A/N : Just so you know, this is not a romance, no, Snape is not going to
fall in love with the DADA teacher, nor she with him. It's just a mystery
story.
-THE CURSED POSITION
CHAPTER 2
"Hello, I believe we didn't have much of a chance to get acquainted tonight at the feast. You seemed uh .... quiet." she said entering the room, while a speechless Snape backed away clumsily.
She continued "You must be Professor Severus Snape, I've heard so much about you... good things, of course..."
He then tried to compose himself and managed to say "... uh.. yes... May I ask the purpose of you being here?"
Even though Kali was smiling, her eyes were saying exactly the opposite. That was what made him so uneasy, for what you saw at first had nothing to do with the real thing.
She then leaned closer to speak to him, "Do I make you uncomfortable?"
He cocked his head to the side scowling. He never much liked people to get too close to him, so that alone was already uncomfortable. And what exactly was she getting at?
"What makes me uncomfortable is the idea of my office being invaded by uninvited strangers!", he said.
Her smile finally faded and she was about to say something when a voice spoke from behind her. McGonagall was standing at the doorway, "I hope I'm not interrupting anything."
"Oh no, Miss Nox was just leaving.", he said shooting Kali a cold look.
"I see... uh, Severus, I've come to inform you that Dumbledore wants a word with you," said McGonagall.
"Thank You Minerva," said Snape, thankful that he could get away from that woman.
Kali left nodding to both professors in a gesture of goodbye.
"She seems nice," said McGonagall.
"That remains to be seen." Snape left the room to answer Dumbledore's orders.
As he went, not really caring about the reason Dumbledore wanted to see him, his thoughts were revolving around all the things that had happened that night and the bad feeling he had about that woman. "How dare she? He wasn't one to be intimidated by anybody!"
He said the password to get into Dumbledore's office and climbed the spiral stairs.
When he walked in, Dumbledore was worriedly gazing through the window.He heard Snape's footsteps and gestured for Snape to sit.
"I gather you are already acquainted with our Defense Against The Dark Arts teacher, and before you say anything, I must point out that she is very qualified and I'm hoping you can be a little bit more civil with her than you were with the previous teachers."
"Headmaster, could you give me more details as to who is she, and why.." Snape was interrupted in mid sentence by Dumbledore lifting his hand.
"She is qualified Severus, that's all that matters, isn't it?"
"Yes, Headmaster but there is something suspicious about her, she doesn't seem like she's being honest..." Snape was interrupted yet again.
"I found her quite harmless, if you ask me," said Dumbledore, "Now just because you resent her for taking the position..."
"That has nothing to do with me, it's just that I think she is not trustworthy."
"Now now Severus, what made you come up with that? She looks adorable, she couldn't hurt a fly," said Dumbledore standing up and moving Snape to the door.
"You should work on that grudge against Defense Against the Dark Arts' teachers, that's not healthy," he said tapping Snape's shoulder.
Snape left, anger building up in his throat.He couldn't believe what was happening!
....................................................
On the other end of the hall Harry, Ron and Hermione were sneaking out.It was way past 11pm by then. "I can't believe you lost your invisibility cloak!" Said Ron annoyed.
"Now it's too late to worry about that, we need to talk to Hagrid!" said Harry.
"Would you two quit arguing, somebody might hear us, I don't want us to get caught on our first night," Hermione whispered.
"WHAT... are you three doing out at this time of night !?" Said Snape, making them jump.
There was his opportunity to release all his anger and frustrations.
Snape smiled, evil brighting up his eyes, he walked slowly, enjoying the look of fear and anticipation in their faces. "I believe detention is in order, as well as ten points out of Gryffindor from each... of... you!
"I don't think so, Professor!" said a woman's voice behind him.He turned around to find Kali walking slowly towards the three Gryffindors.
"I might be new here, but I'm aware that they should be taken to the head of their house and she is the one to give them punishment."
"That doesn't..." Snape was starting to say and she came closer, making him very nervous.
"What's that... Professor?" she said smiling.
"I ... you ..." Snape managed to say.
He then pulled his robe up, turned on his heels and left, his black robe flowing behind him.
She smiled and then looked at Harry, Ron and Hermione who were still there frozen in confusion and she frowned, "Well? What are you waiting for? Run along!"
The trio left as fast as they could without asking questions.
Kali looked in the direction Snape had gone and thought with an evil grin, "You are not going to escape that easy, Snape!"
