13. You're bringing them into the Forbidden Forest?
(Posted 11/09/03 - Sunday)
------------------------------------------------------------------
Severus' bedroom was completely dark with no windows and even the fireplace wasn't giving off any light. Contradictory to what the students thought, the living area for their Potions Master was not beak and gloomy. The walls were lined with shelves and books, on Potions no doubt, but there was a small section on Muggle science fiction. That particular spot was camouflaged with an illusion spell to look like a normal wall. He had comfortable pieces of furniture in shades of green. Severus did preferred green more than red. Passing all this was his bedroom. Surprisingly, his room was decorated in light, pale colors. The walls were left alone with white drapes hanging over nothing. The bed sheets, pillows, and comforter were cream-colored; blending well with Severus' skin, and because of his dark hair, made him look even paler.
"Are you awake, Father?"
Severus mumbled a bit but remained asleep. He was usually a light sleeper but he was still recovering from yet another summer cold. Rin opened the bedroom door slightly and knocked softly.
"Father, I'm coming in," he said and came in.
The beautiful boy was wearing a cotton kimono that he wore to sleep and his long hair was bound together with a red ribbon. His slippers made little to no noise as he walked to the bed.
"It's time to wake," Rin said, shaking Severus' shoulder. "Breakfast will be served soon in the Great Hall."
Severus knew how ill-liked he was so he ate breakfast earlier than the students for most of the school year. It was a good thing that he was naturally an early riser. Rin may not be blood-related but he learned to wake early just to spend quality time with his adopted father.
"Go away," Severus said, flicking Rin's hand off.
Rin giggled. "If you don't get up in three seconds, I'm going to fetch Loki to use his water technique on you. One, two -"
"I'm awake, I'm awake," Severus said quickly, remembering clearly how Loki had attacked him with a Muggle water gun before. "That's an unfair threat to say to your father."
"It's the only way I could get you up," Rin said innocently, blinking his large eyes that could rival Kazuki's. "Hurry and change. I think Thor wants to have a word with you before class begins."
"I would think you would want a word with me before class starts, not Thor," Severus said, going over to his closet for his customary black robes. "The fifth years Gryffindors and Slytherins have you first this morning, don't they?"
"Yes," answered Rin, turning to face the wall to give Severus privacy. "I'm looking forward to it."
"I don't understand you," said Severus. "It's going to be hell with Potter and Draco in the same class. They have to act like enemies so Lucius won't punish Draco."
"Draco would be preoccupied with Leo," said Rin. "I'm more worried about Loki and what he would say. I believe Harry's best friend would be a bigger problem because he has such a short temper."
"Mr. Weasley is that sort of boy," Severus said, going into his bathroom. "Why don't you get ready and I'll meet you at your rooms when I'm done."
"Alright Father," said Rin. "I'll see you soon."
During the same time frame, Leo was already jogging his nth round on the Quidditch field while Akira was reading a weekly Go newspaper on one of the high benches. Loki and Draco were dead to the world as they slept. As the sun rose higher, the Go prodigy glanced at his watch, folded up his paper, and walked down the benches.
'It's about time for breakfast,' he yelled to Leo. 'You're going to shower before eating, right?'
'Yea.'
Leo slowed his jog to a walk and started towards Akira. He picked his towel from the benchers and mopped his sweat away. The two began heading back to the school.
'What do you think about Mr. Snape and the fugitive as a couple?' Akira asked out of nowhere.
'Wow, you know more about what's going without even being with us,' said Leo. 'To your question though, I don't really care. If they want to be a couple, be one and if not, don't.'
'Mr. Snape will have many internal arguments over his feelings for Mr. Black,' said Akira. 'Loki wants his uncle to be happy and he believes that being with Mr. Black is making him happy.'
'Hmm, it looks more to me like you want Loki to be happy and if his uncle is happy, he'll be happy,' Leo said, grinning. 'Do I smell blackmail material?'
Akira blushed. 'I am merely asking your opinion on the situation.'
'Yes, yes, Mr. Snape and Mr. Black,' said Leo. 'They're adults more than twice our age. They should have no problem dealing with relationships.'
'You're talking about two people who has a lot bad history,' said Akira. 'Mr. Black was a bully in school and his favorite pastime was torturing Mr. Snape. And Mr. Snape had never had a serious relationship before and Mr. Black has been in prison for over a decade.'
'Don't worry about it,' said Leo. 'I'm sure Loki will be conspiring with Rin and Thor, which leaves us with nothing to do.'
'You can learn to play Quidditch,' suggested Akira.
'Not interested,' said Leo. 'I can't say I'm fond with a game played on broomsticks.'
'You can't?' said Akira. 'Even when you know Draco Malfoy is Slytherin's Seeker?'
'Yea, I still don't like the sport,' said Leo. 'He knows.'
They've walked past Hogwarts' entrance by now and saw the school caretaker, Argus Filch, cleaning another one of Peeves' messes. The poltergeist thought it would funny to paint curse words in neon pink paint on the stone walls.
"This is ridiculous," Filch mumbled as his elderly cat, Mrs. Norris chased a rolling dust ball. "The Headmaster should get rid of Peeves. Nothing but trouble I say but what does he say? Peeves' home is the school he says. Without Peeves the school wouldn't be as enjoyable he says."
"Good morning," Akira greeted the cranky old man.
"What are brats planning, wandering about so early in the morning?" demanded Filch. "I'm warning you not to do anything reckless or I'll have you doing detentions until Yule."
"I was just exercising outside," Leo said loftily, and nodded in Akira's direction. "And he was reading the papers. There's nothing wrong with that Mister."
"It's true Mister," Akira said, lifting his newspaper for the caretaker to see. "I was reading something related to my job. It isn't anything like the Daily Prophet where the headliners are probably false."
Filch sniffed in dislike. "The name is Filch boy. Don't go calling me Mister this and Mister that."
"As you wish Mr. Filch," said Akira. "Do you need help getting the paint off the walls before the students see them? They are rather crude words that the first and second years shouldn't learn."
"I don't need any help," Filch huffed. "I've been working here longer than you've been alive. There's nothing I can't do myself. Don't go looking down on a Squib like me."
Leo sighed. 'I hate stubborn old men.'
"What did you say boy?" said Filch. "Hear this, in this school, English is the language spoken. Don't go sprouting out your foreign tongue here."
"It must have slipped out by accident," said Akira. "And we meant no insult when we offered our help. It's only because this school is so big that we know it must be a painstakingly hard job to maintain everything."
Filch scratched the back of his head. "Well then, be my guest. I have floors to sweep and picture frames to repair."
Leo and Akira placed their hands, palms flat, against the stone walls and the paint faded away. Filch stood there gaping.
"Wand-less magic!" he exclaimed.
"We left our wands in our rooms since we didn't know we would bump into you Mr. Filch," said Akira. "We have to go now. Good day to you."
"Good day to you too lad," said Filch, and then turning to Leo. "And you boy! You should learn some manners from your friend."
Leo pulled a face. "I'm fine the way I am thank you very much."
Filch made a shooing gesture. "Go on. Leave me with my work."
So they left and went down to the dungeons, passed Rin and Thor's suite, and entered into the Slytherin common room. A few seconds after them, Severus appeared. He swept to the front of the swan portrait and knocked on the frame.
"Come in," cried Thor's voice, not in the same calm tone he always uses. In fact he sounded agitated. Severus swung the portrait open and stepped inside. His gaze traveled the room, studying the layout and design with a passive expression. A crash was heard in one of the bedrooms.
"It's courtesy to greet the guest at the door," said Severus.
Thor came out his bedroom with his hair loose and wild, and his glasses not present. He was barefooted and still in his pajamas.
"Sorry Uncle," said Thor. "I'm searching for my plan book. I remember packing it in my trunk with all the class sessions organized by years but I can't find it now. It's driving me up the wall and Rin is too busy getting ready to help me. I don't want to write another one. It took me forever to write the first one."
"You're ranting," Severus said, sitting down on the sofa. "Sit and breathe before you faint."
Thor sat next to Severus and groaned.
"I'm not meant to be a teacher," said Thor. "I hate children. I hate homework. I hate exams."
"That's a lie and you know it," said Severus. "You hate neither children, nor homework, nor exams. As I recall you worked in an orphanage for years, does homework right after it was assigned, and got perfect scores on exams."
"Damn," said Thor. "I supposed I hate myself for not finding my plan book."
Severus patted him on the knee. "You'll find it. By the way, Rin told me you wanted to speak to me about something."
"Yes," said Thor. "I have an idea but I need you and a few other professors to help."
"Well?" said Severus. "If it's something I can do, I'll do it."
"The class is called Auror Training for a reason," Thor said, combining his hair with his fingers. "I'm going to combine both magical and Muggle ways to defend oneself into the curriculum. Only I don't want the students to use what they learn from my class to hurt each other as House rivals. That's where the other professors come in. I've proposed to the Headmaster about pairing off students from different Houses in their other subjects."
"And what did the Headmaster say?" said Severus.
"He will tell me his answer in the teachers' meeting this afternoon before my first class," said Thor. "But I wanted to talk to you now because I want you to be on my side."
"And why would I want to be on your side," said Severus. "Pairing off my Slytherins with Gryffindors is going to shorten my life by half a century."
"Please, please, please!" Thor said, throwing himself on his uncle. "It's bad enough I had to take an indefinite break from work but now you're not even going to help me and make my life a little bit easier. You're my uncle, my family, and you know I would do anything for you. Why can't you do something for me?"
"Fine, fine," Severus said, near panic. "I'll put in a word at the meeting."
Thor removed himself from Severus and smoothed back his hair that became tangled again.
"Thank you," Thor said tranquilly, as if he wasn't being hysterical a minute earlier. "Your help will aid my main objective to eliminate the severe rivalry between the Houses."
Severus sighed at being tricked by his nephew's act. Rin exited from his bedroom, dressed in a white T-shirt and blue overalls. His hair was braided and twisted into a bun to be kept out of the way.
"Going country on us?" said Thor.
"You look different," commented Severus.
"Can't wear a kimono teaching class," said Rin. "I won't be able to run or protect my students if danger arises. I have to be professional and caution when lives are at stake."
"You're only teaching Care of Magical Creatures," said Severus. "I hope you're not like the half-giant and going to bring in dangerous animals."
"Of course not Father," said Rin. "I like furry types of animals."
"Good," Severus said, relieved. "What are you teaching your class today?"
Rin smiled angelically. "I'm going to bring my fifth year Slytherins and Gryffindors into the Forbidden Forest to look at acromantulas."
The silence was deafening.
"WHAT!" exploded Severus and Thor, both stood up.
"You mean those giant spiders?" said Thor.
"What is going through that head of yours?" said Severus.
"But they have a fuzzy coat and they're cute," said Rin, sniffing. "I don't see what's wrong."
"You don't see? Great!" Severus said sarcastically.
"Uh-oh," whispered Thor.
"Wah, Father's being mean!" Rin cried running back to his room and slamming the door shut.
His sobs were audible and each one tore at Severus' heart.
"Uncle," said Thor. "What should we do?"
"I'll take care of it," said Severus. "You go change."
"Alright," Thor said, going into his room.
"Rin, can you hear me?" Severus said, standing right in front of the thin door. "I won't know if you can hear me or not if you don't say anything."
"I hear you," Rin said, his voice muffled by the door.
"I didn't mean to make you cry," Severus said kindly, looking over his shoulder to make sure no one else was near. "I'm really sorry. You can forgive your father for losing his temper, right?"
Rin hiccupped.
"I haven't been sleeping well with the summer cold I had so I'm not myself today," said Severus. "Why don't you come back out? You're scaring your father."
"Kay," Rin said, opening the door.
"Look at you. Your eyes are all red and puffy," Severus said, hugging the thin young man. "Let's wash your face and we'll go to the Great Hall together with Thor. We'll eat and talk about you bringing your class into the Forbidden Forest in a civil manner. Is that okay with you?"
Rin nodded.
"That's a good boy," said Severus. "I got angry because the forest is called forbidden for logical reasons."
"The Headmaster has already given me permission," said Rin.
"I am going to kill the Headmaster one of these days," Severus thought darkly.
