Day 14

Well, I'm all fixed up at last, along with Harry and Adam who both left with death stares at each other. I feel somehow responsible for that. How come? Anyhoodles, I've been going down to Snapes dungeon twice a week. Every time he becomes a bigger assh- well you know. And I loath him even more. Now I can't blame Harry and I understand why Malfoy and he get along so well.

"You missed a spot," he said, sitting at his desk reading through some papers.

I glared at him with a brush in my hand as I scrubbed the floor. "Did I? I didn't seem to notice." I then scrubbed at the spot I missed.

"And there Williams," he said as he pointed his finger in another spot without lifting his gaze on the page he was reading.

"Yes sir," I said as I scrubbed it down. I then stood up and dabbed my head with the sleeve of my robe.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm done sir, I think that I-"

"Don't tell me what you think Williams. Scrub those tables over there," his finger pointed at a few tables. And this was the way the rest of the detention went. Even though I have detention twice a week I still get cheers and calls from fellow Ravenclaws who are still excited about having the quidditch cup. It was only a matter of time from when we took it away from the Gryffindor.

Adam and Harry are still talking to me as though nothing happened and when ever another shows up to talk to me the other leaves. I've been getting nasty stares from Ginny Wesley and Ron has seemed to talk even less to me. Though he still talks to me. He's really mad but he's getting over it.

So all in all, things were going pretty good and I was getting ready to plan when I was going to kill Harry. Yes, I would be sad to see him go; being a friend and all but I have to do my job and the letter I got from an owl reminded me of how slow I have been.

Dear Miss. Williams,

We wish to inform you that you have not done your job.

If it is not done we will take it into our own hands.

Finish it before the end of the year.

Thank you

So I then started to make my move in the corridor. No one was around except for Harry and I and I started to talk to him. "So Harry how is everything?"

"Oh there you are Rosemary!" He had a large smile on his face. "I have something to ask you. I pointed at myself as if saying, 'me?' "Well, did you hear that since the dance went, well they are doing a sixth year prom thingy. I wondered if-"

Then I heard the sound of some feet moving in the hallway and the next thing I saw was Adam running towards us but Harry only spoke quicker. "Ifyouwouldgowithme," he finished very quickly in one breath.

"Yes, I would love to," I said. This would be my ideal time to finish him off at the prom. Yes, things were really starting to look up. Harry then walked away and Adam was walking slowly in my direction.

"Is everything ok?" I asked him.

His breathing was heavy. "Yeah, yeah, I just wanted... to... ask... you... to... the dance," he finished while he was panting, his hands on his knees.

"I'm sorry, I just-"

"I know," he said. "I heard from over there. I suppose I won't be going then."

"Why not?"

"Because you're going with Harry and I don't want to be there and be a goose gog. The sight of him makes me sick and seeing you with him would make me ill for years."

I gave him a weak smile, "Oh it can't be that bad... You know. Don't tell anyone. You promise?"

He nodded his head.

"Say it."

"I promise."

I then leaned into his ear. "Harry and I are... friends. But I want to let him down at the end of the prom if you know what I mean..." I looked up at his happy face.

"Oh, I see. Well, still, I'm not going. I have better things to do then go to the prom. Well, I guess I'll see you later?"

"Yeah, see ya." And that was the end of our conversation. It seemed like today was really looking up until later that day. I was walking down the hallway and once I made it around a corner I could hear people laughing and a clutter of footsteps.

I looked around to see half of the student body staring at something so just like everyone; I looked to see what it was. I threw my hand over my mouth as I saw what was on the wall. In large dark letters there was a message written.

Smelly Greasy Snape is really Miss. Gracey Pape.

And underneath it was a picture of Professor Snape dressed like a cross dresser. His greasy hair was pulled back into a pony tail and his face was covered in makeup. Fake eyelashes were put onto his pale face making his green dress pop out the most. The picture was moving just like all of the other pictures in Hogwarts and kept saying things like, "wanna give me a kiss?" Or "Just touch my bum bum again!"

Everyone was nearly dying to death from their laughter. And then Melody was over my shoulder.

"Think it's funny do you?" She asked me with her normal sneer.

"Well, it is kind of funny. Snape... in a dress!"

She then pat me on the back. "I knew you had it in you, you little teachers pet."

"Me? Teachers pet?" I rolled my eyes. This girl really was crazy. The next thing I knew there was a low cold voice penetrating the atmosphere.

Snape had finally made his way over to everyone. "What is happening here?" He then pushed his way through the crowd. "Who did this?" He scanned the room and stared at Harry, Ron, and Hermione who stood there staring back. "Who did this?" He repeated and then he scanned again and found me standing next to Melody.

"Professor! Oh Professor!" Said Melody as she was full of glee.

"What?"

She smiled, "I knew who did it!"

There was a silence.

"Then spit it out!"

Melody looked at me. "It was her Professor! I saw her do it! She's mad because you gave her detention and she wanted to get you back!"

"That's not true!" I hollered back at her.

"She's lying Professor. I saw her do it!"

"You're a liar! I didn't do anything. Why I ought to-"

"ENOUGH! Williams down to the dungeons. As for the rest of you, get out of here. "With a flick of the wand the message and picture disappeared slightly. There must have been some spell on it to keep it there. "NOW!" He bellowed at the students still staring at the picture.

Then everyone left and Snape started to march his was down to the dungeons but then Melody grabbed my arm. "I told you I would get you. I hate you I hope you know. And so does Malfoy, my boyfriend, and Snape. I think the whole school hates you. I hope you die! Anyway, let's just say paybacks a bitch!"

"Now!" Snape hollered and I then started to follow Snape down to his little room, still looking back at a smiling Melody.

"I hate you! I hate you," I hissed at her. And I followed Snape. Once we reached his room he slammed it shut.

"Another thirty points from Ravenclaw..." he said as I sat down in a chair."I thought you little act before was enough but this! I can't believe this at all. After I warned you. I guess two detentions a week just isn't good enough for you-"

"Professor," I said and to my surprise he stopped and looked at me.

"What?"

"It wasn't me! Why do you just think it's me!"

He stopped for a second. "Give me your school bag."

"But-"

"Give it to me!" I then handed it to him and he searched through it. "Then what is this may I ask?"

He the pulled out a tube that said, 'paint for all occasions. Proven to stay even after undoing spells.'

"I don't know how it got there. I didn't-"

"I knew it was you!"

"She... it was her... Professor it was Melody," I said trying to hear my voice even though it had felt like it had shriveled up.

He was still walking back and forth, "don't blame this on other students..."

"I'm not," and this is where I started to pass on the water works. I cried and cried and cried until finally he spoke.

"Your tears won't get you out of this one! You now have detention with me every day of the week... You can't go to the prom."

"WHAT?"

"Don't what me Miss. Williams. It's finial. You can leave now." I got up and glared at him. Yeah right. Like I was not going to go to that prom. It was like fate, I had to go! I walked out and into the corridors where I saw Melody standing there like she was waiting for me.

"What do you want?" I said and she moved closer to me.

"Oh, well, I just wanted to know if you have giving up on Adam?"

"I thought you're going out with Malfoy?"

"Well, does that mean that you're done with Adam?"

I started to walk away and as I did I made a gesture that involves one finger up and the rest down. Once I got into the common room I went straight up to my bed, planted my face in it and cried.

Why oh why was I crying? I have never felt like this before and the only other time I had felt this before was when I had gotten the cramps very badly. Rosemary does not cry I was reminding myself but that still didn't stop the warm tears to flow from my eyes. Then I thought, even if he says I can't I am and I will. I will...
