A/N : Okay, okay, I know I'm being naughty and should update Chibi Seiten Taisen Son Goku but I'm having serious writers block, not to mention exams, exams, exams. Anyway, I got this idea while reading Redemption of Athalus by David Eddings.
I've reread the story and realized that people who haven't read the book would be going, what the …. So there's a little theory there that I hope would satisfy you in this rewrite. I actually rewrote this story yesterday but forgot to repost it. Silly me
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or The Redemption of Athalus
Harry stared at the book in his hands in shock.
It can't be that easy!
He read and reread the chapter and considered the theory in his head. Slowly, a very Slytherinish smirk crossed his face.
Maybe it is that easy. I can't wait for my next Legimency lesson!
'Well Potter, so nice of you to finally bless me with your presence.'
Does he practice that look in the mirror or is it natural.
'Do not forget that the only reason I'm doing this is to protect your worthless mind from the Dark Lord at Dumbledore's request. I suggest you remember that the next time you decide to be late for my class. I highly doubt what you were doing is as important as this and I'll thank you not to waste my precious time.'
Blah blah blah blah. This guy really likes the sound of his own voice. And we'll see how important was what I was doing.
'Remember that you must always be on your guard and that….. LEGIMENS!'
How predictable, oh yeah, test new theory, ok, lets see, 2.5, 4.99, 10.23, 194.230984, 283.45345, 23.3421, 345.2345, 3.123, 4.234……
'POTTER!'
Wow, it actually worked, Snape looks like he has a headache
'What the HELL was THAT!'
'Just a theory I was trying out, why?' Ok Harry, do not antagonize the teacher that likes to take points and give detention.
'Forget it, class is over for today, return to your dorm.'
'Yes professor.'
' And Potter… As long as you can apply that theory there will no longer be a need for lessons.'
You don't have to look like you've just swallowed a snail! WAIT, did he just imply what I thought he implied? Yes! No more lessons with Snape!
After Potter had left, Snape took one of the headache potions he kept especially for dealing with Hufflepuffs and Griffindors. Looking at the fire from the chair he had thrown himself in after Potter had left he couldn't help smirking at the thought of the look on the Dark Lords face after Potter had applied that little theory to his dreams.
Flashback
'Legimens!'
How predictable,
Predictable! Why that little brat…
2.5, 4.99, 10.23,
What the…
194.230984, 283.45345, 23.3421, 345.2345, 3.123, 4.234……
Snape backed away as he felt a headache forming the more he tried to get into Potter's mind. The random numbers not only acted as a shield but it was a confusing shield and as Potter was concentrating on them they were at the forefront of his thoughts meaning that Snape had to get around them before he could read the brats mind. The harder he tried though the worse it became. The decimals didn't help either. In fact they made things worse. Without any order, Snape couldn't find a way to bypass the shield to get a foothold into Potter's mind and his own mind was suffering from trying.
End Flashback
Maybe the little brat wasn't that bad after all.
He will skin anyone who dares to suggest he thought that alive and use their body parts for his potions. While their still living eyes watch.
On Harry's bed, where he was before he realized he was late for his lesson with Snape, was a muggle book called 'The Redemption of Athalus'.
A/N: And that's that. Did I get Snape's personality right? I'm worried that I couldn't get the cutting elegance of his words. As you can see, I really admire the way Snape talks. Anyway, go to that little button at the corner of the screen and press if you liked my story. Friendly critism is also welcomed
