This story pretended to be a writing exercise, but I guess I got a little bit carried away and stopped following the guidelines. Everything you can't find in the Harry Potter books is mine. Don't try to steal it. But I'm doubting you will.
*~*~* - Tensions Between The Family - *~*~*
Sloxeer went in the dinner room. On the dining table were standing eggs, bread, milk and cornflakes. Sloxeer sat down, and watched all the food. She wasn't hungry at all. She yawned, stood up again and half asleep walked back to her room. There she grabbed a trunk from under her bed. She blew the dust away, and put it down on her bed. She opened her wardrobe, put some clothes in her trunk, without looking, and then went to the bathroom. She packed in her toothbrush, tooth paste, and considered that was enough. Combing her hair was for no use. With a great many space left she closed the trunk, and brought it downstairs. She drank some coffee to become a little more awake, and then she appeared on platform 9. As she walked to the train she could hear the disgusting excited whispering of the first years. She stepped into the train, and searched for a compartment that suited her. There she plumped down her suitcase, and sat down. Here in the very back of the train those awful
students probably wouldn't insult her. With an embittered look she stared out of the window. They'd better be on Hogwarts quick. Suddenly Sloxeer's thoughts were being disturbed by the noises coming from the compartment next to her. She stood up, and opened the door between the two. A red-hared boy and a girl were discussing loudly about where to put their pets. Another boy tried to hush up the fight. They didn't even notice that Sloxeer had entered.
"May I ask you," Sloxeer said with a voice as a serpent. All of the three looked up. "What's so important that it gives you the right to disturb me?" Only the hooting of the owl in the hands of the boy could be heard. The read haired boy swallowed, but the girl stepped forward. "I was just telling Ron that he shouldn't put his owl under his robe. It's bad for the robe, and thinking of the owl's health...."
"Maybe you should try putting the robe over your head, or in your mouth. If I hear any more noises I'll make sure there will be points deducted."
With a smack she closed the door, and sat down again. She still could hear the strangled voices, but didn't listen to them. Finally a voice told her they were almost at Hogwarts. She impatiently waited before the door, and was the first out when the doors opened. She knew exactly where to go, and soon she stood before the beautiful building of Hogwarts. Even Sloxeer had to admit it was a rather impressing castle. She wanted to be inside before the students came, so she accelerated her steps. In the Great Hall she saw some professors sauntering around, and Sloxeer wondered why they weren't doing something useful. With her eyes she searched for Albus Dumbledore, and found him at the dinner table talking cheerful with a professor, which she remembered as McGonagall. With growing steps she walked to the table.
"Ah, Sloxeer! Welcome to Hogwarts! I hope you've had a good travel?"
"Not really." With squeezed eyes she observed McGonagall. "Where's my room?"
"Oh, I guess Minerva will lead you to it, if that's okay with you?" Dumbledore looked to Minerva. She only nodded. 'The arrogant bitch,' Sloxeer thought to herself. 'Probably thinking she's to good to play piccolo for people like me.'
With a sigh Minerva stood up, told Sloxeer to follow her and walked to a far part of the castle.
"Here it is. Deserted, like you wanted." Minerva said, with an -I don't know what's wrong with you-face. Sloxeer gave her an odd look, entered the room and closed the door behind. The room was white, a color Sloxeer absolutely hated. She pulled her wand, and changed the white walls into black ones. 'Much better,' she thought. Glad there wasn't much interior; a bed, a wardrobe, a desk and a chair. She unpacked her few things, and then found her way back to the Great Hall. Some students had arrived already, and Sloxeer felt the staring looks. Without mentioning it she walked to the teachers table and sat down. She saw how the Hall filled, and how finally the first years entered. Another person entered too. It was a pale man, with black hair. When he walked to the table they gave each other a hatred look. When the man sat down, the sorting ceremony began. The children were sorted into the different houses, and when they were finished, Dumbledore stood up.
"First, I want to give you all a great welcome on Hogwarts! A new year, with new chances, new opportunities, new students and new teachers. Will you all welcome our new professor Defends Against Dark Arts: Professor Sloxeer Snape!"
At first a silence fell, but then the whispering of students filled the hall. Sloxeer wasn't the kind of person to stand up and hold a speech, so she just stared back, giving the students menacing looks. Dumbledore grabbed attention again. "Before we'll start to eat this delicious meal I first want to say one more thing. Well, I guess Professor Snape will reveal that to you herself. Sloxeer?" Dumbledore looked to Sloxeer. 'Great,' she thought. She stood up and lifted her chin to observe the looks on the children's faces. She noticed most of the students tried to avoid her look.
"In preparation to the upcoming lessons," she started with a voice as ice. Everything was really silence now. "I want all fifth years to gather on the school grounds before the castle at 9 O clock. If you're late, or won't appear, you'll be very, very sorry." Sloxeer sat down, and saw some students looking into the direction of fifth years.
"Now, let's eat!" Dumbledore broke the silence. The meals appeared and everybody started to eat. Professor Vector tried to start a conversation with Sloxeer, but she didn't answer. Professor Trelawney was only rambling about the pose of the stars, so Vector discouraged put some food in her mouth.
Sloxeer still wasn't very hungry. She ate one piece of magic stalkbean, and drank some water. Then she stood up.
"Where are you going?" Professor Vector asked.
"None of your business." Sloxeer answered. Vector lifted her eyebrow. While Sloxeer walked away she could hear the condemned muttering of Vector.
