Chapter three: A little payback
Dear Severus: I begin by asking you to forgive me for leaving so suddenly. I can't explain to you know why I did it, in case this letter falls in the wrong hands. The reason for this letter is to ask you to come stay with me over Christmas. I'm not sure if you will want to stay in your new school with your friends so I write now to know if you want to come with time so I can have everything ready. I'm living close to the town of Hogsmade. I can't give you all the details in this letter, it's to risky for the same reason than before. You must never tell your father or Mordred that you received this or any letter a write to you. I can't tell you why here, this will be our little secret. I hope you answer this letter soon and tell me all about your first days in school.
With love: Mum P.S. The owl is yours to keep. His name is Hourus.
Serverus almost jumped out of his seat when he read the letter. She hadn't forgotten about him after all. He read over several times, and at the owl he had just received. He couldn't believe how he had doubted his mother. Just as he was feeling happy, Mordred came by.
"What do you got there Serverus?"
"Nothing" he said quickly putting away the letter "just a lost owl." Serverus hoped with all his heart that His older brother had not seen the letter.
"All right. Remember to behave today, father what's me to tell him if you do anything wrong." Said Mordred with a smirk "and you know how much trust he has on me. Have a good day." And with this he started to walk to the door were Lucius and Narcissa were waiting for him. That's when he noticed that Milady was not there. He scanned the hall waiting to see her and finally found her on another table with talking to two persons. As if on cue she looked at him and signaled him to join her. Serverus walked up to the table and noticed, thanks to the uniforms, that this was the Gryffindor table. The people with whom milady was talking seemed completely different from Mordred and his friends. There a girl and a boy, about her same age. The guy seemed tall, was thin with bright red hair that reached his shoulders and very freckly. His arm was around the girl who also had red hair and had something in her smile that Narcissa would never have, kindness. He walked up next to him and taped Milady, whom had returned to her conversation after she called him.
"Good morning Serverus, had a good breakfast?" she asked in her usual happy self.
"Yeah, it was really good, I had never seen so much bacon in my life." he said smiling innocently. All three teenagers chuckled at this.
"This was the boy I was telling you about Arthur." said Milady addressing the tall redhead.
"Oh really, Molly could you excuse us of for a minute?"
"What are you guys going to do know? Arthur you are Head Boy now, you can't keep up the same behavior you always had-"
"Don't worry Molly, it was my idea." said Milady.
"Besides, your no saint yourself Molly." said Arthur with a big grin, earning him a small hit from Molly.
"Im going before you come up with any ideas" she said as she got up.
"Remember the Stones concert Molly! That was your idea!" he called after her making Milady star laughing out loud. Molly just waved and left the hall.
"Since when is she so concerned about rules?" asked Milady raising an eyebrow.
"Since I beated Lucius for Head Boy."
Serverus knew what that meant. It meant he was a model student. When Mordred received a letter from Lucius telling him who the Head Boy was, he remembered his brother saying how could the headmaster choose such a loser. He kept saying how the guy didn't deserve the title and that Lucius or himself should have gotten it. By this Serverus imagined a slacker, a rule breaking punk or something, but not the guy who was in front of him. His long hair was held back in a ponytail and his freckly face had a light tan from someone who spent a lot of time outdoors. Examining this older student, Serverus noticed something about him and Milady. Arthur was not wearing the pants that the uniform required, but worn jeans, and his tie was hanging from his pocket instead of his neck. Also the robe seemed rather worn to, unlike the new robes his brother had. Then he noticed Milady's uniform. Her skirt was shorter than it should, or so it seemed to him. Her hair was lose and he noticed several chains and from her neck. Her robe was also worn and her shoes were black moccasins instead of school shoes.
"What is it?" she asked when she saw the curious face with which Serverus was looking at them.
"Nothing I was just...admiring your uniforms." Both Arthur and Milady laughed at this.
"Let's just say we have a very different lifestyle than your brother." said Arthur still chuckling " Anyway, to business. Lady told me about the sorting."
Serverus turned to Milady, his eyes wide.
"You told the Head Boy?!"
"Hey chill I wont tell anyone, your secret is safe with me."
"That's right. Artie wont tell a soul, he is going to help me."
"What are you going to do?"
"Oh nothing much, don't worry. Now go to your class, you don't want to be late on your first day."
"But what about you two?"
"Oh don't worry, we got History of Magic, Prof. Binns doesn't really notice, what do you have?"
"..Transfiguration."
"You better get going then, you don't want to be late for McGonagall's class on your first day."
After the told him how to get to the classroom Serverus went on his way. Getting to the classroom was more difficult than it seemed. First there were the moving staircases, and not to mention the one's with disappearing steps, the ones with trick steps, the ones that would turn in to a slide and other types of steps. Once you got past the staircases, there were the doors to deal with. Doors that were walls pretending to be doors, doors that would only open if you asked nicely or if you tickled them on a specific spot. By the time Serverus finally made it to the classroom, most of the seats were taken so he decided to seat on the back of the classroom. Prof. McGonagall, the same witch he had seen when they arrived was the teacher. She seemed a lot more confident in classroom.
"Welcome to your first Transfiguration lesson. Although many of you may think you are adept at magic, I warn you, it will not be as easy at it seems." Suddenly she turned her desk into a pig and then back into a desk. " You will not be able to turn furniture into animals very soon, maybe by 5 year." Groans resounded thru all the room. " Please don't tell me you don't think you can make it before, why don't we begin now. " Cheers this time". by turning needles into matches." Groans once again.
After transfiguration they went to History of magic and understood why Milady and Arthur could cut this class. The teacher didn't seem to notice that pretty much all his students had fallen asleep after the first 15 minutes. After this he had double potions with Gryffindor, the only class he was actually looking forward to. He was running down to the dungeons when he heard two people talking around a corner. As he got closer he recognized the voices as Sirius and Monica.
"Im sorry Sirius. You're a great guy and all, but you have turned into such an asshole!"
"Monica please, I promise I wont do it again!"
"Oh, like all those other times you said you were sorry?" "I mean it, I wont be like that!"
"I'm sorry Sirius.but you have to chose.I...like you a lot Sirius but James has turned you into something completely different from the boy I knew.. I'll see you in class." And she walked to the classroom, leaving Sirius with on the corner. Serverus had no idea why, but he was walking directly to him. He could see that Sirius was having a hard time to stay composed.
"What do you want?" he asked when he saw Serverus.
"Just wanted to see if you were ok."
"I'm fine" he said standing straight and began to walk away." I don't need help from you."
They both reached the entrance of the dungeon, Serverus walking a bit behind Sirius. That's when he saw Arthur talking to James. He got closer to see what was happening.
"Well Jason, I'm sorry but orders are orders."
"It's James, she can't be calling me now, Prof. McGonagall knows I have potions now."
"Well she told me to bring you over John."
"Well, if it's for that I guess ill have to go, hey Remus, can I borrow your notes after I come back?"
"Sure.John."
"Shut up, well Mr. Weasley let's go, can't keep her waiting can we."
"No we can't" he said with a huge smile" just follow me. Prof. Cassell Ill have to borrow Potter for a moment, orders from the top."
"Tell the Professor this is the last time I will allow her to call a student during my class, and fix that tie."
"Yes sir, I'll tell her." Said Arthur putting on the tie that Serverus had seen in his pocket." Come on." And with this James and Arthur went up to the school. Serverus entered the classroom and sat next to Monica (who also told him se was fine when he asked) and couldn't help feeling happy about what was about to happen to James. But his happiness was dampened by Cassel when he made a role call and stopped at his name.
"Are you related to Mordred Snape?"
"Yes, his my brother."
"Strange, I never heard he had any siblings."
Just what I needed, he thought to himself, a reminder of how much I'm hated at home. The class was so far the longest; Serverus didn't know if it was just a long class or if the fact that he was starving had anything to do with it. After what seemed like an eternity Cassel told them they could leave. Serverus used this chance to try and talk to Monica once more. It should be noted that James still hadn't returned.
"Are you ok?" he tried once more as they exited the classroom.
"I'm fine." She said stubbornly.
"Come on, you don't look fine, you can tell me."
"Listen, just forget it, I'm fine." And with this she left him. Serverus decided to let her be alone for a while, maybe later she would tell him what was wrong. Serverus almost ran to the Hall were he sat down and began to furiously eat his chicken with mashed potatoes. He was almost done when he felt someone put a hand on his shoulder. It was Milady.
"I don't think Potter will give you any further problems." She said with a smile and pointed at the Gryffindor table. That's when he noticed Sirius looking at James, Remus also looking but with a small smile, Lily trying to keep a straight face and Monica turned to her right gave a small smile and then went back to her lunch with a serious face. The cause of their excitement was James face. He had a black eye and his glasses were held together by what seemed like yards of spellotape. His uniform was messed up and he had a look of paranoia was set on his face. Serverus turned to Milady with a smile on his face.
"What did you guys do?" he asked her.
"Let's just say Arthur and I am good at persuading people.using what ever method we need to use. He tried to talk Potter out of bugging you but I knew we needed more than that." She smiled. Severus's smile got wider. Being in Hogwarts was going to be better than he thought.
