Absolutely no money is being made.

There were many problems being the one and only Severus Snape.

A) You couldn't tan

B) You had to be on the toes to make some weird potion no one ever
thought of before to make the almighty Headmaster of Hogwarts happy.

C) You were lactose intolerant

Yes, those three things were the burden of dear Severus' life. And these problems happened almost year long, every day. (Much to his annoyance, and the annoyance to all around him, which most of the time tended not to be anyone because he had a small touch of social anxiety, but there was always therapy to help fix that.)

It was nearing the end of the school year. The worst time of the year. All of his problems collided at once. Dumbledore was always at his office door,asking sweetly for some bizzare something that Severus had to whip up in amatter of hours, there was milk with cereal every morning, and that blastedsun didn't do well with his irish complexion. Bah. Who needs the sun?

Certainly not Severus Snape!

Well, another normal day had begun. It was six o' clock am. Aaah it was a glorious day! The birds were chirping, the sun was shining...

...and Dumbledore was hammering down dear Severus' door.

Good morning World!

Grumbling, and barely being able to see through the crust in his eyelashes, Severus tripped and knocked into things, and finally made it to the door!

Our dear Severus opened up the door, yawning. When his vision cleared and the crust was gone from his eyeballs, whom or what did he see?

Well, as stated above, it was Dumbledore! And his nose was taking up most of Severus' sleep deprived eye ball vision space!

The Most Powerful Wizard In The World (tm) waved brightly in Severus' face, and shoved some scrolls in his arms.

"Hello, my dear Professor!" the Headmaster chirped brightly. "Overslept I see?"

Severus grunted, which could be translated as "Yes, I do apologize I have slept late and caused a conflict in your schedule!"

...but who wants to say all those words at six am?

Dumbledore of course! He pointed to the scrolls that have unraveled to the floor and now laid in a mountain at Severus' slipper clad feet.

"I would like a potion tonight listing all those ingredients tonight
Professor!" he exclaimed. "Nutrition is very important for a weary old manlike me! It is not too much trouble is it?"

Our poor Professor shook his head and threw the scrolls inside his door.

After all, who can refuse that polite request?

And after ten years, one gets used to it.

Dumbledore gave Severus a cheery salute, and with that, the "weary old man" took off down the hall, clicking his heels.

Dear Severus, slouched around and snapped his door shut again. He wobbled over to where his cloak was hung, and pushed it out of the way, where a bunch of tally's were marked with chalk. The Professor picked up the chalk, and marked another tally.

In fancy calligraphic handwriting at the top of those tally's read: "Six A.M Wake Up Call"

He also marked underneath it:

Total:1149

But no one, not even the Master Severus Snape of Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft and Wizardry can make a decent potion on an empty stomach.

Because, as Dumbledore stated, "Nutrition is very important for a weary old man like me!"

Your quite right Dumbledore, quite right.

So breakfast saw our dear Professor sandwiched in between McGonagall and Flitwick, and their jokes seemed to pass through ones mouth, through his ears, to the others own ears. And so the pattern continued.

So what was on the Breakfast menu today dear House elves, slaves of
imprisonment?

Well, there were eggs over easy, scrambled, and poached, bacon, toast, porridge, french toast, and Cereal and along with cereal of course goes milk!

And as a result of Snape's aforementioned social anxiety, he never toldanyone of his lactose intolerance-ness!

That must suck, because dear Madam Pomfrey was pouring milk and cereal in his bowl. "Severus, Vitamin D is important for you! It develops strong bones, and it is found in dairy and sunlight. Bless Muggles for observing that!"

Vitamin D eh? Snape was certainly lacking that. No wonder he broke his arm in five seperate places.

So he nodded his thanks and with a very forced smile, picked up the spoon and had some of the Sorcerer Crunch (complete with marshmallow cauldrons! Its Magically Delicious!)

Meanwhile...

"Hey Harry..." Ron whispered from across the table. "Take a look at Snape. He looks really pissed again today. And we have double potions!"

Harry turned to look at the staff table. He observed his dear Professor's signature 'Look O' Death' and shrugged. "I wonder what he is pissed about every morning"

If only you knew Harry.
