Foolish Wand Waving
chapter 3
A/N My thanks to JKR for the wonderful characters we seem to keep borrowing. To Alan Rickman the artist and the actor for inspiring this story and a very big thankyou to Imhilien without whose support this work would never have left my head let alone been posted.
and now the story:
Blast that know-it-all Gryffindor. She had been at the exhibition and had seen through the outer layers of his work down to the very personal, and private layers underneath.
Recognising many of the people and places as those that could be found in or around Hogwarts, she had come to the conclusion that Russell Gryffin must be a recent graduate. Severus doubted it would take her long to stumble on the truth and then where would he be.
Either surrounded by gushing fans, or as seemed more likely, shunned by his so-called friends for participating in such a Muggle hobby. They wouldn't care that just weeks earlier they had been telling everyone about their latest acquisitions, oh no, all they would care about was putting Severus back in his place. Supposedly that of a High-Born, Pure -Blood, Wealthy, Slytherin Wizard.
There was only one thing for it. He would have to have it out with Miss Granger and somehow persuade her to keep her big mouth firmly Shut. How to go about it though? A detention might be in order, but what for? Oh well, he wasn't a very good slytherin if couldn't figure that one out.
Severus' luck was in as he caught Granger in the corridors after hours. "Detention! Miss Granger. Tomorrow night, 7pm, my office and I would advice you not to be late.That is, of course, unless you want a futher twenty points off Gryffindor and a weeks worth of detentions cleaning grubby cauldrons , By Hand." Allowing a small smile to cross his face, he returned to his rooms pleased with the nights work and looking forward to the next.
