Severus' Diary

I just found this old, worn out thing in my desk drawer. I can't let a perfectly good diary go to waste.

(It cost bloody ten gallons, I can see it on the price tag)

September 2nd

7:00am

Miss Granger just ran past me with a terrified look on her face. Her hair looked unusually static and she seemed to be muttering about a cat. What strange, strange pupils we have.

7:15am

I Just took the first house point away of the year. The second day back, that is a new personal best for me. It was to a third year Hufflepuff who was eating with her hands. 1 point deducted.

7:17am

I went back and changed it to twenty points.

7:30am

I am sincerely grateful for McGonagall's presence between Albus and I at the dinner table. Things have been quite awkward for us lately. I would usually ignore it and carry on as normal, but things do change dramatically once you unsuccessfully try to kill someone.

8:00am

Just scrolling through this years timetable…

8:03am

Why is Neville Longbottom in my potions class?

8:05am

I specifically asked for him to be removed.

8:10am

Perhaps he will leave of his own accord once one of his potions explodes in his face.

New school year resolution: Make Longbottom's potion blow up in his face so that he will no longer feel the need to participate in my lesson.

8:25am

That was a joke. Haha, very funny of me.

Come to think of it, I shall write a list of all the things which I need to get done.

1) Stop Draco from being killed by Voldemort

2) Verbally abuse Potter

3) Mock Weasley

4) Heighten my current grade specifications and boundaries. (I gave away far too many A's last year)

5) Avoid the Yule Ball

6) If that is not possible, give at least ten detentions out at the Yule Ball

7) Strop drinking so much fire whisky. -Liver damage is a very serious thing.

8) Get some new cologne

9) Buy a new owl

10) Possibly kill Dumbledore, again.

I'll have to ask Voldemort about that last one.

4:00pm

I am sick of teaching retarded idiots already. Fair enough, today did consist of first and second year classes, but when it comes down to it, that really does make no difference at all. For example. Neville Longbottom.

4:25pm

Hmm, what is this?

4:30pm

Sick. It was sick. Someone had puked outside of my classroom.

5:00pm

It really is unfortunate that Albus no longer allows beatings. I would have handed the culprit over to Filch in an instant.

5:05pm

I have just been informed that the magic in the school is going haywire due to a student bringing an Mp3 player into the building.

5:10pm

It has been fixed. The Mp3 player was taken away. The student was listening to an unknown muggle band called 'Placebo'

5:12pm

I just looked them up. The singer's voice is horrendous!

6:00pm

For once, I would like to eat my dinner in peace without a thousand eyes in front of me.

6:01pm

I hate him so much

6:02pm

I was talking about Potter

6:03pm

I think he's tried to bleach his scar-

Oh, no, no. His hair was just in the way. It was silly of me, really. Thinking Potter had tried to get rid of the one thing that made him famous. Arrogant twat.

11:00pm

Well, that was a very good day. I hope you can hear the sarcasm dripping from my voice. I hate this place. I may resign tomorrow. Goodnight.

11;01pm

Jesus Christ I have that Placebo song in my head.

11:02pm

'I'm coming up on infared, there is no running that can hide you, cause I can see in the dark...'

11:05pm

Urgh. I think I may kill myself.

Thank you very much to everyone who has reviewed so far ! :)
