Contemplations of the Dress spheres (Book 3, when Snape substitutes for Lupin)
Every sat inside the classroom for defense against the dark arts. Lupin was nowhere to found. " That's odd. Lupin isn't here today." Harry said slightly puzzled. " He could be sick, Harry." Ron said as he took his seat. Shortly after Maru rushed inside the class with a Gryffindor robe on, Breathing Heavily with a bundle of book in one arm. He took as seat next to Hermione and Chandra. "What took you so long?" Chandra asked. " I had a sort of a… Problem finding the class… and trying to settle down a Chocobo after Malfoy trying to light in on fire." Maru said still breathing heavily. He looked behind him, spotting Malfoy smirking at him with mischievous smile. " He's so dead after class." Maru Muttered to the others.
The doors then opened up once again as Snape barged in to the class. Pointing at each of the windows he closed the blinds, blocking any sunlight that enter the room as he walk toward the front of the classroom. " What's Snape doing here?" Chandra whispered. " Wasn't he supposed to teach potion making?" Ron whispered back. When Snape got to the Front of the room, he snapped his head, glaring at the students. They were hushed into silence. He flicked his wand again, Causing Blue text books to appear in front of each student's desk. Every one was puzzled. " Turned to page 13. he order in his calm yet somewhat menacing voice. " Excuse me, Professor Snape. Where is Professor Lupin?" Hermione asked raising her hand. " I'm afraid Lupin has taken a day of Absence today. he seemed to have gone ill. So I will be substituting the class." Snape answered. "Oh boy. what joy?" Maru whispered to Chandra.
Snape picked up a Blue textbook similar to the ones the students were given. He opened it cradling it in his arm. " Now, Today we will be Discussing the world of Spira." he said as he began to write on the chalkboard behind him. " But sir, we were learning about boggarts last class." one of the students said. " Thank you for telling me. But I find more relavent for you to learn this than to learn about a creature that hides in closets. I don't see any importance teaching you about this. Some students may think of it as chance to get a few giggles." Snape said glaring at Neville Long bottom, who was now slowly sinking behind his desk. " Now with that said, I'm sure you're all aware of the certain decision made by The Ministry of Magic and the Decision Dumbledore has made. The Ministry of magic has warmly welcome Spira's Knowledge of Magic into our Wizarding realm. And with that I must prepare you for the new dangers that await all of us by this. First thing you must learn is that the world of spira nothing but terror and dark magic. I wouldn't be surprise if Voldermort was born there." " Excuse me, Professor." Maru said. "But Spira is just like that wizarding realm here. I don't see no difference to-" " thank you for your opinion Maru. However, I am teaching this class, not you. do not Disrupt me." Maru sat down, holding him self back from lashing at him. " Now, with in spira lies many dangers. and of course there are muggles there also. However, in spira they are well aware that magic is real. I don't see why there is a purpose to. Muggles are pathetic creatures." "I really hate this teacher." Maru whispered to Harry. "who does?" Harry whispered back.
"Now, today we will be discussing one of the many forms of Wizardings in Spira." Snape said as he picked up an Item that was covered by black cloth. he placed them the desk next to him for every one to see. " Now, I will ensure you. that This form of Wizardry is one of them most Absurd and Insulting ways I have ever in my life." he pulled off the black cloth revealing several Glowing sphere. they glistened, radiating light in the dim class room. " Can any of you guess what these are? entertain me." he said pacing around room. Only Hermoine and Maru's Hands were raised. " Sorry Maru. But that would be cheated if you the told the Class up front what this is, since you are from Spira." Snape choosed Hermoine. " yes Hermoine. care to share your guess?" Hermoine stood up. "I believe in Spira, they are called Dress spheres, Sir. Created by a race called the Al bhed, Dress spheres are Items that can change a person's attire and give special abilites. Depending on what type of dress sphere you use, One feel changes that affect both Mental and physical being." she said. she then sat down leaving the class in an awe. " Hang on. How did you learn about Spira's Wizardry? You've never been there." Harry asked. " It helps to check out the newly released books at the library now and then." Hermoine said proudly. " thank you for that Definintion, Hermoine. ten point will be taken from Gryffindor." Snape said. " hey, what for? she was right." Chandra asked. " For Obviously getting anwsers from Maru and for doing my job in teaching the class." Snape anwsered coldly. " but I didn't say anything." Maru said in defense. " 10 more points will taken for denying the truth." Snape walked back to spheres as Maru and chandra muttered smart remarks behind his back. " Now, these 'dress sphere' as you may call them not what they seemed. Take note of this, that these are not Items to Intervine with. I advise you all to stay away from these Items at all cost." "what happens if you do?" Neville asked in a very meek voice. Snape walked up towards him with his cold stare fixed on to him. Neville went back on his chair, wishing he never asked that question. " they will be dire consequences... I won't be suprised if you were to die from toying with one these evil contraptions." Snape said. he walked back to the front of the room. " Excuse me, Proffessor Snape." Maru said standing up. " But, May I say that these dress spheres are not dangerous. I used them all the time in spira. They're harmless." " really?" Snape said averting his gaze towards him. " Do you really take me as a Simpleton, Maru." " no sir." "then do not start lies. be seated." maru did what he said once again holding back from yelling at him.
" Do not think I will fall for you trick. I know for a fact that these are ABOSOLUTELY dangerous. turn to page 15." the class did as they were instructed. " So far, Ministry of magic or any wizard of the sort has no Idea how counter act the evil of a dress sphere. However, I can show you with out harming any of us what will happen when one is foolish enough to touch them." he pointed his wand one of the dress spheres."WINGARDIUM LEVIOSA" he pronounce lifting the sphere in the middle of the class room. every one watch as it levitated in mid air. Snape slowly paced closer to the floating Sphere, Holding his wand fixed on it. he inched slightly further. All the students watched as Suspense rapidly build up with in each one of them. Harry and the others just looked at him stupid. " He's treating it like it's going to explode." Maru whispered. The students were hushed as Snape stopped in front of the sphere and pronounce " SPECIALIS REVILIO." tapping the sphere lightly. The whole room went silent. Every one except for Harry, Ron, Hermione, Maru, and Chandra Flinch as Snape cast the spell. But, the sphere stayed the same. Nothing happened. Snape tapped it again repeated him self. "SPECIALIS REVILIO!" But still nothing happened. It still remained a simple sphere. He continued to cast the spell again and again. The students grew a bit anxious, wanting to see how a sphere can be so evil. A numerous tries, Snape sent it flying in a wall, which cracked it. " Why won't reveal the evil that is inside you?" he spoke in frustration. Maru sighed. "Because, that's not how you use a dress sphere. You only showed how to break one." he said. " Maybe instead of chucking it at the wall, you use one of these." he pulled out a small card like device on his desk where Snape can see it. It was an empty Garment grid, used to summon the power of the dress spheres. " I don't need any one to teach me how to use this demonic contraption you people of Spira have create." Snape said to him. Walk to the front desk picking up another sphere. He understood the fact that you touch it with out dying. He glared at it as he held it in his hand. " Now listen here. You shall reveal the evil that is inside you. Or else I will destroy you like I have did with one of your breveren." he said. " Oh great. Snape has gone mad." Ron said laughing. Snape gave him a cold stare that silenced him. Then he brought his attention back to the Garment grid. He snatched it from Maru's desk then went back to the front of the class. " Know this, I will not be made a fool of Maru." he said to him. " Now, you WILL do what I say. Reveal the evil that is inside of you now." he commanded the sphere. He waited for its reaction. Nothing happened.
The class started to get a bit anxious as Snape's frustration with the dress sphere greatly increased. "Guys, should I just tell how to use this thing?" Maru said. " No. Let's see if he can get it on his own. It's more entertaining that way." Chandra said. By now Snape's frustration had reach critical. " YOU WILL REVEAL TO ME THE EVIL INSIDE OF YOU!" he yelled at the sphere, he gripped his wand with his fury aiming it at the sphere. "SPECIALIS REVI" before he could finish the spell, he noticed that his robes are now glowing a faint white. The color of his robes diminished and a white aura surrounded him that made such a bright flash in the classroom. It disrupted every one's vision and no one could see what was happening to Snape. Only his sudden yell for help was the only indication that he was still alive.
When the flash from the white aura died down. Mini burst of Fireworks went off around Snape as his new attire was now revealed. Instead of his black Robe, he had on White jeans, which went with a white shirt jacket and shirt. A head set with a microphone appeared on his head. And his hair was slicked backed. He looked as if he was in a pop star boy band. " Look! Snape's a member of the back street boys." A student shouted. " You mean that boy band of Muggles?" another one said. Suddenly out from nowhere music began to play as Snape's body started to move and groove to the beat of the song. "What?! What's going on?!" he said panicking at the fact that his body was not listening to him. " MARU! WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?!" " Nothing. You just activated The Songtress Dress sphere." Maru said. " Just stay calm and eventually you'll be back into control." Snape's body went crazy as the music kept on playing out from nowhere. He began doing back flips and jumping on to desks. " He doesn't seem like he's calm doesn't he?" Hermione said. " MARU! STOP THIS INFERNAL THING FROM-" before Snape could finished his sentence he body did a double cart wheel to a back flip out the window. All they could hear was Snape's scream as he spun down 3 stories out of Hogwarts. "This could be bad." Harry said. "Actually, I would give that 9. He had good form on that cart wheel." Chandra said. All the students rushed to the windows looking to see if he was okay. Snape survived the drop but his body was still in dance mode and was now doing the funky chicken in front of the Hufflepuff Quiditch team. "MARU!" Snape yelled. "STOP THIS INFERNAL THING BEFORE IT KILLS ME!" "why can't Snape stop?" Neville asked. " It could be that The sphere is adjusting to it's body. This is the first time Snape used a Dress sphere before. I read about it when The new books from Spira arrived." Hermione said. " bloody hell. Maybe you should stop hanging out in the library. you're starting to be ahead of the proffessors." Ron said. " Professor, STAY CALM! You'll gain control if you just stay calm!" Maru said calling out to him. " HOW CAN I STAY CALM?! Snape yelled as his body continued to go ballistic with energy. Maru sighed. " I really doubt he's going to be happy when he finally goes back to normal." he said.
After a half hour, Snape began to gain control of his body. However, he was greatly Traumatized by the fact that he just back flipped 3 stories out of Hogwarts and on to soft ground with out even the slightest injury. When he got back, he Automatically Dismissed the class and grabbed Maru by his ear, Dragging him down the Hallways of Hogwarts. "OW,OW,OW! what did I do?" Maru whined. " EVERY THING! I bet you plan this from the beginning." Snape snarled pulling him harder as he stomped down the halls. " Planned? planned what?" "don't play dumb with me, Maru. The grid, the sphere, having me back flip out of hogwarts and giving me a heart attack. I told you. I will not be made of fool of." " but I didn't do anything. you were using the sphere wrong so I tried to help you." Sanpe stopped glaring at him as he yanked at his ear. " is there a possibility that you can not pull on my ear?" Maru asked. "Listen. Just because you're from Spira does not mean your wizarding ways are better." " I didn't say they were. OW, OW, OW! I would really appreciate if you stop pulling my ear, thank you." "do you really think you can get away from this prank of yours UNHARMED?" "BUT I DIDN'T-" Snape continued dragging him as he headed for Dumbledore's Private Office. he barged through the doors, pulling Maru inside. "Professor Dumbledore, I must speak with you at once." Snape shouted. "coming, Proffessor snape. I am right now am in some very intriging discovery." Dumbledore voice said behind a curtain. " I'm afraid sir that must wait. This matter is very urgent." "oh, really. then what seems to be the problem, Severus." Dumbledore emerged out from the curtain with a attire so shocking, that Snape completely froze for a second. he finally let go of Maru, who then finally got a look at him.
Dumbledore, who was no longer wearing his traditional Elder robes, was now in full plated Rainbow colored Armor with cover his entire body. He frizzy white beard was braided into 2 ropes that dangled off his chin. his snowy white hair was now flowing down from his helmet that was placed on his head. He held held a large greatsword, resting the massive blade his spiked shoulder plates. "something wrong Severus? you looked like you've seen something horrid." Dumbledore asked. " Um... Well...if I don't ask, Sir. Where did get at armor from and why are wearing it? we are certainly not in any danger." Snape said. "oh, this? I've received my first dress sphere this morning. And I must say that they are absolutely remarkable. Don't you think so, Severus?" " I beg to differ sir. These are contraptions of evil! One of them nearly killed me." " I told him to be calm and eventually he'll gain control of his body." Maru said. " did you just said that these tried to Murder you, Severus?" Dumbledore said puzzled. " Yes, Sir. And the culprit behind it was our guest from Spira. there is no other explanation for it. he must have bewitched the items before I had a chance to inspect them." Snape accused. Suddenly dumbledore's fair brightened as if he just remembered something. " This has slipped my mind severus. but, I believed I have forgotten to hand you soemthing that you've misplaced." he said going to his drawer and picking a small booklet. he handed it to Snape. " I've heard that you planned to teach the class about one of Spiral's Wizarding Items and I have placed this on your desk. you must have not seen it." "what is this?" Snape asked. " just a small manual I put together to how to properly utilized the power of a dress sphere. And I placed a device I believe is called a Garment grid with it as well. It is also used to help control the power of the dress sphere." Snape skimmed through the manual for how to using the dress sphere. " believe me now?" Maru retorted. Snape went silent, completely embarassed. Maru was right. he was absolutely right. " Maybe I should inform you about these things before you end up dancing away in some blind rage, again." Dumbledore said. "yes...yes, that would be most welcomed." Snape replied, his face completely red from embarassement." well then, I shall go now. thank you, sir." snape walked towards the door way. " oh and one more thing Severus." Dumbledore said. Snape stopped " yes, sir?" " Professor Mcgonagell happened to see your stunt that you did out of a third floor window. She says you have great form with your back flip." the comment made Snape burst out into a deeper shade of red. " thank you." he managed to say as he quickly went out of the door. Dumbledore just smiled.
