Chapter 2: Well, that came outta nowhere . . .
Professor Snape's empty eyes were still focused on Tamsin and Ron as his deep voice snapped alive.
"Come in, but be quick about it!"
The entire class' attention had now turned to the stone door as it creaked open and the visitor clambered into the potions dungeon.
Tams' face was completely smothered with a merry and curious grin as the older Gryffindor girl stepped inside. She was clutching a scroll of parchment in her hands and and had a long blonde ponytail tied low at the back of her head. Tamsin recognised this girl immediately. Her name was Lori, an overly-romantic girl who always seemed to be wearing a Gryffindor scarf around her waist and a bright smile.
Snape was now eyeing her suspiciously.
"And what exactly is so important that causes you to interrupt this class?" He asked coldly.
Lori wasn't smiling any longer. It was obvious that Snape's malicious glare was getting to her, as she was constantly biting her lip and looking down at the hard stone floor.
"Um . . . Sir, I have a notice to . . . to read to this class." she whispered anxiously.
Professor Snape sighed heavily and sank down into his chair.
"Well then, hurry up and read it, girl!" He clicked his tongue in annoyance at her. Lori's eyes widened at the stern teacher and she began to read awkwardly from the scroll.
"Um . . . Attention all students. With the arrival of Valentines Day this week, the faculty of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry have organised a special Valentines Day feast to celebrate this holiday. Students wishing to participate should be waiting outside the doors of the Great Hall and 8pm sharp on Valentines Day as the feast will commence at approximately ten past eight. Hopefully you will be able to attend. Your headmaster, Professor Albus Dumbledore."
Excited chatter erupted from the class as Lori finished, especially from the girls. Although the gossiping students were quite loud, Tams distinctly heard Snape's muttering voice over the babble.
"Valentines Day," He scoffed, "Complete load of rubbish for stupid, romantic morons."
Lori had obviously heard him too, because her eyes became narrow and she began to whisper slowly and through her teeth.
"I'm sorry sir, but I'm afraid I have to disagree."
The noise from the chattering students died away almost instantly and the attention immediately shifted to Professor Snape and Lori, the incredibly courageous and yet incredibly stupid girl who had just had enough bravery and senselessness to become the first student at Hogwarts to actually stand up and say what they thought to Snape, regardless of what his reaction would be. Well, apart from Harry Potter of course, but he didn't really count. After all, Harry had been up against and defeated the most powerful dark wizard ever produced from Hogwarts several times. What was Snape compared to that?
No, Lori Windlay was different. She was a tried and true romantic who really believed in all that stuff, and was constantly giving out roses to people she didn't even know and for no particular reason. She had hardly been able to believe the idiotic remark that had been heard a few moments before had even dared to escape from Snape's think lips. "Stupid, romantic morons" was what he had said. In other words, that included Lori. This made her blood boil, causing her to say what he did. Normally, Lori wouldn't have said anything remotely like that to the Professor, which was what made this situation so frightening. No to mention the fact that Snape was frightening anyway.
So there she stood, in all her Gryffindor glory. Glory meaning that she had that tiny glimmer of hope and bravery in her eye, and yet a look of sheer terror on her now ghostly pale face, as Snape's low and sneering voice filtered through the cold air of the dungeon over to her, stinging her ears.
"Excuse me, Miss Windlay?"
Lori slowly opened her mouth and Tams noticed that her voice was quite shaky.
"I'm sorry sir, but you're wrong."
From the look on Snape's face, Tamsin was half expecting him to pull out his wand and hex Lori on the spot. But instead, he simply clicked his tongue at her once more as she continued.
"Valentines Day is not rubbish. It's a time for when people who have found something great inside them celebrate their feelings and tell the people they care about how they feel about them . . ."
She was gradually growing more confident as she continued with her speech. Harry was grinning with satisfaction at her and Tams couldn't help but beam too. A few more students were now smiling at Lori also, but most were resisting this temptation, most probably scared that Snape would force-feed them some sort of nasty potion of their lips even curved at all. Meanwhile, Lori's voice was echoing around the room, bouncing off the silent stone walls.
" . . . and for people who have discovered something fantastic inside someone else, an amazing person that no one else can see . . ."
Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil were leaning excitedly over their table with their jaws dropped, hanging on Lori's every word, and Pansy Parkinson had her knees on the chair with her chin placed on the back-rest, her hard pug-face beaming.
Smiles were infectiously spreading across the other half of the class too, the boys. Seamus, Dean and Neville, having now retrieved Trevor from the cauldron, were each equipped with large and stupid grins. Ron was simply looking stunned, though he still managed to whisper the occasional "Shh!" at Hermione, who was giggling uncontrollably.
"It's not just about cards or chocolate or poems, Professor. Nor are the people who enjoy it 'stupid, romantic morons', no matter how much you believe they are. It's about love sir, and the people those so-called morons care about. I hope you don't mind me saying sir, but I advise you try what I'm talking about before you throw insults at it."
Noise exploded from the dungeon as Lori closed her mouth once more. She had probably just realised what she had said, judging by the proud and yet totally horrified expression on her face.
The entire class were cheering for her now, mostly the Gryffindors, but Blaise Zabini was standing on her chair, and with many others cheering, "Lori, Lori . . ." while clapping their hands.
Tams suddenly found herself atop a stool, applauding, and Harry looked as if he was almost at the point of lifting Lori onto his shoulders.
This chaos continued for several minutes, and was only able to be silenced when somebody whispered suddenly.
"Quick! Look at Snape!"
Around thirty student's heads turned to their Professor, some a little scared. But he was still sitting in his seat, completely silent.
Eventually his once sneering and quite intimidating voice murmured.
"I believe this lesson is over. I advise all of you leave immediately."
The entire class wasted no time in stampeding out of the room and away from Snape. As soon as they were out of the dungeon, the talk began yet again.
