>THIRD PERSON<
Scarlet's eyes started to tear up again, and she shook my head. "I did too, Sev. But look at what it got me." she replied. Snape stepped foward to hug her, when she backed away. "And sometimes, maybe... I need to breath for a while." she added, smiling weakly.

She turned back, running off.

Snape looked at the wall, and punched one of his fists, making it bleed. "I'm a bloody idiot... I'm a bloody idiot.... I'm a bloody idiot!" he roared, and roughly combed his hair with the other hand. I don't understand! Why can't I just have one thing?! Scarlet! But no! Life was too poor to give it to me!

As he got back to his chambers, Severus plunged into his arm chair, and gulped on one of the glasses of wine. His owl, black as midnight, kept on eating pieces of corn beside him, that didn't really do much help. He looked at a picture of Lily on his desk, but smashed it, as he slammed it downwards. "I've already made a mistake... And now I've done two!!!" he bellowed. He suddenly looked towards the door when someone came in. "Severus, there's something we need to talk about." Felixa's voice said.

"What is it, Flora."

"Raven.... You know the relationship between us two. And, there's something more to her than meets the eye. You know her past... Scarlet, she can't bear to find out. Severus... You know what Teresa Carter told you."

"Flora, she won't even talk to me! This isn't working. Teresa trusted you first! Why wouldn't you do it?"

"You were better than me. Jones knew me too well, and now she's slithering up to you. You need to stay away from her. Not please, but must."

"I'm broken. I can't do this! I'll fail her! Like how I failed on Lily!"

"Please, Severus. Scarlet loves you too much. No matter what she says, deep down she's screaming it. Please. Time changes, and I know, this time, you'll succeed."

"I'll do the task. But I need to regain her trust."

"That I can't do."

"Mhmp!!!!" a voice muffled, echoing across the dungeon halls. Felixa and Snape suddenly looked at each other. "Wait..."

"Scarlet... She's the only..."

"Come on!!"

~MINUTES EARLIER~

Scarlet finally arrived at the common room and threw herself towards the bed. But even after the twisting, and turning, nothing seemed to work on helping her sleep. She groaned quietly, then stared at the starry night. What to do... What to do.... Out of her mind, she slipped out of the common room, and thought of going back to that old mirror.

But Hogwarts was so huge. She forgot the way there and accidentally found herself at a dark corridor.

"I'm not supposed to be here...."

Scarlet shrieked loudly as a man grabbed her and pinned her against the wall.

"Get off me!" she screamed, trying to break free. The man pressed his body against her, brought out a blade, and smiled as he laid it down flatly on her throat. Scarlet went silent, & tightly closed her eyes. "Very good. We need to get you out of this place."

He whipped his wand, and Scarlet's mouth, arms, legs & eyes were tied with white pieces of cloth. "Mhmp!!!" She screamed, trying to run. Someone was kidnapping her, with no clue of who it was... And the fact no one will ever find her again nor save her. Later another man arrived, and carried Scarlet outside. She kept on driving her feet everywhere, trying to fall off the man's muscular arms. "Sir, the girl won't stop."

"Gag her."

Black.

(And it wasn't Sirius... We already checked.)

Scarlet was knocked out, in deep slumber just like that muggle fairytale. The two men caught up with a group, in front of the Black Lake where it revealed a large ship, parked by the deck. "Get her in. The boss won't be happy with this -"

"STOP YER' BIG BAFOONS!"
bellowed Hagrid. Followed by McGonagall, Snape, and Felixa.

"Go! Take the girl! We'll handle them!" another man shouted angrily. They whipped out their wands, when McGonagall waved her own. Later, they were all disarmed. "Bring out the loot!" One man shouted.

The loot were boggarts.

Each and every one appeared in front of them. "Riddikulus!" Felixa shouted, "We need ter ge' Scarle'!" Hagrid exclaimed, pointing his pink umbrella towards a man threatningly. Each boggart turned into each professor's fear. Felixa's turned into a giant python, Hagrid's was a large, evil-looking Horgarian Horntail, McGonagall's was her younger self, carrying a broom with a broken arm, and Snape's was Scarlet, mocking and murmuring hurtful words about him. Everybody had to fight the boggarts away, which was harder when the men attacked. Each teacher had a special ability, that he/she possess. But, Hagrid was so angry that he shot large sparks to the air, more similar to fireworks, and towards the ship.

"YOU BLUNDERING IDIOT! SHE'S IN THE BLOODY SHIP!" And we all know who bellowed that.

Snape, who had the ability to fly (again, sorry), flew directly to the burning ship. "Scarlet!!!" he shouted, trying to avoid getting his cloak on fire. "Oh, forget it!" he shouted irritatedly, and threw it off. There was only one door locked, and Scarlet was in it. "Bombarda Maxima!!!"

The door blasted to the ground, and there, Scarlet was lying across the desk, completely asleep. He rushed to her, and wrapped his cloak around her. "Stop it right there!" shouted a voice. A man entered the room. Attempting to kill Snape, but was too dumb enough to fight him. With Snape's simple wave of hand, the man's throat was cut, and he fell upon his feet. "Idiot. He got my robes dirty!" Snape exclaimed, and took Scarlet. "Scarlet, wake up." he muttered, but the witch wasn't moving. He had no choice but to Apparate with her, carrying Scarlet bridal style.

When they got back there, it was a battle against bad & good. 7 against 4, no wizard or witch can possibly make this out alive. But one wizard made a lovely entrance.

"Get away from my niece." and punched a man right across the face with a tight fist.

"Black! What a dramatic entrance! You had to come when we're all done." Snape said sarcastically, while firing spells across the grounds. "Of course, Snivellus. The usual. Mocking me in life-threatning events."

It was Padfoot.

"WOULD YOU TWO JUST STOP BICKERING AND HELP US! I'LL STRANGLE THE BOTH OF YOU WITH ONE MORE TEASE!" Felixa bellowed, as both men rolled their eyes.

"Sectumsepra!"
"Expelliarmus!"
"Impedimenta!"
"Ebublio!"
"Crucio!"
"Petrficus Totalus!"
"Avada kedavra!" ("How dare you!" Felixa roared, and choked the man by the neck.)
"Levicorpus!"
"Stupefy!"
"Colloshoo!"
"Confundo!"

"Go! They took the girl! Tell the boss!
Now!!!" a man shouted at the others. Their eyes met their burning ship, and each dissapeared before McGonagall can even hex them once more. "YOU COWARDS!" McGonagall bellowed, angrily. "Minerva, stop. It's over." Felixa whispered, placing an arm on the Headmistress' shoulder. "Scarlet! Where is she?" Sirius asked, they all spotted Snape, kneeling beside Scarlet. "We need ter' ge' her back ter the castle!" said Hagrid, following the staff to the Hospital Wing.

~~•~~•~~•~~•~~•~~•~~•

"Severus, did you bring the potion?" Madame Pomfrey asked, with a terrified look on her face. He nodded, and poured the liquid into Scarlet's mouth. Within a minute, she suddenly jolted out of her bed, and stared around the room, confused. "Whaddyajushappened?" she blurted out, when she shrieked as her head pound worse than ever. "Take this, dear. Remember, 20 minutes only." Poppy Pomfrey reminded them, making Scarlet drink an unpleasant looking potion.

"You were almost kidnapped." McGonagall told her, looking at Snape with a tiny smirk. "And someone saved you." Felixa added, Scarlet tilted her head. "Who saved me?"

Felixa couldn't help it anymore and laugh hysterically. McGonagall giggled silently, while Hagrid was beaming at Snape. The Potions Master blushed dark red, and strode out of the curtains, as Felixa laughed even more. "Darling, the one who saved you, just walked out of the curtain." she told her. Scarlet's eyes widened and she burried her face in her hands. "Oh, and Miss Carter, I need to talk to all of you in my office. Come, it's almost dawn, and students will wake up." said McGonagall, walking out of the Hospital Wing.

The walk to the office was very awkward to the fact that Felixa kept on smiling and squealing. "Stop it, Felixa. Or I swear I will hex you." Snape muttered deadly, "where's Padfoot?" Scarlet asked Hagrid. "He's in there. Been worried sick fer hours when yer weren' awake ye'." he replied, and whispered the password to the office.

"Scarlet!" Sirius exclaimed happily, and wrapped his arms around her.

"It's come to my attention, that Scarlet isn't safe any longer here in Hogwarts. That is why, Scarlet... You need to share chambers," McGonagall told all of them. Scarlet's eyes widened, share chambers? And who on earth will that be?

"With Severus."

Sirius, who was drinking some tea, unfortunately spat it all out, and rose from his seat the same time with Snape.

"WHAT?!" both men shouted in unision.

"She can't stay with the greasy git! She won't make it out alive!" Sirius said angrily.

"Well, Minerva, I hope you thought this through. Because she isn't my student, 15 years old, and a female!" Snape exclaimed, his nostril flaring.

"Sit down the both of you!" McGonagall roared commandingly, and slammed her hands towards the desk, making Fawkes the Phoenix jump. "It's whether you like it or not. Miss Granger couldn't share with her because she is sharing a house with Mr. Weasley. Flitwick cannot, for he didn't allow me. Felixa couldn't, even if she wanted to, because she is experimenting with Muggle artifacts for this semester ("It's true." Felixa stated.). And Hagrid has a small hut. Severus, you have the 2nd largest chambers here in Hogwarts."

They all found Scarlet, banging her head against the wall, muttering things. "It's only a nightmare... You're gonna wake up soon... Nothing happened..."

"Minerva, listen -"

"No, Sirius. For Scarlet has to. She will be in danger inside the dorms, and we can't have that, now? Unless you want to lock her up in a cell for 12 years, or not?"

Sirius was speechless. "Fine. But if Snivellus, you touch her, I will slice your neck off." he threatened, "like I'm scared, Black. Or do you need Moony, Prongs, and Wormtail to be behind your back?" Snape replied, angrily.

"Fine. Bring your trunk. You're staying in the guest room." Snape ordered Scarlet.

"Um, Professor McGonagall?" Scarlet asked kindly after everyone left except for Felixa, McGonagall and her. "Yes, dear?"

"Will this bother my school schedule?" she asked, "of course not. You just need to stay with Severus till the end of term." Felixa smiled again, and couldn't wait to check them for the next day.

~~•~~•~~•~~•~~•~~•~~•

"YOU'RE SHARING CHAMBERS WITH WHO?!" Xander roared, while Lyanna, Scarlet, and Ginny, planned ahead and made a wall of pillows. "He's gonna loose control in... 3.... 2... 1."

She was right. Xander went phsyco, and it took a while for him to cool off. "I'll fix this," Scarlet told them. She stared into Xander's eyes and controlled him to calm down. "I'm alright -" He blurted out, and fell on the floor sleeping deeply. "Now, let's go before the Increndible Hulk wakes up." Lyanna whispered, while the three pranced to the girl's dormitory.

Scarlet snook out of the common room with her trunk, flying behind her, and knocked on Snape's chambers. "Enter."

She came in, and gently placed her trunk beside her. "There are some rules you need to master while you stay here. One, never disturb me. Two, make noise, and you will end up sleeping in the Forbidden Forest. Three, you will address me by Severus, inside my chambers, understand?"

Scarlet nodded, when her eyes snapped towards a table. "My necklace!" she gasped, and rushed towards it. She wore it back on, and smiled. Snape noticed Scarlet was wearing a bracelet, she told him about that Mr. Smith gave.

"Scarlet, may I ask you a question?"

"Yes?"

"Are you... And Mr. Smith dating?"
