Pyro crept down the dark corrider. He smiled down at a book tucked safely in the crook of his arm. Phaze 1 was complete. Sneak into the library and get this book potion ingrediants. That had been patheticaly easy. But phaze 2, now there was the toughy. Hed have to sneak into snapes Classroom, open up the ingrediant cupboard that snape had, and than make his potions, and quickly get back out. Pyro had all the equipment he needed. In his bag he carried two couldrons(one stolen from a dorm mate), 10 new little vials he had bought in Hogsmeade. These vials were cool, he could hold on between his thumb and index finger, and it had about the same diameter as a nickle.((yes pyro dosnt know what a nickle is, just put it there to tell you its size)). The vials had a very thin wall of glass running down the middle of it, seperating each vial into two seperate ones. Than he also had a belt, also bought at hogsmeade, that had little slots for the 10 vials. And to finalize it, he had two small dropers.
Pyro found Snapes Classroom locked. But after a bit of wand work, that obstical was soon passed. He entered the classroom and walked inbetween some desks and set his stuff down onto the ground. He decided to work here, below the desks, that way if someone came walking in, there would be a visual barrier protecting him. He quickly walked back and shut the door and cast a silencing charm around it so know one could hear him outside. After all that was done, he opened the book to the bookmarked page and walked to the ingrediant cabinet.
He easily managed to get it open. He than began to sift through its contents. "lets see, Shriveled newts, no. Mushroom roots, no. Ah ha! heres one!" He removed a vial of something from the cabinet and set it on the ground, after getting everything he needed he collected all the ingrediants and headed back to his work station. He set the ingrediants and the open book to the side and set up the two couldrons, He made a small fire under each one just as the book instructed him. Than he began to add the ingrediants according to how the book told him. After about half an hour of this, one couldron had a black liquid in it, and the other had a light blueish liqiud in it. Just like the book said.
He leaned back and sighed. He pulled out his droppers and stuck one of them into the black liquid and squeezed the rubber ball on the end, when he realized the black liquid was sucked up into the dropper. He took out a vial and placed the contents of the dropper on one half of the vial. He did this with all the vials so now he had 10 half full vials of black liquid. He than took out the other dropper and did the same with the blue liquid and filled the other half of the vials.
Finally, all 10 vials were filled with black and blue liquid seperated by a small glass wall. He began to place the vials into their loops on the belt. So far so good, no one had discovered him yet. He had been worried, silence charms never were his specialty and he didnt know if his had worked properly.

Cass passed the dungeon classroom She tottled under the weight of the many books Prof. McGonogall had given to read. Lucky for her, she was able to be out this late. Their sessions tended to last way into the night, and as long as she headed straight back to the dorm, she was fine.
In her own, tired little world, she tripped over what looked like a vial in the flood. She and her books landed with a thud on the floor. " Damn!" She looked at the heal of her hand and noticed it was bleeding.
Holding her wrist, she found herself outside of Snape's classroom. Knowing that he normally kept some first aid supplies in there for class, she opened the door, hoping to find something to staunch the bleeding.

Pyro had just finished placing the vials into the loops and buckling the belt to his waist when he heard something outside the door. He quickly ducked down and looked out between the tables at the door. Suddenly it opend and he ducked back behind the desk cursing silently. He grabed his bag, but he couldnt get the couldrons, hed have to leave them behind.
he crawled to the end of the desks. listening to the footsteps, he slid around the desk, making sure the desk would block him from view no matter where the person in the room was at.

Severus entered his office as he meticulously concocted a Wolfsbane potion for Remus Lupin, who still depended on him to retain his memory during Werewolf transformations. It was tedious work, which only made Severus's mood seem more choleric than usual. He paced up and down the room, looking from vial to vial. Abruptly, a magical alarm went off as his trap was broken..... He had placed a spell near the entrance of the classroom and his office so that anyone passing through this late at night would be caught. He whipped around, opened his door with a bang and headed straight up towards the Potions classroom. Professor Snape quickly strode towards the opened doorway and muttered under his breath, a spell that would prevent anyone but himself from exit the room. He was intent on finding out who the culprit was. Every step he took echoed and he immediately spotted Cassandra Logton a Gryffindor 3rd year who often misbehaved in his class. "Miss Logton....." he said in an evily calm tone. "Fifty points will be docked from Gryffindor.... As for... the other person in this room.... You have three seconds to show yourself..... You can't get out through the windows, doors, ventilation shafts, or any other entrance to this classroom....."

Pyro was breathing a bit easier. Beside the fact that the couldron was sitting there. he thought he might be able to sneak out of the room. Suddenly heavier footsteps entered the room and a famaliar voice spoke. the voice chilled his blood. It was the one voice he was hoping to not hear tonight. It was snapes voice. He heard snape say something to cassandra. What was she doing here?
Pyro sat there for a moment. Hoping snape would just leave and only bust Cass. But, he knew someone else was in the classrom. Pyro groaned. After a moments pause he slowly stood up and came into view. "Evening Professor...." he muttered.

"Ah.... Pyro... Working hard on your potions, I presume? Now, show me your pockets!!" Snape said in a deadly voice as his eyes flashed. "I will not be taking any points from Slytherin. However.... Both of you will have to clean the Hospital Wing without magic for three weeks!! I will also be writing a letter back to your parents or gaurdians regarding this 'little' incident..... I would highly recommend heading back to your dormitories and giving back ALL the potions ingredients you took...." He stared Pyro in the eye, waiting for the boy to give up the ingredients he had stolen.

Pyro took his bag and set it onto the table in front of him and pulled out all the ingrediants he took. "I..I was going to put them back Professor. But Cassandra walked in and surprised me so i didnt have time to put thme back."
He picked up all the vials of ingrediants and carried them back to the cabinet. Suddenly realizing the pointlessness of snape writing to his parents. He opened his mouth to inform snape of his current situation, but than shut it. Deciding not to get a professor into this. He retrieved his two couldrons. "Ill be returning to my dorm now professor."

Dana had been reading a book late at evening once again so she had traveled to the kitchens once again. Having noticed Cass walking by, Dana moved to catch up with her for a momentary chat but didn’t reach her before they reached Snape’s classroom.
“Are you crazy girl?” Dana whispered hoarsely at seeing Cass entering the room and hesitated for a bit, until she heard Snape’s voice in the classroom, making Dana wince.
Sneaking a bit closer to the classroom door Dana grimaced once again at hearing Pyro’s voice. Snape could be pretty harsh, so Dana groaned banged her head against the wall once, before pulling a polite smile onto her face and entered the classroom after a polite knock.
“Excuse for interrupting, professor. Oh, hello Cass, Pyro,” Dana pointed to the two third years shieldedly and pulled his finger across her throat, signaling that they both would be dead by her arm after they get out of the room, “I hope I didn’t disturb you. I just have this huge migraine and I couldn’t find madam Pomfrey, so I was wondering if perhaps you could spare some antidote for a head-ache or a bit of dreamless sleep potion?”<br>Dana smiled shyly, that was completely out of character for her, and wondered idly if she would be dead, sleeping for the next week or grounded for the whole summer as well. Especially after that stunt in the game of truth or dare, when she had had to declare her ‘undying love’ to the Potions master.
Deciding with a small smirk Dana decided that at least It would be an interesting experience so she just waited to see Snape’s reaction.

"Good, good...." Snape said as he looked at Pyro. "However, you still have not done what I have toold you. Now, turn up your pockets, Blackfire!" Severus waited patiently for Pyro to turn up his pockets. Snape's elongated, hooked nose seemed to be sniffing the air and what he could smell was the smell of a fire that had just been put out. "You must remember.... Pyro... They call me the potions master for a reason. Now tell me what you have been brewing and show me what you have been doing! You cannot fool me. As long as this potion you are attempting is part of my class curriculum, you may go. However, if you are using it for something not approved by the teachers.... You will be spending many miserable hours helping me copy letters..."
Just then, he heard another person approach. It was Dana Coran, a Ravenclaw 5th year. Obviously she could not tell that he was in a bad mood. "I made that potion for Madam Pomfey just last week. I can give it to you later.... Now, why are you here? I'm afraid that you will also receive detention for being up this late at night. I suggest that you head back up to your dormitory..."

Pyro sighed. He lifted up his robes and unbuckled the belt with the vials. He placed the belt onto the table and took out one of the vials and held it up for snape. "well, I wouldnt say its part of the class cirriculum professor. But, I dont see why most teachers would disaprove of it. Basicly, the two liquids you see here, when the two mix together, they form an extremely heavy fog, a smokescreen, if you will. I found the recipie in this book I found in the library.."

Dana tried to look helpless, wondering how wonderously she failed it.
“I was working on my potions homework – revising for the O.W.L.s and when I finished about half an hour ago I just couldn’t get to sleep, so I just had to visit madam Pomfrey but she wasn’t in the hospital wing,” Dana made doe eyes towards professor, “You really were my last hope to get any sleep tonight, professor. But could I at least have Cass and Pyro accompanying me for at least some of the way? I would feel more secure that way?” Dana almost grimaced at her words – there was no way, Dana would ever so such weakness, but whatever worked with getting Cass and Pyro out. Friends came first for Dana.
Deciding never to try the ‘helpless maiden’ thing again as it was so not her, Dana just smiled faintly.
((I am a fifth year, professor))

"Wait.... You two girls will stay here, as I need to find out why all three of you just happened to meet here... It cannot be as simple matter of just 'doing' some homework. Pyro.... I am well aware to what type of potion you were making... I was only concerned with why you were making this concoction. As you well know... The safety of every student at Hogwarts is vital and this smog is a potentially dangerous to students with asthma. You will also find that many students have that disorder. So, you can hand that potion to me for proper storage and you can tell me why you needed it... Was it on a simple whim? Or were you planning something else?" Snape said in a sinister whisper.

Pyro groaned. He actually had created it just on a whim, just in case he ever needed a smokescreen to get out of somewhere. He looked at the vial in his hand. maybe He could make something up that snape might actually aprove of. he looked at Snape. "Well one idea I had.....was..Playing pranks on Potter." He said. he looked at Dana and Cass. "Professor, I seriously have no clue as to why they came. I wasnt planning on them being here."

“You are so dead, when I get my hands on you,” Dana whispered to Pyro as she passed him to stand next to Cass, “Do you mind if I sit, professor?”<br>Dana leaned a bit on a bench never loosing the smile from her face – she actually rather liked the potions professor and his biting remarks. And Dana had to admit that he was a good teacher, even though she wouldn’t say it out right now. That would just sound like sucking up.
“I didn’t come here to meet anyone, professor. I just feeling so bad and I would really need the sleep as otherwise I wouldn’t be able to work very well tomorrow,” Dana smiled faintly and sent a warning glare towards Cass from under her hand – it would ruin absolutely everything if the younger girl would burst out laughing, “And I do have potions then and it would be terrible if I wasn’t able to work at my best. Oh did I bother you at something, professor? I really should have thought? How could I forget etiquette? I’m so sorry about it.”<br>Dana sighed dramatically as if worried about that

"Well.... In that case....." Snape turned back towards Dana and Cassandra. "Both you girls will help me clean up the potions class room every day at around 7:00 at night for the next two weeks. Dana, Pomfey is currently in her office... If you ask her she will be able to provide you with a substitute potion while I retreive a fresh batch..." He paused for a moment to contemplate Pyro's fate. Perhaps playing a prank on Potter was worth it. However, Snape was still in a very bad mood. "I shall make an exception for you, Pyro.... You can help Pomfey with her potions for two weeks and that will be all... And.... feel free to ask for any ingredients... AS LONG AS THEY ARE USED FOR A PURPOSE I FIND WORTHY OF RECOGNITION," Snape said with a very hard tone. "Remember... If I catch you doing something without my permission again... You WILL be sorry...." Snape's cloak billowed out behind him as he headed back towards his office to retrieve the head-ache potion and to send it to Pomfey.

Pyro breathed a big sigh of relief. he quickly replaced the vial and grabed the belt off the table and looked at Snape. "Th..Thank you professor. It wont happen again." He watched Snape leave the room, he turned to Dana and Cass. "what are you two doing here?"

“Yes professor, I’m sure it will be very educating," Dana said sweetly as Snape stated their detentions and stalked out of the room, as Dana let out a breath of relief and turned her twinkling eyes towards Pyro, “And I personally came in to save your miserable behinds. Although I never thought the ‘helpless maiden’ would work. Guess I’m a better actor that I gave myself credit for, look pathetic right now or is Snape sleepy.”<br>Dana rolled her eyes towards the two of them: “Ok, you Pyro get off easily thanks to your house but I have no idea what ever Cass was thinking while coming in here. Gryffidnor in Snape’s classroom AFTER curfew? You might as well sign a suicidal note.”<br>
Dana let out a small chuckle: “Wondered about my sanity as well, after that crazy dare I had about a month ago. Dunno if you saw it, but I had to declare my undying love to Snape in the corridor to the student lounge.”<br>Dana shook her head and sat comfortably on the table, swinging her legs a little: “Think we should wait for him to come back here?”<br>

Pyro looked at dana as he collected the last of his stuff. "oh yea, being in the house of one of strictest professors comes in handy a lot of the time." he looked at the door than shook his head. 'no, he didnt say to wait, and he told you to check Pomfreys office, I think he wants us out of here."

Dana nodded and hopped off of the bench she was sitting on, and pulled Cass out of the classroom with her, as Dana herself slapped the the back of Pyro’s head lightly, so it wouldn't hurt as she passed him. Adding a wink and a grin Dana stated: “Lucky you I didn’t loose points or you would have been dead. Now I better go and see madam Pomfrey though about that Dreamless Sleep potion – Snape might check it and I really could use a good night rest between all the studying for O.W.L.s. Remind me to laugh at you, when you are doing htem. No, wait, I can’t – I’m doing my N.E.W.T.s then.”<br>Dana rolled her eyes and waved at Pyro and Cass as she took down the hallway once again: “See you both around again.” Dana smiled and half-jogged down the halfway again this time heading for the Hospital Wing.

Pyro grined. as he felt her hit him. "well hey, if you loose points thats just one way for slytherin to take the lead." he watched her run off down the hall. He turned and looked at Cass silently. He hadnt gotten a chance to talk to her during all this. She had taken a big house point hit becuase of this. But he really had no clue what she was doing down here.
He offered a small smile. "Sorry I cant chat. Gotta go before Snape comes back." he turned and headed for his common room, fingering the belt of potion vials and smiling to himself at his succsess.
