Chapter 8 – Revenge can be Defrosted and Thrown like Mud

When Severus awoke his head was pounding and he was cold from sleeping on the stone floor. Looking at the time he realised that if he didnt get ready soon he would be late for his own class. After hurridly changing his robes and pocketing his wand he stormed out of his quaters towards his classroom; when he arrived a few minutes later he was greeted by laughter exiting the room.

'what are those brats up to now?'

He entered the room with as much finesse as he always did with a loud bang as the door crashed open hitting the wall. The noise causing the students to jump slightly at the sound, then as he continued forward he stopped suddenly at the sound of giggling in the back of the room that was slowly making its was to cover the rest of the students in the class. He noticed that at the table where the hidious noise had come from they students where looking at some partchment. Having a fair idea of what they were looking at he stormed over and snatched the paper away and looked at it with disbelief.

After Snape had left the great hall Hermione finished her dinner then gathered Seleeny into her arms and escorted Colin to her rooms to discuass the article that would be in tomorrow mornings addition of the Daily Prophet. Colin had agreed that the story was front page material, and that all he needed what the story to add the the picture. Hermione, Seleeny and Colin entered her quarters and sat in the commen room on the coutches before Colin extracts sheets of parchments, a bottle of ink and a quill then settles them on the coffee table in front of him and motions for Hermione to start the story.

As Hermione opens her mouth to start the quill dips into the ink and settles ready to write, as she watched this Hermione looked at Colin who srugged.

"I get a cramped hand and this way is much faster."

Satisfied with his answer she took a deap breath telling him about her encounter with Snape with Seleeny adding in the parts Hermione had missed or had not ben presant for. They continused into the night and when they had finished and Colin had left saying he would personally send her a framed copy of the article Hermions put Seleeny to bed and clambered itno her own slipping into a happy slumber thinking about Severus's reaction to her little prank.

"Class dismissed"

Snape shouted at his class and watched as the laughing 5th years ran out of his class some trying to keep a straight face and failing. That woman, this humiliation was her doing; but how was he to get his revenge without god forbid the headmaster "punishing" him. After pacing his office for he had no idea how long he still hadn't gotten anywhere and it was time for his next class.

'I think I'll have a word with miss Seleeny later today' he thought as he turned towards the students glaring and began.

At the end of the day Severus sat in his office wondering how he was going to get Seleeny to help him with his revenge on the "Mistress of Potions" when the door opened and the young lady from his thoughts walked in and poped herself on his lap.

To say the least Severus was stunned.

"And wat may I ask you think you are doing?"

"sittin'" she stated as if it was something she did everyday. " Watcha doin' here all by yourself Snappy?"

'Snappy?' "I was thinking about that fun he shuddered at his own words tea party we had and I was thinking mabye you would like to play again some time, what do you think?"

Seleeny's grinned before hugging Severus and yelling yay on the top of her lungs.

"But first would you like to help me play a trick on your mum, It'll be fun what do you think?"

Severus got a 'Hmm' in return and moments later received a grin and a nod.

"Ok you got any ideas?"

"I gots one" she said dragging the O in one. "Hair" she said happily, confusing Severus for a moment before the answer fell into place.

"Her hair; why didn't I think of that? Miss Granger was always complaining about her hair during her school years, but how do I work it into the trink?"

Seleeny shrugged and started playing with the potion filled vial's on Severus's desk.

"Watch those" he said but wasn't fast enough as the potions crashed to the floor; Seleeny turned to Severus with the most innocent face he'd ever seen, how was he supposed to fight that!

"Seleeny I'm positive your Slytherin material" Snape accused and thanks to Seleenys "accident he now had the revenge idea but how was he to administer it?

"Seleeny? You know where your mum keeps her hair brush don't you?" Seleeny nodded her answer most of her attention still on the colored floor.

"would you put some powder on her brush for me?"

"how come Mr Snappy?"

he thought for a moment " it will make her hair very pretty, you want that don't you? Then after dinner tonight we can play "tea party" alright?"

"OK" she shouted in joy.

Severus went to his storage cupboard. ' I'm positive I confiscated the powder at some point last year, ahhh here it is' turning his attention back to the girl Severus strode over and placed the container of powder into Seleeny's hand.

"ok i want you to go straight home to put this on your mum's brush , ok?"

"alright" she said hugging 'Mr Snappy' goodbye and skipping out the door.

'This is going to be perfect"
