Note: I only own Emily Courtney and Norm.

Courtney's POV

The next Monday I woke up and realized we were late for class. I quickly checked my schedule. We had dad's class first, so Emily and I took our time dressing and walked to class twenty minutes late. Surprisingly Dad was angry at this and told us to go straight to the headmaster's office. We both shrugged then when we were in the hall once again, we joined elbows and skipped down the hall singing "We're off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of Oz…". We got half way there when Flitch stopped us. Unluckily Norm had been tormenting Crookshanks again and Hermione had sent him out to bother others in the school, and he chose this moment to run by chasing Mrs. Norris.

"Who dog is that?" Filch nearly screamed.

"Ours sir, now we have to see Dumbledore if you don't mind." Emily replied.

Filch seemed to be having some kind of seizure but I figured he be fine so we stepped around him and continued our skipping and singing. When we reached Dumbledore's office he asked us to sit down and said. "This is a serious issue you are late to every one of you DADA classes, half of your transfigurations and most of you others. Care to explain?"

"We overslept today and the other day we were…um…preoccupied with "helping" the first years." I said.

"And sir I really doubt your ability to see things as they really are. Considering that you hired Quirrel who had Voldemort on the back of his head, Lockheart who was only good at memory charms and eventually had his memory earased, Lupin who was a werewolf, Mad-eye Moody who turned out to really be Barty Crouch Jr. a Death Eater in disguise, Umbridge who was just messed up in the head, Trelawney predicts some kid's death every week and Slughorn why the Hades did you hire him?" Emily pointed out.

Well I do have to admit we haven't had the best luck with our DADA teachers and Slughorn is here for a special purpose." Dumbledore stated. "But that is not the issue we are discussing. I must write you father but I still don't have his name. What is it?"

We both began cracking up. Dumbledore stared at us like we were mad. Emily had given up on stopping laughing and was just embracing it.

I took several deep breaths and said. "You can't tell? I'll give you clues. You know him. We have similar hair, but ours are not greasy. Can you guess who it is?" I asked.

"What those clues make no sense I know many wizards and what does hair have to do with anything?" Dumbledore said looking confused.

"Fine we'll tell you." I said.

"But you won't believe us." Emily said just as she got over her laughing fit.

"Well here it goes." I said.

"Our. Father. Is. Snape." We said together.

Emily added. "Now if you excuse us we have to attend to the fifth house."

Dumbledore's POV

"What there isn't a fifth house? Is there?" Dumbledore called but it was too late the girls were gone off to Aveda Kedavra.

_Later_

I paced in my study. It would be tonight I was sure of it. Harry and I had to go to the cave tonight. Then Harry arrived and we left for the cave.

Emily's POV

We went back to our common room to find Norm attacking all the cats.

"That's my baby-boy." Courtney said to Norm. Then she picked him up and sat down with him on her lap. Neither of us could think of anything to add to the house so we both pulled out books and began to read. I was reading Found by Margaret Peterson Haddix and Courtney was reading Into the Wild by Erin Hunter when we heard a loud bang followed by a lot of commotion. We decided to see what had happened. There was a full scale battle going on and the Death Eaters were there. Yaxley saw us and flinched missing the person he was aiming at by a mile. Courtney and I each pulled out our wands and rushed to the astronomy tower where the main fight seemed to be happening.

When we reached the tower we saw Bella, Draco and Dad among others there.

"Leave girls." Dad said.

"And miss the fight no way." I said.

"Fine just fight in the halls at least." Dad pleaded.

"Fine." Courtney huffed and we ran back down to the battle below.

The fight was going fine until one of the Weasleys fell backwards and broke my wand. I swore at him. But I wasn't going to let that stop me from fighting. I punched someone I later found out to be Nymphadora Tonks and gave her a nasty fat lip. Then a spell hit me and I fell unconscious.

When I awoke I was in the infirmary in the bed next to Nymphadora. Great! Now everyone will know we side with Voldemort. I was still exhausted so I let myself slip back into dreams.
