Chapter 7- Snape Baiting!

Sirius Black let out a low rumbling growl, echoing the one of his animagus.

"Snivellus!" He grabbed Sahara's hand and dragged her bodily up to the Gryffindor tower. Practically throwing her through the portrait hole and then literally carrying her up to his room, he dropped her on to his bed and then told her to wait there and don't move till he's back. He ran from the room yelling at the top of his lungs.

"Remus…Moony, bloody hell where is he when someone needs him! Remus! MOONY!!!!" Sirius was now running down the corridor next to the fat lady when finally 5 minutes later he bumped in to his oblivious companion coming back from the library under James' invisibility cloak.

"For the love of all that's magic, where the hell have you been?" Sirius was now bent double trying to get rid of a stitch in his side.

"What? I've been creeping in to the library studying for my N.E.W.T's every night. Why do you care?" Remus wasn't in the mood for Sirius' mad ramblings, especially since he had been funny with him recently.

"Follow me, it's urgent" Sirius started walking back and slowly Lupin followed. When they returned to the common room James intercepted them just as they were about to walk up the stairs,

"Found him then?" he smirked,

"No I found his identical twin…course I bloody found him!" Sirius quipped back.

"Yeah enough with the jokes, what was so urgent you felt the need to run around the school shouting my nickname…secret nickname?" Lupin actually looked quite amused with the situation, by this time they were at the top of the winding stone steps.

"See for your self…" he swung open the heavy mahogany door to reveal…nothing. Sahara had gotten under Sirius' sheets and curled into a tiny ball, like a cat. What gave her away though was the soft shaking of her sobbing silently. Remus looked inquiringly at his mates

"What am I supposed to be looking at…is this another one of your pathetic pranks, I will have to kill you!" At the sound of his deep reassuring voice Sahara whispered for him, still under the covers.

"Sahara? Is that you?" Why is she in your bed…YOU BASTARD!" Remus threw himself on Sirius and punched every part of him that he could reach but was distracted by a shriek,

"No, don't hit, don't kick, don't bite. I can't stand it please. STOP IT!!" Moony instantly crawled up next to her and put his arms around her. They rocked backwards and forwards and he whispered kind words and lullabies in her ear.

"Sahara honey, why don't you tell Moony exactly what you told me".

Half an hour later, once again, the poor girl had to relive her worst memories. After she had concluded the horror story Remus stood up and without a word marched out of dorm and walked quite calmly to the dungeons, Sirius, who had had to stay behind to tell James to watch over Sahara, finally caught up with him just as he had started pacing up and down in front of the blank stretch of wall which marked the entrance of Slytherin.

"What do you plan to do moony? We can't get in there and even if we could, I wouldn't let you. They'd kill you!" Lupin looked around with a maniacal look in his eye.

"Ah ha! That's where your wrong Black! It's full moon tomorrow, all it'll take is for that prick to push me a step to far and…I'll transform!" a cold high pitched laugh came out of the calm, studious, sixteen year old. Sirius was now slightly scared. Remus had never even thought about using his disability to his advantage. It was certainly a turn for the books. He was now pacing again with his head in his hands. There was several more minutes of Sirius staring and Remus striding until the werewolf sighed and walked slowly towards Sirius. He leaned his head on his friends shoulder and Sirius gingerly patted him on the back.

"I'm sorry, I'm acting like an idiot. This isn't me! I cannot even believe I said that I would transform… ahhhh. It's just he didn't only hurt my fiancé but my baby as well. Who would do such a monstrous thing?" The blank wall slid open to reveal the answer.

"Oh! I'm sorry. have I interrupted something. I always knew there was something between you two. You know, a spark!" Snape smiled and revealed a set of dirty, yellow teeth, his lips chapped and his skin sallow. Black hair hung like grimy curtains, small strands clinging to the grease on his long, hooked nose. Though his smile didn't last long! Two teenage rebels jump on a adolescent loner, resulting in a furious scuffle on the dusty, stone floor of the dungeon. Remus pummelled Severus' face while Sirius worked the legs and stomach.

"What the hell are you doing? Your both maniacs!" Snape cried out trying to dodge Remus who had come across with a new energy and…well, it can only be described as viciousness.

"This is for Sahara!" he punched him on the nose, "This is for our baby!" he whacked him on the head, " This is for being such a loser!" he kicked him in the stomach then looked at Sirius, who was standing back watching, looking mildly impressed, and they silently communicated then Sirius nodded and moved to stand over Snape's limp body.

"And this, Snivellus," he put extra emphasis on the name, " is for… that time, the other day, when you touched my robes. I really couldn't get the grease out for days!" with that he kicked him in the head and preformed a very powerful memory charm upon him. Leaving him bruised and battered but with no recollection of who, why or when they did it!

"You know, I really wish you hadn't put that memory charm on the bastard" Remus mused,

"Why?"

"I would have happily taken the blame. Hell, it's taking all of my self control to stop me making posters!" They both laughed merrily (but quietly, it was past curfew) all the way back to bed. Sirius thinking of Remus, Remus thinking of Sahara, Sahara thinking of Snape, Snape thinking of James and James thinking of pizza!
