Severus Snape...
Hogwarts Great Hall...
'You've got to be joking, Severus thought. The Tri-Wizard Tournament?! He sighed, he was actually hoping for a quieter semester, and yet now this. He ran his long fingers through his hair. Unknown to most of you pushed a bit of magic throughout your finger tips you could get your hair to stay in certain styles. The down side of this is that it would make your hair develop a oily look. He sighed again as he rose and billowed out of the Great Hall. He went downstairs to the Slytherin common room. All the years stood at attention and looked at him expectingly.
"Welcome back to Hogwarts, I'll cut my normal speech short as the fact is I'm tired." He began smoothly falling back into the role of babysitter easily. "For those arriving for the first time, welcome and prepare this year will not be easy." "We are going to be hosting a tournament of extreme prowess, I expect you all to be paying attention to the different spells and magical energy that will be here." "I.."
Severus was jerked out of his prepared speech by the second biggest little shit in Hogwarts. His godson Draco Malfoy, the poor boy had not inherited anything from his parents except looks. He swore the boy had begged his way into Slytherin.
"Us purebloods won't need the warning it's the mudbloods and blood traitors that need reminding of what is expected." Draco turned up his nose as if even the idea of himself being an embarrassment was a foreign concept.
Severus pinches his nose and counted to ten the boy was going to end up beaten up by a Durmstrang student at least if he kept that attitude. But, was he going to correct him no, the boy needed to learn the hard way. Dismissing the students into the Headgirl in training, Daphne Greengrass, he retired to his private quarters. As he shook off his teaching robes he glanced at his desk. There was an envelope with the Gringotts emblem stamped onto it. Intrigued he broke the seal as he stood over his desk.
Dear Mr. Snape,
We at Gringotts would like to convey our deepest congratulations on the choice of magical guardianship. You are hereby responsible for one Hermione Emma Granger, Muggleborn witch. Her vaults shall know have invoices sent to you as well as he family. You will be responsible for her magical upbringing and future. Any betrothal contracts that she may receive will be run by you first. On Mrs. Grangers seventeenth birthday is she so wishes she can petition wizards for their hand in marriage so as to continue her magical bloodline. You are also eligible to marry said witch. We at Gringotts congratulate you once again.
After reading the missive once through Severus wipes his eyes. Yes, yes he must be more tired than he thought. He started again and read the missive. No, nonononoNONONONONOOOOOOOOOOO! He ended the missive grabbing his wand and bolting out into the common room. Slytherins scattered as he blazed through them and out into the hall. He was going to string a certain Gryffindor up.
Theodore Nott look around at his fellow students before bolting to the door himself.
"OH No You Don't! If anyone is going to find out what that was about it's me!" Yelled Draco
Following their lead a stampede of snakes rushed after their Head of House.

He was of Severus Snape and his wild magical power going berserk. He a tad for the man, but after all it was all for the "Greater Good." He had used his power as supreme Mugwamp to curve Ms. Granger's choice of guardianship from the French cousin. Nothing against the French witch but it was better if the girl could be paired with a light family. Mrs. Weasley asking for her youngest son was a bit unfortunate, however he was a pureblood. So he moved to the her second choice who he was surprised was one, Severus Snape. Now all he had to do was let the chaos reign, then he would sweep in as the kind old Professor and all would fall into place. He pulled out his latest muggle candy, bubblegum.
