Chapter 25

By Saturday afternoon, the students had boarded the Hogwarts express and were on their way to Kings Cross. Only a few stayed behind for Christmas and Paula was eager to give Severus his first lesson.
�You need to lose the cape for a start. It�ll be uncomfortable to drive in. Paula drove them through the gates and told him to get out.
He did and she climbed across to the passenger side while he walked round to get in at the drivers side.
�That was most unfair.� He muttered, brushing the snow from his shoulders and hair, then rubbing his hands together to warm them.
�I know.� She showed him the controls, told him what each pedal, lever, button and knob was for, then told him to re-start the engine.
After twenty minutes of jack rabbitting along the road to Hogsmead, Severus managed to get the hearse into third gear and drove at a steady twenty miles an hour, his posture rigid and a fixed look of concentration on his face.
Paula rolled her eyes. �Severus you have to relax, now press a bit harder on the accelerator, push the clutch in and put her into fourth.�
�And that will achieve what exactly?� He asked, his wide eyes still fixed to the road in front of him, knuckles white from his grip on the steering wheel.
�It will achieve the illusion of forward motion. Just do it.�
�We are already moving forward, what is wrong with what I am doing?�
�Severus if we go any slower we will be going backwards.�
�Nonsense. This is a nice, safe, steady speed.�
�No, this is not a speed, a stroll round the lake is faster than this.� Paula lifted her right leg and depressed the clutch, pressed down hard on his right knee and slipped it into fourth.
�ARGH You imbecile.� He screeched, his voice so high it made her wince. �What the bloody hell do you think you are �OH SHIIIIIT!�
Keeping a hand pressed on his knee and watching the speedo rise to a steady eighty, Paula flicked the switch that would get them airborne.
�PAULA. Paula STOP THIS. Get us down, I do not know what to do.� He cried, really afraid as they rose higher and higher. His eyes were wide as saucers as they scanned the clouds that were rapidly approaching them. �In the name of Merlin Paula please. We could crash at any minute.�

�And just what exactly are we going to crash into? A cloud? There is nothing there. Just ease off a bit, but do not go below sixty. See, we�ve levelled off now. Relax Severus, you have Chukni wast. The whip-hand, the mastery.�

�The only thing getting whipped is you when we get down from here.� He growled. �Providing we are still alive when we do land. Even then I will kill you for making me do this.�
�Yes Severus.�
�That was the most idiotic thing anyone has ever done to me. Do you know that?�
�Yes Severus.�
�If I had my wand in my hand right now I would avada you.�

�Yes Severus.�
�And stop bloody saying �Yes Severus�.�

�Yes Severus.�
�He turned his head towards her and glared at her murderously. When he realised she was grinning at him he growled deep in his throat.
Paula smiled more widely and his lips twitched against his will.
�I hate you.� He said, eyes back on the sky in front of him, unable to stop the faint smirk that played on his lips.�

�Yes Severus.�
�Dammit woman stop saying that.� He said a bit louder, turning the wheel as he turned to look at her again with a grin. �Oh shit now what?�
�We�re turning that�s all. It�s about time we were heading back anyway so you may as well keep turning.�
�Me take us back. Paula I can�t land the bloody thing. Why can�t you take over now?�
�Are you going to get out while I climb over?� She raised her eyebrows when she heard him mumbling to himself. It sounded very much like, �Stupid fucking witches and their stupid fucking ideas. Flying fucking cars everywhere.� But she was not sure.
�Severus.� She said after a good fifteen minutes of silence. �Severus Hogsmead is down there. You have to bring us down now.�
�Oh marvellous, and just how do you propose I do that?�
Ease of on the accelerator a bit, only a bit and ease the green knob in. SLOWLY. I said ease it in.�
�I am easing it in slowly. You did not specify how slowly.� He griped, jerking the vehicle up and down a few times and bouncing them about until he got the hang of the green knob. �Now what? The ground is nearly upon us.�
�Pick your speed up again and keep the wheels straight, the faster you land the less bumpy it will be.�
He gave her a brief glare from the corner of his eye as the road came up to meet them. �I am still going to kill you, even after we are dashed to little pieces I am going to kill you.� He closed his eyes tightly as the hearse wheels touched the road. When he opened them a moment later he let out a long breath and smiled widely, easing off on the accelerator and slowing down.
�Did you see that? It was a perfect landing. I did not feel a single bump.� He boasted, all at once relieved and proud that he had brought them down safely.

�Open the gates woman so I can park up and get out of this death trap. Then prepare to die.� He told her in a dead pan voice.
�The gates are attuned to the car, there�s no need.�
Severus slipped it into neutral and took his foot off the accelerator, letting the hearse freewheel slowly toward the area of forest where Paula�s wagon was in view.

It came to a stop several yards past where they wanted to be, but Severus did not care. He wanted out and did not care of they were parked in the quiddich pitch, so long as they were stopped.

�I am never, ever, �don�t you dare ask me to do �never again.� He yelled, climbing out and slamming the door behind him.
�Yes Severus.� She said once more, giggling and running for the safety of the wagon when he turned and made a lunge for her.
�Stay put while I do something painful to you.� He called, racing after her.
Paula was much faster than him, much faster than anybody, and she was inside the wagon for several minutes before he arrived panting and trying to catch his breath.
He focused on her all the way to the wagon and yanked open the door. �Where are you? Stop hiding and face me so I can do something unspeakably painful to you.� He growled loudly, bending and wondering if she was in one of the larger cupboards.

Paula had altered the charms to recognise him so he would not be harmed whenever he wanted to be in the wagon without her present.�
He searched the wagon thoroughly but could not find her. �Where are you hiding you infernal witch?�
What Severus did not know however, was that there was a hidden trapdoor in the floor of the wagon. As Severus had approached the wagon, a still giggling Paula had grabbed a towel and slipped down through it, then crawled out from underneath the wagon. She stood leaning against the side, casually waiting for him to admit defeat and re-emerge.
Severus gave up. He�d even pulled the bedding from the bed in his search for her and she was clearly not here.
