Severus Snape could remember it. With a sigh of frustration, he recalled his deep hatred for this man's face and his "beautiful" and perfect smile. This man. The only one who, even being in Azkaban, won admirers. That Sirius! That Black!

But why he hated him? That was not precisely clear. It was an old time in the past. Every time he looked back, he could not help remembering. Moreover, in those walls, he remembered the incident

He was unhappy, but at least had exceeded worst periods of his life. Dressed in black, he prepared for his work, as usual. Educating students the art of potions. Nothing would go wrong! He was prepared as always!

He walked down the street of a Muggle city. He completed one of his missions and only wanted to return to Hogwarts to rest. He stopped near a shop, as he pulled out his wand and studied the apparition point to Hogwarts.

As he thought, Severus had not noticed that a dog stopped beside him. At the stop, one of the dog's leg raised slightly and began to make its needs on his shoes. God! Severus was standing near a hydrant!

The man felt something warm on his shoes and dropped view. A dog had done its business on his shoes! He was so angry, that he kicked the dog and the animal groaned. It began to limp, and whimper. It tried to bite Snape, but the man moved a leg, ready to kick him again, so the dog ran away.

After that, Severus returned to Hogwarts and even after having tried several times, he could not remove the "dirty thing" from his shoes. He started to walk and everyone noticed it! What a shame! All children, mocked him as the smell and Snape, walked in Hogwarts!

He will always hate that dog. It was his nightmare! All those children laughing, mocking him... mocking Professor Severus and his smell! The one who never take a bath and so it is greasy smelly!

Some time later, Severus was walking through the halls. It had been many days from his "accident." While walking, he heard a man, who was spoking with Dumbledore. He was rubbing his back and was very angry.

"And it still hurts!" The man complained "I don't know why he have done that!"

"Well, I'm sure it was an accident."

"I had not noticed that he was there!"

Severus looked to Albus and walked to the mysterious man. With a sigh, Sirius turned around and exclaimed "it's him". It was him!

"Damn, is him!"

"Who?" - Snape asked, eyebrows arched.

"HIM! . He was the one who kicked me!"

Severus mused and immediately remembered that awful time in his past. It was him, the dog had peed in his shoes! Both men looked each other with hate and Sirius groaned again.
