He's a Professor Now!

Disclaimer: I do not own the characters in this Harry Potter fan fiction. I only owned Raven, and I had to be an ass and kill her off so no Characters for me.

Authors Note: Okay, since I've read The Order Of The Phoenix, I have realized that my characters are very out of character, which completely pissed me off, but I will keep them the way they currently are in my fic. My next fic, which will be a Remus fic, will be in character. I hope that how my characters are very ooc will not turn you off of my fic. Happy reading!

                        It had only been a few weeks since Lily had come to Hogwarts, but it seemed only a few hours to her. Soon Lily realized that she might be in Hogwarts as a visitor as the students came in. Lily thought it never grew old to talk to her old professors, and they never tired of her either. One night at dinner there was a discussion of a new professor.

                        "But Albus, he's too young," Poppy said as she chopped up her steak.

                        "No, Poppy, he passed all of his requirements for being a Professor, and he shall be one. He was always ahead of his classes at potions."

                        "By the way your talking, I'd say your talking about Severus Snape," Lily said looking down the table at Dumbledore. Dumbledore nodded, his crystal blue eyes sparkling.

                        "He'll be arriving tomorrow on the Train. Don't worry he won't murder you in your sleep."

                        "Oh." Lily said looking down at her mashed potatoes. It came as a complete shock to her that Severus would be a teacher here at Hogwarts. It had always been a dream of Lily's to take a position at Hogwarts as a Charms professor, but she ended up being an Auror.

                        Poppy bristled and waved her knife around as she spoke. "There's no need to talk like that right now, Albus! With the threat of you-know-who so near!"

                        "His name is Voldemort, Poppy, there is no need to be scared of his name."

*~*~*

                        The next day everyone waited in the Great Hall for Severus to appear. Right on time, the two doors of the Great Hall were thrown open and a tall man walked through the doors, his black robes billowing in the wind. Lily looked at him and noticed he had grown a mustache. Dumbledore walked forward and clasped the younger mans hand in his.

                        "Welcome Severus." Dumbledore said, a smile lighting his face.

                        "Thank you, headmaster." Severus said picking up his bag again. Severus flicked his wand and his other bags hovered in behind him. "I would very much like to go to my chambers and sleep."

                        "Oh, of course." Albus said, his smile faltering for a moment before showing Severus to his room.

                        "Well wasn't he just pleasant?" Poppy said sarcastically as she went up the stairs. Lily followed after her. "Now darling, are you ready to be a mother? Harry wants to come out and see his parents!"

                        "I'm just about ready to scream because my back hurts so often, so I am ready to get him out of me." Lily said laughingly holding her stomach with one hand, and putting her other hand on the small of her back.

                        "Yes, it's a hard time, but just think. Before your eyes he will grow, and he'll be in Hogwarts before you know it!"

                        "Oh don't get me started, I might cry!" Lily said as she rubbed her nose. "Good-night Poppy."

                        "Goodnight, Lily!"
