So, I'm all alone today as my family left to work or school. That means, more time for chapters! And thus, this guy that I like asked me to this thing but I couldn't go. =( that makes me depressed. So I will sit here listening to Katie Perry One that got away. I feel like that happened to me now. I hate this! Well, I have to act happy while typing this chapter so SMILE!

I'm a sad Slytherin.. I don't own Harry Potter, I would kill him if I did. JK Rowling owns him.


She glared at him with a burning hatred as he carried her to a large gargoyle statue… Snape stood there for a moment in thought, "Sherbet Lemon." he muttered under his breath. Jess started to crack up. A strong, rude, firm Professor saying Sherbet Lemon was a funny visual. He thumped her on the back of the head with his free hand then carried her up the stairs. "Can I just say in my defense that this was Zackary Pieper's fault?" she asked as Snape knocked on the only door in the circular room. The door opened automatically and he carried/dragged her in. Albus was sitting at his desk, feet up, and lemon drops in his lap. "Severus what brings you here with a small child?" he asked casually. It was as if it was a daily thing with him, "I found this one and a few others who took off trying to break into the third floor door on the right. I was only able to catch this one." he said. Jess looked from him to around the office. It was small but then again bigger than any office she had been in. There were lots of weird knickknacks and breakable looking things. Albus sighed as he set his feet down and stood up, "Ms…."

"Vance, Jess Vance." she muttered. Snape looked down at her then up to Albus, "Are we forgetting the rules here Albus?" he asked. Jess glared up at him while Albus chuckled, "Oh, Severus it's her first day here. They want to explore the castle, you wanted to do the same thing when you were her age I'm sure." Severus shook his head as Albus leaned on his desk. "Okay, Ms. Vance it is against the rules to go out after ten. Besides, what made you want to try and go into the room that I said not to go into?" he asked. Not a word he said sounded harsh. They sounded like how a loving Grandfather would speak to his grandchildren. Jess had no answer to give him, she had no idea why they would want to even try and get into that room. Zack was messed up, her only conclusion. She felt her robes being tugged up, "Albus, you can't let this go. I already gave her detention." Snape growled. He was rude and harsh, nothing like Albus was. What have I done to this man to make him hate me so much…? Did my mother know him, is that it? My dad couldn't of have, he's muggle. Maybe uncle James did something… "Albus I found these students trying to get through the Slytherin dormitories." McGonagall was standing in the doorway with Zack and Katie in front of her. Zack had a stone cold look in his eyes while Katie had tears silently falling down her face. Jess shook her head at them but said nothing. Albus sighed, "I'm guessing those are your friends." he whispered to Jess. She nodded, "My very best." Severus smirked at her and her friends, "Albus, don't you see. They all should be punished."

"Now wait one second! The only one who should be punished is me! I was the one who suggested that we tour the school so I should get all the blame!" Zack snapped at Snape. Jess and Katie nodded but Albus put his hand up, "Since Ms. Vance has already been put down for punishment, Severus take her back to the dormitories. You two have to stay to discuss your punishment." Severus tugged on her robes and dragged her down the stairs. Jess could hear Zack start to argue as Katie just stood there with her head hung, she was probably staring at the floor and trying to think of how to pin this all on Zack. While in the back of his mind he had a way to try and pin it all on Erin, the Zack Pieper way! When in doubt, blame Erin Bulk, it's the only way to go.

On the way down to the Dormitories Snape didn't make a sound. On the other hand Jess was making a straggled, dieing cat sound. He was pulling on her robes, cutting off her air. She finally had enough air in her lungs to shout, "LET GO!" He glanced back then slightly eased up on her robes. Air flooded into her lungs, "Air." she whispered in thanks. Snape rolled his eyes in annoyance as they stopped in front of a portrait, "Password?" It asked. Jess was taken back with the large portrait talking to them, she had never seen one do that before. It was beyond amazing for her. Snape looked down at her but realized she didn't know it, "Pureblood." he mumbled. The portrait opened and he tossed her in, "Saturday Night is your detention!" he shouted while the portrait closed. Jess sat there in anger as it filled her head, Who does he think he is? I'll show him, I'm not someone to mess with. Mark my words Snape! And with that she walked to her rooms, pulled off her robes, and passed out onto her soft bed.


I hate to make Snape out to be the bad guy. It pains my heart and I don't like it. Also, sorry if this chapter was short, I try to make it at the very least 1000 words. And this time it was sooooo close. To not being that high. Always
