(7th year, after Lily renounces Sevvy's friendship.)
Infuriated
Snape did not intend to make trouble for himself—he never meant to open Mulciber's trunk by accident. They had got shoved around, somehow, and so Mulciber's was in Snape's place, and vice versa.
The photograph, dated the day before, sat on top of everything else, in a place of prominent honor. The figure in the picture had been walking into the common room eating a handful of chocolate frogs when all of his friends in Slytherin jumped from behind the and scared the heck out of him. Bearing a cake and candles and all the rest of the junk that accompanied someone's surprise birthday party.
Two times this year.
Two times.
Not just that once last April. That might have been forgettable, if it had only been then. Johannes had seemed like a good friend to Snape, and they had many deep conversations, so it was reasonable that the bookish 7th year should feel rather slighted when Johannes did not include the other in his birthday celebrations. Which, incidentally, included all the rest of the Slytherin 7th years, plus a few Ravenclaws. It was angering back then, but Snape had, however, decided that it probably had been a one-sided friendship anyways, and had reconciled with himself over the time since. He nearly had come to like Johannes again by this time, after many months. But that was spoiled by the same thing happening again here all the way in November . . .
Snape, seething, glared at the photograph of Avery Mulciber and his entourage. He didn't see why he no longer got invited to their measly little birthday parties. It just was not fair, that they should be the only people who allowed him to hang about them, yet, when it came to extracurricular fun . . . he was not included.
(This is entirely a true story. Only it happened to me. Dammit.)
