" Professor Snape I would like you to meet someone." Dumbledore called out as the potions master sat down. " Please meet Ms. Victoria Green. She is the new student I was telling you about."
For just the briefest moment Victoria saw surprise flash through his eyes before they hardened into pools of onyx.
Snape shot the woman next to him a dirty look. He couldn't believe it. Had Dumbledore gone completely mad? How was he supposed to teach this slip of a girl anything when she had the stupidity to wander around in a place that she knew nothing about?
A lightbulb went off in his head.
If he was supposed to teach her over the summer, he would make sure he made her life a living hell. If only to repay her for the blow she had dealt him back in the dungeons. The corners of his mouth curled into a ghost of a smirk. perhaps this summer won't be a complete waste of my time.
Dumbledore gave him a knowing but stern look as if he had read Snape's mind. Clearly warning him if his behavior towards this girl was uncalled for, Snape would have Dumbledore to answer to. Noting this bit of information Snape filed it away for future reference.
Eyes sparkling again, Dumbledore cleared his throat.
Victoria jumped and turned her attention from her pondering the enigma of the dark man beside her and back to the headmaster.
" Now that we are all acquainted, I must impose myself on you Ms. Green. I as the headmaster of this school must know if you are willing to accept out invitation and attend here at Hogwarts. Think hard because I want you to make your choice without any reservations."
Both men looked toward her awaiting her answer Snape raising an eyebrow.
Lost in her own thoughts Victoria ignored both as she thought about her options. Somehow she knew that if she declined his offer she would lose this opportunity and would not be asked again.
Professor Snape watched her as she thought. He felt no magic radiating off her what so ever. To him she was exactly what a muggle was supposed to be. Everything about screamed 'muggle'. From her long blond hair pulled up into a messy ponytail to what he thought were outrageously indecent shorts and tank top. The only thing about her that held his interest were her large expressive eyes. They were bright green and at the moment were slightly glazed in concentration.
He snorted in disgust. They remind me of Potter's
What do I really want? Am I really this powerful person that I knew nothing about? Can I really do magic? I thought magic only existed in fairy tales. What would Niki and Brandon say? If I suddenly disappear they would have a fit, I'll have to send them some kind of note or something. Their gona think that I'd flipped and have me committed.
Suddenly she was over joyed. She wouldn't have to go to her crumby dead end job anymore! True she would have some loose ends to tie up but she was sure that Dumbledore would give her time for them.
Victoria let out a sigh. She had come to her decision.
" I would be more that happy to attend your school Headmaster. However there are some loose ends I will have to take care of."
A Wide grin broke out on the Headmaster's face. " Of course, that would be expected. Professor Snape can escort you on your errands and I'm sure he will be more than happy to help you with any packing you will want to do because you will live here at Hogwarts."
Victoria missed the look of absolute fury and disgust Professor Snape gave Dumbledore.
Chuckling he gave Snape a look that clearly stated that he better darn be. " Do you think you can get everything done early tomorrow? Then Hagrid can take you to Diagon Alley to get what school things you will need over the summer. You will have the rest of the weekend to get ready for your first classes on Monday. Here is your schedule."
Thinking about all the things she would have to do tomarrow Victoria nodded and took the piece of parchment that he handed to her.
"Excellent! Well then Ms. Green, welcome to Hogwarts! Shall we go to dinner? I dare say it is almost over and the other teachers are dying to meet the new mystery student."
Feeling very nervous at the thought of having to meet new people Victoria stood with the men and let them go first out the door. She was now attending a school that taught witchcraft. Something that she thought didn't exist. A tendril of dread spiraled through her settling in the pit of her stomach as she walked.
Were all the teachers like Professor Snape?
Oh no, what have I gotten myself in to?
Descending down the spiral staircase she mused to herself. The headmaster sure is nice though, I wonder if I'm going to be able to fit in around here, uh oh
How was she going to be able to blend in with the students when she was already over the normal graduating age?
Clearing her throat she asked. " Umm.... Professor Dumbledore.... just how am I going to ummm.... going to...... fit in here? It seems that I'm going to be to old to fit in with the other students."
Snape gave a snort. He grinned evilly to himself. She won't make it that long. He'd have her out of here in a week if not less. This next week was going to be fun.
Dumbledore gave a comforting smile when he saw her look of anxiety. "Don't worry about that for right now my dear, seeing as how it is summer there are no students at the moment."
Her stomach gave a large growl.
Mortified Victoria apologized for her stomachs rude comments as Dumbledore looked amused and Snape utterly disgusted.
" Oh no, I'm so sorry, I haven't had much to eat today, just some yogurt and a piece of candy." (she'd found it earlier in the bottom recesses of her purse)
" That's quite alright, and we just happen to be on our way to dinner." Taking her hand he placed it in the crook of his arm and gave her a large grin.
Oh great, here it comes. Snape thought and rolled his eyes. Victoria said the magic word.
Candy.....
" What kind of candy was it? I have a great affection for sweets."
Rolling his eyes once again Snape toned their 'candy' conversation out. He had better things to do then go to dinner with the rest of the staff and he didn't get along with most of them anyway. Why was he always drug into things like this? He should be safely ensconced in his dungeon quarters long ago as far from other people as possible.
Sighing, he went back over the earlier conversation with Dumbledore. The mystery student was an over aged girl from America. She had no training and he was supposed to teach her four years of potions over the summer, which was approximately eight weeks.
Maybe this summer wasn't going to be as fun as he had hoped .
His thoughts were interrupted by a trickle of laughter that soon dissolved into full on howling.
Bloody hell, now What?
" You like candy? " Victoria asked with astonishment.
" Oh yes, very much so. I especially like muggle candy. It is my favorite thing that they make."
" Muggle... what is that???"
" I don't think that has come up in out conversation yet. You see a muggle is what people like us call non magic folk." Dumble dore started to explain the difference when Victoria nodded and held up her hand.
" I understand Professor. So you like muggle candy as well... hmmm... I wonder, how many you can name???"
Surprisingly he only knew a few so she started to count them off on her fingers.
" Well, lets see.... we could start out with what Hershey's makes. There's almond joy, mounds, 5th avenue, good and plenty, heath bar, Hershey's kisses, jolly rancher, milk duds, payday, reese's peanut butter cups, twizzlers, whoppers, york peppermint patties. Those are just the main names, there is all different types. Then there is shock tarts, skittles, starbursts, candy corn, butterfingers, I could go on all day."
Dumbledore's eyes got wider as she started naming candy. How could she know so many?
Victoria glanced up and say the look on his face. She couldn't help but giggle.
" Don't look so surprised Professor, I work in a Supermarket." At his puzzled expression she quickly added. " It's where muggles come to buy food."
Suddenly a light bulb went off in her head and she broke out in to laughter. Stopping in the middle of the corridor.
Snape snapped out or his reserved expression as she got louder. His lips curling into a sneer he asked.
" What in the world is she laughing about?"
Dumbledore's expression said that he had no idea.
" Has she gone mad?"
Trying to talk through her laughter Victoria started to explain.
" Oh! hahahaha...Now I... hahahaha.... under....hahaha.....stand...."
Both men looked at her with eyebrows raised.
His voice silky smooth Snape asked like she was a imbecile." And just what have you come to an understanding about Ms. Green?"
Wiping the tears from her eyes she answered. " Why you said lemon drop's."
He looked at her like she was off her rocker.
" Lemon drop's?" he sneered. " That's the password to the headmaster's office. Why would you come to a revelation about that now?"
Victoria rolled her eyes. She was not about to let him get the better of her so she geared up for a big argument.
" How was I supposed to know that his password was lemon drop's? I'm sorry but I must of missed that memo."
Snape snorted.
" You weren't supposed to know the password you fool!"
" Oh, well soorrryyy!!!" Victoria yelled throwing her hands up in the air. Absoutly the man had no since of humor.
" Why would me saying the password be of amusement to you anyway?"
" Why, why... do you really want to know why????"
Snape was sure now that the girl was barking mad. She had no reasoning what so ever.
Dumbledore looked at them like they were both nutters. He cleared his throat.
" Now Children, if you two are quite finished bickering I would like hear Victoria's answer if you don't mind."
" So would I." Putting on his most venomous look Snape crossed his arms across his chest. His voice dripping with sarcasm.
"Well Professors." Victoria started to explain shooting a death glare towards Snape. " When I had the good fortune of meeting 'Professor Snape' here it was somewhere in a dark corridor. He came slinking out of the darkness and I ran in to him and I could of swore he was a vampire so I ran. When he caught me and drug me down the hallways the only thing I could think of was that I was going to die."
Dumbledore's eyes were now twinkling madly at her story of how she and Snape met. He nodded her to continue.
" So anyway, here I was with this vampire dragging me through hallways, when he growls at me that he wasn't a blood sucker but that he was a teacher.
Snape snorted at her description.
"I thought mmm hmmm, yeah right like I'm going to believe that. Here was this scary dark man, jumps out at me, dressed in black, in a castle, and I have no clue where I am at. So I'm totally freaked out and not paying attention anymore because I'm resigned to the fact that I'm going to die. Then all of a sudden he stops and says 'lemon drop's' witch totally goes against his whole scary vampire teacher thing."
By then Dumbledore was laughing and Snape was absoutly furious.
How dare she talk about me that way!
Snape opened his mouth about to give he a piece of his mind when Dumbledore wiped his eyes.
" Yes I can see why you thought that the professor saying my password here was indeed comical."
She nodded. " I had no clue why he said it until you and I were having our discussion on candy and then it clicked."
" That was quite a meeting if you ask me." Dumbledore stated as they continued towards the great hall.
( Should I stop here??? (( Evil laughter)) Neah, that would be so mean!!! But in exchange I want a reviews!!! Lots and Lots of Reviews!!!!! Pretty please!!! puppy dog look....Thanks!!!)
For probably once in his life Snape was speechless. As he walked behind the pair he could only silently fume. He didn't know who to be madder at, Ms. Green for making a crack at him or Dumbledore for allowing it.
Boy is she going to pay, to bad I can't take off points or give detentions... yet
He inwardly smiled. He now had two things he had to get her back for. His nose and now her comment about the password. If it was up to him she would now be serving detention till next Christmas and he had enough cauldrons left over from last year it would take her that long.
Meanwhile in the great hall the teachers that had stayed for the summer were growing impatient. Professor Minerva McGonagall was nervously playing with her food.
Where is Albus? He should be here by now with the new student.
Madam Hooch and Professor Flitwick were in a heated discussion about who the student would be and Professor Sprout, Madame Pince, and Hagrid were still eating.
" Doan' cha worry Professor, I'm sure Dumbledore is come'n with the new student any minute now." Hagrid tried to reassure McGonagall.
Sure enough, the doors to the great hall opened with the end of his words. All eyes turned expectantly and in the doors stood no other than Professor Trelawney. What in Merlin's name she doing down here?
Everyone let out a collective sigh... false alarm.
Sweeping up between the great tables her many bangles sparkling and clanking Professor Trelawney approached the teachers table.
" They are coming. " Trelawney stated in a airy and mysterious voice.
Floating around the table she settled herself next to Professor McGonagall. In the same voice she continued.
" I see death and much sorrow in the future of our new student."
Minerva rolled her eyes. So what else is new? Why dose she always have to sit near me everytime we see her? Sighing she ignored Trelawney as if she hadn't said anything to her.
Suddenly all of the ghosts in Hogwarts filled into the great hall through a wall. And surprisingly enough Peeves was with them and behaving.
What in the world is with them
Nearly Headless Nick and the The Bloody Baron seemed to be leading the procession of ghosts with the The Fat Friar, Professor Binns, and the Grey Lady bringing up the rear.
" Sir Nicholas, can you explain what is going on here?" Minerva asked the ghost of her house.
Since when do Gryffindor's and Slytherin's get along even when they're ghosts? And how did they get Peeves to behave?
" Well good evening Professor McGonagall!" The ghost said in a jovial voice. "We are just coming to greet are newest student."
The world was coming to an end. The to rival house ghosts were working together and Peeves was not throwing things.
She was completely flabbergasted. Who is this student that had created such an impact and hasn't even been introduced to the school yet?
The ghosts lined up to the right of the head table and silently awaited the arrival of the headmaster. The other teachers were starting to get nervous now. They had never seen Peeves behave himself and it was starting to freak grown wizards out.
" Here they come." breathed Professor Trelawney.
The great doors opened slowly to reveal a young woman in muggle clothes with Albus Dumbledore and Professor Severus Snape on ether side. Dumbledore's eyes were twinkling madly and it looked like he was trying not to laugh, on the other hand Snape was furious and looked like he was about to explode.
I wonder what made Severus even mader then usual mused Minerva. A muggle girl. She was used to Dumbledore and his crazy ideas.
The trio walked down the middle isle and up to the head table.
" Good evening everyone, sorry were late." Dumbledore greeted everyone he didn't even raise an eyebrow at the assembled ghosts and with a sweep of his hands pronounced. " Teachers and ghosts of Hogwarts, I give you our newest student Ms. Victoria Green."
Snape snorted again. Victoria gave him a dirty look that said humor him.
As the headmaster introduced her to them individually she gave them a small curtsy.
"Ms. Green may I introduce Professor McGonagall, she is the Transfiguration teacher, Head of Gryffindor house, and Deputy Headmistress at Hogwarts. Rubeus Hagrid, the keeper of keys and grounds at Hogwarts and teaches Care of Magical Creatures."
Hagrid gave her a nod and a wink.
"Madam Hooch, Hogwarts Flying Instructor. Professor Flitwick, Charms teacher and head of Ravenclaw. Professor Sprout, Herbology teacher and head of Huffelpuff. Professor Trelawney, she teaches Divination. Professor Snape, who you already met teaches Potions and is head of Slytherin house. Mr. Filch the castle caretaker. Madame Pince our Librarian, and Professor Binns, teaches history of magic."
Victoria was desperately trying to remember all the teachers names, what they taught and be polite at the same time.
" Then there are the ghosts Nearly Headless Nick,"
" Sir Nicholas De Mimsy-Porpington if you don't mind." the ghost interjected. " I despise being called Nearly Headless Nick."
Victoria nodded.
Dumbledore continued.
" Sir Nicholas is the ghost of the Gryffindor Tower, The Bloody Baron is the Slytherin's ghost, The Fat Friar, The Grey Lady, Moaning Myrtle, and Peeves the Poltergeist. " ( sorry I don't remember them all tell me if I misses some)
Each teacher and ghost gave a hello or word of welcome to her as they were named except the Bloody Baron. Covered in silver blood stains she couldn't help but be creaped out.
" Pleased to meet you all." Victoria greeted them ignoring the death stare from Snape. " I look forward to having your classes and seeing you around the castle."
" Well with all the introductions done I think we should eat." Dumbledore said to Snape and Victoria. He winked at her.
During the course of the meal Victoria got to know quite a few of the teachers. Most of the ghost had floated off somewhere but Sir Nicholas and to the surprise of the staff. The Bloody Barron stayed to talk to her.
She talked to Professor Sprout quite a bit about the difference and uses from magical plants and muggle ones. Professor Trelawney tried to predict her forshadowing death in her wispy voice. Personally Victoria thought she was a crack pot and a fraud. The tiny Professor Flitwick was cute and charming Maybe that's why he teaches Charms Madam Hooch was a very busy person but she was nice and Hagrid was nice but shy.
When Victoria tried to include Snape in their conversation about different herbs and their uses he gave her a death glare and swept from the table and exited out the main doors.
Mumbling different obscenities about overgrown bats and other more explicit things she went back to talking to Professor Sprout.
" Don't worry about him Victoria," Sprout reassured her" That slimy git hates everyone it's when he wants to talk to you that you have to worry."
Slimy git? Well his hair is rather greasy. But he looks so sad and lonely... she mentally slapped herself What am I thinking? This is the guy that about gave me a heart attack earlier and he have been anything but nice to me." What do I care?
" Don't worry Professor, I don't think I'll make that mistake again."
Well what do you think??? Sorry this chapter is so boring.... But I had to give Victoria some information about her teachers ( even if we already knew most of it) so she knew what she was up against.... hee hee just kidding. Any way... What do you think is up with the ghosts??? Peeves behaving??? It is the end of the world!!!!! (Evil laughter) Well it is significant in later chappies. But I think I left one of the teachers out.... Do you know who it is???? VERY IMPORTANT!!!! We'll see what happens next!!!! Well Later y'all..... R&R!!!!!! green slytherin chick

What in the world is with them
Nearly Headless Nick and the The Bloody Baron seemed to be leading the procession of ghosts with the The Fat Friar, Professor Binns, and the Grey Lady bringing up the rear.
" Sir Nicholas, can you explain what is going on here?" Minerva asked the ghost of her house.
Since when do Gryffindor's and Slytherin's get along even when they're ghosts? And how did they get Peeves to behave?
" Well good evening Professor McGonagall!" The ghost said in a jovial voice. "We are just coming to greet are newest student."
The world was coming to an end. The to rival house ghosts were working together and Peeves was not throwing things.
She was completely flabbergasted. Who is this student that had created such an impact and hasn't even been introduced to the school yet?
The ghosts lined up to the right of the head table and silently awaited the arrival of the headmaster. The other teachers were starting to get nervous now. They had never seen Peeves behave himself and it was starting to freak grown wizards out.
" Here they come." breathed Professor Trelawney.
The great doors opened slowly to reveal a young woman in muggle clothes with Albus Dumbledore and Professor Severus Snape on ether side. Dumbledore's eyes were twinkling madly and it looked like he was trying not to laugh, on the other hand Snape was furious and looked like he was about to explode.
I wonder what made Severus even mader then usual mused Minerva. A muggle girl. She was used to Dumbledore and his crazy ideas.
The trio walked down the middle isle and up to the head table.
" Good evening everyone, sorry were late." Dumbledore greeted everyone he didn't even raise an eyebrow at the assembled ghosts and with a sweep of his hands pronounced. " Teachers and ghosts of Hogwarts, I give you our newest student Ms. Victoria Green."
Snape snorted again. Victoria gave him a dirty look that said humor him.
As the headmaster introduced her to them individually she gave them a small curtsy.
"Ms. Green may I introduce Professor McGonagall, she is the Transfiguration teacher, Head of Gryffindor house, and Deputy Headmistress at Hogwarts. Rubeus Hagrid, the keeper of keys and grounds at Hogwarts and teaches Care of Magical Creatures."
Hagrid gave her a nod and a wink.
"Madam Hooch, Hogwarts Flying Instructor. Professor Flitwick, Charms teacher and head of Ravenclaw. Professor Sprout, Herbology teacher and head of Huffelpuff. Professor Trelawney, she teaches Divination. Professor Snape, who you already met teaches Potions and is head of Slytherin house. Mr. Filch the castle caretaker. Madame Pince our Librarian, and Professor Binns, teaches history of magic."
Victoria was desperately trying to remember all the teachers names, what they taught and be polite at the same time.
" Then there are the ghosts Nearly Headless Nick,"
" Sir Nicholas De Mimsy-Porpington if you don't mind." the ghost interjected. " I despise being called Nearly Headless Nick."
Victoria nodded.
Dumbledore continued.
" Sir Nicholas is the ghost of the Gryffindor Tower, The Bloody Baron is the Slytherin's ghost, The Fat Friar, The Grey Lady, Moaning Myrtle, and Peeves the Poltergeist. " ( sorry I don't remember them all tell me if I misses some)
Each teacher and ghost gave a hello or word of welcome to her as they were named except the Bloody Baron. Covered in silver blood stains she couldn't help but be creaped out.
" Pleased to meet you all." Victoria greeted them ignoring the death stare from Snape. " I look forward to having your classes and seeing you around the castle."
" Well with all the introductions done I think we should eat." Dumbledore said to Snape and Victoria. He winked at her.
During the course of the meal Victoria got to know quite a few of the teachers. Most of the ghost had floated off somewhere but Sir Nicholas and to the surprise of the staff. The Bloody Barron stayed to talk to her.
She talked to Professor Sprout quite a bit about the difference and uses from magical plants and muggle ones. Professor Trelawney tried to predict her forshadowing death in her wispy voice. Personally Victoria thought she was a crack pot and a fraud. The tiny Professor Flitwick was cute and charming Maybe that's why he teaches Charms Madam Hooch was a very busy person but she was nice and Hagrid was nice but shy.
When Victoria tried to include Snape in their conversation about different herbs and their uses he gave her a death glare and swept from the table and exited out the main doors.
Mumbling different obscenities about overgrown bats and other more explicit things she went back to talking to Professor Sprout.
" Don't worry about him Victoria," Sprout reassured her" That slimy git hates everyone it's when he wants to talk to you that you have to worry."
Slimy git? Well his hair is rather greasy. But he looks so sad and lonely... she mentally slapped herself What am I thinking? This is the guy that about gave me a heart attack earlier and he have been anything but nice to me." What do I care?
" Don't worry Professor, I don't think I'll make that mistake again."
Well what do you think??? Sorry this chapter is so boring.... But I had to give Victoria some information about her teachers ( even if we already knew most of it) so she knew what she was up against.... hee hee just kidding. Any way... What do you think is up with the ghosts??? Peeves behaving??? It is the end of the world!!!!! (Evil laughter) Well it is significant in later chappies. But I think I left one of the teachers out.... Do you know who it is???? VERY IMPORTANT!!!! We'll see what happens next!!!! Well Later y'all..... R&R!!!!!! green slytherin chick
