Chapter 3- Severus Snape

Disclaimer- I don't own any witches, wizards, muggles or squibs in harry potter.

Severus Snape stalked down Hogwarts corridor, his black robes billowing majestically behind him. Passing by him, chattering and laughing with her 2 friends, was a hufflepuff. Unfortunately, her good cheer was not returned, as Snape gave her a detention for making noise.

"Twenty points from hufflepuff. Stupid child. How dare you walk around Hogwarts making such disgusting noises," growled snape, glowering at the cowering 'puff.

"What, that's not fair! There's nothing in the rules that says we can't chat in the corridor after lessons!" Complained one of her friends, bravely.

"Silence, I will not be spoken to by an immature child such as yourself. You should consider yourself lucky to regain use of your limbs if you ever dare to speak to me in such a disrespectful manner again." Snape said this in a dangerous, silky voice, standing tall, and towering over the three girls menacingly.

The three girls gulped, and sped down the corridor, eager to escape the wrath of the evil potions master.

Smirking evilly, Snape continued his journey towards the headmaster's office. Suddenly remembering why he was going there, his mood dampened even further. The headmaster had some issue with the potter burden, and for some reason unknown to him, had decided that he needed to know the details about it.

Snape growled, making the students whimper, and quickly make way for the irate professor to pass. Before he had even arrived at Hogwarts, the brat was already causing trouble.

"Bloody nuisance," muttered Snape under his breath, feeling angry.

Finally, he arrived at the gargoyles outsold the headmasters office, and groaned, inwardly. The damn coot hadn't given him the password to enter staircase leading up the office. Scowling, Snape thought hard about what the password could be.

"Lemon drops," said Snape to the gargoyle. He was sure it would be right. The idiot was obsessed with his muggle sweets, so he was certain tha he would have used it for a password.

As he had assumed it would, the gargoyle skid out the way, allowing him entrance. The man truly had to secure his office, he thought. It would be only to easy for death eaters to break into the man's office. Snape glided over to the door, the office, and rapped sharply on the door five times.

"Come in Severus," came the voice from inside.
Snape put down his occlumency shields, and put a blank mast into his face, before lifting a single hand, hardened from years of potions and brewing, and opening the door.

"Good afternoon headmaster," snape greeted, coming straight it to the point. "What is so important that you needed my assistance?"

"Ahhh Severus! Good afternoon. Humour an old man and take a lemon drop!" Dumbledore gestured towards the bowl of sugary confectionary, his blue eyes twinkling cheerfully.

"I have not left several highly explosive potions on the status charm for the joy of coming to have one of your bloody muggle sweets," answered snape rudely. "Now get on with it old coot."

"Very well Severus. I have had some concerning letters from Mrs Figg, expressing her worry for harry. She seems to be under the impression that the dursleys are inappropriate caregivers for him. I would be truly grateful if you could take a few minutes this evening to check on him for me." Dumbledore spoke calmly, as if he was asking something as casual as the weather.

Almost choking, Snape replied," NO! I refuse to let that freak ruin my evening. I refuse. I don't care at all about the whelp, and I refuse to go and take time out of my precious evening to check on the spoilt brat. He's probably being pampered by his doting relatives."

With that, he walked out the office, glowering. The door slammed shut behind him.

"Severus!" called Dumbledore, softly. "Do it for Lily."

Pausing, Snape scowled. Manipulative bastard, he thought. "Fine," he yelled, feeling defeated. "I'll go check on the brat. But don't expect me to coddle the little whelp." With this, he stormed down the corridor back to the dungeons, to prepare for the journey to number 4 Privet Drive.
