New And Improved Harry Potter

He was floating in an area of black, and there were stars shining in a bubble, like a tiny pocket of space. He touched one and saw the time he woke up missing his glasses for the third time. He moved to the edge of the small universe and saw a great white open area. At the extreme far end was speck of orange light, like a tiny piece of sun.

However, the white space was vast and the speck looked like a mirage, all watery and hardly there. He knew that his memories were on the other side, but when he tried to step in the space a barrier held him back. He figured he wasn't ready yet, so he turned and started to build the Enterprise. He had decided to go with the USS Enterprise - NCC-1701-D, since it was much more advanced.

For an hour he built, but he wasn't kidding before, he was quite tired from the last two fun filled days. So he gave up for now and went to sleep. He thought he heard Data say, 'We seem to be gaining power, Captain. It is an anomaly,' as he slipped off into a nice dream of girls, girls and more girls.

Snape's POV

Just when Snape didn't think his day could get any worse, there was a scratching at his door. He got curious, drew his wand and went to answer it. On the other side was a huge Grim. Shocked at seeing the Death Dog, he was easily pushed aside. Much to his surprise, and discontent, the Grim morphed into his hated childhood nemesis.

"Black," he spat and fired off a bone crushing curse, thinking he could get that Order of Merlin after all. He still had no idea how the man had escaped, but he knew it had something to do with Potter. It always did.

Sirius ducked the spell and threw a small dung bomb at the other man's face, making him choke on the smoke and smell. "Fuck off, Snivellus, and calm down. I just need to speak to you," he said as he raised his stolen wand and wrapped the man in ropes. He then guided him to a chair and tied him to it.

He grabbed Snape's wand, set it on a nearby table, and sat in the opposite chair. "Now, tell me what you did to Harry," he demanded as he leaned forward into the Potions Master's space.

"I did not do anything to your precious godson," Snape snarled back, again wondering if the boy's memories were returning. "Perhaps, in his clumsiness, he fell and hit his head."

"He didn't, and he had the taste of dirty socks in his mouth when he woke. That means a potion, which means you," Black accused with a jabbing finger. He didn't know if the man had a direct hand in Harry's condition, but he was bound and determined to find out.

It was too bad that Snape was an accomplished Occlumens. He'd pull it from his mind if he could, but he was pants at Legilimency. No, for now he would just put the fear of the Marauders in him.

Severus discreetly tried to get out of his bonds all the while snarling at the hated man. He didn't get far and soon gave a minuscule sigh of defeat. His mind was going a mile a minute to try and come up with a believable story. "I didn't see the brat after we retired that nights. All I know, from what the Baron told me, is that he came to the classroom and then left in a hurry. Who know what the little monster got up to while he was rummaging around the cabinets? Potions are a tricky thing, and if not taken correctly, they can have devastating consequences," he said as calmly as he could, which was very well. Thank Merlin for Occlumency.

"Okay, I'll grant you that, but I don't believe for a minute that you are telling me the whole truth. Know this, Snivellus, I am already a wanted man, so killing you would not be an inconvenience," he idly threatened. It was an empty threat, but given their past, Snape would take it seriously.

He didn't want to stay here too long, someone might see him, and he'd get caught. The last thing he needed was to be put back in Azkaban. He had already put a wizard-repelling charm on the Shrieking Shack, and hoped that no one would remember that it was there. He was taking a great risk coming here. He was tempted to Obliviate the greasy git, but he was terrible at that spell and might wipe his entire memory, which might be beneficial, but it would be noticed.

"Threats, Black? How boring," Snape said in a condescending tone. Though, he was even more worried now. He knew that the man had it in him to kill.

Sirius waved him off and got up from the chair. "Oh, and one more thing, I have spies here in the castle, and they're keeping a very close eye on you," he said cheerfully as he waved his wand and turned the bound man's skin orange with pointy green hair. Like the Oompa Loompas in that movie Lily made them watch after Harry was born.

He even added a charm to make the man sing once a day. It would last a week, since it didn't change his features. That and the song would stay in his head forever. Then he went to the door, looked up and down the hall, turned and made a small cut in the knot, morphed into his other form and left.

Severus snarled again and struggled to free himself from the ropes. This time, because of the cut, he was able to. He snatched up his wand and made it to the door, but Black was long gone. He would have to tell Albus that the man still had access to the castle.

He went to his room looked in the mirror and yell inarticulately. How he loathed that man. He sent a house elf to get the Headmaster and repeatedly tried to charm away the jinx.

Dumbledore soon came in, and tried very hard not to laugh at his protégé. "My dear boy, what in Merlin's name happened to you?" he asked, his eyes were twinkling madly, and he was waving his wand trying to dispel the joke.

"That blasted Black was here and he threatened my life. He seems to be under the delusion that I had something to do with Potter's condition," Snape snapped, as he paced the room. "I informed him, the same as I did you, that I did not see the boy that night after the drawing of the names. However, he does not believe me. Albus you have to do something about this."

"Oh dear, that is not good," the Headmaster mumbled. If Black was in touch with Harry there was no telling what kind of mischief they would get up to. He was glad to know that the child had yet to leave the castle proper. He would have to find Sirius and impart to him the importance of making Harry see that he, Albus Dumbledore, was not a man that went around and violated little boys' minds. What had happened was necessary to help the child. If only the boy were still mild mannered, then all this would not be playing out the way it was. It was beyond frustrating and quite tiring.

"That is all you have to say? A murdering madman snuck into the castle, came into my quarters and threatened to kill me, and all you can say is 'oh dear'? Look at what he did to me!" the deformed teacher yelled at the old goat. This was typical of Albus, even when they were students the old coot would take the Marauders' side.

"Things are not always as they seem. You are going to have to trust me that Sirius is not a threat," the Headmaster stated with a firm tone that brooked not argument. "Let it go, Severus."

"Yes, Headmaster," Snape said with gritted teeth. "However, I will not be put on display to the students."

"We will simply have to cancel your classes until it wears off. Although, you are more than welcome to go to the Hospital Wing and see if Poppy can reverse it," Albus stated, looking over his glasses with a challenge in his eyes. He knew that Severus would not leave these rooms looking like that unless the need was dire.

That made Snape pause, a week or so away from the dunderheads was worth contemplating, even though they just had a week off searching for that brat. One more would be more than welcome. That and he didn't want that dozy cow to know that Black had gotten the best of him… again. "Very well, I will remain in my quarters until the jinx wears off," he said in a much calmer tone.

"Yes, I had a feeling you would," the Headmaster said as he made for the door. "I must depart; I have a never-ending stack of paperwork that must be finished before I retire. Goodnight, Severus, sleep well," he stated as he left the grumbling man behind.
