The new teacher
Chapter 2
It had been two days since Fiona had arrived at Hogwarts, both her and Snape were in the potions classroom trying to work on the lesson plan for the third years when McGonagall came in to the classroom followed but Gilderoy Lockheart. McGonagall came up to Snape. '' Did you sudgest to Dumbledore that I needed an aid in my class.'' Snape could hear the rage in her voice, she was clearly not happy. '' Yes I did.'' Snape wasn'T sorry at all that he had said that, now she knows how he felt. McGonagall took a few long breaths to calm herself down. '' Severus, how would you like to have a new aid.'' She had a pleading sort of tone to her voice. '' You want me to trade someonne who probably wants to kill me for someone that if in my pressense longer than an hour I will kill.'' Snape was still siriously considering this proposition. McGonagall frowned. '' Well when you put it that way.'' Fiona chose to put in her two cents. '' I don't mind going to help McGonagall.'' Snape gave her one of his glares he usually kept just for Potter. '' I think I'll keep Fiona thank you.'' Fiona and McGonagall looked furious. '' Fine. Lockheart will be my aid. Have a nice day Severus.'' With that said she stormed out of the potions classroom with Lockheart on her tail. Snape gave himself a mental pat on the back, he really has pissed McGongall and Fiona off, he had killed two birds with one stone and very little effort. Snape went back to his work, it didn't take him long to realise that someone was starring at him, when he looked up he saw Fiona starring at him. '' Probleme Miss Kingsley.'' Fiona continued to stare at him.'' You had a chance to get rid of me and you didn't take it. '' She was confused, she really thought he would have taken an opportunity like the one that had just presented itself. '' Mabe I want to keep you in a place where I know what your doing all the time.'' She wasn't buying it at all. '' Or maybe I just like starring at you all day long.'' Snape couldn't believe he had said that, he hadn"t meant to it just slipped. Fiona blushed at what he had said. '' Your full of crap Snape.'' She had returned to her work. Snape returned to what he had been doing as well, he couldn't help but notice that it felt good to say what he had said to Fiona, and it falt good to see the blush on her cheek at what he had said.
The next day all the professors where called to a staff meeting, they were all there to arrange all the activities that were going to happen at Hogwarts during the school year. After everyone was seated the meeting began, Dumbledore adressed the staff. '' You all know why we are here, we need new ideas for activities this year.'' Dumbledore glanced at Fiona and Snape who had been having a silent argument while he was talking. '' Does anyone have any new ideas.'' Right away Lockhearts hand shot in the air immitating Hermione Granger. Dumbledore turned his attention yet again to Fiona and Snape who were still arguing. '' Miss Kingsley do you have any new ideas.'' Fiona seemed to think for a while. '' How about a duelling club.'' Dumbledore smiled. Fiona was proud of herself, it took her a while to see lockheart bouncing in his seat. '' Gilderoy are you alright.'' Everyone turned to look at the man that was bouncing up and down in his seat.'' We could have a time in te day were I tell all the students about y many adventures.'' Snape gave a loud snort.'' We are supossed to teach theses children, it would be hard to do so if they are in askaban for using an unforgivable because they were forced to listen to you.'' Fiona was trying very hard to controle herself, so were all the other members of staff. Lockhearts wasn't giving up just yet.'' Just because you don't have any good stories to tell, doesn't mean that you have to be mean .'' Snape was ready for the attack.'' We are here to teach not to tell stories that one stole from other wizards.'' Lckheart looked stunned, Snape was smirking. '' That's right Potter's not the only one that know's about your dirty little secret. By the way when did you get your memory back.'' Lockheart remained quiet, everyone was starring at Snape. Dumbledore finally spock. '' Well I for one think the duelling club is a great idea. Fiona and Severus will be in charge considering Fiona is an ex-auror and Severus is and ex- death eater.'' Fiona and Snape where about to protest. Dumbledore knew what they were about to say.''Well I think this was a very rpoductive meeting, now have a nice day.'' Dumbledore walked out of the room. Everyone got up, Snape walked past Lockheart and gave him a glare.
Snape was walking back to his chambers when one of the people he didn't want to see at the moment came up to him. Fiona was standing in front of him with a huge smile on her face. '' What are you smilling about.'' Fiona couldn't help but smile.'' What you did at the staff meeting was hilarious.'' Snape didn't find it hiarious. '' What I found hilrious is that people actually believe that dunderhead could do anything heroic or smart.'' Snape thought that Lockheart reminded him of James Potter and Serius Black.''That's funny Snape.'' Snape smiled at her. '' Yeah I thought so. Now leave me alone.'' They went thier seperate ways. This year was going to be very interesting.
