Wow, I'm actually updating! So here you go…the next chapter of Snape Doesn't Know. And no, Snape isn't gay!

--------/

To look through one's eyes and not being able to see…that is truly an unenviable trait. To be so narrow minded as to be put into a place you despise, and still be able to despise it when you are supposed to have learned a lesson. Ah well, perhaps that is why I write this. Perhaps it does not matter. Still I wish for the world to be right again. Stupid wish hunh? But no matter, it's not like anyone listens to me anyway.

"Harry, mate, are you alright?" Ron asked him with his eyebrows furrowed as his best friend paced around their room. Harry was constantly running a hand through his hair, biting his lip, biting his nails, and looking around wild eyed, "HARRY!" Ron yelled as he tried to get Harry to snap out of his daze.

Harry's head snapped up and he nearly ran into Ron, "No Ron, I happen to NOT be okay," Harry, growled, "I swear, the gods are out to get me. I just know they are. Not to mention this whole thing has got to be hereditary. It has to be. Cuz if it ain't, then I am doomed. Cuz, if it were hereditary, I could make it go away right? Right Ron?" Harry looked hopeful at this.

Ron frowned, "Uh, yes?"

Harry groaned and stomped out of the room. He was definitely doomed. The only person he had ever loved, actually, the only person who had ever made him feel like this, yes well, wouldn't that go over so well? Especially since the library incident. Padma was still thinking that he was crazy. At least, that's what Parvati said.

Harry sneered, hah! Parvati was nothing but a big old gossip. Harry bit his lower lip suddenly. What if Padma had told Parvati? Then the whole school would know! And then they would think he was even crazier. Harry growled. What did he care about the school? Half of them already thought he was crazy.

He gulped, just in case; he would send a letter to see if Padma had told. He was torn from his thoughts by a ferocious hissing. Distracted, he looked down, then crouched down to get a better look at the three foot thing that had caught his eye.There it was, an emerald green streak of a snake with a white diamond on itsbrow was hissing at him.

:Sssstupid humansss. They alwaysss ssstep on the tail:

:I beg your pardon:

:You undersssstand me: The snake seemed surprised. Well, as surprised as a snake could get anyway.

Harry frowned.

:Uh yessss, I undersstand:

The snake paused for a moment than seemed to come to a conclusion.

:Very well then. You ssssshall be my human. You well entertain me:

Harry barely smothered a groan as the snake slithered uo his arm and wrapped itself around his chest. How was he ever going to explain this? He looked at the white diamond on its' brow. Yes the gods were out to get him. If they weren't then why had he met a snake with a white diamond on it's body just to remind him of the person he had a major crush on?

Hermione woke up the day of September 1st in a distinctly unhappy mood. Ever since she had gotten her letter she had wanted it to disappear along with her duties about the Yule Ball. No such luck, September first was still and here and she still going to have to find out whom the Head Boy was. If it was another Slytherin she was so going to resign.

"Oh my dearest Hermione," a singsong voice had her bolting upright thinking of torturous showers and make up sessions with Ginny.

"Uh, don't come in! I'm er, not dressed! So uh, don't come in!"

The door opened. Hermione flopped back against the mattress as she saw Ginny come in with her hands filled with shampoos and make up. Looks like she would be going through tortures this morning.

Yes I know it was ridiculously short, but hey, the next chapter is going to be the longest yet. So you know, patience is a virtue!

Ciao!
