I don't own Harry Potter.
Airiala walked straight to Dumbledore's office, still soaking wet. She was surprised that Raina had dared to do such a thing to Snape. It had to be the most hilarious thing anyone had ever seen, once they got over the shock.
Airiala was smiling at the memory as she entered his office.
"Did you go for a swim in the lake Airiala?"
She looked up at the amused Dumbledore before she remembered that she was still wet. She laughed before shaking her head violently, sending water droplets everywhere.
"No, but I do have some good news."
"Let's here it," he said with amusement.
"The water element, Raina, has arrived. It is quite exciting."
About three seconds later, a dry Snape walked in, glaring at the still dripping Airiala. "Don't you know any basic drying spells?"
"Could care less," Airiala said with a knowing smile. Snape didn't smile back.
"Airiala," Dumbledore said drawing her attention, "could you please explain to me how you became so…wet."
Airiala smiled widely. "Well, I was outside by the lake when the water started getting real choppy. Then…"
"I arrived," Raina said walking around the other two to face Dumbledore. "I'm Raina, the water elemental."
"Nice to meet you. Can you explain to me why my air elemental is dripping wet?"
"Well, Airiala and I were talking when Mr. Overprotective here," she pointed over her shoulder at Snape, "started gripping about her being in danger. These two started arguing like an old married couple over something so stupid. So, I doused them with water to stop those," Raina turned to the two behind her with a wide smile on her face, "flames of passion."
Airiala turned red, both in anger and embarrassment. Snape was no better. Raina smirked before turning back to Dumbledore. Instead of dropping the subject, she just kept going.
"I mean, they were arguing so fiercely with each other, I'm surprised they haven't slept together yet. If they were on a playground he would be pulling her hair and pushing her down. It is ever so entertaining to watch them."
"That's it!"
Raina and Dumbledore both looked over at the two. Both looked angry. Then they started yelling.
"I am not…"
"There is no way…"
"He is…"
"She is…"
Airiala turned her anger to Snape when she realized they were speaking at the same time. "Shut up and let me speak!"
Snape glared at her. "I believe I was speaking first."
"No, I was. Besides isn't a gentleman supposed to allow the lady to go first."
"I don't see any ladies here."
"I don't see any gentlemen either."
"I am more of a gentleman than you are a lady."
"That's a load of crap!"
"Example one: No lady would use such language."
"You're right. A lady would use much worse."
Raina looked back at Dumbledore, who was holding onto his hat as the wind began swirling around the room violently. "Told you," she yelled over the howl of the wind.
Neither Airiala nor Snape were listening, as their argument grew more heated.
"Maybe Raina should dump more water on you. You're still a hot head."
"Airiala you are the most insufferable girl. I can't wait to be rid of you."
"Then leave me alone!"
"So you can be kidnapped? I think not!"
Raina walked up to them and touched them each on the shoulder. The argument stopped, along with the wind, as both turned to look at her.
"As I said before, flames of passion," Raina said before stepping past them.
"You seem to have your wires crossed, water elemental. I could never be interested in such a disagreeable, ignorant girl."
"Well, I could never be interested in such a rude, arrogant man."
Raina smiled to herself as she walked out the door. "First step: denial," she yelled as she walked out of the office.
Airiala growled in annoyance before rushing after her yelling something about that being about alcohol and water elementals.
Snape just stood there, slightly in shock. Of all the things he expected her to say about him, she didn't say the one thing he was expecting.
She didn't insult his looks.
"Severus," Dumbledore said getting Snape's attention. "Those were some rather mean things you said about her."
"I know," Snape replied, "but I was expecting some equally horrible things from her as well."
Dumbledore sighed. "I thought I made you two agree to get along. Why do you continue to fight?"
Snape turned to Dumbledore fully. "I am unsure, but I doubt it has anything to do with passion."
"Very well. Let this be the last time I hear anything about the two of you fighting."
"Yes, sir."
"Good," Dumbledore said before resting his head in his hands, his eyes twinkling madly. "Now, tell me what happened by the lake this afternoon."
