Chapter 10- The Return to Hogwarts
It took a few moments for Aeris to answer the question. First she looked at the scene, which was Snape, head of Slytherin house, a Slytherin himself, most feared professor (well all houses except Slytherin) in all of Hogwarts, was kneeling right in front of her. Her, Aeris, the new DADA professor, a Gryffindor in her year, and just recovered from being a prisoner in a Death Eater camp. He was holding his graduation ring, and had just asked a question that most women want to hear.
"What," she finally asked, unable to form any longer sentences at the moment.
"Will you marry me," was his reply.
"Severus, I don't know what to say."
"Say whatever you want."
"I'll think about it," she told him.
Standing up, Snape asked, "Do you always say that to any boy who asks you a question?"
*****Flashback*****
Aeris, fourteen, sat next to Lily at lunch, and was having a mixed conversation between notes, and the notice they had read on their way, that stated that there was a trip to Hogsmeade that weekend. Their conversation went something like this:
"Did you find out the answer to which potion could tell absolute truth?"(Aeris)
"Yeah, it's Veraserium. Do you know what you're wearing to the Hogsmeade trip?"(Lily)
"I was thinking about my blue tank top, black mini skirt, black knee-high dragon-hide boots, and that muggle fairy pendant you got my last Christmas. You?"(Aeris)
"My green peasant blouse, and my hip-hugger flare jeans."(Lily)
"Ladies," Sirius broke in, as he, James, Remus, and Peter slipped in surrounding them, "We just read the notice board, and were wondering if you needed any body guards."
"And why would we need body guards," Aeris asked sarcastically.
"Because somebody needs to protect those delicious bodies of yours," Sirius replied, but quickly held up his hands when he heard a growl come from Remus.
Aeris smiled, and told him sweetly, "I'll think about it."
*****End Flashback*****
"Technically your not a boy now, and I never say no to a boy that is a student, and needs help with his studies, and since you're not a student now, there's no reason to agree, or accept with you" Aeris told Severus, with a faint smirk on her lips.
"Well, since you feel this way, why don't we just head back to Hogwarts."
"Alright," Aeris agreed, uncertain if she was ready.
"Before we go, I should warn you to put on your sunglasses."
"Why?"
"Let's just say that you're going to have a visitor in you're fifth year Griffindor and Slytherin classes for quite some time," Severus told her as he handed her a copy of the Daily Prophet.
Looking at the front page, she saw none other than our "favorite" person, Dolores Umbridge, toad-like face and all, dressed in her ridiculous garb. Aeris groaned, and said "Not now, I don't need any Ministry officials to watch my every move while I'm teaching students about the outside world."
"That's just it, the Minister of Magic is unsure of his power, and while questioning Dumbledore's sanity by saying that Voldemort is back, he wants to control how we teach, which is why they'll be notifying you to change you're text to 'Defensive Magical Theory'."
"They're doing WHAT," Aeris screamed at the top of her voice, and came very close to tearing off Severus's head, but not on purpose.
"I'm just a messenger," Snape replied in a calm voice that only he could say, as he handed her a piece of parchment.
Aeris tore the paper from his hand, and heated up with frustration as she read the letter. It read:
To Miss Lupin,
It has come to our attention that you are providing you're students with inadequent material. Therefore, we were forced to take action in your time of absence to notify all parents/guardians of participating students of the change in text. We hope that this does not interrupt any of your plans, even if insufficient.
Sincerely,
Dolores Jane Umbridge
Hogwarts Inquisitor
When she finished the letter, Aeris very calmly placed the letter on the table, then with a quick flick of the wand, it burst into a smoldering ball of ash. Snape just watched the pile of soot, and commented, "You took that better than I expected."
Aeris turned, and said with acid dripping from her voice, "I'd really like to once again, speak with dear Miss Umbridge," and with that, she disappeared, nightgown and all, but then quickly reappeared again, as she commented, "I'd rather have some decent clothes on", with she stormed into the bathroom. Even though you couldn't see it on the outside, on the inside, Severus had a huge grin spread across his face.
Right as soon as she closed the door, Severus flopped onto the bed and groaned. He pulled out the ring again, and looked at it thinking to himself, 'Severus, you God damn fool, why did you do it? You know that she would never love you, even if she did show it, it's not enough to guarantee that she would marry you. You are just a fool to think that someone would love you.' He growled at himself, and shoved the ring back into his pocket. Then he started to rub his temples with his fingers.
Inside the bathroom, while Aeris was changing, she thought to herself, 'Aeris, why did you say no, you love him, and you know it. Sirius was just a friend to you, he was like an older brother to you.'
Another voice in her mind said, 'I said that I was never going to marry, and I plan to."
'Is it really that fair to your brother, who can never have children? Is it fair for you to hide behind your mask? Is it fair to not just break Severus's heart, but breaking your heart.'
Upset with herself, she cast a silencing charm on the door, and then screamed, "I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS," as she hurried to finish changing.
When Aeris reappeared, she wore a simple, pale blue t-shirt, blue jeans, and a black work robe. Strands of hair fell out of her simple ponytail, as she put her sunglasses over her unordinary eyes, which flashed little daggers.
"Alright, let's go," she snapped, venom still in her voice.
"How," Severus asked, but somehow knew that he would find out shortly.
"There's only one way to Apperate onto school grounds that's not written in the book, and I'm going to do it, I just hope Dumbledore doesn't mind."
"What does he have to do with this," Snape started, but when he saw the smirk on Aeris lips, he finished, "You know something don't you."
"Maybe, but that doesn't matter now," she finished, as she took his hand, and said, "I want you to picture Dumbledore's office, just next to the fireplace, alright?"
"Alright," he commented, closing his eyes.
"Let's go," she told Snape, and used some of her magic to send them swirling, as colors flash before their eyes.
When the room stopped swirling, they stood at the headmaster's office fireplace, while the headmaster himself sat at his desk, with a small smile across his face. Aeris swayed for a moment, but regained her composure almost immediately.
Suddenly, the doors to the office burst open, as a short, plump, toad-like woman in a pink cardigan stormed, actually more like waddled towards Dumbledore, screaming, "It's been two weeks Albus, if you're DADA professor isn't here by tomorrow, the Ministry will take action."
Clearing her throat, Aeris strode towards the small woman, and said, "Dolores Umbridge I presume."
"Who are you," she asked, in a fake sweet voice.
"Aeris Lupin, DADA professor, and member of the Elite Four."
"I'm so pleased to meet you," Umbridge said in her fake sweet voice, "I presume that you got my letter, and I will be checking your class once a week."
"Yes ma'am," Aeris replied, and started to leave the office. When she walked behind Dolores, she whispered a few words, and leaving with a smirk on her lips.
Dolores thought she smelled something, and when she looked down she saw that her cardigan had caught fire. She shrieked and grabbed a pitcher of water that Dumbledore had so conveniently conjured, and doused herself with it.
Outside, Aeris whispered to herself, "You're not saying if I have the right to teach what I want, and if she gets in my way, there'll be hell to pay."
Triforce Knight- Well, as I said before, it's now time for a disclaimer. I do NOT own anything Harry Potter related, and I probably will NEVER own anything. Also, if you disagree with my decision I prefer you keep them to yourself, but if you have some constructive criticism I will appreciate it.
[Aeris appears]
Aeris- Say Tri, you told me that you would be going over previous chapters, and be fixing them up.
Tri- Yes I am, and I will do. *whispers* eventually.
Aeris- Also many people are asking, "Are you going to continue your stories?"
Tri- The answer to that is also yes, however, right now I am suffering from writer's block, so I think now would be a good time to asks people for suggestions.
Aeris- Since the reviews area is not supposed to be used as a message board, please send ideas to morgansapprentice@yahoo.com and label them as "Aeris Idea's".
Tri- I hope this has been a very useful tool for you all. However, I can not, I repeat CAN NOT guarantee that I will use your ideas.
