Chapter 6
The First Prank
A/N: Sorry for the realllllly long delay, but I was kind of busy being sick… Anyways, here it is! The sixth chapter! Wa-hoo!
Maybe it was because he was a Slytherin. Maybe it was because Sirius had told them about his nastiness. Or maybe it was because he had greasy hair. Whatever the reason was, Sev was mad. Really, really mad.
He sat alone in the common room the next morning, thinking about what happened. His hands were near the fire for warmth. It was always cold there in the morning.
They had acted innocent enough the past couple of weeks. They sniggered at him every chance they got though, whether he stumbled, stuttered, or slipped in a puddle of mud. But they hadn't done anything serious.
Until yesterday.
Severus had been casually strolling the grounds, unaccompanied, when he found an empty glass rolling on the cobblestone of the path. Severus picked it up, and that's when it happened.
He suddenly found himself up in a tree, caught in a net and being bombed by thousands of Dungbombs.
"AAAAIIIIIEEEEEEEE!' he shrieked, and tried to rip his way out of the net and onto the ground for safety.
He heard shouts of laughter from above, and glanced upward. He saw Potter, Black, Pettigrew (who was looking very nervous), and Lupin all laughing hysterically at him. Severus glared, grabbed his wand, and said a handy spell he had learned from his book. The net broke way, and Severus went gently falling to the ground. They were still laughing at him.
Severus growled and stomped back into the castle to wash himself off (seeeee he DOES wash his hair!), while they were still laughing at him from the tree.
"Hey, Snape!" shouted Black. "We did you a favor! Now you HAVE to wash your hair!" They all burst into hysterics again. "I mean, how else are you gonna get the dung out? HA HA HA HA!"
Severus gave them the stink eye, which shut them up instantly. He trudged back into the castle.
"Yo, Sev! What happened to your hair?" Bill called out jokingly. Severus didn't answer him and climbed the stairs to the Slytherin Boy's Bathroom.
"Hey…Severus? Are you okay?" called Dan from the bottom of the stairs. Severus didn't answer him. He was just sick. Sick of everything. Sick of his family, sick of his friends, even sick of himself. He was tired of being ignored and ridiculed. He was tired of holding his emotions inside. But he still had to do it. He couldn't stop now. It was like some sort of disease.
Man, I need to see a shrink, thought Severus, getting undressed. (A/N: Hee hee. I get to watch and you don't…you can only watch in your imagination…hee hee…)
"Severus?" Severus could hear Dan coming up the stairs. Severus quick;y threw a towel around himself. (A/N: Aaawww…)
"Don't come in!" Severus hissed.
"Well,duh," said Dan's voice from outside the door. "Listen, Severus, just tell me what happened after your shower. I need to know if a million cows came over your head and dumped their toxic waste on you or what,"
Severus sniggered.
"So…I'll be downstairs. Ok?"
"Okay," agreed Severus, and turned on the shower, threw off his towel (A/N: HURRAY!) and climbed in.
After the shower, Severus dried his hair with his wand saw his hair was still greasy. Oh, well.
He put on his clothes and headed back downstairs to the common room.
"Dan,' sighed Severus, plopping himself into an armchair across from Dan. "They pulled a prank on me,"
"Who pulled a prank on you?" asked Dan.
"James Potter, Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew, and Remus Lupin," said Severus.
"Oh, them," said Dan. Then he got a very evil look on his face.
"What? What is it?" asked Severus.
"I know how to get revenge," said Dan very, very evilly.
Severus turned away from the fire, hoisted the chair to face the stairs to the dorms. Dan should be waking up any minute now.
Severus wondered what his evil plan was…
A/N: Like it? Hate it? Too short? Too long? Think I used a Gary Stu (WHICH I DIDN'T!)? Review!
