- Professor Snape,

We've already found someone to design the card. Of course we haven't told them for who it was. We're currently brainstorming about a suitable text.

Harry and Ron.-

Sloxeer grabbed a piece of parchment and a feather.



It'd better be a very good card and a very good and convincing text. Your potions master won't fall for slime. And don't forget the chocolate must be looking, smelling and feeling good from the outside. If this will fail then my punishments will go above your imagination.



Sloxeer Snape.-

She bound it on the foot of the owl, and told him to go. If this was going to work, then think of the humiliation of Severus.... She was woken up from her thoughts by the thunder. When it started to rain Sloxeer closed the window. When the beautiful sound of the rain dawned to her, she felt a sudden urge to go out. She grabbed her cloak, and wrapped it around her. The cold rain on her face washed away the tensions from the past days. She looked up to see the lightning flash across the sky. She walked a little further, to the lake. A dark figure, standing there lonely in the darkness of the night. But it wasn't Sloxeer, it was Severus standing on the other side of the lake. Always ruining her mood. She spit on the ground -hell, she really had to unlearn that, it made her feel like she had something in common with her brother-, and walked back to the castle. She felt a bit thirsty and walked to the kitchen. Immediately 3 house-elves came running to her. "What do you please?" one asked, and bowed.

"Oh, get lost. Get some sleep." Sloxeer muttered, and shooed away the oh-so- happy-creatures. She drank some water and then returned to the Great Hall. It was awful to admit, but she was just as awake as the house-elves. Maybe a very boring book would help then. She went to the library and gathered some book with titles as 'The acknowledge of the roots of a plant' and '495107 ways to make your speech sound intellectual'. But after page 3 (the page with the copyrights) she remembered why she hated reading so much, and she threw the book to the bookcase. Maybe she could annoy Severus. No, why would she spoil her precious time to him. She picked up the book and grinned. Yes, Severus had a lot more secrets only she knew about. Strange nobody ever noticed his dyslexia. Except for Dumbledore of course, but that guy knew everything. "Dyslexia is a very serious problem, but Severus seems to have his own solutions, like he always has." he had said. His own solutions. Right. Letting essays grade by magic, he meant. Not using the book, just doing things he could remember. Clever, but not very reliable. That's why it's so odd nobody ever found out about it. She sighed, and walked back to her room. Feeling tired, but not being able to sleep. Terrible. She stayed restless and saw how the night became morning. When her watch told her it was 6 am she stood up from her bed and brushed her teeth. She yawned, and took a shower. She knew Severus did the same every morning. And he washes his hair. Not that it helpes. No, Sloxeer had made sure of that..

*- Flashback -*

"So, welcome to the playgroup," a woman with a crook, black hat said. Around her were sitting about 10 toddlers. They all were wearing black clothes, and weren't having those happy smiles we all know on their faces. Ten little, serious toddlers around that cranky lady.

"Like your parents might know this isn't just a stupid playgroup. I'll learn you the basics of the real magic."

"The black magic?" a boy with a grin on his face asked.

"Call it as you want, Lucius. You can use the wands from this playgroup, and return them every day when you leave."

*- Another Flashback -*

"What do you want to become?" the kindergarten teacher asked.

"World emperor," a toddler answered. "Terrorist," another said. "Teletubbie destructor." another.

"What about you, Severus?"

Severus kept silence, and some toddlers giggled. Sloxeer evilly grinned too. "He wants to be a teacher!!" she yelled hysterical, and then burst out in a laugh. The others did the same, except for the kindergarten teacher.

"Is that true?" she asked menacing. The little Severus bit on his lip, then nodded.

When the teacher was gone, Severus pulled his wand and pointed it at Sloxeer.

"Why did you had to tell them that?" he shouted.

Sloxeer looked up and pulled her wand too. "Because, it's the truth! And I like to humiliate you.." she added coldhearted. Severus started to shake, raised his wand and cast a spell. Sloxeer bounced to the wall, and she rubbed her head. She stood up, and ran to Severus. She yelled something unintelligible, but on the same moment the kindergarten teacher came back and yelled an anti-spell. But, Sloxeer's spell was very strong, and it hit Severus anyway. He flew trough the window and landed in a tree.

*- End Flashbacks -*

In the hospital they told them he had nothing serious sustained, except for the fact his hair would be greasy for the rest of his life....

With a sigh Sloxeer went to the Great Hall.

*~~~~~~~~~~*

I bet that was odd. I told you I'm odd! Okay, this wasn't supposed to be odd, it just became odd while I wrote it. I just had to explain Sev's greasy hair. And that mysterious joke Harry and Ron will do to Sev will become clear too…. But not yet! Actually it's a joke I've done to a teacher at my school too :D He wasn't very pleased.. Please review!!
