AN: So, this is my first fanfiction so there will be errors. Please don't criticize me. Any tips will be greatly welcomed and replies are the best. Also I do not own Harry Potter or any character in it. I only own my OCs.
It was the summer of 1986 and I, Severus Snape, was brewing some pain relivers and sleeping droughts for Poppy when Minerva's cat Patronus came and and called him for an emergency staff meeting.
Unwillingly I left my beloved potions thinking whatever Minerva called them for must be important or I was going to murder her, former teacher of mine or not.
"I have grave news." Was what he heard upon entering the staff room. "Oh Severus, you're here. Good.
"Wouldn't miss it for the world." I drawled as I sat down."
Minerva ignored me and continued" As I was saying, a tragedy has befallen us."
'Stop with the drama and get on with it' I thought.
"The sad news is that the headmaster has been found dead."
I almost fell out of my chair in shock. This was not what I was expecting when I entered. I suppose I wouldn't have to murder Minerva for taking him away from my potions.
I looked around to see the reactions of the others as I kept an emotionless mask on. Fillius had fallen out of his chair and was getting back up. There were tears on Pomona's face. The other members of the staff had similar states to Pomona.
"Please clam down everyone. I know that the situation is sorrowful but we still need to run the school with or without Albus."
"Have you called the aurors?"
"Yes I have. They have determined that he died choking on a lemon drop."
'So he died choking on his favorite muggle sweet rather than being murdered or being poisoned as I thought.'
"We also need to find a new headmaster or headmistress for Hogwarts."
"Why don't you become the new headmistress. You are the deputy headmistress." Fillius asked unsurprisingly. This was the question on everybody's mind. He was of course a Ravenclaw. They always asked questions. I have first-hand experience.
"I fell like I would be dishonoring Albus' memory if I took his place."
Everybody seemed to agree.
"But we still have the question of who become headmaster or headmistress. I will become the headmistress if nobody volunteers."
"I will."
AN: Sorry for the short chapter. I will try to make the next ones longer. Thanks for reading.
