Alexandra Stone sat in the Restricted area of the Hogwarts library doing some late night reading when she felt the presence of the book down she looked up an to her left , there stood her Potions Master,Severus Snape. But something was wrong. He almost looked...scared? Was that the word she'd used? Yes scared an lost, those words seem to fit with the state he seemed to be in. Her shock grew as he fell to his knees an clanged on to her, his head rested on her lap as her hands flew in the air. She was more then confused now. Wait is he... no he can't be. But as she listen closer she found that he was. He was crying on her this can not be Severus Snape, the dreaded Potions Master an proud member of the ass hole club. How ever who ever it was seemed to need help an she'd give it.
"It's.. it's okay you can let it out. I hear it helps to cry sometimes. If you want to talk to me I assure you any thing you say will stay with me." Alexandra told him brushing his hair back as she gently rubbed his back trying to soothe him.
"It's too much. How much do they think i can take before i brake? I'm only a man damn them!" He cried holding tightly to her waists.
"Have you tried talking to them? Or is it pointless?"
"Pointless."
"Then talk to me, I'll listen to you. Or if it would help I could just sit here with you like this."
"Just hold me, please."
She did just that allowing him to cry as she held him an tried to ease his pain. Soon she found that he had cried himself to sleep, not wanting to wake him up at the moment she lifted her book up an began to read again. Soon she too fell asleep.
Very slowly Alexandra's eyes fluttered open an focused on the ceiling, good gods she was still in the whipped her head down an quickly realized that had been a bad idea as the muscles in her neck protested the sudden around she found she was alone, not really surprised the polyjuice potion most likely wore off some time during the night, if she had only stayed awaked she'd know who that really was an maybe what there real problem was. Looking at her watch she realized she was going to be late if she didn't get a move on it, with a snap of her fingers she was in her room. Very quickly she got ready for the day ahead.
Her day was not going good, she could barely keep her eyes open an when she did mange it her mind was trying to figure out why any one would come to her as now as she headed to her last class with her friends she was finding it harder to stay awake.
"I can't believe you were in the library all night." Harry Potter said as they walked down the stairs to Potions.
"Yeah an I though Hermione was boring, you've just toped her on the list Alex." Ron Weasley added.
"There's nothing wrong with reading Ron. But I can't believe you actually feel asleep." Hermione Granger commented.
"I did not plain on doing either, I just got into a really good book. " Alexandra yawned covering her mouth.
"Well at least we've keep you awake so far." Harry smiled opening the door for them.
"An I'm very grateful for that Harry." She smiled back as they went in an took there seats.
"Alex...Alex...Alexandra.!"
Her eyes slowly opened as Harry whispered her name an nudged her. She looked up at him, one minute she was taking notes an the next she's laying on them. O dear Merlin she'd fallen asleep, worst she fell asleep in Potions, in Professor Snapes class, she was as good as dead if he caught her.
"Please tell me I was not snoring Harry?" She whispered sitting up straight.
"No you were not Miss Stone." Came the deep an dangerous voice of Severus Snape from behind her. Slowly she turned to face him.
"I'm really sorry, Professor-" Was all she got out when he put up his hand an started walking back to his desk as he finished his speech on the drought of Death.
"How long was i out Harry?" She asked hiding her face in her hands.
"A minute he spotted you first an told me to quietly wake you. Sorry."
"No it was not your fault. I wonder when he'll take away points an give me a detention?"
"Alex I'm surprise he didn't make you look like a fool an belittle you. I think he might be sick or something." Harry shrugged.
"Hmmm." she nodded.
"You are so lucky." Hermione said as they left the class, Snape had yet to reprimand Alexandra for her actions.
"She didn't do it on purpose Hermione, she was tried." Harry said defending her.
"I bet he's just waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Attack your enemy when they lease expect it." Ron laughs as they headed down the hall.
"Okay. One Ron, He's a Professor not some curled up snake just waiting to bite. So he's not waiting to strike. Two. I am not his enemy. Three must you over react so much." Alexandra replied
"One Miss smart pant, tell me what do you get if you take the p out an put a k in Snape, uh?" ?Ron asked.
"Professor Snake." Harry laughed.
"Harry really must you encourage him?" Hermione questioned shaking her head in discuss.
"Two. That man is wrapped tighter then a binding spell, an if you're not one of his stupid darling Slytherin's, you're that greasy gits enemy. An that includes a hot little Gryffindor as yourself. An you know I never over react." Ron smiled.
"Ten points from Gryffindor an a detention Mr. Weasley for your blatant disrespect for a Professor!" Snape growled as they all turned to face him, there face's covered in fear as he glared at them all.
"Yes, Sir." Ron stammered.
Severus just growled walking past them.
"I'll see you guys at lunch ." Alexandra said running to catch up with Snape. "Professor Snape Sir please wait up."
"What is it Miss Stone that can't seem to wait?" He hissed whipping his head to face her when he stopped.
"Sir I'd like to apologies for fallen asleep in class, it had nothing to do with you Professor an i meant no disrespect by it sir. If you wish me to stay for detention or something I will do so Sir." She told him as she finally reached him.
"That won't be needed Miss Stone, I'm aware you are deeply sorry an i know that you did not intend to disrespect me. That is way i did not reprimand you nor do i plan on doing so. Now was that all Miss Stone?" Severus replied.
"Um, yes sir. Thank you i will do my best not to let it happen again. "She smiled heading off to join her friends.
"So what happen?" Hermione asked as they sat outside for there break.
"Nothing i explained myself an since i didn't mean any disrespect to him he said he'd let me slid." She said looking to Ron. "Really Ron, one thinks that by now you would know better then to insult professor Snape while in the halls."
"One would think Alex, but you forget are Ron doesn't think." Hermione smiled.
"Hey how was i to know he was behind us?" Ron pouted.
"Because he's always behind us." Harry laughed
"That shouldn't matter. He's a Teacher an deserves are respect." Hermione told them
"You're bloody mad." Ron laughed.
"She's not, if you could get over your childish ways you'd see Professor Snape for the pure genius he is." Alexandra growled.
"Wow chill out, gods this is Snape we're talking about here it's not like we're talking about McGonagall. " Ron commented surprised by her anger.
"An its not like we're the only ones who think Snape's a greasy git or worse." Harry pointed out
"So instead of being better then them or thinking for yourself you just follow them like sheep?" Alexandra questioned as her anger grew.
"Well no, but-" Harry started.
"But nothing Harry, how would two like to be called names?" Hermione asked the two boys.
"I wouldn't mind." Ron laughed.
"Right it didn't bother you when Draco called you poor or poked fun of your family?" Hermione asked.
"Well yah but-"
"She already said but nothing Ron. If i hear you two saying one more bad world about Professor Snape or any Professor I'll show you just what I've been reading in the restricted section. Catch my drift boys?" Alexandra said looking at them with a raised brow.
"Loud an clear. " Harry grinned.
"Bloody hell you look just like him when you do that! Don't ever do that again." Ron told her on horror.
"Don't make me." She smiled.
