Chapter eleven- McGonagall and Ginny....oh boy!
Damien hurried to Transfiguration trying desperately to get away from Malfoy for at least a minute. He walked into Professor McGonagall's room and realized that he was the only one there....well he was about fifteen minutes early.... He carefully slid his bag into one of the seats and sat down, resting for a moment and grateful to finally have some time to himself. It was short lived though as he heard McGonagall walk into the room, stopping as she laid eyes on him.
"Well Mr. Snape.....I never thought I'd have a student who would be fifteen minutes early to class....miracles do happen I suppose...." She smiled slightly at him, looking at him up and down. Damien shifted slightly under her calculating gaze and she sighed and looked away.
"I'm sorry Mr. Snape but I just can't see Severus as the father type....." Damien merely smiled. 'Your not the only one......' he thought to himself. "Have you gotten lost at all? Any problems with the other students? They can be quite prejudice...." Professor McGonagall said with a sigh. "I can tell...." Damien murmured disdainfully. The witch glanced up from her lesson plans, "Has anyone said anything? Whoever it is will be severely punished no doubt about that...." She sighed, "I don't think Severus would be pleased with the fact that students are being rude to his son....he would give them a.....suitable punishment I'm sure..." McGonagall smirked.....she smirked!!
Damien blinked at her. He had never seen Professor McGonagall act like this....at least not to Harry Potter that is.....but to Damien Snape she seemed...sympathetic and more free spoken, as if she didn't care if Damien saw her act....well....human...
He smiled and said, "No I've just heard from Malf-Draco about the prejudice against Slytherin...." McGonagall nodded "Yes people do seem to have it for them just because You-Know-Who was in that house...."
She trailed off as the shuffling of footsteps and a dull murmur was heard. The Transfiguration Professor immediately straightened up and her gaze hardened slightly, making her look like the McGonagall Damien was so accustomed to seeing. She turned to the papers on her desk. Damien quickly took his seat and morphed his face to a bored, annoyed expression.
The door flew open and the sixth year students flocked in, there were students from all houses instead of just two now. Malfoy immediately hurried over to Damien and sat down beside him, smirking as if he knew something that no one else did. Damien rubbed the place between his eyes tiredly.
Hermione and Ron were the last to file in, both of them looking grim without their third friend with them. They walked over to the last available seats.....directly behind Malfoy and Damien.
Damien took a deep breath, he could do this.....he could pretend to act cold to his best friends if it meant that he wouldn't be revealed right? Right?! Right....
"Now, you have been chosen to be in my top class because of your results on your OWL's so I expect you all to achieve at least an E or higher on all of your work....I will not tolerate students who slack off and don't work so if you are going to not work then you should get out now....." She paused but no one moved. No one dared to....indeed she looked quite a bit more stricter this year.
McGonagall cleared her throat, "Now, today you will be learning a useful little transfiguration spell that would come in handy in a battle.....now Mr. Thomas pass out the rocks...go on now!"
Damien smirked slightly as Dean passed out rocks of all different sizes. Finally, they would be using something......useful for once. Professor McGonagall walked to the front of the class. "Now you must tap the rock four times before saying the incantation which will turn your rock into a sword......"
She then took out her wand and pointed it at a rock laying on her desk. "Watch closely now.....one...two..three....Swordonia!"
She tapped the rock with her wand four times and on the fourth the rock morphed into a long, dangerous looking sword. It was silver and looked quite sharp, its well polished gold handle gleaming brightly even though the lighting in the room wasn't that good.
Professor McGonagall turned to the rest of them, "Well what are you waiting for? Go on now! You cant learn a spell unless you try it!" There were murmurs of interest and excitement about the prospect of learning something that could actually be used in a real duel or battle. The room was soon filled with many 'Swordonia!'s though no one prevailed.
Hermione had definitely perked up, while Professor McGonagall had been demonstrating the spell she had been practically sitting on the edge of her seat in exhilaration. She was now watching as Ron murmured the spell over and over, each time failing with slight amusement.
"What are you smiling about?" Ron snapped, obviously miffed about his girlfriend finding entertainment in his flaw. Hermione merely shook her head, still smiling though it didn't reach her eyes. Damien could tell that she was trying her hardest to be cheerful for Ron's sake, though it wasn't working much......
Hermione sighed, "Honestly Ron! One day your going to blow something up by saying the incantation wrong or doing the wand movements improperly..."
At that precise moment a loud BOOM filled the room. The students looked over to see Seamus, his hair tussled and his face blackened. Damien once again had a flash of déjà vu from their first year when they had been practicing the levitating charm.
"I think we're going to need another rock over here Professor...." Dean Thomas said sheepishly as he eyed the remains of Seamus' rock sadly. The Slytherins snickered gleefully. Damien merely rolled his eyes and turned back to his rock (which he hadn't even tried transfiguring yet..) as he heard Professor McGonagall rant to Seamus about how he should pay more attention to the incantations and wrist movements before taking ten points from Gryffindor.
The Slytherins snickered even more loudly as Seamus flushed. Hermione gave Ron a knowing glance as if to say 'you see? That could be you!' Ron looked highly insulted. "Well you try it then if your so smart! Go on!" he said heatedly to the muggle-born witch. Hermione smiled again, "Now Ron, you know very well what will happen.....I'll perform it correctly and you'll get mad.......and there isn't Harry around to help you distract a mountain troll this time......" She trailed off as if waiting for Harry to laugh or make a comment....but of course none came....
Ron looked at the ground and awkwardly put an arm around her, "I miss him too..." he said quietly. Hermione sniffed and nodded before whipping out her wand and muttering, "Swordonia!" And sure enough, the rock morphed into a sword, though it was smaller then Professor McGonagall's.
Damien looked determinedly at his rock as he fought the lump in his throat.... His eyes started to burn terribly. He took a deep breath before blinking a couple times and turned his attention over to Hermione and Ron once again, the former earning ten points for Gryffindor while being praised by her fellow classmates (except the Slytherins).
Speaking of Slytherins Damien then realized that he hadn't seen any of Malfoy's bodyguards around since the Welcoming Feast. But of course the oafs didn't get into the NEWT classes and Damien felt rather relieved about it.
Malfoy growled obviously furious at Hermione for perfecting the spell before him. "Filthy little Mudblood!" He spat angrily. "Always has to be the know-it-all! Hmph! Probably the only reason Weasel and Potty even put up with her is so they'll be guaranteed a passing grade! Its no wonder Potty abandoned the Weasel and his jumped up pet! Probably had enough of being second best!"
Damien felt a surge of anger course through him as he squeezed his eyes shut again, clenching his teeth, and trying desperately to control his emotions but it was in vain as his rock in front of him exploded into bits of pebbles and dust.
A couple students screamed and some ducked for cover. Even Malfoy backed off a bit. Professor McGonagall had paled as she stared at what was left of Damien's rock. "Mr. Snape....please see me after class...." She said shakily. He nodded slowly, he hadn't meant to loose control and he hated when he did....it scared him slightly to think that he didn't have control over some of his power.....
Of course the students gradually went back to their work, throwing terrified glances at Damien every once and a while. Great. All he needed was for everyone to be scared of him..... Great first day this was turning out to be....and this was only the first class....
Sighing in exasperation, Damien tapped his wand on Malfoy's rock and said,. "Swordonia!" The rock morphed into a sword, which Damien noticed was longer and looked more striking then Hermione's.
He glanced at his two old friends behind him to find that Ron was glaring at him in hatred and Hermione was throwing uneasy looks at him.
"Way to show Granger!" Malfoy whispered gleefully to Damien.
The rest of the class was rather boring to Damien as he watched Malfoy struggle to transfigure his rock (which Professor McGonagall had restored to its natural form) not bothering to even help the blonde but rather watching in amusement as Malfoy fumed over not getting the spell correctly.
Professor McGonagall assigned a twelve inch essay on the history of the Sword Spell for everyone but Hermione and Damien, who had been the only ones to get it right.
The bell rang and the class filed out except for Damien and Malfoy. Damien sighed, not really up to putting up with the blonde. McGonagall luckily saved him, "Go on Mr. Malfoy! You'll see Mr. Snape at lunch!"
Malfoy looked quite disgruntled but walked out of the classroom nevertheless. Professor McGonagall signed for Damien to sit down, he complied wearily.
Professor McGonagall cleared her throat, "Well Mr. Snape....I must say I am impressed!" Damien blinked, he had expected for his Professor to start lecturing him on controlling his magic or something like that.
"You performed the Sword Spell perfectly and on your first try!"
Damien blinked again and feigned ignorance, "What about that girl......Hermione is it? She got it right to...." Professor McGonagall gave a small chuckle. "Yes, Miss Granger almost always gets spells correctly on her first try.....she is a very bright girl, she has a lot of potential that's for sure....of course, she might have some competition this year..." She smiled at Damien.
"Well that is all....you may go..."
"But what about my rock exploding?"
Professor McGonagall smiled once again, "Even the greatest wizards can loose control sometimes.....now hurry up! You don't want to be late for lunch..."
Damien thought about Professor McGonagall's behavior toward 'Damien Snape' as he smirked slightly she seemed to like him a lot. That was good, at least he had one teacher who liked him so far....
Damien decided to skip lunch and instead, heading for the library to check out some books. He rounded the corner and suddenly bumped into someone. He heard a small shriek as they were both sent sprawling to the floor.
"Sorry...." Damien murmured indifferently as he started to walk away.
"Hey Damien!"
Damien froze and turned to see Ginny Weasley smiling up at him. "Oh hi Ginny....er...sorry about that..." he said scratching the back of his head. Ginny giggled and he desperately hoped he wasn't blushing.
"Where are you going?" She asked. "Library...wasn't hungry..."
"Well I'll escort you shall I? After all.....you don't know where the library is do you?"
Damien shook his head and she smiled. "Follow me.."
They walked to the library in silence and Ginny suddenly turned on him....her brown eyes suddenly serious. "You seem very familiar..." she said, her tone slightly suspicious. "You remind me of someone....."
Damien swallowed nervously. Did she know? How would she know? Was he that obvious?! "....who?" he asked hesitantly.
She eyed him, "One of my friends....he's.....gone to train somewhere this year....strange though...how you suddenly show up when he suddenly disappears..."
Damien's heart jumped to his throat as he wrung his hands (which were behind his back) nervously. She went on, "Ron and Hermione don't suspect because for one thing, they're to caught up in each other to notice you that much and for another thing they're to worried about him...."
"Who's 'him'?" Damien asked.
Ginny didn't answer but instead said, "You cant fool me...."
By that time they were in the library. Damien's insides felt like ice....How had she known? She knew him better then he thought.....
After checking out his books he walked back to the Snake Pit, which was empty since lunch was still going on, and headed up to his room. Damien was so caught up in his thoughts about Ginny and his secret being revealed that he hadn't even realized that Ginny was still with him...
He whirled around, almost knocking her over. The painting that blocked his room was open now.
"What are you doing here?! You cant be in the Slytherin dorms they'll kill you and I really don't think that Ron would be happy if you were up here with me alone in my room!" he said hurriedly, before the other Slytherins wondered up to get their books for their classes.
Ginny narrowed her eyes, "And how do you know about all that? You speak of it like your used to it!"
Before Damien could respond Hedwig (who had been waiting patiently on his bed) flew up to greet him with a bundle of letters. Damien automatically reached out his arm for her to land on. Hermione's neat handwriting and Ron's sloppy handwriting were evident on a couple of envelopes along with some of Ginny's small handwriting as well.
Ginny smiled widely.
"I knew it!! Its you isn't it Harry!! Why didn't you tell me?! Why didn't you tell Ron and Hermione they've been worried sick!! And most of all why in the hell are you posing as Professor Snape's son?!!"
() Whew!! Okay its like four in the morning so I am going to bed!
