Chapter 6 Transfiguration of fate
OKAY guys this is a chapter called a staff meeting not a lot happens in this chapter but it has to be there so I can introduce all my characters and see their feelings.
All of the meanness to Snape is very painful for me I absolutely adore him the meanness is just there so you get the idea of his life so I don't hate him in any way shape or form
I dedicate this chapter to my mate Michelle and my other mates from school and all of my teachers.
Disclaimer applies as before I own nothing , nowt, nada apart from unknown characters and animals such as Nina Nightshade, Juliet Potter, Genesis the owl Jimmy the cat and I also Own the new character that comes later into the story Lysander Scarlett he is a dedication to my Form tutor who I have based this character on in his looks and mannerisms.
Thank u all my mates who tried to name him but came up with silly names and thanks too my tutor who gave me the idea for this character (who is coming in the story later)
Chapter 6 A Staff meeting.
As Hermione approached the solid oak doors of Hogwarts castle, they opened magically, she was expected.
The entrance hall was just as spectacular as she remembered it, a great sweeping staircase fell in front of her eyes complete with a red carpet adjoining the doors, this was a centre piece in the hall.
Hermione set down her trunk and wondered vaguely what to do next.
" Welcome back Hermione", came a voice from the right hand doors.
Hermione turned to see Albus Dumbledore looking at her, his sapphire blue eyes twinkling, his beard was a little longer than she remembered and he looked slightly older but the same spark he had many years ago was still there.
"Its good to be back", Hermione said looking around " and thank you again for offering me the job, I wasn't expecting it in the least",
" I trust you are ready for this, you know what young children and older children even can be like", Dumbledore smiled.
Hermione gave him a look
" Your things shall be taken to your quarters for you, perhaps you would like to join me and the other staff in a meeting followed by some refreshments.
Hermione followed him up the great staircase into the great hall, the ceiling was still bewitched to look like the sky outside and now it looked as if rain was due.
At the very end of the great hall sat the head table around it a few of the seats were occupied by some of the Hogwarts professors. Professor Flitwick sat at the end and to his right was professor Sinstra, Hagrid, Madam Hooch and lastly Remus Lupin.
"Miss Granger", squeaked Flitwick
"Professor Granger now", interrupted Madam Hooch
"All right Hermione". Boomed Hagrid
"Hello Hermione". Lupin smiled
Hermione walked up the table and greeted each Professor warmly.
Dumbledore sat down at the head of the table and motioned for Hermione to take a seat.
"Who are we missing", he said
"Trelawny" Lupin answered " but she never comes any way"
"Okay we'll start any way" Dumbledore said "I'd like to Welcome professor Granger to our ranks as the new Transfigurations teacher and head of Gryffindor house, she will be taking over Minerva's duties because of recent events", a few of the professors sniffed Hagrid blew his nose very loudly on a spotted handkerchief " Hermione would you like to say any thing".
Hermione stood " Well I'd just like to thank you for nominating me for this job and for excepting me, I hope I will do as good a job as Minerva has done in the past", She stopped somebody was missing , somebody was not here, suddenly it came to her.
"Where is Professor Snape", she said
All of the staff looked around
" It appears as though we have forgotten him" said Dumbledore looking sheepish.
At that moment the doors to the left of the great hall opened and in strode professor Snape, his black robes billowed behind him.
To Hermione he looked exactly the same as he did nine years ago, his hair was still shoulder length and greasy, his skin was still sallow and he wore the same surly expression that made Hermione as a student shudder..
He got to the table nodded at Dumbledore sat down and stared around the room.
"Ah hello Severus we were just getting started, I was just welcoming miss Granger to our ranks", Dumbledore said smiling warmly at him.
Snape turned his black glittering eyes towards Hermione and nodded.
Hermione looked at him, many memories of pain and cruelty came back to her as she stared into those eyes of coal, she remembered all the times he had embarrassed her and her friends, all the times he had made her cry and suffer.
Hermione felt pain at that moment, but she pushed it away, she was determined to make it work with him, she was prepared to put the memories behind her and accept Snape as a work colleague instead of a bullying teacher, but that didn't stop her from disliking him.
The staff meeting dragged on, Hermione paid attention for most of it, but her eyes kept flicking to Snape who seemed to be lost in his own thoughts most of the time.
'He looks a little relaxed for a change' Hermione thought.
Suddenly Snape looked at her, his calm look disappeared and was replaced by a sour tense look.
'This was going to be a difficult year' she thought 'he hates looking at me,' but she told herself firmly even if it took all her energy she would establish a civil relationship with this man.
