Author's note: Still have nothing to say. Only one review. If you're reading this, I beg you to review. Even if you did so last time I posted it. I'd like to get the review count up a bit. Tell me if you like it, tell me if you hate it, tell me if you think it needs improvement, tell me anything! But please do review, even if you're only going to say one word. Once again, I didn't create any of these characters, except for Selina. Josh created Scott. I hope you're getting that figured out now. The lines indicate paragraph breaks, as I'm still working on figuring out how to get those on here. If anyone knows, tell me in your review please!
-gizmogurlie: Snape's one of my personal fav characters too. I'm glad you like the story. I like yours a lot too, lol.
A Summer Not Easily Forgotten-Chapter 3: Lies and Surprises
Selina stared blankly at Scott. What he had just said hadn't completely sunk in yet. Scott laughed evilly again, rather amused by the look on her face. He leaned towards her and grasped her chin gently, tilting her head up so she was looking him directly in the eyes.
"Selina," He started with a slight smirk. "I'm going to kill you."
A look of fear came to Selina's eyes as She realized what had just been said. She pulled her head out of Scott's grasp and got up, backing away towards the door.
"No!" Her voice quivered with fear.
Scott laughed and pulled out his wand, and pointed it at her, his expression immediately changing to serious as he did so. "Yes."
Selina stopped moving and looked fearfully at the wand. She took a deep breath to try to calm herself before moving her glance back to his face.
"Why?" She managed to choke out.
"I've already explained that to you. I'm getting my revenge on your father." Scott replied, his wand still pointed at Selina.
"For something he didn't do?" Selina asked bravely.
At this, Scott snapped and grew impatient. "Selina, we both know what your father did, alright? Now stop trying to deny it and make yourself look foolish!"
Selina's face grew determined. "He may have supported Voldemort a few years ago, but he never killed anyone."
"There are witnesses to say he did it, just give in and admit it! Or has Severus been lying to his own daughter?" Scott smirked and put his wand down at his side as he taunted.
"He would not lie to me, and I know he didn't do it!" Selina replied with determination, glaring at Scott.
"Indeed I did not!" A familiar voice said sharply from the doorway.
Scott's face grew a slight shade of pale as he looked and saw who it was that had arrived. Selina spun around sharply and smiled at who she saw.
"Father!" She exclaimed in a rather relieved tone. "You're home early!"
"Yes, Selina, I have returned early. And just in time by the look of things." He said, glaring at Scott.
Scott simply smirked evilly. "Back from helping Voldemort so soon?"
"When it comes to that you should have listened to my daughter. As she said, I have changed. I was simply helping to clean up the school, along with all the other staff members." Severus replied calmly.
"Then what are you doing back so early?" Scott asked.
"I had a feeling something was going on here, so I came home early." Severus replied.
Scott laughed. "Severus, Severus, Severus, you never will change, will you? Always telling lies."
"You know nothing you say is true." Severus replied.
"Actually, I believe it is the other way around. It is you that never speaks the truth." Scott retorted.
"Believe what you wish, but until you bring out some proof, nobody else will believe your stories." Severus replied sternly.
"Perhaps the people you have control over won't believe what he says, but I know I will." Said a girl's voice in the doorway.
Scott looked at the speaker and smiled. Severus and Selina, on the other hand, spun around to see who it was.
"Hermione?" Selina asked with a shocked look on her face.
"Miss Granger! What are you doing in my house?" Asked Severus, an equal amount of shock on his face.
"Why I'm here to help Scott of course, Severus. He's a good friend of the family now. You're talking to the future Mrs. Summers." Hermione replied, smiling at Scott.
"You're engaged to Him?" Severus asked, quite a bit of shock in his voice.
"Of course, Severus." Hermione replied.
"How dare you address me by my first name, Miss Granger! You are still one of my students, and until that changes..." Severus started with a hint of disgust in his voice.
"It has changed, Severus. I am no longer a student." Hermione beamed.
"What on earth do you mean, Hermione? You just finished your fifth year, as did I." Selina said, her confusion quite apparent.
"Yes, that is true, Selina. However, I just returned from a visit to the ministry; they have allowed me to graduate two years early, due to the fact that I am as smart, if not smarter than, a seventh year." Hermione replied, still beaming and walking to stand beside Scott.
Severus let out an amused laugh. "You? As smart as a seventh year? That's worth a laugh."
"Well, you have to admit, I was always top of class." Hermione replied.
"That may be so, but being on top of the class and knowing as much as a seventh year are two completely different things." Severus said.
"I never thought I'd see the day when you of all people would admit to my smartness." Hermione said wait a slight laugh.
"Well, I don't remember doing that, but I'm sure you'll take it however you wish." Severus replied, his voice dripping with sarcasm.
"Of course I will, you should know that by now." Hermione said with a smile.
"Alright, will the two of you just stop so we can get on with this?" Scott asked, growing impatient again.
"Yes, I agree." Hermione replied, pulling out her wand and pointing it at Selina, while Scott pointed his at Severus.
Selina looked fearful once more, but Severus remained calm.
"I can see Scott's reason for wanting to kill me, but what do you expect to accomplish by killing Selina, Miss Granger?" Severus asked.
"It's quite simple really. I kill her in front of you, and then it's your turn to die at the hands of Scott. It's all payback for what you did to his friends. And Scott's friends are my friends. Does that clear the matter up for you?" Hermione replied.
"Selina did nothing, let her live. Killing her will do nothing if you plan to kill me as well." Severus begged.
Hermione and Scott looked at each other, thinking the matter over. As they did so, Severus nodded discreetly towards Selina, who picked up on what he was trying to say and turned and ran from the room.
