Title: Snape's Revenge
Rating: K
Summary: Voldemort makes Snape Headmaster but when Voldemort tells him who will be Muggle Studies Professor and Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor Snape has his own ideas on who would be perfect for the positions. Guess who comes to Hogwarts?
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Harry Potter characters, they all belong to J.K Rowling, but I do like to play with them.

Chapter 21: Pus
When Severus got back home he once again noticed that he had a pile of mail. A thought popped into his mind about getting a Wizarding box but he figured that the pile would get even larger and he didn't really feel like seeing Miss Granger anytime soon. So he settled down and started on the letters. The first couple were all about how much they liked what kind of job he was doing and asking him if he could come and talk with some local artists.
Severus knew that this would be the kind of stuff that would make up for all those galleries that refused to be nice and talk with him. He liked talking to local artists as they weren't polluted by other people. He wrote down their names and were they lived, promising to talk with them when he had the time. The next one was from Luna Lovegood, talking about a series of paintings that she was doing and if he would see them.
"Oh great I'm going to have a conversation for more then three minutes with Loony Lovegood," Severus muttered, "That's just what I need."
However he put her down…at the very bottom of the list.
He finished reading his mail and then went to feed the cats. Koko and Yum Yum made it clear that they were first and mail was last. He shook his head and went into the bedroom to change for bed and turn the radio on.
"Tonight lets talk about why the world is going to hell," said the announcer, which made Severus eyes roll. "The end is coming and it's coming on December 21st, 2012. We must all be prepared that our world will cease to be."
"And I'm going to laugh when it doesn't happen," Severus told the radio and turned it off.
He then turned over and went to sleep.
The next morning was Severus day off, which he was glad about, and so he decided to spend the time with his cats and a good book. He fed them and then settled in to read a good book. As he read an owl came in and dropped a letter. He at once bookmarked his place and took the letter. Cutting it open he hissed in pain as Bubotuber Pus hit his skin. The letter fell open and through the pain he read:
Snape,
Leave this alone or pus will be the least of your problems.
"Oh great," Severus muttered and then left.
He went to St. Mungo and a Healer led him into a room where she gave him something for his hands. As he waited for the effects to take hold he thought about what the letter had said. He knew that he had gotten someone's attention but really, pus, that was a bit childish. Of course it could have been a knife or a bullet so he was counting himself lucky. When the Healer returned she wrapped his hands up and told him that he couldn't write anything for a week.
"But I need to do my job, the Ministry orders me to do this."
"Well then get someone to help you," the Healer said, "But don't be writing or reading."
"How am I supposed to read?" Severus asked him.
The Healer rolled her eyes. "Try something; I'm sure that you'll be able to do it."
"Books on tape," Harry told Severus when he came to visit an hour after Severus had left St. Mungo.
He put a tape player on the table and put a tape in.
"And how is this supposed to help me read?" Severus asked him.
"Because someone does it for you," Harry told him, "Dudley had one and I got hooked on it."
Severus groaned, "Are you telling me that these things are for people that are too lazy to actually read a book."
"No, they're for people that either can't read or don't have the time," Harry told him. "And since you can't read due to a prank that reminds me of what happened to Hermione then you need it. Enjoy."
And Harry was gone.
"Blasted Potter," Severus hissed, pressing the button. "Like I need any help in reading."
He leaned back in his bed and listened.
A/N: Sorry about the short chapter but my family and I have tons to do. I personally will make it up when I update next time. Thanks everyone that reviewed, you keep my heart glad. Next up: Severus visits Harry and Ginny and gets another clue.
