Chapter 3: His Bark Is Worse Than His Bite

"Woof, woof!" said Severus Snape, as he chased Harry Potter across the Hogwarts grounds. "Woof woof! Woof woof woof!"

"Do something!" said Harry, running past Hermione and Ron.

"He's gone mental!" said Ron, as he gazed wide-eyed after Snape who came speeding by. Hermione just nodded, and tried to come up with a plan, but even she could think of nothing to stop Professor Snape from acting like a dog.

"Woof woof woof!" Snape said, jumping up against the tree Harry had climbed in an attempt to escape the rabid professor.

"Oh, don't worry," shouted Lucius Malfoy, who had appeared suddenly at the foot of the tree, to Harry. "His bark is worse than his bite. Isn't that right, Severus?"

"Woof woof," said Snape.
