Author's note: Hmm. It's defiantly been quite a while since I've updated
this one, and I apologize. But I'm updating it now, so yeah. Anyways, I
don't have too much to say here, other then I hope you enjoy it. Please
remember to review at the end!
-Jmistar688 (in response to your 2 reviews): How can you hate Ally? Poor
Ally! You do know ally is based on a friend's character, right? Lol,
neways..lol, that's funny how he seems like you dad, and it's good that you
like your mom.
-An Anti-Sheep Cheese Muffin (in response to your 4 reviews): lol, yes,
this defiantly does make up for lost reviews. LOL! Ally got Severus'
temper?? I don't see it, but ok. Lol, yes Mrs. Snape has a name, and it's
Caroline, sorry. You find that one out in later chapters, as I'm sure you
found out by now. Ahh, yes, it seems you did, lol.
Chapter 6: A Fun Day Gone Wrong
When they had all finished dinner, they played a few board games
together, until Ally, Selina, and Joey decided to go to sleep. At that
time, The three of them said their goodnights, got ready for bed, and soon
fell asleep in their rooms, giving Severus and Caroline some time with each
other alone.
"How was the school year?" Caroline asked as they sat down on the
couch together.
"The same as always." Severus replied.
Caroline laughed. "It seems never to change."
Severus kissed her on the cheek. "Or perhaps I just don't want to bore
you." He said with a smile.
"Oh well, I suppose I can't force you to talk about it." Caroline replied.
"But anyway, how were the girls' marks? They didn't say much on the
topic."
"They did well- passed with flying colours." Severus replied.
"That's wonderful." Caroline said.
Severus smiled. "They get their brains from you."
"And their temper from you, especially Selina. So we're even." Caroline
said.
Severus sighed. "I'm sorry about what happened with Selina tonight." He
said quietly.
"Hey, it's not your fault." Caroline replied.
"I feel partly responsible though." Severus said.
"But why? You didn't know it was happening." Caroline asked.
"Exactly! If I had been here it may not have happened." Severus
explained.
"Well, you weren't here, and it happened. It may have happened even if you
were here. But it's all in the past now and there's nothing we can do to
change it. So just stop blaming yourself and let's put it behind us."
Caroline said.
Severus pulled her into a hug. "You always know how to make me feel
better."
Caroline laughed. "Well, someone has to. We can't have you being upset
all the time." She said with a yawn.
"Hmm, it's getting late." Severus said, looking at the time.
Caroline nodded. "And it's been quite the long day." She replied.
"Well, we best be getting you off to bed then." Severus said, getting up
and gently pulling Caroline to her feet.
Caroline giggled a bit as she let Severus lead her to their room. Soon
they were both changed and ready for bed, and they crawled into bed,
falling asleep quickly.
The next morning, everyone awoke to a beautiful, warm, sunny summer
day. They all sat down to breakfast together.
"Seeing as it's such a nice day outside, I was thinking we could spend the
day in the forest out back." Caroline said.
"That'd be wonderful mother, just like old times." Ally replied, nudging
Selina.
"Oww, not so hard. What do you want?" Selina asked.
"Like old times." Ally repeated herself, nodding to Joey.
"Oh, so this is one of those traditional things you don't want Joey to be
involved in then?" Selina asked.
Ally nodded.
"Well, that's alright." Joey piped up.
"I won't be joining in either just yet. Unfortunately I have a few things
around here that I need to take care of before I can actually let my summer
begin. Joey, you can give me a hand if you'd like something to do."
Severus said.
Joey nodded. "Alright."
Selina turned and gave a grateful look to her father and an apologetic one
to Joey. Both Joey and Severus nodded in acknowledgement.
After breakfast, Selina, Ally, and Caroline headed out to the
backyard, while Severus and Joey went off elsewhere.
"So, what should we do first?" Caroline asked.
"Hide and seek?" Selina suggested sarcastically with a shrug.
"That's a good idea. We haven't done that since you two were quite young."
Caroline said.
Ally gave Selina an odd look
"Sorry." Selina mouthed in return.
"Well, who should do the seeking?" Caroline asked, not noticing any of
this.
"I nominate Selina." Ally replied quickly.
"Alright, fine. You two go off and hide." Selina replied, turning around
to count. With this, Ally and Caroline quickly headed off into the forest
to hide.
After counting to fifty, Selina went off to look for her mother and
sister. After a while of searching, she heard a scream come from a nearby
clearing.
"Ally?" She called out, running towards the clearing.
As she drew nearer, she heard voices.
"Where's the other one?" One voice demanded.
"We can't find her." Another replied.
At this moment, Selina burst into the clearing. The sight that greeted her
shocked her. Caroline and Ally were stunned and bound, lying on the ground
and surrounded by people in hoods and cloaks, who were now staring at her.
"Ahh, there she is." The first voice stated. "Get her!"
Selina was too shocked to run at first, but soon found her feet as the
cloaked people approached, and she fled from the clearing, heading towards
the house. When she was within sight of the house, the cloaked people gave
up the chase, not wanting to be seen.
Selina entered the house and immediately went to Severus' office.
"Father!" She called out, out of breath, her voice filled with worry.
"What is it, Selina?" Severus asked in concern.
"Mother.and Ally." Selina started, still trying to catch her breath.
"What happened? Did they get hurt?" Severus asked, growing quite
concerned now.
"People.in cloaks. They captured then, and went after me too." Selina
said, starting to calm her breathing.
Severus paled a little. "Where?"
"In the clearing." Selina replied.
Severus pulled a medallion in the shape of the family crest from his pocket
and handed it to Selina.
"I have a feeling this is what they're after. As much as I hate to say it,
I need you to guard this with your life." He said.
Selina nodded and fastened the chain around her neck, tucking the medallion
down the front of her shirt.
"And Joey," Severus added. "Guard her with your life."
Joey nodded nervously.
"Good. Now I want the two of you to stay here. Don't go out unless you
absolutely have to, and defiantly don't let anyone in." Severus said.
Selina and Joey nodded. With that, Severus went out to try and get his
wife and daughter back.
Another author's note: Ok, well, with the medallion thing, maybe I've seen
"Pirates of the Caribbean" one too many times, but it's going to play a
part in the story. And, now that I think about it, it's going to be
somewhat of the same story line too. Oh well- it'll still be kinda
different, lol.
