Dolly danced into the classroom and Snape watched her with suspicion.

'Severus, we need an extra seat' She called coming to a halt in front of his desk. He glared down at her for a second before answering.

'Why?' he hissed being careful to keep himself away from the smaller female.

'For my friend' She said sounding annoyed as if he was expected to already know about the changes within the vast school

'When they come to lesson we shall deal with it' It was Snape's time to be annoyed now as he settled himself into the seat contend that for once she was not causing mischief.

'But she is here' Dolly called waving her hand in the general direction to her right and Snape looks wondering why the stupid child was pointing at some imaginary person.

No. 41. Insist that your imaginary friend has a seat.

!

Snape stalked into his classroom in a bad mood, something which was not unusual for the dungeon bat. His cloak swished angrily behind him snapping at the air which dared to invade his space with each stride. He stopped as he walked into the door and his mouth dropped in shock at what scene met him. The numbers 4 and 2 were drawn onto the wall in an array of different colors. His cold, black eyes scanned the room surveying the extent of the damage and his eyes rested on the small blonde who was facing the wall. Her body was covering what she was doing and Snape walked towards her his face twisted into a scowl as he moved. Once he was near Dolly she looked up and smiled warmly at the professor for a second to finish painting the number on the wall.

No. 42. Cover his room with the numbers 4 and 2.

'professor'

'No'

'But-'

'No'

'it will be fun!'

'No'

'please'

'No, now stop following me'

'Just pull it!'

'Fine!'

'Yay, now wear this'

Snape glared at the students which have him funny looks and they quickly hurried away. He sneered at the blonde who skipped merrily behind him picking up the paper hat which had emerged from one of those silly muggle Christmas cracks and replacing it onto his head whenever it 'accidentally' met the ground.

No. 43. Run after him in the halls with Christmas Crackers. Insist he crack one with you. Insist he wear the silly paper hat that emerges.

Dolly skipped merrily into the potions classroom and several of the student looked up at the sound of the door opening. Snape looked up as well and sighed as he stopped the blonde arriving in the middle of another year's lesson, although it did not particularly surprise him several of the students looked vastly confused as to her arrival.

'Severus' she chimed as she wondered through the class seeming oblivious to the looks which she received from the class.

'Professor' He corrected not bothering to rise from his seat.

'Professor Severus, How old are you?' Dolly asked and Snape glared at her once again choosing to not answer her questions.

No. 44. Ask him how old he is

Dolly stood stirring the potion thoughtfully concentrating all her attention to the bubbling mixture. Snape watched her curiously; it was unusual for her to be so focused. He carefully trailed towards her stopping at any cauldron which was in the way. Once he had finally managed to reach the cauldron he peered into it observing the bubbling liquid with great interest. Soon a strand of fabric fell in front of his eyes and he shifted his gaze on to it. The strand of yarn jumped and twisted as Dolly moved it in front of his face.

No. 45. When he leans down to inspect your work - pull out a small length of yarn and dangle it in his face as you would a cat.
