Severus stared down at the new class of first-years with distain. "great another lot of incompetent dunderheads" he muttered snidely thinking of all the inventive ways he was going to torture these newlings. He chuckled mentally, this was going to be fun indeed.
Minerva was on her usual tirade about the houses and where to stand and how to walk and blah blah blah. The students filed in a line and one by one they went up to the sorting hat. The sorting hat stalled everytime on where to put one or the other. Up went Potter, Severus could already tell he was going to be arrogant as James himself, and of course, Potter gets sorted into the Griffindor house, but suprisingly the hat had considered slytherin. Curious...
Then another Weasly, he rolled his eyes. Molly and Arthur really did go at it at rabbits... One would at least think that they would throw in a muggle contraceptive or a spell here or there, he could not understand why they would want so many children. Again, unsurprisingly yet another Weasly was quickly shoved into Griffindor.
The sharp voice of Minerva broke through his mental tirade and Minerva shot a glare at him as she had noticed he was not really paying all that much attention."Hermione Granger!" his head turned from Minerva to the newest member to grace the hat.
A young girl with bushy hair and big brown eyes and a smile that took his breath away. His heart skipped a beat and he felt something pull in him and his long dormant white magic came to life and took him by the throat, made him freeze. freeze as if someone had stupified him. He stared at this 12 year old girl and looked at her as he had only done to someone once before...
Severus was so caught up in is panic that he didnt even know what house the hat had called out for her, only when she walked over to the furtherst table and sat down did Severus realise that she was in slytherin 'shit shit shit' he thought. starting to panic.. he couldnt breathe! it was like Lily all over again, except worse! another torment, another new and fresh way to torture him.
You're only meant to have one! one is all you get.
Thats it. Thats what he read in every book that exsisted on fae magic and quarter or less breeds, he was okay with that. he could live with the fact that Lily wasnt fae or part fae or any fae and that she wouldnt and couldnt ever feel the bond. He could live with his self-loathing and sadness, that was his burden to bear! but this. this was just cruel. this was like a knife in the stomach, a slow agonising death that would never be. He stared at the young girl with bushy hair and brown eyes and a heart stopping smile and the only thing that was left in his mind was 'Mate, right there mate, my mate, mine mine mine!'
Severus came back to himself and realised where he was, In hogwarts, sitting on the professors table, staring at a 12 year old girl. 'shit!' he quickly broke his stare and turned to look at the other occupants of the table.' thank god... no one had noticed.' he sighed... this was fine, he could deal with this, this could be dealt with, as long as he didnt touch her, the bond wouldnt be cemented. He just has to not let her or himself have any physical contact what so ever and this would be fine.
He quickly finished his dinner and swept out of the great hall to his chambers, where he could think. He had to come up with a plan and quick, she's in my house so that means that I will be responsible for her. But that doesnt mean I have to be nice to her either...
i'll just make her hate me. shouldnt be too hard. I'm already the dungeon bat, the evil professor. As a wierd tortured smile pulled on his lips he thought 'yes i can do this. i can make her hate me.'
