I looked down at the list again, wondering which prank I should do first. I sighed and folded the paper, putting it in my pocket. It was weird, I had always tried to impress the teachers. Now I was trying to do the exact opposite. I didn't know how I felt about it, but to be honest, at that moment, I didn't really feel anything at all. At that moment it was not a big deal.
I forgot all my thoughts when I actually ran into Snape. I didn't actually see him, I only saw a tall dark figure. I was taken by surprise. Loosing my balance, I started falling. With reflexes like a snake, Snape took a hold of my arms, and dragged be back up before I fell.
"I suggest you watch where you're going, Miss Granger" he sneered, dark eyes staring into mine. Not exactly sure what to say, I shrugged my shoulders and just looked at him, apathetic.
"Well? I thought such a little know-it-all like you would be capable of pronouncing words" he sneered. I felt no anger what so ever towards Snape, but I felt the paper lying in my pocket. Then I felt something rise within me. I didn't know what it was. Adrenalin? Mischievousness? I embraced the feeling, thinking that poor Snape was not going to have a fun year. I might as well ease him into it.
"I believe you ran into me as well" I replied. Snape raised a brow in what only could be read as anger and slight surprise.
"Excuse me?" he asked silkily, but his calm voice was dangerous at the same time.
"Oh, sorry" I chuckled lightly. "I believe you ran into me as well, sir" I answered with pressure on the last word, not really knowing where my cheek had come from, but enjoying it the same. The only visible reaction I got from Snape was his jaw clenching just a tiny bit.
"and I believe that it would be wise of you to watch your cheek, or would you like a detention?" he asked, his eyes glowing dangerously.
"I will not sway from your words of temptation" I exclaimed dramatically. How was this, eh Ronald? Was I still a bore now? Snape stared a bit shocked at me for a moment, at a loss of words. He quickly gathered himself.
"You will not what?" he asked, studying me.
"I seem to be repeating myself quite often in your presence. There is no shame in being in need of a hearing aid, you know" I commented innocently with a smile. Again, I saw that clench in his jaw and those glaring dark eyes, but they didn't scare me at all.
"I seem to be repeating myself too, I believe I said to watch your cheek, Granger. Do that, or you will serve detention, and believe me. I will rather enjoy it. " he said, sneering. I felt a sudden urge to try to look at my cheek, but quickly realized that would make no sense. I wondered where that urge had come from, but shook my head and answered Snape:
"Well, I'm glad you enjoy my presence, old-sevvie-pal" I said, smiling innocently, and punching Snape playfully in his arm. Snape glared at me.
"What did you call me?" he asked, his eyes twitching. I held in a laugh.
"What do you mean, Sev?" I asked, acting innocent and confused. Again, Snape glared at me.
"You just earned yourself a detention, my office tonight. You WILL refrain from using such dreadful nicknames" he barked. Again, I felt that urge and decided that it was best not to call Snape a nickname again. Then I remembered the first prank on the list, and I got confused.
"Nicknames?" I asked, surprising myself by my quite impressive acting.
"DO NOT play dumb with me, Granger. Do you take pride in being such a huge imbecile?" he sneered, eyes boring into mine.
"Sir" I started, trying my best to do what he said and not act dumb. "It seems like you've gotten the impression that I would give you enough thought on my spare time to actually give you some sort of nickname. I can assure you that this is not the case" I said, rather convincingly, looking at Snape with a fake hint of confusement and worry in my eyes, staring at him as if he was going mad. Snape looked like he was going to yell at me, but he stopped himself, growled, and started to storm away. Then he suddenly stopped and turned around.
"When arriving at my office tonight, do leave this… new attitude you have gotten behind. I find you insufferable enough with your know-it-all attitude, already" I nodded to him, deciding to get rid of this attitude before 8 pm. Again, I felt the parchment in my pocket. I quickly started grinning widely. Snape's brows furrowed, and he narrowed his eyes. He shook his head, before turning around. Again I remembered the first prank on the list, but Snape had told me not to call him nicknames. I smiles as I got an idea. He was about to walk away, but stopped when I shouted:
"You got it, Severus" I hadn't used a nickname this time, but it still irritated Snape.
He slowly turned around, and spit:
"You will refer to me as professor!" he glared at me, but I didn't even wince. I just kept that grin on. "Would you stop that ridiculous grin, you absolute imbecile!" he sneered. Not even thinking, I stopped grinning, but showed my teeth instead, leaving me looking like a complete idiot.
"Have you gone mad, girl? Stop this now!" he exclaimed. Again, I did as he told me, but started making grimaces instead.
"15 points from Gryffindor!" he barked.
"For what?" I asked, now pouting like a small child, which seemed to aggravate Snape just as much as the grin.
"For disobeying a professor, now get it together, if you don't want to loose another 30 points!" I straightened up, and started walking past him.
"Sure thing, professor" I said sarcastically. Snape quickly grabbed my wrist, stopping me from escaping, and forced me to face him. His face was just centimeters from mine, as he studied me. I smiled to him. A look of absolute disgust filled every inch of his face. Then he stood up straight again, as he dragged me with him the same direction he came from.
