The Slumber Party in Snape's Office
Chapter 5
"Compromising Positions"
--------------------------

Author's Notes: This is the final chapter for Mourn-Today. This was the most fun I had writing a story for an online pal. In fact, this story was the reason I came up with the idea for writing B-Day fics for my friends. May you all enjoy the oddly fitting ending to the Slumber Party in Snape's Office.

Artimis shakily bent over and placed her right hand on the yellow dot by her foot. The other girls followed suit and they all were dizzy and it was apparent. Professor Lupin spun the arrow again.

"Left foot blue." He declared and the girls all looked across the board at the blue dots. Alexis moved first and then Erica and Vicky put their foot on the dot. Artimis moved her foot over to it and set it down, nearly falling.

"Smooth move." Alexis laughed, crouching low to the ground.

"Right foot green." Professor Lupin called out. The girls all put their foot in front of the one on the blue dot. They all resembled track runners in the position they were in.

"What the bloody hell are you doing now?" Professor Snape asked, walking out the door.

"Playing Twister. It's a contortionist game. You have to play next round. We dare you to." Vicky spoke laughingly. Artimis chuckled and then burped loudly. She quickly reached up and covered her mouth.

"Sorry, Excuse me." Artimis blushed, putting her hand back down.

"You're excused. Left hand red." Lupin informed and they all put their left hands on the red dot.

"Left foot yellow." He spoke and they all groaned. They all placed their foot on the yellow dot, almost going into the splits, no one touching the ground.

"Right hand blue." Professor Lupin spoke to them. The girls crossed their arms as they touched the blue dots. Artimis sighed and sat down on the mat.

"I'm out this round." She spoke, getting up and standing by Professor Snape, who was nursing another goblet.

"Chicken." Alexis spoke as Artimis looked to Snape, who was glaring with disgust as he rubbed the braids on the back of his head.

"What is the point of this game?" He asked her, not looking at her.

"Like most games, to have fun." She replied, stretching slightly and yawning. Artimis looked over at the clock, seeing that it was near five am. She snickered and watched as Alexis won, declaring herself the undefeated champion. Artimis had to change that.

"Come on, Professor Snape, we dared you." Vicky spoke gestured for him to join the girls on the mat. He grumbled and walked over kicking off his boots.

"Lose the cloak, you'll trip us all." Erica spoke and he angrily tossed it aside.

"Let's get this over with." He sighed and Professor Lupin began spinning the arrow.

The game started out easy and everybody was having a good time, well except for Snape, but who cared. The game slowly got complicated, the alcohol making the girls slow and clumsy. Professor Lupin looked at the scene before him and laughed. Artimis was in a high backbend, Alexis under her in a similar backbend. Vicky and Erica were side by side under Alexis and they were looming over Snape, who had broken a sweat and had a look of grim determination on his face. They all had mere inches between them. Artimis blinked her eyes and yawned loudly.

"Guys, I'm feeling Nappy." Artimis spoke, her arms quivering.

"Don't even Callabella." Snape grunted lowly below them.

"I'm trying not to, do you think your yelling is helping?" Artimis asked, sighing as she shook her head.

"Artimis please don't pass out. He wasn't yelling dear." Alexis spoke warily, yawning herself.

"Ok." Artimis whispered, yawning quietly. They all stood like that in silence as Lupin spun the arrow. Artimis blinked and then passed out, loosing her footing, collapsing on to Alexis. Alexis fell on Erica and Vicky and Professor Snape didn't have enough time to get out of the way as all four girls fell on him. He hit his head on the stone floor, knocking him unconscious. Erica and Vicky fell on top of him and the alcohol knocked them out. Alexis followed suit, shoving Artimis off as she passed out. Professor Lupin laughed, watching for Severus to get up. When he didn't Remus drunkenly got up and walked over to Snape's head, to find him out cold. Professor Lupin began walking back to the chair when he himself passed out, more from exhaustion then the drinks, falling next to the pile of people.

---------------------------

The door to Professor Snape's office opened quickly, a flustered Professor McGonagall charging in.

"Severus, are you alright, you missed br-" She spoke, choking at the scene before her. Professor Lupin lay with his head lulled back and Alexis Whyte and Vicky Adkins cuddled in each arm. Professor Snape lay with Artimis Callabella wrapped protectively in his arms and Erica Barton lay over all of them, her arms Wrapped around Professor Snape's waist with his cloaks over all of them. Professor Snape's black hair was braided tightly in what looked to be dreadlocks and it could be scene that Professor Lupin had nail polish on.

"Oh my, I must get the Headmaster." Professor McGonagall spoke, taking the scene for the worst possible situation and rushing off.

----------------------------

Headmaster Dumbledore walked into Severus's office, Professor McGonagall in two. He looked down on the scene with the all-knowing twinkle in his eyes.

"See Headmaster, this is obviously inappropriate." She spoke, her lips pursed angrily.

"Nonsense Minerva. Looks like there was a slumber party we simply were not invited to." Dumbledore spoke, walking toward Professor Lupin's head. He kneeled down and pushed back his spectacles.

"Professor Lupin, Wake up." He spoke and Remus opened his eyes, yawning. He looked up at Dumbledore and then down the two sleeping girls in his arms and the one laying over him.

"This can be explained." He informed nervously, crawling out from under them.

"I am sure." Dumbledore spoke, moving over to Severus.

"Professor Snape, Wake up." Dumbledore spoke and Severus growled at him. Dumbledore laughed and drew his wand.

"Enervate." He cast and everyone awoke quickly, very sober. Professor Snape awoke and backed away from Artimis in a near panic. She yawned and kicked Erica, who yelped.

"Headmaster, we were locked in here with these, these annoying children, who cast a spell on us, that we had to do whatever they 'Truth or Dare'd us to do, or we'd lose our magic abilities for a week." Snape hissed, snatching his cloaks from Erica.

"It's not like we snuck up on you and cast it on you, you let us." Artimis declared offended at his statements that made them out to be the bad guys.

"Severus, what did you do to your... um... hair" Minerva asked, snickering. Professor Snape reached up and ran a hand through his tight braids.

"Bloody Girls. They did it to me." He growled, standing and glaring at them with intense hatred. He pointed to the door and looked down at Lupin and the girls.

"OUT!" He yelled and the girls got up laughing and Lupin got up, following them as the girls ran ahead.

"You know Alexis, we really need to find the twins and thank them for the lock." Artimis spoke and the girls all looked at her in mild shock.

"Yeah, I knew all along. " She spoke as they ran off, ready to brag about their Slumber Party in Snape's Office.

Yep, thats the end... Hope you all enjoyed it...
