Luca Snape and their Life book 2

Chapter 5

(Time skip to samhain or Halloween)

Lucas P.O.V

Harry was saying how he wasn't planning on going to the Halloween feast tonight because its the night his parents died when Sir Nicholas glided over to us.

"If you aren't going to the feast how would you all like to come to my death-day party tonight?"

Harry and some of the others nodded. "Sure sound fun I've never been to a death-day party before."

"Me and Draco cant we have a new Tradition on samhain now we are of age we'll meet you after the feast though."

So when evening came the others went to the party while me and Draco went to my Dads quarters.

"Ready you two?" Dad asked as he turned of the lights and started lighting five candles in a pentacle shape.

We nodded very excited as we hadnt done this ritual as we werent old enough last year.

We sat together in the ritual area and joined hands as dad started chanting in latin. "In hac nocte sanctifices nos spiritus adjunge sicut te honoramus et rogamus ut benedicamur ab his caris nobi qui transierunt."

(rough translation from interweb: On this night of Samhain, spirits join us as we honour you and request our magic be blessed by those dear to us who have passsed on.)

The ritual was mainly just to refresh our magic and honour family that has passed on. "Whoah." I commented once the circle was broken. "My magic feels so content." Draco nodded. My dad just smiled softly. "Now remember most rituals are seen as forbidden and sacred to only family so you cant tell anyone not even your friends."

"We understand" We answered together and went to go meet our friends.

As we got a corridor or so away we noticed water on the floor. "Do you think someone flooded a bathroom?"

"Maybe but whats the point?" Suddenly I stopped.

"Draco." I pointed shakily at the wall where daubed threateningly ,in what I hoped wasn't blood, was 'The chamber of secrets has been opened enemies of the heir beware.' And next to it was Mrs Norris.

We heard footsteps from both ends of the corridor coming towards us. From one end was the teachers and Filch and from the other the rest of the misfits.

"MY CAT !YOU DEGENERATES KILLED MY CAT!" Filch shouted at us before Dumbledore stepped in telling him that the cat wasn't dead only petrefied apparently and before we could plead our innocence Ron spoke up.

"What the hell does 'Enemies of the heir mean' Is this what ou two were doing tonight?"

"No! What makes you think we'd do this, guys we're your best friends?" I asked with tears in my eyes and before Ron or any of the others could retort my dad spoke up.

"The twins were with me as you all saw I also wasn't at the feast we were spending time in my quarters as a family." After everything was sorted. We both ran up to the others but they turned away all except pheonix, Katie and Luna.

"Guys come on we didn't do anyting you've gotta believe us." I called after them. "You heard what my dad said." Hermione whirled round.

"Well of course he covered for you hes your father."

I took a step back shock colouring my expression at the venom in her tone, before turning tail and bolting down to the dungeons fruitlessly fighting the sting of tears that were already falling from my dark blue eyes.
