Chapter 4: The Guilt Trip
"Why you miserable git!" screamed Harry Potter while Ronald Weasley held him back a few feet from their guard to the infirmary. "Why can't we see Hermione but you can! We're her best friends and we actually care about her!"
"It has been stated before, Potter, that under no circumstances that Miss Granger see anybody since she is in a state of shock and hasn't changed in condition for the past three hours. So, kindly refrain yourself from doing anything more rash as to already losing 50 points for using inappropriate language when addressing a professor."
Harry Potter bit back a scream of rage.
"If you have problems following orders again, I will kindly ask Madame Pomfrey to explain herself to you as to why she asked no one to visit Miss Granger. I guarantee she will not be as lenite as myself." With that, Snape turned on his heels and proceeded to go back into the infirmary, allowing his teaching robes to billow as he stepped. Before entering, he glanced over his shoulder and added:
"And for your information, Potter, I am assisting Madame Pomfrey by force, not by choice. I would never want to be near that insufferable know-it-all, even if she is near her death, which you both failed to notice. Some supposed friends you are. You both were probably too pre-occupied by the Quidditch finals to even notice her condition. Oh, well, another 50 points from Gryffindor for not seeing past your two front teeth. That should even things up for Slytherin's win this year." And with that, the door to the infirmary slammed shut leaving an echo and the two very angry, shocked and concerned young men starting at the professor's dramatic escape.
"What a git."
