The past few months have been terrible. Professor Snape has had it out for her since the start of the term – more so than usual. He never calls on her, and is dismissive when she asks pertinent questions. If she does one thing wrong, he disappears her potion before she can fix it and she gets a zero for the day. He doesn’t treat any of the other students that way – not even Harry. She would probably have a Troll in the class if it wasn’t for written exams, which Professor Snape still grades harshly.
