Chapter 125

Chapter 125

The Easter holiday was going to be ending soon, Snape was personally wishing it could last longer then it had lasted so that he would have more time away from the school, he had to report to the Dark Lord and he had to report to the Order. Snape though had one important task to accomplish after coming back from the Easter Holiday that was talking with his fifth year students about what career choices they wanted to go into once they left Hogwarts.

Snape had of course talked to the Order; he had found Molly Weasley there with Tonks and Sirius in the kitchen. The others had yet to arrive.  The meeting did not last very long since so many of them had things to do and it was going hard on the Order, they were still out numbered by the Death Eaters by three to one, and rounding them up was proving hard, since the Ministry was flatly refusing to believe any of it and was working with some that Snape knew were Death Eaters, although Fudge was still completely blinded to it, Snape would have liked to use the crucio curse on him, just because the man was so short sighted and completely irritating. Those Snape thought were his good qualities.

Snape had come back from the meetings feeling fine; it seemed Harry had yet to tell his godfather and Lupin or anyone else from the Order about invading his memories uninvited. Snape had gone to work getting ready for the start of classes that would be starting come Monday morning. Snape felt a bit of dread having to see Harry envisioning him smirking and laughing at him with his friends over what had happen to him as a teen at the hands of his father and friends. Snape felt a sick knot in his stomach over it, he didn’t need to be laughed at as an adult, it was hard enough as a child, but to have it continue now would make it all seem a hundred times worse, to feel as though he was being tormented by a new generation. It was not long though before Umbridge had sought him out asking him if he had delivered her letter to the Dark Lord. Snape assured her he had and that the Dark Lord was pleased. Snape turned his back on her; he knew she couldn’t say much since the Dark Lord favored him over her and several others.

Snape had set up the list for the day and times for each student to meet in his room He knew that Umbridge was going to be sitting in on Harry’s meeting with McGonagall. She told him all about her plans for it in the teachers lounge when she had given him a scroll to be handed to the Dark Lord in the first place, she didn’t want to use owls with this one, she had told him, although he suspected she was just looking for an excuse to talk with him, whether he wanted her company or not.

 Snape did wonder whether or not Harry had told the Gryffindor house about his memory but since nothing had yet reached his ears, he figure that he had not yet said anything, Snape had figured he was waiting for the Easter Holiday but that didn’t seem to have happen then either. He was he had to admit baffled that Harry had yet to tell the others all of this.

Snape put it out of his mind as he got ready for sleep, he was skipping dinner, he was tired and the Easter Holiday was so busy that he didn’t get the rest he had hoped for.

Come Monday morning, Snape had a meeting with Pansy Parkinson; he wondered what kind of ambitions she had in mind.

Snape sat in his office, when Pansy came knocking on his door.

“Come in,” Snape said in a carrying voice. Pansy walked inside looking as always a smug pug with a bone.

“Hello Professor, how are you this morning.”

“I’m fine Pansy sit down,” Snape told her softly, “So have you thought about what career you’d like to achieve after you leave Hogwarts?” Snape watched her as she looked even smugger, the bone must have grown in her mouth, thought Snape.

“Oh yes, I am going to be a house wife to Draco, we’ll be so happy.” Pansy smirked.

Snape raised an eyebrow at her, Wonder if he knows this? Snape thought with a small grin on his face. “Well Pansy that seems like a…. interesting choice but is there anything you might want to do before marriage?” Snape asked curiously.
