The Way Back Home
Chapter 3: Afternoon Arrival

Hogwart�s School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

It was a gorgeous Saturday afternoon in September. Classes had started for the seventh- years, the school getting back into the normal swing of things. The sun was shining brightly in the clear sky, warming the school grounds to perfection. The day was unhurried as there was an unusually light load of homework was passed out by the teachers, as if they too were still in vacation-mode. Lunch had just been served and now many of the students began to trickle out of the Great Hall to the lush grass around the lake to relax. They sat around talking and laughing amongst themselves, enjoying the fine weather. It was just another typical Saturday.

It was so typical, that Professor Severus Snape was taking his usual solitary stroll around the lake. He sauntered menacingly, a dark look etched onto his face. He smirked as the students scattered out of his way, trying to avoid the mean Potions Master. The less they got in his way, the better.

Making his way to his customary perch beside the lake, he sat down. He looked on as the squid catapulted itself gracefully around the lake causing small ripples to lap at the shore. A soft gust of wind brushed across the lake and caressed its way through his hair. Irritated, Snape lifted his hands to brush it back. It�s getting too long, he thought as he flipped the now bicep-length locks back. I�m going to have to have it cut. He knew he should have cut his hair, but things had been so busy that a hair cut ranked low on his �To Do� list. The way things in his life were going having longer hair was the least of his worries.

Zeporiap felt like she was falling. She knew that at some point she would strike the ground that should be rising up underneath her, but she just couldn�t bring herself to care. After she faded away from that man�s evil grasp, she could only think about how tired she was. She wanted to sleep, but her body wouot lot let her. Or rather, the power coursing through her veins would not let her.

Opening her eyes, she saw the sky speeding around her. �Where is this place?� When she tried to reach out and touch one of the clouds that rushed past a silver barrier stopped her. She expected to feel some kind of shock and was surprised when she only felt welcoming warmth under her hand. Resting her hand back on her side, she realized that she was still wearing the robe of the blond-haired man who raped her.

�It wasn�t a dream.� Zeporiap felt a rush of anger scorch through her veins. �It wasn�t a dream� she said again. Turning her head to the side, she saw her reflection. Her lip was swollen aut, ut, an ugly bruise marring her cheek from where he struck her. The anger she felt became more pronounced. Now, she cared. She was going to get the bastard if she had to run to the ends of the earth to catch him. Her eyes rose from her damaged cheek, moving up to the reflection of her eyes. Zeporiap�s eyes glinted in a luminous silver color, the irises glowing startlingly out of her face. But, she didn�t realize it, being so focused on seeking her revenge. She would think about her eyes later. What was most important now was getting to the place where that man could be.

Unbeknownst to Zeporiap, the barrier that she brushed her hand against was actually protective shield, more like a vessel, taking her to safety. As it raced through the sky, it caused a patch of clouds to move around it, protecting it from suspicious eyes looking towards the sky down below.

Another gust of wind flowed across the lake. It was a calming sort of breeze, soothing the hearts of the people it touched, relaxing them into a state of bliss.

�It�s a very nice day.� Harry said, leaning back against the soft grass. He rested his head on Ginny�s lap; they had been going out since the last term ended. �It�s not too hot and not even close to being cold.�

�Yeah, it�s great.� Ron said smiling at his friend. �It�s a great day for sitting around and��

�Studying.� Hermione said, turning another page in her book.

�Geez, Mione! It�s only the beginning of the term!� Ron whined. �It�s not even close to any test day, and NEWTS are months away!� Ron turned to the lounging Harry. He shoved him when he saw that he was dropping off to sleep. �Hey, you git! We�ve got to convince her that she doesn�t have to study today!� Harry only smiled, relaxing into the feel of Ginny�s fingers caressing his hair. Ginny laughed at her brother�s antics to get his girlfriend to loosen up.

�Come on Ron, you should have known that she would bring her books out. It�s a perfect day to study.� She exclaimed, laughing again. She leaned down and kissed Harry on his scar. �In fact, I was going to study myself.� She patted the small bag she had brought along with her when she came outside. �You know, it does help to be prepared because you never know when a quiz might be dropped on us.�

Ron looked flabbergasted, opening and closing his mouth in a fish-like manner. �Ginny? You�re scaring me!� This time Hermione did look up from her book. She winked at Ginny then, laughed at Ron�s expression. She leaned over and kissed him softly on the cheek.

�I�ve been helping her with her study habits over the summer, Ron. She asked me to help her out. Even though her NEWTS are over a year away, she�s still got finals at the end of this year.� She patted Ron on the cheek she just kissed. �You would have better grades if you would just study more.� Ron could only shake his head. He loved Hermoine, loved her before they got together at the end of their sixth year, but studying was just something that wasn�t his forte. He grumbled about her obsessive study habits, but loved it all the same. It was, after all, what made Hermiher her and deep down, he didn�t want her to change. Just as he was about to tease her about her endearing qualities, a shadow fell over him.

�Well, well, if it isn�t the lovely Golden Trio.� Draco Malfoy sauntered up with his two goons, Crabbe and Goyle. �Ah, I see the Weaselette is also in attendance. Hmm, finally get Potty to notice you?� Malfoy and his two stupid cronies laughed as Ginny blushed.

�Shut up, Ferret boy.� Harry said, not opening his eyes. �Just go away, you prat. It�s too nice a day to be ruined by you.�

�Sod off, you stupid git!� Ron said as he jumped to his feet. Hermione looked up again from her book and shook her head.

Draco rolled his eyes. �Tired Scarhead? Don�t think you can beat me in a duel?� Draco�s mouth twisted into an ugly snarl as he looked down at his adversary. He became red in the face when Harry ignored him, turning his head to the side.

Draco whipped out his wand and pointed it at Harry. �Are you just going to lay there like some stupid prat?� He was yelling now, not paying attention to the students around him turning to look at the scene he was making. �Or maybe you�re more worried about that little whore of a girlfriend that you�re��

Harry was up on his feet in a flash, pointing his wand at Draco�s chest. Hermione and Ginny were also on their feet, aiming their wands at Crabbe and Goyle. �I told you go away.� Harry�s emerald green eyes flashed angrily. �If you want to ruin a perfectly nice day by getting hexed on to your arse, be my guest.�

�Why you��

�What is going on here?� Snape had been sitting on his perch when he heard the shouting. Irritated at having to break up another fight, he strolled over to the group, making his way through the crowd. �Potter! Weasleys and Granger, stand down now!� He roared so loud that even the lookie-loo students froze in their tracks. �No, I don�t care who started this little scene Potter, twenty-five points from you and your little lion pals!�

�But, Professor�� Hermoine tried to defend their actions, but Snape cut her off.

�Stop right there Miss Granger or it will be fifty points each!� Snape had had enough of their little shenanigans. �You should be VERY glad that you weren�t given detention for your silly actions!� Snape�s scowl became frightening, curling into a nasty smile �Oh, but it would be just the thing to teach you a lesson. Alright then: detention for all of you starting on Monday!�

Malfoy laughed and made faces around Snape�s back. Ron tried to grab him, but Hermione held tightly onto his arm. �Don�t Ron! You�ll only make it worse!�

�You should listen to your little Know-it-all, Weaseley. You might be able to learn something before your NEWTS.� Snape turned, smirking and began to make his way back towards his dungeons.

Zeporiap felt herself getting ti Wh While she was still angry, her body was beginning to slow down. She was going into shock. I can�t stop now, she thought, I can feel that I am getting e.
