First class
Severus Snape lay in his bed and starred at his ceiling. He woke up an hour ago and had hoped that he would fall back to sleep but his thoughts run wild. Although he finally got the defence against the dark arts position last year his private quarters were still in the dungeons. As head of house Slytherin, he had to be close to his little snakes just in case something happens. No one outside the house of Slytherin knew that this was the case pretty often. Many of his students came from unstable and not loving families since the Dark Lord married off his followers to each other without considering if it is a good fit. Most of his student’s parents hated each other and in extent their kids too. It was almost every night he had to calm one of his younger students after they had nightmares and he made it a priority to spent some of his free time with his students, since some of them had no one else who cared about them, so that they know they can always come to him. Never in his wildest dreams had he thought that Harry Potter the bloody golden Gryffindor would show up at Hogwarts looking like he did last night. What the hell was going on with that prat. He looked like he hadn´t eaten in months. Snape thought as Potter´s teacher it was his duty to figure out what´s going on. Even if he would hate every minute of it.
Sighing he gave up trying to sleep and took a long hot shower instead. His back muscles started to relax under the hot water. He washed his hair and stepped out of the shower grabbing a towel and drying himself. After he tucked his towel around his waist he stepped to the sink and brushed his teeth. Against common believe, he always had taken good care of his hygiene, but the potion fumes had made his hair greasy since he had spent so much time around potions when he teached it in the past. Since he changed subjects last year, he was happy to see his hair looked good most of the time. Sure, he still brewed in his free time since he just loved the art and he had to brew many a potion for the Dark Lord, but his general appearance was much better now. He stepped out of the bathroom and did a quick tempus spell. It was almost time for breakfast, so he dressed and made his way to the great hall.
He sat down at the head table and for the most part made a point of it to ignore his college´s. He let his eyes roam the room and when he came to the Gryffindor table, he caught himself looking for Potter. When he found him sitting there with his two loyal sidekicks, he had to admit that Potter did a magnificent job with his glamours. He was still pondering what happened to the boy who lived, and he decided he would have to talk to the brat.
After breakfast he made his way to the DADA classroom on the second floor. When he came in his students already sat behind their desks. His first class of the year was his 7th year Gryffindor/Ravenclaw class. In the past Gryffindor and Slytherin always had DADA together but the animosity between the houses became so great that it was decided that it was necessary to separate them in classes where they had to use their wands. He hid his surprise when he saw Potter and his friends sitting in the front row. Usually, they went for the middle row and he was sure Potter and Weasley would have liked to be in the back, but Granger would not sit so far from the teacher, afraid of missing something.
“This year will be your hardest year at School. In your 7th year the teacher alone decides what to teach and I decided to teach you thinks that will actually help you when you leave school. We are at war and your biggest priority should be to know how to fight, protect yourself and the ones you love and to learn more about your own magic. You can learn to sense magic around you, so you cannot be taken by surprise should someone attack you, but only if you know your own magic completely. If you were to be successful you will find that you can influence the potency behind your spells and how to create and form better shields.
The material you learn will be far more advanced than before. Last year you were introduced to silent spell casting. You learned how to do a few spells. The first trimester we will focus on duelling silently which is far more difficult than doing one quick spell. You must focus for a long time and under the pressure of attack it is very hard not to lose concentration. I don´t expect anyone to do well for a while.
The second trimester we will focus on wards. It is essential that you ward your house so no one can enter without your permission. You will also learn how to ward your fireplace and although it is easier than to ward a hole property it is done much different. There are many different wards, you will have to work hard to keep up as we have no time to repeat.
In the third trimester we will focus on your magic and how you control it.” He glared at them again an evil smile forming on his face.
“Let me warn you that if you don´t keep up I will remove you from this class. I don´t know if you are aware but you will only be allowed to take your newts if you, over the year achieve at least an E. Every assignment will be marked with the newt system, so I recommend spending extra time for your homework. This is true for every class you want to take the test in. But in the first three weeks in this class, we will repeat a few necessary things just to make sure everyone in this class is able to do them right.
Next to everything else you will also learn new spells. We will only once do them in class, I will tell you the spell and it be your responsibility to read up on them and learn it on your own. You will hand in essays that will go into your grade as well. Three weeks before your examination you will each have a privet lesson in which you will perform every spell that is tested. So, if you can´t do it then you will have a little more time to master it.
Professor Dumbledore also decided that after the next three weeks evaluation is over the student who is most advanced in this class will become a student teacher. If you are picked you will have to spend extra time preparing lessons for 14 classes, research in the library and you will have to spent time with me learning what you are going to teach to your fellow students in advance. This again is the case for all your classes, but I am sure the other professors will mention it as well. Are there any questions?”
He looked around the room watching the students shaking their heads.
“Good I want you to read the first 2 chapters in your book and wright a summary at least 3000 words. Class dismissed.”
He watched as his students got up and headed to the door.
“Potter!! Stay behind.”
Harry looked at his friends but told them not to wait.
“Potter I want to talk to you tonight after dinner. This will not be detention just a talk. Be there at seven thirty!” And with that he strode out of the room.
After transfiguration Harry, Ron and Hermione sat down at the Gryffindor table for lunch. Harry threw up an muffliato so they could speak without interruptions or the risk of getting overheard.
"Did you know that we had do have at least an E in class for being allowed to take our newts?" Harry asked. Hermione and Ron shook their heads.
"Well, that kind of sucks doesn´t it? I have been doing bad in my classes for a reason. I want to get my newts but I also don´t want to lose the advantage of being underestimated. Now what?"
"Maybe you could talk to Dumbledore about it?" Ron asks. Harry shook his head.
"Why not?" asked Hermione.
"I´m not sure Mione, lately I have had the feeling that I shouldn´t trust him too much. You know he doesn´t have to know everything." Harry tried hard to suppress his anger, but Hermione saw his eyes go a little darker.
"Harry what is going on? We are your best friends. You are not telling us something!" She accused.
"Yeah mate, just spill it. You know she is going to bother you about it until you do."
"I just don´t know if I can. Don´t get me wrong I trust you guys but…",
"No but! You either trust us or not, there is no but and I think we have proven to you time and again that we are with you." Hermione started to get annoyed.
"Alright I´m going to tell you everything but I have to ask you a few things first and I want to trust your word but… well…"
"What?" Hermione asked.
"Would you be willing to take veritaserum?" Harry was nervous. He desperately wanted this to work. Hermione looked at him, a calculating look on her face. What was up with her friend?
"I Think I would be willing to do that." she said.
"Oh?" Harry asked.
"Yes, but when were done you have to take it too. We ask you what we want to know and then you tell us what this is all about. No more secrets Harry, I mean it. I´m sick of it." Harry thought about it.
"What about you Ron?" Ron shrugged.
"I don´t know mate isn´t that a little extreme?" Harry frowned.
"Look Ron there are a few things that you don´t know about yet. I´m not entirely sure but this could be huge. I need to know a few things. To be completely honest I´m not sure who to trust at the moment. I want to trust you unconditionally I do but there is just too much at risk." They looked at him. Harry could see the hurt in their eyes, and he felt guilty immediately, but he couldn’t back down.
"Alright mate I do it but only if we can do what Hermione said and ask you questions as well." Harry sighed in relief.
"That’s only fair I guess” he said, Hermione smiled at him.
"When?" she asked.
"I´m not completely sure. Definitely today but Snape ordered me to the Dungeons at 7 after Dinner. Wonder what he wants".
"Hey guys were `s everybody?" Ron asked. Harry looked around. There were the only ones left in the great hall.
"We should go. We talk more at dinner." Hermione said and together their made their way to charms.
