Ch. 6 Trouble
When they got to his office, he slammed the door.
"I don't know who you think you are talking to a teacher like you did downstairs." he said stiffly.
He noticed that her pocket was bulging.
"What's in your pocket? Stolen goods no doubt." he stated. "Show them to me."
She didn't move.
"SHOW THEM TO ME!" he yelled and spit flew all over Bethany. She wiped her face vigorously and reluctantly pulled out the two flasks.
Professor Snape grabbed them from her hands and inspected them.
"I want you to drink these." he said menacingly.
"What?" said Bethany trying to look innocent. Maybe if she pretended not to know anything then she could leave without having to show Professor Snape what happened if you drank the potions. If she had to drink it, he would know that someone had stolen his book because no student could know how to mix this kind of potion without that book. He would suspect her.
"Drink it." he said sharply again.
"How come?" she said stalling for time, hoping that someone would call him away from his room.
"If you were trying to poison a Slytherin which I am betting that this is for, you will get sick or die and their life will be saved. It will be your fault if you do get ill." he explained sneering. "I will at least find out what the potion does. And it must be something dangerous Ms. Sipple because you wouldn't have a problem with it if it was something normal."
She slowly opened the first flask and put it up to her mouth.
"Wait," she thought, "if I don't say 'phantomahraya' then I won't get caught!"
She drank some of the potion and put the top of the flask back on.
Nothing happened.
"Now the other one." he said.
She did the same again, and still nothing happened.
Snape's face turned into a nasty frown.
Just then, Harry, Hermione, Ron, Kiara, Ruby, Patrick, Fred and George. Burst into the room, falling and tripping all over each other. They all tried to give different explanations of why Bethany had the potions but Snape couldn't understand any of them because they were all talking at the same time. He gave them a look of disgust.
"Detention for all of you." he bellowed.
"WHAT!" they all yelled.
"Ms. Sipple for having an attitude, and the rest of you for trying to bail her out and barging into my office without knocking." he said.
They sighed, knowing that they couldn't do anything about it and they left the room. But Fred and George didn't leave until they had 'borrowed' yet another thing of Professor Snape's. This time, it was a jellied newt in a bottle.
"I can't believe Professor Snape gave us detention for trying to help you!" said Patrick as they walked back to the Gryffindor common room.
"We all know he hates us." said Harry.
"Floating billywig." Bethany said to the fat lady and they entered the common room.
They talked about how evil Professor Snape was until Kiara and Patrick had to go back to the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff common rooms and then they went to bed.
Bethany was angry at Professor Snape for being such an ugly git and she wondered what else he had against her. She hoped their detention wouldn't be anything too bad but she couldn't think of anything Professor Snape would give them. It could be anything. She forgot about that and remembered that quidditch season was starting next week. She imagined herself flying for the millionth time in another one of her quidditch games until she slowly fell asleep.
