Severus Snape's Roommate- Chapter the Second

Youko Kurama was once again quite annoyed. The 'assistant headmistress' had dropped him off at the stairs to the dungeons and left him to find his own way to where ever he was to be going.

That had been over an hour ago. He was now completely and utterly lost and he had no hopes of getting back.

'Hmm... Haven't I already passed that statue... Yeah, I've seen that painting before...'

It had not, of course, occurred to him to ask one of the pictures for directions, as he was not familiar with the Wizard way of life. He stopped short of yet another booby trap in the floor and growled with the annoyance that very few have ever rivaled. He was about ready to swear that he was going to kill whomever he found next, when he met someone he couldn't very well kill.

Peeves.

"Oh, look here! What do we have here, a foxy boy?"

"Who are you, craven mor- ghost?"

"I am Peeves, ickle teacher. Poltergeist extraordinaire am I."

Pause.

"Look, you perchance give me instructions to a Severus Snape's room?"

"Maybe... but I won't say nothin' if you don't say please."

"Peeves..."

"Say ple-ase!"

"... Please?"

Silence.

"Are you going to tell me or not?"

"I said I was to say nothin' if you said please," the ghost said innocently.

"I'm going to KILL you!"

"Catch me first!"

With this, Peeves promptly flew through one of the walls before the insane youkai could cause him any harm.

The next person Youko came upon was quite shocked at the language the demon was using.
