Bothering Snape

Monday 29th December

7.30 am

Hector and i have got into the routine of walking about the town, getting to know the area, but some places we just seemed to return to, these were the park and the river, both seemed to have so much space, and air, unlike home although i couldn't call it that. it was more like four dirty walls and a rotten roof that had leaks, honestly why would Clive move us here, it was crowded and the house was just full of anger (mainly Clive's) and fear (the rest of us)

I was walking in the park garden when i was attacked by an all too eager owl, of course i recognised her at once, she was rather excited to see me, since Clive moved in we have stopped attacking each other, as if we have formed a truce.

i took the letter from her, i opened it and read

My darling Lyra, the most amazing and brilliant news, for i have just asked my mother where vine-wood end is, and guess what my sweet, we live five minutes walk from each other, for i, you see live in hills-gate close, the other side of the park, i'll meet you at the park at 10am sharp, i told your owl to wake you up, i hope she succeeded, with many pokes and prods, your darling and most amazing friend, Tiffany

p.s you live a street away from s.e.v.v.y, just saying.

i dropped to the floor in a stunned silence, what the hell was happening.

8.00am

i ran back to the house of the devil and opened the door slowly, expecting the usual explosion but it did not come, so i crept up the stairs into Hector and my room.

'No need to creep, Lyra. He has gone out' Hector replied from where he was sitting at the desk sucking a quill writing a letter to either Lucas or Johnny, i'm not sure who.

'but i do so love to creep' i said in a mysterious voice

'Oh i know, looking through Snapes bedroom window' he said, i gagged slightly

'Don't even joke of such things, i'm not into yeti's, and did you know he lives about a street away from us?' i said sitting on his bed, he smirked

'Yeah i guessed as much, Lily told me he lived around here' he said

'You spoke to her?' 

'Of course' he grinned, i rolled my eyes and hit him around the head, he hissed at me like a cat, i grinned at him

'Purrfect' i said rubbing my hands together and standing up, he just chuckled and went back to his letter, 

'I'm meeting Tiffany at ten, she lives around here too, did you know?' i asked pulling a coat on

'Yeah, Lily' he said, i hit him on the head again

'Why the hell did you not tell me?' i said crossing my arms he shrugged

'Forgot' i huffed and walked out of the room, i heard him chuckle

'Moron!' i yelled up the stairs

'Spoonfiddler' he yelled down, i gasped

'forkbasher' i shouted up

'Pineappletoucher' he retorted coming to the top of the stairs, wearing a grin

'Pomegranatestroker' i smirked back, he gasped dramatically and placed a hand to his heart

'That hurt, right here' he said resting his hand on his forehead

'Good' i said folding my arms across my chest, he was about to retort but we heard keys in the door and both shut up, Clive pushed past me and walked to the kitchens, i hurried out of the door, waving good-bye to my mum as i went
