I was walking down the corridor, and thinking about how in Herbology that day we were supposed to be re-potting. I love re-potting, I think it's really good for my blood pressure. I was really excited, and I was thinking all these great thoughts about plants and roots and leaves...

And then all of a sudden...I heard these footsteps behind me.

And I looked and it was Snape! He had this glare on his face, like, like not even a normal Snape glare, but like he wanted to kill someone, really kill someone! And I thought, oh my God. Harry's in the hospital wing. So what if because Snape can't kill Harry, he wants to kill me? Then my gran will kill Snape, for killing me - Gran will go to Azkaban! And there won't be anyone to visit her!

And after Snape's killed me, he'll probably chop me up and use me for potions ingredients! I mean, you'd think it wouldn't happen, but he's Snape, so how are you supposed to know if it would happen, it might happen - he's Snape!

I'd never get to do all that great re-potting in Herbology!

And then I remembered about how yesterday, Seamus had told this joke about Snape and his hair, and I laughed because it was funny, but what if Snape found out that I laughed? What if he was coming to get me? Or what if he knew, about how Hermione looked at my last Potions essay before I turned it in? And I wonderd which he wanted more: to keep his job, or to kill me! He was walking by me, and I thought, he's gonna look at me, I know he's gonna look at me!

And then he just kept walking past me. I don't think he even saw me. And I thought, oh, I'm alive. It's all right, Neville, you're alive.

I can go to Herbology! And do all that great repotting, it's so much fun really. I love re-potting.
