~*~A/N: Okeez, here's chappie 4! My thanks to all that have reviewed! ~*~
~*~ The Other Half ~*~ ~ Potions ~
The next day, Gryffindor ad Slytherin had double Potions class after lunch. While Snape was giving instructions on how to make a sleeping potion, Artimis has her feet propped up into the table and was taking a nap. Unfortunately, in her opinion, all the seats were taken when she arrived except for the one right next to Malfoy, so she had to put up with him for the period.
Maggie was sitting next to Hermione, and they were sitting in front of Ron and Harry. She kept thinking back to what Harry did yesterday, and was blushing like a tomato. She glanced over to where Artimis was dozing, and rolled her eyes. 'Oh yah, Snape'll yell at her in 5…4…3…2…1…' "Miss Crawford!"
Artimis popped open her eyes. "Yo! What can I do for ya?" she made sure to add an extra Southern drawl to her accent, just because she felt like getting on peoples nerves. Snape glared at her. "Were you sleeping this whole time?" "And if I was…?" She glared right back.
"10 points from Slytherin for your cheek, Miss Crawford," he snapped. She didn't even flinch, just smirked and shrugged. Maggie bit her lip as she watched Artimis pop a piece of bubble gum into her mouth and chomp on it loudly, trying to piss Snape off. Everyone else just stared in shock at her, while Harry and Ron silently applauded her under their table.
"Do I need to detain you one evening and work on your manners, Miss Crawford?" Snape walked over to her table and pressed his hands down in front of her feet. "You know something, Professor? I honestly don't give a damn what the hell you do to me; it can't be any worse than what my parents could've done to me back home."
The whole class gasped, while Maggie tried soo hard not to laugh. Snape just stared her down with an even colder glare than he could've ever given Harry. "Miss Crawford, I will be seeing you in detention." With that, he went back to teaching his class, which was all looking at her as she just sat there calmly and drew on her hand.
"What in the 7 Hells were you trying to probe, Artimis?!" Harry and Maggie were yelling at her as they walked out of the dungeon. "I wasn't trying to prove anything, just that I refuse to let him tell me what to do." "But the guys a freaking teacher!" "I know, Ron, but that doesn't excuse him from the lack of personality."
With that said, she ran ahead to meet up with Hermione, who was already working on her Muggle Studies homework, while Ron followed towards his girlfriend. [A/N: Oh, did I forget to mention? Ron and Hermione are dating! There you go, R/H fans! Enjoy that bit of info!] "Well, I see where she gets it from," Maggie laughed. Harry gave her a puzzled look. "Are you saying that I'm like that? I swear, I've never done anything like that in my entire life!" They both laughed and went to join the rest of the group.
~*~A/N: Ok, I know that this was a short chappie, but I kinda lost my creative momentum in the middle of this, so, rather than make you suffer, I ended it quickly. I'll try to make the next chapter longer, I PROMISE! Now, REVIEW!!! Ja ne, minna-san!
