Can't give much of a summary because I don't exactly know where the story is going, but I can tell you it's a SS/OFC. I feel that anything else is just an abomination of nature.

Disclaimer: I sadly do not own Harry Potter or any of the characters that you recognize from the books.

Be nice it's my first fanfic, but helpful criticism is welcome and encouraged.

Chappie 1

The time of year once again came when he would put himself through the guaranteed let down of applying for the Defense Against the Dark Arts position. Any other person would have believed he was a self-loathing masochist, but if he let anyone see the real him they would know for a fact the he most definitely is.

So being true to his long standing tradition one Professor Severus Snape strode briskly with his usual cat-like grace towards the Headmaster's office with every expectation of being denied…..again.

When met by the statue in front of the headmaster's office he murmured the password and gathered all of his confidence and commanding presence, and awaited his verdict.

When he passed through the threshold his own emotionless expression was met by the smiling eyes of one of the most respectable wizards of all time, Albus Dumbledore.

"Good Morning Severus! I was beginning to wonder if you had given up this year."

"I see you don't have much faith in me. How could I miss you telling me my long wanted position is going to someone far less competent."

After all these years, if nothing else, the two men had become very close. The headmaster being the closest thing Severus had to a father, and the one to give him a second chance when no one else would have. It was natural for there to be a special relationship between the two, not the Snape would ever admit to anything as disgraceful as "feelings".

"So what is it this year? Who did you manage to scrape up from the bottom of the barrel this year?" said the sharp but smooth voice of Snape.

"Actually, in my opinion my choice is deserving of nothing but praise." came the warm reply of Albus.

"I highly doubt that. What is it this time a vampire?'

"Not to contradict your opinion of my choice in teachers, but I was planning on giving the position to you this year."

Snape couldn't believe what he was hearing. He didn't even know how to process this revelation. He asked his final question with barely veiled apprehension,

"Who did you get to take my place!"

How was it? Review. Hope it didn't suck. I have the next chappie, but I don't wanna post it till I get some feed back. Hope it wasn't too short.It goes a bit fast but I'll try to make them longer(the next might be just as short though,sorry)
