Beneath the Surface

Nothing is as real as a dream.

The world can change around you,

but your dream will not.

Responsibilities need not erase it.

Duties need not obscure it.

Because the dream is within you,

no one can take it away.

Chapter 11

*November 20th*

"So you don't mind?" John asked. "No, go ahead; as long as I can stay at practice, I'm okay with it." Sarah agreed. John wanted to get his friend, Matt, back into the team, but Sarah wouldn't get to play. As long as she got to go to practice, she'd be fine. "Yes, of course," John said. "Okay, well I have to go now, lunch is almost over, talk to you tomorrow!" Sarah waved good-bye. "Bye," John waved and headed in the other direction.

Sarah turned the corner. "Sarah!" Erin yelled, almost running into her friend. "ERIN! Just wonderful! I was looking for you, here take this list," Sarah shoved a list into the dumbfounded Erin. "And go to Professor Snape's office and ask him for the first four things. Would you do it for me please? I need it for a-" Sarah thought of a class she didn't have with Erin, "A Defense against Dark arts project!"

Erin read over the list. "I suppose, but why can't you get these yourself?" Erin asked, slightly confused. "Well you see-" Sarah thought over the three detentions she's had with him, and the one she has now, which is a 5 page essay which was due tomorrow. "Err- he doesn't seem to like me," Sarah bended the truth. "Why not?" Erin asked. "We uh- don't click?" Sarah lied again. "And he loves Slytherin, so could you?" Sarah begged. "Sure, right now?" Erin looked at her watch. Sarah nodded. "Okay, let's go!" And Erin and Sarah walked to the Potions class.

Just out side Sarah stopped Erin. "Say it's for a Herbiology project," Sarah instructed. "But we don't have- -" Erin began and Sarah rolled her eyes. "Oh, I get it, I'm going now," Erin finished.

She walked in and started chatting with Professor Snape. "Oy, He never seems this happy in my class," Sarah said under her breath. Sarah pressed her back along the wall and came as close to the door as she could.

Erin was reading off the things on her list and Sarah could hear Snape getting the ingredence for her. He gave her what she needed and they started to talk. Sarah didn't make a noise or anything, but Professor Snape yelled, "Sarah, come here!"

Sarah froze, and like a robot she came into view. Scared out of her wits Sarah panicked. "Oh, Professor Snape, Erin, funny meeting you here," Sarah blurted out. "Do you have you detention done?" Snape asked comely, since he realized she was nervous. "Uh yea," Sarah lied, and was she ever kicking herself inside too, because Snape knew she was too.

"Can I have it?" He asked, cool as ice. "You want my essay? Of course you do! It IS due tomorrow but you're the teacher! Oh my, look at the time!" Sarah looked at her wrist which had no watch. "Time to go! I'll get it to you tomorrow! Let's go Erin!" She grabbed Erin's sleeve and dragged her out of the room. And Erin was crying 'I have potions next! I have potions next!' Sarah dragged her down the hall and around the corner as she sat against the wall to catch her breath.

"Here!" Erin handed her the pouch and the letter of ingredence. "Thanks a lot Erin!" Sarah took them both and stood up. "Class starts in a minute, see you later!" Erin waved and left to go back to potions.

A/N: Okay so that was chapter 11, and remember I don't own Harry Potter, I just use his name! So review and check out the next chapter, which I hope will be up soon. Bu I have school finals coming up, only a month left! My birthday's also coming up, and I'm turning 16 (YAY, oh hold the applause people) So I'm going to be studying for my drivers test, and I only have two weeks, so wish me luck! But after that I should be able to have more chapters up more recently! Anyways, thanks for reading! Ciao!
