Once all the pupils had left on the Hogwarts express, Harry headed to the Headmasters office to ask when he will be leaving, where will he be going and who will he be staying with. As he turned the corner he saw something which to be perfectly honest he never thought he would see. There was his professor, wearing clothes which he didn't normally wear; he could only describe them as normal. There was no black robe but only a simple black coat and black trousers. Another thing he thought he would never see his professor do was swear at a gargoyle.
"For goodness sake you fucking gargoyle, you know who I am! It's Severus Snape, I'm a teacher here!!"
Harry wasn't quite sure what to do, he needed to go and see Dumbledore but Snape was standing at the entrance swearing at the gargoyle, obviously he had forgotten the password. So he decided to take the risk, since the holidays had begun there was no risk of loosing points. He had hardly moved when Snape turned around, his angry face suddenly changed back into his "I have no emotions" face and was glaring at him.
"Mr. Potter, did you think you were too good to catch the train with the other pupils?" snarled Snape.
"Ermmm…No professor, Professor Dumbledore said he would arrange for me to stay somewhere."
"Well you better say the password so can get in or have you forgotten the password?"
Knowing it was best not to say anything else; he said the password "Acid Pops." He could hear Snape muttering to himself but decided to stay safe and keep his comment to himself.
Once they entered the headmasters' office, Dumbledore told them kindly to sit down and asked if they wanted a sherbet lemon, they both declined this lovely offer.
