Chapter 7:
- Normal POV –
Severus stormed over to the other side of the classroom, where Ron Weasley is located. He was furious! How dare that stupid blood traitor try to do this to his son?
Seeing Severus coming his way with a death glare, Ron paled badly and started shaking. He stuttered badly and said, "Pro - Professor, I - I have a reasonable excuse for this. Please listen. But it is top secret that cannot be exposed to any of these slimy gits over here."
Finished with what he was saying, he looked smug. Too bad it was too smug for his own good. Ron thought that he would make Professor Snape curious with what he was saying and listen to him carefully, just like a leech, cling on to every word. After all, which person would not be curious when they hear something like that?
Then he planned on using Dumbledore as an excuse to defend himself, as he thought that most of the teachers are on Dumbledore's side. If it had gone as well as he planned to, Severus might even obey him from now onwards, since he and Hermione were Dumbledore's faithful members and his right hand man. If
Instead of getting the reaction he wanted, all Ron could see was the lips of the potions master, thinning. If Severus was angry just now, he was hopping mad now. Not all had that unreasonable brat tried to harm his son and his son's consort, he also insulted his Slytherins by calling them 'slimy gits'.
Severus frowned, which was never a good thing. "I can assure you that the Slytherins are not slimy and they are definitely better than you, you fool. And what you want to say can be said fast. I got better things to do then to stay here to listen to you making stupid excuses."
Ron looked at his professor nervously and decided it to say there and then. If there were consequences, he could always push the blame to the potions master as it was him who forced Ron to say.
"It is the headmaster, Professor. He told me to do this. You would... Would stand on our side right? You must know that Potter has been manipulated. What is a Riddle anyway? He should be in Gryffindor in the first place. He is the boy who lived and both of his parents are from our house!"
Ron finished what he was saying, yelling a bit at the end. He was referring to the version of stories Dumbledore had told him. He thought that Lily and James were in fact Harry's parents and so, Harry were supposed to be in Gryffindor.
Severus listened to Ron telling the version of the story with a raised eyebrow. Harry's parents were from Gryffindor? What a laugh. Harry has the blood of Salazar Slytherin flowing in his veins. What other house would he be more perfect in? Maybe the second choice would be Ravenclaw, but never Gryffindor.
Severus stifled a laugh and asked Ron in a perfected emotionless mask. "May I ask, Mr Weasley, where did you hear that Harry Riddle's parents are from Gryffindor? If you were referring that Harry is the son of Lily and James Potter, you were wrong. If I can recall and I can assure you that my memory is perfectly fine, Harry is a Riddle while James is a Potter," he drawled, speaking to Ron as if he was no more than three and was very ignorant.
Ron flushed with embarrassment at the tone Severus was using. It made him sound like a fool and he hated it. Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do or he would get himself into trouble AND get Dumbledore into trouble. He gritted his teeth while Severus had his fill of scolding him. Being able to scold the brats was one of the only thing Severus looked forward to in this profession. Rarely any death eater made Tom and him angry recently, so there was no other way to release the pent up stress.
Severus smirked and continued taunting Ron as Ron swore that he would get back at Severus one day, but it wasn't easy. However,all these thoughts made Severus want to laugh. Even Harry and Draco were stronger than Ron. Why should he be afraid of that brat then, since he was stronger than Harry and Draco.
However, to get on Dumbledore's and Hermione's good side, he can't just stop that. Instead he tried persuading Severus further. When that didn't work, he just just aimed a hex on Draco which Harry saw in time and shielded him with his own body.
Severus only had the time to see his son falling and yelled, "WEASELY! What the stupid crap are you doing, you stupid idiot?!"
Ron Weasley blanched as he saw his potions professor stalking towards him with a murderous expression on his face. OOPS.
To be continued…
Ron's going to get into deep trouble!! *dances around happily* I'm just joking. Hope you appreciated my sense of humor. (Don't hate me because of it). As I have stated in my other story, the updating time would be pushed backwards in about once a month while the length have not increased or decreased. I hope you guys don't stop reading because of this.
This is due to the huge amounts of homework I have now. I don't even have the time to sit in front of the computer to type this. This is all typed through my hand phone! I shall not launch into great details about my pathetic life but I think you got the picture, right? That is about it. Please review and make my day a little bit brighter and more fulfilling. Thanks. =D
