Chapter 2 (A Broken Jar)
Sophie rushed off to the hospital wing, practically knocking over a poor little first year on the way. She mumbled an apology & took off running again.
Sophie could only think of one thing, she was going to have a little sister! It would be so much fun! She and Ella could teach her all of their tricks . . . and how to play Quidditch . . . and . . . oh, she was going to be a big sister!
Sophie was so busy thinking about all the things she would teach her new sister that she didn't notice Snape until she ran into him.
Crash! The jar of spiders he was holding smashed into pieces as it hit the floor. There were spiders all over the floor.
"Detention Hammerstein!"
Sophie looked up to see Snape glaring at her, a look of pure hatred in his cold eyes. He probably hadn't forgiven them yet for seeing him in his bathrobe & bunny slippers that one night.
"I'll clean it up," she offered hopefully, but Snape had already pulled out his wand.
"Sourgify." The mess was gone.
Oh crap, she thought this can't be happening. Not now!
Sophie turned around anxious to get away from the fuming professor, but Snape stopped her.
"Just where do you think you're going?"
"Well, I was going to the hospital wing to see my sister . . . you see, I have some rather important news to tell her and well . . ."
She stopped, seeing the look on his face.
"No. You're not. Didn't you hear me? You have detention. Right now."
"But," Sophie protested.
"Ten points from Ravenclaw!" Snape barked.
"But I didn't do anything!"
"no buts about it. Your detention still stands. My office. Now!"
