The last day of school, before the Christmas holidays. Children laughing, smiling, generally have fun, how Severus Snape loathed them...He rolled his eyes to his left, and out of plain boredom, watched Remus talking and gesturing wildly to an over-excited Filius Flitwick, who looked as if he would fall off his chair, for the forth time during that meal. Further along was Minerva, muttering something to Dumbledore, which made him smile. Madame Hooch, (Severus was pleased to see) was boring Poppy Pomfrey, apparently trying to convince her that The Montrose Magpies Beater, was in fact too old to play, and should therefore retire...for his own safety of course.

'The Grim draws ever closer, as your lifeline, shortens, my child. May I suggest burning Sage to hold it at bay??? OH! But wait...there is a clue here, in the shape of a-a.... a person? A young girl...and a boy, I suggest you avoid them, for the cost of meeting them could be your life!!!!'

'Thank you Sybil, for the...advice,' said Snape dryly, wrenching his hand from her grasp. 'I did intend to avoid someone, though, clearly, it isn't working. Also, if you could focus the sight on closer events, you will see that I need to grade three class exams, by tomorrow. Goodbye.' Snape stood quickly, and strode down the isle, towards the end of the hall. He paused to sneer at a group of Gryffindor first-years, before something collided with his head. He fell backwards, and landed on one of the poor girls knees, she squealed. Great, this was almost as embarrassing as the incident last year. He had fallen in a very compromising position on Miss Weasley. Something prodded him in the back, as he heard a timid voice say: 'Excuse me Professor, but...do you mind...'

Severus stood quickly, and looked around for the cause of his mild concussion. A small owl, which would have easily fitted into the palm of his hand, was twittering madly in the air, above a bowl of cereal. Judging by the mess surrounding it, the owl had landed in the Corn Flakes.

Severus' eyes, flew to the red envelop, in the tiny birds' beak. It was beginning to smoke in the corners. Who would send him a howler? Snape yanked the envelop out of the birds beak, and skilfully opened it. He threw it into the air, and allowed it to shape itself into a mouth-like shape.

'SEVERUS SNAPE! DUE TO OUR NOT BEING PRESENT AT THE SCHOOL THIS YEAR, WE HAVE SENT YOU THIS HOWLER, HOPING IT WILL EMBARRASS YOU TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH!' Snape glared around the hall, instantly recognising the voices of Fred and George Weasley. 'YOU HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED TO TAKE PART IN A COMETITION CALLED BIG BROTHER: A WIZARDS' WAY! WE HAVE THOUGHT A GREAT DEAL ABOUT THIS, AND DECIDED TO INCLUDE HERMIONE GRANGER, DRACO MALFOY, AND NEVILLE LONGBOTTOM! YOU WILL ALL BE COMPETING AGAINST EACH OTHER, YOU DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE BUT TO COMPLY, AND YOU MUST ALL, NOW GO TO REMUS LUPINS' CLASS. THANK YOU.' The Howler exploded, leaving bits of ash in the young girls' hair. Snape shot the Headmaster an accusing look, and stalked off. Great, stuck in Moony's office, with 3 students, whilst listening to someone drone on...brilliant.

As Severus walked past an empty classroom, he heard mumbling, he waltzed around the door and said casually, 'Abit early, isn't it Fawcett?'

A scream and a yell, before two figures ran past Snape. '20 house points from each of you!' said Snape calmly, before turning back to the corridor. Those damn children, no... teenagers, couldn't control their hormones even at 8:30 in the morning! What was the world coming too?

When he reached Remus' office, he paused and took a deep breath, at least he was the first here. He opened the door, and stepped inside. He had to admit, it was kind of homey. He peered in the rafters, and then looked suspiciously at the portraits.

'Ahem,'

Snape looked down, and saw the notorious Weasley twins.

'What?'

'Aren't you going to say hello?' Fred or George asked.

'No,' replied Severus shortly.

The door opened and the rest of the pupils came in.

'Hi guys! You must all be wondering why you're here? Well, we'll just jump straight in. We've decided to include you guys into a contest called Big Brother: A Wizards Way! You are all locked in a house, until we see fit to release you. Every few days, one of you gets voted off. The winner, is the last person, who hasn't been voted off, and they'll win 100 galleons.' At peoples disappointed looks, Fred said, 'What? You didn't expect us to give away all of our money...did you?'

'Dad put up cameras throughout the house where you'll be staying, so you'll be watched, wherever you are. The cameras are hooked up to Professor Trelawneys' divination, crystals. We have a portkey here, to the house, so, whenever your ready...'Said George.

'What about our things?' asked Malfoy.

'Already their. Come on people!' Fred pulled out an old boot. Everyone placed a finger on it except Snape, who looked at it in disgust.

'Come on Severus.' Said George, ignoring the deadly glare Snape gave him, grabbed his hand, and stuffed it into the boot. They waited five seconds, before, they all disappeared.

Almost instantly, their feet touched the floor in a small flat. Snape and Hermione were the only ones standing, the others, were all in a pile on the floor. Hermione walked around, what must have been the living room, because it had a TV in once corner, and a couch and a chair in another. She walked through an archway, into what was the kitchen, afew spider-webs covered the walls, and the floor was littered with broken glass, from the window, which was broken.

'Hermione?' came Freds' voice.

She walked back to the small group, and caught sight of a glint of glass in the dead rose bush. So, she'd already seen one camera. That would work to her advantage later...

'Everyone, Fred and I, would like to introduce you to Cammie Weir and Jacey Moor! These two ladies taught us everything we know, when we were in our first year! They're the mistresses of mischief, so you'd better be careful! They're gonna be here to spice up the environment, when it will undoubtedly become boring. (George said this looking at Snape.) They are contestants too, so, you can join the voters, and vote them off if you want. Right, so, now that you're here, you can get settled in. Your bags are in the bedrooms upstairs. Oh! And every morning, we'll send an owl to tell you to complete a task. Good Luck!' And with that, the twins disapperated.

The unusual group stared at each other blankly, Severus, slowly edging away from Cammie. This was a nightmare! He'd thought that he was free of her, it was unfortunately apparent that he wasn't Cammie calmly walked over to Jacey, and steered her out of the room. Draco glanced at Hermione and Neville, before walking over to Snape. Hermione and Neville looked at each other, sat down on the couch and switched on the TV. Trisha! Brilliant, Hermione loved this show! Neville was soon hooked as well.

'Us Slytherins' should stick together.' Draco whispered.

The two of them edged out the room and into the kitchen, where they ran into the 'Terrible Two'. The two girls stared at their ex-professor before trotting out of the kitchen, and up the stairs.

'So, what do we do now??' asked Draco.

'Leave me alone.' Replied Snape shortly, before pushing past Draco and walking up the stairs, with the intent of unpacking.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Good Luck!' The twins disappeared.

Cammie looked at everyone in the room, and noticed Snape edging away from her, slowly. After what he's been through with me, I'm surprised he's not running, thought Cammie. She spared a glance at Jacey, walked over to her, linked her arm and steered her into the kitchen.

'What?' hissed Jacey.

'I have a plan.' Replied Cammie, grinning wildly.

'Do tell!'

They were interrupted by Severus and Draco walking into the kitchen with them. The two young women stifled a laugh and ran up the stairs. They looked at the two bedrooms...yes TWO! And chose the biggest, which held two double beds. On one of the beds, was a note. It read:

We thought it'd add some amusement if it was two to a bed, so...have a good night!

'This should be interesting!' Jacey looked at Cammie, 'You and me? I'll try not to steal the covers!' Cammie arched an eyebrow, sighed and jumped on the bed.

'Can I tell you my plan now?'

'Fine,' said Jacey in mock anger.

'Since we're in the same house as Snape, we can get him back, for all those years of torture and for the poor kids he's teaching now...Fred? George? If you can hear me, could you come here please...'

At Jacey's questioning stare, Cammie added, 'We might need supplies.'

BANG! The door to their bedroom slammed open.

'Am I right in saying, that there are only two bedrooms?'

'And three double beds!' Said Jacey happily.

And who do I have the pleasure of sleeping with?

'You have a choice between Hermione, Malfoy or that Neville kid, or you might be able to bride me or Jacey...hint hint.'

Snape sighed, this was gonna be hard.

'Can't we just draw straws?'

'No, me and Cammie are gonna sleep together, unless you temp us with a bride, otherwise, you have a choice with the others.' Said Jacey

Snape advanced on the two young women, but was interrupted by a small cough.

Cammie excused her self, and headed to the bathroom in the hall. As she closed the door, she heard a pop behind her.

'You called?'

Cammie turned to face Fred Weasley 'Yeah, me and Jacey are gonna prank Snape, but we need some supplies, can you help...or is it against the rules?' asked Cammie

'Sure I can help, it all adds to the entertainment. Tell me what you want, and I'll give them to you tomorrow.'

'Make up, alcohol, art supplies and maybe you could hire someone to pretend to brake in, but only do that when Jacey and me steel everyone's wands...Attention, if anyone at Hogwarts can hear this, keep watching, because Severus Snape is going down!'

'Don't get too hyped up, cause he's coming down the hall to check on you, or so George is telling me.' Fred pointed to a bud of some kind in his ear. 'Bye!' And with that, Fred disapperated.

Shortly after he'd gone, there was a rattling noise on the door.

'Miss Wier! Have you got stuck? There are other people who need to use the Lavatory!'

From behind the door, Cammie heard a muffled laugh, and someone say, 'Lavatory?'

She flushed the toilet, opened the door and came face to face with a questioning Snape.

'Um-it's that time Severus, sorry.' And with that, she ran to her room, tears of laughter streaming down her face. Jacey soon followed, 'That was brilliant!' she gasped between breathes, she was also laughing.

'Well, the laughter had to start with something!'

'Yeah, but that was a bit mean to Severus...don't you think? I mean, he hardly knows how to react to that, does he?'

'Are you trying to make me feel guilty?' asked Cammie.

'Is it working?'

'Yes,'

'Sorry, so, what's first.... unpacking, or embarrassing Sevvie?' Jaceys' grin quickly faded as her question was quickly answered.

'I'd unpack if I were you MISS Moor.' He put the emphasis on 'miss' to jolt Jacey back to her school days. 'You forget who I am, and what I am capable of, when you two try...stuff.' He ended lamely. Cammie spun around quickly, only to find him directly behind her. She bumped into him and quickly backed up, again resulting in an embarrassing bump. Cammies' knees hit the bed, which she toppled over and landed on the floor.

'I'm fine!' came a muffled voice.

'Unfortunately,' added Snape.

'Hey! I heard that!'

'Obviously...' Severus sighed.

Jacey strode up to Snape, intent upon making him nervous. Unfortunately, it only resulted in Jacey cringing and his black eyes narrowed and he gave her a thin smile...he was laughing at her...at least she thought he was.... why was he smiling??

'Something funny...SEVERUS?'

If possible, his eyes narrowed even more. 'Miss Moor, I know the you're planning something...I don't know what, but, for your own safety, I suggest you do not attempt it, now, I was hoping to unpack, but since you two are here, I'll refrain from doing so, until it is absolutely necessary.'

'Sev, you needn't do that, dear!' said Cammie, sniggering slightly.

Severus strode up to his ex-pupil, he bounced on the balls of his feet, and stated:

'Miss.... Cammie, please don't make this...contest anymore difficult than it has to be please?'

'Right-o tiger!' she retorted.

Snape froze, glaring at the young woman infront of him.

'What did you ca-'

'TIGER!' Cammie and Jacey yelled in unison.

'ARGH!' Snape cried out in frustration. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, opened them again, and focused on his two 'friends'.

'Why do you two insist on making my life hell?'

'Why do you insist on torturing Hogwarts Students?' asked Jacey.

'You are not students any more, I have not tortured you since you left school.'

'Ok then, if we're not students, why won't you call us by our first manes?' asked Jacey

'Hey! He says my name!' said Cammie.

'Ok then, my name, why won't you say my name?'

'Because, unlike your friend, you still don't know when you've gone too far in you little jokes, thus, proving the logical answer, that you are not mentally an adult. And I don't know why I'm even bothering to explain logic to either of you!'

Snape sent a final glare towards them, before sweeping out of the room. He slammed the door behind him.

'Someone's got an attitude problem!' commented Cammie, a grin evident on her face.

'Wingardium Leviosaa!' yelled Jacey, hovering her clothes into the cabinet, next to her, Cammie called 'Accio!' She summoned her silver Serpent-shaped necklace and tied it on. Cammie then levitated her clothes into their own cabinet and unceremoniously shoved the suitcase under the bed, making as much noise as possible, anything to annoy her old Professor! She brought her head above the bed, and looked for Jacey. 'Ready?'

'Yeppers!'

The friends linked arms and skipped through the corridor. They skidded to a halt, as they heard bangs coming from the kitchen.

'-FRAIN YOURSELF PLEASE!' was heard through the floor.

'NO! I WON'T! I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT EPISODE BEFORE, IT'S THE ONLY FORM OF ENTERTAINMENT IN THIS-THIS SHED, AND YOU GO AND BLOW UP THE DAMN THING SO I CAN'T EVEN USE IT! WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM? DO YOU LIVE TO ANNOY OTHERS? IS THAT IT?' Cammie and Jacey ran down the stairs to see Hermione throttling Snape, who was turning purple. He sported a red hand mark to the side of the face and three scratch marks down the other. His wand lay forgotten on the floor.

'HERMIONE?!!' yelled Cammie. 'What are you doing?' She ran forward, and tried to remove Hermione's vice-grip from Snapes neck, from which, you could now see the veins pulsing angrily. Cammie's hands dropped to her wand, which she pulled out, took aim and yelled, 'Colloportus!'

Hermione fell to the floor, a look of intense rage pasted on her face.

'Jacey? Take her into the living room will you?' Jacey nodded, and levitated Hermione through the door. On the other side, Cammie could hear Neville Crying out in misery, Draco was laughing.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Severus slammed the door shut, and stalked down the stairs, on which, he ran into Draco. Couldn't the boy leave him alone?

'What?' Snape asked shortly.

'I didn't ask anything Sir.'

Severus nodded in response, and waltzed down the last few steps, shortly followed by Draco. He whirled around, his robes billowing at his feet.

'WHAT?'

'Sir, we don't have any food in the kitchen...'

'Go and buy some then, I am not hungry.'

'But that's slave work! I'm not doing anything like that!'

'Leave me alone then!' hissed Snape, he brushed past the boy, and burst in on Granger and Longbottom watching a colour box...thing, Severus vaguely remembered it being called a TV from a muggle studies course he'd took with the Headmaster. He stood infront of it, and started when the woman on the screen said something about safe sex and pregnancy. He swung around to see the two Gryffindors on the edge of the couch, open mouthed and wide eyed.

'And, Sarah, what did Mike say, when you told him he wasn't the father?'

Snape turned back to face the TV.

'He-he-he dumped me and went out with my brother...he was gonna tell me earlier.... he's gay!!!' the girl in the box started crying.

'Well, let's bring on the brother and the boyfriend shall we?'

'Oh God, Why?' thought Snape. 'Miss Granger, I don't think you should be watching this at your age could you please-'

'GET OUT OF THE WAY!' Yelled Neville. He stood up and yanked Snapes' sleeve downwards, before taking his place with Hermione again.

'Mr Longbottom?'

'SHUT UP!' yelled Hermione.

Severus spun around, whipped his wand out, and took a deep breath, before something latched around his neck. Two hands could just be seen within his line of vision. 'Get off!' he said in a raspy voice. 'NOOO!' came a high-pitched voice. Severus' knees buckled as something collided with the back of them. His eyes squeezed shut as his head hit the wooden floor. 'You were gonna blow it up!' came Nevilles' voice.

A bang could be heard from the bedrooms.

Severus opened his eyes to see a head of bushy brown hair infront of him. Little prickles were beginning to be felt in the corner of his eyes, he reached behind his head and looked at his hand, which was covered in blood. He'd suffered worse from his Deatheater meetings. Severus took a deep breath and stood quicker than the two students thought possible. He directed his wand downwards. 'Expelliarmus! Expelliarmus!' The students watched in horror as their TV was destroyed. 'Stupefy!'

'Noooo!' yelled Neville, he started to cry. A crumpled heap at his teachers' feet.

Hermione, was filled with more vigour, and planted both hands around Snapes neck.

'Get off!' he spluttered. Somehow, Severus managed to stumble into the kitchen, throwing stunning spells over his head, only grazing Granger. From the living room, he could hear Draco had come in and was laughing at Longbottom. A hand slapped Snape around the face and he dropped his wand. He threw himself to the floor, and managed to flip Granger over his back. '

'MISS GRANGER, REFRAIN YOURSELF PLEASE!'

A hand came to the other side of Severus' face and clawed at him, 'This girl can fight!' thought Snape.

'NO! I WON'T! I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT EPISODE BEFORE, IT'S THE ONLY FORM OF ENTERTAINMENT IN THIS-THIS SHED, AND YOU GO AND BLOW UP THE DAMN THING SO I CAN'T EVEN USE IT! WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM? DO YOU LIVE TO ANNOY OTHERS? IS THAT IT?'

Hermione reached around and started to strangle Snape, moments before Cammie and Jacey came through the door. Brilliant. One of them knocked Hermione out, and took her into the living room, the other knelt down next to Snape and muttered a spell. He felt his vision clearing and could breath again.
