As soon as dinner was over, Snape was back in the hospital wing to tell them of the happenings, it was silent as he entered, Sirius and Remus were just gazing at Harry through dead eyes and the Malfoys were silently comforting each other. James had his head in his hands vibrating, he was crying silent tears. Severus walked over and stood at then end of his bed.

"Dumbledore is still labelling this as an accident." He told them quietly.

"The man is going to allow her to go unpunished for nearly killing Harry." Sirius stated, not taking his eyes from Harry's still form.

"Dumbledore will but the Slytherin's won't."

"There is not much they can do. I have done what I can to punish her but...." James sighed but Lucius, Narcissa and Severus smirked.

"You were not in our House, James, our mechanisms are a lot different to every other House and Flint has already thrown down the promise."

The blonde heads snapped to Snape in shock "What?"

"They entered in form, and when Dumbledore called it a terrible accident Flint stood in the center of the table and stated the attack would not go unpunished at the school level, they left in form after it had been issued."

"They came in form?" Lucius repeated 
shocked.

"Not only did they come in form but they did everything in perfect form, every single one of them, it was something to see Lucius, they even hissed as one." Snape shook his head and the Malfoys blinked a few times.

"Merlin, I almost feel sorry for Gryffindor."

"I think we are missing something." Remus said speaking for the first time, he had got the wolf under control and was relatively calm.

"In Slytherin there are rules that must be followed. You will never see a Snake on their own even if they are hated in the House, you will never see a Slytherin arguing or fighting with another Slytherin outside the common room, you will never see a Slytherin disagreeing with another Slytherin outside the common room it just isn't done. And the key one, the most crucial one we stand by is Slytherin take care of their own. To attack a Slytherin is to attack all the Slytherins and that is not something that we let go, I believe it was the Dark Lord who put these rules in place." Snape explained. James looked shocked but remand quiet.

"But what about when we were in school?" Sirius pointed out and Severus exchanged smirks with Lucius.

"We are Slytherins, we don't retaliate in the open." Lucius said.

"Remember after 5th year, you came down with a simply awful problem?" Snape asked and Sirius eyes widened then he winced, he had had a serious problem with himself but he had placed the blame on the other marauders who were pissed at him. The Marauders all looked at each other.

"That was you?" Sirius gasped alarmed and Snape smirked.

"You didn't honestly believe I would let that go? I am the youngest Potions Master in the world and by then I was well on my way to becoming a Master, it was a handy creation made just for you."

Sirius looked at him in a new light, he hastily shuffled away and Remus and James snickered.

"That was only my friends who helped with that, this is the entire house and as an open promise has been issued, Evangeline Potter is in for some hell. Even Dumbledore is on their list."

Sirius and Remus smirked.

"And they will have inside help." He murmured looking at Remus and James who grinned.

"What do you mean?" Narcissa asked.

"Harry, your son and Theodore are very close friends with persons who could make Evangeline's life in the tower not worth living, and knowing them they will be all for helping."

Narcissa looked confused as did Lucius, Snape frowned before his eyes widened slightly. "Oh Merlin, they're friends with them!"

There was nothing reassuring in the Marauders grins and Snape shuddered.

Things kicked off at breakfast the next morning. Again the Slytherins entered as one and sat down to eat, their backs almost painfully straight and every Pureblood mannerism that had been bred and read in to them was being presented for all to see. They didn't speak once, communicating with small gestures and tilts of their heads. Snape honestly had never been prouder of his House, they looked absolutely impeccable, even the first years were perfect.

The mail soared in and even then the Slytherins didn't once break their reserve, merely setting aside their plates in time for their packages and letters to be presented to up them.

However, it wasn't them that captured the Hall's interest that time, here was a letter for Evangeline and she opened it with a grin, which quickly turned in to a look of horror. She lost all colour in her face, with a terrified shriek she threw down the letter and ran from the room, people started whispering and McGonagal rushed after her, she picked up the letter and frowned; it was blank.

She went out after her but before she had even left Evangeline screamed loudly and ran back in, she was crying, muttering about the snakes getting her and the Slytherins held back smirks.

Flint had found a spell that made the person see their worst fear everywhere they went, the longer it was on the stronger it got and by the end of the day Potter should be seeing everyone as walking snakes.

Evangeline was twitchy all day, it was obvious the spell was getting worse much to the Slytherins' delight, and little spells were directed at her, her bag split numerous of times, things exploded and in potions her cauldron melted covering her in vile smelling potion that created nasty sores all over her; she ran out crying.

"This is all because of you and that idiot Potter." Weasley snapped following his friend out.

"I think you're all awful, it was clearly an accident." Hermione huffed going with them. The first year Snakes exchanged looks and nodded, Weasley and Granger would be joining Evangeline.

Draco went to go see Harry before dinner bringing Spero with him, the snake had been hissing furiously so Theo mentioned they should bring her and so Draco had place her on Harry's chest where she curled up. He was still out cold but he had a slightly healthier colour, Sirius and James had yet to move and their lessons were being covered by Narcissa and Remus, who had stepped up when Dumbledore said they would have to leave to teach.

"Anything?" Draco asked but James shook his head.

"He will get better."

"He has to." Sirius agreed. The glowing ball showing Harry's life was still bright, which was promising, and he had gotten through the night, there was nothing they could do but wait.

"Draco, Theodore, thank you even with our family feuds you became apart of Harry's family." James whispered feeling the older Malfoy's look of shock. "I don't suppose we could come to some truce. With the upcoming war if there is one I know where Harry stands. I will not lose him again."

Lucious looked at James and took out his hand "you are Narccisa's family and so is Sirius. I would extend to you and Harry a warm welcome."

They shook hands send a burst of magic around the room. Settling back down to the quietness of before.

That wait was that time Draco intended to make Evangeline wish she had never came to the school.

"What happened to to my daughter, I heard her scream from here."

Draco smirked.

"Just the beginning of a Slytherin retaliation."

For the rest of the week the school turned in to a war zone. The Slytherins were using everything to their advantage in making Evangeline suffer, she had ended up in the hospital wing everyday at least twice along with Weasley and Granger. Whether it was embarrassment, pain or annoyance, there was nothing linking any of it back to the Slytherins even though it could not have been more obvious it was them.

James just looked at her with with no sympathy. It was truly sad to see but there was nothing James could do she made her choice. He and Sirius has yet to leave his side Harry was never alone either. Lucius would stop by to check up on Harry, his son and wife but didn't stay long. Severus also came by when ever he could, since Harry was becoming something towards being his additional Godson.

The longer Harry remained unconscious, the worse everything got, some of the Lions had starting hexing Slytherins in retaliation, which meant the Snakes turned their arsenal on those who provoked them; it was pandemonium.

The Professors didn't know what to do because the culprits couldn't be found and were never pointed out, the fights were becoming more and more violent and the neutral Houses were caught in the middle of it.

The Gryffindors weren't careful to where they aimed or set their traps meaning innocent people got hit, that caused a rift between the innocent party and the Lions. The Ravenclaws who had been caught were brilliant allies for the Snakes, they knew so much and the Slytherins were able and willing to do it.

Then there were Fred and George who always had outdone themselves...
