Severus Snape was not a happy man. First, he had been woken up by Albus himself. The houseelves threatened mutiny if they had to wake him up again.

Then, after being woken up by Albus, he realized what time it was. Five in the bloody morning. Ode to freaking joy.

And now, he finds himself sitting in front of Mr. and Mrs. Whatsernames. Layla's parents. He forgot their name, but wouldn't admit it. His hand was just itching to grab his wand and cast Imperio and be done with it.

The two were looking at him like he knew the freaking purpose of life. He, however, wasn't going to start talking to these people, if they weren’t polite enough to start a conversation, then he certainly wasn't. He knew he was being childish.

He was saved from his childish behavior by Boy Wonder himself. He walked into the kitchen where they were sitting, wearing only a pair of very snug pajama bottoms that left nothing to the imagination. Well, it left the imagination nothing to do but send wonderfully delicious images of a naked Harry to Severus' brain.

"Mr. Potter." his voice was a little strained. Layla's parents jumped at the sound of it.

"Wha- Jesus Christ!" Harry tripped over his feet as he stumbled backwards, startled to see his prfessor sitting in the kitchen.

"You could've warned a guy!" Harry snapped as he grasped the counter as he hauled himself up. It really was too early for surprises.

"Harry, be polite." Michelle, Layla's mom, said.

"Sorry, Michele. He just surprised me."

"That's ok, Harry." Jack, her father, smiled.

"So," Harry turned to Severus, "why are you sitting in peoples kitchens scaring your students to death, this morning?" Severus rolled his eyes.

"Because, Potter, Albus asked me to scare you to death." What, does he bath in sarcasm or something? "Albus would like you and your friend, Layla, to spend the rest of the summer at Hogwarts."

"Oh, Harry, is Albus that one wizard you told us about?"

"Yeah, Headmaster Dumbledore."

"Oh, how wonderful. We don't have a problem with Layla going to your school for the rest of the summer, Harry. The house might actually be quiet for once if she goes." Jack nodded in agreement.

"Who knew one teenage girl could make so much noise by herself?"

"I was hoping that we could leave soon, Potter, once you two pack everything you need for six weeks." yes, one could tell he was still in a bad mood.

"Is that ok with you two, if we leave in a few minutes?"

"Sure, Harry. Michelle and I need to get going to work anyway. You should take some caffeine up with you, if you're going to wake her up, though." Jack walked over to the fridge and passed off two cans of Mt.Dew to Harry.

"Is it ok if Professor Snape comes up stairs to help up pack? I'm not seventeen yet, so I can't do magic, yet." Michelle nodded and waved Harry away distracted.

"Yeah, go ahead, dear. Jack we have to get going." the two of them grabbed their suitcases and sets of car keys. Harry hugged them both on their way out. Harry and Severus stood at the door as the two of them drove away to work. Harry closed the door and locked it, looking at Severus.

"So, if you'll come up stairs and spell a bag or two feather-light and bottomless, things will go a lot faster and we'll be out of here sooner."

"After you, Potter." he sneered. He followed Harry as he made his way upstairs.

When they got to Layla's room, they were greeting with a barely clad Layla sprawled on the bed. The covers were barely covering her legs and she was wearing a pair of dark blue lacy knickers. Her chest was bare and was attracting both Harry and Severus' eyes.
