Chapter Three; Lost
Gee thanks guys, you're the greatest! Here's the next chapter and it's a great one for Halloween!
That's when suddenly Ron realized that he wasn't alone and that Snape was standing beside him. "Where's Harry, I thought he was with you." Snape said.
"I'm sorry sir, I thought he was with you! He just ran off to find you!" he exclaimed.
"Harry's all alone by himself!?" Snape shouted with bewilderment and disbelief. First he would find out where he was and make sure that he was safe, and then he would kill him for scaring him half to death. "Harry!" he hollered before he quickly darted away. "Harry!" he called again while meanwhile Harry was searching for him.
"Daddy!? Daddy where are you!?" he cried when all of a sudden he caught a glimpse of a haunted funhouse and a great big excited grin appeared on his face before he went inside. That's when all of a sudden Snape appeared breathing frantically. "Did you just see a little boy with black hair and green eyes go in there? He also had a lightning bolt scar on his forehead." He explained.
"Blimey, are you talking about Harry Potter?" the man asked him with a breath of astonishment and bewilderment as Snape simply shook his head and rolled his eyes. "That was just Harry Potter that just went in there? Bless my soul." He said.
"Wait a minute? Are you saying that you did see him?" Snape asked him eagerly.
"Yeah, he just went inside a few seconds ago. Poor little thing, trapped in there forever." The man told him breathing a heavy sad sigh and hanging his head.
"What!?" Snape cried before he pushed his way through the crowd continuing to call Harry's name.
"But sir you can't go in there!" the man hollered.
"I don't have a choice, I'm his father!" Snape hollered back over his shoulder as he finally made his way through the crowd and entered the dark tunnel. "Harry! Harry are you in here!?" he exclaimed.
"Daddy is that you?" he heard Harry's small voice respond.
"Listen son, we've got to get out of here." Snape told him.
"No way, you've really got to see this!" Harry cried as the sound of his voice traveled farther and farther away from him.
"Harry you get back here now!" Snape shouted angrily before lighting the tip of his wand and ducking his head as he went farther and farther down the tunnel. All of a sudden he saw a bright red light and was entering a really narrow area next to what appeared to be a modeled corridor with a portrait of a beautiful woman with long blonde hair, and bright blue eyes that matched her gown. That's when suddenly the picture changed into a boney phantom looking girl instead.
She held her hands out in front of her and gave an ear-piercing scream. Snape leapt about in the foot in the air but proceeded on his mission. As he continued walking down the hallway he came a crossed a hall of mirrors with different kind of creepy creatures inside them like clowns and ghouls. They each screamed into the mirror that Snape approached before they shattered it and that's when suddenly he fell through a trapdoor and started sliding down another tunnel on his back before landing on top of solid dirt ground with a thud.
"There you are Daddy, I've been looking all over for you." Harry said as Snape quickly leapt to his feet and then squatted down in front of him and tilted his chin back to look up at him.
"How many times have I told you not to go running off by yourself!?" he hollered. "The only reason that I let you go off with Ronald Weasley is because of the fact that you promised me that you would stay together! You could have been hurt, and that was an incredibly stupid thing to do!" he scolded.
"I know, I'm sorry Daddy!" Harry sobbed while he started blinking away his tears as Snape took a deep breath and sighed heavily.
"I know you are, but you've still got to face the consequences. So this is what is going to happen. As soon as we find our way out of here we are going home, and then you are going straight to bed no nonsense! And if you ever do this again, you'll find yourself grounded in your room with no television or videogames for a week!" he snapped. "Do you understand me?" he questioned him sternly as Harry nodded and sniffed before he rubbed his eyes.
"Alright then, come here and give me a hug." He told him before Harry threw his little arms around him and hugged him tightly. "There, there. It's alright now," Snape began as he started rubbing his back. "Everything is going to be alright." He reassured his son before kissing the top of his head. That's when all of a sudden Harry gasped.
"Uh yeah, I wouldn't be so sure of that." He told him as he shakily pointed his finger behind them. Snape quickly broke out of the embrace and whirled around to see that the ground was beginning to shake. That's when it finally occurred to him that they had been in a graveyard. All of the bones started rattling and rolling out from underneath their graves. "Come on Daddy we have to disapparate!" Harry yelled as he took ahold of his father's hand.
"We can't, that doesn't work down here!" Snape exclaimed.
"So then what are we supposed to do!?" Harry sobbed while continuingly blinking back his tears.
"What else, run!" Snape shouted before he lifted him up off the ground and hoisted him into his arms. Then he started running through the mud as fast as his legs could carry him while the bones rolled after him. That's when all of a sudden he withdrew his wand and pointed it at the wall. "Bombarda!" he exclaimed before the wall exploded and they escaped out of the opening together.
