Sorry Shaggy but am not actually gona have another chapter at home so…..hope ya will forgive me! However there will be another Snape confrontation with Harry so I hope that will make up for it mate! Alright well enjoy and talk to ya later dudes:) :) :)

With Remus and Tonks engagement out in the open it was only a matter of time before it became public knowledge at Hogwarts. Obviously Harry, Ron, Rob and Hermione knew but Remus had requested that it go no further. However all that would soon change. Harry and company had double potions with Snape who for some reason was being even more cynical today. They were making a sleeping potion. Harry and Hermione teamed up much to Snapes annoyance whilst Ron and Rob worked together.

"So who do you suppose Tonks will have as her bridesmaids?" Hermione whispered to Harry. He turned to her and shook his head. Ron and Rob listened intently.

"I don't know…..obviously Lucia will be one…."

"Harry, Lucia will be her matron of honour since she is married!" Hermione stated matter of factly before shaking her head and sighing to herself.

"Oh right……well I guess some friends then….."

"Why are you so interested anyway Hermione? Do you reckon that she will ask you love?" Rob asked with a smirk that made her act quite defensively.

"Oh Rob you don't half talk rubbish! I was merely asking out of curiosity seen as she only has one sister….."

"Well she will probably ask Arielle and maybe Ginny too." Harry said making Ron smirk.

"Do you really think that she will ask Ginny? What about the twins Harry? I doubt she would leave them out mate!"

"Well we could always ask Ron….."Harry suggested.

"Then that would seem like we were looking for….."

"Why is it that when you four work together no work is ever done?" Snape droned making them look up at him with pure hatred.

"Oh…..well….."Hermione started but Harry interjected.

"We aren't working together actually sir. As you can see Ron and Rob are a set as Hermione and I are also! So if you wouldn't mind removing your fat, ugly, contorted face from our bench maybe just MAYBE we could actually get your god damn potion done!"

Normally at a time like this Ron and Rob along with the other Gryffindors would be laughing or smiling broadly at Harry's protest but this time they had to side with Hermione in thinking that he had gone too far. All the Slytherins stared in Harry's direction; one more delighted than the other that Harry Potter would final receive his comeuppance. Snapes lip curled into an alarmed smirk. He always wanted Harry expelled and it looked like he was finally about to make this happen. Harry continued to stare at Snape malevolently. Finally Snape spoke.

"Well well haven't we got a poor bedside manner this morning Potter. Of course I always knew you had but……lets see how the headmaster feels about this." Harry continued to at stare him as Snape once again smirked triumphantly. He turned sideways as he shouted….

"Thirty points from Gryffindor!" The Slytherins up roared in laughter whilst the Gryffindors protested but to no avail…..

"SILENCE! You have only your house mate to blame. Now….I want to see all the potions on my desk when I come back. So…..Potter lets go!" He turned back to Harry who had his arms folded across his chest still staring at him with pure malice.

"You think you are so tough but I know certain facts that could bring you down! I wouldn't push my luck if I were you……sir…." As Harry unfolded his arms and stormed out of the room, Snape stared concernedly after him. Of course he would never let a student intimidate him but this wasn't any ordinary student. This was his arch rival's son. He quickly followed in hot pursuit. He shortly caught up to him half way up the corridor.

"Potter! Potter I want a word with you!" Harry stopped, turned around and glared at him.

"Don't you ever again try to intimidate me like that because it won't work boy!"

"Is that so? Well you certainly looked like you were bricking it there for a moment!"

"Don't push your luck Potter. You may have one the battle…..too many for my liking but by god you will not win the war!"

"Is that a threat……?"

"Now come on and let's see what the headmaster has got to say to you!"

"IS THAT A THREAT? OI! IS THAT A THREAT SNAPE? COZ YOU ARE ABOUT TO MAKE THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF YOUR LIFE IF YOU EVN SO MUCH AS…." They were on the same corridor as Mc Gonagall and Remus who both immediately emerged from their offices to investigate the sudden outburst.

"What the devil is going on here? Potter why aren't you in class?"

"Coz I am going to see Professor Dumbledore on Professor Snapes orders…"

Remus eyed Harry suspiciously as Snape stormed back.

"Professor Snape…..what is going on?"

"Potter has crossed the final line so as a result…..Dumbledore will have to implement some serious discipline. I am hoping that expulsion is on the cards…."

"Ya well you have wanted me out since day one you miserable, warped git!"

Minerva gasped as she removed her glasses whilst Remus stared at him seriously. He couldn't hide the slight smirk but at the same time knew that Harry had to learn to hold his tongue once in a while.

"Harry that is enough mate….."

"Oh I see the werewolf has found his voice…..how nice of you to join the conversation Lupin. Tell me this though is it true that werewolves can only conceive wolf cubs?"

"Well if that's the case Ill bet that they will be a right side better looking than you!"

"Harry…….." Remus droned but to no avail.

"Professor Snape perhaps it would be fruitful for you to return to your class now. Remus and I shall escort Harry to Professor Dumbledore."

"I have no problem fulfilling my duties…."

"That was not a request it was an order! As vice head mistress of this school I am authorising you to do so. Don't worry you will get your apology." Harry was about to protest but Remus who had anticipated it rushed over and covered his mouth with his hand. Snape reluctantly returned to the dungeons. After he was out of sight Minerva turned to Harry and said…..

"Now I don't know what you said or did Potter but I must tell you this. Under this roof you are to abide by the rules and that includes respecting staff and students. I understand that you and Professor Snape are not on the best of terms but that does not give you the right to disrespect him at any time. Do you understand?"

"Yes professor….." Harry replied glumly.

"Right…..and I hope that you will understand when I say this. As head of Gryffindor house I must embark upon some punishment. Therefore I regretfully ban you from any Hogsmeade trips for the month…."

"The month? But Professor….."

"I want no arguments Harry. You are lucky that is all you are being disallowed from. The next time you are out of line it will be your place on the quiddtich pitch that will suffer. Do I make myself clear?" Harry nodded as he said reluctantly….

"Yes professor….."

"Alright well…..perhaps Remus will escort you to see Professor Dumbledore then."

"Certainly Minerva……"

"Right…..I am sorry Harry but…..we cannot give provincial treatment to some students and not the others. I hope you understand……"

"Yes professor….." She smiled sadly before returning to her office.

"So…….perhaps you could tell me what you actually said to Snape." Remus suggested as he and Harry headed to see Dumbledore.

Well………what did you think? I hope the last chapter and this one weren't too disappointing for ye! Time is of the essence coz uni starts in a month so…have to get this part done! Sorry and hope ya liked it! Talk 2 ya:) :) .
