Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters that you recognize. The new ones are my own creations. The name of the Naked Lady pub I took from a TV program called ‘The A-Team’. Thought if was a wonderful idea.

Friday Morning-Hogwart’s dungeon 4/18
*Sizzzzzzle*
*Schloop*
*Bloop*
Severus raised his head as the odd noises traveled over the distance of the classroom and reached his ears. Before even looking, he recognized the sounds, sounds that were becoming all too familiar over the past few years. He shook his head as he looked up knowing exactly who was the cause it.
Neville Longbottom.
The child’s face froze in horrid disbelief as he tried his best to keep his tears of frustration in check as his cauldron liquefied before him. Next to him, the Granger girl’s eyes widened as she sidestepped the half-melted metal, moving closer to her best friends at the next table.
Even with the brilliant girl’s help, this child was totally clueless. On Jessica’s suggestion, Severus had purposely paired the two kids up hoping that some of Granger’s skills would rub off on Longbottom, but even that experiment seemed to fail. And not that it was for Granger’s lack of trying, she did her best but even her help didn’t inspire the boy.
He sighed and stood up casting his dark, angry eyes on the boy. This was the third cauldron from this week alone that was completely destroyed. He was going to have to owl his grandmother this evening and let her know that there was another need for more supplies for her inept grandchild.
Snape stood to his full height, glaring menacingly as expected. He took a breath and opened his mouth to take away the desired amount of points from the Gryffindor house when he noticed the curling smoke rising from the cauldron. Snapping his mouth closed, he moved from his desk quickly and towards the terrified child.
He felt his pulse start to quicken.
Okay, don’t scare the students too much…
“Mr. Longbottom.” He thundered, causing the child to wince as Snape’s voice deepened in his struggle to keep in control. The professor stormed over to the scared child, his black cloak billowing around him as he rushed to the wide-eyed boy and the remains of his cauldron. The smoke inched closer to Neville but the boy was to intimidated to move away on his own accord. Snape reached out and grabbed the boy’s arm. “Do get out of the way, you foolish boy. I had assumed that by now you would recognize the fact that RED smoke is poisonous?”
Neville looked at his melted cauldron and a look of horror dawned on his face as he jumped back, away from the toxic fumes. Snape waved his hand towards the door quickly.
“Everyone out! NOW!”
The startled students scurried to the door leaving behind their books and personal items in their haste. While they were exiting out of the classroom, Severus, standing well back from the smoke, pulled out his wand and cast a Dissipate spell on the deadly smoke. He kept close watch as the curling scarlet smoke slithered, very snakelike, then he sighed with relief as it eventually funneled it way back into the remains of the cauldron. He deftly placed a confinement spell to keep the deadly gas in place.
“Kids!”
He slumped back into his chair and raised his eyes to the ceiling in mock defeat.
“Only Longbottom could make something deadly out of a simple healing potion.”
He rubbed the bridge of his nose as the stress of the day started to release itself from his shoulders. Soon he would be free for the weekend and would be able to leave and see Jessica. Soon this will be just a faded memory just like all of his other memories of Neville Longbottom.
“Damn!” He muttered slamming his hand down onto his desk. “I forgot to take points from him…”
Aprilgrey: I intend to…have a bit more to go…glad you are enjoying it…
Corazon: I am glad you are continuing to read this mess of mine. Im glad that you are enjoying it. Snape has ALWAYS been a sex god…IMHO…Aerosol cans? Explosions? Hummm…wonder where I can go with that…LOL (Oh...BTW...How are you?)
Seraphina: I don’t thhe ihe is even worried about explaining to her about who he is or where he’s from. It really hasn’t been an issue yet…but it will…soon…just keep reading…another curious one about the exploding cans…hummm…hehe
Thanks for reading and reviewing…I love you all…
