"It must be around here somewhere." Snape was mumbling under his breath as he was running wildly around the forbidden forest.He had been looking for days! His search had began in Hogsmeade, on the road leading to... somewhere. He couldn't remember where it was or even what the place was called anymore. Something was wrong, he had lived there for SIXTEEN years! How could he lose a building?
He had sent a letter to Dumbledore by owl, or had tried to. He had written the letter, asking Dumbledore where he lived and how to return, then tied it to the owls leg. For a moment, the owl just sat there, and he was beginning to think that it wasn't going to move. It had looked up at him with a questioning look in his eyes, then it spread it's wings and took off. That had been five days ago, and he had received no reply. There were time when he felt as though he was standing right in front of where he was trying to go, but saw nothing. Just the lake, mountains, and Hogsmeade.

One Week Earlier:

"Professor, I have a question." Hermione had her hand raised at the end of her charms class, and was waiting for Flitwick to make his way over to her.
"Yes, Miss Granger? Did you have a question about the essay?" He asked as he finally reached her through all the students standing around.
"Oh, ummm, no. This is some... extra credit I'm working on. I was just wondering... what would happen to people inside a building when..."

Later that day (room of requirement)
"Okay, so everyone will be fine, so long as they are all inside when it happens. I'm thinking the best time to do it will be really late at night, when everyone is in bed." Hermione told the girls.
Turing towards Pansy she asked, "You know how to do it, right? If anything was to go wrong"
With a sigh Pansy answered, "I'm sure, relax Hermione! Geeze, you're the one that taught me, remember?" She rolled her eyes as she watched Hermione blush. "Okay, so tonight, as we're sneaking out, check the beds in your houses. Make sure everyone is in bed," said Hermione, "But there's no way of making sure the professors are all inside... we'll just have to hope that they are."

2am that same night, in the room of requirement

All eight girls had checked each bed on their way out, and every student was where they were supposed to be. With a glance at the other seven girls, Pansy took a deep breath, raised her wand, and cast her spell.

The moment the charm was set, an owl carrying a letter to a student from his parents suddenly stopped. Glancing from side to side she spotted a tree and landed on the top most branch. This had never happened to her before, and wasn't sure what she should do. Should she stay here and hope that whatever happened would fix itself, or should she return home with the letter unsent? A returned letter would cause panic among parents. Not wanting to cause any panic or trouble, the owl settled down on the branch, tucked her head under her wing, and decided to wait it out.
Through the days that followed the single owl was joined by more each day. Apparently they didn't want to frighten their owners either by returning home with the letters.

A few days later:
Hermione was sitting in the common room one evening with Harry and Ron finishing up their homework for the next day. Well, Harry and Ron were, Hermione was writing a letter. "So, Hermione," Ron said turning to face her, "where have you been? You're never around anymore"
Finishing up the sentence she was writing to give herself a moment to find an answer, she then looked up and just as she opened her mouth to answer, Harry elbowed her in the side, then nodded towards someone who had just entered through the portrait hole.
She turned in her seat, and her jaw dropped. Professor Dumbledore was standing just inside the room, with a slight smile on his face, scanning the room apparently looking for someone.
Hermione saw Ginny give her a fleeting look of panic, and made a jerky move as though to approach Hermione, but before she could Professor Dumbledore spoke.
"Ah, Miss Weasley there you are! If you don't object, might I have a quick word with you?" Turning his head, he spotted Hermione. "And Miss Granger if you have finished with your homework, I would like you to join me as well." And with a bright smile for the rest of the students he climbed back out of the portrait hole, and held the painting open for Hermione and Ginny. "This way please." He said and led them off.
Hermione chanced a glance at Ginny and shot her a look that asked, "What happened?" Glancing at Dumbledore to make sure he wasn't watching, Ginny just shrugged her shoulders in reply. After a few short minutes Hermione realized, with a jolt, that they were fast approaching the stone gargoyle that stood at the entrance to the headmasters office.
Dumbledore spoke the pass word, "skiving snackboxes", and started up the spiraling staircase with Hermione and Ginny panicking in his wake, and followed. Once inside the office, Hermione took a quick glance around, and what she saw confirmed her fears. Seated around in the office were Cho, Luna, Hannah, Susan, Pansy and Millicent. Somehow, Dumbledore knew! With a lazy wave of his wand, two more chairs appeared for the two girls, and he sat himself behind his desk.
"Well," he began and glanced from one girl to the next, "lemon drop anyone?" He let out a slight chuckle at the looks of confusion he received, cleared his throat and began again when no one took him up on his offer.
"Now, I am already aware that the eight of you are behind everything that has been happening to a certain professor," seeing the looks of wild panic on the girl's faces', he raised his hands and continued, "I have known all along it was you behind all of it. I even know why you have been doing what you doing"
Glancing from one to another, he saw the same emotion echoed on all the faces, and added, "No, my dears, none of you have informed me, or any other professor. Not one of you has betrayed your new friends." And he was happy to see relief wash over the girls.
"I must commend you, yes commend you," he repeated himself when Hermione and Pansy both opened their mouths to speak, but he went on, "Not just on the wonderful displays of magic you have been performing, to which I must say well done. But also that all of you have worked together, and so well. It is for this reason, and this reason only, that you will receive no punishments for your actions past or future, and long as you allow no one to get hurt. When all of this is over, I hope you will allow the other students to see that it is possible to put all this house rivalry behind you, and become friends"
With another chuckle at the looks he was receiving, "However, I must ask that you allow our potions professor to return to us. I dare say he has become quite... shall we say, annoyed at wandering through the forest and Hogsmeade looking for us. Also, I believe that the parents are beginning to panic, none of their owls they have sent can get through to deliver them. I must ask that you, Pansy, lift your charm so that Professor Snape can find his way back.
With a last smile for each girl, he gestured them out of his office and down the stairs. Once out of ear shot, they let out a collective sigh. Approaching Pansy Hermione offered, "I'll go down with you, and after you lift your charm I'll put a new one in place. Dumbledore told us to let Snape find the castle, so that's what we'll do."

Outside:
All of a sudden, as though run over by an invisible and run-away broom, it hit Snape. He was looking for HOGWARTS! How could he have forgotten? With a sigh of relief he made his way towards the castle. Striding across the grounds to the large doors he finally understood what had happened. Someone place a fidelius charm on the castle! That was why he couldn't find it! Why he received no reply from Dumbledore, and even why he couldn't remember the name Hogwarts. And he was also pretty sure he knew who did it.
So lost in thought as he was, Snape never noticed the girls standing just inside the double doors that led from outside into the entrance hall. Nor did he hear the muttered charm, and never felt it hit him.

He was halfway through the entrance hall when he froze. He was now facing the grand stair case leading upstairs, but his feet had been carrying him towards the dungeons. He couldn't remember where to go. He stood, fixed on the same spot for so long that the girls were beginning to worry that their charm went wrong. They all glanced at each other, trying to figure out what went wrong, when a loud roar caused them to jump at least a foot in the air and whirled around to see what the noise was.
It was Snape. He let out another howl of fury and ran to the stairs leading up.

"GOD DAMN IT ALBUS! WHERE THE HELL ARE MY ROOMS?" he shouted while all but flying towards the headmasters office.
Hermione smirked at his retreating back and said to the girls, "Well, Dumbledore told us to let him back into the castle. He never said anything about any rooms, including Snape's living quarters, did he?" The seven others laughed and bid one another goodnight and made their way back to their common rooms knowing that they, at least, would spend that night in their beds.

A/N: Okay, Okay, I know its been forever since I updated, but I had no freaking idea what to write... so if this chapter sucks, I'm sorry! It was this or nothing.
