1: The Interviews
Severus Snape had to admit to a certain amount of trepidation when the
Headmaster asked him and the other Heads of House as well as Professors Tonks,
Weasley, and Hagrid to stay after the staff meeting. Actually, from the looks
Tonks and Minerva were shooting at the door, he felt he could safely assume he
wasn't the only one harboring such feelings.
"Well," Professor Dumbledore began when otheothers had all left, " I suppose you are all wondering why I have asked you
to stay?" Severus sincerely distrusted that twinkle. "It has come to
my attention, especially after the rather unfortunate incident at the end of
last term," there was some uncomfortable shifting at the mention of the
incident at the Department of Mysteries, "that our students perhaps feel uncomfortable
coming to us, I or their Head of House, with problems." Dumbledore held up
a hand to forestall Minerva's angry interruption, "It is not a matter of
ability, or trust. At least not entirely. We simply
hold too much sway over discipline and grades for the students to feel they can
entirely trust us. The incident with Harry only served to prove that there has
been something missing from Hogwarts for some time."
"Well, Albus," Minerva grouched, "You obviously have a plan,
what is it?"
"It has recently come to my attention, via a colleague of mine in America, that there are four young ladies
seeking their Masterships in their various fields. For reasons, I am not able
to go into at this moment. They need to find a place where they may continue
their studies together. Hogwarts is one of the only facilities in the world
that houses so many Masters in so many fields."
"What does all of this have to do with anything?" Severus asked, his
patience wearing thin.
"I'm getting to that. I have it in my mind to appoint these four as Deputy
Heads of House. In this capacity they may act as guidance councilors, in
effect, being here specifically to act as confidantes and advisors to the
students. At the same time, if you agree, they can undergo their
apprenticeships and obtain their Mastership."
"What are their fields?" Severus asked, dreading the answer.
"Miss Jezebel Ravenwood's field is Potions, Severus. Miss Katie Koneko's
field is Defense Against the Dark Arts, Tonks. Miss Molly Kittah's field is
Transfigura, Mi, Minerva. And Miss Megan Nutmeg's field is Care of Magical
Creatures, Charlie." There was a definite look of sadistic pleasure in
Dumbledore's face as he looked at Severus.
"And what if we do not wish to take on an Apprentice, Albus?" Severus
sneered, "What if one of these 'wonderful' young ladies is not up to our
own standards?"
"You of course have the right to deny them Apprenticeship, Severus,"
His voice however gave the distinct impression that this would be a bad idea,
"You do not, however, have the right to determine the capability of the
one assigned as Deputy Head of House. I have already done that."
Severus snorted, but otherwise gave no comment.
"Now I have set up an interview for you all with your prospective
Apprentices. I hope that tomorrow morning following breakfast will be convenient
for all? Fillius, Ceres? Will a meeting after lunch be convenient to meet your
new deputies, for you as well Minerva?"
All nodded, but Severus had one more question, "How come I do not need to
meet with my new Deputy?" His lip curled in distaste for the last word.
"I would have thought that would be obvious, Severus," That look was
back in the Headmaster's eyes, "She is to be your Apprentice."

"Severus," Dumbledore called before Snape could make his escape back
to the dungeons, "If I might have a word?"
Severus sighed, and turned to face the Headmaster. "Of course,
Headmaster."
"I thought I should let you know that your interviewee will not be able to
meet you in the dungeons tomorrow?"
"Why ever not?" Severus asked, irked that he
was to be put through even more trouble bse ose of Dumbledore's harebrained
scheme.
"Madame Pomphrey has informed me that Miss Ravenwood will be unable to
leave the Hospital Wing for at least a week. I do hope it will not be too much
trouble for you to go see her?" His eyes were twinkling again.

"So the four girls are already here then?"
"Oh yes, mostly because of Miss Ravenwood's condition. They've been here
for two days actually."
Severus narrowed his eyes at Dumbledore in suspicion before replying, "Of course
I will be there tomorrow, Headmaster. I look forward to it," He sneered,
then veered off in a swirl of black robes.

At first Professor Charlie Weasley was skeptical when he saw the strange young
woman approaching the field. She was dressed in a flowing, gauzy, pink dress
with a skirt that stopped a goodly way above her knees. Beyond this, her hair
was black, streaked down one side with a sizable pink stripe. Further
intriguing him, when she came closer, he could see her cat's tail and ears, and
finally, when she reached him, her cat's slitted
