Zaneta: I got heaps of snow up here in Liverpool, traffic pretty much ground to a halt.
Omega: All right for some.
Zaneta: Story time!
Chapter 11- Seras gets mad.
Harry walked up to Seras' office and knocked on the door.
"Come in." came the reply, Harry gulped and walked through the door.
"Ah, Harry what is it?"
"I was told to give you this," Harry handed her the note he had got from Alucard.
"WHAT!!?" Seras yelled when she had read it, "Harry I think you're in for an eventful dinner tonight," she said calmly a few moments later
"Eh?"
"Now enjoy the rest of your day."
"Huh?"
"You can go now."
"Oh," Harry got up and left the office "What did she mean by that?"
Harry decided to explore the mansion grounds that he could get even if it was limited the area was massive and it had snowed heavily the night before so everybody was having a massive snowball fight. Harry found the others in an igloo throwing snowballs left, right and centre.
"Where have you been?" Ron asked when Harry crawled in.
"Nowhere in particular"
Hermione was making Snowballs and looked up "Really, you shouldn't wander the way you do."
"I know, I just took a wrong turn that's all."
Later that evening just as dinner was about to the served Seras walked into the hall, beckoned some of the Slytherins to come with her and left the hall.
"What do you think is going on Harry?" Ron asked
"I'm not sure but I think we are about to find out."
Meanwhile in the mess hall where the Geese were going to have their dinner, Pip had just sat down and was ready to eat when a voice rang through the halls.
"WHAT ON EARTH DID YOU THINK YOU WERE PLAYING AT!?!?!"
Pip, and everyone in both halls jumped and Flitwick also fall off his chair.
"Was zat Seras, I'd 'ate to be the one on ze receiving end."
The Slytherins were all backed in a corner, terrified at the sight of Seras mad.
"But…"
"SHUT UP!!!" Seras yelled at Zabini, giving him a glare that would stop a raging bull. "IF YOU THINK YOU'RE GONNA HAVE ANY FREE TIME FOR THE NEXT FORTNIGHT YOU ARE GRAVELY MISTAKEN!"
The Slytherins were about to moan but Seras gave them a Glare and continued, "YOU LOT ARE GOING TO BE DOING EVERY JOB THAT NEEDS DOING FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS!"
"But what about homework?"
"YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO SKIP ON SOME SLEEP!"
Alucard was in his room chuckling at the havoc Seras was making, "I don't think they are going to be any trouble for a while."
Professor McGonagall ran out into the entrance hall, "Professor Victoria, I believe that is quite enough." she said to Seras, looking rather flustered.
Seras looked at the teacher, then took a deep breath, "You're quite right, I think I've scared them enough, but locking Harry in the basement when it was clearly stated that it was out of bounds…"
"Are you worried about what is under there?"
"What they can find down there, Sir Integra is rather embarrassed about some of the things that lurk down there."
Somewhat shaken, the Slytherins returned to the hall to eat.
Ron looked at Harry, "What was that about?" he asked in a nervous tone, "She was really really mad."
"You don't say Ron." Hermione answered sarcastically.
Harry ate thoughtfully, saying nothing.
"Harry?" Ginny enquired.
"They locked me in the basement, obviously there's some dark element in the past that they feel is best kept away from people."
"Anything else?"
"Peeves nailed to a wall with steak knives."
"How does that work?"
"They were silver."
"So?" Ron asked.
"In many beliefs silver is the only substance to exist in the plains of the living and the dead, thus being able to harm a ghost. You wouldn't be able to do more than chop them up and scatter them to the winds but…"
"That would do the job." Harry finished
"Or you can turn them into a dartboard."
Harry laughed "Yeah that too."
Integra was in her office with Walter.
"And I thought I could shout."
"You can my Lady, it's just that we have never heard Seras shout… at least not like that."
"I can't tell, was that patronising or comforting?"
"It is open to interpretation, now should I prepare some tea? We have just received some superb quality leaves from a special plantation in India."
"What's so special about it?"
"They didn't say."
This just made Integra puzzled, "Weird."
Back in the mess hall Pip was thinking about what sort of things Seras would get the kids in question to do.
"Could be anyzing really, she did say zat zey would be doing everyzing."
When Seras got back to her office Alucard was there.
"You showed them, good job."
"Would Sir Integra say that?"
"Probably not, but I'm not Integra and I like to know idiots are getting frightened."
Seras sighed.
