Thank you to everyone who has reviewed so far. Lemme know what you think about this new chapter!!
Chapter Four
Alex was storming through the halls, fury written all over her face. How could he have done that? She actually felt embarrassed even though the only one who knew of the mix up was Snape. The fact that he would go and purposely try to sabotage her drove her up the wall! What did she do to offend the man? He probably thought that she intended on deceiving him into thinking that she was actually a man in order to get the position. The absolute nerve!!
"Alex? What's wrong?" Lia asked seeing the girl pacing the hallway.
"He's a total bastard! He has no respect for anyone or anything!" Alex cried out in rage, her gray eyes flashing. Lia exchanged a mildly amused look with a woman with short blonde hair.
"I presume that you mean Severus." Lia stated with a smile tugging at her lips.
"Who else could fit that title?" Alex scoffed.
"May I ask what he did?" Lia chuckled.
"Let's see. First he switched one of the ingredients in the potion that I was teaching the class. If I hadn't noticed, someone could have gotten hurt! And then, did he show one once of remorse? Of course not! He just calmly states that he had the stupid antidote on hand." Alex yelled with her hand flailing about as she spoke out of exasperation.
"Sounds like Severus all right." The blonde laughed. "I'm Fiona, by the way."
"Alex Harper." Alex said, starting to calm down.
"This doesn't really surprise us. He's been like this since he was a boy, a spoiled self-centered little git." Lia said.
"A boy? Are you two telling me that you grew up with that poor excuse for a man?!" Alex asked in shock.
"Yes. We had the unpleasant torture of spending seven years with him but none worse then this girl here dating him." Fiona laughed, nudging Lia in the side.
"Lia! Are you serious?" Alex laughed, picturing the Potions Master and Lia as children, dating.
"I felt sorry for the boy." Lia grinned.
"Sure you did." Fiona said rolling her eyes. Lia chose not to comment further and turned back to Alex.
"Did you want to come with us to the kitchen's? We were going to grab a quick snack before the next class." Lia offered. Alex grinned thankfully.
"That's be great." The three girls headed down to the kitchens with Alex filling them in on a more detailed version of what happened during the class.
"What I don't understand is why he's picking on you like that. I mean, you didn't do anything to him, did you?" Fiona asked as she reached out to tickle the pear. The door swung open, revealing the kitchen along with the house elves, as they scurried around preparing dinner for that evening. One small elf appeared in front of the three women.
"What can Dobby get for you Misses?" Dobby squeaked out. All three women ordered sandwiches and pumpkin juice, moving to sit at an empty table in the corner.
"I didn't do anything to the man except being a woman when he thought that I was a man." Alex stated continuing the conversation.
"Hmm…that doesn't seem enough to get him to actually attempt sabotage like he did." Lia said, biting down on her bottom lip as she thought.
"Well I also stuck up for Harry and his friends yesterday." Alex said. Other then that, there had been no other real confrontation with the professor.
"That's it then. It's well known that Sev hates Harry. You sticking up for Harry, must have angered him somehow. Then again, it is easily done. In school, he would always get mad at any little thing that one of us would do." Fiona said before taking a bite of the sandwich that had been placed in front of her.
"Yes but James and Sirius would always egg him on. It went both ways." Lia argued.
"Why are you defending him, Lia? The man is a spoiled, arrogant little git." Fiona stated rather firmly.
"I do hope that you're not talking about me." A voice laughed. All three women looked up to see Remus Lupin standing next to them.
"Of course not Remus! You're the exact opposite of that, actually." Lia smiled warmly. Remus took a seat at the table.
"Then may I ask who is worthy of such a harsh title?" he inquired sneaking a bit of Alex's sandwich. She glared mockingly at him but continued eating her lunch not really minding sharing with the other professor.
"Who else. Severus." Fiona said.
"Ah! I see. What did our infamous potions master do this time?" Remus asked, sitting back in his chair.
"Only attempt to sabotage and humiliate Alex in class today." Lia said as if it was nothing. Remus just shook his head and sighed.
"Why does that not surprise me?"
"So from what I understand from all of you, he does this a lot." Alex stated, studying the three faces seated around the table.
"Actually, I don't think he has gotten this childish since our school days. But yes, this is typical Snape behavior. When I taught DADA a couple years ago, he exposed me for being a werewolf. Worked bloody hard at it too!" Remus stated.
"Now the question, Alex, is what you are going to do about it." Fiona said pushing her empty plate away, which was quickly taken away by one of the house elves.
"What do you mean do about it? What can I do?" Alex questioned.
"You know, someone once told me that revenge is sweet. What do you say Alex? Want revenge on the overgrown bat?" Fiona smirked. Lia and Remus exchanged wary looks.
"What do you suggest?" Alex grinned. The two leaned in close and started planning along with a few ideas and comments from the other two professors. Revenge was going to be sweet, indeed!
