to keep Filch busy for the night. He's in the dungeons right now. Far away from here. Now sit still!"
Anastasia stopped. Her body went completely numb. Nothing she could do, nothing she could say would help her now. Snape began kissing her skin. Every time his lips touched her skin, every hair on her body stood up and every bone in her body chilled. Her eyes filled with tears but she didn't dare let them fall.
Snape was just on the prospect of unbuttoning her shirt when something large jumped on him, knocking him off off Anastasia. She inched her way across the floor. Looking back, saw a large black dog practically trying to rip Snape's leg off. Anastasia grinned happily. She really knew who that dog was. It backed off a bit and stared at Snape who was on the floor, whimpering and clutching his bloody ankle. The dog growled and instantly changed into his human form. The Phantom stood there, wand pointed at Snape and his black cloak billowing. The Phantom bent down at Snape, grabbed his throat and picked him up.
" Did I hurt ya?" Phantom asked menacingly, "Did I?" he asked again, tightening his grip on Snape's neck. He managed to squeak out a small 'yes,' "Excellent." Phantom let go of Snape and he sank to the floor, breathing heavily. Phantom then walked over to Anastasia, pointed his want at her and murmured "eximo," and asked her lovingly "Are you alright?"
"Ye-WATCH OUT!!" Anastasia screamed as she pushed Phantom out of the way. She didn't have time to get herself out of the way and got hit by what seemed to be a stunning spell. Anastasia fell and knew nothing more.
Anastasia moaned softly as she awoke. Her vision was cloudy at first, but she blinked a few times and the Phantom's masked face came into view. She smiled and whispered "Hi."
"Hey there." he said with great relief, "Thank goodness you're okay." Anastasia stood up and looked around the room. It looked much like the Gryffindor common room but much fancier.
"Where are we?" Anastasia asked curiously.
"Prefects common room." Phantom said simply.
"You're a prefect?" Anastasia snorted. This guy never seemed like prefect material, sneaking out at night taking girls on dates.
"No!" Phantom replied with surprise, "but I do know someone who's a prefect."
"A-ha. Ha. Ha." Anastasia laughed sarcastically, "Now I'll really be able to figure out who are." Phantom laughed loudly, almost like a bark.
"So," Anastasia asked nervously, "what happened after I got stunned?"
"Well," Phantom said as he sat down, trying to remember what had happened, "um, I disarmed him, punched his lights out, then got our asses out of there before Filch could catch us. He probably got there while Snape was knocked out, so he probably got a week worth's of detention!" Phantom smirked at the thought.
Anastasia laughed happily and she spent the rest of the night with Phantom, plotting of ways to get back at Snape, but then Phantom's eyes lit up and his face broke into a grin.
"You know what," he said tapping his chin, "I might have a way to get back at the bastard."
Anastasia looked excitedly and began bopping up and down in her seat, "Oh, oh! What is it?"
Phantom laughed quietly and said very mysteriously "You'll see."
