Authors Note: This is dedicated to my wonderful reviewer "Howl" you have no idea how warm and tingly I feel inside when a wonderful reviewer like you sends me a nice long review telling me you like it. Thank you.
I saw HP 4 on Friday the 18th and then again on Sunday the 21st. I don't think I have ever laughed so hard at Snape. I won't say anything, but it was a great movie, and Snape was a great character. Even my Gryffindor, Potter-loving obsessive friend admitted (she never admits to anything) that he was totally awesome. So if you haven't seen it yet, see it.
Again thanks to my wonderful beta!
There is going to be an absence from now till Saturday due to Thanksgiving.
Chapter 15
Naught Was Told
"Have you spoken to him, Tal?" The beautiful woman stared down at the bowing form coolly. No expression, naught, but the glimmer of interest in dark blue eyes.
"Forgive me, my lady, but I have not. I am waiting for the….opportune moment,"
The beautiful woman's features were obscured with annoyance, "you promised me, Tal, you swore you will have convinced him by the Dancing Moon, before I had to swear in my oath again,"
"I apologize, my lady, but he wishes not to return to the Four Lands, he ran from this place long ago, asking him to come back would be most….unwise," as he spoke, he straightened until he stood eye to eye to the beautiful, intimidating, woman.
"The Dancing Moon rises in 6 weeks, don't disappoint me again, Tal, I am counting on you,"
"Yes, Lady Catrithian Elistratoral, I will not fail you again," as he said this, silver eye's glistened; no….he would not fail again….
Severus took a calming breath; he really did not want to do this. He gently wrapped on the door….I could put it off….
"Severus!"
"Headmaster," Severus nodded and stepped inside the bright and merry office.
"Headmaster…." He repeated and trailed off, he took a deep breathe and sat down quickly, "I think Potter, Weasley, and Granger are wind elementals,"
The silence that followed the simply uttered phrase was deafening.
"You certainly get to the point," Dumbledore calmly took a sip of tea….that old fool…., "what do you suppose we do about this?"
"What can we do, Headmaster? We can not allow them to run around with untrained magic," he then related the events of what happened in the maze.
Dumbledore sighed, "They need training you say? Where can we find some one who can train them?"
"Are you suggesting Demons, Headmaster? You know ou….their kind; they do not allow humans on their world," he almost let it slip….this is getting a little to close to home for my liking.
"We will do nothing for now, we can not let them be aware of such a burden at this given moment,"
"Headmaster, this would be the best time, the school is empty," What the hell are you doing? Trying to get them to go to the Demon's world?
"They are already undergoing training from you, adding another trainer for their other powers would be unwise,"
"Harry! Ron! I have to tell you…" Hermione stopped short, what was she doing? She was not going to gossip about everything she just heard like some ill conceiving blonde bimbo.
Taking a deep breath she walked into the common room. Harry and Ron were playing chess, their summer homework was scattered across the common room. The fire was merrily crackling.
"Harry, Ronald," she said, sitting down next to them. She then proceeded to explode about everything she had just found out, which to them didn't seem that important.
"Don't you see?" she snapped, "This just proves Snape's innocent," for that she got an eye roll, "He has been spying for Dumbledore since he was nineteen, he had 6 broken ribs that were so badly broken that couldn't be heeled by magic. At that was just from one meeting, he is getting physically beaten just to get us information," she sighed at their unconvinced looks, "you two are impossible."
"I believe it when I hear every detail of his life or see every detail of his life right before my eyes, then I MIGHT believe," Harry snapped as Ron knocked out his queen.
"Yeah, 'Mione why are you so keen on trusting him? Do you fancy him or something?" Ron smirked at him, but couldn't help but hide the jealous look in his eyes.
Hermione in turn blushed, "Ronald Weasley! How can you possibly think that? He's a teacher?"
"So was Gildoroy Lockhart,"
"And you and Ginny had a huge crush on him,"
Hermione humphed at him and stalked off to the couch and plopped down, "I see neither of you have finished your homework? You do remember school starts in two weeks,"
"Exactly, 'Mione, two weeks, we have a long time,"
Hermione shook her head, but only to look up as the door swooshed open. In stalked Professor Snape, not even acknowledging their presence except for acurt nod. He swooped over to one of the bookshelves, and without even hesitating pulled out 3 books and flew out again.
The silence that ensued was deafening, "Two more weeks and I have to go back up to the Gryffindor common room….no more of these wonderful books," Hermione sighed.
"You're joking right?"asked Ron.
I couldn't believe Hermione, she has some nerve. First of all, protecting Snape, it's not like he's some traitor trying to kill Harry or something, because he is. He is as close to Dumbledore as McGonagall is to Dumbledore. Then she goes and says she doesn't want to go back to the Gryffindor tower because she doesn't want to leave her…precious…books behind. She's got some nerve.
On the other hand….she does look really pretty when she's mad…stop it, Ron, what am I thinking…..bloody hell, I think I'm going to the dogs. I'm loosing it. Some one check me into St. Mungo's before I really loose.
On second thought don't do that, with all my bloody lucky I would end up in the same bloody room with that bloody git Lockhart. Only that would happen to me.
Harry is trying to tell me that it is my turn, Harry Potter…..the boy-who-hates-the-title-the-boy-who-lived. He's a great mate really, way more wicked than Hermione….but than again; she helps me with my homework a lot more. I think she wears raspberry smelling perfume.
Ack…stop it you stupid git.
Hermione and Ron were practically glaring daggers at each other, but I could tell they weren't going to stay mad long. They could never do that. There would be an awkward apology tomorrow. I know it.
What she said about Snape, really made me think. No I do not trust him, not at all, but when she said that he was beaten every time he goes to the Dark Lord's side…I don't even know what I think….now that's a scary thought.
Two weeks, to ruddy weeks and this is over. I can't wait, sure I'll have to train the brats, but at least they don't have to stay in MY dungeons. Damn you to hell, Dumbledore, with your 'this would wise' talk and your 'we all trust you, Severus, we just aren't going to tell you just to be on the safe side,' wisdom. Wisdom. My. Ass.
But it's pointless to get upset, right?
They were in some sort of silent contest when I walked it, I didn't acknowledge it. Why bother?
End Chapter 15
TBC
School starts soon for the Golden trio, woo-hoo! That's when it will get really interesting. I think I'm gonna throw some Neville in there too, but I have a question. Do any of you know who out of all the students' parents went to school at the same time as Severus and James?
I know none of the Weasley's did, but what about Frank or Alice Longbottom (I am keen about writing them in here somewhere) or any of the other parents.
Just drop a review if you know thanks.
