The Werewolf's Return

Rosemary looked at Professor Dumbledore smiling slightly as she remembered a similar meeting years before.

"Professor, I really don't think it's a good idea. You know what I am."

"The same precautions used for you while you were in school can be put back in effect."

She sighed. "Fine. I'll teach the Defense Against Dark Arts Class. Merlin knows I've had enough experience with it." she looked at him. "You never explained why you wanted me to teach."

He sighed and leaned back in his chair though she could see the twinkle in his eyes. "Every since Harry's first year I have not been able to keep a DADA teacher for more than a year. Also the Potions teacher has made his displeasure plain that he has not been chosen to teach it."

Rosemary's brow furrowed. "That's strange but who is this Harry? I haven't had a chance to catch up on all the wizard news. And why does that name sound familiar?"

Dumbledore smiled slightly. "His last name is Potter if that helps."

Rosemary's eyes widened and her hand flew to her mouth. "James's and Lily's son?" she whispered shocked. "He survived?"

"Yes. Do you know what happened that night?" he asked. He knew he didn't need to say which night.

She swallowed. "Yes. Father taunted me with it but he never mentioned Harry. I just figured that he had been killed along with his parents."

"When Voldemort tried to kill Harry it rebounded on him giving Harry a particular lightning shaped scar on his forehead. Voldemort disappeared and wasn't heard of again until Harry was eleven. Now Harry is sixteen and in his sixth year here. Voldemort has attacked and Harry has defeated him several times though never permanently. Harry is known as the Boy Who Lived and is even in several books."

"So, he is powerful?"

"Very. He's a good student and all respect him except for the Slytherins."

Rosemary snorted. "The Slytherins don't respect anyone except for Death Eaters and Voldemort."

"They respected you and you are not either of those." he pointed out.

She shrugged. "Severus and Lucius were the two most popular Slytherins. When they showed our friendship the others accepted me." she grinned. "It didn't hurt that I could and would fight them. They were easy to convince."

"The Potions professor is the head of the Slytherins. Professor McGonagall is still over the Gryffindors, Professor Sprout the Hufflepuffs and Professor Flitwick the Ravenclaws."

Rosemary's eyes narrowed. "You are avoiding naming the Potions Professor." she pointed out.

He smiled, his eyes twinkling behind his half moon glasses. "You know him well. It's Severus."

Her eyes lit up and she grinned. "Really? I haven't seen him in years! How is he? Is he still sweet? Where has he been?'

Dumbledore laughed. "You can ask him yourself. You know where the Potion Professor's office is. The password is DADA."

Rosemary chuckled and stood. "Thank you, Professor. I shall go see him unless there is something else we need to discuss?"

"No. Go see your friend. We shall talk more later."

Rosemary nodded and left Dumbledore's office. She had to force herself not to skip as she made her way to the Dungeons. She passed the Potions room with a smile remembering the jokes played there and the points lost. 'Those were good years.' she thought fondly as she stopped in front of a tapestry that depicted Salazar Slytherin defeating a troll.

"DADA." The tapestry sprang aside and Rosemary looked in.

Immediately she was assaulted by cold air. She shivered slightly but continued inside. She looked around smiling at the books spread about. Everyone thought that he concentrated solely on Potions and witchcraft but truthfully, he loved to read Muggle books claiming they were better than staring into a fire.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" a harsh voice demanded.

A man stood from his chair, glaring at her with his wand pointed at her chest. She smiled at the familiar tone, the pale skin and black greasy hair. He was broader than she remembered but was still slender though she could see the muscles on him. Here eyes flicked to the book he had slammed down grinning when she saw that it was the Muggle book, Secret Garden. She froze when she saw the picture by his couch.

It was of her Lucius and Severus right after they had graduated. They wore their graduation robes and were laughing. Rosemary was in between Severus and Lucius with her arms around their necks. Their arms were around her waist playing a game of gentle tug-of-war with her. She was laughing with them then kissed their cheeks.

"I'm surprised you still have that, Severus." she said softly her eyes going back to him. "It has been almost sixteen years since we saw each other."

His eyes widened and his wand dropped from his hand as he finally recognized her. "Rosemary?"

"The one and only." she replied with a slight smile.

He crossed the space between them in a quick stride. He grabbed her and hugged her tightly burying his face in her thick hair. She felt a tear fall out of her eye as she hugged him back remembering a conversation they had had right after his father had forced him to take the Death Mark.

"What are you going to do?" she asked him watching as he stared at his arm in shame.

He shrugged, rubbing the mark. "I don't know, Rose. I didn't want it but no one will believe that."

"I do." she said firmly. She cupped his chin and turned his face towards her, looking into his eyes. "You have and always will be my brother. I don't care what happens I will always believe in you."

He stared at her then the seventeen-year old boy grabbed her in a tight hug burying his face in her hair. "You are my salvation. If I ever lose you I will be hard-pressed to deny him, sister of my heart." he whispered.

She pulled him away and looked him in the eye. "If that happens, promise me, you'll take any chance you have to turn back to the good side."

He stared at her then slowly nodded. "I will. No matter the cost."

"That's all I ask." she hugged him tightly then grinned at him. "Now how shall we aggravate Professor Adder tomorrow?"



She shook herself out of the memory and patted his back. "Everything will be all right, Severus. I'm back and two of the Mischief Trio are together again."

She felt him chuckle. "You remember."

"I never forgot. It kept me alive."

He pulled away smiling sadly. "I remembered my promise to you." he said softly. "I got the chance with Professor Dumbledore. I was his spy in Voldemort's ranks for about six months."

She nodded. "Good. I wondered if you remembered that. Are you his spy again now that Voldemort is back?"

"Yes." he sighed. "It's worse now though. He suspects me."

"Be careful, Severus." she said softly. "I just found you, my Pack brother. I don't want to lose you."

He studied her. "You seem more wolf-like now."

She sighed. "That's a long story and one that is still too raw to talk about. One day I will tell you about it but not even Dumbledore knows all of it. I'll get all that needs to know about it together and tell it once. I don't think I could do it more than that."

He nodded and motioned her to sit down. "Why are you here?"

"Albus asked me to teach the DADA classes."

He chuckled as they sat down. "He finally found a professor that I won't hate for getting the job instead of me. I should congratulate him." he said wryly.

Rosemary laughed. "Yes, you should. He teased me for a while, not mentioning who the Potions teacher was. I could just see me talking to Professor Adder as an equal."

Now it was Snape's turn to laugh. "No. He left a few years ago. He told me that he use to hate it when it was time for Potions with Gryffindors and Slytherins together because he knew that me, you, Lucius and sometimes Potter and Black would cause trouble."

"Don't forget Remus." she told him with a grin. "He did as much as I did."

Severus scowled. "Yes. He was here three years ago as the DADA teacher."

Her eyes widened. "He's alive?"

"Yes." He studied her, puzzled. "You didn't know?"

"No. I've been out of touch with the world for the past sixteen years. How is he?"

"He's fine the last I saw him." he said with a shrug. "He resigned because everyone found out he was a werewolf."

Rosemary's eyes narrowed as she saw the gleam in his eyes. "Severus! You didn't!"

He shrugged. "I did. He was being annoying." He smiled sadly. "He reminded me of you too much. I wanted him away from here. That was the only way I could think of doing it."

She sighed. "Severus, you need to learn better ways to deal with things like that." her eyes softened and she kissed his cheek. "I'm here now so could you be a little nicer?"

"You mean I actually have to be nice to the Gryffindors?" he asked in mock horror.

She laughed. "You are mean!" she exclaimed shoving him lightly. "You probably have the whole school fearing you will snap their heads off."

He groaned. "Rose, that word play was terrible."

She grinned. "Is it true?"

He chuckled. "Yes. I'm known to favor Slytherins and hate Potter's gang."

She shook her head. "Things never change." she grinned. "You could shock them by suddenly being nice to them for a change."

He laughed. "I could." he looked thoughtful. "That's actually a good idea. I have my conscience back now so I better be good."

She grinned and kissed his cheek. "Yes. Now I need to go find my room and classroom then get ready for this year. It's only a few days away."

He nodded and stood with her. "I'll show you the way if you want."

"I'd like that." She walked out with him. "How do you want to act if we see any professors?"

"Just be yourself." he told her. "They all know we're friends and if they don't they can be shocked for a while. I'm not losing you."

She nodded and let him lead her to her new room and classroom, trying not to remember why she had been out of the wizard world for so long.
