Chapter 8

Conversations With Snape- Conversation 1

A/N: Every eight chapters I'm going to have an interview with the current Severus, the one who is in his mid-thirties, about what has happened in the past eight chapters. OK? Ok.

Jackie (me, of course): How are you doing today Professor Snape?

Snape: Fine, thank you.

Jackie: What did you feel or experience when James and his friends pulled that nasty trick on you?

Snape: I felt very, very angry. I wanted to slit their throats.

Jackie: Do you still want to slit them?

Snape: Yes. Very much.

Jackie: Could you possibly explain why you liked Lily, and possibly why you still do now?

Snape: She had lots of energy, lots of spirit. She was loyal, brave, and attractive. The first time I saw her it was merely on prettiness. As I got to know her, I liked her more and more. Now, it is even worse for me, because she has passed on, and since-

Jackie: Hey! Don't give the story away for our readers!

Snape: Sorry. Wait…why exactly are you asking me these questions? Are you writing a story on me? If you are…

Jackie (hastily changes the subject): Have you ever hated your brothers so much you wanted to kill them?

Snape: (hesitates) …Yes.

Jackie: Did you? Kill them, I mean?

Snape. No. There were some very close calls, though.

Jackie: When was this close call?

Snape: When I was in my third year. They had carried me too far, and…

Jackie: (clears throat)

Snape: Oh, sorry.

Jackie: Anybob…

Snape: Hey! That's my saying!

Jackie: Whatever.

Snape: I will not be spoken to like that! 5 points from Gryffindor!

Jackie: But I don't go to Hogwarts.

Snape: Oh. WAIT! Are you a muggle who is on fanfiction.net? And is writing a story about me?

Jackie: Yep.

Snape: GREAT! I have no control over that sort of thing! (slumps in seat) So, what were you saying?

Jackie: I was SAYING, that if you could change anything you did in the first few weeks of your first year, what would it be?

Snape: (pauses to think) I guess…I would've treated Lily more civilly when we were under the tree, talking. I got nervous, and when I'm nervous, I tend to get pretty harsh.

Jackie: Interesting. Did the first prank Dan dreamt up during your stay at Hogwarts amuse you?

Snape: Yes.

Jackie: Why?

Snape: Just because…it was funny and entertaining to watch. It was just good.

Jackie: Do you feel you got them back for the Dungbomb incident?

Snape: Oh, yes. Most definitely.

Jackie: How much did you love your sister Taye back then, and how do you feel about her now?

Snape: To be honest, I didn't really love Taye when I was eleven. I was always having to be babysit her over the summer. Now, I love her very dearly. She is a great person and has not let Mom and Dad sway her into their ways. She is a very strong person, in an emotional sense.

Jackie: Last, but not least, where in the world did your brothers get the giant purple bullfrog?

Snape: I can honestly say I have no idea.

Jackie: Thank you, Professor Snape.

A/N: So…? Review already! C'mon, you know you want to…
