Chapter two
Dumbledore applauded merrily to Professor Snape who looked like his heart had stopped.
The students from muggle households simultaneously burst into laughter much to the confusion of the wizarding household students.
Harry was laughing so hard that he had to hold his stomach with his left hand and pound the table with his right. Dean and Hermione looked like they were going to hyperventilate.
Ron joined in the laughing too although he didn't quite understand what was so funny.
"Now as for the Defense Against Dark Arts position.. I've decided to merge that course in the large part with Care of Magical Creatures which our beloved Professor Hagrid will be teaching with the help of returning Professor Lupin," said Dumbledore.
Professor Lupin entered the room and waved rather sheepishly to all the students. Loud whooping could be heard from the Gryffindor table.
"Now off to bed you go" he continued and shooed the confused students to bed.
***
It took a while for the laughing to stop and for the students to finally go to bed. Even then it was all anyone could talk about the next morning at breakfast.
"Did you see what we had to wear?" giggled Lavender Brown.
"Hermione? Are longs the style for muggle girls?" asked Parvati.
"Um well.. yes.. but they're called shorts not longs" replied Hermione and she continued to explain that a t-shirt and shorts were more appropriate for the type of physical activity that they'd be doing.
"..tumbling and climbing ropes and such.." she continued, answering the questions that wizarding household students asked her.
"So Professor Lupin AND Hagrid will teach DADA?" asked Ginny.
"I suppose-th Hagrid will th-each during full moons-ths." Replied Ron with toast in his mouth.
"I wonder where Snape is?" wondered Harry aloud referring to the empty chair at the Professors table that Snape usually occupied.
Swallowing Ron answered, "Probably too embarrassed at losing the DADA position to show his face." Then he turned to listen to Hermione's explanation of 'jumping-jacks'.
***
After recovering from his heart-attack, Professor Severus Snape headed to Professor Dumbledore's office to protest to his Headmaster that he had never agreed to accept the P.E. teacher position.
"But Severus... you did." Was Dumbledore's reply
"But.. when.. how.." sputtered Snape. He was bewildered and frankly still in disbelief from the incident in the great hall.
"Why you told me that you 'wanted the newly opened position' and said that you were 'the best qualified person for it'."
The Potions Master stood dazed.
"I was very surprised that you were willing to teach potions as well as physical education. But I do not doubt that you will do a marvelous job Severus."
"But..."
"Ah yes that reminds me here is your guidebook and your whistle" and Snape held out his hands as Dumbledore gave him a red book and a silver whistle. "Good luck Severus"
And with that Snape walked out of Dumbledores office defeated.
