Next day, Sloxeer overslept. She had forgotten to bring her alarm with her, and at 11 she woke up. She pushed her blanket away, and got out of bed. Hm, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff were lucky, but she wouldn't let Gryffindor get away. She quickly changed, and after 2 minutes she finally arrived in her classroom. That's the disadvantage of a deserted room. She was just in time to catch Gryffindor.
"Homework for the next lesson. Study page 120/145 and do exercise 15, 17, 20, 25 and 37."
The mouth of some students fell open. A boy stepped forward. "That's impossible! Exercise 17 is an essay of 3000 words! And pages 120/145 don't even content one single picture! You can't do that!" He almost cried. Everything fell silence. All of them realized he had gone too far. Sloxeer thought about a good punishment. What a nice opportunity!
"Mr. Longbottom, I think you're getting me wrong. I can do everything I want to. I can give you an essay every day, I can send you into the lake to let you gather the leafs of a very poisoning plant, even though that has got nothing to do with DADA. I can command you to jump of the castle. I can do what I want, Mr. Longbottom. You are the student, and I am the teacher. And I want you to do those exercises, including the essay. And I want you, Mr. Longbottom, to present it tomorrow morning. And 10 points from Gryffindor for protesting. If you students were smart, you would have studied in the time when I was gone."
Sloxeer walked to her desk and sat down. The students walked away.
"She's just like Snape." Sloxeer could hear Mr. Potter say.
"No," Ms Granger said, while trying to console Longbottom. "She's worse."
Sloxeer inward smiled. After her lessons She went to the staff room for the first time. Some other teachers were in it already. She walked to the notice board and saw her name standing on it. 'Professor Snape, visit me in my office at 7. Dumbledore.'
Great, really great. Like she wasn't busy enough on her second day. Madame Hooch approached her.
"Hey Sloxeer, do you join a walk?"
Sloxeer squuezed her eyes. She remembered the 'walks' of Hooch. A few years ago Hooch asked her for a walk too. It appeared out to be a flying contest where Sloxeer was being slaughtered of course. "No, I've got a LOT more work to do. Bye." Sloxeer quickly walked back to her room. She searched for some good subjects to discuss in tomorrows lessons, and decided how to treat bites was good enough for those stupid kids. When she had got some bites of creepy monsters together, she noticed how late it was already. With big steps she walked out of her room, to the office of Dumbledore. When she arrived she noticed Severus was walking behind her. Suspiciously she turned to him. "Are you following me?" she asked. Severus looked confused.
"No, I defenitely haven't got any reason to do that, have I? Headmaster asked me to come."
He too? Was this some sort of joke? Sloxeer knocked on the door. Albus opened, and seemed pretty amused.
"You are both here, I see? Oh, that must be my fault, I forgot there are two Snape's working here now." he smiled. "Well, that's no problem. Actually, it comes in pretty handy! I want you two to pick up my packet on Gringotts."
Sloxeer winced hearing that. A charge with her brother. How awful. Severus didn't seem to like it either. If they were standing outside he probably would have spit on the ground. A bad habit, he had been doing that since he was little. Yak, what a disgusting time was that. She quickly changed thoughts.
"Can't you just send someone else? What's so big and important to keep me from doing my work?" Severus asked annoyed.
"You'll find out there, Severus. You'll find out there." With those words he shooed them out of his office. Severus gave Sloxeer a revolted look which meant 'Don't think I'm going to say one nice word to you.', a thing which Sloxeer neither would do. As they went to Gringrotts none of them said a word. Both stared at the opposite side of eachother, and acted like the breath the other was breathing out was poisoned. To their looks you could see they were family, but not to their attitude to eachother. Finally they arrived at Gringrotts. When a goblin asked what they wanted, Sloxeer opened her mouth to tell, but Severus was faster.
"I want you to bring me to safe 248."
The goblin snorted. "I want you to.... Always commanding like we're house elves! Impudent...." he muttered. "Key, please?"
Severus gave the key. After the ride both's hair was standing awful, but as they absolutely didn't care about their looks, they didn't even notice. The goblin led them to a huge safe. "Stand back," he said, and before Sloxeer and Severus could even stand back, he opened the door. A huge packet was standing in front of them. It was at least twice as high as Sloxeer, and the width was just as big.
"How will we EVER be able to bring this to Hogwarts?" Severus reproaching looked at the goblin; like he could help it. The goblin shrugged it's shoulders. "You're the wizard."
Severus dangerously glared at the goblin. Sloxeer thought about a very powerful spell to let it fly up. "Flyuppus Ultimatus!*"
Immediately the packet flew up some meters where it bumped into the ceiling, and fell back on the ground again. "Stupid. Now you've probably broken it." Severus suspiscously walked to the packet. Without any trouble he lifted it up with one hand. Sloxeer raised her eyebrow. Severus isn't that strong, so the only explanation was that it was just very light. What the heck was in the packet?
Because the packet was kinda high, but light, it was hard to keep balance. Sloxeer felt embarrased when they had to drag it on their way to Hogwarts in front of all of those wizards. It'd better be a very special thing inside! The packet fell several times. Not only on the ground, but on innocent people as well. It was a good thing it wasn't that heavy. Finally they arrived at the school grounds. Sloxeer looked at her watch. It was 11 O clock. Dumbledore was standing outside already, and came running to them.
"Thank you, thank you a lot! I'll take it over from here!" Cheerfully he wanted to walk away, but he was being stopped by the staring looks of Severus and Sloxeer. "Something wrong?" he asked friendly. Sloxeer was astonished by the stupidity of the man.
"Well, aren't you going to tell what's in the packet?" she asked annoyed.
"Oh, don't you know? Didn't you open it? Where's your curiosity?" he laughed. "Because nobody ever gives me any, I decided to buy a lot of them myselve. These are socks!"
Sloxeer was frozen of amazement. This gave her the time to let herself realize she had been giving up her time for dragging a packet with socks.... Her thoughts were being speaked up loudly by her brother. Sloxeer's amazement became anger. What was the man thinking?! She looked at him, and he was still smiling like nothing happened. That's where she exploded. "Giving me charges while I'm busy is one thing." she hissed trough her teeth, trembling all over her body. "Giving that charge with my not beloved brother-" she glared at Severus. "-is another. But doing this all with the point of picking up some SOCKS...."
She could just keep herself from cursing the man who was still standing there with that revolting smile on his face. Finally he moved. He bowed towards Sloxeer. "Socks ARE a very important angle of life, Sloxeer." he whispered. He smiled again like it was some wice advice. Afraid she would really curse him, Sloxeer angrily walked away. This was really awful.

*Sorry for that absolutely stupid name. I couldn't come up with something better. I was tired.
So, how did I do it? Is Albus maybe a little bit in character? Pleaseee review!
