Chapter 5 – Knock Knock

After his humiliating session with Hermione and Albus, Severus marched in the directions of his quarters which had been granted to stay in the dungeons after the new Potions Mistress had agreed to live in the DADA's origional quarters. Approaching the portrait that covered the entrance of his rooms he practically mouthed his password worried that someone would hear it and enter his sanctuary.

Storming into his quarters he made his way to his priavte bar and pulled out his firewiskey and began drinking until things were so jumbled that nothing made enough sence to worry about, then drifted to sleep.

When Severus woke the next morning it took him a while to register where he was, which was still in the chair he had settled in after her had begun drinking his second bottle of firwisky. Looking at the clock that hung above his fireplace he realised that he had twenty minutes to get to the great hall for breakfast. Rising from his chair he entered the bathroom, emerging ten minutes later fresh and clean from his shower. Grabbing his wand he then headed to breakfast.

After breakfast he made his way to his classrooms. 'Slytherins and Griffindors first how appropriate' he thought with malice. He made his usual dramatic entrance and made his way towards his desk, iving directions as he stromed up to the front of his class.

"today we will be looking into anamagus transformations on page 694... (blah blah blah and a whole lot more DADA stuff)"

He finished his lecture and went to his desk to sit when there was a knock at the door. He quickly marched up to the door, opened it ready to give the intruder a death glare, only to be met with the wall on the other side of the hall. He looked down the hall then slammed the door and walked back to his desk. When the students suddenly sarted having fits of giggles. He turned and glared at them which seemed to have little effect for a change.

Confusuion swamped him as he headed to his desk when he finally found the culprit of the giggles sitting in his chiar with agrin on her face.

"Can someone tell me how this child has entered my class without my knowledge?" he asked crisply

"she entered when you were looking down the hall sir" a first year Griffindor piped up at the back of the class near the door.

Severus returned his attention back to the grinning culprit then called "ten points from griffindor for not informing me immediately" he sneered

The Griffindors groaned at the loss but soon fell silent remembering that they could lose more points for their house.

"So miss Granger why are you in my class and not with your mother?" he asked her

"Mum has a class and H.D said that I could go and umm... hmmm...oh ya he said I could go annoy the bad man if I wanted" she gave him a toothy grin.

Severus gave a glare at the words she spoke. 'DAMN that old fart, does he live to torture me with things like this?' he thought to himself. 'now what do I do with this...child, I cannot very well send her away she will inform Albus and I'll have him in my classroom too'. He gave a small growl and turned back to his class.

"Well, why aren't you all working?" he said with a glare.

The students in the class all quickly got onto their tasks trying not to infuriate him further.

His attention was now all on Seleeny.

"So Miss Granger what am I going to do with you?" he asked with detest in his voice.

Seleeny grinned up at him. "Want to have a tea party?" she sujested.
