Ron, Hermione, and I left the castle together to walk down to the greenhouse for Herbology. As they neared the greenhouses they saw the rest of the class standing outside, waiting for Professor Sprout. Harry, Ron, and Hermione had only just joined them when she came striding into view across the lawn, accompanied by Gilderoy Lockhart. It wasn't to long after this that he started gloating about how he was showing Professor Sprout the right way to doctor a Whomping Willow.
Ron and I both flinched at the mere thought of the incident. I guess Professor Sprout noticed and she told Professor Lockhart that was enough and told him that his service was no longer needed and that he should go. Professor Lockhart smile and left the greenhouse.
At that note Professor Sprout began the lesson by saying, "Greenhouse three today, chaps!"
Professor Sprout was standing behind a trestle bench in the center of the greenhouse. About twenty pairs of different-colored ear muffs were lying on the bench. When Harry had taken his place between Ron and Hermione, she said, "We'll be repotting mandrakes today. Now, who can tell me the properties of the Mandrake?"
To nobody's suprise Hermione answered the question exactly by the words that were in the text gaining five points for Gryffindor much to the Slytherin's dismay.
My the end of class Neville had fainted twice from the Mandrake's cry and Hermione had gained Gryffindor a solid 15 points.
After Herbology Ron, Hermione and I was trying to make our way back up to the castle when some first year approached me asking for a signed autograph. By the time he had the camera ready, none other than Malfoy and his cronies walked by and he goes, "Well Potter now are we giving out signed autographs? My how I would like five just so I can burn them right in your face and hopefully that would get my point across that no one cares about you, The Boy Who Will Soon Die..."
That was it I threw my books down and dodged at him grabbing my wand and yelled, "Confundo!!!!"
At that precise moment Snape had just entered the courtyard and directly after I had cursed Malfoy, Snape grabbed my shoulder and said in the most stern voice I had ever heard, "You get to my office right now young man!!!"
I just looked at him and said, "But..."
At this his reply was, "Harry James Potter, the only butt you should be worrying about is your own so I would suggest you go now unless you wish me to deal with your punishment right here and now in front of everyone. Now march!!!!!!"
"Yes, sir."
I began walking to the dungeons thinking oh my how much trouble am I going to be in???
About twenty minutes later Severus showed up and configured a straight back and chair and he commanded, "Come here Harry."
I figured I better comply considering how much trouble I was in.
I was right next to him when he jerked my pants now and began spanking. Smack after smack I didn't believe it was ever going to end. After the tenth smack the dam was broke and I was begging him to stop but he wouldn't. Then I heard him say, "Accio belt."
At this point I jerked out of his arms and stood there and said, "No you are not going to use that, that is where I draw the line, you can spank me with your hand but that is it completely."
"Oh really, I was under the impression that I was the guardian and you are going to do what I say and just for that little outburst this will be on the bare and I assure you it will be much worse than my hand."
"NO!!!"
At that point he came over to me and grabbed me by the arm and took me over to the couch bent me over the arm of it and began letting the belt come in contact with my flesh.
Finally he began to lecture which meant it was almost over.
"HARRY JAMES POTTER THIS IS THE FINAL STRAW YOU ARE NOW LIVING IN MY CHAMBERS UNTIL I BELIEVE YOU ARE MATURE ENOUGH TO MOVE BACK TO THE TOWER ON YOUR OWN. AS OF TODAY YOU CAN CONSIDER YOURSELF GROUNDED NO QUIDDITCH NO FRIENDS NO NOTHING EXCEPT CLASS. YOU WILL EAT HERE, SLEEP HERE, AND EVERYTHING HERE WHERE I CAN KEEP AN EYE ON YOU. NEVER IN MY LIFE WILL I ALLOW TO HEX ANOTHER STUDENT, IS THAT UNDERSTOOD???"
Punctuating ever word with the whistle of the belt. Gosh how would I tell my friends I wasn't allowed to see them except for class in which their was no doubt in my mind that Severus would make me sit on the opposite side of the room.
So maybe then I would stay out of trouble, but yeah right trouble finds me ALWAYS...
