Overly Protective Father Who Will Rip Your Boyfriend Limb From Limb

---------- Fourth Year ---------

Deary Diary,

I think I'm gonna be sick. I can't believe what Scorpius did! He is such an adorable senseless idiot! I love hate, hate, hate him! He bribed Martha into taking all of my knickers out my drawer, and then he made them into a giant coat! That idiot was walking around with a knicker-coat that said “Effie's Knick-Knacks” on it! I am going to snog kill him!

Okay. Maybe I over-reacted. Maybe. I do actually like him, for all he's a Slytherin and a rather handsome one at that. He won't stop asking me out, though how stealing all my knickers made him think I would say yes isn't part of my thinking range. Martha says I should say yes, 'cause if I don't, she will. Scorpius has already told her no about a thousand times. She's the worst Slytherin ever and has no sense of subtlety about her.

Well, if all goes well, I'll have my knickers back by the end of the day and a senseless Malfoy trailing after me. That's just if it goes as I plan. I don't know what will happen if everything goes far too brilliantly. Maybe I'll have Devon trailing after me too. I think I'll stick with Malfoy, though. He's a bit smarter than James Devon is.

Wish me luck,

Effie.

One love-sick Malfoy, a kiss on the cheek and an irate Potions professor later.

Dear Diary,

He asked again. During Potions. Right in front of my Dad. I said 'yes', but that was only 'cause I thought Dad might eat him if he asked me once more. I gave him a quick kiss on the cheek to prove it. Unfortunately, “Professor Snape” caught me doing it, and gave me a detention, along with 'Co. Oh, 'Co is what we call Scorpius for short. We used to call him “Sco'”, but the Gryffindor lads thought we were calling him “Scrotum” so we stopped and called him 'Co instead.

Anyhow, I had my detention, served my time, had a severe talking to in the Slytherin common room and was told not to go out with the Malfoy boy. I told Dad that if I wanted to go out with a Malfoy, then I would. He took three points away from me. He never takes points from me! Something is wrong with him. Mum said it was just the whole "Overly Protective Father Who Will Rip Your Boyfriend Limb From Limb" thing. I agreed, although I did say I hoped he wasn't going to rip him limb from limb. Mum then told me that he wouldn't and that he would just Avada him instead.

Well, tough Pygmy-Puffs. I'm going out with 'Co whether Dad likes it or no, and see if he can stop me!

Wish me luck on not getting killed by my dear father this time.

Write tomorrow,

Effie.

A/N: This is the last of the Miss Snape's Diary series. However, I am currently writing a story entitled Different, which is about Effervescence's seventh year with Scorpius Malfoy, James Devon and a few new characters. The Rogue Death Eaters (which is what Lucius Malfoy was when he attacked Effer) have been strengthening their army and we find out what exactly is so different about Effervescnece Eileen Snape.
