Disclaimer: This dramatization is an extension of some of what happens during Harry, Ron, and Hermione's 6th year at Hogwarts. It also covers flashbacks to Snape's first year of teaching. Since J.K. Rowling is yet to publish the 6th book, I'm very vague about what is happening in the wizarding world since only J.K. Rowling can truly write anything about Harry Potter. This is highly likely to disagree with a few facts, but since it's me writing, and not the author, please forgive me any goofs that I might make in relevance to the actual series. Thank you for choosing to read my story.
Warning: Somewhat colorful language ahead, thanks to Annabelle.
"Gabby! Shit! That's why you have to take these lessons! He's taking advantage of you! Oh, crap I should have known it was suspicious!" Annabelle whined out frantically.
"Annabelle, you don't understand-" Gabriella got up cautiously.
"I have to get Dumbledore!" At this Annabelle started to back up towards the door. Gabriella panicked, pointing her hands to Annabelle. Annabelle's screech when she discovered she couldn't move her feet was silenced by Gabriella's sharply moving hands. She stared at Gabriella as though she had just discovered that her friend had two heads. Severus walked behind her and discreetly closed the door.
"Annabelle, I need you to listen to me." Gabriella walked slowly to her friend.
"I doubt there is little else she can do." Severus snarled in frustration. Gabriella cast him a fierce glare before turning back to Annabelle.
"Please. I will remove the silencing spell to some degree, but you will not be able to scream, okay?"
Annabelle's mouth was already moving before Gabriella could remove the spell fully.
"-and omigod the creepy git I thought he hated you in the hospital but I bet he was planning how many different ways he wanted to screw you and how he would mess with your head. The bastard is a greasy bat who is just going to hurt you in the end. Crap the exploding cauldron was all a ploy I bet he poisoned you to fall in love with him so that he could have an easy partner! And you fell for him and me thinking that you should be in Ravenclaw when you might as well be in his house since you're already in his bed! And shit what kind of friend do you think you are? You are a wandless or whatever and you don't even tell me? I bet Piper knows! You always liked her best! How could you, you whor-" Annabelle stopped abruptly when Severus' hand touched hers in a strong backhanded slap. Both of the girls stared at him in amazement.
"Eeeewww." Annabelle whined.
"Annabelle, I haven't told anyone, not even Piper, that I am a wandless because Professor Dumbledore instructed me not to. I promise I would have told you, had it been allowed." Gabriella pleaded.
"LIAR!" Her shout was muted and sounded more like a hoarse whisper. "You were able to tell him." She glared meaningfully towards Severus.
"He had to know. He taught me over the summer. It couldn't be avoided."
"Then what are you doing here! You aren't really flunking the potions are you? You just fail so you can be with him!" Annabelle hissed menacingly. Severus closed his eyes, prepared to hear Gabriella deny her connections with him as any other woman would have done. As every woman in his life had.
"Yes." Severus' eyes flew open at the simple answer. Annabelle's widened alarmingly. "My relationship with him doesn't hurt you though, does it? It effects you in no way. It doesn't change our friendship at all!" Gabriella walked to Severus and put her hand in his, for both of their comfort.
"You're disgusting." Annabelle hissed. "How can you have a relationship with a teacher? Especially this teacher!" Annabelle spat at Gabriella as small tears formed in Gabby's eyes. "I accepted you when you were the new kid and this is what you do? Screw the teacher?" Gabriella moved closer to Severus' side as each statement from Annabelle stabbed at her. "Especially considering that you have no regards for my feelings! You call yourself my friend but you don't even tell me that you're a wandless? Some friend!" Severus put a protecting arm around her as her shoulders began to heave. His other hand snaked towards the wand in his robes.
"Annabelle-" Gabriella whispered.
"I don't want you to talk to me! As soon as I'm out of here I'm going to talk to Dumbledore and then both of you will be gone! Out of here, you bitch! The school can't have such filth as the two of you here for very long-"
"Obliviate!" Severus hissed venomously while pointing his wand to the girl in front of him. Annabelle's eyes grew dim.
"Severus-" Gabriella looked at him in shock.
Severus kissed her lightly on the forehead. "Button your shirt and get to your room as quickly as you can. I'll take care of this." Gabriella grabbed her bag and buttoned her blouse and hurried out of the room, mouthing a silent and confused thank you to the dangerous man in front of her. She quickly removed her spells as she passed her dazed friend on her way out of the door.
"What is it?" Snape snarled.
"I just wanted to know if you've seen Gabriella. She wasn't in the room, and it's almost two hours since she was due back. I'm worried about her." Annabelle swallowed heavily.
"I have not seen her since eight o'clock when she departed my room. If you have nothing more to say then I recommend you leave."
Annabelle turned towards the door. "Do you know where she went? I already checked at Hagrid's hut and she wasn't there."
Snape pushed her towards the door. "No I do not know where she is."
"Are you absolutely sure?" Annabelle turned around. "I thought I heard her voice in here a moment ago…"
"I assure you she is not here. Now go before you get in trouble with a teacher other than me" Snape snarled at her menacingly. " Five points from Gryffindor."
Annabelle grew so alarmed that she ran out of his room before even closing the door. She felt some confusion over the mixed emotions she felt towards Gabriella, so much that she never noticed the half-hour change on the clocks she passed.
Hello every one. Sorry it took longer this time. Anyway I have something important to ask all of you. If anyone is interested in beta-ing (is that the right term; reading my story ahead of time and giving input before posting) for this story or for the other two in my head please email me at comcast (dot net) under the username melliota. (Sorry about this, fanfic won't let me put it up otherwise) not the one given by fanfic. I would really appreciate it. I especially need someone to keep me on track for updating. The other two stories are not started yet and won't be posted for another month or more. Here's a synopsis for them:
Harry Potter fanfic #2: This will be another Snape romance occuring after the war, etc. where Snape falls in love with a witch of the Wicca sort…I need more input on this one than the others since it will have a weaker plot line.
Labyrinth fanfic: Jareth takes in a young woman who is wished away and learns about mortals and love through her companionship (why do good ideas have to sound so corny?).
Anyway, I doubt anyone will be interested in my CATS fic but I'd love help on that one too, and I also have a mystery comedy in my mind…(insert evil/maniacal cackle). Sorry.
So if you're interested just specify all or a specific one and email me! I look forward to hearing from you and I will love your help!
(I promise the next chapter will be longer!)
