The first few hours of her detention was boring, many in Gryffindor were losing hope, they were all beginning to think that she was just going to let this detention slide…keep it on the down low for a while…but Louise had a plan. She knew after her last detention he would be keeping an eye on her….so she decided to leave her plan until he had let down his guard…which over all didn't really take that long. When Snape was convinced that Louise wasn't going to try anything he walked back to his seat…checked it for any pins or sharp objects, then he sat down and began to grade papers. Louise looked over at Snape then up to the wall a few metres in front of him, on that wall she had an invisible log it was tied up to either end of the room, ready to swing down and hit Snape in the head at her will.

She pointed her wand at the invisible log and let it go slowly down towards Snape…she only let it go far enough to blow some papers of his desk, Then she brought it all the way back up and waited until he had bent over to pick them up, with his bottom facing directly at the log.

'Aw this is too good to be true' Louise thought to herself, she waited until he was positioned perfectly, then let the log go as fast as she could, it came swinging down and knocked Snape to his feet.

Louise quickly threw her wand onto his desk, and went back to work. Snape got to his feet and walked angrily towards her.

"Ok Borderlaire, I know it was you!" Snape screamed at her.

"Sir? What was me?" Louise asked.

"You, you did that…the…thing…with….knocking….ground" Snape tried to say what it was that just happened, but the log was still invisible so no matter how much he tried he could never say it the right way…but he wasn't going to stop there.

He went back to his desk grabbed his wand and carefully walked towards his previous position. He didn't say an incantation, he just waved his wand where he believed the hidden object would be…and it was a bull's eye, the large log came into normal view and Snape turned back to Louise with a smug look on his face.

"Care to explain this one?" He asked.

"Explain what exactly?" She said, she was just building him up.

"Why this log here, happened to make its way into my classroom!" Snape yelled at her.

"I don't know sir, but it wasn't me…you know your not exactly the most popular teacher around…it could have been anyone" Louise said, she knew right away she had struck gold, Louise was a good judge of character and an even better judge of reactions and Snape had just reacted the way she wanted him to, he was playing right into her hands.

Louise tried to look sorry and apologetic as she said her next words.

"I'm sorry sir I didn't mean…" Louise said convincingly.

"It's quite alright, just continue with your work" Snape said less menacingly.

Snape picked up his wand once again and attempted to conjure himself a drink, but failed 4 times. Louise smiled to herself, a new opportunity had just shown itself and she was going to take it. She grabbed a truth serum from the shelf and walked towards her distraught teacher.

"Here sir let me help" Louise said almost kindly, she summoned a drink and slipped the serum in it without Snape noticing.

"Thank you Miss Borderlaire, now you really need to get back to work, you have a lot left to do" Snape said as he accepted the drink in front of him.

Louise walked back to her place next to the shelves and waited…it didn't take long for the potion to take effect. Before Louise knew it Snape was in tears. Louise turned around…he wasn't faking they were genuine tears.

'Wow he does have a heart….more or less' Louise thought to herself.

"Sir are you alright?" Louise asked.

"I'm fine its just everything is just getting too hard, everyone hates me…they have a right to…I'm horrible….that's the way I like to be, but they all hate me with a passion, I mean look what they did today!" Snape said referring to the large log that had struck him before.

"I'm sure they don't hate you that much, it was probably meant as a harmless joke…or a dare" Louise said rather convincingly.

"Even so, its not just that…its all this stuff with Minerva" Snape said unwillingly…but the potion had already pulled it out of him.

"Professor McGonagall?" Louise asked.

"Yes, we were involved in a way…a while ago….and we had to end it…for our professional reasons…but it never really ended…its been so hard to see her every day…and not be with her the way we once were" Snape explained again unwillingly.

Louise fought the urge to laugh…she had literally struck gold…nothing compared to what she had just found out…everyone would be laughing their heads off in Gryffindor right that minute.

It didn't take long for Snape to realize that he didn't meant to say that, but the potion was still in affect and wouldn't let him take it back.

"You have worked hard this detention, I think today I might let you go a few hours early, I'll see you in class Miss Borderlaire" Snape said as he rose out of his chair and headed quickly to another room.

Louise didn't wait to long to start laughing uncontrollably. She looked to the corner of the room, where she knew the camera spell was placed; she walked up to it, still in hysterics and smiled.

"You guys better have taped that!" Louise said almost seriously, and then continued laughing all the way back to the common room.
