Chapter 37
-Severus' p.o.v-
I stood in front of one of my last classes before winter brake, 4th years, I let my eyes wander as there was a knock on the door, "Enter" I barked out only to blink at who it was.
He leaned against the door in jeans and a turtle neck jumper hands shoved into his pockets "mind if I sit in on your lessons, I've been banished from the ship for the day and I heard the old man is band from the dungeons" he asked. I crossed my arms seeing the class watching "back to work-" I glared at my young friend "-you're really avoiding him and looking for a place to hide" I corrected him.
His eyes light up before he smirked and waved his hand a bit "if you say so Sevvie" he said, the class held their breath as I glared at the younger male "don't disturb them" I told him. He flashed a grin closing the door behind him before walking towards my desk and sitting on it.
It didn't take long before he started to wonder watching the kids, I went to mark the homework given to me at the start of class.
"Oi Sev" I glared up at the captain as he glared at Draco "yes Luffy" I asked, he looked over his shoulder a bit at me "what would a scale for a Horntail do if thrown into one of these potions" he asked back. I eyed his hand that he opened showing off the gold scale "a violet explosion that could take out half the room depending on how far alone the potion Is finished" I replied. He looked towards his sister's work table "about finish two stages left" he asked, I turned my eyes on Draco "it could kill anyone too close as It would explode within seconds" I replied.
He walked back to my deck setting down the scale "I thought Dragon scales are a 5th year ingredient" he asked, I picked it up turning it over in my hand "it is-" I looked Draco "see me after class" I told the boy who went pale.
I watched as he walked around the class again before he passed the Longbottom heir who was shaking, a panic attack by the looks of it. He stopped looking to the younger male before taking his wrist stopping him form cutting the root up. The younger looked up to the older who frowned "those spells are still affecting you aren't they" he asked.
Most of the class have stopped to watch as the young heir nodded, the captain sighed before placing the younger's hand on his chest "close your eyes and forget everything around you and just count the beats" he told him in a commanding voice. I looked to the class seeing cauldrons bubbling "back to work" I barked making them jump.
I watched as Neville calmed down before opening his eyes giving a nod of thanks to the older male who ruffled his hair before turning and walking back to my desk. I looked sideways at the younger male raising a brow, he shrugged leaning against the desk "most of us are prone to panic attacks or nightmares, if the presence of one of us near them doesn't work the sound or feel of a heartbeat works" he told me in a undertone so the class can't hear.
He suddenly pushed off the desk with a hiss, No that was parseltounge, he waved his hand and he started to vanish magic and all. So those are his illusion, I can't even sense him as the door opened and the headmaster walked in "Severus my boy have you seen Luffy" he asked. Most of the class looked to me "no headmaster, I've been teaching all day and haven't seen him" I replied, the older male sighed before leaving.
I let my eyes travel around the room "you owe my captain" I said, I heard his laugh before two small vile appeared on my desk. I felt my eyes widen "now where did you get these" I asked feeling him behind me "the goat isn't the only one with a phoenix, I have two" he whispered in my ear before I felt him leave.
