Snape was slightly breathless, but his face was full of suppressed triumph.

Snape: You're wondering, perhaps, how I knew you were here?  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.  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.

Lupin: Severus-

Snape: I've told the headmaster again and again that you're helping your old friend Black 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-

Lupin: Severus, you're making a mistake.  You haven't heard everything.  Sirius is not here to kill Harry-

Snape: Two more for Azkaban tonight.  I shall be interested to see how Dumbledore takes this, hewas quite convinced you were harmless, you know, Lupin... a tame werewolf.

Lupin: You fool.  Is a schoolboy grudge worth putting an innocent man 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.  With a roar of rage, Black started toward Snape, but Snape pointed his wand straight between Black's eyes.

Snape: Give me a reason.  Give me a reason to do it, and I swear I will.

Black stopped dead.  It would have been impossible to say which face showed more hatred.

Hermione: Professor Snape... i-it wouldn't hurt to hear what they've got to say, w-would it?

Snape: Miss Granger, you are already facing suspension from this school.  You, Potter, Weasley, Lovegood, and Gojo are out-of-bounds, in the company of a convicted murderer and a werewolf.  For once in your life, hold your tongue.

Ava: But if... if there was a mistake-

Snape: KEEP QUIET, YOU STUPID GIRL!  DON'T TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU DON'T UNDERSTA-

Ava burst into tears and hugged me again.  I took my glasses off and pointed my finger at Snape, glaring.  His eyes narrowed at me.

YN: You don't get to speak to her like that.

Snape: Gojo, I will-

YN: Red!

There was a flash of red light and a blast that made the door rattle on its hinges.  Snape was lifted off his feet and slammed into the wall, then slid down it to the floor, a trickle of blood oozing from under his hair.  He had been knocked out.  Everyone stared at me in shock.

YN: I've been wanting to do that for years.

Sirius: You shouldn't have done that.  You should have left him to me...

Hermione: YN... you attacked a teacher... oh, we'regoing to be in so much trouble-

Lupin was struggling against his bonds.  Black bent down quickly and untied him.  Lupin straightened up, rubbing his arms where the ropes had cut into them.

Lupin: Thank you, YN.

Harry: I'm still not sure I believe you.

Sirius: Then it's time we offered you some proof.  You, boy, give me Peter.  Now.

Ron clutched Scabbers closer to his chest.

Ron: Come off it.  Are you trying to say he broke out of Azkaban just to get his hands on Scabbers?  I mean... okay, say Pettigrew could turn into a rat.  There are millions of rats, how's he supposed to know which one he's after if he was locked up in Azkaban?
