Chapter Seven: First day of teaching and one more present

"Harry!! For the umpteenth time, wake up will you!?" Sev shouted at the boy. "Just 'ive mm 'inutes 'on!" Harry said and buried his head in his pillow. "Oh Gods. Not this again! Harry. I'm not Weasley. Wake up now or I'll kick your butt out of this God forsaken school! You're teaching today for Merlin's sake!" Sev said, effectively rousing Harry from slumber.

"Alrigh', Alright! I'm sorry!" Harry said while dressing up. He glanced at the clock. "Oh Gods! It's six in the morning, Severus! I don't have classes that early!" Harry complained, buttoning up his shirt and grabbing his wand. "Have you gone mad? You're a teacher now! Here's your schedule, by the way." Sev replied and handed Harry his teaching schedule. "Oh, and go hard on the first years." Sev said before he left to retrieve his robe from the wardrobe.

Harry went over his schedule. //Great. Just when Sev tells me to go hard on the first years I have two first year classes this afternoon. Just great.// Harry thought. "Yeah, it's great." Sev said as he came out of the wardrobe, all dressed up.

"Hey! No fair! You have to at least ask my permission before you read my mind!" Harry protested. "But that would take all the fun out of it. Oh and by the way, I'm watching your first class, Albus' orders. I'll be hidden so don't worry about your friends seeing me. And your first class would be?" Sev replied.

"Oh no. Tell me it isn't what I think it is! My friends'll kill me!!" Harry said. "Let me guess then. Double class, Slytherin and Gryffindor?" Sev asked, not entirely guessing. "You read my mind again!" Harry said. "You were stalling." Sev simply replied before pulling the boy in for a kiss. They broke the kiss when the need for air was too much and walked towards the great hall in silence, Serpentine wrapped on Harry's wrist, hissing softly.

"Masssster Harry, I'm rather hungry right now." Serpentine hissed. "Do you know where the owlery is now?" Harry replied. "Yessss, issss that the plasssse you brought me to before?" The tiny snake asked. Harry nodded his head. "Can you manage to go there?" Harry asked and the snake hissed a yes before Harry bent down to lower his wrist to the ground so Serpentine could easily slither to the floor without having to fall. "Have a quick munch and come back, we'll be in the great hall, you know, the place where your Massster Sssseverusss and I ate?" Harry replied and the snake hissed a yes again before it slithered toward the owlery for a snack.

All the while Severus was thinking about making a parseltongue potion that would make him temporarily parseltongue, but with just a little twist would make him permanently parseltongue. "Great idea Sev, now we can communicate to just ourselves in more than two ways." Harry said. "Don't read my mind, Potter." Sev remarked before they made and entrance through the faculty door. "But it's just fair, you were reading my mind before!" Harry argued. "Alright, just this once. I promise not to read your mind. I'll just communicate with you through our link, then when I brew that permanent parseltongue potion I'll talk to you by using the effect. Now is it fair?" The man asked.

"Yes." Harry replied simply before he dug into his food, eating feverishly as he was very hungry. "What is this I've heard about a parseltongue potion, Severus?" Albus Dumbledore said, his eyes twinkling. 'You know Harry, I think Albus is sometimes just too nosy for his own good.' Sev said to Harry, using their link. Harry choked on his butterbeer. Every head in the hall turned their way, but it was quite alright, considering there were only few students at that time of morning. The corners of Severus' mouth twitched, but he hid his laugh effectively. "It seems as if Harry was picking up a hobby of choking on his food." Was heard from a hufflepuff.

Sev told Dumbledore about his plans on the parseltongue potion, and Harry saw Malfoy entering the great hall. He stood up and walked towards the boy. "Hey, um. Malfoy?" He asked. "What!?" The boy asked, quite irritated. 'Sev, looks like the Slytherin prince, you're the king, woke up on the wrong side of bed today.' Harry said telepathically. It was the older man's turn to choke on his food. Harry chuckled inwardly. "Um, I just came by to thank you personally, and please do thank your parents for your generous gift. From the whole pile of things, the only things we've opened were the letters, and yours, Hermione's, Ron's and The Weasley's gifts. Well, I guess I'll see you later in class, then." Harry said and started to walk away. But Draco Malfoy grabbed his arm. "You're welcome, Potter, but that was only my parents' gift to you two. I have my own." Draco said and pulled two envelopes and a box that was obviously shrunk out of his robe. He handed them to Harry and waved the professor away. Harry muttered a thanks and walked back to the table, where Serpentine was waiting patiently for him.

"Sev, I thanked Draco a while ago for the jewelry, but as it turns out it was only his parents' gift to us, and he gave me this letter and box." Harry told the man. "Oh? I see you're done eating, so let's open it." Sev replied as they walked out of the great hall through the faculty exit. (A/N: I don't have to mention this again, okay? Whenever they enter the great hall the do it through the faculty entrance/exit. Okay? Good.)

They went into an empty classroom and Harry opened the letter addressed to him and handed Severus his letter.

Dear Harry,

Congratulations on your bonding, I'm sorry this took so long but it gave me quite a difficulty to shell out fifty galleons from my daily allowance as I spend a lot everyday and it's hard to arrange. I arranged a five day vacation for you both in Paris, all expenses paid. Here're your accommodations:

First class airplane tickets. I know you guys don't have passports, so I magically made you some, and they're already registered in the files, so you don't have to worry about them telling you that you have fake ones.

Fifteen meals in fifteen different famous restaurants all over Paris, five of which are in cafes for breakfast, the ten are in gourmet restaurants for lunch and dinner.

Accommodations in a five star hotel (Believe me it cost a lot) with pool, jacuzzi, room service, spa, en-suite bathroom, video games (they come with instructions just in case your muggle relatives hadn't taught you how), television, and their most luxurious suite, all reserved for you two.

All expenses paid shopping trips, worth fifty thousand (I know that's enough).

Five movie tickets, just choose what movie.

French lessons, but believe me, it's much easier to learn by magic, so I cast the spell on you two. It's temporary and only for a month.

A red Porsche sports car (A/N: I know nothing about cars, just go along with my fic), I cast a spell on both of you so you'll know how to drive for the rest of your life. I put your car in your house garage.

I bought a muggle digital camera that you can take pictures with, it also comes with instructions, and I cast a spell on it so it'll develop right away and it won't run out of film, with wizard type pictures.

If you want to go clubbing during the nights, I've talked with my contacts in the best muggle club in Paris and he gave me after a little blackmailing, access to it, and a VIP room in it. Just tell Kirsten Saunders that I sent you. The club's name is in Severus' letter.

I couldn't have missed anything else, but since the trip cost only twenty galleons, I bought you guys a muggle house. It's a muggle vacation house that overlooks a lake, and there's fishing gear in it, by the way it's completely furnished with first-class muggle furniture. Three bedrooms, each with a bathroom, The master bedroom and bathroom is en-suite. It has a nice scenery, you can visit it this summer. There's a forest, mind you it's completely safe except for some wild animals so if you want to go for walks or picnics you better take your wands with you; and there's a huge meadow. I hope you enjoy. I've asked Dumbledore for permission for your trip and he'd allowed me to let you go next week. There already are substitute teachers, so don't worry. Happy trip!

P.S. Harry, I propose a truce, and am truly sorry for everything I've done. I've heard about the muggles, and as my father has said as he had overheard from the ministry that they would be given a fine and their memories about being captured and being talked to by you and Severus will be deleted, but they will be released to continue on living their daily lives. Congratulations again.

Draco Malfoy

Harry refolded the letter, gaping. Severus had pretty much the same reaction. "Same contents, I gather?" Sev finally asked. Harry nodded and enlarged the box. He opened it and there was everything. First class airplane tickets, car keys, house keys, movie tickets, hotel access, Digital camera, A club access in case Kirsten Saunders won't let them in, their restaurant passes, eat all you want, then some pocket money and their shopping money, already in muggle money.

"Wow." Was all both could say. They looked at each other. Let's bring this to our quarters for safekeeping, hmm?" Harry asked. Sev nodded and they walked to the dungeons, but not after a passionate kiss, to be broken up by a protesting Serpentine, complaining that she's being crushed again. Harry hissed and apology, and they were off to the dungeons.

When they arrived there Severus kept the box and the letters. Harry glanced at his schedule. "My first class is at ten." He spoke to himself, glancing at the clock. Eight o'clock, so Harry still had time to work on his homework. Sev was working on his lesson plan for the next month.

Time passed by a little quickly, and soon Harry found himself and Severus walking towards his DADA classroom. Sev drank an invisibility potion, to be invisible to the students but not to Harry. Then as the room began to fill in, Harry made a grand entrance, Severus trailing behind him, and he seated himself on a stool in a corner.

"Good morning everyone." Harry said and went to stand in front. "Oh, by the way, Draco, apology accepted and thanks from both of us. Ron and Hermione, thanks for the gifts, extend our thanks to your families. To the rest of you, sorry we hadn't opened your gifts yet, but thanks. Now onto the lesson." Harry said.

The class didn't listen, just as Severus had said, and kept talking to one another, save Draco, Ron, Hermione, Seamus, Dean and Neville. He cleared his throat. He did it again. Still they kept talking to each other. "I'M TAKING AWAY FIFTY POINTS FROM EACH HOUSE AND DETENTION TO ALL OF YOU IF YOU DON'T SHUT UP RIGHT NOW!" Harry yelled, effectively getting the class' attention.

"You go Harry." Hermione said proudly, and Ron, Seamus, Dean and Neville cheered. Harry smiled. "Alright. I'm getting right down to business. Right now I really don't have a better topic, so I'm going to discuss with you the basilisk." Harry said. A few gasps and a few groans.

"Basilisks have very deadly venom, and mind you they have huge fangs. I just have to tell you that it bit me in the arm in the second year." A few more gasps. "There are a lot of ways to kill a basilisk without magic, but I shall only give two, namely by stabbing it with a genuine silver sword, and summoning a weasel and holding it in front of the snake. The smell of the fur of weasels somehow suffocates the basilisk." Harry said.

"There are a lot of spells you can use against a basilisk, you can stun it, petrify it, but you have to be quite trained. So I'll give you a few tips." Severus silently applauded Harry. Harry continued with his lesson, and soon enough it was over, and the students have learned a lot, according to a Gryffindor. Soon when everyone had left, Severus took the counter potion and applauded Harry, kissing him passionately.

They were kissing when they heard a boy's voice in the doorway. "Oops, I've come in a wrong time, sorry for disturbing you." Draco Malfoy said before he turned to leave. "Draco, wait." Sev said and the blonde walked back in.

"What is it?" Harry asked smilingly. "Um, I just wanted to congratulate you, Harry. Oh, and I take it you liked my gift?" Draco replied. "Yeah. Thanks again!" Harry said. "Welcome. I have to go, I still have Herbology. Bye, then." Draco said. "Bye." Harry and Sev replied simultaneously and continued their previous activity.
