Professor Severus Snape was sick of it, tired of everything. For years now, every day he had risked his life. Always the chance he could be caught out, always the chance his many secrets could be discovered. And what had he got from all this? What possible reward did he get? Nobody knew of everything he had done to safeguard them. Everyone simply hated him, suspected him, accused him of being a spy or a traitor. There was no reward for him, nothing for him to fight for, yet he fought anyway for some reason. Even the Slytherin's themselves had grown somewhat distrustful of Snape as of late, though that was probably more to do with him showing less favouritism toward them over the other houses this term.
With another glance at the clock Snape finally let out a silent sigh of relief. It was Friday and classes were finally over. "Alright...." He walked around to the front of the classroom, standing infront of his desk, arms folded in his usual intimidating stance. "Homework for this weekend....you are to read Chapters 20 through 30 of your textbooks. I expect a detailed summary of those chapters on my desk by Monday morning..." There was a collective groan from the 5th year class, though when Snape narrowed his eyes the groan was cut short. "Any further outburts and I will add another 5 chapters.....now....pack away your things and get going....I suggest you all begin your assignment as soon as possible..." The tall man turned his back to the class, withdrawing his wand from his sleeve to begin tidying his desk.
