Snape's Journal


December 25th, 1997:

I hate Potter.  I loathe Potter.  If I could, I would rid the world of Potter in a permanent way, but I promised Albus I wouldn't.  Me and my big mouth with those bleeding promises!

So last night I went back, and Granger was still alive.  Amazing really.  Either she wasn't hit directly, or she has one hell of a will to live.  Knowing her, probably both. 

She wasn't doing well, though.  The p.t. had worn off, and her condition had degraded even further.  I cast the appropriate charms to reverse the process, then there was little more I could do but wait.

I felt compelled to watch her while I waited.  Maybe it was because I wanted to observe my charge, maybe I was exhausted from a long and busy day... I don't know.  All I know is that as I sat there watching her, I was overcome by memories.  On reflection, I guess she looks a bit like my mother, and that sparked my mental tangents.  I see no need to repeat them here, seeing as they're ingrained upon my memory and not going anywhere.  If they were to go anywhere, I don't believe I'd be upset at all. 

Needless to say, I was in a dour mood as I watched Granger.

So there I was, contemplating the joys of youth and the merriment of adolescence, and suddenly a voice invaded my musings.  Potter's voice.  I looked up and he was sitting there across Granger's bed from me.  He was waiting for an answer, though to what I had no idea.  I shrugged, figuring it would probably be appropriate to the intelligence level of his question.

He looked at Granger morosely, then sulked off to bed as Poppy ordered. 

Shaking my head, I looked down and found myself holding Granger's hand.  I had no memory of doing that.  Realizing I was in no mental condition to be around students, I left shortly after, asking Poppy to let me know if Granger's condition changes at any point.  I doubt it will.

As for Potter, he probably thinks I'm in love with the chit.

Oh, and Happy Christmas.  God bless us one and all.

Oh no... you're disillusioning me... can I find something in there to be the beginning of a spark?

It will come, but gradually. Besides which, it's his journal, so it's a biased view. He HATES Granger, right?

Darn these complicated men... playing mind games with themselves... what depths will he have to reach before he opens his eyes!!

Thanks for bringing my heart out of my stomach... I'll wait and trust!
