Chapter Two - Writing Activity

In this chapter, Professor Snape vows to assist Narcissa’s son, Draco Malfoy, in carrying out the task he has been given by Lord Voldemort. Think about a tme when you have been given responsibility to care for someone or something. Have you ever baby-sat, or taken a neighbor’s dog for a walk? Perhaps you helped your parents collect someone’s mail while you were out of town? Or maybe you helped water the plants or change your little brother or sister’s diaper. Describe how it feels to be given such a responsibility? Did you make a formal promise to the person, like Snape does with Narcissa? Would you be willing to do that chore again?
