Chapter 11: Werewolves In the Bathroom!

~Severus~

"Hey Snape, weren't you listening?" I heard one of the arrogant little brats, Regulus and Paton disturbing me from my spying mission. I was busy watching those four Gryffindor's and trying to catch what they were saying. They looked secretive hunched together looking all serious. I mean it wasn't unusual to see Potter and his friends being secretive, they always were but they would smirk or giggle to each other with cheeky grins spread across their faces. But this time for once there were no smiles in fact they looked pretty grim even Black looked worried but Potter looked determined and so did Lily. Another thing that was strange, Lily was with them, she likes Loopy Lupin doesn't she? Last year she couldn't stand sitting on the same table as Black or Potter but this time she was talking, engaging herself with them which was not something you would expect. What looked even stranger was that the fat boy wasn't with them, what was his name again? Peter? Percy? Or something like that?

Never mind his name is not important, but it was strange not to see the Fat kid with them in fact I've not seen him since we left for the summer, he wasn't even with them when I awoke from my unconsciousness and found myself in some weird lady's cottage that summer, did something happen? Not that I care for Peter but it was deserving…

"Earth to Snape, earth to Snape," either Paton or Regulus clicked their fingers in front of my face trying to get my attention.

"What?" I snapped, getting a bit frustrated but the younglings didn't want to back off (Even though they were only a year younger than me).

"Are ya' still going to that meetin' tonight," asked Paton, oh the poor boy can't speak properly, at least he was not as bad as Hagrid.

"Of course I am," I said with a smirk, I wouldn't miss it for the world.

"I hope so," said Regulus in all seriousness, "Every Slytherin from Years four to seven are expected to attend."

"Yep, we don't won't any littlies gettin' in the way, not until they become useful," Paton said returning my smirk. The thing I like about Paton over Regulus is that Paton gets a good kick out this, he joined because he's a psychopath while Regulus is more serious and is probably doing this to impress his family more than anything, but me? Well I have my reasons…

"But we also don't want any of the other houses eavesdropping either," Regulus said nodding his head towards the house tables behind him specifically the Gryffindor table. "Why were you looking other there before?"

"It's obvious isn't it?" said Paton laughing "He's lookin' at that Mudblood Evans."

"Don't be pathetic!" I snapped, I don't know why but I could feel my face burning up.

"Then why are you all red?"

"Don't you have prefect duty soon?!" I asked, trying to change the subject. Paton looked confused for a moment before smirking, "Oh yes and guess who I'm on patrol with?"

"Like we care," said Regulus tucking into his mashed potato. Paton just carried on like he didn't hear her.

"Annabelle Lovegood."

"The weird Ravenclaw girl?" I asked with surprise, it was not uncommon for Slytherin and Ravanclaw prefects to mix but Annabelle Lovegood was a weirdo. She enjoyed experimenting with different spells, not much different from me really, but my art was more in potion making and testing it on small animals rather than using spells that could back fire any day…I'm telling you she's crazy.

All of a sudden the doors to the great hall flew open, everyone stopped what they were doing as the caretaker, Argus Filch ran like a mad man to the middle of the great hall with eyes as huge as golf balls, his long hair looked wild and messy, with his cat running behind him, he looked up to the head table where the teachers sat. Dumbledore stood up from his seat as the room grew tense with silence as all eyes where upon Filch. Filch's mouth trembled, and gasped like a fish finally he managed to stutter.

"W-w-werewolves in the g-girl's b-b-b-bathroom."

"Pardon Argus?" Dumbledore questioned apparently not everyone heard correctly but I heard perfectly

"WEREWOLVES IN THE GIRLS BATHROOM!" Mr Filch shouted and suddenly the whole room was in panic. Pupils started screaming, picking up their bags, gathering in group's huddling together, and joining with friends, siblings and cousins. I don't know where Paton and Regulus got to, I didn't care, the point was I was just standing there like an idiot, not knowing what to do with myself. I didn't want to run round the Great Hall like a maniac, which was what everyone else was doing, I didn't want to leave because the werewolves could be wondering around the school. For some reason I felt like I should be doing something, taking control, trying to find Potter and his gang, somehow I felt like this included me, all of us Potter, Black, Lupin and Evens and three other people and me, but how could that be possible I will never join with those Gryffindor's and I can't remember what other three people I'm thinking off, it was giving me a head ache.

Luckily Dumbledore took control, snapping me out of my thoughts.

" E!" the tall breaded man ordered, his voice echoing though the hall as the students stopped and turned to their Headmaster, including me, I could see Potter and his group doing the same. "Everyone please we must remain calm!" Dumbledore continued, "prefects escort your house back to their dorms, Argus which bathroom is it?" he asked the caretaker.

"The haunted one sir."

"I see," the headmaster nodded, "teachers follow me, students to your dorms." There was a huge hustle and felt someone push me from my spot and a rude voice shot

"Move it Snape!" I turned to tell his person off but to my surprise it was Venetia Bone with a Head Girl badge! Why of all the people Dumbledore had to make Head Girl he had to choses Venetia? Had he been possessed or something? She was brutal, a bully, everything a Slytherin should be…well no, she was stupid, getting the lowest grades, skipping classes, useless with a wand, eats with her mouth open, and so gullible.

"What are you looking at!" She barked at me again and remembering that she wasn't the least of my worries, I went off following the other Slytherins out the hall, trying to spot something but I don't know what. I couldn't see Regulus anywhere or Paton (Even though he should be helping the other prefects escort the others out safely).

I could see Evans and Lupin leading a bunch of first year Gryffindor back to their dorms. I'd rather go and talk to them about my strange desire to do something, than seek Potter and Black but I knew they were too busy.

I needed to do something.

Once I was out the Hall with all the other students I just knew it was pointless to go back to the dormitory and in my stupidly I split from my group and ran to the place what Filch had called the haunted bathroom, Moaning Myrtls bathroom…

I deeply apologize for the long wait (Yet again). This has been a very important year for me I got my GCSE's and I did better than expected. I have also started collage this year and I love it but they have already thrown assessment after assessments at me so don't expect quick updates.

I thought I'd done too many James chapters so I think it's time for another charter. I love Snape and he is a part of this story as much as the others. His chapter will also carry on though the next (considering this chapter is short).

Again I would like to thank Chloe (Guest), who sent me two lovely reviews but sadly Fanfiction won't let me reply to her you should get a Fanfiction account. But thanks for reviewing and the second review made me finish this chapter LOL !
