Harry Potter and the Golden Apple Corps
Chapter 04
"You'll call yourselves what you are, not what you want," said Eris, obviously upset at the twins thinking they had a better idea of chaos than her. "Besides, I am choosing as the Goddess of Chaos to predetermine one thing."
"Predetermined Chaos?" asked Fred.
"Could we get a flyer on that?" asked George.
"No, unless you want to risk your shop on a sucker bet," said Eris, grinning like a Cheshire cat. "But, I do like you two and will give you a great fortune. Right now, however, you need to learn how to shut the smeg up."
"As to what I needed to say, Ginevra is to head the battle group. Before Harry or any of you overprotective redheaded twonks gets the idea to complain, she's been given immortality and immunity to your brand of magic. Not to mention some new powers of her own which I will discuss with her separately."
The three redheaded men dropped their jaws. A look of utter fear crossed their face. At the same time, Ginny's head looked like it was in danger of severing itself with an evil grin. Harry looked bemused. Hermione looked confused. Moody buried his face in his hands, muttering something that sounded suspiciously like "Bugger me running!"
Tonks looked thoughtful. Lupin was the first to speak coherently. "How will that work?"
"I'm a goddess, wolf-boy, damn near omnipotent. I can do as I please," Eris snickered, "Didn't he used to be a teacher? Here's the plan. At the next full moon, the fledgling wereflamingo known as Severus Snape will be giving his report to Hyphen-dork…"
Even Moody tittered at that point, because at the same time, Eris was projecting the scene over the table. Severus Snape was bowing to Voldemort, who was seated on a gravestone in the familiar Little Hangleton cemetery. On Voldemort's right simpered Peter Pettigrew. On Voldemort's left, however, was a nondescript man in a rather dull, unimpressive business suit. To any familiar with the muggle world, it was obvious that you could stare right at this man and never notice him. Even here, where his incongruity made him stand out like a blast-ended skrewt at a petting zoo, it would be easy to forget he was there, especially as the first rays of the full moon began to strike the greasy haired traitor bowed before Voldemort.
The laughter in the room began to erupt as everything about Hogwarts' former potions master began to change size except his nose. The famous hooked nose only changed color and grew a little sharper. Even Voldemort, whom everyone had thought to be without humor was on the brink of laughter. That is, until Snape attacked. In a flurry of pink feathers and spindly legs, the most feared man on the planet was trying to defend himself from one of his most faithful minions.
The scene faded, and Eris, regaining control of herself, said over the raucous laughter echoing through Harry's kitchen, "That is our moment of attack. The little man you couldn't help but notice, but had a hard time keeping your eyes on, was Greyface. I'll tell you more about him when you're all able to breathe again."
