Neville back away as silently as possible....for Neville of course

Luna threw another handful of stones in a third direction to cover the inevitable noise.

Snape started growing more suspicious by the moment.

He pulled out his wand and began mumbling under his breath.

At that point, Sprout, who had been moving towards them, came into Snape's view.

Snape's eyes narrowed as he looked between Professor Sprout and the direction the last noise had come from.

Sprout starting talking animatedly to Snape causing him to momentarily forget that nagging feeling he was being watched.

"Can I help you with something, Severus?"

Allison//Ravenclaw/6

Snape cast one last nervous glance over his shoulder before continuing conversation with Sprout.

Professor Binns, now quite embarrassed that this wasn't going as well as he had hoped, motioned for the children to get back into the machine.

However, Neville was determined to stay and watch what was to happen between Professor Sprout and Snape.

"Mr. Longbottom," Binns cried, "I must insist that you get in the vehicle."

Allison//Claw/7

"But..." Neville was unable to finish his sentence because something truly extraordinary happened between Snape and Professor Sprout at that moment.

Professor Snape had conjured up a bouquet of sparkling red roses and slowly stepped towards Professor Sprout.

Katie//Hufflepuff//6

Looking at his mentor, Neville's eyes widened as his jaw dropped.

"Oh, Severus! You remembered!", Sprout exclaimed excitedly.

Katie//Hufflepuff//7

[pinksonia.livejournal.com]

"Of course I did," he brushed past her.

Allison//Ravenclaw/9

[catbots.livejournal.com]

Snape walked awfully close to Neville, holding the bouquet of sweet smelling roses, a small smile on his face.

At that moment, Neville let out a loud hiccuping noise, breaking the tension and silence.

Patricia//Ravenclaw//7

[catbots.livejournal.com]

"What was that horrible noise?" Professor Snape hissed, his eyes seeming to stare at Neville.

Heather/Gryffindor/10

Neville moved backwards a couple of steps, his hair standing on end, and crashed unceremoniously into Luna who let out a loud squeal.

Patricia//Ravenclaw//8

Professor Sprout was the quickest to react, swiping her wand all over the vicinity, while muttering something that sounded like 'students' under her breath.

Professor Binns quickly cast a protective barrier around his two wayward charges, shielding them from Sprout's detection charm.

Allison/Ravenclaw/9

Luna held her breath, eyes widened, as she furtively glanced around, hoping the professors wouldn't notice.

Suddenly, Snape turned to the window, looking out at the whomping willow before saying softly, "It certainly is beautiful today, isn't it, Pamona?"
