Order of Dumbledore
Chapter 01 - Professor Severus Snape's 10 Rules

I doubt anyone took this idea, but I'll be writing the other professor's classroom rules shortly so don't *please* take my idea.. I doubt anyone would though ;) All characters belong to Ms. JK Rowling, not me.

"Class! Settle down!" Professor Severus Snape took out a roll of parchment that he had been saving for a very long time. His eyes darted across the class checking for empty seats. The Slytherins and Gryffindors sat with their hands folded on their desk, as if golden halos would immediatly shine. "I have decided to make a new set of classroom rules since the old ones were becoming less effective. Take note on these changes. Anyone found guilty of disobeying the rules will be given a detention. With that said, the Professor continued to announce the new rules.

"10.Slytherin prevails over all the other houses, that means Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and *cough* Gryffindor." Cheers were heard from the house of Slytherin, and groans were heard from the Gryffindors, it was already unfair that Severus was the head of Slytherin.

"9.No flirting with members of the opposite sex during my class time. That includes you, Potter! I don't know whether or not the other teachers let you slack because of your... condition, but in this class you will not slack." The whole of Slytherin erupted in laughter, and Harry sunk back in his chair with a gleaming red on his cheeks. "I don't know whether or not the rules apply to you because of your... condition in other classes, but they do here!"

"8.No bringing library books inside the room without my permission, which means that if these rules are to go into play now, Ms. Granger here would find herself in deep trouble." Hermione looked to the side of her desk to find her books were a pile high. "Only Potions books will be allowed inside the classroom, or books that I have approved."

"7.No associating with other students during this hour. Right Mr. Weasley? It's a shame that you waste half of my time talking with Mr. Potter, and Ms. Granger." Ron put his head on the desk, the Professor was obviously making it hard for them as an act of revenge upon beating the Slytherin house the year before.

"6.No flirting with other students of the same and opposite gender." His eyes darted toward Crabbe and Goyle who shifted uneasily. The rest of the class giggled.

"5.No passing notes in this class. So I suggest that Mr. Malfoy and Ms. Parkinson use some other way to communicate.. outside my classrom on your own time." Draco blushed, and glared at the Potions teacher.

"4.No skipping my class, which Mr. Thomas and Mr. Finnigan that you may not use the excuse 'Filch caught me in the halls' without an authorization note to excuse yourself legitimately." Dean and Seamus rolled their eyes and pondered of how to skip his class.

"3.No bringing home items into my classroom. If you do, they will be confiscated by me." Neville nervously hid his remembrall in his robe's pockets, hoping to remember that he placed them there.

"2.No picking fights between Gryffindor and Slytherin. If you are found in a fight between these houses, you will be sent to the Headmaster's office, and could possibly be expelled or suspended depending on the damage." Draco and Harry glanced at each other, scowling.

"1.I am always right." He rolled up the parchment, and dismissed them. The students were too afraid of being caught, so they were scared out of their wits to do anything that was against the rules, or the Professor would consider inappropriate. They filed out one by one, and the Potions Master had a twinkle in his eye, which hadn't occured since Draco Malfoy had come into his classroom for the first time. 'Maybe this order of Albus isn't so bad as I thought.' Severus thought to himself.
