Chapter 3
Getting Acquainted
Snape opened his weary eyes and found himself laying in a tattered bed in the dungeons. Someone was sitting at the side of his bed, staring at him with giant anime eyes. It was one of the witches that was dancing last night. She had wavy brown hair, beautiful blue eyes, and a softly rounded face. She was looking at him curiously.
Snape sat up, and his hair fell in front of his face…only it didn't feel quite so oily as it usually did. He grabbed some of his hair and felt it. It was still black, but didn't have that nasty greasy feel to it anymore.
"I washed it last night for you," said the woman, standing up. "Why don't you get up and join us in the Great Hall? Oh, I'm sorry." She extended her hand. "My name's Professor Nancy Renagua. I'm Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher." Snape shook her hand nervously.
"I think you better get dressed." Nancy pointed to the closet. "I'm sorry if our robes don't suit you, but it's all we had at the moments notice." She smiled warmly. Snape felt a chill up his spine, and rubbed his neck. Nancy was almost out the door when Snape piped up. "Um, what was with the dancing last night?"
"Oh!" she said, and turned around. "We have a dance every week." Then Nancy walked out of the room.
Snape shook his head, got up, walked to his closet, opened it and his jaw dropped.
Inside his closet were the most beautiful Slytherin-based robes he had seen in his entire life. Green and silver, black and silver, black and green…and they were made of the finest silk from China. The robes were brilliantly crafted, and the design was phenomenal. Snape also saw a red and gold dress robe with a high collar, a yellow and black robe with a scruffy neck, and a blue and bronze robe. There was also snakeskin ones similar to the ones he had seen the other night. There were just solid color robes as well. Snape chose solid black silk robes and slipped them on. He brushed his teeth quickly and headed to the Great Hall, where everyone already was, including Smith.
"Snapey-wapey!" shouted Smith, ready to give him a hug. Snape dodged him quickly and took his seat next to Nancy.
"Hello," said Snape awkwardly. He choked back the strange urge to kiss her. To distract himself, he began studying his kiwi.
"Um…did I just eat a piece of kiwi?" Nancy asked Snape and Smith.
"Yeah, reckon so," said Smith. "Why?"
"Um, guys…" said Nancy, starting to turn green. "Uh…I'm allergic to kiwi."
"Blast!" shouted Smith and shot out of his seat like a bullet. Snape followed suite.
"We need Madam Pomfrey, stat!" shouted Snape. All the teachers stared at him.
"What?" asked Snape.
"Um…who's Madam Pomfrey?" asked a woman professor that Snape didn't know.
Oh, yes, Snape thought to himself. Pomfrey would be dead by now.
"Um, OK, we need the Hospital Wing person!" shouted Snape.
