Chapter 3Thoughts and Excuses

"WHO CAUSED THIS?" McGonagall screamed, finally losing it. Everyone's fingers pointed at Draco and Snape.

"YOU TWO! IN MY OFFICE, NOW!" McGonagall roared.

She looks so lovely when she's angry, Snape thought happily. Plus, she's spoken to me three times today! A major improvement from just a "Hi Snape, go change your shirt and take a shower!"

I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU! Draco screamed inside his head. McGonagall's every movement seemed to make Draco want to pounce on her and-well, let's not get that far. I'll go to her office, ask about some Transfiguration assignment, and then, tell her about my feelings. But it has to be after Snape leaves. Snape, I THINK HE LOVES MY LOVE, WHICH IS BAD CUZ IF HE LOVES MY LOVE, MY LOVE MIGHT LOVE HIM AND WON'T LOVE ME, HER TRUE LOVE. I CAN'T BELIEVE HE LOVES HER! HE LOVES MY LOVE! THAT SNAPE! I'M GONNA KILL HIM! OR BETTER YET, I'LL SHOW MINERVA THAT I'M BETTER THAN THAT POTIONS TEACHER.. I'M HER TRUE LOVE AND SHE LOVES ME! I KNOW SHE LOVES ME AND I LOVE HER AND WE'LL GET MARRIED AND HAVE KIDS AND WE'LL LOVE EACH OTHER AND DIE IN LOVE TOGETHER AND I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE THINKS CUZ I LOVE HER! I'LL SHOW THAT SNAPE! I LOVE HER! I LOVE HER! HOW DARE HE LOVE HER! I LOVE HER! Man, I'm thinking about love way too much!

I know, I'll talk to her once Draco leaves and tell her about my feelings, and get her to like me.. I have such good looks and a charm with the ladies. I know she'll love me once she realizes that we're perfect for each other. I'll tell her that I have to talk about something and get that brat Draco to leave, and we'll be ALONE. Hmm… Snape thought, an idea forming in his mind. And we also have to come up with ways to prank that Potter boy, so I'll tell her we need to talk about that. And we do, so it's not a lie. Whew, I'd hate to lie to her my darling Minnie, my lovebug, my sweetie, my dearest love, my pumpkin, my sweet potato, my…

The three of them walked down the hall to McGonagall's office, avoiding the many stares from the students. Meanwhile, Professor Dumbledore was cleaning up the mess and returning the students to their normal state. He was also secretly reading the minds of Snape and Draco, and became very interested about the liking McGonagall parts. Dumbledore was also feeling somewhat nauseated by Snape's pet names for Minerva. At the word "sweet potato", Dumbledore vomited violently, recreating the mess he'd just cleaned up.

"Albus, are you alright?" McGonagall asked. Malfoy and Snape were both enraged by the attention Dumbledore was getting.

Maybe I should throw up too, Draco thought.

"Just fine, Minerva," Dumbledore replied. He made a mental note: NO MORE MIND READING!

Inside McGonagall's office, Malfoy and Snape were giving a detailed explanation of what had happened, careful to leave out any information relating to loving "Minerva".

"And that's it?" McGonagall said skeptically. "Severus, you got mad because your star student was writing a note? A NOTE? AARRGGHH!" McGonagall, looked ready to explode. "Because of a note, you two cause about 178 galleons in damage to school property, injured 21 students, and wasted 34 minutes of class time! A NOTE!"

"I sowwy," Snape said in a squeaky boyish voice.

"Minerva, I am truly sorry for all that I've caused," Draco said in a deeper voice.

"Don't call me Minerva!" McGonagall snapped.

Ha, she told off Malfoy! She loves me, she loves me! Snape thought.

She's just saying that because she doesn't want Snape to know about her feelings towards me, Draco convinced himself.

"Can I talk to you?" Draco asked.

"After I talk first," Snape inteerjected.

"Once I'm done talking to her!" Draco replied angrily.

"You can't talk because you're a student!" Snape yelled.

"I NEED TO TALK ABOUT AN ESSAY FOR TRANSFIGURATION!"

"I NEED TO TALK ABOUT HOW TO PRANK POTTER!"

"QUIET!" McGonagall said. "YOU TWO HVE DETENTION FOR FRIDAY NIGHT! NOW LEAVE IMMEDIATELY!"

"But you can't-" Snape started.

"I CAN AND I WILL, NOW LEAVE!"

Ha, she told him off! She loves ME! Draco thought.

She's just saying that to keep her feelings a secret, Snape thought.
