Summary: A new defence against the dark arts teacher arrives at Hogwarts and catches Snape's eye in a way he doesn't want her too.
A/N: PLEASE R&R!!! I would love you all for it!!
Visit to Hagrid's
The next night at dinner, Hagrid invited me to his house.
"It's not that great, but it's my home," I smiled at him,
"Of course I'll join you! It will be interesting to see some of the things that you have!" Hagrid beamed at me, and I genuinely felt happy to have a great friend like him. Not many people like 'dangerous' creatures like me. In fact, some people steer clear of me because of it.
"Well if you're not doing anything tomorrow.."
"That would be great! I'll come down once I'm out of bed, which would surely be after lunch," I grinned at Hagrid, making him chuckle.
"Either that or you have arranged to meet somebody and won't be back before noon," Snape butted in, glaring. I wonder what his problem is,
"If you REALLY don't trust me then come check up on me," I then grinned, in a seductive way, "But no funny business, I'm happily single," There was a sort of laugh that emerged from Dumbledore's mouth which was then disguised as a cough. Snape's mouth turned into a firm line and he narrowed his eyes, considerably,
"Do not even entertain that thought, Vixen, why would anyone be attracted to you anyway?" He hissed, trying to insult me.
"Well I've got a whole list if you want it," I replied innocently, before Snape stood up and stormed out of the Hall. "Was it something I said?" I asked innocently, before starting to laugh. The teachers looked at me startled, but Dumbledore and Hagrid chuckled,
"Never before has Professor Snape had somebody to rival him," Professor McGonogall commented, smiling slightly. "May I remind you though, that you must remain civil to him, Professor Vixen. Do not want to jeopardise your career so early on,"
"Oh lighten up, Minerva. We need a bit of humour in this castle, even if it is at the expense of somebody else," Dumbledore winked at me. I grinned,
"I'll try and cut back. Anyway, I have to do some planning so if you'll excuse me,"
"Mind if I join you?" A bright-eyed young witch asked. I looked kind of startled but nodded all the same,
"So what's your name?" I asked her as we started walking.
"Kayla Matthews. I am teaching Arithmancy this year, I'm new here too," I smiled at her,
"Finally somebody to relate to! This place is huge isn't it? Lucky I've got this map!" The young witch, twirled her dirty blonde hair and gazed at me with her green eyes,
"Yeah, I need one too! But I love this place! That Snape guy is a little scary. I had to sit next to him and he kept on glaring at me, as if I was a Voldemort follower or something," I looked at her shocked,
"Not many people can say his name, but I know what you mean about Snape. I mean, he said it out loud about me, maybe he's just not a trusting guy," I commented, as I reached my door. "Well I will see you at breakfast tomorrow, I suppose? Well that's if you aren't secretly meeting Voldemort and won't make it," I laughed with her, just as Snape walked past, glaring suspiciously at us, which made us laugh more.
"Well have fun, Professor Vixen,"
"Call me Primo. How old are you anyway?"
"Twenty five. How about you, if you don't mind me asking,"
"Thirty five, ten years your senior. Well I really have to start preparing, goodnight,"
"Night!" Kayla called before I shut the door and started planning my lessons for this year.
MORNING
At about eleven, I finally dragged myself out of bed and dressed myself into dark green robes. Just as I picked up my hairbrush, I was startled to hear a sharp knock on my door,
"Come in," I called a little uncertainly. It was Professor Snape. I never realised he would actually carry through with his threat,
"Oh hello Professor Snape, like my room?" I asked as he showed his disgust. I laughed, "It had noises to go along with it as well. Noises please," I said and then my room sounded like the forest. "Professor, why are you checking up on me? Do you not trust me?"
"We have had previous teachers who have worked for Voldemort and I do not wish to risk the safety of the students," I looked surprised at this piece of information,
"I can assure you that I am not working for Lord Voldemort, but I suppose you can never be too careful. Watch me as closely as you like for the next year. Anything to make you realise that I am not working for Voldemort."
"Very well then. Good day to you, Vixen."
"Primo" I called after him,
"Excuse me?"
"My name is Primo, please call me by it," He seemed startled for a second but quickly masked it with a sneer,
"I will not refer to you by your first name."
"Whatever pleases you, Severus," I replied, walking back into my bathroom and hear him storming off. Once I had finished tidying myself up, I went down to Hagrid's home, with help of the map. I knocked on the door and was quite startled to hear a deep booming bark from inside,
"Down Fang! Com' in!" I heard Hagrid call from his hut. I walked in and saw there was only one room, but there was nothing wrong with it. I smiled kindly at Hagrid,
"Hello! Oh," I laughed as Hagrid's dog bounded over to me and rested his head in my lap,
"That's Fang. He's a boar'ound, great dog," I grinned and patted Fang. Just as Hagrid and I were getting deep into conversation, there was a sharp knock at the door, which I had already heard this morning. Fang bounded over to the door and Hagrid had to keep Fang under control before he could answer the door.
"Hullo Professor Snape, what're ya here for?" I looked at him suspiciously, probably checking up on me,
"I was just coming to remind you of-" He paused and glared at me.
"Oh. I'm not listening," I blocked my ears and starting humming to myself as Hagrid and Snape had their little chat. Once Snape left, I unblocked my ears and grinned,
"Hey I have to get going soon,"
"Before ya go, I wanna show ya somethin'," He opened the door to his hut and beckoned me out. I followed him into the forest, which was forbidden to all students.
"What are you showing me, Hagrid?" I asked, curiously.
"It's a surprise." He said mysteriously, before stopping me and waiting a little while. Hagrid gave a weird cry that I recognised as a cry to bring Thestrals. Soon enough, a Thestral came through the trees looking around at us curiously. I gasped, it had been a while since I had seen one of these.
"Can you see 'im?" Hagrid asked. I nodded and slowly went over to pat the Thestral. "Who did you see die?"
"My father," I replied, before turning and walking away. My father had only just recently died and I did not want to talk about it.
A/N: Ok that's the second chapter! I can't do the Hagrid talking thing so sorry about that!
