Chapter 12 - Snape' Inspection

'You will notice, that we have a guest with us today.' Professor Snape said in his low sneering voice. Larissa saw Professor Umbridge sitting in a dim corner, a clip board on her knee. 'We are continuing with Strengthening Solution today. You will find your mixtures as you ledt them last lesson; if correctly made they should have matured well over the weekend - insrtuctions are on the board. Carry on.'

'How long have you been teaching at Hogwarts?' Umbridge asked in her sickly sweet voice

'Fourteen years.' Snape replied, his expression was unfathomable

'You applied first for the Defence Against The Dark Arts post?'

'Yes.' Snape said quietly

'But you were unsuccessful?'

'Obviously.' Snape was staring at the wall, and he hadn't moved his gaze

'You have regularly applied for the Defence Against The Dark Arts post since you first joined the school, I believe?'

'Yes.' Said Snape, barley moving his lips, he looked very angry.

'Do you have any idea why Dumbledore has consistently refused to appoint you?'

'I suggest you ask him.' Snape said jerkily.

'Oh I will.' She said with a sweet smile

'I suppose this is all relavent?' He asked, hiss eyes narrowed

'Oh yes. The Ministry wants a thourgh understanding of the teachers' - er - backgrounds.'

'No Quidditch practice!' Angelina cried when Harry, Ron, Hermione, Larissa, and Amelia came into the common room after dinner that evening.

'I kept my temper!' Harry said, horrified 'Angelina, I swear, I -'

'I know, I know,' She replied miserably 'She just said she needed a bit of time to consider.'

'Consider what?' Ron said angrily

'She's given the Slytherins permission,' Larissa added

'Why not us?' Ron said. They could imagine how much Umbridge was enjoying holding the threat of no Gryffindor Quidditch team over theri heads and could easily understand why she would not want to relinquish that weapon too soon.

'Well,' Said Hermione 'Look on the bright side - at least now, you'll have more time to do Snapes essay!'

Ron stared at Hermione 'No Quidditch, and extra Potions. Thats the bright side?!'

'Go and stop them.' Larissa said, she was sick of hearing Hermione sighing, and grinding her teeth.

'I can't. They're allowed to eat them themselves, and the other students are allowed to buy them, as long as they're not proven dangerous. And it doesn't look like they are.'

Larissa looked over, to see Fred and George demonstrating the effects of a Puking Pastil.

'I don't understand why they only got three OWLs each,' Harry said

'They only know how to make things that are no real use to anyone.' Hermione said

'No real use?' Ron said 'Hermione, they've made about twenty six Galleons already.'

Larissa put her charms essay in her bag, and picked it up 'I'm going to bed. Night.' She walked up the stairs and dropped her bag on the floor next to her bed. She got into her night clothes and brushed her teeth. She then got into bed and had too move Snowbelle from laying across her neck three times, before they both fell asleep.

A/N: I got that idea, because when we first got our dog, Molly she always used to lay across my Mums neck.

I hope you liked it
