2:15 p.m., Tuesday,
In front of the fruit bowl painting…
Severus reached up standing on tiptoes to tickle the pear. The painting swung forward to reveal the doorway to the kitchens. The two boys crept through the doorway and were nearly bowled over by Dobby the house elf. "Harry Potter has come to see Dobby once again!" Dobby squealed happily, hugging Harry tightly.
"Hey, Dobby..." Harry managed to gasp out. Severus glanced at Harry and Dobby before explaining to the gathering crowd of house elves why they were there. The house elves quickly brought forth several platters of various dishes and a container of pumpkin juice. The two boys sat down in front of the fire and began to eat. Harry couldn't resist some of the sweets and began to eat them, earning himself a glare from the other boy.
Harry grinned to Severus while he stole an éclair from one of the platters in front of the boy. "Hey! That was mine…" Severus tried to snatch the éclair back, but Harry stuffed it into his mouth. For the rest of the lunchtime Severus sulked while eating the rest of his food, making sure to keep it out of Harry's reach. Once they had finished, they bid the elves farewell and left.
"Do you have any other classes today?"
"No. I have Care of Magical Creatures and Herbology tomorrow, though."
"Oh no…"
Harry could hear the dread in Severus' voice. He had an idea what it might be for. "What is it? You don't like Hagrid or something?"
"No. I just don't like his idea of 'cuddly creatures." Snape retorted. Harry had to agree. Hagrid's previous pets had included a gigantic three-headed dog named Fluffy, a Norwegian Ridgeback Dragon named Norbert, and several creatures he had bred himself called blast-ended skrewts. Tomorrow would definitely be an interesting day with Severus. Harry had to suppress a snicker.
6:00 p.m., Tuesday,
Severus' Room,
Harry sat on the edge of the bed, watching the other boy emerge from the bathroom dressed in his newly resized night robe. "Wow, so you really do take baths?" He couldn't stop himself. Severus gave him a death glare. "Of course I do." Harry shrunk back. "Sorry, it's just your hair." Severus frowned. "I put oil in my hair. There's nothing wrong with that." Harry moved over as Severus crawled past him to the other side of the bed. "Well, it just makes your hair look really greasy and unwashed." Severus began muttering. "What do you expect me to do about it? It's not like I'm gonna stop just to please every little student!" Harry glared at him. "Well sorry, I was just making a suggestion." Severus gave him a dark look. "Keep your suggestions to yourself." And with that, he turned to face the wall and ignored the other boy as he fell into a light sleep.
3:00 a.m., Wednesday,
Severus' Room,
"AAAAAAAAARGGHHH!"
*THUMP*
Harry's eyes shot open and he sat up, searching for his glasses, finally managing to find them and place them on his face. Severus was on the floor with half of the blankets.
"You kicked me!"
"Sorry! I didn't know, honest!"
Severus managed to climb back into the bed and eventually fell asleep again.
10:00 a.m., Wednesday,
Hogwarts Grounds - Care of Magical Creatures Class,
Harry and Snape sat near Hagrid's hut as he lugged out a gigantic crate. Severus glared at the crate as Hagrid practically threw it down.
"Ev'ryone, gather 'round now! Got a real treat f'r ya!"
"Somehow, I doubt it." Snape muttered. Harry elbowed him in the ribs.
"Ow!"
"Shhhh!"
Hagrid didn't seem to hear Snape's comment. He simply beamed at the entire class.
"T'day we'll work with firecrabs!"
Snape fainted.
11:30 a.m., Wednesday,
The Hospital Wing,
"Are you okay?"
"Of course, would you give me room?!"
"Sorry.." Harry backed away and sat down. He must've been wondering when Snape would ever wake up.
"Good god, is that damnable class over?"
Harry nodded.
"That oaf…"
Harry glared, "He's not an oaf.."
"Fine, he's not an oaf, but he allows his students to work with firecrabs. Yes, very bright fellow indeed."
Harry huffed.
Madam Pomfrey bustled over. "I have some good news and some bad news for you both."
The two boys looked up anxiously at the nurse.
"Well? Spit it out now.."
"Well….it's…"
(It's TBC. ^.^;; To everyone who left reviews, thanks! I really appreciate reviews and ideas. Yes, there will be some George and Fred Weasley and if this seems a bit too slash-ish, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean for it to come out that way, but there was no other way and that funny scene just kept popping up in my head! Yes I'm odd, and yes, I have something fun planned out for the Potions class…but I still need to reword the next chapter. -Emmy)
