A/N: No way a new reviewer! 'do a little dance, get down tonight!' Sorry about that, but I am totally happy! Thank you Emrisah for being a faithful reviewer, you get a James plushie doll! Sorry for the delay, I had an evil amount of homework! (1000 word report on the tsunamis, S.S./E.L.A. project worth 25 percent of this terms grade, a tsunami project, and a totally worthless life skills project that I'll never use in real life!)
Chapter four: What if Hell Froze OverAfter the boys explained the whole episode at the pitch, it seemed there were mixed emotions. (To put it lightly.)
"Sirius, why did you have to provoke her?" Andromeda said anxiously. "She may not show her temper like Lily, (Lily through a scathing look at Andromeda.) But, well, Jen has some anger issues."
"I think it's because…I think she tries to…I think maybe she isn't exactly who we think she is." Lily said haltingly, like someone trying to explain to James why Lily thinks he's a conceited prat.
"Remus, did you say anything to upset her previously?" Andromeda asked.
"No, or at least I don't think so." He said rather distantly.
"James you seem to have made the whole thing worse! She hates people intervening!" Lily accused.
"Once again it's my fault! How is it that you always manage to place the blame on me?" He returned heatedly.
"Well, probably because it practically always is your fault!" The argument was getting ugly and both were reaching for their wands. Immediately Remus and Andromeda stunned their friends.
Surprisingly enough, Hannah stayed quiet through the whole ordeal. She knew something they didn't, she knew why Jen felt the way she did. But Hannah had been sworn to secrecy. If only they knew.
Just then Jen burst through the portrait. Her cheeks were red and her hair was wildly windswept, they could tell she'd been on her broom.
"I fancied a ride since I missed practice." She said as though she hadn't been missing for the past four hours.
"Are you okay?" Sirius asked timidly.
"Oh, yeah. I don't what came over me." Jen replied vaguely, waving her hand slightly. "What happened to Lily and James?"
"Forceful restraint for their own good." Remus said, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips.
"Is that the time?" Hannah exclaimed looking at the wall clock. "I have to get to the Library!" Then she was suddenly gone.
"Here's 5 galleons, now give me the damn book!" Hannah said.
"Very well, I suppose it's yours now." Snape said disdainfully. Hannah grabbed the book and sat down across from him. "What are you doing Lerona?" He asked coldly.
"Reading. What else have I to do? Lily and James are sure to be at it again; Jen's sulking, and Andromeda and Sirius are most likely off in a broom closet. After this you'll never have to deal with me again. It's only fair that we both hold up our ends of the bargain."
"Never again?" Did she detect a hint of regret in his voice?
"Never. That is unless you don't want that…"
"Lerona, why in the name of Salazar Slytherin would you say that?"
"I don't know…maybe it was because I heard regret in your voice! But, you know, I could be wrong." She said giving him a mysterious glance.
Snape pretended to read a message. "Really…oh…okay. Nope, sorry. Hell didn't freeze over." He said curtly.
"Now that's not very nice, Snape. How can you say you don't like me, when you hardly even know me?"
"So what? Are you saying I should get to know you?" His honey and oil voice was back.
"Maybe I am." Hannah replied smoothly.
"Fine. This table, Tuesday, after dinner." Snape said hurriedly.
"Good. See you then." She closed the book, got up, threw a wink in his direction, and walked away.
He didn't even realize that he had gotten nothing out of this recent deal, until he was back to the Slytherin common room.
"I hate Gryffindors." Then with a small smirk, "But after all, she is mostly Slytherin."
A/N Emrisah, you're right about Andromeada but the actual character is Andromeda thankyou though. Tasadidi (is that right?) I'll try my best to update more quickly. Please review, tell your friends about the story…
