A/N- Oh my, it's almost 2011 you guys! Are you excited? I am. I already came up with my new years resolutions! 1- To be more polite to everyone I meet & 2- Use better sarcasm (ZING!) Hehe, what're you guys' resolutions for this year? Tell meh! Cause I'm nosy.. :D But oh yeah: New Chapter here! Happy New Year! Oooh, I have SO MUCH planned for this story I think I'm gonna burst! Woot!
Also, I plan to reply to ALL reviews now starting this chapter (Since there's only like 11 so far, I don't think I'll have trouble with it. Hehe, Enjoy my Disclaimer!
Disclaimer: I own only Colin and the rest of Snape's family. The others aren't mine.
Colin's POV
I think my Dad is taking me to his office. Detention already? That was quick. A new record!
"I see you got that tattoo which I told you not to." Snape said.
"Well yeah, it's the shi-"
"Language. And you died your hair. When did that happen?"
"Last week. It is also the sh-"
"Mhm. Well. When do you plan on cutting it?"
"I don't really. I like it. It's hot."
"I'm sure you think it is. Now, more importantly. How did you manage to get expelled from school?" Aaah, his ulterior motive to the small talk.
"You don't know?" I'm actually shocked. Mom didn't mention how I got kicked out in the letter? Huh.
"No."
"Okay.. Well, it kind of has to do with Justin. And before you get all angry, I'm not blaming him. Me getting kicked out was 110% all my fault." Yeah, I can be responsible when I want to be. No need to look so shocked, Father.
"Alright.. Continue."
"Some kids were trying to hurt Justin, threatening him and stuff. I told them to back off, and they said no. I asked again, nicer, honest! And they still didn't. So I broke a couple of bones and was on my way with Justin in tow. I was just looking out for him. Seriously, the kid's always getting hurt.. And I got expelled for doing that in a semi-violent manner. Simple as that." I wait for the anger, and the lecture that's sure to follow.. And I'm waiting.. And waiting… What's taking to so long?
"You broke their bones?" He looks alarmed. People usually do after I tell them I break bones when angry. Tough crowd.
"Not big ones! Just like their noses and that's it. I didn't insult their Moms, threaten to piss on their graves or anything!" Which is much worse than broken noses if you ask me. It's all about MAN PRIDE.
"Is Justin okay?" I look up and see that he's worried. Justin is his favorite. Now, I know it's not fair to say that, but it's true. Justin gets good grades, cleans, and is basically an all around normal kid. And I have green hair, a smiley face on my neck and a strange outlook on people and things in general.
"Yeah, he's fine. But Father! What about your dearest, elder Son? Look! Those bullies scratched me right HERE!" I showed him a little scar on my arm. Kind of in the shape of a swirly if I move my arm a little.
"Is that all?"
"Well, the other one is in a less decent place, but if you really want to see the damage…"
"No, never mind. I'm glad you're okay."
"Right, uh, no problemo. Hey, can I go now?" I'm not very good with what people would call "Father Son Moments".
"No. I'm not finished with you yet. You're still in trouble."
"What's my sentence?" Here it comes..
"No Hogsmeade weekends until next year and I want you to go to the library and help put away books, and dust the place. I also want you to send apology letters to the parents of those boys."
"But.." I try to give him my best pout face. It works on Mom every time. & yes. I AM manipulative. Very much so.
"You BROKE their bones. And then got expelled. Did you honestly think that you would get away Scott-free from this one?" Yup, yup. He's pissed.
"No.. But they were asking for it! Dad, they were my age. Picking on Justin! And let's face it, Justin's a wee bit small for his age.." Yeah, he's like 5'2''. He takes after Mom for sure. At least we both got her schnoz..
"You're doing it."
"Fine. Can I go NOW?"
"Yes, but do you know the password to the Gryffindor common room? Or where it is, for that matter?"
"I'll find out." I'm leaving now; I'm starting to get claustrophobic in this tiny office. I swear, I honestly don't know how I got put in Gryffindorian or whatever they call it (THE SHARKS!). They're supposed to be brave. One time, Mom made me see a psychiatrist.. Because I'm totally insane and all, and he gave me like a huge list of possible phobias I have. How can someone with so many fears be put into the Brave house?
Ginny's POV
What the? What is that?
Everyone in the common room had stopped talking and looked towards the entrance of the room where a lot of banging sounds had been heard.
"Someone please let me in! I don't know the password! Hell, I only just found out this was the entrance! Come on! Someone OPEN THE DAMN DOOR!"
"STOP BANGING ON ME! I'M SORRY, BUT IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE PASSWORD THEN I CAN'T LET YOU THROUGH!" The fat lady wailed.
And then the common room burst into laughter.
"Alright, I'm coming!" I yelled back. I went over to open the portrait and outside was a very huffy and puffy Colin Snape.
"Well, it's ABOUT time. I was out there for a good seven minutes." He looked around the room. And his face flushed. Everyone was staring and or glaring at him. Man, that boy is good with dramatic entrances.
"God, I know I'm incredibly attractive, but please find something else to stare at people?"
I laughed at the incredulous looks on everyone's faces as they returned to their daily activities.
"You're quite bold, Mr. Snape." I said.
"I am aren't I?"
"Yes...So."
"So…" He looked slightly awkward. We really don't have much to talk about.
"I guess I'll see you around?" I asked.
"I guess so. I'm pretty tired so I'll just head on up to bed." He yawned very loudly and dramatically. And he began walking towards the staircases.
I spotted Sydney by the fire and went over to talk to her. (1)
"So I guess HE," She pointed her head towards Colin's retreating back, "was what that letter was about, huh?" She asked
"Yeah. Can you believe Snape has a family? Ridiculous isn't it?"
"Yeah, I mean-"
"OHMYGOD!" We turned towards the direction of the yelling to see that the Girl's staircase had turned into a slide and I started to laugh because I realized Colin must've tried to go up the wrong one.
"Is there like a bed time? Why can't I go up these," he kicked the slide/staircase, "STUPID stairs?"
"Those are to the girl's rooms. Boys can't go up there. It turns into a slide." A random first year timidly told him, much to the amusement of everyone. Colin's face flushed once more. For such an outgoing person, he really didn't handle attention well sometimes. How odd.
"Well. Someone should really think about labeling them you know." He tried to walk away with dignity, but tripped. Then he made his way up the right staircase.
"Can you believe Snape's kid ended up like THAT?" Sydney said in between laughs.
"He's a joke! I mean, he's hot and all, but what a weirdo!" Sydney exclaimed. And she was right. He was hot.
"Aw, he's not that bad! At least he's entertaining."
"Yeah, I guess... Imagine if Snape had more kids. Wouldn't that be something?" I tried to imagine a bunch of little Snapes running all over Hogwarts and I couldn't help but giggle. Come on. Think of it, it's funny!
"That does sound pretty odd."
"Yeah, especially if they're all similar to the one we know!" And she laughs her high-pitched laugh and I feel a head ache coming on. I love Sydney, but she can be kind of annoying at times.
"Hey, I think I'm going to get to bed. Gotta wake up early tomorrow."
"I'll meet up with you later then." And she turns her attention to Seamus.
Something tells me tomorrow will be interesting.
A/N- Tada! Did you like it? I hope so. I want you guys to know that I did a little sketch of Colin. It's very bad! I'm a writer-ish person, not an artist. BUT I did put it on Deviantart so you guys could see it and get a rough idea of what I pictured Colin looking like. All you gotta do is plug my pen name into the search bar and presto! Bad drawings, yay! If you guys wanna do fan art for the story, that's cool too ;) But actually that would like totally make my day, hehe. But do you know what else makes my day? REVIEWS! I mean, I love love love love looooooove that people are adding the story to their favorites and everything, but you know. Reviews are nice too. :D But Danke Schon Darlings for reading!
(1) Remember Sydney from Chapter 1? She's back! She does have a role to play in the story later though.. ;)
