Chapter 2 "The First Gift He Is To Receive"
His arrival at the classroom was the usual. A little earlier and quicker but all and all the usual. Placing his papers magically into the proper classes and order (by grades; Draco and Hermoine always at the top of the stack) and setting out the supplies for the day.
A rumble from his stomache alerted him that it would explode if he didn't get some food. 'All right all right,' he thought going to his desk.
Looking over his shoulder first to the right then the left he opened a secret compartment of his drawer which was stuffed with a seemingly life time supply of candy. Snickers, Reeses, Butterfingers, Herseys, Baby Ruths, Kit Kats, Twix, M&Ms, Skittles, Jolly Ranchers, Life Savers, Tootsie Rolls, Pop Rocks, Nutrageous, Sweet Tarts, Never Ending Gobstopers, and even Baby Bottle pops he had them all and no one and I mean no one knew of his unnatural addiction to muggle candy. Or so he thought.
As the drawer opened a package feel out at his feet. Wrapped in a eerily familiar blue wrapping paper the package instantly brought a sickening feeling to Snape ending his hungry instantly. Not only had they invaded his living corders they had invaded on of the things he thought no one knew about.
Picking the package up off the floor he set it down on the top of the desk and closed the drawer. There was a card attached to the top.
'I will not open it I will not give them that satisfaction.'
Beginning to magically write the instructions on the board to be revealed later he couldn't help but look over his shoulder towards the gift. 'No I won't,' he said looking quickly back to his writing. Yet still a few moments later he found his self looking over again. 'Snap out of it Severus concentrate on what you are doing.'
It was no use he couldn't write with this sort of thing on his mind. Circling the package like a beast ready to ponce he found himself upon the gift hands ripping the card open.
The card was a regular muggle thing. A hallmark they called them. On the cover is a dark black vase filled with deep red flowers. It said in pretty silver writing I don't want to be your first love. He flipped to the inside of the card and read the words I want to be your last. A chill went down his spine.
To My Beloved
I hope you will appreciate my gift. I think this card sums up my feelings perfectly.
Placing the card back into the envelope. Snape was quite a bit afraid of what he would find inside the gift. Removing the wrapping carefully he found a box of the finest Godiva chocolate and a single red rose. Holding it carefully in his hand he brought it to his nostrils bringing in it's reach sent.
"Professor."
Jumping instantly Snape dropped the rose with a start cutting open his inner hand. Angrily he looked up to find Hermoine Granger staring at him obviously trying to stiffle a laugh.
"What may I ask brings you to my classroom so early Granger?"
"I'm sorry Professor but Dumbledore asked me to deliver this letter to you," she said handing him a piece of paper with the obviously sloppy hand writing of the headmaster.
"Thank you now please be gone with you already," he said waving her away.
"Yes but one thing Professor who sent you the candy."
Snape flinched. "Ten points from Gryffindor and if I find out that you have spoken of this to anyone I swear you will have enough detention to fill up the rest of your time here."
"Whatever you say Professor." Taking the hint she left a little fear in her step but a smile on her lips no less.
Looking down at the paper he read:
Severus,
It has come to my attention that you will not be joining us at Breakfast this morning. I do hope you find yourself in the Common Room at dinner the teacher's have a very important matter they would like to discuss with you.
Dumbledore
Headmaster
