^^Snape > Ginny^^

Snape's POV

I made my way towards the dungeons, it was Thursday and i had classes to prepare for.
I stopped when i saw Ginny Weasley being cornered by Lavender Brown and her friends in the distance, I made my way over to intervene. They had her up against the wall and had stolen her bag. They began emptying the bags contents and throwing the books and other possessions to the ground, "Ugly ginger loser!" A blonde spat, "She's crying!" Brown laughed evilly. "WHAT THE DEVIL IS GOING ON HERE?" I roared snatching the bag from the blonde one, they knew they couldn't talk their way out of that one. "Detention for a week with Filtch, and I will be contacting your families!" I sneered, actually I quite enjoyed the terrified looks on their ugly little faces. "GET OUT OF MY SIGHT!" I spat and the three girls ran down the corridor.

"Are you alright Miss Weasley?" I asked bending down to help her pick up her things, she looked at me with sadness in her eyes and a forced smile. Of course she wasn't ok.
"Do you want to talk about it?" I inquired, trying to seem nice. I was never very good at that kind of thing. She looked at me in surprise, "yes...no. I don't know?" She sighed and threw a book in her bag aggressively. "Do not take the things they said to heart Miss Weasley." I said trying to comfort her, "They're right though, I am an ugly ginger loser." She said sadly and marched off down the corridor with her head hanging low.
She isn't a loser, her brother Ron is a bloody looser though.... And she certainly isn't ugly, she is beautiful in every way possible.

"Severus!" I heard Minerva screech as she approached me, "yes, Minerva?" I sighed, rolling my eyes at the irritating woman. "I just saw one of my students coming from this direction in tears! What it Merlins name did you do this time?" She spat venomously. "I assume you're referring to Miss Weasley?" "Severus, you know very well it's Ginevra!" The old witch moaned, how could I ever win? If something goes wrong I always get the blame. "Actually, on this occasion you are wrong Minerva. I caught a group of girls assaulting her and punished them accordingly." I smirked as her face fell in embarrassment. "My apologies Severus, I was being presumptuous." She said pleadingly, "yes, you were." I seethed and walked away before I said something I know I'd live to regret.

I arrived back in my classroom and checked my stocks in the potion store, I had 6th and 7th year potions later in the day. Which is always a pain in the backside because I often have to diffuse something between Malfoy and Potter. I worked my way through a pile of papers, I had to grade them in time for the class later this afternoon. I scoffed when I read Grangers paper, she is such an insufferable know it all. I can't deny her paper is worthy of the highest grade though so i reluctantly awarded the mark to her. Finnegan's was dismal as usual, as was Longbottom's. By the time I got to Ginny Weasley's i was bored beyond belief, I was rather impressed by her work. It wasn't Granger standard but it was still passable.
