Green Star Chapter 3 The serpent and the cat
The four walked into their first class of the day, potions. "This will be fun, Snape will be your favorite teacher for sure." Ron stated sarcastically. Harry and Ron took their seats as Hermione and Audrey settled into the seats behind them. Snape walked in. no, he didn't walk, he PLOWED in, and barked, "Class, you know the routine. The potion is due at the end of the hour. Ingredients on desks, pg 72 in the textbook. One word and points will be taken. Mr. Longbottom, I suggest you try and not melt anything." He sat at his desk and he gazed around the room. His gaze intimidated all the students, all but one... Audrey.
"Miss Belivein," he barked. "May I help you?" She asked. "We have a dress code, and THAT is not it." He gestured to her clothes. She looked at him as purple collided with black. "I know," she replied sweetly. "I suggest you change." "I don't want to," she said defiantly. "Do NOT take that tone with me." He barked. "Why?" Her voice dripped sugar as she cocked her head, the whole class gasped. Someone was standing up to Snape. "I do NOT like your SARCASM, Miss Belivein." "Well I do, professor, I have something shoved up my -" "MISS BELIVEIN!" He cut her off "Okay, okay, fine. I'll shut up!" she took her seat "Miss Belivein, you have won yourself detention tonight with me." He stated eyes still ablaze. "JOY!" she replied sarcastically, then went to work.
She was the first to finish her potion, a simple wart removal potion. She bottled the lot and took a book out of her bag and began to read. A voice disturbed her.
"Belivein, what do you think you're doing?" Snape scowled. "One; I am reading, and two; please fix your face, it looks as though you've consumed 3 lemons." She never took her eyes off the book. "Miss Belivein!!" "Yes, okay, I think you know my name by now. What do you want!?" "Why aren't you working on your potion?" he demanded, glaring at her. "You can't work on a potion that is finished, bottled, and cleaned up. Unless you want more than 2 batches." She motioned to the 12 bottles neatly sorted on her desk.
Snape was in disbelief, pissed and agitated. "You cannot be finished!" He looked at her desk at then at her, still reading the book. "You must have screwed something up. That's impossible! You messed something up!"
Audrey was pissed. "Professor. I. NEVER. SCREW. UP!" she half yelled behind gritted teeth.
"I am your teacher you will treat me with respect! You could not have brewed it that fast and not screwed something up!"
"You're wrong and stubborn, I can't take this. You're cruel, and another thing, YOU SUCK AT TEACHING!" she grabbed her bag and bolted out the door. Everyone's eyes were on Snape, no way did she just say what she said... he's Snape! He's feared!
"Anyone moves and you will lose 100 points!" he bolted out the door. Audrey could tell he was chasing her, why not keep the upper hand? She changed into her cat self and bolted down the corridor. She needed to blow off steam. She reached the common room entrance just as Snape reached the 4th flight of stairs. "BELIVEIN!" he raged, as he breathed raggedly. She turned around and stared. "What the hell do you want now?" She said coolly, he continued his journey up the stairs. "I will not take your attitude or your mouth!" "Fine. Don't. Your class is easy, and I would be fine if I never saw your ugly face again!" She knew it was childish but she couldn't help it. 'How could anyone stand up to me?' he thought incredulously.
"If you have nothing else to say to me, then leave me be!" She stormed into the common room and into her dorm only to grab two things, her broom and a ball. She headed back out. He was waiting for her when she climbed out of the entrance. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her back sharply. Her eyes glazed over in fury. "THAT was a mistake." She cooed harshly, she pulled back her right arm, made a fist, and punched him square in the face. He was taken aback, and he loosened the death grip on her wrist. She took the opportunity and wriggled free, she dove over the railing and mounted her broom. She flew with ease to the bottom and out onto the grounds, leaving a bleeding and furious Severus Snape behind. He flew down the stairs.
Audrey felt better after she got outside. 'Oh, the nerve of him,' she thought. She jumped off her broom and enlarged the soccer ball she'd stuck in her pocket. She harshly kicked it against the stone wall of the castle wishing it was Snape's head. She hated it here already, she refused to talk to him again no one touches her, ever. 'How dare he,' him of all people who actually knew her past and yet. 'GOD, HE'S SUCH AN ASS!' she mentally screamed. "The nerve of him, I can't deal with it here, sometimes I wish I was dead." She conversed to herself out loud. In all her fury she did not see that Snape had walked up behind her. "Miss Belivein!" His voice was pure velvet, she turned on her heel, and he pinned her to the school wall. He breathed harshly on her neck.
"Get off me, NOW!!" She ordered. "No. You've already physically assaulted me, and your words alone could get you expelled!" "Fine, expel me, see if I care. Then where am I going to go, huh? It would be like suicide. You know what, go right ahead. Be my guest, sign my death warrant and send me walking. I'll go gladly."
Snape took a step back and looked at this girl - no, woman - in front of him. She was in sheer pain; she was an abused child. No wonder she took so harshly to his words and actions. 'You stupid git,' he thought to himself.
She turned and walked away as Snape spoke up, "Wait." "Why? So you can criticize me more? Go ahead; make a crack at me. I'm sorry, it's not my fault I am the way I am, blame my father. My past isn't exactly cake and marshmallows." She stormed about the grounds and he followed.
"I know your past is less than.. an ideal one, but that gives you no right to antagonize me as you did. I am still your teacher." "You're just like him." She muttered as she quickened her pace. "Just like who, may I ask?" The harsh tone was now near gone. "My father." Severus Snape stopped dead in his tracks, and was about to respond when he realized she was right. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
