Close your eyes, Just settle, settle

After casting a spell making sure that they can't get within 2 feet of each other.

Vicky sat on one couch glaring at Erica and Erica on the other beside Snape glaring at Vicky. Snape got up sat beside Vicky and cast healing charms on her wounds.

Vicky grinned and whispered something in Snape's ear, and made him gulp.

Erica's eyes widened. "What are you saying, oh my god, Vicky Atkins, this will be the last day you ever lived! What is she saying SEVERUS!"

Snape looked at her with wide eyes.

"Oh boy" said Erica.

Vicky leaned in on Snape's ear and whispered "Erica is in love with you, and what I've been trying to say is that, you should ask her to the dance."

He looked at Erica, he couldn't understand what she was yelling, and he couldn't hear anything after that.

Someone cared about him? The person probably most hated in Hogwarts, and someone liked him? He shook it out of his head. Vicky was probably just getting her revenge.

He got up and moved over to Erica to fix her wounds.

He was mumbling to himself. And she wanted to just hug him.

She remembered his words. "no I'd prefer if you don't touch me"

"I'm leaving the ward up for 2 more hours, till you two cool down." And he left.

Erica lunged at Vicky, and Vicky lunged at Erica and the hit the invisible wall and fell back.

"WHAT DID YOU TELL HIM!" Erica screamed.

"That you were in love with him and wanted to have Snape babies."

Her jaw dropped and almost looked like it would hit the floor.

"Joking, I told him to ask you to the dance...and that you were in love with him."

Erica hid her face in her hands. She breathed in and looked up and took the food from the table and ate it.

Severus walked into the common room. Lucius was in there.

"Severus, how are you, do you think Erica or Victoria would like to go to the ball with me?"

"I don't know" he said through a clenched jaw.

"I've got homework" Snape lied "I'll be in the room"

He opened the Journal and started reading.

September 1st 2004

We were walking to the common room, our first day back, and we didn't have the password, blah blah blah, Snape appeared and was being...Snape-like and wouldn't give us the password, Lupin showed up, gave us the password, and Vicky got happy and hugged him. So I decided to be funny and ask Snape. "Aw...Professor Snape, do you need a hug?" He backed away and said "no I'd prefer if you don't touch me"

Which, was funny. But then I took it personal, which I shouldn't.

Arg, I'm going to bed,

Erica

He read a couple of pages more and couldn't believe this one.

December 21 2004

he helped me. I don't know why. I don't even know if it's possible, he didn't yell at me, he did take my alcohol, and he carried me, then we ran into Lupin and Vicky and followed them. I asked him to play STAR WARS with me, then I blurted out that I liked him and I left. I don't know anymore. This really sucks. I'm tired. Damn him and his entire mini Snapes.

Erica

Severus read through the whole book, actually laughing out loud at some of the thing she did to him. Like poking him non stop, asking why constantly, falling purposely in front of him and watching him look at her madly. Kicking him in the shin and running.

Then he found something more interesting,

she sang to him?

January 12 2003

today was funny. I drank this potion, and it made me sing, well, that part wasn't fun, but Snape's face was.

He told me to test my potion to see if I did it right, I obviously did.

Ashlyn, Vicky, Stephanie and Ellie all chugged the potion and started singing with me, I swear it was a dream, or nightmare, depends on how we sounded.

I grabbed a quill and started singing into it.

"well, that's more sweet, so delicate It use to be this dying breed" Then Ashlyn and Ellie screamed "I've got a bad feeling about this I've got a bad feeling about this"

Then me and Vicky were grinning like morons softly whispering "you kept still until the long drive home-Slept safe and close to the window" Stephanie came less shy now and joined in for Ashlyn and Ellie. "Well, I've got a bad feeling about this I've got a bad feeling about... "

I looked around People were smiling, and clapping. Snape had his eyebrows raised.

Ellie Did a charm were the instrumental came in and Vicky went on

"to say you'll have to go Well, say you'll have to go"

Vicky and I screamed at the top of our lungs "to hell with you and all your friends To hell with you and all your friends...it's on"

Ashlyn and Ellie were smiling ear to ear as they whispered "well, that's surer in porcelain Your skin and bones, I'm a nervous wreck Well I've got a bad feeling about this I've got a bad feeling about this"

All five of us started screaming

"anyone will do tonight Anyone will do tonight Close your eyes, just settle, and settle Close your eyes, just settle, and settle Anyone will do tonight Anyone will do tonight Close your eyes, just settle, and settle Close your eyes, just settle, settle"

I walked back to my desk plopped back down and kept singing "I'm coming over but it never was enough, I thought of you and my worst brings out the best in you"

I looked back my friend and grinned, I looked up to Snape enraged, but trying to keep his cool. I knew that he knew that wasn't an affect of the potion. The potion we brewed that day was a VOID potion, does nothing to the body, it was used for bluffing, and you could make it look like any type a potion. But see the five of us planned to sing in his class so….why not blame it on a potion, and run like hell.

So I looked at him walking towards me, then I screamed 'oh shit' and ran out the door. Trying to suppress my laughter, I couldn't breathe, it was so great.

Erica

He closed the book, leaned back in his seat and yawned. He looked at a clock on a wall; it was two in the morning.

He got up, turned off his lamp, took off his shoes, cloak, and shirt, leaving his pants and undershirt as he seeped into bed.
