Chapter 8: Millicent

Millicent had long ago decided what she wanted to do. She had a problem however. She needed to get something personal of Snape's. How was she supposed to do that?

Remembering that Dobby had agreed to help them out before, she was wondering if she could somehow get Hermione to convince Dobby to actually STEAL from a professor. That had been difficult to do. But when Dobby found that she WAS in fact going to return the item, he had no qualms about helping.

"I think you should use his hairbrush!" The girls were naming things that Millicent could use. That was Luna's idea.

"Well, I could, but he could easily deny it belongs to him." Millicent said.

That was the tough part. She needed something that belonged to Snape, but it had to be something that by looking at it, everyone would know that it did, in fact, belong to him.

"Well, I could use his wand, but there is no doubt in my mind that he would have me expelled and then kill me." Millicent was rambling. She was stuck!

"If Miss would allow, Dobby may have an idea!" he then instantly disappeared. Only seconds later when he returned, he had something in his hands.

"OH! Dobby! You are BRILLIANT!" Hermione cried.

"Um, Hermione, it's only black cloth." Replied Millicent.

"No no! Let me see that Dobby," taking the object from Dobby, she laid it on the floor. "Now look at it."

"Hermione! You're right! Dobby IS brilliant!" Millicent ran to Dobby and gave him a hug that left him gasping for air.

"He's the ONLY one who wears this, in the entire school. Anyone would know by looking at it that it's his! Thank you, Dobby!" thanks to Millicent's raving, Dobby's face was now a fetching shade of scarlet.

"You are most welcomes Miss." He replied.

"Ladies," Pansy said, "I believe we've found our item."

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

That morning all eight girls were up, showered and heading down to breakfast (not together) before most people were even awake. During breakfast was the only time for Millicent to toy with Snape.

She stood off to the side of the hallways leading to the Great Hall, she waited for Professor Snape to walk past her. She then counted to ten before making her way to breakfast behind Snape.

Arriving in the hall, she quickly made her way to her house table where Pansy was saving her a seat. She wanted to wait until most of the students and professors were seated.

When it looked as though everyone that was coming to breakfast was already in the room, Millicent reached under the table for her bag, she then slipped the black cloth into one of her pockets.

She then began to do something that most people (especially girls) have done many times. She was attempting to get Snape's attention without calling his name, or speaking very loudly.

Glancing up at the Head Table, she sat up as tall as possible in her seat, then,

"PSSSSSSSSSSSSSST!" she hissed, trying to get her professor to look over at her. "Psssssssssst! Over HERE!" She was saying it loud enough so he could hear her. But so everyone else in the room could as well.

"Psssssssssssst! Professor! Psssst! Hey!" by now everyone was looking at her, save Snape. When it was clear to the headmaster that Millicent was trying to get Snape to look over to her, he lightly elbowed the dense professor next to him.

"Severus, I believe one of your students is trying to get your attention." At that Snape looked to his house table, and sure enough, there was a student trying to wave him over.

"Miss Bullstrode, if you wish to speak with me, you will come here. I will not have a student of mine waving her arms around like a lunatic. If it is so important, get up here."

That was what Millicent was hoping he would say. Placing a very nervous look on her face she began the walk to the Head Table. She kept her gaze on the floor, but she knew that everyone was watching her. She couldn't look up in fear of laughing.

Standing now in front of her head of house, she never lifted her eyes to him, she then whispered something that she knew he would not be able to hear.

"Speak up! How do you expect me to hear you when you are talking to your shoes?" Snape was really becoming annoyed now.

"Isaidyouforgotthislastnight." She mumbled.

"By Merlin, SPEAK UP GIRL!" he yelled.

Taking a deep breath, she pulled the piece of clothing from her pocket, she then looked up at her professor, holding the article up, she then yelled "I SAID 'YOU FORGOT THIS IS MY DORM LAST NIGHT!'" she then held up what she had in her hands so he could see what it was.

She also held it so that everyone in the Great Hall could clearly see what it was.

Millicent held in her hands, one of Snape's trademark shirts. The one with silver buttons from the bottom all the way to the collar, a shirt everyone knew no one in the school wore, save the potions professor.

She then tossed the shirt to the professor whose face was going through many different colors. First white, to green then red and now it was an impossible mix of all three. As soon as Millicent had tossed the shirt up, she bolted from the Great Hall, not stopping until she was hidden in the trees of the forbidden forest.

There was no way she was going to stand around waiting, just to be yelled at. She knew he would find her to punish her. Or, the headmaster might even do so. After speaking with his potions professor about how it was not proper to have a relationship with his students.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

By now, everyone knew that Snape was being messed with. First his hair, then Miss Chang and her questions, then 'winning' at the game of musical chairs, the engagement ring fiasco, something about Snape being followed around the school by a plant, being dragged through shops with a student and the headmaster, the potions pillow fight, the morning wake up calls, and now this.

As with most schools, stories have ways of getting passed around quite quickly, so it wasn't very strange that people already knew about Snapes nighttime visits from a house elf, even if it was only a few hours ago, when everyone had been asleep. (Save the girls, Dobby and, of course, Snape)

Although no one knew exactly WHY this was happening, and not even knowing everyone who was involved, all four houses, and yes, even Snape's own house, could finally say that the all agreed on one thing.

Whoever was doing this, and for whatever reason, they didn't care. They also didn't care how many house points these people were losing. Every member of every house would happily give up every point they had ever earned, just to have these jokes and pranks continue.

Two unlikely people were having the same exact thought at the moment, although they would never vocalize their thoughts to anyone, Draco Malfoy and Dumbledore both thought that, not only did Snape deserve what was happening, but that in the long run, it would somehow do the uptight professor some good.
