Brandy
Chapter Five
Willow slowly awoke and wondered why her head felt like it had two herds of raging bulls trampling on it. She also took the time to wonder just why it was she had no clothes on, and from the looks of it she wasn't even in her bedroom, or as they liked to call them around here, sleeping chambers. She glanced around and saw that she was in the infirmary.
"You're up."
Willow whipped her head around and saw Dumbeldore standing in the doorway. She smiled at him and then she remembered the lack of clothing problem she was currently having.
Dumbeldore could not help but laugh at the antics. She was definately Severus' daughter. And Albus knew that if Voldemort found out about
her, then he would try to use her against her father. Seeing as how
Voldemort had been told from Lucius Malfoy that Snape was giving all of the information he
had to Dumbledore. The girl was in danger, and it was her father's fault.
"Ah hello Miss..."
"Willow. You can call me Willow."
Albus walked into the room and sat down in the chair beside the bed. He took in the embarrassed look on the redhead's face and smiled with a twinkle in his eye. He had always thought of Severus as a surrogate son, and that would make this girl his surrogate grand daughter.
"So I hear you and Miss....Faith had a bit of an adventure last night with Mr. Percy Weasley and Mr. Justin Malfoy. And Mr. Draco Malfoy and Miss. Hermonie Granger were there as well."
"Yeah. I guess you could say that, but we didn't mean to cause trouble. Faith and I were trying to stop them from fighting. And I stepped in
front of the Percy guy...and I have to tell you, I have the WORST luck when
it comes to guys named Percy. And anyway I stepped in front of him and I didn't see him when he swung and Faith was just retaliating. And I'm sorry if
we disturbed the school. But how did I get stuck to that Justin guy, or unstuck for that matter?"
"Well it seemed the way you and Mr.Malfoy were stuck together was due to the fact that he had a vial of something you call, 'Krazy glue.' he was
showing it to his cousin Draco when Mr. Weasley showed up and started the fight.
Miss. Granger had followed Mr. Weasley for her friend and his younger brother, Mr. Ron Weasely. And how you got unstuck is the reason for
your rather embarrassing situation. Now if you will excuse me, I have to go. Breakfast is being served and I hope to see you there. Poppy said you
were
free to leave when you woke up."
Willow watched as the man turned and walked out. She slowly got up with the bedsheet wrapped firmly around her and saw that there was a stack of
clothes on a table across the room. She made her way over to the clothes and went to
the changing area and got dressed. The clothes were too big so she made her
way down to her and Faith's sleep chambers and seeing as how she had no clothes there, she went trough Faith's. She chose a pair of blue jeanes
little rhinestones on the bottom and a long sleeved red, not to mention slinky, elastic shirt.
Willow slowly made her way to the Great Hall. And the second she was near the door she heard the sounds of a fight. *Geez don't they ever stop
fighting?* Willow slowly walked in and almost cringed. Faith and the
guy Percy were yelling at each other at the top of thier lungs.
"Look, just sit down and shut up, ok lady! Before I make you!" Percy had screamed at her.
"Bring it on carrot top!" Faith retorted. She was practically in in boy's face.
"HEY!" Ten voices cried in protest at Faith's statement.
Faith wirled around at the sound of Willow's voice.
"RED!!!" Faith yelled enveloping Willow in a hug.
Willow couldn't breath. "Faith, slayer strength." she whispered into Faith's ear.
"Sorry Wills, but god, are you ok? No thanks to Mike Tyson over here."
"Don't start little girl." Percy stated.
"Little girl? I'll show you little..."
"He's right Faith, don't start, I am NOT about to get in the middle of another fight."
"See, you should listen to her." Percy supplied as he went to sit down.
"You know, I have a real serious problem with guys named Percy and seeing how that IS your name, I have problem with you." Faith replied facing the man again.
Willow shook her head and made her way up the steps to see her father and Giles at the staff table.
"Will?"
"Yeah, Faith?" Willow asked turning to look at her.
"Is that my clothes?" Faith asked taking in the outfit that her friend had on. It WAS her outfit.
"Well, yeah it is. I don't have any clothes here and well I couldn't wear the ones I had on yesterday."
"I don't mind, but can I ask a question?"
"What?"
"Did you wear outfits like that around dog-boy?"
"Why are you asking that? You were there, you KNOW I didn't wear this type of stuff. I wouldn't be wearing it now except...." Willow turned to go toward her father.
"Hey, I'm just saying that if you had, then maybe he wouldn't of broken up with you." Faith said shrugging.
Willow froze and turned to face her friend. She didn't know what was worse, the outfit or the fact that Faith had just told the whole school that she had been dumped by her boyfriend.
Faith saw the look in Willows eyes and she knew she had scwreed up. "That didn't come out the way I meant it. I just meant that you....it was a
complament I swear red!" Faith said in a panic raising her hands in
surrender.
Willow just looked at Faith and shook her head. She made her way down to Faith. She stood looking at her and smiled.
"Willow?"
"Yes father?" Willow asked looking at her dad standing in front of the staff table. He was standing there with his arms crossed over his chest.
"Who is dog-boy and WHY did he dump you?"
Willow froze looking to Faith with fear in her eyes, Faith stared back at her with the same fear.
"Well?"
"Um.. you see....I ....um...oh look, we have to go Faith!" Willow and Faith made a dash for the doors only to have them slam shut in their faces.
Severus replaced his wand in his robe and stood there waiting for his daughter to answer.
Willow turned and stared with fear at her father.
"Well?"
Willow was about to say something when she remembered something from the previous night. She looked right at McGonagall and smiled.
"What happened with you and Mrs. McGonagall last night?" Willow asked smiling at her father. She saw him pale slightly and loose composure for just a second.
"We talked. She wanted to know what was going on." Severus replied. "And don't change the subject."
"Aw, are you afraid that the students will see you two can somewhat tolorate each other DADDY?" Willow replied sweetly. And she couldn't help but notice that Giles was holding back laughter.
"Faith." Willow whispered.
Faith looked at her as if to ask 'what?' Willow looked at her and asked "Did hell freeze over?"
Faith followed Willow's gaze and grinned. They had only seen Giles smile a few times since they had known him and they were very rare occasions.
Giles was just about falling out of his seat, trying not to laugh.
"So who is dog-boy?"
Willow groaned. Leave it to her dad to remember the whole reason for the conversation.
Willow walked up to the table and took a drink from her cup. (That was sitting besides her dad's.) And for a reason only known to him, Snape was smiling.
"So, who exactly is dog-boy?" he asked once again. And to the shock of everyone he got an actual answer this time.
"My ex-boyfriend, Oz."
"And why is his name dog-boy?"
"He is a werewolf." Willow repied shrugging.
If this shocked Severus he showed no signs.
"And why did you two break up?'
"He got what he wanted out of the relationship and he was also going on tour with his band so he chose to break it off."
"Did you love him?"
"Yes."
Willow was walking back down to Faith when realization dawned on her. She froze and whirled around to face her very smug looking father.
"DAD!!! What did you...."
"A truth potion in your drink, dear daughter."
Willow blanched at the reality of it and hit herself in the head with her palms.
Why fathers had to go and be all sneaky was beyond her.
