Severus Snape paced down the corridor. His head hurt and the lump had turned purple, but he refuse to see Madam Pomfrey, he couldn't believe there was Potter spawn in his house.
Snape stopped and slid into the shadows of a nearby alcove when he heard footsteps. Catching some student out of bed on the first night would make him feel better. Then he heard the hissing.
The hair on the back of his neck stood up and his left arm began to ache as he recognized the sounds of Parseltongue. He stood rooted to the floor as two small children stopped just short of his hiding place.
He recognized them and as he was about to step out, when he again heard footsteps. From the opposite direction this time came the other four Potter spawn.
"Stop with the Parseltongue. Remember dad said not to let anyone know. It could wreck his plans. After all we don't want him being accused of being a Dark Lord, even if the Mums say he's a demon," said James.
"Oh, Jamie you're such a wet blanket. There isn't anyone around they're all snug in their beds," spoke Cedric.
"You're the one supposed to mind all the rules you Hufflepuff," snarked Remus.
"Look, now is not the time to argue," said Rose, "We got into the houses we wanted. The plan is going good. It really would have been suspicious if we'd all gone into Slytherin. Did the hat suggest any place other than Slytherin for anyone?"
"It really didn't seem to care by the time it got to me," smirked Violet.
"I really had to fight for Hufflepuff," said Cedric. "But I just said I didn't want to share a house or quidditch team with the rest of you."
Snape listened to the conversation with growing horror. Potter becoming a dark lord was what Albus had feared but if he was a demon that explained quite a lot and meant that these children were demon spawn.
"Well, I say we find the bathroom and open the Chamber, I want to get some sleep sometime to night."
As a group they turned and Snape saw six pairs of glowing green eyes.
The Potter children didn't seem to hear the muffled thump of a body hitting the floor as they walked down the corridor glancing at their identical pieces of parchment.
"What is it Poppy?" asked Minerva McGonagall as she entered the infirmary in her dressing gown.
"Filch found Severus passed out in the third floor corridor. When I brought him around he was hysterical. All I got was something about the dark lord, demon spawn and quidditch. I gave him a calming draught and dreamless sleep."
"Well, let me know when he wakes. I suppose I'll have to have a talk with him. Honestly you'd think he'd realize that no dark lord it going to rise as long a Harry Potter is the Head of the Auror Department."
