Someone knocked on the door to Snape's office, and he glared at the door, irritated from the disturbance. He didn't answer; hoping the git outside the door would take a hint and go away.
But the person outside the door just knocked once more.
Severus sighed: "Enter!" he said tiredly, not looking at the door. He heard someone open the door, as he was standing with his back to it, concentrating on the potion he was making. It was a rather complicated "Heart-healer", to cure broken hearts. Madam Pomfrey used quite a lot of it, on students, which seemed to crash in and out of their relationships leaving broken hearts all over the castle.
The last one Snape knew about was young Draco Malfoy, who secretly had cried his eyes out because Miss Granger turned him down. How anyone could fall in love in that "know-it-all" was far beyond Severus' understanding, but nevertheless, Madam Pomfrey had nearly run out on "Heart-healer" after that incidence.
"Sir?" a small voice interrupted his train of thoughts. He had almost forgotten that someone had knocked on his door.
"Yes?" Severus turned, and faced little Jacob Svaart from Hufflepuff…
Snape was puzzled; it was rather rare that first years voluntarily came to the Potions Masters office.
"Yes, Mister Svaart?" Snape said, arching an eyebrow, "Have you got yourself into trouble with any member of my house again?"
The little boy shook his head, "No sir, I'm fine. Nobody has bothered me since that incidence outside your classroom sir."
"Then why aren't you outside in the sun with the other members of your house?" Snape asked in a cold voice, he didn't want anyone to believe he was favouring the boy, just because he knew his mother.
The young Hufflepuff swallowed, but looked the teacher boldly in his eyes.
"You are going to see my mother tomorrow, aren't you?"
"Yes," Severus answered with an expression of amusement on his face. Do you have a problem with that?"
His black eyes could have given a Hippogriff a nervous hiccup, or at least start winking, but boy didn't wink; he laughed!
"No, of course i haven't trouble with that!" He paused and looked down on his feet, then sighed, as to give himself the courage he pretended to have.
"I was wondering," Jacob started, and lifted his head, "If I could ask you a favour, Professor?"
"A favour?" Severus was puzzled.
"Yes Sir," the boy answered, "It's my mothers birthday, could you bring my present to her?"
Now the Potions Master looked truly amazed. "Her birthday? Of course I can take your gift to her, but, -why don't you take it yourself?"
"I can't" Jacob said, "I'm not old enough to go to Hogsmeade on my own, remember?" He sighed and continued. "Professor Sprout is rather strict on that, she wont let me visit my mother on my own, and she doesn't have the time to follow me."
"You can come with me!" the word blurted out of Snape's mouth before he could stop them.
{What am I saying?} He asked himself {that means I have to be friendly to a small Hufflepuff the whole Sunday!}
Looking at the happy face on Jacob, he knew he couldn't take it back either….
"We're leaving after lunch, don't make me wait for you!" the professor groaned. "Now GET OUT!"
The boy fled out with a happy smile on his face.
{Birthday, hm?} He mused,{He'd better get her a present then?}
He knew exactly the right one; he just had to go and talk to Hagrid….

A/n: Well, guess what he is giving her….10 points to your house if you do…
