Ron stood up in the middle of Herbology class. He glared at his professor.

"What are you doing, Weasley?" Snape exclaimed. Ron looked him right in the eye.

"I have a question for you to answer," he blared. The entire class waited in apprehension. "Professor, it has actally become a bit of a concern.. but... is that a bus parked on your face or is that your nose? Bloody hell, when you stop to smell the flowers, do you scare them?" Ron remained standing. The class remained silent.

Hermione quietly yet hurriedly took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on. Her and Harry stood up suddenly.

"Ohhh buurn!" Harry shouted. "You better put that thing away before we hurt its feelings!" The three continued to harass Snape in that class.

When class was dismissed, all the students exited the classroom as if nothing had happened. Severus Snape remained standing at the head of the classroom. A tear slid down his cheek.

"Stay strong," he whispered to himself. "Always stay strong for Lily."
