Never As It Seems

"He's tricking you," gasped Rose.

Chelsea sighed. "Rose, he's not completely evil." she defended.

"Just completely tormented." Snape retorted

"What Snape says," said Rose.

Chelsea sighed. "Whatever, bro." with that she turned to leave.

Rose just shook her head and headed to the libary to read.

(Whoa ur gonna leave snape to the do...er...poter and his friends?)

I meant Lily left to the library as Rose waitied for Potty's answer.

(I thought it was holly)

Whatever their name is they went to the library.

"OKay. That was your sister, wasn't it? And she likes Riddle?" James grinned suddenly, and looked around at the first-years playing around the lake, "Sure, we'll help you. But, next time we need help, you will give it to us. Deal? I'm doing this to find out what he did to your sister, not out of any personal friendliness toward your mates."

Snape nodded. "Fine, deal. I don't care as long as Chelsea is okay and away from that scumball."

"Deal sealed," said Rose as she shook Potter's hand.

"No. You, don't touch me. I'll shake with Severus," said James with a look of hatred on his face, offering his hand to Snape.

Severus looked it over. He shook it but cringed waiting for some kind of electric jolt to shock him.

Rose turned away. Holly sat in the library reading up on ancient charms.

"Cool. Well, that's settled then," James had a thoughtful expression on his face before he suddenly turned, pulling his wand, and saying a spell that knocked Rose over, but didn't hurt, "And thats for attacking us. Now, we'll help both of you."

Severus smiled. "Thanks." he whispered before restoring his mask of crankiness.

"Hey!" cried Rose as she got up.

"Calm your passions," James laughed, "what exactly do you want us to do, Severus?"

Snape looked at him. "Anything to get him away from her."
