Chapter 2
A figure draped in Hogwarts black with slimly black hair shuffled to his next class, head down. Snape was having a bad day, and it was worse then his other bad days. Samera Fittlebones, a Ravenclaw, had turned him down when he had, stuttering, asked her to go to the ball with him. Not only that, she had told all her friends, and they had told all their friends, and the chain had gone on. Now almost the whole school knew that the unpopular Snape, a Slytherin, had asked popular Ravenclaw out, and had been turned down. He knew he shouldn't have done it, but he really liked her a lot. At least he thought he liked her, now she just seemed cruel, like most everyone else. Almost crying, he was heading toward the Slytherin common room to be alone. Not looking where he was going, he ran right into James Potter.
"Oh.sorry." Snape muttered, not sounding sorry at all, and shuffled on. He went a few feet, but then heard someone shout a spell. He felt all his books fell out of his backpack, which now had a large hole in the bottom.
"I don't think that was very nice, Snapie, you shouldn't run into people you know." Sirius Black gave him a wicked grin.
"I'm sorry, alright?" Snape snapped, trying to pick up all his books. He kept dropping the ones on the top. How would he ever get to the common room?
"No need to be angry, now. Just because you run into someone, doesn't been you have to be so rude about it. I think you need a lesson. Don't you agree, friend Sirius? Expellimentrious!" James potter shouted the spell and Snape helplessly saw his wand fly out from his left pocket.
"Oh, yes I certainly do! Take this, Snape! Destrick!" Sirius yelled, and Snape fell on his back.
Remus Lupin watched in the background and felt a bit sick. Sirius' eyes were glinting madly with glee and James looked like he was having a picnic. Peter.where was Peter anyway? A few people gathered around the scene, but most just walked by. It was an around monthly occurrence and nothing out of the ordinary.
"Sevardia Mestrin!" Sirius yelled, and out of Snape's fingernails little snakes were sliding and flopping to the ground.
"Arg!" Snape cried out, clutching his fingers and moaning.
"Oh, guess what I heard, Maria? You won't believe this!" James did a mock high giggle and hid his face behind his hands. "That Serverous Snape asked Samera Fittlebones to the dance!" He giggled some more in a joking impression of a gaggle of teenage girls. "Can you believe it? That slime ball go out with Samera? What an idiot! What was he thinking?"
"Oh, I can't say, Gilly! I know that nobody would ever love the git except his ugly troll mother. I also know he is too stupid to know that!" Sirius snorted and forced himself only to giggle.
Snape stumbled up and tried to get all his books, snakes sliding out from under his fingernails rather painfully as he did so. Now there was no denying tears were rolling down his face. His mother was dead! Gits! Slipping on some tiny snakes, he fell again into a heap. James through him back Snape's wand upon the pile of books, clothes, and Snape. Then everyone slowly disbanded. Remus stared at Snape a second, and then followed his friends.
