Snape had trained me for a month and I knew all of the spells except for one.... Ashudur Repulise. This spell could seriously injure your opponent, depending how hard you say it. It's a deadly spell. The requirement I had the struggle with was the pronunciation. It was a word that must be rolled off the tongue as a French, Korean, and Spanish word would be... It was like a pronunciation requiring all three language pronunciations, although it wasn't a word in these languages. I couldn't do it, no matter how many times I tried.
Today, I had so much rage in me. My only student friend, Hermione, was called a mudblood by Draco Malfoy. I never felt so angry in my life. I was in Defense Against The Dark Arts with Lockhart and we were doing a dueling club thing today.  Snape had brought Lockhart flying across the table in the example. I had a stiffled laugh. Lockhart was now going to choose two students to duel. "I will choose one student and your potions professor will choose the other student... Now... Draco Malfoy," Lockhart said, waving for Draco to go up. Proudly, Draco walked up, standing at the middle of the table. Severus said, "Miss. Oglesby. Come up... Now..." I rolled my eyes and walked up, angrily taking my spot across from Draco. Lockhart did the countdown and Draco shot a spell, shouting, "obliviate!" I blocked it... Remembering how angry I was, I shouted a spell I didn't mean to. "ASHUDUR REPULISE!!!" I watched Draco fly across the room, hitting the wall hard. He went unconscious. Snape was shaking his head in disappointment, but had a look of pride in his eyes. I was taken to Dumbledore's office, being pulled firmly, but softly by my collar by Severus. I sat down as Severus had to explain everything that happened. "It is up to the Malfoys what will happen to you, but as of now, I don't think you meant to hurt him, so you can stay... But that would be my decision," Dumbledore said, looking frustrated. Before I could catch myself, I blurted, "Oh I did it on purpose." Dumbledore said, "go to your dorm then. The professor's and I must discuss your condition." I sighed and stormed out of the office, leaving to my dorm. I layed down and broke down crying. I didn't want to be expelled... I wanted to stay.... I needed to stay.... I didn't want this to be the last time I see Severus and Hermione. I didn't want to stop learning spells. At that, I fell asleep.
I woke up in Dumbledore's office. "What the-?," I said in exhaustion, feeling dry tears on my cheeks. "Severus brought you here... You wouldn't wake up," Dumbledore explained. I nodded, looking around. All the professors were here. I looked around, seeing them all aviod eye contact... Severus looked straight at Dumbledore, straining himself to avoid eye contact. I was about to cry, seeing everybody's sad faces... Only Severus held a regular, emotionless face. "What is this about?," I asked, tears filling in my eyes from anxiety and fear. Dumbledore nearly whispered in sadness, "you're being expelled Miss. Oglesby." I felt my face turn pale and I didn't realize I was crying before I ended up sobbing. "No! Please! This th-this can't be possible! Please! No!," I said, sobbing. I looked Dumbledore in the eyes, seeing tears slowly fall out of his eyes. "We need your wand to discard it," Dumbledore said, looking down. I shakily pulled out my wand and Severus said coldly with hate in his voice, "I'll take it and discard of it." Everyone trusted Severus and I gave him my wand, crying harder realizing he still wouldn't look at me. "Go pack your things... We'll give you time to pack your things and you'll be leaving tonight," Dumbledore said, sadly. I stood up and was attempted to be hugged by McGonagall, who was crying hard, but silently. I softly pushed her arms away and walked out of the office. As soon as the door closed, I ran to my dorm. I fell to my floor, sobbing... I couldn't believe this. I was actually leaving... I packed my things and fell asleep for an hour. I woke up and looked at my clock. I had a few hours to say my goodbyes.
After explaining everything to Hermione, I left to the dungeons to speak with Severus. I knocked on his door... No answer. I opened the unlocked door... No one was there. I figured he would be in his private quarters, so I snuck there. The only teacher that noticed me was McGonagall, but she said nothing and allowed me to go. I kept walking until I found a platinum labeled door reading "Severus Tobias Snape" I knocked, but there was no answer. Desperate, I opened the unlocked door. I walked in, but he wasn't there. I took in the surroundings of the room. It was cozy. Sev- I mean Snape,  had a large bed with black covers. There was a black desk. Everything was black. Feeling his dark eyes, watching me, I turned to see him sitting in his chair and looking at me. When I looked at him, he looked down. "What... Are... You... Doing... Here," Snape miserably grumbled.  I replied softly, "you weren't at your classroom and I wanted to say goodbye." Snape slowly nodded and said, " alright. But not here. That is highly inappropriate. " We walked to his potions class and he pulled a chair for me next to his leather chair. I sat there, silence for a few moments. I pulled out the book I've been using to train and was going to pass it to him. He put his hand over it and pushed it back over to me and softly said, "keep it... So you have a way to remember me if we never see each other again." He sounded .... Broken hearted? I nodded and put it back in my robe. "Evelyn Oglesby, report to Dumbledore's office," McGonagall's voice weakly said, over the speakers . I stood up and said, "well that's my cue." I felt tears fall down my face and Severus stood up with me. I immediately hugged him, not thinking. I cried in his chest. He was surprised at first, but hugged back. I looked up into his eyes.. He was... Crying? "Remember me" I whispered. Severus kissed my head softly and weakly said, "always. " We let go of each other and I walked away, looking at Snape one last time. At that, I walked away, crying all the way to my room. I grabbed my bags and carried them with me to Dumbledore 's office where Hagrid was. Dumbledore attempted to hug me, but I declined his hug by taking a step back. Hagrid softly said, "alright. We better get ya to the station. Come along, Evelyn." I nodded and walked beside him. I saw Severus and as we passed him, I waved slowly and he looked down. I thought I heard him softly sniffle... Was he still crying? We arrived at the waters that take us to the train and I got in the boat. "Ya can sleep if ya need to, Evelyn. It'll be a long ride," Hagrid softly said, rowing the boat. I slowly fell asleep in the boat.... Sleep would be nice now I guessed.
