Author's Note: Yes, I know the only characters that actually appear in the books are Snape and Peeves. That was my
intention. Peeves is easy and Snape don't appear much.

Isabelle was in a bad mood. She had potions next and the only good thing about that,
messing with the recipes, got her in trouble. And now, to boot, Peeves was bugging her.

"Hey, can I sit on your head?"

"No, you MAY not."

"Can I jump on it?"

"No."

"Can I trip you?"

"No."

"I can? Great!" And Peeves pulled Isabelle's leg out from underneath her. Isabelle pushed
herself up and glowered and the hysterical Peeves.

"Oh, go hang out with that poltergeist who beats up people." And she swung a fist at him,
which he easily ducked.

"Hee, hee, missed me!" She swung her fists wildly at the air until she was exhausted.
Maybe if I ignore him he'll let up his guard, Isabelle thought. So she stood up and continued off
to class, whistling. Peeves was about to pounce when she swung around and made a grab at him.

"Ha, ha! Missed me! Missed me by a mile! Hey, you got my shoe!"

"Hey, I got your shoe. I got your shoe! I GOT YOUR SHOE-OOOOOO! I GOT YOUR
SHOE-OOOOO!" And she ran down the hall, waving Peeves shoe and slammed the potions door
in his face.

"You're late." Snape hissed.

"I know. Trouble with the poltergeist."

"Fifteen points from Ravenclaw."

"Thought so." Isabelle put the shoe where she could keep an eye on it and whispered to
her friend, Lizabeth "I got Peeves' shoe."


Later, Isabelle began to wonder what would happen if she put the shoe in the whatever-it-was potion they were making. She dipped the toe in and began to swirl it around, watching the
clouds that floated along on the stuff, and then sank. She dropped the rest in and watched it
dissolve. About then, the banging on the door got quit a bit louder and Snape went to open it.

"What do you--" Peeves nocked him to the side and started shaking Isabelle by the collar.

"Where is it? WHERE IS IT?" Isabelle pointed to the cauldron.

"NOOOOOOO! YOU PUT IT IN THE STEW!" He grabbed Snape by the collar and
shook him. "SHE PUT IT IN THE STEW!"

"What did you put in the stew?" Demanded Snape over Peeves' shoulder.

"Ummm...His shoe?"
