A/N: I apologize for any grammatical errors before I start the story. Not only am I incapable of typing, I have no beta to fix my mistakes... Oh well. Oh and on a side note, my space bar is completely messed up for some reason and it will make two spaces instead of one. It really is quite annoying.
Disclaimer: I do not own Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter, I wish I did, but you don't always get what you wish for.
Whose Idea Was This?
Chapter 1: A Strange Beginning
Boromir stared at the strange man before him. He was at a complete loss for words. There was no explanation to why he was here, and why he was here with this, to put it lightly, bat-like person.
"So you're a teacher?" Boromir asked him, "At this school, Wogharts?"
The man grunted in what seemed to frustration, in a strained voice, he said, "Yes, I am a teacher, at Hogwarts. We've been over this already."
"Yes, terribly sorry," Boromir said, although it was quite obvious he was not sorry at all, "So, you teach potions do you? Must be an incredibly easy class."
It was very fortunate Snape was not drinking anything at the moment, or it would have been spewed all over Boromir and the surrounding area. "I'll have you know," Snape said very coldly, "That my class, is the hardest, most challenging, stressful class you would be least likely to pass, and I enjoy marking students down for the fun. Unless of course, they are in my house." Snape finished as if it were common sense.
"You keep students in your house? What kind of school is this?" Boromir asked, clearly confused, then with a sudden realization, "Can I teach there?"
Snape asked, "Are you a wizard?"
"No, but a man I was traveling with, Gandalf, is a wizard." Boromir said, hoping it was enough.
"Sorry to say, that currently the only position open is Potions Professor," Snape spat with strong demise, "and when I get back, I plan to resume that position."
"If," Boromir said plainly.
"What do you mean, 'if'?" Snape questioned the shorter man.
Boromir looked at Snape and with a very straight face and with a serious tone he said, "You said 'when I get back...' I'm saying it's IF we get back."
"There's only room for one pessimistic on this island, and I can assure you, its not going to be you."
