Hermione screamed. Sirius leapt to his feet and pulled Ethan behind him, Eric propped himself slightly. Harry felt as though he'd received a huge electric shock.
"I found this at the base of the Whomping Willow," said Snape, throwing the cloak aside, careful to keep this wand pointing directly at Lupin's chest. "Very useful, Potter, I thank you..."
Snape was slightly breathless, but his face was full of suppressed triumph. "You're wondering, perhaps, how I knew you were here?" he said, his eyes glittering. "I've just been to your office, Lupin. You forgot to take your potion tonight, so I took a gobletful along. And very lucky I did... lucky for me, I mean. Lying on your desk was a certain map. One glance at it told me all I needed to know. I saw you running along this passageway and out of sight."
"Severus-" Lupin began, but Snape overrode him.
"I've told the headmaster again and again that you're helping your old friend"
Sirius rolled his eyes "and son into the castle, Lupin, and here's the proof. Not even I dreamed you would have the nerve to use this old place as your hideout-"
"Severus, you're making a mistake," said Lupin urgently. "You haven't heard everything- I can explain, Sirius and Eric aren't here to kill Harry-"
"Three more for Azkaban tonight," said Snape, his eyes now gleaming fanatically. "Maybe your two innocent children were helping them in. Maybe they will go to Azkaban too."
Emily watched as Sirius' grip on Ethan's arm tightened. Before she could do anything, Eric also stood up, snatched her wand, and stood in-front of her.
"I shall be interested to see how Dumbledore takes this... He was quite convinced you were harmless, you know, Lupin... a tame werewolf"
"You fool," said Lupin softly. "Is a schoolboy grudge worth putting an innocent man and his innocent child back inside Azkaban?"
BANG! Thin, snakelike cords burst from the end of Snape's wand and twisted themselves around Lupin's mouth, wrists, and ankles; he overbalanced and fell to the floor, unable to move.
"Dad!" Emily shouted and tried to oust past Eric but Eric tightened his hold on her arms so she physically couldn't.
With a roar of rage, Sirius started toward Snape, but Snape pointed his wand straight between Sirius' eyes.
"Give me a reason," he whispered. "Give me a reason to do it, and I swear I will."
Sirius stopped dead. It would have been impossible to say which face showed more hatred.
Harry stood there, paralyzed, not knowing what to do or whom to believe. He glanced around at Ron and Hermione. Ron looked just as confused as he did, still fighting to keep hold on the struggling Scabbers. Hermione, however, took an uncertain step toward Snape and said, in a very breathless voice, "Professor Snape, it wouldn't hurt to hear what they've got to say, w-would it?"
"Miss Granger, you are already facing suspension from this school," Snape spat. "You, Potter, the two Lupin's, and Weasley are out-of-bounds, in the company of two convicted murderers and a werewolf. For once in your life, hold your tongue."
"But if-if there was a mistake-"
"KEEP QUIET, YOU STUPID GIRL!" Snape shouted, looking suddenly quite deranged. "DON'T TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!"
A few sparks shot out of the end of his wand, which was still pointed at Sirius' face. Hermione fell silent.
"Vengeance is very sweet," Snape breathed at Sirius. "How I hoped I would be the one to catch you..."
