Chapter 21
Harry sat and ate his food glumly all during breakfast. This was just what he needed. The
whole wizarding world knowing what had happened. He didn't mean to do it. It just kind
of happened...... Gosh, didn't people have privacy at all these days?
Harry hadn't even bothered to read the article. He couldn't bear to hear what the
biased reporters had made up about him. When he had finished eating, Harry slumped all
the way to his first class, which just happened to be Double Potions with the Slytherins.
What a great first week this has been, he thought to himself. And, it's just about to get a
lot better.
Harry walked through the door of Professor Snape's classroom, and quickly took
a seat in the back corner of the classroom. He wanted to stay away and as much out of
sight as he could from the rest of the world. The rest of the class filled up quickly, and
dozens of stares met Harry's glance. Everyone gaze on Harry was interrupted when
Snape slammed in through the door. He started off his class with a few simple sentences.
"Class, in light of all recent events, I think we should take some time to discuss
what has occurred in this school. Not only have two young girls, which are both in this
very same room," Snape took a quick pause to glance at Hermione and Tori, " been
deprived of their rights as women, they have had it done by someone else in this room.
Someone we all know as Mr. Harry Potter. Why don't we all give him a hand.?" The
class remained silent. "So, class, I think that we should discuss what has happened here in
exact detail, so we can allow it not to happen again. Mr. Potter, why don't you start this
discussion?" Harry didn't know what to say or do. How he hated Snape! He had done this
to embarrass him!
"Um..No that's alright....I'm sure someone else would love to."
"Potter, are you disobeying my commands? Because you know what will happen
if you step one more toe out of line...." Harry remembered his conversation with
Dumbledore.
"Oh.... alright," started Harry. "Now, what am I to talk about?"
"Why don't you start with what you did to these young girls?"
"Well.....um....I....."
"That's what I thought," said Snape, his eyes aglow with happiness. Sure, it must
have been so much fun to see his arch enemy twitch with uneasiness. He could see the
rest of the class hyperventilating, but staying under control. This was, after all, Snape's
classroom. He would not be as lenient as Professor Sprout. "Ten points from
Gryffindor for not answering my question. Now, Mr. Potter, can you tell us why you did
this?"
"Um........." What was Harry supposed to say?!
"Ten points from Gryffindor. How much time did these two events take?"
"Well........" What was Snape's problem!
"Ten points from Gryffindor. How did this happen?"
"Yes, um.........." Come on already!
"Ten points from Gryffindor." And so it went on for the remainder of the class.
Harry couldn't believe how cruel Snape was being. Finally it was over. But, his worst
confrontation yet was about to come.
