Tom contorted his face into a mock expression of horror as Severus laughed. "Excuse me?" Tom demanded."I am better than some Death Eater." He sniffed imperiously. "If it’s not that much of a difference, I reckon I should be allowed to be a Dark Lord too." Severus announced childishly, he rarely let go and just enjoy life, but this family he had, they brought it out of him easily. "You wish." Tom shot him down quickly while still pretending to be offended. "This peasant, he must be taught. Take him to the dungeons!" Harry and Hermione had collapsed into uncontrollable giggles on the couch watching their Father and Uncle play around, completely carefree. "NO! I am the Dark Lord!" Severus shouted as he brandished his wand at Tom."The dungeons are my domain!" "You answer to me! It is only your domain because I allow it!" Tom declared pompously as he pulled his own wand out with a smirk that wouldn’t look-out-of place on the devil. Their impromptu play duel was interrupted when a silver shadow burst into the room abruptly. The blinding light slowly faded leaving the silver mist flying there in the distinct shape of a bird, but not just any bird. A Phoenix. Severus’ expression changed from happiness and carefree to anger and annoyance as the silvery shadow bird opened its mouth to speak. Surprisingly to Harry and Hermione it wasn’t a birds squawk that came out, but the voice of Headmaster Dumbledore. "Heads of Houses please ensure all your students are in their dorms, then proceed to my office for an emergency meeting. Another attack has happened. This time on a student." Then like it was never there it vanished.
