October 6th, Monday Number 20 – 'Stress ball'
You know what's fun? Stress balls. They are great. Fred and George got me to get a bunch and we got like 50 and we were throwing all around the common room. When it was all over I found about 25 of them.
Dear Professor Snape,
These are stress balls. When ever you have the urge to yell at somebody, just grab one of these and relieve all your anger and stress. So enjoy and maybe you will become happier someday.
Sincerely yours, Nicole Pierce
That's the note I put on his desk along with 10 stress balls in a basket. Then I put the last 15 on the floor around his desk. When he came he looked at them with a slightly confused look on his face. He went to his desk and picked up the note.
I sat there with my hands folded and a smile across my face. I watched him read it and his eyes travel up and then into my eyes.
He crumbled up the note and threw it in the garbage can. My smile faded.

October 8th, Wednesday Number 21 – 'Severus!'
Guess what I figured out the other day? That Professor Snape's first name is Severus! Wow. I was just trying to figure out how the hell you get a first name like that. Anyways, I thought it would be quite entertaining if I called him by his first name.
So when I was standing out in front of the hall this morning I looked for him. When I finally saw him I waved at him and said, "Hi Severus!"
He stopped dead in his tracks but then walked even faster to me. He bent down so our faces were even and he hissed, "What did you call me?"
"I called you Severus, silly."
"What in the world gives you the right to call me by my first name?"
"I don't know. Calling you 'Professor' all the time gets quite boring, don't you think?"
"No. I don't think so. I don't think you have the right to call me Severus."
"I don't see what the big deal is Severus."
"Stop it! And get into breakfast."
"O.k." I said as he glided into the Great Hall. "See you later Severus!" I saw his muscles get tense, but he kept walking anyways. I gave my friends high fives and went into the Great Hall.
I stopped calling him Severus when he took 20 points from Gryffindor. He calls us by our first name, why can't we call him by his first name? Whatever.

October 10th, Friday Number 22 – '1, 2, 3'
I can count. That's obvious though. But I want Snape to know that I can count. He's going to think I'm an idiot for it though. Oh well. Ha ha ha.
Anyways, I don't really have to say this because you probably already know it by heart. But I'll say it anyways. I was standing in front of the Great Hall with my friends.
And then my dear friend Severus came striding along.
"Professor! Professor!" I said joyfully, skipping towards him.
"What?" He said sourly.
"1. 2. 3. 4 –"
"You can count. Amazing." He said sarcastically.
"5. 6. 7. -"
He pushed past me to get to The Great Hall.
I called after him, "8. 9. 10!"
Later in class I counted under my breath and then when he came close enough I would count a little bit louder. Just so he could hear my magnificent counting and me. I'm so good at counting!
