Chapter 3- A School Outing
Authoress: Gah! This is hard to write!
Snape: Should be for your bloody little mind.
Authoress: Never you mind. I don't own Harry Potter or any ideas, characters, or places, they're all owned by the brilliant writer, J.K. Rowling. Some spells are from Weirdsister College or Worst Witch -shows- that I think that were totally spiffy. Yeah, which leads us to another part of my disclaimer, the ideas from Weirdsister College and Worst Witch ideas and stuff like that are copyrighted by Granada Media Group Ltd., Global Arts Productions Ltd., and Galafilm Productions Inc. Ok? Good.
Warnings: And I warn you all, there are some Ootp spoilers, there is slash, and implied twinscest. So leave now if this isn't your cup of tea ok? Go before you damage your brain permanently.
Archive: Anywhere as long as you get MY PERMISSION to do so.
Harry was heading back to his dormitory to get his occlumency book, and there he saw Hermione and Ron waiting for him there. Hermione was reading her own copy of the occlumency book; that she had bought in Harry's sixth year and Ron was silently fuming to himself. Harry said, "Hey guys."
Ron said, "I can't believe it! You're getting Snape for the rest of the day!"
Hermione offered her opinion, "I think it's a good idea Ron! Harry will become more skilled at occlumency!"
Ron argued, "No it isn't!"
Harry got his books and they left to go eat lunch. They went up to the room of requirement and saw Snape waiting there for Harry. Snape glided forward and sneered, "Ah... So you brought your friends Potter. Come on, I don't have all day. And yes, your friends can stay with you for your first lesson only."
Harry said, "Erm... sir?"
Snape sighed, "What Potter?"
Harry said, "Well, on my list of things to get for the school year it said I needed a Pensieve. I don't have one..."
Snape replied, "Potter, that is exactly what we are going to do for your first lesson. Get you your bloody pensieve. They are fashioned uniquely by wizards or witches who specialize in pensieve making. There is at least one in every country in the world. Which means, that this particular branch of magic isn't studied broadly. We are going to the northern coast of England to get you your pensieve, leave your books here, Potter and Miss. Granger. We're going to Gringotts first and then the north coast."
Hermione listened to this conversation with great interest and asked worriedly, "But sir, don't we have to tell Professor Dumbledore first where we are going?"
Snape replied dryly to Hermione, "Miss. Granger, I have informed Dumbledore of our excursion. Let us be on our way and Mr. Weasley, if you don't want to lose points, hurry up!"
They flooed to Diagon Alley and they made their way to Gringotts the wizarding bank. Harry, Snape, Hermione and Ron went down the carts and made their way to Harry's vault. "Erm... sir?" Harry asked.
Snape said, "What Potter?"
"How much money should I take?" Harry asked, unsure of how much he should take.
"Get 500 galleons and 20 sickles and 5 knuts." Snape ordered.
Harry was mildly shocked at how much money he would need for the pensieve. He took the amount he needed and exited his vault; Snape announced that he needed to go to his vault. He took only 100 galleons form his own personal account and they departed for northern England.
Severus was in the front of the trio, Ron kept on complaining how Snape was unfair and cruel and Hermione kept on telling him to shut up. Harry on the other hand was pretty fascinated by the change in scenery since he had never travelled to other places besides Hogwarts. They arrived at a gate, which was locked, Snape tried alohomora on it and it didn't work. "Sir, why don't we all try casting the spell?" suggested Hermione who observed how Severus failed to open the gate.
Severus growled, "All right... On the count of three. One... Two... Three!"
"Alohomora!" they all muttered.
The gate still didn't open. Harry thought for a while and tried to remember a spell he had seen in the library at Hogwarts to open doors that were magically locked and could only be opened by a spell. "Here let me try." Harry suggested.
Snape said, "Potter, I really doubt your spell casting abilities."
Hermione defended Harry, "I don't know about that Professor."
"Salas portus imperato exipedimus day obstructo!" Harry chanted.
The gate turned into a mauve colour then it transformed into a portal. Ron gasped awe-struck, "Wow, Harry, I didn't know you knew some ancient magic!"
Harry was confused; didn't ancient magic die out or something? "That was ancient magic?" he asked Prof Snape.
Severus was shocked and said, "Yes, it was. It isn't widely used today; the spells still work but have been forgotten over the years. By Merlin, those spells are actually forgotten by most people! Those spells are usually used by those who conceal themselves; hermits living alone, by those who study the ancient spells and arts and they are also used for wizarding ceremonies that are very solemn."
Hermione had her mouth open when the professor was explaining about ancient magic and gasped, "Wow..."
They walked to the hidden hut and knocked on the door. A witch's voice could be heard, "Yes? What brings you here?"
Harry said, "Erm...I'm here to get a pensieve for myself."
Severus growled, "I'm his occlumency teacher with two students who are accompanying "
Hermione and Ron just stood there silent not sure of how to introduce themselves and looked at Professor Snape. The witch let them in her house and smiled at them. "Hello," she said, "I am a pensieve maker as you all know, and this particular art has been taught in my family for centuries. Now... who is the young man who wanted a pensieve?"
Harry stepped forward and the witch took his hand and examined his magical aura, which was blue and green that sparked like electricity. She set to make his pensieve and when it was finished it looked as if the designs were real and were coming to life. The designs were faeries who seemed to be working their magic, nymphs dancing away, dragons soaring into the sky, elves (not house-elves) lurking about, and unicorns trotting about. The witch was paid 500 galleons, they departed back to the nearest wizarding settlement, and that was Diagon Alley.
Soon night was setting and so they ventured off to Diagon Alley. Severus owled the Headmaster to say that they would be staying the night in Diagon Alley. There, they met Fred and George Weasley, who offered to let them stay in their flat. At first, Severus refused, but the trio outvoted him. The twins' flat magically housed more rooms. The bathroom was down the hall of everyone's room. Some people needed to use the bathroom for showering and Harry went first. Snape was reading a book in the living room of the flat, and Fred & George asked him if the bathroom was being used. Severus replied to them, "Harry's using it."
Fred and George were grinning like Chesire Cats and giggled. Severus looked at them as if they were crazy. "We'll be using it after Harry." Fred smiled as he answered his old professor's unspoken question.
"As long as you two don't blow up the flat." Snape warned as gave them his infamous Snape glare. Ron & Hermione went into the living room and examined the joke merchandise that the twins invented. Harry was finished and the twins went in the bathroom together. He saw Ron turning red and started to snigger at him. Ron saw Harry laughing at him and told him to shut up then Ron turned more a deeper shade of red and said, "Hermione... I ... uh have something to ask you..."
At this point, Severus was pretending to read and was watching them closely. 'Hermione is confused all right, she may know lots of things, but she doesn't know when a boy likes her or when he's going to ask her out.' Severus thought. Hermione was indeed confused and asked, "Yes, Ron?"
Ron looked at Harry then Hermione then he repeated that, then he looked at Snape and so he continued, "I really like you a lot and umm... I was wondering if you want to go out with me?"
Hermione squealed, "Of course Ron! I've started to like you since our fifth year... But Harry, are you ok with this?"
Actually, Harry thought that they made a cute couple and saw it coming. He knew Hermione wasn't really for him and said, "As long as you make time for me, I'm fine! And please don't snog in Professor Snape's presence."
Professor Snape spoke up and said, "Yes, now that there is a new couple in Hogwarts...Remember when to keep your hands off of each other. Especially in my class or you will get a detention for snogging."
Now at this point of the chapter, the characters could hear loud moaning that sounded something like this... "Oh George... God... Oh Merlin... have you been practicing or something?...Oh my! (A falsetto voice)"
Poor Ron... He looked at the hallway with a pale face and said, "Not that again..."
Hermione didn't have a clue of what was going on, she knew that Fred and George were jokers, but Harry and Severus seemed to get an idea and just started to laugh. Ron laughed along with them and said, "Oi Harry! Did you hear that after practice?"
Harry nodded his head and said while shrugging his body, "Yeah, plenty of times. Oliver had to pry them apart once...or twice...most of the time..."
Severus said with a small hint of a smile, "So there's and incest couple from Gryffindor, not bad... I think I'll reward five points to Gryffindor for this excellent show, don't worry Mr. Weasley... How long has this gone on?"
Ron didn't go pale this time and said, "Well... since their fifth year and mum's been making them take separate baths."
Hermione went pale and sighed as they all went to bed. In the morning they heard an explosion and two people yelling, "Hey, where'd you put the presents we made for Ron, Harry and Hermione?"
"I thought you had it last!"
Severus woke up a grumpy man because the twins had woken him up early...way too early. In fact, when he woke up, he jinxed the first thing he saw, which was a box of trick sweets. The sweet boxes exploded and they were all over the room that Severus was staying in. He tripped on some of them, cursed loudly, walked into the kitchen, saw the golden trio eating breakfast with big grins, wolfishly ate his breakfast and kept on muttering about as soon as he could return back to Hogwarts; he could finally get some sleep for the day without obnoxious brats around.
The trio received some of the products that the twins made, the twins told their little brother to advertise for them and Hermione scolded at them for putting such an idea in their brother's head. "This is what you both did while you never paid attention to my classes?" Professor Snape asked the twins with a very infamous Snape glare.
The twins were starting to complete each other's sentences. They always did that to Professor Snape either in detention or outside of detention and it irritated Severus greatly. The trio and the twins were grinning like Cheshire Cats while Snape grinded his teeth together.
"Of course we paid attention..."
"In your classes..."
"It's just that we just tested..."
"Some of our products..."
"In your class!" They replied in unison.
Snape told Harry and his friends that they were leaving at that moment when the twins finished speaking. They flooed back to Leaky Cauldron and caught the train to Hogwarts. Harry was holding on to his pensieve for dear life to not break it. Ron held Harry's share of the joke items and was holding Hermione's hand, and every now and then they screamed 'Eskimo Kiss!' and tried to snog, but Snape always caught them and pried them apart. They arrived at Hogwarts around dinner and the travelling group fled to the room of requirement to pick up anything they forgot in that room. Harry put his pensieve under his bed and other things in his trunk and went down for dinner. Everyone asked where they were, and said that they were out buying stuff that they couldn't get Snape voluntarily gone along.
Severus awarded 5 points to Gryffindor as promised and told everyone to get to bed and shut up. Tomorrow was going to be a long day... and he might as well get to sleep. Harry liked the design of his pensieve and tried to remember what Albus and Severus' looked like. Sleep consumed them all and some boys couldn't wait until tomorrow because they had potions. And some didn't want to go to DADA because of Snape .
What will tomorrow bring? Will Harry and his friends use the trick items? Will Snape give detention? I dunno, you all... but you gotta wait till next chapter to find out!
Snape no Koibito1: Damn writer's block! Kicks a cube that says 'WRITER'S BLOCK' You're trying to stop me from getting to the next chapter!
Severus : Very amusing indeed! Your writing is like a board game!
