Oh yeah,

Did I mention…...

Chapter 2

By Aldesina

Disclaimer: Oh yeah, need I mention that I own nothing?

Also need to mention that this was written prior to the 5th book's appearance, but I might update it and incorporate those newly found factoids into the story. . . . . or not.

Author's Note; I invented the names of some potions and spells and stuff, those are mine

"Professor Snape!"

That blasted voice called again through the doorway, Snape glared at the doorway, it sounded like that little know it all from Gryffindor, he did not have the time to deal with Gryffindor.

"Are you in there Professor, may we come in?"

That voice called out again. We? The Dream team, all assembled and ready to induce another migraine, how perfectly charming of them. When Dumbledore said that it wasn't The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, he must have forgotten about Harry and Co. One Armageddon, Three trouble brewing teenagers, Four people in cahoots to make his life wretched. All he had to do now was summon Kali the Hindu Goddess of destruction and this misery would be complete.

"Professor?"

"Come In." Snape called out stepping out from behind the chair.

"Quietus!" The voice said through the door. Snape walked over to the door and opened it to reveal

"Potter! Granger! Weasley! What are you three doing here?"

"Well sir," Hermione started to scammer "We didn't mean to frighten you sir, that is…"

"You did not frighten me Miss Granger I can assure you of that, now can you stop stammering and tell me what are you doing in here?" Snape snapped.

"Professor Dumbledore sent us." Harry piped up "He said that you mentioned that you might like some help assisting Armageddon."

"What?" Snape barked "He said that I would like what?

"Help, sir" Hermione said, looking at him oddly, "Are you sure that you're ok sir, you seem extremely jumpy for no reason."

"Yeah, it's only Armageddon anyway." Ron said.

"Mr. Weasley!" Snape spit out angrily "Do you even know what Armageddon is?"

"Well yah, of course I know what Armageddon is, it's . . . . "

"I don't need for you to explain to me what Armageddon is Weasley. I happen to know what Armageddon is; I was simply asking you if you knew what the dangers and implications of Armageddon were?

"Well yes of course we do." Harry replied. "That's why we came here."

"What's wrong Potter? Do you have so much doubt in me that you think I can't handle Armageddon by myself?"

"No sir, that's not it, it's just that.."

"We've already went over that Hermione," Harry cut in, "The thing is Professor Snape it's not that we have confidence, or lack of confidence with you, it's only because of Professor Dumbledore that we're here."

"If you don't want any help or anything else for that matter, then we'll leave sir." Hermione said, "But we had to come here anyway because Professor Dumbledore asked."

"But since it seems that you don't want our help we'll take our information and go." Harry said.

"Just a minute Potter, what information?" Snape called out.

"Nothing much, just some potions that Armageddon might want and some other things that it might find useful. We're gonna have get more then one cauldron going if we want to have all these things brewed by the time Armageddon has to go, otherwise how will they be able to leave before the weekend is over?" Hermione said

"They?" Snape asked

"No, there's only one."

"Then explain your poor inexcusable grammar!"

"Not sure of it's sex."

Snape blanched. Since when did destruction come with a gender. Dancing Kali popped into his head stomping the school flat.

Then again. . . . .

"Fine, fine, one, then when the hell is it coming?" Snape asked irritably.

"Oh it will be here in about three hours." Ron said looking at a device that looked like a small watch in his hands with many different hands. The biggest one pointed to a picture that looked suspiciously like Hogwarts.

"Dumbledore said that it was arriving tomorrow Weasley, are you saying you know more about this then Dumbledore? You realize he's dealt with Armageddon before the idea of you even being conceived was at hand?" Snape asked getting more and more furious by the second.

Weasley just opened and closed his mouth like a fish a few time before Hermione interjected on his behalf.

"Yes, but Professor, this device tells us that it will be here in three, no wait, two and a half hours now, it's traveling really quickly this way." Hermione said, taking the device out of Ron's hand who had closed his mouth and was beginning to glow red.

"What? What is that thing, where did you get that device?"

"Well Professor Dumbledore gave it to us." Harry said

"He said that it will tell us exactly when Armageddon will get here down to the last minute."

"Blast it all, it's arriving ahead of schedule then."

"Well that's not that big of a deal, I mean, that will just give it more time to spend here won't it?" Ron said.

"The last thing that we need is to give Armageddon more time here." Snape snapped at them.

"Well what's wrong with giving Armageddon enough time to get the job done, I mean, you wouldn't want it to do a half ass job now would you, it would only have to do it again…"
"Potter, I don't know what the hell is wrong with you , but I like every other sane intelligent person in the world truly wishes that Armageddon does not succeed. Now if you will please stop just standing around and help me round up all the other students we only have a few hours before Armageddon hits and I want everyone in the Great Hall when that happens."

"Err are we having a banquet or something?" Ron asked looking more perplexed then ever "Shouldn't we contact the house elves first or something?"

"NO Weasley we are not! Now get going!" Snape shouted. With that Snape nearly bodily picked them up and threw them out the door slamming it behind them.

Harry Hermione and Ron just looked at each other.

"Jeez, what crawled up his ass and died?" Ron asked. Harry and Hermione just laughed and shrugged

"I don't know Ron," Harry said, but let's just hope that he didn't hear that last comment otherwise you'd have detention for a week." Just at the moment they heard a voice inside the door

"Sonorous!" Followed by a loud booming voice.

"If I could have your attention please, this is Professor Snape. As many of you might know already Professor Dumbledore has gone on a short trip and has left me in charge of the castle for the weekend. I would also like to inform you that there will be a presence arriving at the castle soon. One that you will certainly not like to meet on your own without proper reinforcements. I highly suggest that you all cease what you're doing and get into the Great Hall immediately!"

"Whew," Ron said "looks like he didn't hear anything."

"I HEARD THAT MR. WEASLEY!" Apparently Snape had not stopped the sonorous charm yet.

"As for that little comment of yours, that's a week of attention for you, courtesy of Mr. Potter, who suggested it that idea."

"Oh thanks a lot Harry. Now I've got a week of detention." Ron said. Harry shrugged

"Sorry Ron."

"Come on, you heard what Snape said, we have to get to the Great Hall." Hermione said.

"What do you think he wants us there for? I mean he said that he wasn't going to throw a banquet for Armageddon and I don't think that it would want an audience." Ron said

"Well, Dumbledore already said that Armageddon knows about us. So it's expecting us, we wouldn't want to disappoint Dumbledore or our guest." Hermione said "Maybe it won't mind having more people around."

"Who knows, anyways, I think the only reason why Dumbledore told us all about Armageddon was because he knew Snape would want help" said Harry.

"Or panic pointlessly." Hermione added.

"You mean like what he's doing now?" Ron asked.

"Huh, yeah, alright, let's go." Hermione said.

"Yeah, yeah, time to save Snape's grimy green ass." Ron said rolling his eyes.

"TWO WEEKS WEASLEY! And one for both Mr. Potter and Miss Granger as well!"
