Chapter 18: How Dare You!
Anne raced up the steps from the dungeons with a speed that startled everyone that she passed and she even managed to amaze Severus, who was having a hard time keeping up with her.
" Anne! Anne, hold on!" he yelled after her, but soon lost sight of her.
He slowed down when he realized that he hadn't even been able to tell her the password to the headmaster's office.
He walked slowly, knowing that Anne was going to be irritated at him for taking so long.
Anne was panting as she stood in front Dumbledore's office and had repeatedly kicked the gargoyle in frustration. Now she stood there, glaring at the statue. She had never asked for the password from her father, she being in such a hurry to stop Dumbledore from doing something that he would regret.
Anne turned when she heard footsteps and saw Harry running up to where she was.
" Anne, you ran by like the world was ending. What the hell is wrong?" He asked, stopping next to her.
" Dumble…. Dumbledore trying to makes family leave. Can't…let him do it." Anne finally regained her composure and was once again glaring at the gargoyle.
" What? The stupid old man really has a death wish huh? You gonna go up?" He said. Anne nodded.
" I just don't know the bloody password." Anne growled.
" Try 'gummie worms'." Said a voice behind them.
" Thanks, dad." Anne answered, turning around to face the man, who held a smirk on his face.
" Well, now I thought it was funny." He shrugged.
Anne glared at him before turning back to the gargoyle and said the password.
It leapt open and the three walked up the spiral staircase to the oak door and Anne heard raised voices inside and decided to go in, never mind the fact that she hadn't even knocked.
Anne stood in the doorway to see everyone but Dumbledore on his feet. Finbar and Conor were closest to the door and was so far the only on to notice the three newcomers. Jamie, Jason, Drak, Tucker and Meagan were in front of the headmaster, looking at the old man with a fierceness that would make even soldier tremble. In deed, behind his mask, there was a show of fear.
" Albus, why do you think you can send us away without Anne's approval?" Jamie said, his hands in tight fists.
" You shouldn't listen to a child. She knows nothing of leadership." Dumbledore answered.
Tucker stood straight up and Anne had a hard time suppressing a giggle at the anger pouring off the older elf.
" A child who knows nothing of leadership? HOW DARE YOU! Anne has seen and done more leadership then could have possibly imagine. We listen to her because she has given us nothing but love and respect so we give her the same."
" Lord Tucker, you and your family will leave this castle as soon as possible." Dumbledore said, as if Tucker never spoke.
Anne watched and steadily, her anger grew.
' How dare he.'
' You gonna do something about it?'
' You think I am going to sit around while he tries to run my life, Finbar?'
' No, never milady. Do what you wish.'
' I plan to.'
Anne took a deep breath and closed her eyes and at once, in a slight whisper, a song played.
"Cut my life into pieces
This is my last resort
Suffocation, no breathing
Don't give a fuck if I cut my arm bleeding
This is my last resort"
" Albus Dumbledore, my family will not leave unless I give the nod, and I have yet to do that. My family has business here." Anne said, startling the group, who swiftly turned around.
" What business?" He asked.
"Cut my life into pieces
I've reached my last resort
Suffocation, no breathing
Don't give a fuck if I cut my arm bleeding
Do you even care if I die bleeding
Would it be wrong, would it be right?
If I took my life tonight, chances are that I might
Mutilation out of sight and I'm contemplating suicide
Cause I'm losing my sight, losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Losing my sight, losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine"
" Headmaster, Anne was poisoned on the day the students came back from break. It was in here cup alone and no one else's. So, it was deemed necessary to call her family here." Severus said, coming up behind her and laying a hand on Anne's shoulder.
' Thanks, dad.'
' No problem, love. You see that fear in his eyes? I can break his shields now. He did it.'
' I knew that. But, thanks for the proof.'
"I never realized I was spread too thin
Till it was too late and I was empty within
Hungry, feeding on chaos and living in sin
Downward spiral, where do I begin
It all started when I lost my mother
No love for myself and no love for another
Searching to find a love upon a higher level
Finding nothing but questions and devils
Cause I'm losing my sight, losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Losing my sight, losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Nothing's alright, nothing is fine
I'm running and I'm crying
I'm crying, I'm crying
I'm crying, I'm crying
I can't go on living this way
Cut my life into pieces
This is my last resort
Suffocation, no breathing
Don't give a fuck if I cut my arm bleeding
Would it be wrong, would it be right?
If I took my life tonight, chances are that I might
Mutilation out of sight and I'm contemplating suicide"
" You son of a bitch. You did it!" Harry screamed at the headmaster, taking everyone in the room by surprise.
" Whatever do you mean, Harry?" Dumbledore asked, standing up and moved around the desk to walk to him. But Harry backed up and the others moved in so that they were block
" I can see it! Your mind shields are weak and I easily broke through them! I can see the truth! You poisoned my sister!" Harry snarled at him.
Dumbledore looked like he could throttle him but he restrained himself.
" Harry, I don't know what you are talking about, but it needs to stop. You are not strong enough to be able to occlude so don't bluff." He responded coldly.
" It was mentioned last year that the pain in my scar may be from Voldemort and it was brought up that I didn't know how to bloke my mind. So I did research and I figured out it was called Occluding. I even asked Draco Malfoy for help, which he strangely agreed to help. But right now, I can and I haven't had a vision cense. I am also a skilled Legenioms.((A/N: I have no idea how to spell the word for the power to tell when someone is lying, so any help is welcome)), so you can quite lying, Professor." Harry finished and walked over by Anne.
" How dare you call me a liar, Harry Potter!" Dumbledore stood, and glared at Anne.
" James Potter was right. You did taint Harry, just a lot later then he thought." He said icily.
"Cause I'm losing my sight, losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Losing my sight, losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Nothings all right, nothing is fine
I'm running and I'm crying
Nothings all right, nothing is fine
Cant go on, living this way
Nothings alright"
Anne would have lunged at the old man if Severus was not holding her back, but he was restraining himself as well. It seemed Jamie knew not the meaning.
"What did you just say about my sister?" Jamie raged at the man, Drak holding him back.
" Jamie, you heard him. He thinks I am trash. Oh, Dumbledore, don't worry; I wont let them kill you. Not just yet." Anne glared at the old man.
" But I am warning you, you old coot. Bugger off, or you will know the meaning of pain." Finbar's voice said behind her, causing her to smirk.
" Best watch it old man. When Finbar threatens, he means business."
Anne turned and walked out of the office, the group following.
a few weeks later
Dumbledore had been kicked out of his job because the Board of Governors didn't believe him capable of protecting the school now that the Chamber of Secrets is open once again. Hagrid was taken to the wizard prison, but Anne had no clue why, but that didn't stop her form enjoying a Dumbledork free environment.
Anne was walking to breakfast when she heard a sound behind her, causing her to stop.
" Well, well if it isn't the snake in the griffon's nest."
Anne turned and saw Ron Weasley, Seamus Finnegan, and Lavender Brown standing there, glaring at Anne, wands out.
" What do you want, Weasley?" Anne asked, gathering a little fire magic in her hands.
" Why to take care of the traitor. Nothing more, nothing less. You turned Harry against us!" Ron said, advancing forward, only to stop when he saw that Anne wasn't moving.
" Really? You think that I am going to be taken down by some second year losers?" Anne said coolly, nonchalantly picking at her fingernail.
" Really and what are you? A lowly first year." Seamus said, anger lacing the words.
" Oh, I am beyond my years in magic, Mr. Finnegan." Anne responded, looking up.
" Your bluffing!" Ron yelled out.
" Try me."
Anne said, breathing deep and releasing the song built up in her.
"I woke up in a dream today
To the cold of the static, and put my cold feet on the floor
Forgot all about yesterday
Remembering I'm pretending to be where I'm not anymore
A little taste of hypocrisy
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake, slow to react
Even though you're so close to me
You're still so distant, and I can't bring you back"
They launched a series of spells that were blocked by bursts of flames that seemed to come out of nowhere.
" You should know, Ronald, that I am not even using a fourth of my power. I could do this all day, but it seems cannot. Just mere mortal you are." Anne laughed as Ron set out another wave of attacks, as did the others.
"It's true
The way I feel
Was promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if you're not with me
I'm with you
You
Now I see
Keeping everything inside
You
Now I see
Even when I close my eyes
I hit you and you hit me back
We fall to the floor, the rest of the day stands still
Fine line between this and that
When things go wrong I pretend the past isn't real
Now I'm trapped in this memory
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake, slow to react
Even though you're close to me
You're still so distant, and I can't bring you back
It's true
The way I feel
Was promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if you're not with me
I'm with you
You
Now I see
keeping everything inside
You
Now I see
Even when I close my eyes
You
Now I see
keeping everything inside
You
Now I see
Even when I close my eyes
No, no matter how far we've come
I can't wait to see tomorrow
No matter how far we've come
I can't wait to see tomorrow
with you
You
Now I see
keeping everything inside
You
Now I see
Even when I close my eyes
You
Now I see
keeping everything inside
You
Now I see
Even when I close my eyes
You
Now I see
keeping everything inside
you
now I see
even when I close my eyes "
Ron sent a stunner and it hit Anne in the arm.
" Damn it! I let my fire down for one second." Anne whispered.
' Anne, are you done showing off?'
' I haven't even sweated, but yes I am done.'
' Good, because I was growing itchy with the urge to bust them.'
" Damn it, Ron. What kind of stunner was that?" Anne asked, baiting the boy.
" Why? Can't undo it? Some witch you are." Ron sneered at her.
" No, it was just really weak." Anne responded, shacking the now stun- free arm.
" Mr. Weasley, Mr. Finnegan, Ms. Brown. What are you doing?" Severus's voice said behind the three, who all predictably jumped.
" Professor! I… we…we were defending ourselves! She attacked us!"
Severus glanced up at Anne, who was smirking at the back of Ron's head.
" Oh, I highly doubt that Mr. Weasley. 20 house points from each of you for attacking Ms. Snape in the hallway." Severus sneered as the three students stood there in shook at the use of 'Ms. Snape' on Harry Potter's little sister.
Then there was someone there that Ron didn't want.
" You attacked my sister, Ron?" Came Harry's voice behind Anne, who turned.
" Morning, Harry." Anne said, smiling at him.
" Morning, Anne." He responded, his eyes still locked on Ron.
" How could you, man? You're my best mate. Your not supposed to attack my little sister in the hallway!" Harry yelled.
" She is a traitor! How can you stand by here knowing that?" Ron yelled back.
" How is she a traitor?"
" She is not living in the tower, she has been helping Malfoy, and she is SNAPES DAUGHTER! What other proof do you need? Did you know that she was Snape's daughter?"
" Actually yes I did and I got to be the lucky one in being the third person of knowing she was going to take her father's name; the first two being them." Harry growled at him, causing Ron to flinch back.
Anne was amazed at one thing.
" Ron, how did you know I was helping Draco?"
" Easy enough. Just follow you whenever you left the tower, that was the orders and report your every move."
" No doubt Dumbledork's work. Bloody bastard." Anne whispered.
" Dad, I should leave before I cleave his head off. If you need me I will be outside." Anne walked off without glancing back, calling Conor as she walked out.
" Is it any wonder why I'm scared,
If I was a little younger would I
care,
feeling like the walls are growing stronger,
i don't know if this cage can hold me any longer
you never dreamed you'd have to love your life so guarded,
cause they'll find a way to make you feel discarded
I'm not afraid of tomorrow,
I'm only scared of myself,
feels like my insides are on fire, and I'm looking through the eyes of someone else
I never thought they'd want me to go even faster,
never thought i took my foot off the gas,
everybody loves to be in on the pressure,
but i know they're all waiting for the crash
you never dreamed you'd have to live your life so guarded,
cause they'll find a way to make you feel discarded,
things have changed you've become a complication,
can make it through another days
humiliation
I'm not afraid of tomorrow,
i only scared of myself,
feels like my insides are on fire and I'm looking through the eyes of someone else
someone else...
is it any wonder why the answer keeps me petrified ,
is it any wonder why ,
I'm scared..."
" Anne?"
His voice was distant and she barely heard it.
" Anne, its dinner time."
Again she tried to go to the voice but was held back.
"It seems like every day's the same
and I'm left to discover on my own
It seems like everything is gray
and there's no color to behold
They say it's over and I'm fine again, yeah
Try to stay sober feels like I'm dying here
And I am aware now of how
everything's gonna be fine one day
Too late, I'm in hell I am prepared now,
seems everyone's gonna be fine
One day too late, just as well
I feel the dream in me expire
and there's no one left to blame it on
I hear you label me a liar
'cause I can't seem to get this through
You say it's over, I can sigh again, yeah
Why try to stay sober when I'm dying here
And I am aware now of how
everything's gonna be fine one day
Too late, I'm in hell
I am prepared now,
seems everyone's gonna be fine
One day too late; just as well
And I'm not scared now.
I must assure you,
you're never gonna get away
And I'm not scared now.
And I'm not scared now. No…
I am aware now of how
everything's gonna be fine one day
Too late, I'm in hell
I am prepared now
seems everyone's gonna be fine
One day too late, just as well
I am prepared now,
seems everything's gonna be fine for me
For me; for myself.
For me, for me, for myself
For me, for me, for myself"
" ANNE LILLIAN SNAPE!"
Anne's eyes snapped open, but they were still red. She had never been brought back so fast from the deep trance of her meditation.
" Dad, back off. Right now, back up like twenty feet." Anne's vice sounded like it was multiple voices and Severus backed up.
Anne shut her eyes and drew a deep breath and let the song out.
"This was an accident
Not the kind where sirens sound
Never even noticed
We're suddenly crumbling
Tell me how you've never felt
Delicate or innocent
Do you still have doubts that
Us having faith makes any sense
Tell me nothing ever counts
Lashing out or breaking down
Still somebody loses 'cause
There's no way to turn around
Staring at your photograph
Everything now in the past
Never felt so lonely I
Wish that you could show me love
Show me love, show me love, show me love,
Show me love, show me love
'Til you open the door
Show me love, show me love, show me
love,
Show me love, show me love,
'Til I'm up off the floor
Show me love, show me love show me love,
Show me love, show me love,
'Til it's inside my pores
Show me love, show me love, show me love,
Show me love, show me love,
'Til I'm screaming for more
Random acts of mindlessness
Commonplace occurrences
Chances and surprises
Another state of consciousness
Tell me nothing ever counts
Lashing out or breaking down
Still somebody loses 'cause
There's no way to turn around
Tell me how you've never felt
Delicate or innocent
Do you still have doubts that
Us having faith makes any sense
You play games, I play tricks
Girls and girls, but you're the one
Like a game of pick-up sticks
Played by fucking lunatics
Show me love, show me love
Give me all that I want
Show me love, Show me love
'Til I'm screaming for more"
Anne opened her eyes when the song ended and a spiral of flames surrounded before disappearing again.
" Ok, dad. It's safe to be near me." Anne said, looking up at him.
As soon as he was close enough, Anne stood up and glared at him.
" Don't do that again. To bring me to fast back from my trance could not only hurt you, but me as well. I was lucky enough that I was only below the surface of conciseness when you yanked me from it."
Severus looked appalled but sat down on the rock she was not 3 minutes ago.
" I am sorry, Anne." He said, staring up at her.
" I know, dad. But promise me that you will wait next time." Anne said, sitting down next Severus.
" Of course. Now come on. It's time for dinner."
" Already? Wow, I have been out here all day? Damn, that was some trance. It was weird."
" How so?"
" It was like I was merged with the air and fire around here. But I am guessing it has to do with my elemental powers." Anne responded, leaning into his side on the way up to the school.
They were almost there when a loud voice was booming through the school.
"All students will please report to their common rooms. All Staff, please meet in the staff room."
" Dad, what could it be? Could it be another attack?" Anne asked him, worry overcoming her eyes.
" I don't know, love, but get back to the dungeons, now!" Severus looked down at her and saw that she was tense.
" Don't worry. I am sure it's nothing." He kissed her forehead and ran off to the staff room, while Anne had a very different direction then the dungeons.
Anne turned and headed off towards the Gryffindor tower.
She was halfway there when she ran past the third floor corridor. There was a new shining on the wall. Anne walked forward and felt her heart clenched when she saw what was written.
Written on blood under the message from Halloween were eight words, shining bright in the flickering candlelight:
Her body will lie in the chamber forever
((A/N: Oh cliffy! And this also means that we are oh so close to the end! No (SOB) no it cant be! (glares at bugs all over screen) WHERE ARE YOU COMING FROM! (gets out killer bug spray) oh sry, pest problem! Stupid bugs wont leave em alone!))
