Dementors wanna play?

A/N: Hey guys!!! A new chapter. Hope you like it. Anyways,i decided to a add a stupid twist to the story. Just popped up into my head and I decided I wanted to play around that idea. Tell me how you like the new idea. Vote fan comment....

The first match of the season was nearing. I told Sirius about it. When I told him Harry was playing he sounded excited. More excited than he sounded when I told him I play Keeper infact. I frowned as I sat on my bed and put back my neck. I pressed the stress points in my neck gently and massaged them before I looked down again to my charms homework.

I was stressed. Homework was too much nowadays, the techers were overworking us to prepare us for our OWLS due next year and Sirius was putting me under pressure to find a way inside the Grydfindor commons. I know I can ask Fred the password but theres a different one everyday. I looked back at my essay and tried to remember the guy who invented the tickling charm. I know his name starts from 'S' but I cant remember. I cant concentrate. There are just too many thoughts right now and I can hardly stop them. I need to finish my essay. But Sirius wants to watch the match. And he will come. The dementors may sense him and come too. Merlin! I cant handle this.

I got up to get my charms textbook. I looked up the name of the wizard. I messed up big time. He wasnt even a wizard. It was a witch. Fern Azura. I wrote that particular detail down. I have been losing sleep recently. My eyes had dark circles under them. They looked dull and lifeless. All the lies were sucking my life out of me.

We were trying to devise a way to get Pettigrew without Black having to enter school. But we couldnt think of anything else. And him entering the castle was way too risky. Especially since the recent improvements.

I had been ignoring Dad ever since the last argument. He tried to talk to me after classes but I wont give him the chance. I would be with friends all the time to ensure he did not catch me alone. I just cant take it anymore. I dont want to keep lying but I have no choice till I get Pettigrew. I used my powers on Black last night. He did not even realise as I skimmed through his memories.

I dont need any more proof to know he is telling the truth. I have put all my efforts into catching Pettigrew but he is just very elusive. Every time I think I have got him he escapes. And I cant catch that rat personally. The cat I found out is Hermione's. His name is Crookshanks and the rat has been evading him too.

Black's memories gave me one more interesting fact. Remus Lupin is a child of the moon. Even though I highly doubt if I can call him a child. He is a werewolf. Now that I think of it every piece of theory fits in.

I got up from my bed and checked to see Perry and Fels,were sleeping. I pulled on my warm track pants and a jumper before I opened the door of the dorm to go out. It was Saturday tommorow. I could get up late. No one would mind it. I needed a midnight stroll. It would calm my head.

I walked out the commons and exited to the dungeons. It was cold today. I hugged my elbows as I shivered once. The gale was hitting the castle's stone walls hard and fast. The cold had seeped in through the dungeon walls. The candles along the stony walls cast a faint glow but no warmth. I exited the dungeons and came to the entrance hall. I could now see the rain even as it lashed ferociously at the trees in the grounds. I love the storms. Black has eyes that look like the stormy clouds.

Black... I sighed as I thought of him. The guy I wished the most painful death on. I was helping him now. I cant believe myself sometimes. I just act on a weird impulse. I smiled at my wierdness. Black told me some stuff on Haloween. The night he first broke,in into the castle. The first thing he told me was real wierd.

He said that mom was alive but lifeless. Comatose. What the fuck! Impissible. But his memories confirmed he wasnt lying. He had seen her in the comatose state. I wonder why Dumbledore kept that from me. I stopped and looked out over the wall. The rain lashed at my face. Cleared my thoughts. Maybe he just wanted me to be responsible about my power use. Maybe. I sighed. He had his reasons. Sure he did it for the greater good but what did he achieve by giving me eternal guilt is something I really want to know. I clenched my fist and grit my teeth. The old man had lied to me and now I want to know why.

The second thing he told me was wierder maybe but even that was the truth. I have always wanted a sibling. Someone to share eveything with. From brooms to boyfriends. A twin is what I have always wanted. Ever since I met Fred and George and saw their awesome connect I have been to be frank kinda jealous.

And Black comes and tells me I have a twin. A twin sister. But she has his eyes. This is,so weird. I feel like banging my head on the wall. But again I know that even this is just the truth that my banging my head isnt going to change anything. I frowned. Now I have to search for this twin and I have no clue where to start.

I dont think I will ever be able to call Black 'Dad'. That is something I started calling Severus as a kid. After knowing that I was adopted I did taken to calling him 'Mr. Snape.' but it started to get awkward. I connected with him. Felt safe with him. And isnt that how a father makes you feel? So I reverted back to calling him 'Dad' after asking if he did not mind.

I think I heard something move in the corner over there. I squinted my eyes. Must be some rat. Some rat? My eyes widened. Some rat! Oh c'mon I am not going to chase every rat now. But what is the harm in trying. One simple spell. It wont hurt the animal if it is a rat. I pulled off my right glove. Holding my wand up in my left I pointed it in the direction of the sound. Light footsteps sounded behind my and someone cleared their throat. I bit my tongue to keep from screaming. I turned slowy expecting Dad even though the sound wasnt as deep as his.

I turned to find a man with sandy brown hair with gray flecks in it and gold eyes. Lupin. He looked even more tired than normal today. Days just after full moon.

"Hi." I said fully aware of the fact that I was guilty and that he may drag me off to Dad. Get me into a confrontation I have been trying hard to avoid.

"What were you doing here?" he asked.

"I couldnt sleep at first. So I pulled out my homework but I couldnt concentrate. So I decided maybe a midnight stroll would do me good." I said giving him the truth. He narrowed his eyes at me.

"And what were you doing with your wand out?" he asked. Busted!

"I- I thought I saw a rat in the corner over there. Am scared of any kind of rodents." I muttered the half truth. His eyes narrowed further until they looked like slits.

"And the truth is?" he asked choosing to not believe me.

"Exactly what I told you." I retorted in a slightly annoyed tone.

"20 points from Slytherin for being out of hours and lying. I know you are lying. Now you tell me the truth or I dock off more points and take you to down to see Severus." he said in a stern tone. I sighed.

"What part do you think is a lie?" I asked him calmly.

"The part where you state you are scared of rodents. We both know what you are scared of and am certain I dont remember it to be rodents." he replied crossing his arms.

"Merlin! This guy is so nosy." I muttered angrily in a voice so low I was sure he did not hear me but he did.

"Yes I am nosey. Now tell me the truth." he repeated firmly. I sighed.

"I was not sleepy and I thought a midnight stroll may just help. So I started off and I reached here and I was watching the storm. And I was thinking how beautiful it is when nature is in fury." I said and he looked at me with an odd look of amusement.

"What?" I snapped and he shook his head.

"Go to your dorms,and dont get out. Its dangerous to be roaming around at this time you know?" he said gently and walked away as I stared back after him. I cocked my head to the left. This guy is hiding something my gut tells me. But what?

Weirdo. I swear he is a complete wierdo.

I walked back to my dorms not getting into trouble. I put back my study material and lay on my bed thinking. And I dont know when I fell asleep.

§¤§¤§¤§¤

I woke up late the next day. Not quite late but it did not matter. It was Saturday. And the first quidditch match of the season. I got up and got showered. I pulled on my black shirt and jeans. Over that I pulled on my favouraite yellow deep neck full sleeved woolen knit sweater. I kept the top two buttons of my shirt open.

I pulled out my wand and added canary yellow streaks to my black hair. Fels came out from the changing room. Perry had already left with Pucey to the match. "Wow! You looking good in Hufflepuff colours." she mused.

"Thanks." I muttered blushing as I applied my kohl and mascara. I pulled on my ankle length black leather heeled boots. I looked a bit extreme but still good. I put my wand in the holster attached to my belt on my left.

"I thought you would support Gryffindor." Fels stated sitting on the table beside the mirror so she was facing me. I raised an eyebrow to ask her what she meant by that. She sighed.

"Weasley." she said as if that explained everything.

"Oh! I know. Flint says the team will support Hufflepuff. It will help distract them and Hufflepuff are easy to defeat if they win." I replied as I tied my hair into my usual high ponytail.

"Oh! Okay then." she said pulling on her own shoes.

"Lets go." I said as soon as she got ready. She nodded and got up. She checked her reflection in the mirror once before we left arm in arm with a huge umbrella. We got to the Great hall for breakfast. I grabbed a quick toast and butter and saw Dad approach us so I made a quick escape. I dont know for how much longer I can keep running.

We got to the quidditch pitch under the umbrella cursing the rain and the wind as it blew off our umbrella. We got up to the Slytherin stands and Perry had saved seats for us. We were sitting with the quidditch team and Goyle and Crabbe were with us.

The match soon began but it was difficult to see as the players zoomed around on their brooms. The reason we were watching the match was we wanted to see Gryffindors in play. The match was going fair and square. The Gryffindors were far better than the Hufflepuffs. It would be childish to expect them to win. I saw from the corner of my eye as Dad arrived. He sat right behind us. I tensed a bit but diverted my attention to the match. And then I guess Potter saw the snitch somewhere above him. But so did Diggory.

Diggory looked good. Too good for my taste. He reminded me of Vlad with his looks. I watched as they both chased up the snitch and then someone gasped. Fels had her hand over her mouth and I followed her gaze to see atleast 5 dementors below the two. What were they doing here? Wanna play?

I looked down and saw the Grim like dog down there. Sirius! Stupid Sirius, really extremely stupid. That Black is a completely deranged crazy dimwit. And then someone screamed and I looked up to see where people were pointing to. Potter fainted. Dumbledore got up and cast the patronus charm. A pheonix emerged chasing away the dementors even as Dumbledore slowed his fall. Diggory caught the snitch seconds later and the poor guy did not even realise what happened.

The typical Hufflepuff that he is he demanded a rematch but they won fair and square. And now it would be easy to win the cup because now we have only Hufflepuff to defeat. And we have a seeker who doesnt faint when dementors are near. I feel guilty about this but Harry fainted and no one could have stopped Gryffindor from losing.

I got out the quidditch pitch and waved off the others saying I need some time alone. I transformed when I as at the edge of the forbidden forest and ran off in the direction of the Willow. I saw Lupin retrieving the remains of Harry's Nimbus and I felt real sorry for him. He is a good player.

I waited for Lupin to walk away and pressed the knot on the tree climbing up. Then I entered the tunnel.

"Oi Black!" I shouted over the eerie silence. "Are you here?"

A black grim like dog came out from the shadows and he transformed back into Black.

"Are you crazy or something? You attracted the dementors you idiot. I should never have told you he is playing." I hissed angrily. Harry had fallen almost fifty feet. He could have died. Easily.

"I am sorry. I wasnt thinking. I wanted to see James in flight once again. He plays exactly like him. He is a really good flier." he started singing Potter's praises and I frowned.

"Lupin could have seen you, recognized you." I said and he paled slightly.

"Remus will believe me. I am sure of it." he whispered.

"Oh yeah? Then go ask him for help. Am out of this." I huffed angrily.

"No! Dont say that I dont have any proof but my theory." he muttered the last part.

"Exactly my point. And I have been trying my best but I havent been able to lay my hands on Pettigrew. He's sick or something so Ronniekins keeps him hidden all the time in the dorms. I dont have a choice." I explained. "You may have to do a break in again. End of November if this continues." I finished

§¤§¤§¤§¤

8 Nov.

My birthday. I got up early. Dad says you should get up early on your b'day. I got up and got dressed. Its been a week now and I havent talked to Dad. He must be going bonkers but I cant help it. I even stopped classroom conversations and arguments to avoid detentions. I was always on time, never talked to anyone. Never looked up from my potion. Or handed homework late. Made sure I made zero mistakes. Even in other classes.

So when I recieved a gift from Dad guilt stabbed at my heart. And when I opened it and found an amazing album of photos I never knew were clicked it doubled the guilt. I felt like curling up and crying for my Dad but I couldnt. I wasnt weak. Crying is not my thing.

I got up from my bed and without opening any of the other presents I decided I want to find Dad. I want to talk to him right now. This is the longest I have gone without talking to him. I hadnt even heard his voice or his snide comments. I used to run away every time he approached. I reached his office door even as I was deep in thought.

"Oi Shine!" I heard Flint call out. I turned to face him.

"Going to meet your father?" he asked as he walked to me.

"Yeah. Needed to ask him something." I said.

"While you are at it try if you can get him to postpone the quidditch match this Saturday against Ravenclaw. I dont think the rain is going to stop and the match will be difficult." he explained. I nodded.

"I will try." I said unsure of it.

"Thanks." he hugged me and left to go to the great hall maybe. I turned to face the teak doors. I knocked three times.

"Enter." Dad drawled in his cold silky voice. I turned the knob and opened the door. I took a deep breath before entering and closing the door lightly behind me. My palms were sweaty and my mouth was dry. I licked the inside edge of my teeth opening my lips slightly as I gauged his mood.

He sat in his chair reading the Daily Prophet. He looked up from it even as I stepped forward and his onyx eyes met mine. And I say onyx not black because they were hard. Somehow solid. Like dimonds. I backtracked for a moment.

"To what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?" he asked me in a tone colder than usual. A tone that clearly implied it wasnt a pleasure.

"I am sorry." I said in a crystal clear voice. But my tone betrayed every emotion I felt right now.

"Why are you sorry? I believe you are in no detention. Unless you have done something now for which I should give you detention. I dont know why you are sorry." he said and the temperatures dropped a few more degrees as he turned his attention back to the Daily Prophet.

"Dad I-" I started but he sneered at it. I looked at him as,he turned to look at me and gave me a menacing glare.

"You seem to have remembered that I share a relation to you which is more than your teacher. Interesting." he sneered. I sighed. This conversation is not going anywhere.

"Please Dad. I am sorry." I repeated.

"What for?" he questioned as he averted his sight to the stupid newspaper. Right now I feel so angry at that newspaper I felt like tearing it to small pieces and burning them and then storing the ashes in strongest of acids.

"You know what for." I growled but he ignored my rising temper.

"No I dont know." he retorted calmly. I took a deep breath before responding.

"I shouldnt have avoided you in the past one week and am sorry for that." I said but he only grunted in response.

I walked to the door and opened it. But then I sighed closed it and walked up to him. I snatched the paper out of his hands crumpled it up and jumped on it. Then I threw it into the fireplace and burnt it removing my wand and muttering "Incendio." I looked at him with a satisfied grin and I saw the horror on his face but he hadnt moved an inch.

I walked to the front of his desk. Placed my arms on both sides of it and leaned in.

"Now we can talk." I smirked. He smirked too.

"Happy b'day?" he said a bit uncertainly. I smiled.

"Thanks Dad. You accept my apologies then?" I asked.

"I guess I do. I dont wanna end up like that paper." he smirked pinching the bridge of his nose to hide laughter.

"Can I know atleast now what was wrong with you?" he asked. I shook my head.

"No. You will know when the time is right or not know at all. But if you know you will hate me." I said simply.

He sighed. "And why is that? Are you doing something you shouldnt?" he asked raising an eyebrow. I gave a curt nod before I could stop myself. His eyebrows travelled up in surprise.

"What have you been doing, Shine?" he asked his cold voice extra firm and stern.

"I cant tell you right now Dad." I said getting up and going to the door but he beat me to it.

"No. I demand that you tell me right now." he hissed with his hand on the door knob.

"Make me." I smirked even as his eyes flashed dangerously with pure rage.

But he did not yell. Did not scream. Just opened the door pointed with his finger the way out and whispered in a low hiss. "Come back when you are ready to tell me."

"But-" I started but he put up his palm to shut me up.

I walked out the door even as it slammed behind me. I put my hands in my pockets and took a deep breath as I counted back from 50. I let out my breath in a big puff as I walked up to the quidditch pitch for practice for the match tomorrow.

A/N: So you like the twist? Or you dont like it? Because if you dont tell me why and I would be grateful. Oh and as for Snivellus I guess I will let the silent treatment continue.
