Title: Snape's Private Hell
Author: Madelynn Rae
Description: It appears that Snape has been found out for his position as a spy, and Dumbledore feels he is not safe in the wizard world. Snape is sent to a very unusual place, where no one could possibly find him.
Disclaimer: I don't own Snape, but god I wish I did.
"America?!"
The ancient wizard, Albus Dumbledore, nodded slowly. Pulling out his wand, he transfigured the blackboard in Snape's classroom into a map of the United States. He pointed right in the center, to one of the most unpopulated, unlikely spots in all the world: Northeast Nebraska.
Snape wrinkled his nose in disgust.
"Where in the world is that?" Albus furrowed his eyebrows, looking at the Potions Master as if he'd gone mad. He pointed again.
"Well, right there, of course. Nebraska, USA. You'll be teaching English in a small school in a small town in the Northeastern segment of the state."
Snape sat down and groaned, crossing his arms over his chest.
"I'm taking a break from teaching British, wizard dunderheads, and now I have to teach stupid American Muggle dunderheads," he muttered, taking a sip from a glass of water. Albus shrugged.
"It's a public school, too."
Severus coughed and choked.
"Oh Merlin, you're kidding, right?" Albus shook his head.
The irritable Potions Master rubbed his temples, his eyes closed.
"Can't I just let Voldemort kill me?" The elder wizard narrowed his eyes at the hunched over, defeated mass of black robes in the chair.
"Don't even joke about that. You're leaving tonight, your first class starts tomorrow. The principal of the school has contacted me and owled me the course outline and everything you'll need to know to teach the class. He used to be a student here, I think he was a little before your time, in Ravenclaw. Muggle-born, taught Potions just before moving back to his home town in America. Artemis Lupe?"
Snape snorted.
"I remember... Bloody genius, he was." Albus nodded, then continued.
"The first few months will be focusing on poetry, short stories, then plays, and then the second semester it becomes Speech class, where they learn to write persuasive and informative speeches and give them in front of audiences."
Snape sighed. English? He thought. Well, it's easy enough, I suppose.
Right… easy.
Tell me what you think so far! Right away! I know, I know, original characters aren't quite as good as JK Rowling characters, but she's based on a real person, so she won't be so 'Mary Sue.'
