 ANOTHER NIGHT SHE SPENDS ALONE NARCISSA WAS ALMOST PANICKED WHEN SUDDENLY SEVERUS CAST A SILENT PROTECTION SPELL BESIDE HER. SHE GASPED AND TURNED AROUND, FACING SEVERUS AND THEIR STRANGER. SHE IMMEDIATELY THRUST HER WAND INTO THE AIR AND AIMED IT AT THE HIDDEN FIGURE. "EXPELLIARMUS!" SHE SHOUTED, THEN IMMEDIATELY FOUND HERSELF IN THE POSSESSION OF THE STRANGER'S WAND. SHE PANTED FOR A SECOND BEFORE REALIZING THE PERSON COULD STILL GET AWAY - THOUGH SHE DOUBTED HE OR SHE WOULD DO SO WITHOUT HIS OR HER WAND.
"LOCOMOTOR MORTIS!" CISSA SCREAMED, FLICKING HER WAND AND SENDING THE LEG-LOCKING CURSE TOWARD HER ENEMY. IT WAS THEN THAT SHE REALIZED THE PERSON WOULD BE FOOLED OUT. BREATHING HEAVILY, SHE TURNED TO SEVERUS AS SHE LEANED AGAINST ONE OF THE NEARBY COLUMNS. "COULD YOU...DISILLUSION?" SHE ASKED THROUGH WAVERING BREATH, BOTH WANDS IN HER HANDS SHAKING.
NARCISSA WAS ALRIGHT WHEN IT CAME TO PROTECTING HERSELF, BUT WHEN CAUGHT OFF GUARD IT REALLY THREW HER FOR A LOOP. SHE STOOD SHAKILY AGAINST THE WALL AND WATCHED HER COMPANY, WONDERING WHO IT WAS THAT THOUGHT SHE WAS SO HORRIBLE THAT SHE NEEDED TO BE STALKED IN SUCH A MANNER.

The Expelliarmus connected beautifully, in Severus's opinion, launching the culprit's wand away from him, but he responded just as quickly by dropping a Dungbomb and trying to leg it away and down the corridor. Severus Vanished the repulsive firework and watched interestedly as the Leg-Locker smacked into the target's back and toppled him over.
Rather than wait for a response, Severus simply flicked his wand and said "Finite Incantatem."
The Disillusionment faded, revealing a groaning Davey Gudgeon, which made Severus roll his eyes. The boy had only just gotten released from detention from harassing the Whomping Willow, and almost immediately he was back at mischief making again.
"It was a bet!" Davey called, panicked, still trying to scramble away. "Nothing personal, you know. Just keep you in the Wing for a day. Get this jinx off me, will'ya?"
Severus glanced at Narcissa with a raised eyebrow. "Shall you do the honors, or shall I?"

ANOTHER NIGHT SHE SPENDS ALONE SHE COUGHED AT THE DUNGBOMB SMOKE THAT FILLED AROUND THEM, BUT AS IT QUICKLY DISSIPATED, SHE LAID HER EYES ON THE CULPRIT - DAVEY GUDGEON. SEVERUS LOOKED TO HER AND QUESTIONED, BUT SHE SWIFTLY WALKED FORWARD TO DAVEY AND GAVE HIM A NICE POKE AT THE SHOULDER, WATCHING HIM FALL OVER ONTO HIS BACK. HIS LEGS WERE STIFF AS A BOARD, SO THE WHOLE 'PUSHOVER' NICKNAME SHE THOUGHT OF CALLING HIM BY REALLY APPLIED.
CISSA GAVE A QUICK HAND UP AT SEVERUS FOR A MOMENT, BEFORE KNEELING DOWN BESIDE THE KID. "YOU PATHETIC PRAT!' SHE YELLED AT HIM, GRABBING HIS FACE AND FORCING HIM TO LOOK AT HER AS HE ATTEMPTED TO AVOID HER EYES. THEY PIERCED THROUGH HIM NOW, ANGRY, COLD, AND DISCONNECTED. "IF YOU SO MUCH AS RAISE THIS WAND IN MY DIRECTION -" SHE HELD UP HIS WAND, "I WILL PERSONALLY SEE TO IT THAT THE ONLY ONE ENDING UP IN THE HOSPITAL WING WILL BE YOU - AND YOU CAN PUT A LITTLE BET ON IT THAT YOUR DURATION WILL EXCEED ONE DAMN DAY," CISSA THREATENED, BEFORE THROWING HIS WAND AT THE GROUND NEAR HIS FACE.
SHE LET GO OF HIM AND STOOD UP, THEN POINTED HER WAND AT HIM. "UNDERSTOOD?" SHE ASKED STERNLY, WATCHING HIM NOD WITH FEARFUL EYES. CISSY SMIRKED AS HE FLINCHED. "FINITE INCANTATEM," NARCISSA SPOKE CLEARLY, THEN WATCHED AS HIS LEGS RETURNED TO NORMALCY. THE BOY SCRAMBLED FOR HIS WAND AND HEADED BACK DOWN THE HALL, RUNNING HARD. CISSA STASHED HER WAND BACK IN HER POCKET AND TURNED TOWARD SEVERUS, SIGHING.
"FUCKING STUPID PRAT," SHE MUTTERED, THEN WALKED BACK TOWARD HER COMPANY AND NODDED FORWARD. "THANKS FOR THAT."

Severus watched in nothing less than total satisfaction as Narcissa terrorized the boy then sent him fleeing for his life down the corridor. "I retract any doubts I may have had previously about your worthiness of the prefect position." he commented, as she rejoined him. "That - was appropriate authority."
His mood inexplicably cheered by the event, he spelled up a Ventas breeze to sweep away the stench and resumed his pace towards the Slytherin common room. "It seems someone dislikes you enough, and is intelligent enough, to make a catspaw out of poor Davies." he commented. "Keep your eyes open, miss Black."
He made no comment of her trembling hands - combat shakes were a common thing, and not to be made light of.

ANOTHER NIGHT SHE SPENDS ALONE NARCISSA GRINNED AT SEVERUS' THRILLED EXPRESSION. SHE'D OBVIOUSLY PROVED HER WORTH. AT HIS WORDS SHE NODDED, GIVING HIM A QUICK SHRUG. "YOU KNOW, SEVERUS, I DON'T CARE REALLY TO GO TO GREAT LENGTHS TO HORRIFY OTHERS," SHE SAID, AND THEN SMIRKED. "BUT YOU DON'T MESS WITH A BLACK."
"APPARENTLY," SHE ANSWERED, THEN SHOOK HER HEAD. "IF IT'S ALL THE SAME, THEY'RE NOT SO INTELLIGENT, REALLY. AS I'VE SAID, YOU DON'T MESS WITH A BLACK. I DON'T THINK THIS ENEMY OF MINE KNOWS WHO HE OR SHE IS MESSING WITH," CISSY REPLIED.
THEIR WALK TO THE SLYTHERIN COMMON ROOM DID NOT TAKE LONG, IN FACT. THE CONFIDENCE SHE GAINED FROM RIPPING THE BOY TO SHREDS MADE HER STRUT LIKE SHE OWNED THE PLACE. NOT SO MUCH AS TO INITIMIDATE SEVERUS, OR EVEN OTHERS, BUT MAINLY FOR THE PURE FACT THAT SHE JUST COULDN'T HELP BUT BE HAPPY ABOUT HOW THEIR VENTURE HAD GONE. SURE, SHE'D ALMOST BEEN CURSED AGAIN, BUT SHE TOOK BACK HER CLAIM AND MADE IT KNOWN THAT SHE WOULDN'T GO DOWN EASY.
OR, AT ALL.
AS THEY WALKED DOWN THE DUNGEONS, CISSA TURNED TO SEVERUS WITH A SLY SMILE. "YOU HEADING TO BED NOW?"

"I think they do have a better idea than before, at least." Severus noted, as they halted before the entrance to the Slytherin common room. "I will hold hopes they remain ignorant though. A stupid enemy is a good one to have."
In response to Miss Black's question he simply nodded. "I'm heading in the direction of my bed, yes. I have remarkably early mornings - as early as the Head Nurse rises, or so I'm told."

ANOTHER NIGHT SHE SPENDS ALONE CISSA NODDED, SIGHING. "I DEFINITELY AGREE," SHE SAID, THEN TURNED TO THE DUNGEON WALL. "HISSING SERPENT," SHE SAID, THEN WATCHED AS THE WALL REVEALED THE SLYTHERIN COMMON ROOM IN ALL ITS GREEN AND BLACK FLORY.
SHE ENTERED AND WAS SURE SEVERUS WAS BEHIND HER. CISSA SET HER HAND ON ONE THE ARMRESTS OF A CHAIR AND LEANED AGAINST IT, STANDING LOPSIDED AT HIM. "AWE, ALRIGHT. WELL, UNTIL NEXT TIME," SHE NODDED AT HIM, CLIMBING THE SHORT SET OF STAIRS AND THEN TURNED TOWARD THE GIRLS' DORMITORY. SHE PAUSED AND LOOKED BACK AT HIM, GRINNING. "BY THE WAY, I THINK I WILL ASK LUCIUS FOR AN ESCORT," SHE WINKED, THEN DISAPPEARED.
