Snape walked right into Madam Pomfrey's office despite her current questions about the boy… no girl. Who knows what the kid is now. He walked over to the fireplace, grabbed some floo powder, and shouted the Headmasters name.
"Albus!" Snape shouted into what looked like an empty office.
"Yes Severus? How are you today anything I can do for you?" Dumbledore responded in his usual light tone and with his sparkling blue eyes.
"As a matter of fact yes I need you to come to the infirmary now we have an extreme emergency regarding a student."
"I'll be right out Severus." Snape removed his head from the fireplace and within minutes the headmaster stood there dusting off his deep magenta robes.
"Now what is the problem Severus? Usually I would think that you would be able to handle this sort of thing did a student get into a fight?"
"No. I would like you to come into the infirmary with me." Dumbledore looked a little confused but followed anyway. He was greeted with a crying Aleck Jefferson sobbing onto Daphne Greengrasses robes. Albus sighed softly he never liked having to take matters with his students this far. But this was very odd because he never had any trouble with this student. This was going to be interesting. Albus thought to himself.
"Ms. Greengrass I'm sorry but I have to ask you to leave seeing this as a private matter." Daphne looked up to see that the headmasters face showed a great deal of sorrow in it.
"Of course headmaster. Aleck I'll talk to you later ok?" she said softly. The boy simply nodded and she gave him a brief kiss on the cheek before standing to leave.
Dumbledore conjured himself a chair and sat down and Snape did the same. They all sat there for a minute or two in awkward silence. Dumbledore made the first move.
"Mr. Jefferson, I will say that I have never dealt with this before, so it will be a first for me." Dumbledore said cautiously
Aleck snorted, "Wouldn't be the first time I've heard that before, and, before you go through all the questions that I know you're going to ask I'll put you mentally at ease. Yes I have been doing this for the five years that I have been hear and no this is not the first time I have gotten caught and no I have not only been doing this for five years." When Aleck finished Dumbledore and Snape sat there in amazement.
"Mr. Jefferson what do you mean that this is not the first time that you have been caught doing.." Snape gestured to the boys chest. "… what you've been doing?"
"I got caught by my mum's boyfriend when I was eleven. I didn't like being a girl nor did or do I ever. I always wore boy's clothes and was considered in the muggle world a tomboy. So now that you know that piece of info on me your next question is probably going to be why I do it. Am I right?" Aleck smirked a little bit at the looks on Dumbledore and Snape's face.
"Yes, well, please do continue." Said Dumbledore still amazed. How could the boy say exactly what was on his (meaning Dumbledore's) mind.
"Well that part is more complicated then it seems. That's something that you can find out on your own because I will not tell anybody that." Aleck stated this very firmly.
"Well I will understand that." Said Dumbledore softly
"But Professor Snape might want to look in a year book before you call my mum in." Aleck said a venomous voice
"And might I ask why should I go look in a year book?" Snape said confused as to why the boy made that reference.
"Oh surely you remember the name Shirley Jacobson." Aleck still spoke in a cold tone and stared straight into Snape's eyes.
"Yes but how do you her?"
"Easy she's my mum father." Aleck spat the last word out so venomously that his eyes looked a shade darker than usual.
Snape's head was spinning but soon everything went black.
