Detention Essay #6972 - Your account on your attack by Severus Snape - Set by Professor McGonagall

By James Potter

Right. Before I start this kind of pointless detention statement, I just want to list the witnesses.

1. Me, obviously.
2. Remus Lupin

3. Lily Evans
4. Some third year Hufflepuffs who I don't know the name of.

Now I realise my list of witnesses isn't the most encouraging but I can promise you they will all say the same thing.

I was sat in the library (I know, shock) researching the topics listed in the chapter of the transfiguration homework you assigned us to get a better understanding of it, and I was accompanied by Remus Lupin, who let me tell you had a some kind of heart failure when I told him I planned to go to the library. We headed over and found a secluded corner, the only other people were the said Hufflepuffs sat at a table doing their own homework. We'd been there for about an hour, and I must have written at least half a dozen notes by that time, which I'll show you later. Lily Evans had joined us because she was suspicious of me since obviously, what could James Potter be doing in the library? Studying? What has the world come to? Okay yes, any other day I would be planning a prank or something in there but not today, I actually was studying. She was watching over us and suddenly in through the door came the fat greasy head of Severus Snape. I turned around for a second when he walked in and rolled my eyes, carrying on with my reading. He whipped out his wand and started shouting like a madman. Not far from the truth, he is crazy. Anyways, Madam Pince came over and started shouting at him for interrupting the peace and quiet. (She was watching the whole thing because she also apparently was shocked to see me doing some innocent reading on an innocent subject.) Then out of nowhere he shouted an array of curses and hexes at me, and about halfway through the delightful savior of this story Lily Evans had managed to fire a Protego, but not before I was struck with a particularly nasty hex, cutting open my leg in multiple places. I am currently sitting in the hospital wing writing this by the way. Now back to these notes I said I will show you later, I will warn you they do have some blood stained on them because either my siphoning charm wasn't strong enough or It was just too late for my poor unfortunate notes, so if you could please try and fix them I would be most grateful. Now back to the situation, Pince used expelliarmus on him and Remus, who has apparently been practicing from Lily, sent him a rather strong bat-bogey hex which I beg you not to punish him for, because A) it was amazing, and B) It was most definitely self-defence. And so this is what happened, I have the ripped shirt, blood covered notes and a leg wound to prove it. Plus all my witnesses so don't even begin to let him tempt you into thinking I had any fault in this.

by a practically fatally wounded James Potter.

Comments: I have been made aware of the situation by a vast amount of people and there is no evidence to support Severus Snape. And for the record, I am very proud of you for studying and advancing on the subjects I have set for you. Come down to my office later and show me these notes And I'll see if I can salvage the majority of them. Signed: Professor McGonagall

Madam Pince's report on the incident between Severus Snape and James Potter in the library.

About 2pm, James Potter walked through my library doors and instantly I was suspicious, which I think is understandable. Normally he is up to no good here, but Remus Lupin had accompanied him so I was slightly less suspicious of him. I know Remus Lupin is here all the time for innocent reasons, but his reputation as one of the marauders precedes him. I have learned to expect the unexpected from them. However, it seemed that he had honest to Merlin come here to actually study transfiguration that I assume was set by you Minerva. I decided to keep an eye on them and Lily Evans later walked in and joined them. She seemed to have the same thoughts as me and decided to stay with them. About an hour later, Severus Snape had barged in, probably denting one of the doors with his aggression and started threatening them and shouting nonsense. Now I had to do something, this mad child was endangering three innocent Gryffindors who had just come in to calmly read and take notes, as a prefect and both Head students should. He fired a particularly cruel assortment of spells at him which luckily Lily Evans had attempted to counter with a Shield charm, although unfortunately he had still been hit by a few, and his leg had been slashed open, dripping blood all over his beautifully written notes and his transfiguration books, which I have decided to replace for him. I unarmed Snape and Remus Lupin sent him a powerful bat-bogey hex, which I do commend him for. I have sent Mister Potter on his way to the Infirmary and sent an order out for new transfiguration books. I  only hope you can fix his notes Minerva  because the dejected look on his face when he saw them was undeserved and rather heartbreaking. Punishment better come to Snape, or so help me I'll be dealing with it myself.

Written and Signed- Madam Irma Pince.
