Emerald Eyes
Chapter 1
Disclaimer: Severus Snape is not mine, however Professor Virtue is an original character.
A/N: This is my newest story. It's taken me awhile to fix but I think it's good. The only reason I ratedthe story R is because there is some language not meant for children as well as some sexual content. Not in the first chapter but in chapters that follow. R&R...thanx
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was the middle of the summer and I was getting ready to begin teaching at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The letter that was sent to me said that I was to be at the school two weeks before the start of term.
Head Master Dumbledore interviewed me right after last year. I was to be the new Telepathy teacher. A new class that the school wanted. As well as the Ministry of Magic. I fit the description perfectly. The position required someone who has studied Telepathy for at least 10 years. I have been blessed with the gift of Telepathy and have known about Telepathy my entire life. I have even studied books that have been printed on it. To enhance my experience and learn more about my rare gift.
I placed my last piece of clothing in my trunk and took out the letter again. It said:
"Dear Miss Virtue,
After looking over the numerous applications that were received, we,meaning myself and the Ministry of Magic, feel that you are most qualified for the position of the new Telepathy Professor. Please be advised that you are to report to the school at least two weeks prior to the new term. It is so you can meet the other professors as well as become acquainted with the castle itself.
Thank you for your cooperation and I look forward to seeing you soon.
Sincerely,
Albus Dumbledore
Head Master of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry"
I set the letter down on my bed. I couldn't help but read it over and over. An accomplishment that I never imagined. My emerald eyes sparkled and glittered with anticipation. My ruby red lips smiled attentively. Instead of waiting another week, I planned to leave for Hogwarts tomorrow.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I woke up the next morning at 7 o'clock. I preferred not to sleep later when I knew I had to be somewhere prompt. My vision became blurry and I knew it was a sign. Dumbledore knows I'm coming.
I double checked my mahogany trunk just to reassure myself. I am a very organized person and everything had to be in perfect order. Otherwise the mess would drive me out of my fucking mind. Last minute items were placed in the trunk and I proceeded to get ready for my departure.
Picking out an appropriate ensemble to wear was rather difficult. I chose a long, black skirt and a satin, baby blue button down blouse. It was my most professional looking outfit that I owned. I figured it I needed anything else, I could always travel to Hogsmeade if necessary. Leaving my home in Salem, Massachusetts was going to be the most difficult part. At least it won't be for long. I could always Apparate myself back home if I needed to. As long as I had the permission from Dumbledore.
With one final look around my apartment, I closed my eyes and pictured the castle of Hogwarts. For an Apparation, I needed to be more specific. I decided that I should go to the front of Dumbledore's office. He was sitting at his desk waiting for my arrival. I could feel him in my thoughts.
In one second I vanished from my apartment in the center of Salem, and appeared directly in front of Professor Dumbledore's office.
I opened the door to the office and found myself standing in front of Head Master Dumbledore as well as two other professors. I started to become nervous when suddenly Dumbledore too a step towards me and started to speak,
"Welcome to Hogwarts, Miss Virtue. I would like to introduce you to two of your colleagues, Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape. Please, have a seat and we will begin to discuss your lesson plan and schedule."
As I took a step forward, the door behind me closed instantly.
"Miss Virtue, I am Professor McGonagall, the Transfiguration professor. You may call me Minerva," said Professor McGonagall.
She seemed nice but with a strict and distinct appearance. I knew instantly that students fear her, but she is well liked among those whom do not disobey her.
I assumed the other person standing beside Minerva had to be Professor Snape. He had greasy, jet black hair, a long nose, and long, black robes. When he noticed I was staring at him, he spoke,
"I am Professor Snape. You may either refer to me as such or Severus. I am the Potions professor."
When he spoke, he had a cold, harsh tone to his voice. I knew that there was some form of gentleness and kindness behind his dark appearance. It would only be a matter of time before someone found it. And that person was going to be me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Professor Dumbledore explained to me everything I would need to know as a professor. Minerva added things that she thought were appropriate. Severus just stood there. He had a stern look on his face and refused to show emotion. I wasn't able to tell if he didn't like me, or if that was just how he always was. I planned to "do my homework" so to speak and find out more on Professor Severus Snape.
