Chapter 20: In which Snape receives his Just Desserts.
Disclaimer: I do not own anything that has ever been in the Harry Potter books.
Peering around the corner in plain view Professor Snape appeared to be getting beaten by some imaginary or invisible figure. Every time Snape was punched or fell down Gryffindor colors would spark across the Great Hall and Snapes hair would change color (into the Gryffindor colors.)
Around him Slytherins were devastated along with some Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs the rest of the students looked ready to burst out laughing. Some were laughing their heads off. If Snape opened his mouth to yell and take points off he was again hit.
Rose felt a tap on her shoulder and the 'Marauders Jr.' turned around to see Professor Lupin. The five followed sadly. Once in his office Mary leaned against the wall and asked,
"So month's detention I'm guessing. No that's too small err, two months no that still is …"
"MARY!" Rose yelled.
"Yeah?" Mary asked.
"You are rambling on," She paused. "AGAIN"
"I prefer the word prattling which means almost the same." Mary said.
"Whatever." Rose answered rolling her eyes. Mary glared at her.
Hermione stared at them. "I am still trying to figure out why I am your friend." She said to both.
"Because you love us so much," Mary provided.
"Who came up with that spell?" Professor Lupin asked, stopping the friends conversation.
"Rose's!" Ron answered.
"Ronald!" Rose yelled.
"Stop calling me that!" Ron yelled back.
"Aw, but I love that name. Oh and I'm still mad at you."
"It's okay, you are not in trouble. I must say though that was very err interesting but you might have wanted to save it for a Quidditch match don't you think?" He interrupted again with a smile.
"That would have been funny. But you know what I think would really tick him off?" Mary said.
"What?" Harry asked her.
"Shampoo and the three words lather, rinse, and repeat." Mary laughed. Professor Lupin was less than amused.
"Mrs. Black, I'm sure we could do without the usage of insulting another Professor."
"I was not insulting. I was merely telling the truth that is he needs to wash that slime ball hair of his."
The conversation continued and they all ended up getting a few points off no detentions though.
-----------------
A few nights later Mary was having trouble sleeping. She went down to the common room and lay on a couch near the fire.
'Why do I keep thinking like this?' Mary asked herself. She had been thinking for a long while about how she wanted to taste blood on her lips. 'That would be the best way to get rid of the only friends you have had in a long time. Stop letting the vampire part of you take control!' Mary yelled at herself mentally. 'Not again.' A soft voice said in back of her mind.
"Mary." A voice disrupted her thoughts and Mary jerked back to the common room and saw Harry staring down at her. He sat down on the couch next to Mary. "Are you alright?" He asked.
"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" Mary asked.
"You are crying," Harry answered. Mary slowly brought a finger up the her cheek where a wet tear lay. "You sure you are ok?"
"I don't know anymore." The answer startled Harry. When he didn't speak Mary continued. "Everything is so confusing now. Everything is happening so fast and oh God Harry I'm just so confused and scared." She started crying and Harry held her muttering comforting words.
"It's ok Mary." He whispered.
"No it's not. It will never be alright. You don't know and I wish you did. I wish I could tell you. Oh how I wish you all knew," Mary whispered back. A whisper being all her voice could produce. Harry looked at Mary for a while he didn't understand what she was talking about but he had a feeling he would know soon enough.
Mary and Harry spent most of the night there. Harry trying to calm Mary and Mary just being grateful she had a good friend like Harry. If she didn't she didn't even want to think of what would be possible.

Short, yes I am sorry. It is also turning MaryxHarry. You will see more of that along with RonxRose as the story gets nearer to Christmas. Next Chapter is QUITTICH! Everyone cheer! There will be little romance in that chapter more action. In chapter 22 I am thinking about skipping a month straight to Christmas. In that chapter there will be romance with the couples I mentioned above. Just warning you, if you think you won't like it then I suggest you leave now instead of reviewing insults. Anyway onto last chapter's reviewers.
