After eating Justin gathered his things and began the long anxious trek own to the dungeons to Professor Snapes office and knocked on the closed door. " Enter , Mr. Wellheart! " sounded Snape's voice from beyond the door.

Justin took in a deep breath as he opened the door and entered the room. "Good morning , Professor. " Justin said with a wavering voice. " I hope that I'm not late."

"No, you're actually on time for a change. " Snape said condescendingly. "

You must prepare yourself each morning for the stresses of the coming day. What happened this morning cannot happen again . The minister's office is watching your every move. As it is Minister Fudge has suggested to the headmaster that you be suspended from formal classroom lessons and assign you a tutor to give you your lessons. Dumbledore was able to sway him otherwise. So, with that being said, one more infraction on your part will have you expelled for sure. Shall we begin the lesson for today? "

Justin looked up from the floor and quietly answered , " Yes, Professor, I understand. But how do I prepare? All of this magic business is so new to me.

I've never had any training. Until a few weeks ago I showed no ability. Why does everyone expect me to know everthing? "

"Justin, there is no excuse for you to allow yourself to lose control over your own emotions! " Yelled Prof. Snape. Snape yelling at him startled him and he

jumped. "You have to ignore your feelings or get a grip on them. You can't let little things bother you so much. " As he said this to Justin Snape Got up from his seat behind his desk and began to tease Justin about his crush on Bertie. " So, you and Miss Thornhurst fancy each other do you ? Well, how could she like you ? you're just a skinny little bag of bones aren't you? "Snape said trying to get a rise out Justin.

Justin was becoming enraged with what Snape was saying to him. He could feel his ears turning red and felt body start to shake with anger. Before he could calm himself down Justin shot the professor a dangerous look and Professor Snape was hit by stunning spell an was knocked to the floor.

"That's exactly what cannot happen , Mr. Wellheart! " said Snape as he got up and dusted himself off. " We have an hour so, you better start trying or this is going to be painful for the both of us. "
