… Well, as we said at the end of the first chapter, we've had some of these later ones written up for a while… real life just got in the way… XD And Hika's away for a little bit anyways, so I'll have the pleasure of trying to update all of our stories, except Of Feathers and Fabric, because Hika needs to find our written drafts… -.- Anyways, here's the second chapter. And before I forget, WE DON'T OWN HARRY POTTER. We only write our strange yaoi fantasies with the characters. XD Enjoy!
Bold is Cinder as Harry
Regular is Hika as Snape
~~**~~*Severus*~~**~~
Albus was planning something. I could feel it. I just wasn't quite sure what yet.
"Why am I to be inflicted with… Potter?" I mumbled to myself as I paced back and forth in front of my desk.
"Could he be…? No… It wouldn't dare to attempt… Would he? No… It would never work… too much loathing…" I muttered, dropping a few unicorn hairs into the cauldron before me. Frequently, when I become filled with more than the normal amount of seething hatred, I turn to brewing up a random potion to soothe me. The delicate art of potion making requires me to set aside my anger and focus on getting the perfect mix of ingredients. It offers me solace in my times of sorrow.
Mid-thought, I was suddenly accosted by a ball of white fur.
"Minerva! I am working! You know you aren't supposed to bother me when I'm working!" I scolded the cat. (A/N: Snape has a cat which he named Minerva, after McGonagall. This cat is not the real McGonagall.) She gave me an annoyed look.
"Woman! Don't give me that look! Now sod off, you dread beast," I ordered. She slicked back her ears in anger and shoved my cauldron off of the desk, splashing the potion on to me in the process. I felt myself start to shrink instantly. Fearing the worst, I looked over to the mirror on the other side of the room. I groaned, taking in my new body. It was that of me at the age of four.
"Bugger…" I muttered as I stalked off toward Albus' office for the second time that day.
Okay, so it's not that long. But next chapter is longer. *proud* And you get it right away. Hopefully that's payment enough for our absence… ^_^; Review please! Reviews feed our souls, and help keep Minerva(Snape's cat) happy!
