Chapter One
It was another bad day for Severus Snape. Like so many days before, he had been teaching Potions, when one of the dunderheads blew up a cauldron. What made it worse was the fact that it had been his Advanced Potions class. At that level, this wasn't supposed to happen.As if that had not been enough, the explosion had torn out parts of the classroom wall. It was pure luck that it had been the wall adjoining the hallway, and not the wall adjoining his quarters.
Normally he wouldn't be this annoyed about an explosion (yes, his students would say differently) if it was because the student was just rubbish at Potions like Longbottom, or had bad luck with an ingredient like Goyle last year. No, the reason why this particular blew up annoyed him was because of Harry Potter and his out of control hormones. He was so busy checking out Pansy Parkinson of all people that he added the frog toes three steps too soon, therefore creating a volatile mixture.
All of them had been lucky that he had been watching the idiot and was fast enough to cast a Protego around the children. It had taken every ounce of magic and concentration he had and he was nearly burned out from using such a huge amount of magic. His fear though of losing all these children in such a big blast had been an amazing catalyst for his magic. Most of the children would have probably lost a limb or two, but Granger and Weasley would have been dead on site. And Potter of course, but really, who cared.
So, after getting all the children to Poppy, so she could look them over, he had thrown Potter out of Advanced Potions for good and had started on cleaning up his classroom.
The idiot would have actually never been in his class if it hadn't been for James Potter. Apparently the Idiot-who-defeated-Voldemort wanted his son to follow in his footsteps and become an Auror. Without a Newt in Potions though, he couldn't achieve that. And with only an E in Potions, young Potter would not have been eligible to join. So in true Pureblood fashion, the Potter patriarch had basically blackmailed the Headmaster into blackmailing the Potions Master at Hogwarts.
Severus had begrudgingly allowed it and thought it would be fine, since the boy was stuck like glue to Hermione Granger. He figured that maybe her smarts would rub off on Potter. But of course, the idiot was quite resistant to knowledge.
He had thought that would be the end of today. The boy would be punished and life could go on. Minerva would annoy him once or twice about letting the boy back in, he would say something rude and a full blown out fight would ensue between them. Then they would make up (No, not romantically!) over her excellent Scotch and get roaring drunk., the Headmaster would frown at Severus for being mean to Harry Potter and life would go on.
All of these nice plans, though, had been destroyed not five minutes ago, when he had felt the Headmaster shove through the wards to his office. He had thought it an emergency when he had felt the Headmaster working on the wards of his private office.
Normally his office would not have been this heavily warded this badly with him inside, but he had gotten an unexpected visit. He did not want any of the other teachers walking in on their conversation, so he had raised all of his wards.
He had quickly looked at his companion, basically picked her up and threw her into his private chambers. He told her that the Headmaster was at his door and not to make a sound, use magic or touch anything in there, because of his dark magic artefacts. They both knew what everyone would assume if they found her in his private office.
He closed the door, raised the wards leading into his private chambers and sat down at his desk, facing the door. He casually flicked his wand, letting the wards down. He didn't want the Headmaster to destroy the wards, they took time to create.
When the door opened, Severus Snape was expecting the worst. He saw the Headmaster come in, with such a grave expression on his face that it made his outfit look completely out of place. The yellow robes with the lime green stars and the purple belt made him look like the clown at a children's party, minus the make-up. He even wore a matching, purple hat with yellow and lime green stars.
“Good evening, Severus” spoke the Headmaster before Severus could say anything “I took the liberty of bringing our guests down here instead of ordering you up to my office, since I figured you would be too tired to make the trek. The Potters are here to talk about you banning young Harry from Advanced Potions.”
Severus sighed heavily. He should have seen this coming.
“Well, then, lead them in, Albus.” He answered reluctantly, emptying his mind from any thoughts regarding his companion, in case the old man decided to try and read his thoughts.
Albus turned slightly away and waved his hand in a come-forward-gesture. Severus watched the Headmaster step aside and Lily and James Potter walk in. Or, in James case, strutted in.
Lily was, as always, beautifully put together, her red hair shining in the dim light and her green eyes sparkling out of her stunning face. Snape unwillingly remembered the last time he had seen that shiny hair, clutched in his fists as he was riding her from behind. He could feel his cock swell up. And then he remembered how she sounded like a squeaky children's toy when being rammed full of cock.
While that memory was playing in his mind, he felt a surprised presence in his head withdrawing, barely catching the stiffening of the Headmasters shoulders.
That's what you get for spying on peoples thoughts, you old coot, thought Severus maliciously. He turned his eyes back to the Potters and finally acknowledged the couple standing in front of him.
“Well, get on with it, Potter. What do you want? Ah, wait, I think I already know. I am supposed to take Potter back into Advanced Potions.”
“Of course I want that! He shouldn't have been thrown out of that class in the first place!” Potter answered angrily.
“James, please, let´s sort this out without fighting.” Lily interjected pleadingly.
“Without fighting? He is actively trying to destroy our son’s chance at a future! Always trying to find reasons why he should be thrown out of Advanced Potions! He didn’t even want him to be in that class to begin with!”
“First of all, I am not actively trying to destroy your son’s career path. He actually did not have the grades to enter Advanced Potions. The only reason he was allowed into Advanced Potions was because of your underhanded actions. I figured letting him join the class wouldn't hurt too much, he is a -barely- passable Potioneer. Secondly, this is the first time I have thrown him out of my class. The reason why I threw him out you must have seen, since you walked through that huge hole your son made in the wall, and through my equally destroyed classroom! He is a menace, he doesn't pay any attention during class, but rather flirts with the girls. He is disrespectful, distracts everyone around him and never finishes his assignments on time.” Severus snarled, completely exasperated at Potters cluelessness.
“That is normal behaviour for a 16 year old boy! He is acting like a normal boy of his age! He is only distracting those girls because he is an attractive young man! It’s not his fault and nor should it be his problem that you are jealous of his success with women! It´s your fault that you never were attractive enough to have girls notice you! Maybe you should have taken your big nose out of those books, cleaned up your greasy hair and done the same, maybe then you wouldn't be so bitter now! And my son is not disrespectful!” Potter practically hollered at him. That was the last straw for Dumbledore, who decided to get involved before Severus hexed the man.
“Now, now, James, Severus, let’s all calm down! We are here to talk about what happened today, not things from the past!” he chortled.
It was a typical Dumbledore reaction to James Potter’s nastiness. He shot a quick glance at Lily, who looked at the Headmaster with relief written all over her face.
Of course, he thought, that one is afraid I would say something about her. Typically Lily. Dumbledore started to go on, talking about responsibilities and safety in the classroom. Severus, though, was watching Potter closely, the expression on the other man's face priceless when he finally realized that the Headmaster was not going to side with his son this time.
“What do you mean, this is the only thing to do? If he does not get a Newt in Potions, he can’t become an Auror! That is unacceptable!” Potter interrupted the Headmaster.
“Than that is how it shall be, James. This is out of my hands and out of the Board of Governors hands. There is a classroom full of witnesses. We cannot bend the rules anymore. The child has more than enough Newts to get a career in anything else. I am sorry.”
Severus was dancing with joy on the inside. He could finally teach his Advanced Potions class as it should be taught and wouldn't have to dumb down his lessons, so Potter wouldn't kill anyone by blowing up a difficult Potion.
“I can´t accept this! My son...” Potter started, when Lily suddenly found her backbone and interrupted her husband.
“This is enough, James! Harry has done wrong this time! If he cannot stop flirting and concentrate long enough on a Potion, he shouldn't be in Advanced Potions. I know how much you want him to follow in your footsteps and if he wants that too, it is unfortunate for him. But he should not have treated his Newts as a game! I have been telling you both that he needs to get his act together! Now, stop pestering Severus! It is not his fault!” she practically shouted at her husband.
Potter was staring at his wife in disbelief, Dumbledore was staring at Lily like she had grown a second head and Severus was inwardly laughing his ass off at the situation.
Severus started speaking, when Lily finally had enough, grabbed her husband by the sleeve and pulled him towards the door.
“We are sorry for what happened and wish you well. If there is anything we can do to repair the damage, please tell us. Have a nice day!” Lily called over her shoulder at Severus and Dumbledore, while Potter was sputtering that he wasn't done with “Snivellus”. She finally pulled the man out of the office. They could hear her reprimand him on their way out.
The Headmaster lingered for a moment.
“I know it is none of my business, Severus, but about what I just saw in your thoughts...”
“You are right, it is none of your business and I am not commenting about it. Ever.” Severus cut off Dumbledore, before the old man could start a lecture.
“And I would thank you to not waltz into my thoughts every time you want to be amused!”
“Well, it is a bad habit and I apologize. Minerva gets up in arms about it every time too. I am trying to stop it, though.” the Headmaster replied apologetically.
“See that you do.” Severus said. “If that is all?”
“About young Harry. You don´t think detentions for the rest of...”Albus started, but Severus interrupted him.
“If I had not been watching the boy, Weasley and Granger would have both been dead now. He is a true liability in that class. Even Weasley is better at Potions than Potter and that boys head is as empty as one of Sybil's glass orbs.”
Dumbledore sighed and turned to leave, wishing Severus a good night.
As soon as Dumbledore was far enough away to not get suspicious, Severus raised his wards again, took down those to his chambers and quickly walked in.
He looked around his sitting room, expecting her to be sitting in one of the armchairs in front of his fire or looking over the books on his shelves, but she was nowhere to be seen. He walked towards the bedroom door on the other side of the room, thinking that maybe she had had to use the bathroom.
When he walked into the room, he found her sitting at the end of his four-poster bed, facing him. She had obviously been crying, her eyes were red rimmed and puffy. Her lips were nearly blood-red from all her biting and looked bee stung, while her skin was splotchy, with dried tear streaks on her cheeks.
Severus sighed heavily and walked over to her, sitting himself down next to her.
“Do not worry. We will find out what happened, Miss Granger. And if what you are saying is true, than we will come up with a proper plan.” he said to the girl.
