Snape responses

Snape’s response to insult map:

Why, you arrogant, disrespectful little brat! You’ve got some nerve…Insolence towards a professor is a punishable offense.

Choose from a set of three excuses:

1)      I found the map in the library, sir. I was on my way to bring it to Mr. Filch. I heard Peeves tormenting him down the hallway before you “appeared”.

2)      I….I….I can’t control what the map says, sir. I didn’t create it. Fred and George gave it to me. I think they purchased it from Zonko’s.

3)      (holding back snickers) Lighten up, professor.

Snape’s responses to your excuses:

Response 1:

“Sure you were....Potter, you should well remember that I have a near-constant store of Veritaserum and can reveal the truth whenever I wish. Rest assured, if you’re lying to me, I’ll know it.” Snape storms off, still clutching the map.

Now Snape is in the dungeons

Response 2:

“I know your penchant for causing trouble, Potter, as does nearly the entire Wizarding world. Take your purse and head back to your quarters immediately. If I catch you wandering the corridors this late again, the consequences could be dire. And I’m not referring to what I might do to you. These are dangerous times we live in…Keep your wits about you and stay out of where you don’t belong….which is a lot of places.”

Ominously, Snape walks slowly down the hallway. Now you are more suspicious than ever.

Now Snape is in the dungeons.

Response 3:

“I DO NOT NEED TO LIGHTEN UP!!!WHY DOES EVERYONE TELL ME THAT!!Just because I’m pale, dress all in black, constantly look pissed off, have a tortured past, listen to crappy bleeding heart pseudo-punk music, wear my greasy hair down in front of my face, and like the dark does NOT mean I’m emo!!!!

Snape suddenly clutches his head in agony. ‘80 points from Gryffindor!’ he shouts as he abruptly turns from you and walks off towards the dungeons. You can hear him humming “Screaming Infidelities” softly under his breath.

Now Snape is in the dungeons.

“What’s his deal?” says a nearby picture of a man with a twirly mustache and cane.

After all responses:

Your mind is spinning as you gather your thoughts about your encounter with Snape. Why was he so defensive? What happened to his forehead? Had Snape been up to no good or attacked? And what was up with that look on his face when he mentioned your mother? You decide to find Hermione and Ron and discuss.

To the north is the portal to the Gryffindor common room.
