A Hogwarts Rose Year 1

Chapter 13

Hey guys I just wanted to say thank you all for reading my story and I know a lot of people don't read the author's notes that we write at the top of the page, but I just wanted to say that I would really appreciate it if you would comment on this story and tell me what you think. Thanks.

It was just after midnight and surprisingly I wasn't bored out of my mind. The Professor had been telling me about things that had happened to her and some of the other teachers. Apparently she had gotten into trouble a bit during her years as a student at Hogwarts.

'I was made to clean all the plates after the feast every night for two weeks.' She laughed.

'I bet you didn't try that again.' I replied giggling, she shook her head.

'No, I admit I didn't.' She wiped a tear from her eye from all the laughing we'd done.

'Hello Professor McGonagall.' I jumped at the cold voice of Professor Snape.

'Hello Severus.' She smiled. 'I assume you are here to replace me.'

'That is correct.'

'Very well then, I shall see you in the morning Miss Partridge.'

'Goodnight Professor.' I smiled then she left.

'I shall warn you Miss Partridge I do not enjoy being here in the middle the night and will not be as humorous as Professor McGonagall.'

'I understand Professor Snape and I would like to apologise for my actions in your class first day of the school.'

'So you should, you disrupted my class, you back chatted me, you embarrassed me and.......... I must apologise too. I didn't realise what Potter was doing and I just assumed he wasn't focusing, but from what I've heard you're earning back all the house points I took from you anyway.'

'I'm trying to.'

'What happened today with the troll attack? Why were you girls in the bathroom and not at the feast? I heard that you had been missing from you last class and know one seemed to know where you were.' He asked confused.

'When we were in charms class Hermione told Ron how to say the spell correctly after he failed to pronounce it. When she was able to perform the charm and he washed got angry and said some not very nice things afterwards and she overheard him so she got upset. She ran to the bathroom and stayed there crying for rest of the afternoon. I went and yelled at Ron when he was in the Great Hall then went back to the bathroom and the troll attacked us.'

'That's not what Miss Granger told us.'

'What did she tell you?' I asked curious.

'She told us that she had gone looking for the troll and was saved by you, Mr Potter and Mr Weasley. Professor McGonagall awarded awarded five points to you, Mr Potter and Mr Weasley, she also took five points away for Miss Granger's lack of judgment.'

'What should we do? I didn't help. All I did was hide.'

'From what I've heard that doesn't sound like you, Miss Partridge.' He said quirking an eyebrow.

'Well, when the troll came in I told Hermione to go into the cubicle and I did the same, then it smashed them and the bits of wood landed on us. I heard Harry shout at Hermione to move so we both crawled under the debris, I stopped when I reached a cubicle that was still standing. Then Ron yelled at the troll to get it's attention and I stood up. I still had my wand and I wanted to help, but then the troll hit the cubicle and that's all I remember.'

'I see, I will go and explain this to the Headmaster tomorrow morning.'

'No, I don't want Ron to get into any more trouble, I already pushed him over, called him names, said he should have been in Slytherin and spat in his face.' Snape looked shocked, then he smirked.

'I didn't think Gryffindors were supposed to do those sorts of things.'

'They're not, I just didn't like what he said about Mione.' I paused before asking him a question. 'How long had you been here before you spoke to Professor McGonagall?'

'Around five minutes.'

'Why didn't you say anything?'

'I thought I'd let Professor McGonagall finish her story.' He replied.

'She said the two of you used to tease each other a lot.' I grinned.

'We still do. What else did she tell you?'

So I listed just about all the things we talked about and I realised that Snape wasn't as bad as I thought.
