A pointless chapter, but I just had to have Severus get revenge on Becky since she flirted with Alan in the last chapter.
So, Severus thought while he poked at his eggs, she thinks she can make me envious, eh? And have me make a fool out of myself by showing my jealousy in front of the whole staff? I can't believe the looks the staff gave me when I told them to stop chattering. Well, he thought, there are always opportunities for revenge. . .
Becky's day went fairly well until her Art class that she taught with Severus. The class took place after lunch, so she left early to set up supplies in the room. When she reached the art room, it turned out to be a mess. The floor was exceptionally dirty. Becky glanced at the closet that held all her muggle tools in it.
"This room could use a good muggle vacuuming," she thought as she walked over to her cabinet. She opened it and took out the Hoover vacuum. She transfigured a picture on the wall into an electric outlet. Becky knew that with a flick of her wand she could clean the place up, but she had plenty of time and felt like doing work for a change. She walked over to the outlet and plugged the vacuum in. When she was all set to clean, she pushed the button and it started up. She started to move it across the floor quickly as she realized what time it was. Severus would be down here any minute.
After lunch, Severus headed down to the art room. When he got closer, he heard the most annoying noise. It sounded like some sort of. . . monster. He quickened his pace and when he reached the door to the classroom, he stopped dead in his tracks as he saw Becky rolling the vacuum across the floor with her back to him. Severus could tell it was a muggle machine because of the outlet she had on the wall next to the door. He walked over to the outlet, and pulled the plug out quickly with a slight spark.
Becky was happily cleaning when it suddenly turned off. She thought she heard someone pull the plug out, so she turned around to find Severus walking toward her. She followed the wire of the vacuum to the plug witch was peacefully laying on the floor. She brought her gaze back up to Severus who had now walked past her and took a seat at the desk. He lifted his legs to rest on the top of the desk and leaned back in the chair, giving her a piercing look. Becky didn't want to put up with him, so she picked up the vacuum and walked into the office. Severus stood up quickly and walked over to the cord which was now slithering on the floor. Becky set the vacuum into its spot and started to pull on the cord while Severus watched the plug part get closer and closer to him. Becky didn't know that he was standing there on account of the wall of the office being in the way. When the plug got closer and closer to Severus he suddenly stomped his foot on the cord and it stopped moving. Inside the office, Becky tried to pull the wire again, but it didn't budge. She walked over to the door and looked out to see Severus standing on it, his hands on his hips, looking around the room as though he had no idea his foot was on the cable. Becky grinned evilly and walked back to the side of the office so Severus couldn't see her. She wrapped both hands around the cord, ready to pull back with all her might. She was ready to laugh her ass off when he would fall back to the ground. Right when she pulled the cord back, putting all her weight on it, Severus obviously knew what she was going to do and lifted his foot from the cord. Becky went flying into the wall. From out in the classroom, Severus heard a big crash and clatters of all sorts. He smirked with triumph and whistled while he walked back to his chair, acting as though he had no idea what happened.
Now we're even, he thought with a devilish grin.
