Chapter 1

James Potter sat outside the Headmasters office. He couldn't hear what was being said, but he knew it wasn't good. He glanced next to him and saw Snape obviously just as nervous as he was. The two of them had been caught fighting, (again) and Dumbledore seemed angrier then he normally was about their fights.

It was the end of his fifth year so James figured he could get away with the prank since it was the last day of school before summer break, but apparently the Headmaster wasn't having any of that. Dumbledore had made James and Severus miss the train and stay at the school until both their parents had arrived, and now the two of them where stuck outside his office until a decision for their punishment had been made.

Eventually the door opened and the two of them had been called in. The two boys went and stood by their parents, (or parent in Severus's case since only his mother was present). "Alright boys," began the Headmaster. "I believe that we have decided on a proper punishment for the two of you." The two boys gulped, it didn't mater how cheerfully the headmaster said it; they were being punished and that is all that really mattered.

"The two of you should be thankful," continued Dumbledore ignoring their nervousness. "A lot of students have requested to stay over the summer at Hogwarts." For once in their lives both James and Severus shared and equally confused moment as they glanced at each other. The Professor chuckled at their confusion and continued the explanation, "Your parents and I have agreed that the two of you MUST learn to at least ignore each other. So as punishment you will be spending your summer in one of the rooms in Hogwarts. It will be a nice set of rooms, but never the less; the two of you won't LEAVE those rooms for the entirety of the summer."

The Headmaster held up his hand stopping all protests before they even started as he continued to lay down the ground rules, "Neither of you will be allowed to use magic, or be given any magical objects, not even magicked candy, like chocolate frogs. You will each be given a trunk and whatever you fit in it you can bring with you. The two of you have until tonight to return here with your trunks. You might also want to write to your friends explaining that you won't be able to contact them this summer"

They were quiet for a moment before Severus asked, "what about food?"

"The house elves will be feeding you breakfast, lunch and dinner," answered the headmaster.

"What if we need something?" asked James. "Like what if I run out of ink or something for my quill? Could I ask for more?"

Dumbledore seemed to think for a moment before answering, "yes you may ask for things, and as long as they aren't, dangerous, magic, or alcohol it will be fine." The two boys took the trunks and led out of the headmaster's office and taken home.

James spent most of his time writing a letter to each of his friends explaining what was happening, 'they are going to think this is the funniest thing they have ever heard,' thought James as he packed as much candy and magazines into the trunk as he could after he had put a few sets of clothes on the bottom. James stopped only to toss in his herbology book and a new journal amongst the haphazard bunch of magazines and candy. 'Might as well attempt to study while I am trapped with the nerd,' James mentally sighed as he sat on the trunk so that he could latch it before he headed down out of his room to be taken to his summer prison.

When he was returned to Hogwarts he was led by the Headmaster to the prefect lounge area that was connected to the bathroom. The room generally had a table and a couple of couches, but James noticed that two beds had been added to the room.

Severus had already claimed the far left bed sitting on it as Professor Slughorn went through his trunk to make sure that there wasn't anything prohibited in it. The Professor looked up and gave the Headmaster a nod before saying, "Mr. Snape's trunk is all clear. Do you want me to check Mr. Potter's as well?"

"No thanks you may leave," said Dumbledore with a smile as Slughorn gave another nod and left the room.It didn't take the Headmaster long to look through James's trunk and clear it and leave the room. The two boy's could hear him mutter a locking spell before walking away. When his steps faded away the two sat in silence before Severus threw himself on against the bed and started screaming in kicking.

The sudden movement and screaming startled James so much he jumped off his bed and away from the Slytherin. When Snape stopped his random flailing James snapped, "What the hell!"

Severus just shrugged as he stood up and opened his trunk again, "I've been wanting to do that since we were told about this punishment. I simply saw an opening to finally do what I wanted."

James just stared at him for a moment before saying, "you're fucking nuts!" Severus just shrugged again as he removed his clothes from the trunk and put them in a dresser next to his bed. Soon James followed the Slytherin's example and started to 'unpack' his things. Well if you can call opening his trunk and flipping it upside down unpacking it then, yes he unpacked it.

Now that his clothes where on the top of the pile he put those away first before he started stacking up his magazines and organizing his candy on top of the dresser that was next to his own desk. Severus just stared at him for a moment before muttering, "have enough candy there Potter?"

"Nope," said James instantly before glancing over and seeing Snape carefully stacking a pile of books, several large note books, and a large pencil box. The only object James thought was odd was the two medium sized bright red and yellow boxes that where the last thing to leave his enemies trunk. They where turned so the only thing he could read on the side was '45 pack'

Curiosity getting the better of him he asked what the boxes were. Severus glanced at them before picking them up and putting them next to his books and answering, "my sanity potions"

"But we aren't allowed to have potions," said James instantly.

"They aren't really a potion you idiot!" snapped Severus. "They are muggle beverages I like."

James frowned as he looked at the two little boxes. He had been in a few muggle stores and he had seen the boxes that canned muggle drinks came in, but the boxes Snape had where to small to fit more then half a dozen of the cans. Despite this it clearly said '45 pack' on it. "They are a little small aren't they?" asked James his curiosity once again winning.

Instead of answering Severus just opened one of the boxes and took out a very small little bottle and tossed it at James. James caught it before his brain even really registered that Snape had thrown it at him. However now that he had the little bottle in his hand he looked at it. 'Energy Shots grape flavor' Still a little confused he rolled the bottle in his hand and read the other side. 'Warning: drink only drink ½ a bottle at a time and never exceed more then 2 bottles in 1 day. Exceeding this will cause, nervousness, sleeplessness, rapid heartbeat, paranoia, jittery or twitchy behavior, and niacin flush, (hot feelings along with possible skin redness). Pregnant women and people with heart conditions should consult their doctor before consuming.'

James held the bottle away from himself and made an uneasy sound before saying, "Not gonna lie Snape, why the hell would you drink this?"

"Helps with my headaches, it also keeps me awake if I have to stay up and study. Its not like I plan on consuming ALL of these. This is also my supply for the school year as well," explained Severus as he started to walk around the room and inspect things that where placed around the room as well as the bathroom.

James tossed the little bottle back onto Snape's bed and went back to organizing his things as his roommate continued to explore their personal hell. By the time Severus was finished James had curled up on the bed reading one of his magazines. "We should set rules?" said Snape suddenly.

"Like?" asked James in a lazy voice not even looking up from his magazine.

Severus rolled his eyes and crossed his arms, "fact: we both hate this, but I think we should at least set ground rules to make this semi-tolerable."

"Again. Like?"

"Stay out each other stuff for one."

"I can do that"

"And no pranks"

"Boring"

"Damn it Potter"

"Fine whatever," groaned James. "Is this talk going to be much longer? I want to get back to pretending you don't exist."

"Good then we understand each other," sighed Severus as he grabbed a book and crawled onto his own bed.

"Fine, do that" said James wanting to get the last word in.

"I will."

"So will I!"

"You already said that," sighed Severus clearly growing bored of their 'conversation'.

James glared at the slytherin for a few moments before rolling over and grabbing the journal he had brought and started to write.

'Day 1 of my imprisonment

That bastard! '
