Chapter 7
Amanda felt nervous. Snape was obviously not in a good mood today, and she had a horrible feeling that she knew why… She had felt awful last night herself, when she realized that she wasn’t able to go see him, but she had never thought that it would afflict him like this. And now Snape was circling her desk. Did he know it was her? No, how could he? He obviously thought it was Hermione. Or at least he did yesterday…
She noticed, however, that he didn’t care about Hermione today; maybe he didn’t think it was her after all? But why was he circling though? He walked around the classroom, but somehow he always ended up in the back where she and Lavender were working.
Lavender nudged her, and she realized that she had forgotten to stir the cauldron for a while. She shook her head and started stirring. Lavender yelled out: “No, it’s anti-clockwise you idiot!” Snape stared at them, and Amanda’s face turned red. He came towards them. “Miss Brown and Miss Greene, what seems to be the problem here?”
Amanda froze and stopped breathing, but Lavender had no problem speaking. ”It’s her!” she pointed at Amanda, “She’s ruining the potion.” Snape looked at Amanda, and then at Lavender. “Well isn’t it good that you are here to see to that things are done properly then? Ten points from Gryffindor for disturbing the class! Now get back to work.” He walked away from them.
Amanda felt relieved and could finally breathe again. She went back to stirring the cauldron while Lavender was cutting the ingredients. It wasn’t long, however, before Snape was back. Why was he doing that? Then she saw it. He was looking at Lavender! What in Merlin’s name did he want with Lavender? He seemed to suddenly have become obsessed with her. Did he think it was she who had been sneaking into his office, or was something going on between them?
Lavender was of course the biggest slut at Hogwarts. There wasn’t a boy at the school over fifteen she hadn’t kissed or gone out with. Lavender was also the only one who had dared to speak during today’s lesson, but Amanda had thought that was because she hadn’t noticed his mood, or was just incredibly stupid. Amanda noticed that she once again felt extremely jealous. Yesterday it had been Hermione, today Lavender. What was it about the girls in this class and Snape?
The rest of the lesson Amanda noticed that her teacher was looking at Lavender every chance he got with the same searching look he had given Hermione the previous day. If he wasn’t doing that, he was walking around the classroom, and mostly behind Amanda and Lavender. Lavender on the other hand, didn’t seem to notice. It seemed that Amanda’s impression that Lavender was in fact just stupid was correct. If anything was going on between them, she would not be able to hide it. Lavender was okay that way.
A tiny smile appeared on Amanda’s face, but she was growing restless inside at the thought that Snape obviously was considering Lavender for some strange reason. She needed to stop this. She couldn’t let Snape know it was her, but she couldn’t let him go around thinking it was Lavender or Hermione either.
That evening she stayed in her bedroom practising the disillusionment charm. She was doing a lot better, but not nearly well enough. What if she suddenly became visible when she was still with him? The longest she had managed to make herself invisible was twenty-seven minutes. And that was not enough time considering everything she wanted to do with Snape. But the girl needed to let him know that it wasn’t any of the two girls he had thought it was. Maybe she could go down there for a short visit. Just to tell him and maybe give him a little kiss? She longed to kiss those lips again.
She decided to give it a try. The Gryffindor walked down to the bathroom near the dungeons, and put the spell on herself. She walked through the corridor, her heart pumping faster as she approached his door. She paused for a minute outside the door and then opened it quickly and walked into the office. She disarmed him, and cast a freezing spell so that he couldn’t move.
Amanda went up to him and placed herself behind him. She lent in on him, nervously stroking his hair away from his face and whispered in his ear: “I’m not who you think I am. You have been wrong in you assumptions.” Then she kissed him. “If you behave, I’ll be back,” she whispered and walked to the door. She turned around, released him from her spell, and ran away as fast as she could so that he wouldn’t follow her.
She didn’t lift the charm before she stood on the outside of the portrait hole. She gave the Fat Lady the password, and climbed through. She went up to her dormitory, threw herself on the bed, digging her face in her pillow and let out a shriek of joy. She had done it! She had actually done it. She felt like she was walking on clouds.
But twenty-seven minutes wasn’t nearly good enough. She had to do even better. She found the book with the description of the charm, looking for any helpful hints she could find. She stayed in her room reading the book, and made different parts of her body disappear. Then she made her whole body invisible and started timing herself. She picked up her school books, and started doing her homework, regularly checking if her body wasn’t showing.
Parvati and Lavender came into the room almost two hours later, and Amanda froze. It wouldn’t be good if anyone knew what she was doing, and especially not her two gossipy roommates. She tried to stay completely still until they had gone to bed. Then she packed her things away as quiet as she could and sneaked out of the door, hoping she wouldn’t run into Hermione on the way.
Amanda hoped they hadn’t noticed anything, but she didn’t worry two much. Those two girls weren’t exactly known for keeping their eyes open to those kind of details. She looked at the time. She had been completely invisible for two hours. Amanda's heart leapt. She had never stayed in the dungeons for longer than that before.
She lifted the charm, and went happily down to the common room. It was too late for her to go see him tonight, but she was determined to do so the following day. This time it was going to be even better. She was sure of it. She sat down at an empty table and finished her homework. She didn’t even care that Harry was sitting in an armchair by the fire ignoring her.
The next day flew by. The lessons seemed to become shorter and shorter as the day passed, and from what she had heard Snape had been in a much better mood today than he had been for days. Amanda liked hearing this, because she didn’t know how things would turn out if he had been as grumpy as he had been lately. She used all her free time that day doing homework. She did not want to sit in the library or the common room doing homework tonight. She had better things to do!
