Hermiones mouth dropped. 'What in the bloody hell was that prat doing here? Why was he leading in the first years? What the hell is going on? 'Hermione bit her lip in exasperation. Severus knew of his godson coming to be the Professor of Quidditch. Severus also knew that Draco was Malfoy, and Malfoys always like to make appearances. He looked out the corner of his eye to see Hermione practically fuming out the ears. This was a good pay back for when she left him with damn Ulrich. Hermione glanced at Severus and noticed the smug smile on his face.
"Oh, you basturd." she whispered. Severus of course heard, had just smiled in response.
Severus slightly turned his head and whispered. "Payback is vengeance. And Vengeance is sweet."
Hermione entwined her hands together in her lap, took a deep breath, and put on a very obvious fake smile. Severus smirked. Hermione watched as Malfoy walked in with dark emerald robes swaying behind him. Malfoy looked at his Godfather and nodded in acknowledgement. He looked around at the other Professor s and when he saw Hermione he did a double take. Malfoy grabbed the stool and the sorting hat and placed it in the front of the Head table.
"When I call your name you will come sit on the stool, this hat" Malfoy showed the new first years the old hat. "Will be placed on your head and will sort you into your given house." Malfoy pulled out a scroll and started to call names.
"Emily Gibbins." A small blonde haired girl walked to the stool, sat nervously, not even a second before the hat touched her head, and the wise hat shouted "Hufflepuff."
After about eighteen more first years the last name called was "Tracy Zylkin". She was placed in Gryffindor. Hermione clapped politely but with a triumphant smirk on her face. After the students went to their respected houses. It seemed the Head Table stretched because soon Malfoy was sitting on the other side of Severus. Soon Headmaster Dumbledore stood up from his chair.
"Welcome, welcome to another year at Hogwarts. School is now back. We Professors will be sure to enrich you with knowledge that you have missed from the previous two years. The new students will be taught as if the school was never stopped. I beg of you, do not wander into the Forbidden Forest. It will only lead to expulsion. No magic in the corridors. Due to the fatal war. We have four new professors. Mrs. Adnama Calluci-Snape and Mr. Savaree Snape. Mrs. Snape will be your Charms professor. Mr. Snape will be your Herbology professor. And yes, these two wonderful people are relatives of our very own Potions Master. Our Charms and Herbology Professor are married. They have a daughter Naobi, so when you see her in the corridors don't question where someone so young came from." Albus smiled. The students were whispering most in fear and some, shockingly, in excitement. Albus put up a hand and the Great Hall was once again quiet. "Sir Malfoy will be the new Quidditch Professor. Most of you will remember him as he was Head Boy only two years ago. Our Head Girl has also returned. Miss Hermione Granger will be your Arithmancy Professor." Albus turned and looked at the staff table. I wish all of you the best. And now students, I must say I have spoken for to long. Eat please." With a clap of his hands the food magically appeared on the students and staff members plates. Albus sat and everyone started to eat.
"Severus what is Granger doing here." Malfoy asked his godfather, trying not to let Hermione hear. Seeing as she already did she leaned over Severus.
"If you would have listened Malfoy. You would have realized I'm a professor here now."
"I wouldn't have guessed Hogwarts was so desperate to hire a mud-blood." Malfoy hissed.
"You know what Malfoy; I should hex you down to the ninth hell…" Severus interrupted.
"Draco don't call Granger a mud-blood again, do it again, and you will have to deal with me. Granger calm down and eat your food. Classes are tomorrow. You two are equals now so stop acting like children." Severus lectured at both of them.
"We're back to Granger again are we? Well that's just fine Snape." Hermione threw down her napkin on her plate. "Excuse me…I think I have some blood I should clean. You know it's filled with mud." Hermione whispered so only Severus and Draco could hear. "Good Night."
Severus pale face was flushed red with anger and Draco looked confused and shocked at Hermione s speech.
"What was that about?" Draco asked Severus. Severus just shook his head. It was going to be a long year.
As Hermione sat in the front of the Arithmancy room, she watched as her first class ever was making way to their seats. Third Years. Ravenclaw and Slytherin. As everyone sat down. Hermione smiled at each one. Even the Slytherins. She was thoroughly pissed at one and wanted to kill the other. Two guesses who.
Hermione started to talk. "Welcome to your first year in Arithmancy. As you should know I'm Professor Granger. Arithmancy is Chaldean and Greek method of divination by numbers. Even though I think divination is a load of rubbish I love Arithmancy. Can anyone tell me what the Chaldeans did?" One girl raised her hand. Hermione nodded. This girl was probly going to be a know it all like her self. She couldn't help but gleam with pride. "Okay I want your name, your house, and the correct answer."
"My name is Amelia Meredith, Ravenclaw, and the Chaldeans divided their alphabet into three sections of seven letters and linked these to the seven planets." Hermione smiled she really was going to like this kid.
"Correct. Five points to Ravenclaw." The other Ravenclaws looked pleased but the Slytherins scowled.
"Now who can tell me what the Greeks did?" Three more people raised there hands even Amelia did again. She picked the brown haired boy in the back sitting next to Slytherins. "Name, house, and correct answer please."
"Bryan Raewood, Slytherin, and the Greeks would analyze the names of opponents and predict the outcome of a contest." Hermione nodded.
"Excellent, five points to Slytherin." Slytherin beamed as if they won the house cup. Ravenclaw was still looking pleased.
"One last question for the day then I want your names and your house so I can try to remember you." Hermione thought it was strangely comfortable to be teaching. "What is Arithmancy a precursor of? " Another boy in the back next to Bryan Raewood raised his hand. From the moment he raised his elbow, Hermione could smell the trouble radiating off of him. Still no one else knew the answer besides Amelia. She wasn't going to favor like Severus did when she was a student. "You, once again I want your name, house, and the correct answer."
"My name is Justin Macnair" Hermione stiffened. "Slytherin and Arithmancy is a precursor to numerology." Hermione nodded once more.
"Very good, five more points to Slytherin. No-" Hermione was interrupted by the younger Macnair.
"Weren't you a Gryffindor? And aren't you a mud-blood Granger? I could have sworn I heard my father tell me a story about you." Macnair dared.
"That's twenty points for not recognizing authority. Five points for questioning my background. And five points for your father's horrible story-telling." The Slytherins hissed at her and Justin. "Silence! Class is dismissed. I want an essay on the comparison and contrast of the Greek and Chaldeans methods. One roll of parchment. That's eight feet. This will be due on day three of our lovely class together. Now go." Hermione snapped. Try to be nice and look what happens.
It was now lunch. She was going to go to her rooms before her last two classes of the day. Teaching was a weary job. As hermione stepped on the third floor she had a little girl rush into her. Hermione smiled. She hadn't talked to Naobi or the other Snapes since that night…that night she had kissed Severus. She had already ached to have his lips on hers again. She knew that he said he wouldn't and couldn't be able to show his affection towards her in public. But he hadn't needed to sound so rude.
"Naobi. How are you honey?" Hermione hugged the little girl and gave her a kiss on the forehead. Hermione stood up thinking that she was going to face Savaree or Adnama but it was Severus.
"I'm good. I'm going with Uncle Severus for lunch." Hermione smiled at the innocent little girl.
"That's sweet, angel. Severus." Hermione nodded.
"Hermione, Come eat lunch with us. You know Naobi would want you to." Severus stated.
"Right, See I would go. If. I knew someone else wanted me to go." Severus glared at Hermione. "Alright. I'll go."
"Yay!" Came a noise from under them. Severus and Hermione looked down and chuckled at the Naobi.
Severus and Hermione walked down to the dungeons in silence. Luckily all the students were in the Great Hall eating lunch so no one was wandering in the halls.
Hermione walked in Severus' common room. It was dark but inviting. She liked it very much. "Please sit. I will order some food." Hermione sat with Naobi. Hermione was looking around as Naobi chatted away. Hermione noticed a book on one of the end tables. Siddhartha.
Naobi saw Hermione looking at Siddhartha. "Uncle Severus reads this book to me when ever he gets a chance. I really don't understand it right now but Uncle says I'll understand it when I get older."
"That's because you will honey. I would have been very impressed if you would have understood it already."
"Will you read some to me?" Naobi asked. Hermione smiled and nodded. Picked Naobi up and put her in her lap. And started to read to her. Naobi, even though she loved books was very tired, had fallen asleep. Hermione continued reading until she felt someone s gaze on her. Looking up she found Severus leaning onto the wall with his arms folded across his chest. He looked exceedingly handsome. He had his hair pulled back lightly and his muscles showed through his shirt. He was lean.
"I ordered the food. It will be done soon."
Hermione nodded. Hermione pulled Naobi off of her and put her on the couch. Conjured a blanket and covered her. Hermione walked towards Severus to question him about what food he ordered, but, Severus stopped her. By motioning for her to follow him, she followed. Severus had led her to his private library. It had huge sized tomes. It was another haven for her. There were three swan chair s and a couple of fire chairs placed around the library. Severus led her to the darkest emerald swan chair and sat her down. Hermione looked on intently at Severus. He slowly undid the clasp on her front robes and looked at her muggle attire. Hermione saw his eyes smile. Severus kissed her arm lightly until he got to her neck, sucked on it gently, allowing his tongue to warm her up. Then went to her face and slowly but passionately kissed her. Hermione had never been kissed like this before. This kiss was better then the demanding kiss she and Severus shared the other night. Hermione clung her hand in Severus hair, and pulled him if possible closer to her. As Severus hand was going under Hermione s shirt, the lunch bell rang. Announcing afternoon classes.
Severus and Hermione jumped apart. They had completely forgotten about classes. "Damn it all to hell." Hermione swore. Severus smiled.
Hermione fastened her robes back together and walked with Severus to his office, they hadnt noticed the food on the table. She placed a chaste kiss on Severus lips and walked out the classroom. As Hermione was leaving she hadn't noticed Amelia's concerned face because of Hermiones swollen lips. Neither though noticed Malfoy as he watched Hermione walk out of the Potions classroom.
