Malfoy's Slave (discontinued)

Chapter 3 Severus Snape

I sit on my basement floor, thinking about all that had happened just a few hours before. I was so confuzzled(that means extremely confused) and my head was spinning. I had a massive migraine!

I decided to try and put it out of my mind. After all, my master did day he would explain everything as it came along. And until then, well, I just had to keep on living the crappy life I was. Sigh.

I decided to make the best of a bad situation, and go to sleep. I know what your thinking; 'Some conclusion, eh? Really clever!' but I really was tired. I had to sleep or I would soon not be able to keep my eyes open. Another sigh. I seem to be doing a lot of sighing lately. Maybe it's just my crappy living conditions. Whatever!

I straitened out my bed of hay and lay down on it. I curled up into a tiny ball and closed my eyes. I was so tired that I fell asleep almost instantly! I slept like a log, only to be reawakened again by Narcissa Malfoy. At least thats who I thought it was. I wasn't even close!

I got out of bed and quickly plated my hair down my shoulder. I tossed it over my shoulder so it went down my back and plastered an incredibly fake smile on my face. I felt like screaming, yelling. But I didn't, of course.

Someone was knocking on the door. I hurried up the steps, slipping on the third one from the top. I fell onto my hands and knees, my face in the grime. Crap.

At that moment the person who had been knocking on the door came in. They were a man. A man with greasy, shoulder length, black hair, and a hooked nose.

Great. I just meet a man, and the first thing he sees me do is fall. I quickly pick myself up and brush myself down, hopefully reducing the amount of mud that had stuck on to my old dress. I do a little curtsy. The man snorts then says "Greetings Miss Potter. Such a lovely day to meet such a lovely person. A 'celebrity' shall we say?"

I don't say anything. The man smirks, then says "Very humble, very humble. Your just like your nasty brother, you are."
Wow, he must really hate my brother.

Wait a second. My brother? I don't have a brother! Or do I? And he said I was a celebrity. Really? Me? Just little old Cherry, slave and orphan?

The man chuckles at the confuzzled look on my face, then says,"Im Severus Snape, just one of the many teachers at Hogwarts. I will be teaching you, in fact."

He pauses, the adds importantly, "I teach potions, the ancient art of brewing, boiling, making liquid so powerful it can enchant the mind, make people do 'odd' things. It is a great thing to know how to do and the wizard or witch greatly educated in this fine aspect of magic will go far, I can assure you."

Still, I say nothing. Severus Snape sighs and says, "Pleasure to meet you." Then, without another word, he turned and swept out of the doorway, his cloak billowing outbehind him.

I can hear him talking in muffled whispers to Lucius Malfoy, then to Narcissa Malfoy, them both! Then I hear him state more clearly, "Hello Draco."
And that's the last that I heard of Severus Snape in quite awhile.
