It had not been a good day for one Severus Snape. First off he was woken this morning by Voldemort calling him for a deatheaters meeting.

He hadn't gotten there soon enough so Voldemort decided to subject him to the crutiatous for a while.

Then when he was finally allowed to leave he had to report to the headmaster to let him know what was going on. After declining about 50 different sweets Albus finally let him speak.

When he finished with that he went to see if the fool he had been to see a week ago had gotten a snake in yet.

"Well? Do you have any snakes or is there another reason you continue to waste my time?"

"I am actually going to get one this afternoon. Come back here at 4:00 and I'll have your snake for you."

"Finally. And remember, I want it poisonous!" With that said Snape stalked off.

Trying to think of something to do to kill time he slowly made his way back to Hogwarts to get the last of the potions ingredients he would need over the summer.

While walking up the stairs he happened to run into the Headmaster.

"Ah, Severus there you are my boy."

"Hello Headmaster."

"Really, Severus. How many times must I remind you to call me Albus?"

"My apologies, Albus."

"Quiet alright, quiet alright. Now then, are you sure you want to go back to Spinners End for you summer break? You are quiet welcome to stay here."

"I'm certain Albus. I need a break from this place for a while. Now If you'll excuse me, really must finish boxing the last of my potions ingredients for the summer."

Without waiting for a response Snape stalked off.

---

Finishing up sending the last box of potions to Spinners End Snape looked at the clock and noticed that it was already 3:45. That gave him just enough time to get to the shop by 4:00.

Walking into the shop he noted that the shop keeper wasn't there just yet.

He waited for another ten minutes before deciding to just come back another day, when the shop keeper finally appeared from the back.

"Well, did you get me a snake?!" He snapped irritably.

"Yes sir. I'm not sure what breed it is but they said it was poisonous." The shop keeper answered, setting the box he was carrying onto the counter.

"Fine. Here is what I owe you. Now get out of my sight." Snape said, shoving the money he had promised at him.

The shopkeeper scurried away and Snape picked up the box.

He felt the snake shifting a bit and figured he was probably fairly uncomfortable in the box.

I the calmest voice he could muster at the moment he said "Don't worry now. We'll be home soon."

After a few minutes the movement stopped and he figured that the snake had probably fallen asleep.

---

He was walking towards the train station that would take him to Spinners End when he ran into, quite literally, the Weasley twins.

"Oh, we're sorry…

"Our fault entirely...

"Oh! Professor Snape!" the twins said quickly with their crossed speech.

"Get off me you idiots!" He snapped.

"Yes, yes…"

"Quite sorry." They both muttered while quickly scrambling to get up.

Snape climbed to his feet and checked over the box to make sure it hadn't gotten damaged when those idiot Weasleys had fallen on him.

"What is in…"

"That box Professor?"

"That's none of your business. Don't you two have somewhere to be? Like stopping the disaster you call a shop from exploding.

"Well sorry"

"You didn't have to be so rude about it." Gred and Forge say before walking off huffily.

Snape sighed in frustration then continued towards the train station.

Just before he got onto he felt the snake start shuffling around in the box. At one point it suddenly jolted and almost caused him to drop the box.

"Would you stop moving! You'll make me drop the box you irritating snake!" he snapped. Not really meaning it, but still frustrated about being bowled over by the Weasley twins.

He felt the snake fall still again and smirked to himself.

He boarded the train and sat back with the box tucked firmly under the seat, and decided to rest his eyes for a short while on the long trip back to Spinners End.

Hope you all liked it. Love to hear from you.

Not much to say tonight so i shall leave it at that. :)
