Chapter 4
Task mix up his potion bottles,
Remus shook his head, "that's not even original, peter"
"but it'll annoy snivellus all the same" Sirius laughed.
James grinned, "we're making sweetening potions tomorrow morning, what if we mix them up so that he'll make a love potion instead. He'll have to drink the potion to analyse it after all"
"why do I have the feeling this will all end in tears?" Remus groaned...
"well…" Fred Weasley said, "its okay and it'll annoy him but it really isn't that great a task."
"tha lion was better" George said, "heh… you're so sexy when you think you're going insane"
Fred laughed, "You're the flower of my life"
Angelina walked past them and frowned, "I'm just going to keep on walking… okay boys?" she said and backed away still frowning.
Fred was not perving on her. And he wasn't thinking about kissing her either... okay maybe he was a little bit, but he definitely didn't have a crush on her.
George snuck the map out of his brother's pocket and opened it up, "I solemnly swear I am up to no good"
Thin spidery writing curled across the page, George scrolled to the dungeon, Snape was nowhere in sight, he had taken the weekend off. The Weasley twins took their chance and ducked into the potions stores.
It took half an hour for them to swap all the potions bottles around, dinner was just being called when they finished, Snape had returned.
Fred froze, as the potions masters robes swam past the store cupboard. George grinned and pulled out his wand, on the other side of the dungeons a massive bookcase teetered, it looked ready to fall over anyway and George only had to give it a nudge. It thundered towards the floor, Snape muttered curses under his breath and the twins took the opportunity to run.
They arrived in the great hall puffing, Katie bell looked at them as they sat down and grinned, "what did you do?" she asked. Angelina frowned at them.
"probably losing more points for Gryffindor"
Fred laughed at her, "can't we be hungry in peace, we didn't want to miss dinner alright?"
This was proven to the girls by George stomach rumbling right on cue,
"nice one" Fred whispered through his teeth.
Severus tossed the ingredients into the cauldron a little more carelessly than he would usually had done, James was making him so angry. He slammed the last ingredient in, A pointed stone, it was curiously in the shape of a tooth, 'hmm, sweet tooth' the irony was not lost on him. He stirred it twice more to the left and waited for it to cool before bottling it and looking over at James and his cronies, Sirius had stolen Willis' tie and had it tied round his shaggy black hair ninja style, laughing loudly James pulled off his own which was nevr done up properly anyway and tied it around his head, lily evans growled at him. "you're an idiot potter"
James grinned and pulled a karate style pose, "I'm a turtle" he said and karate chopped the cinnamon branch that Lupin held out ready to be put in the potion. Snape slammed his book shut and went to talk to MacHorn.
Snape chugged down the hangover potion he had just made after having fixed up the bookcase, and frowned when it didn't work as quickly s it usually did. He had drank a lot though so he shrugged and swept down to dinner. He was only halfway there when he ran into madam Hooch. He had nevr noticed before exactly how pretty her eyes were, he smiled a little and steadied her.
"uh thankyou Severus, you startled me" she said roughly and continued on her way. Snape eyes followed her, entranced by the way her thin hips moved when she walked.
Kelly Duchess ran into severus in the library that afternoon and was instantly complimented on her assignment which flitwick had read to the class, she pulled back and frowned, Snape didn't compliment anyone. He then tried hugging her before she left. She awkwardly hugged him since he was so insistent then ran out of the library; ignoring madam pince's cry of annoyance- she was going to throttle James potter. And then when she was finished she was going to do it again, she was the one put with the blame for their lion prank during Christmas since the boys were all at James's house. And now she was being punished again…
Snape came out of dinner a little disappointed; madam hooch hadn't even made an appearance. He smiled fro the second time that night, and raced off to find that 1897 chardonnay that he had hidden in his office. He had the feeling she would like that very much.
Snape woke up the next morning in madam hooch's bed. Dumbledore was going to kill him, this was not appropriate behaviour for a teacher. Images of Hooch from only hours before reverberated in his mind and he shuddered, what on earth had possessed him to do that. He rolled out of bed and struggled to keep from retching. He pulled on his robes and ran for the teachers bathroom, knowing full well it would be all over Hogwarts within an hour. He had the image of Dumbledore strangling him with a string of lemon drop wrappers.
George Weasley feel out of bed as ron shook him, "guess what!" the youngest Weasley boy exclaimed "Snape-slept-with-hooch-because-someone-dosed-him-on-a-love-potion-and-hooch-is-pregnant-and-dumbledore-is-sooooooooooooooooooooooo mad!"
George rubbed his eyes and looked at Fred, Ginny was sitting on him relating the same story.
Fred stared at her. " but mummy I don't even like omelettes" and promptly rolled over, making Ginny fall off him, and went back to sleep.
Kelly stormed into the common room and glared at James. He tilted his head and grinned impishly, he had no idea what had happened, at that moment a thin scraggly brown owl flapped through the window and landed a note in front of him, James picked it up and read it,
My dear Kelly,
i think youre wonderful,
meet me in the third corridor at
midnight I have a surprise for you
I think you will like it, (hint hint)
Your own severus.
James and Sirius burst out laughing, and soon enough peter joined in. Remus looked slightly offended, Kelly noticed. She glared at James. "this is the lowest thing you have ever done potter!"she shouted at him and tossed the owl at him. It screeched and dove away, scratching his nose in the process. Kelly didn't balk at the thin line of blood across his face instead she continued her rant. "You get your sorry butt down to slugworth's office now and explain what you did and fix this up! Now! Move!" to kelly's surprise Remus pushed James to his feet and half way out the door, "you too Sirius black! Go!"
Snape glared at his potions store and instantly knew that someone had been tampering, he had never been too drunk to mess up a hangover cure, and as for the idea that hooch was pregnant, he had laced that wine years ago, in a time when he had expected things like that to happen.
George pushed Ron and Ginny from the room and walked over to Fred, "maybe that wasn't the smartest thing to do" he said shaking his brother awake again. Fred grinned, "but check out the next one," he said pushing the map over so George could see it. George glanced at it and laughed, "that is going to be the most fun in the world!" he gasped in between bursts of laughter.
