Day 15

I was running as quickly as I could, jumping steps and cutting corners just to get there on time. I was a little behind and I knew that I was already late for my way to often detentions with Snape. As soon as I made it down to the dungeons and ran into his room I spoke.

"Sorry Professor that I'm a little late. I had to drop off my-"

"Say nothing. I don't care about stupid lies that you say. Today I want you to test these potions that my students made." He looked up from his desk that was filled with vials of different colored potions. Half of them had to be red while the others were either white or clear.

"Are they all the same potion?" I asked him as I stared at the vials.

He mumbled something.

"What color are they supposed to be?"
"Clear," he said in a sharp tone. "Now get over here right now."

I sat down in a chair next to his desk and he quickly picked up a red vile. "Drink this."

"No," I said quickly. He knew I would be harmed. What was he trying to do? Kill me? If he thought that I was going to put my life in danger for him then he was far off from the loony bin.

"What did you just say to me?"

"I told you no. It's obviously wrong. You should know that unless your color blind along with dumb," I said as a sneer forced its way on his face.

"Ten points from Ravenclaw. Now drink it, now."

"No," I told him and he then started to force it upon me. This was very scary because even though he is a freaky old man he is strong. He was almost abusive it seems as he tried to force it down my throat. My arms were moving about trying to push him off of me. "NO!" I then smacked it out of his hands and it smashed upon the floor.

"Another ten points from Ravenclaw," he said again.

"Oh suck it!" I told him as I stood up and started my way to the doors.

"What did you just say! You come back here. Where do you think you're going?"

"Obviously leaving this place. You can stay down here all by yourself because I'm not coming here for another detention at all." I then ran out of the door, letting the door slam behind me. As soon as I made the first turn I was surprised to hear the stomping of Professor Snape as the door slammed shut again.

I never expected him to actually follow me. My feet didn't stop though, as I traveled through the corridors. Students were looking at me and then I heard them move out of the Professors way. I then ran down a long corridor, looking back I couldn't see or hear him. At that point I thought I lost him but at once he was in front of me.

His glum face stared at me and I saw him go to grab my arm but at that point I was traveling in the opposite direction. He wasn't slow to pick up on this and he extended and grasped my forearm making me stop and look into his face (really ugly by the way).

"Don't you ever run away from me. You think you know this castle better then me do you?"

"Let go of me!" I hollered as I tugged at my arm. I glanced around but there was no one here, no one to help set me free. Even if there were people I'm sure they wouldn't come to my rescue.

"You come back down to your detention! I told you not to underestimate me," his eyes were raging as I pulled once again.

"You're hurting me! Let go!" I hollered as I then shoved my free hand into my pocket and pulled out my wand. I then pointed it at his face, my arm still in his grasp. He let go at once as I stepped back a few steps.

"I told you not to underestimate me Professor," I kept walking back. I was really in deep crap right now. Really threatening a teacher, with my wand! There was a laugh from him. He sounded like a madman.

Snape then whipped out his wand from the inside of his robe, "and the same goes for you. I have not once had this problem with a pupil ever. I wonder what will happen to you, hmmm? Get thrown out, never let back again... I wonder."

"I don't trust you Snape," I said stepping back some more. "There something about you that's-" She searched for a word by he seemed to find one.

"Dark?" He sneered. "I would say the same thing about you."

"Me?"

"I know more about you than you could ever imagine," he said, his wand still pointing at her.

"Is that so? What have you been doing? Stalking me?"

There was a quick laugh, "I'm not an idiot. I know what you have been doing. I noticed your foolish attempts. I have seen your poor way of accomplishing your task."

My breathing quickened. Did he know the whole time? Did he know I was here to kill Harry or was he talking about something else? If he was talking about this then what was he going to do about it? I let the silence between the two of us stay a while until he decided to speak.

"You think that you can just finish a teacher off just by trying to poison them? Or by a mere attempt to hex me but only get these blisters. Or to try and fool me in front of the whole school?"

I felt relieved that he didn't have a clue what I was doing here. "Ha! You know nothing about me! Nothing!" My wand then went flying in my hand. I looked up to see Snape with a puzzled look on his face as well. His wand was out of his hand as well.

Dumbledore stood in the corridor glancing at the two of us. "What is going on here?"

"Oh Professor! Thank god you came here! He's trying to kill me for heaven's sake," I then ran over to him and hid behind him.

"She's lying headmaster. I would never harm a student ever. She took her wand out on me and threatened me with it."

Dumbledore looked at me. "Yeah, ok, I did after the fact he almost poisoned me and violently grabbed my arm." I then rolled up the sleeve of my arm to see (to my surprise... really) a large bruise. I knew he had grabbed me hard but to have a bruise like this I was stunned. Dumbledore's eyes glanced up at Snape but I spoke quickly. "He's been trying to do me in during all of these detentions."

He nodded. "Go back to your common room Mrs. Williams. Severus, may I speak to you in my office?"

"Certainly," he said as he followed in the wake of the headmaster. I did as I was told and I went up to the common room. Ha! I got him! What goes around comes around!
