WHERE?
The next day Harry and Alizabith wake to the a wonderful smell, Bacon and sausage. They follow their noses down the stairs and into the kitchen where they were met with the sight of Snape fixing breakfast. He was wearing a determined expression on his face while he was cutting up a tomato to put in the omelet. that was sitting in a pan to the left of his hand.
"Morning Snape. Did you stay here last night?" Alizabith asks. Snape looks over at them and scowl's.
"Not a morning person?" Harry asks.
"No." Snape answers.
"NO, that you're not a morning person? or NO, you didn't sleep here last night? I'm confusuled" Alizabith asks. While Snape precisely placed the slices of tomato into the omelet.
"Lizzy do you have to make up words." Harry asks her, While Snape went to the fridge to get some shredded cheese.
"Yep. So Snape. which one is it, I am still confusuled." Alizabith asks.
Snape lets out a big sigh. Then says "No to both questions Ms. Potter." he goes back to making his omelet he was now putting the cheese in and on it. Harry starts to looking around the kitchen it had a dark medium-sized table in the middle of the room. The stove was a midnight black and looked very worn probably of repeated use without cleaning. The fridge was right across from the stove it was a gray dingy color. He noticed there was no windows in the room. The kitchen was lit by a few candles though, and they were all around the room.
"Is there a reason you are in here?" Snape asks. While he scoops up his omelet and puts it on a plate.
"Maybe. Is there a reason you are cooking here if you didn't stay here?" Alizabith questions back. Snape just raised his eyebrow at her.
"I wish I could do that." Alizabith pouts.
"Wish you could do What Ms. Potter." Snape asks while he goes sits down at the table
"You know raise only one eyebrow. Can I color on your face?" Alizabith asks. Snape scowls at her
"No you may not."
"Then may I?" Harry Asks.
"NO!" Snape says coldly. "Do you need something?"
"Yes. But I don't know if I should ask if your going to be a grumpy pants again." Alizabith states
"What is it that you needed?" He asks again
"Well do you know how to make pop-in eggs?" Alizabith asks while Harry shakes his head vigorously.
"Make What?" Snape asks with a confused look on his face.
"You know. Eggs that you cook. That still has the yolk. Then you stab them with your fork, then it goes all over your plate" Alizabith states
"You mean fried eggs?" Snape asks. Harry and Alizabith shake their head vigorously.
"If I make them will you go somewhere else?" he asks
"I can not make any promises." Harry tells him. Snape scowls but he gets up off his chair, and starts pulling out the eggs and pans.
"Thanks Snapers." Alizabith says.
"What did you call me." Snape asks, while cracking an egg.
"ummm, Snapers." she says again. While looking sheepish. Snape just rolled his eyes and continued cooking the eggs. Harry, and Alizabith walk closer and stood by his right elbow looking into the pan.
Snape looks over and pushes Alizabith's head back away from the pan. Soon their fried eggs were made and they were eating at the table having a relatively quite meal.
"Snape have you heard the gummy bear song?" Alizabith asks.
"NO I have not heard it." Snape answers.
"Do you want to hear it?" Harry asks.
"No." Snape answers again.
"A, B, C, D, E, F, G." Harry starts.
"Gummy bears are chasing me." Alizabith chimes in.
"I said no I do not want to hear it." Snape says. But they were not listening and continued singing.
"One is blue." Harry starts singing again.
"One is green" Alizabith chimes in again. Snape sighs, then puts his head in his hands and shakes his head.
"one is chewing on my shoe. Now im running for my life. because a red one has a knife." they finish together.
Snape looks up and asks "are you two quiet finished."
"Yes I think so." Alizabith and Harry answer.
"Are you staying here tonight. Or not?" Harry asks
"Do you live in a house or a cave like batman." Alizabith asks
"Batman did not live in a cave Lizzy he lived in a mansion. His hideout was in a cave." Harry tells her.
"No im not staying here tonight and neither are you two." Snape says.
Harry gives a confused look and tilts his head to the side. Then asks "Why wont we be staying tonight?"
"Why wont you answer my question?" Alizabith asks.
"Because Dumbledore has said you were to stay with me?" Snape ignores her question altogether.
"WHERE? Why cant we stay here?" Alizabith and Harry ask simultaneously. They drop what they were holding in Harry case it was his cup of pumpkin juice which spilled all over the table and started dripping to the floor. In Alizabith's case it was just her fork.
"Dumbledore wants you two to learn occlumency." Snape answers. with a curled lip. While he went to the nearby cupboard that Harry hadn't notice before. He brings back a few towels to clean up the mess of juice. They get the mess cleaned and with a flick of Snape's wand the towels vanish to who knows where.
"Which is?" Harry asks.
"A magical defense of the mind against external penetration." Snape answers.
"Sounds boring. Back to my earlier question do you live in a cave or a house?" Alizabith questioned. While twirling her fork around.
"I live in a house now quit asking." Snape answers while getting up out of his chair and placing his plate and utensils in the sink to wash them.
"Aww. You suck big hairy butt cheeks. I wanted you to live in a cave." Alizabith pouts. Soon Harry and Alizabith were done eating. So they decided to go up stairs to tell their friends the terrible news.
"Why are you not staying here?" Ron asks for the fifth time now. It was starting get on Harry's and Alizabith's nerves.
Harry made a face and says."Because Dumbledore wants Alizabith and I to learn occlumency."
"I heard you the first time but why Snape, and not Dumbledore?" Ron asks.
"i didn't ask." Harry admits.
"what is the occlu- thingy for?" Ginnie asks.
"Ummmm a defense that fights a mind intrusion. At least that's what I think Snape said" Alizabith answers.
"that's not exactly how Snape said it Lizzy." Harry tells her. Alizabith just sticks her tongue out at him.
"Do write and tell us." George starts
"If Snape sleeps in a coffin." Fred finishes.
"Um OK." Harry answers.
"MR. AND MS. POTTER ITS TIME TO GO." Snape yells from down stairs.
"HOLD YOUR PANTIES ON!" they all yell back. To soon the goodbyes were finished and they were on their way to Snape's house. They were going by car because apparently the ministry was watching the floo. They make it to Snape's house in about an hour without any incidents. His house was very run down looking paint chipping of the walls. The yard looked like it hadn't been cut or watered in years.
"I think im liking the batman cave more and more." Harry states.
"Ditto." Alizabith says. The three of them get out of the car and go inside the house after Snape unlocks the door. The inside was no better dust about an inch thick on all the books and furniture they can see.
"You two will be sleeping upstairs the second door to your left will be the room." Snape says. He walks away and leaves them to their own devises.
"Harry want to have some fun?" Alizabith asks.
"sure but what will we do?" Harry asks back
"mess with him of course." she says while walking over to the nearest book shelf while pulling out her wand. With a twirl and swish of her wand the books and bookshelf turn a bright pink color.
"Lizzy were not supposed to use magic outside of Hogwarts." Harry tells her
"Well if you read Hogwarts a history you would know that they can not tell who does the magic if your with an adult wizard." Alizabith states. She goes to the other wall with her wand out and turns the wall a bright canary yellow. "stop worrying and start helping you dope." she tells him. So harry goes to the next wall and turns it a highlighter orange color. Soon the room was in different colors the floor a deep purple. The ceiling a medium blue. The doors in the room a bright green.
"what about the furniture." harry asks.
"well I was thinking of making it so if you put a body part on them you would turn into that furniture's color. Or covering it with sparkles but since I picked to do the walls in different colors you get to do the furniture." Alizabith answers.
"why don't we make it if you sit on a certain furniture it turns there hair into different colors? Just to go with the theme of this room." Harry states
"sure!" Alizabith answers. So they spend a few hours making each furniture change hair different colors with just a touch. They made sure it would last the rest of the day. Once Harry and Alizabith were finished they go up stairs to look at the room Snape had given them. It was a nice size room with two beds on opposite walls the beds were covered with a bedspread that was in slitherin colors. At the end of each bed were there trunks hedwigs cage on top of Harry's trunk.
"Well im bored lets go do something else." Alizabith states. So they walk out of the room and look around the small hallway.
"Do you know the charm to make things talk to you when you walk by?" Alizabith asks
"I think so." harry walks over to the small end table that has a vase on it and pulls out his wand and gives it a little flick. The vase come's a live and started to tap dance across the table top. "apparently not." harry states
"that's good enough." Alizabith walks over to a small book shelf at the end of the hall and gives her wand a good flick and the books started to fly off their shelf to started singing and dancing the hokey pokey. "we need to go do this to the rest of the house." Alizabith says. So an hour or so later they were done charming random things around the house.
"POTTER! WHERE ARE YOU!" Snape yells. While turning the corner into the kitchen. Harry and Alizabith hurriedly put their wands away. When he got into the kitchen both Harry and Alizabith start to howl with laughter for Snape robes turned a maroon red, his boots were a bright blue, while the laces a canary yellow. His skin was a dark purple color, and his hair was pink with green pokadots all over.
"Which Potter Snape." Harry asks when he catches his breath
"What the hell did you do to my house." Snape asks them
"Nothing that Dumbledore didn't tell us to do." Alizabith answers
"Dumbledore told you to do this?" Snape asks sceptically
"of course why else would we charm the things different colors." Harry goes along.
"then what about my furniture moving on their own accord." he asks
"well that is a charms project that I had for homework charm things to sing dance move talk." Alizabith answers. Snape goes to the table and was about to pull out a chair when all six chairs moved out of there places and started to twirl around the table. After a minute or two the chairs hurriedly moved in to place while the table got smaller only five chairs could fit at the table so the other chair went to the wall.
"who charmed my table and chairs to play musical chairs." Snape asks.
"Billy Joe did it, bad Billy Joe." Harry tells the air to his left while shaking his finger at it.
"There's no one there?" Snape tells him
"There is to! Billy Joe is invisible he had a wand accident." Alizabith argues. She walks over to where harry said he was and slings an arm around invisible Billy Joe. "oops sorry Billy Joe didn't mean to knock you over." she says while she puts her down and lifts invisible Billy Joe to his feet. They both leave while taking each of invisible Billy" hands and leading him up the stairs to their room.
