September 27th, Friday. Number 15 – 'distracted'

You know how when someone is talking to you and you become bored and interested in something else? Yeah, well, it's called distracted. Kind of like in Professor Binns class, everyone becomes distracted with something else. I usually become distracted in how odd my quill looks. You might think that's boring, but not as boring as Binns classes are.

So anyways, when I was in Snape's class, I would look at something or do something and become distracted. He didn't make us make potions today. He talked instead, which is good, because it gave me a lot of time to become distracted.

He walks around when he talks, and every time he came close enough to me, I would become distracted in something. As in... the desk, my fingernails, my shoes, the chalk board, something on the wall, something on his shelves, etc... Then, when he came over to me, he stopped speaking and just looked down at me for a moment.

"Ms. Pierce? Is there something interesting on the wall that you'd like to share with the rest of the class?"

I looked up at him, opened my mouth, closed it, and looked at a button on his robes.

"What are you staring at?"

I looked back at him, opened my mouth, closed it again, stared at the chalkboard past him, and said "wow".

"What is so interesting?" he demanded.

"Just the chalkboard," I said, not taking my eyes off of it.

"It's more interesting than what I'm saying about poisonous mushrooms?"

I nodded my head.

"Pay attention before I get impatient!"

I took my eyes off the chalkboard and focused on him.

He looked at me for a second and then went back to talking, "Now, these mushrooms are purple with..."

I went back to staring at the wall.

September 28th, Saturday Number sixteen, 'huh?'

I know this is kind of mean, but it was so funny.

My friends stand right outside of the great hall before each meal, just to piss Snape off. Every morning he comes by and tells us to get inside, even though there is no real rule that we're not suppose to stand there. But he tells us to get inside anyways.

But today, when he came over to us and told us to get inside, I stood where I was and just stared at him blankly.

"Get inside!" he repeated.

"What? I – can't – under – stand – you." I said slowly.

"Why are you talking like that? Are you really that slow?"

"What – are – you – saying?"

Basically, I was trying to make him look like a fool by getting him to talk slow.

"I'm saying get inside before I have to take points from you."

I looked at my friends blankly too. I turned back to Snape and said, "Sir – your – words- are – not- clear."

"Stop it! I'm speaking very clearly!"

"What?" I stuck my finger in my ear and twisted it, as if trying to get the gunk out."

"Get – inside- the – great – hall – before- I – take- points – off – of – your- house!" he yelled.

People that were standing close looked at him as if he was crazy.

"Oh. Ok." I said and walked inside smiling to myself.

It was funny!
