Being His Daughter CONTINUED

Daniels

   I woke up about five hours later at 6:00 am to what sounded like bombs going off. My eyes popped open and with the clear memory of what I had done not long ago, I couldn't help but cackle like a maniac.

"What's going on?" Airam shrieked as I sprang up out of bed and shot out of the room. In the dorm hall, some Slytherins simply had their heads popped out of their rooms sleepily while others were darting down the hall with me towards the dungeons, where the booms were coming from. They were still coming strong, one after another and then several at a time.

I couldn't keep the grin off my face as I ran along with about fifty other brave souls to Snape's office, where the noise was coming from. We all stopped outside his door, and a couple seconds later the bombs stopped, and it was silent. We all stood there, holding out breaths.

Then the door swung open and Snape stormed out, looking absolutely livid with his hair drenched and robes drenched and soap smeared all other him. Bubbles were pooling out of his black hair. The grins were wiped off everyone's faces, except mine. I was trying very hard not to burst into a fit of laughter

"Who. Did. It," Snape snarled, his dark, angry, eyes scanning over all of us. I snorted and his menacing gaze fell upon me. Everyone's bravery seemed to evaporate and we all went running back to the common room.

"Get back here!" Snape hollered.

While running, I tripped over some blasted idiots robes and fell onto the ground with a grunt. I turned my head to see Snape stomping over to me. Suddenly a tall boy picked me up with ease and pushed me gently to encourage me to keep running. Everyone had already passed us up and I heard the common room door slam shut as the boy and I tried to run after them.

"Daniels! Bring her over here!" Snape demanded angrily.

I skidded to a halt, and the boy, Daniels, held me behind him, a smirk on his handsome face. He was so tall that my head only came up to his chest. "Ah, Professor, she's only a third year!" Daniels said shrewdly.

"That's Sierra Riddle," Snape said hotly as I smiled cheekily at him from behind Daniels. "She's the only one who could've done this. Now hand her over!"

Daniels suddenly looked back at me and his face brightened. "Oi! It is Riddle!"

"Daniels!" Snape warned dangerously.

Daniels winked back at me, making my head cock to the side in confusion, before he shouted, "Run!"

It didn't take me any time to process what had happened before I turned and sprinted down the hall with Daniels right behind me. Snape let out an angry yell and I couldn't help but cackle as Daniels and I rounded a corner, me almost scraping my arm on the stone wall. Daniels suddenly grabbed my arm and yanked me back. "In here," he urged with an excited grin on his face. He opened a broom cupboard and shoved me in before closing the door softly after himself.

"Why in here--"

"Sh!" He placed a hand over my mouth and I sucked in a breath. The clapping of Snape's shoes on the cement outside ran by us and Daniels removed his hand from my mouth. I looked up at him and clearly studied his face and he grinned foolishly down at me. He was rather handsome, with his messy black hair and light brown eyes and chiseled jaw, but I didn't think on the topic for too long before I blurted out in a whisper, "Why did you help me?"

"Well," he said. He was still smirking at me deviously. "I'm a prankster too, so it was basically my duty to help you. Besides, if I had chosen to hand you over, that would've been a pretty fucked up move."
