Nevilles Torment
Breakfast had begun; on the Gryffindor table where the sixth year students where sitting there was an air of excitement. First period that day was to be double Defence lessons. Nearly everyone was looking forward to seeing Professor Lupin again, he was undoubtedly their favourite Professor ever to teach them Defence. If that wasn\'t good enough the fates had somehow put Ravenclaw with them instead of Slytherin. Ron as usual was onto his third helping of a full English and was spraying his classmates with chewed up debris.
\'I\'ll be done in a moment! Then we can go get great seats!!\'
\"Ronald! Don\'t talk with your mouth open!\" Hissed Hermione
\'Sorry. Any way what we got after Defence?\"
\"For gods sakes Ron! We have Potions!\" Snapped Hermione. Harry defused the tension by getting up to leave, with most of his fellow classmates following. Harry, Ron and Hermione did as they intended, managing to get good seats. Once everyone had settled their two Professors walked in. Remus sat at the desk whilst Tirza sat on the desk.
\"Morning class, I\'m sure you\'ll remember me as Professor Lupin and this is Professor Underhill\" Remus started off brightly as he always did, Tirza stood up and began to speak.
\"We\'ve been informed that you have learnt how to deal with Werewolves thanks to a certain Mr Snape, he didn\'t cover it too much I can gather? Well we will be covering it in a bit more detail-\"
\"We have some - er - first hand experience in the matter as it were\" Remus finished off
The lesson went very smoothly, with only Hermione managing to remember how to identify a werewolf. Tirza was finding work fun and easy with Remus, they made quite a team. The students left their lesson in a solemn mood, Tirza had originally though it was because their lesson wasn\'t great.
\"Remus, why are they all so sad all of a sudden? Were we that bad?\" Tirza asked with a bit of worry in her voice.
\"I wouldn\'t worry, it\'s not us. I asked Harry, they have Potions with Severus next,” Remus explained to her
\"Ha! That explains it\"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Severus watched as he walked past the row of students outside his door. The students from the Gryffindor contingent were chatting about their previous lesson with Tirza and Remus. He summoned for them to go in, which they did. He then made his usual dramatic entrance. Slamming the door behind him, then sweeping past the rows of silent students. Best way for students to be.
\"Ten points off Gryffindor\" Severus Barked, all the Gryffindors stared at him in disbelief \"Today you will be producing the growth potion, some of you will most likely find this hard, in fact you probably will find this hard seeing as most of you only just passed your OWLS. Believe me, I only wanted to take extra special students into their sixth year but the headmaster requested that I was a bit more lenient. Yes Longbottom, surely you did not think I actually wanted you in my class? Blame your Grandmother and the Headmaster - I am\" Severus spoke with a dangerous tone, Neville was close to tears but since the incident at the Ministry of Magic last year he had toughened up slightly. Even though he didn\'t cry, Neville did shake. He shook so much he knocked over his cauldron making a loud clattering sound
\"OUT! LONGBOTTOM I\'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR INCOMPETANCE FOR ONE DAY! 50 POINTS FROM GRYFFINDOR!\" Severus bellowed at the child who grabbed his things and ran out the door.
All the Gryffindors looked at one another, not daring to speak. Any word or sound out of turn and they\'d live to regret it. Everyone was glad when the lesson was over.

Dinner at the Gryffindor table was a quite affair; news of the 60 points lost had spread. Not that anyone blamed Neville. They blamed Snape; they loathed him and his Slytherin minions. Neville had only just calmed down from his experience. He noticed the table go silent and he heard footsteps heading his way.
\"Longbottom! Explain the points situation\" Came the angry voice of Minerva Mcgonagall. Neville turned round to face her and then ran off in tears. Minerva didn\'t know what to say. It was just as well that Hermione did. She stood up and strode over to Minerva.
\"Professor I\'ll explain for him\"
\"Miss Granger please do, loosing 60 points - even if it was in potions - is not acceptable\"
\"Well you see Professor Snape took 10 off us for some random reason then he started saying that he didn\'t want most of us in his lesson. Then he looked at Neville and-\"
\"Then his incompetence got the better of him\" Hermione was interrupted by the all so familiar voice of the Potions Master.
\"Severus! If I find you\'ve been taking points for silly reasons god help you,” Minerva whispered to him. He glared at her, then Hermione in turn before striding off back down to his dungeons. Minerva looked at Hermione and asked her to continue.
\"Right - er - well he said to Neville \'surely he didn\'t think that he wanted him in his class and that he had the headmaster and his Gran to blame for it.\' Then Neville was shaking because he was scared and he knocked over his cauldron, that’s when Professor Snape snapped\"
After Minerva had taken Hermione\'s words into account she swept off out the room in the same direction of Severus.

Tirza was walking back to her rooms just after leaving Remus. As she passed an empty classroom she heard a stifled noise. Listening harder she could make out a boy crying. Not knowing what to do she slightly opened the door and called out. The crying stopped. Tirza walked into the room and searched for the person.
\"I\'m here, Professor Underhill is that you?\" Came the small voice.
\"Yeah it\'s me? Who and where are you?\" She whispered. Neville came out from under a desk. Tirza watched as a upset Neville came out, his face was shiny from where his tears had been \"Let me guess? Professor Snape?\" She asked. Neville nodded. He then explained about the years of torment he had received from Professor Snape. How he feared Snape and how Snape always picked on him, making him feel useless. Every time Snape had, had a go at him he wanted to crawl under a rock and die. Tirza was shocked to learn that such a lovely lad would feel this way about one lesson. It made her angry listening to Neville’s words. Tirza decided that Severus wasn’t going to get away with terrorizing a student.
