Tobias : Wow, you did say a few hours..

Wulfric : Yes Tobias. I wrote this as soon as I had chapter eleven up.

Tobias : Why so?

Wulfric : So a certain person, (coughjordancough) doesn't bring their pitchforks out on me.

Tobias : Ah.. for your safety then?

(Very large complicated book hits Tobias)


a/n : Thanks to Cuddlebearlove for the 'Snape' idea, though I'm taking a different direction than the one she gave, because this'll be played out.


The next morning Harry went down to breakfast just to grab some toast and his timetable. "Great," he thought. "Potions first thing. Why is it that I get to start out seeing the overgrown bat?"

Too soon though, it was time for the select few who made it into Snape's NEWT Potions to head down to the dungons. Upon entering, Harry realized it was composed of all four houses, with the most being in Slytherin of course. Hermione and him were the only two Gryffindors in there. He didn't recongize the Ravenclaws or the Hufflepuffs, but then again he had never paid much attention to them. Draco Malfoy of course was in this class, but dumb and dumber weren't. Throwing a glare in Malfoy's direction, his attention was brought to the front of the room were Snape came in, cloak billowing behind him. "Makes him look even more like a bat," thought Harry.

" Now, some of you have earned your right to be in here. Others, got in here from frenzied studying for the last five years, and then there was the one who got in on fame.Mr. Potter-Dumbledore, do you know how much of a shock it is to see you in my class?" Snape said.

"Of course I do, sir. What's even more surprising is that I came close to beating your OWL score."

" That is impossible Potter. "

" Oh it is? See for yourself, " Harry said holding out his OWL results which he thought to bring with him.

"There is no way you could come close to my scores. You somehow cheated."

"Bullshit I did. For once without you flapping about this class, I could concentrate and actually do the test. You're just pissed because I , the Golden Boy damned near kicked your ass in OWL results."

"Enough! Mr. Potter - Dumbledore I will not be spoken to like that. You are to get out of this class and not come back till I know you have earned a right to be in here. Also fifty points from Gryffindor. Now why don't you run along and complain to your guardian!"

With that Harry stood, walked out the door and slammed it shut. The entire class could hear him almost shout, "Bloody Overgrown Bat" as he walked down the corridor. Hermione wanted to go after him, but remained behind. She could always teach Harry what the lesson was later.

"Don't a single one of you move, or even breathe for that matter," Snape snapped as he went into his office. He planned on calling Dumbledore at that exact moment. "DUMBLEDORE!" He yelled into his fire.

"Yes Severus?"

" I want to personally see Potter's OWL exam. He does not deserve to be in here, when he has never shown any talent for this subject and the fact that I'm a ' bloody overgrown bat'."

"He didn't say that.. did he Severus ?"

" He most certainly did, along with a few other things, since I kicked him out until I know exactly how he did on his OWL"

"Severus, why can't you just accept the OWL that Harry recieved?"

"Because I can't. And I'm willing to bet he is on his way to your office to complain to his guardian just like I told him to."

Sighing Albus replied, " And let me guess, you stated that in front of the entire class."

"Of course."

" Very well. I will have a word with Harry, if he comes to complain to me like you told him to. And if you must see his exam, I will try and get it sent to you."

"Thank you sir."

Back the corridors, Harry had no intention of going to Albus. It was time that someone pranked the bat of Slytherin


a/n : Ack, another shortish like chapter though i believe shorter than the last one. Oh Well. Snape paid a very lengthy visit. Yes, i'm figuring it to be Harry/Hermione.. and as for Ron.. I'm not sure yet.. I just kinda write as this all comes to me.. i have NO plan for this at all.. kinda just go with the flow.


Tobias : That wasn't nice.

Wulfric : Since when do you care about being nice? You bother me each time I go to write a chapter.

(Wulfric gets hit by a trip jinx)

Tobias : Can't even dodge a simple jinx
