Yeah! Here's the new chapter!
________________________________________________________________________________________
Today was a normal school day, and my classmates and I had just gotten out of yet another class with the dungeon bat, aka Snape. We were in the common room doing the Potions rehearsal the professor gave us today... Well, I was doing the rehearsal. Anthony and Terry were playing chess under Sue's watchful eye, who decided to act as a referee. They will probably do the rehearsal close to the due date, or in Anthony's case, exactly the day before.
"I hate Potions class" Stephen said, as he plopped down on the couch in front of me.
"Did you start hating Potion classes just now?" Corner asked between a mixture of disbelief and sarcasm.
"As if" Stephen huffed, "I just wanted to remind everyone how much I hate the classes of that disgusting and greasy snake"
"Pfff... Disgusting and greasy snake" Mandy chuckled, covering her mouth with her hand.
"Does he know what personal hygiene is?" Morag said, and then started to laugh like that was the funniest thing in the world.
"Someone must have traded in his conditioner for grease" Sue commented, "And he must suspect it was someone from Gryffindor, that's why they're his main targets" and this part was greeted with a nod of agreement from everyone who heard what she said, even some older students.
'Apparently Professor Snape is more disliked than I thought, because even Sue is making fun of him' I thought in surprise, but more at how much he is hated than at how much these children can hold grudges.
"What did he look like in high school?" Anthony then asked curiously.
"Ugly and unbearable" Corner scoffed.
"Annoying, sad and arrogant?" Padma, who was quiet, gave her opinion.
"Well...he was probably all of that...and he probably didn't have any friends yet" Terry commented.
"Probably" Stephen agreed contemptuously.
'It's amazing to think they basically got his personality right, even if it's just the bad parts, just seeing how he acts like an adult...' I thought impressed, 'Although he as an adult looks more like a kid with tantrum when he's having his moments Severus 'I hate everyone and I can show you why I have more authority than you' Snape' I mused.
I may not hate the man, but I have to agree that sometimes... or almost always, he goes overboard.
"And you Ethan? What do you think he looked like?" Terry asked, pulling me out of my thoughts.
"Hmm... Emo?" I shrugged. And those who knew what an 'emo' was started to think, and after a while they nodded in agreement.
They then continued to guess what Professor Snape was like in childhood. And I, who was watching all this from my chair, could only roll my eyes.
"Kids" I sighed.
After a while, everyone calmed down and went back to doing what they were doing before.
After finishing my last essay, I took out my wand and cast a {Tempus}. And in it I saw that it was almost dinnertime.
"What spell is this?" Stephen asked me curiously.
"It's the {Tempus} spell, and it shows the time. It's a basic household spell, and it's in almost every third year spell book," I replied to him as I packed my things.
"It's a third year spell and can you cast it yet?" Stephen asked me in surprise, to which I replied looking at him with a raised eyebrow. He then remembered that I had been doing advanced and difficult stuff at the level of third year spells since the beginning of the semester, "Oh never mind" he said embarrassed.
I then warned everyone that dinner was almost starting, and with that they started to get ready so that we could go to the Great Hall.

When November came, the weather began to lessen, causing the previously cold castle to begin to cool even more. Hallways with large windows brought cool breezes in, which blew in the students' faces. The Black Lake was frozen, the castle grounds were covered with ice and snow, and even the animals in the pen had to be moved from their place so they would not be left in the cold.
And this cold weather, which was bad for many, was very good for me. And I think this is due to my Beast Power, which makes me more comfortable in both cold and warm climates.
I spent mornings walking peacefully around the castle, not worrying about bumping into anyone, as all the students prefer to stay in warmer places like the dorms. In the afternoons I would stay in the common room, the library, the Room of Requirement training or on the patio playing and chatting with my friends. And at night I stayed in the common room or my bedroom, finishing my lessons ahead of time or making plans for the future.
In addition to these things, I would visit Hagrid, who would ask me to have tea with him once a week, and impressively I still haven't found the trio there. I also went to the Forbidden Forest to venture out and get more ingredients, and also to see the Thestrals and the little foal, along with other creatures.
And every now and then I would stop by Myrtle's bathroom to chat with her and to find out about the new castle gossip. And I was surprised to find out that Richard from Gryffindor was cheating on his girlfriend Samaya from Ravenclaw with her best friend... This is like a Mexican soap opera!
Continuing...
The boys and I also spent some time playing in the snow outside the castle. And there was even a moment when Terry and I bewitched Anthony with {Sternutatio} so he'd sneeze all the time, and {Halitus Ignis} which made him spew fire from his mouth whenever he breathed. And putting the two together, Anthony spent the entire afternoon spraying fire like a flamethrower. He was even used by Professor Sprout to melt some snow from the greenhouse, and he even received house points for it.

Hogwarts - Corridors
I was returning with the boys from yet another walk in the school's snowy courtyard, when we ran into the castle's resident Poltergeist, Peeves, who was throwing paint snowballs at the students.
As soon as Peeves saw us he started throwing balls at us too.
"Get out of here, Peeves!" Anthony said as he dodged one of the snowballs.
"Yeah, if not we'll call the Bloody Baron" Terry threatened, also dodging a snowball with pink paint.
"Haha, the little first years threatening me... Tuts, tuts," Peeves said mockingly as he waved his index finger at us. He then started to throw the snowballs even more fiercely.
I stood still as I calmly dodged the balls, with Anthony and Terry still threatening him and telling him to stop. I was calm, but he kept throwing the balls, and by the time he threw the tenth at me I was already seriously annoyed.
"Peeves!" my voice came out in a low, menacing tone, "I suggest you listen to the warning and stop throwing balls at us," I told him.
"Hah! And who are you to…" Peeves began, turning to look at me, only for the words to start to trail out of his mouth until he was silent.
The reason for Peeves' silence was that he met my gaze and froze in fear at what he saw.
I was looking at him with menacingly narrowed eyes, letting some of my magic leak out just to make a bigger impression. And without my noticing my pupils slitted and my eyes began to glow dangerously.
I then looked at Peeves who was shaking with fear and with a half growl I said, "Get out" and that was enough to make him turn around, dropping the snowballs, and run away from me without looking back, disappearing down the hall.
'This should teach him a lesson,' I thought, getting back to keeping my magic at bay with my eyes returning to normal.
"Wow" Terry said, mouth open.
"That was…" Anthony started to say but I cut him off.
"Amazing? Very impressive? Too cool and hot?" I asked with an arrogant smile.
Terry and Anthony then looked at each other and nodded to each other. They then raised their hands.
*Slap!*
"Ouch!"
End.

(End AN: As I already talked about why I didn't post the chapters correctly in the last chapter, in this one I'm going to talk about something very important.
I watched the new Spider-Man movie, and it's... Amazing!
The best Spider-Man movie, and also the best Marvel movie, in my humble and correct opinion.
I got emotional, screamed, cried, and nearly had a heart attack!
I haven't been excited about a movie like this since Endgame and the last Maze Runner.
It was worth all the waiting and stress.
I hope you enjoyed the chapter, and I hope you've seen the movie Spider-Man: No Way Home too!)
