Hermione walked quickly trying to keep up with Snape's long strides as they entered the school. It was a large school with two buildings both 3 stories tall. Considering Hogwarts had been a castle though Hermione was not particularly intimidated. The same could not be said for Snape, he would be teaching subjects he didn't really understand to a huge amount of muggle children. He pushed open the door and even held it for Granger, mostly because she would be helping him find his classroom and navigate the school before classes began. Not that she knew the school either, but she was used to muggle schools, he figured they must all be similar.

"Hello there, you must be Silas" a warm welcoming voice said as a brunette woman strolled towards the pair, "I'm Vivian Beaumont." Snape looked down at his crisp white dress shirt and black pants relieved he had asked Granger if his outfit was as a muggle would wear to teach. He extended his hand and shook her own.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Ms. Beaumont" he said smoothly attempting to get it across that he had not given her permission to use his given name, even if it was fake.

"Oh, no need to be so formal Silas, call me Vivian" the woman said laughing lightly. Hermione wanted to laugh herself, not that she really knew her professor very well, but even she could tell that he didn't like Ms. Beaumont's informality. However, she checked herself and settled instead for crossing her arms over her chest. "Silas we've given you a classroom on the third floor of the other building. Here's your schedule of classes" Ms. Beaumont said handing him a slip of paper, "You'll be in charge of a homeroom of seniors. Don't worry, you'll barely see them. Would you like me to show you the way." The woman smiled brightly, but Hermione took the paper from Snape's hand waiting to see what he would say.

"No thank you Vivian" Hermione had to bite her lip from laughing, it was the same voice he used when he said 'Potter' or 'Gryffindor', "I believe Miss. Marshal will be willing to help me. Won't you Miss. Marshal."

Hermione nodded, "Yes sir" she said respectfully. Snape nodded as well.

"Good day Vivian" Snape said turning hard on his heel and advancing towards the doors from which they had come. Hermione jogged to keep up with him and glanced at the names of the students in his homeroom noting that she was one of them. She led him up to his classroom thinking about how odd it would be to be in his classroom and not have it be in the dungeons. The doorway was open and a key was laid on what was obviously to be his desk.

"Miss. Marshal" Snape said turning to face her as she opened the blinds covering the windows after dropping the papers on his desk, "Just what do you think you're doing?"

"Opening the blinds Mr. Gray" she chirped and then claimed a desk at the front of the classroom. She grabbed her own schedule off of his desk. "All right sir" she said looking at his own schedule, "According to this you have a 30 minute homeroom today and then classes commence. First you have an English 12 class, then a Social Studies 11 class, then it's lunch, after lunch you teach History 12, and finally an English 10 class. I'm in both of your grade 12 classes." Snape held up a hand signaling for her to stop.

"Miss. Granger" he said slowly and deliberately, "How am I expected to know what to teach?" She paused and shuffled through the papers Ms. Beaumont had given him.

"Oh, how nice, Ms. Beaumont typed up course outlines for you" she said trying hard not to grin, "Don't worry we can plan that out tonight sir. Today all you've got to do is make sure that all your classes go get textbooks when they're supposed to and then fake it."

Snape took the outlines from her hand. "At least the woman is somewhat useful" he said obviously aggravated. Suddenly they heard the noise of students in the hallway.

"Good luck professor" Hermione said taking a seat as the students jammed themselves into the classroom yelling and horsing around like children. Hermione finally laughed as she saw his horrorstruck face and felt a tap on her shoulder.

"You new here" a girl who had sat down behind her asked. Hermione looked at the girls bleach blond hair and was vaguely reminded of Malfoy.

"Uh, yeah. I'm He- Olivia Marshal" Hermione said catching herself just in time and smiling at the girl.

"Aurora Snow, but everyone around here calls me Rory" the blond said, "What do you think of the new teacher, he's hot huh?" Hermione thought she was going to choke, first the principal and now a fellow student, she didn't know what was going on in their minds. Snape, attractive, his mind yes, but physically, definitely not.

"Did no one ever teach you any manners" she suddenly heard Snape's deep voice thunder, "Quiet, and show some respect." Hermione whipped around in her chair and faced forward, the rest of the class seemed to understand that he wasn't someone to mess with for they all fell silent as well. "This is supposed to be your final year of high school, however if your attitudes this morning are any proof of your collective intelligence then I daresay many of you will be here for quite a few more years" Snape said in the voice Hermione recognized as the voice he usually reserved for speaking to Neville, "My name is Mr. Gray, and you will address me as such. Now, I will hand out your schedules, when I call your name come and retrieve your schedule."

The class was dead silent as Snape called out names and people noiselessly compared schedules. Hermione felt Rory poke her in the back and turned slightly. The blond held out her schedule and they swapped, Rory smiled and pointed at their shared biology class. Hermione couldn't believe it, she had barely met the girl and yet she was acting as a friend already. The bell clanged and Rory stood and smiled, she mouthed 'see you later' and Hermione did the same. Snape was already scowling and Hermione was the only one left in the classroom.

"I see you've already made friends with a delinquent Miss. Marshal" he said snidely. For her part Hermione had no clue what he was talking about, but ignored it as students filed in once more.

"Welcome to English 12" Snape said in a voice both soft and deadly, "As you know this is a mandatory course. We will be retrieving the play Hamlet to begin our studies this year. I expect each of you to have read Act I, Scene I by tomorrow and for each of you to keep a Hamlet journal in which you will be summarizing each scene we read as well as doing other assignments." Some of the students in the back let out a collective groan. "If you do not wish to be members of my class I suggest you go and speak to a counselor immediately" Snape said, "Anyone?" Not one person moved a muscle as he swept the door open. "Well, what are you dunderheads waiting for, an invitation. It's time to obtain Hamlet" Snape said scowling. Hermione jumped out of her desk and walked after her teacher the rest of the class following close behind.

[*][*][*][*][*]

"So, how was class with Mr. McDreamy" the sharp voice of Rory broke through Hermione's reverie as she sat in her biology class having arrived early. She looked at the girl confusion evident on her features. "You know, like McDreamy from Gray's Anatomy" Aurora said though Hermione was still confused she tried not to show it.

"Oh, you mean Mr. Gray" Hermione said laughing, "He's really strict. He already gave one of the guys in my history class a detention."

Aurora grinned like a cat, "I'd be more than ok with having a detention with him" she said, "If you know what I mean." Hermione still couldn't believe her ears despite the fact that she had heard numerous female students saying things like it all day, she had to wonder if Snape had heard it too. Though Snape never seemed to really miss anything so she would be surprised if he hadn't.

"I doubt he's have, um, that kind of detentions" Hermione managed to say, "He seems really professional."

Aurora shrugged, "A girl can always dream though" she said raising an eyebrow. Hermione was saved from having to come up with a reply by the ringing of the bell. Biology went by quickly, she laughed as she figured out that she only had homework in Snape's classes, not that that was unusual.

[*][*][*][*][*]

"We're leaving Miss. Marshal" Hermione heard Snape's voice say from behind her. She had been doing the homework he had given out that day while waiting for him to finish with the detentions. She shoved her work back into her bag and ran after him and met up with him at the car. "It took you long enough Miss. Granger" Snape snapped.

"Well excuse me for not having legs as long as yours" Hermione snapped right back, she had to admit she was far from in a good mood. Aurora had stayed with her for the first hour or so after school, Hermione having told her she was waiting for her parents, but the girl insisted on talking about all 'McDreamy's' attributes. Hermione really didn't want to hear it, it was just way too disturbing.

"You're treading on thin ice Miss. Granger" Snape said as he buckled his seat belt. She took a deep breath and started the car. She didn't know why she had allowed Dumbledore to talk her into this, muggle school wasn't exactly what she remembered, though she did seem to be more popular now. Rory had even invited her to eat lunch with her friends the next day.

"I'm sorry professor" Hermione said shortly as she drove away, "You really should learn how to drive sir." Snape glanced at her and raised an eyebrow crossing his arms over her chest.

"No thank you Miss. Granger" he said, "I see no obvious advantages."

"Well, if you knew how to drive then we wouldn't have to travel together everywhere" Hermione admitted, "After all don't you think it could get a little suspicious if anyone saw us." Hermione blushed a little, she knew Rory would assume the worst at least.

"We will deal with that if we must Miss. Granger" Snape said and they lapsed into silence. Finally Hermione pulled the car into the garage and Snape immediately left her. She ran up to her room and finished her homework.

[*][*][*][*][*]

"Granger" she heard Snape yell. She had been reading ahead in Hamlet, but dropped it and ran downstairs at his holler.

"Is something wrong professor" she asked as she skidded to a halt in the kitchen and took in the sight before her. Snape was turning off the oven and he took a seat.

"Of course not Miss. Granger, it is merely time for dinner" he said pointedly. "and you will be helping me with lesson plans because I assume your homework is finished." She nodded and began thinking about his classes.

"I assume you know what you're doing with Hamlet, you seemed quite knowledgeable today" she admitted.

"I am not unfamiliar with the works of William Shakespeare" Snape drawled, "Therefore I need no assistance with the grade 10's either, they are doing Romeo and Juliet."

Hermione nodded, "Alright, so the history classes then" Hermione said, "Well, in history we seem to have to begin with the outcomes of World War I, so we should cover that. I've heard that the most effective teachers type up their notes and then lecture to them." Snape was staring at her blankly.

"I know you're not used to typing, so I'll do it for you as long as you tell me what to write" Hermione said trying to explain it to him.

"You want me to tell muggles about the first war against the Dark Lord" Snape said astonished. Suddenly Hermione realized just how lost her potions professor was, he didn't even know what the first muggle world war was. Hermione sighed, it was going to be a long night.

"Alright professor, I'll start at the beginning since you have to cover World War I for your grade 11 social studies class anyway" she said putting down her fork and knife, "The first world war started in 1914 because…"
