A/N: Anything in italics is not what Hermione wrote.
Severus' curiosity spiked upon reading the title of the next list. What did his dear wife think of him when she was 11?
My Professors and Their Subjects. My thoughts:
🌙Professor Aurora Sinistra: Astronomy = A stern but understanding witch.
📖Study the stars and planets every Wednesday at midnight.
📖Relatively easy subject.
Severus smiled and thought, 'Well, Hermione never really had a problem with any subject.'
🐱Professor Minerva McGonagal: Transfiguration = Head of Gryffindor house! Strict but fair and not one to cross.
📖The art of changing something into something different.
📖The theories are easy to understand, but they are slightly difficult to put into practice.
Severus snorted in amusement. 'Slightly difficult?' he thought. He remembered how Minerva had compared Hermione's transfiguration work to that of Black's and Potter Senior s. Considering that those two had obtained animagus forms by their 5th year, that was saying something.
👮Professor Quirinus Quirrell: Defense Against the Dark Arts == Nervous & seems to love the color purple. That is the color of his turban at least.
Severus shuddered upon reading that. What had been under the turban was still a topic of his nightmares.
📖A class that teaches us how do defend ourselves.
📖Slightly more difficult than transfiguration. Would be better if Professor Quirrell didn't stutter so much. I don't understand why he's so scared.
🌺Professor Ponoma Sprout: Herbology = Head of Hufflepuff House. Kind, nurturing, and encouraging.
📖The study of magical plants.
📖Physically draining even if the subject matter is easy to understand.
Severus had to agree with Hermione's assessment of Ponoma and her subject. Herbology had been his favorite class, except for potions, when he was a student. Ponoma had always seemed to actually care about him, even if it was because it was her job. One of the things that had hurt most during his short tenure as Headmaster of Hogwarts was the open looks of hate and betrayal that Ponoma had given him. Once she learned why he had done what he had, she was one of the first to forgive him. She was one of the few people of the 'old crowd' that he was still in contact with.
🎩Professor Filius Flitwick: Charms = Head of Ravenclaw House. He's short and I think he may be part Goblin. Really kind and smart.
📖Enchanting objects to behave in ways that aren't normal for those objects.
📖Very easy.
👻Professor Cuthbert Binns: History of Magic = He's the only ghost teacher.
📖Studying the past of the Magical world.
📖Not the best teacher alive... or dead for that matter. I hate to insult Professors, but the class would be more interesting if it was taught differently. Right now, I'm pretty sure that I'm the only one to take this class seriously.
Severus' curiosity spiked as he read on.
🍵Professor Severus Snape: Potions Head of Slytherin House. He favors Slytherin students over all others and doesn't seem impressed with my work. I'll have to work on that. Despite being really grumpy and sometimes downright mean he is probably one of the most effective Professors at Hogwarts. He is definitely intelligent.
Severus shook his head. He really wished that it hadn't taken Hermione until she came back for her seventh year at Hogwarts, to figure out how to really earn his respect. At the same time he was surprised that she didn't comment on his then greasy hair or his hooked nose or even his cold tunnel-like eyes.
📖The creation of concoctions in a cauldron following a recipe.
Severus snorted. That was certainly an elementary way of putting it.
📖Very easy. I've always been good at following directions.
Severus openly laughed at that. Hermione may have been very good at following certain directions but she most definitely was a rule breaker.
