A Teenaged Snape?
The boring scenary seemed to be endless as a bored Snape starred out the window with exhausted eyes. A tree there, a farm there, it was all making him rather drowsy to look out the window. No that it mattered anyway.
He had been up all night and now being 1 o'clock in the afternoon and he was completely tired out. He had wanted to get to bed after his eventful night, but Dumbledore had insist that he take the first train to Platform 9 3/4 in London were Hermione resided in.
"Damn fool," said Snape, as he placed his elbow against the side of window to keep himself from falling over, "how's he going to expect me to go meet Ms. Granger when I haven't sleeped in about 32 hours?" His eyes lulled as he said this. He had even made him bring Ms. Granger to Hogworts the muggle way too!
He had now been on the train for nearly 5 hours thinking about what he and Dumbledore had discussed. First of all, all Dumbledore insisted he come up with a cover story and to stick to it. Then he would have to go meet Ms. Granger at her house in about 2 hours when his train would reach London. And finally take her to Hogworts.
Dumbledore had also made him resign from his job for awhile until this all passed and a new teacher was going to replace him for the year.
"At least I get some sort of vacation from grading all those brats' papers," he muttered sleepily. He had to come up with a cover story now. First of all he needed to come up with a name.
'Ulysses Turkshire..' said Snape making up random names, 'naw...how about Stanley Farkney? Dennis Prat? John Sipplewich?' No none of these would work becasue first of all he would never remember it,
'Oh well I guess I could use my old name at least I won't forget it,' Severus thought tiredly, 'now I got to come up with a cover story to explain why I have the same name as their Potions Master.' It took Severus a few minutes figuring out things to make sure they didn't contradict with any thing else.
'I got it!' thought Snape happily, 'I'll just say I was named after my uncle, really me of course, and that I have come to stay the year with him at Hogworts. But that doesn't explain why he's not going to be around.' Severus calculated the ideas in his head finally coming up with the one solution.
'I can say my uncle's sick and can't leave his chambers,' he thought finally, 'and I can say I'm here to look after him!'
'Yes that would work perfectly,' Snape thought as his eyelids gradually became heavier and he finally lulled off to sleep.
The sudden stop of the train jostled the sleepy Severus awake from his position lying on the patted bench.
"Here already?" mumbled Snape angrily as sat up and rubbed his eyes viciously.
The next half an hour envolved Severus getting off the train, wadding through several annoying muggles, and having to take this thing Dumbledore explained as a taxi.
He showed the driver the address and half an hour later through traffic, Snape found himself in front a two story house in a Victorian style. He paid the driver and walking lazily up to the front door. He knocked on the door.
He waited a few seconds impatiently and finally the front door opened to reveal a a woman who Snape could tell was Ms. Granger's mother. Being raised into a wealthy pure blood family, Severus had been raised with good manners.
"Hello, you must be Mrs. Granger," he said extending his hand out. She shook it rather surprised at his manners. "I'm sorry to intrude, but is your daughter, Ms. Granger, at home. I'm supposed to escort her to Hogwarts if you have read the owl sent by Dumbledore." She nodded still rather shocked.
"She's upstairs getting her things ready," she said, "ummm...would you like to come in?"
"Thank for your kindness," he said stepping through the threshhold. She led him to the living room and gestured to a couch for him to sit down.
"So what's your name?" She asked rather curiously, as she sat down on a arm chair next to the couch Severus sat on.
"Oh sorry," he said remembering that he had forgotten to introduce himself, "my name's Severus Snape."
"As in Severus Snape her Potions Master?" she asked in a surprised tone.
"Actually I'm named after him seeing how he's my uncle," he lied. Mrs. Granger's reassured look told him it was plausible.
"Oh..." she said, "I was just wondering what this whole situation is about."
"I have no idea I assure you, Mrs. Granger," he lied again. He couldn't just tell her what was really up, she would be too devastated.
"So why have they chosen you to escort my daughter?" she asked rather suspious on why a teenaged boy was picking up her daughter.
"I was sent by my uncle and the Headmaster seeing how all the professors are busy preparing for the new year," he said. This was however true, but a lie in away. He had basically been sent by his uncle, seeing how it was him, the Headmaster had sent him, and the professors were busy.
"Oh," said Mrs. Granger finding the story reasonable, but still suspisious. Mrs. Granger got up from her seat and walked over to the hallway Severus had just been in.
"Hermione luv," she called up the stairs, "are you finish up there?"
"Yes mum," yelled Hermione, as she made her way down the stairs dragging her luggage. Severus got up and walked to Hermione and picked up the suitcase for her. Hermione looked rather surprised.
"Mum," she said confused as she impolitely starred at Severus, "whose this?"
"Oh this is handsome young man is Professor Snape's nephew, Severus Snape...was it?" she said glancing at Severus, who nodded.
"Oh," said Hermione shocked to hear that Snape had a nephew and that this was him. For starters, he was hot! He had some of Snape's features with same nose and face shape, but for some reason his tan and hair made him look totally better and different.
"Umm...hello," she snapped out as she blushed embarrassment, "Nice to meet you my name's Hermione Granger." She said as held out for him to shake. He took it an bowing slightly kissed her hand, which made Hermione turn a darker shade of red.
"Nice to meet you as well, my name's Severus Snape," he said as he returned her hand. What had he just done? He just kissed a student's hand! It was one of his habits from growing up that he had learned it was custumary to kiss a lady's hand when being introduced.
Mrs. Granger saw her embarrassed daughter turn red. She chuckled to herself.
'He has excellent manners,' she thought as she smiled, 'I think we have a winner Hermione.'
"Um shall we go?" asked Severus, who seemed to be the only one not daydreaming. Hermione nodded still in shock.
"Nice to meet you Mrs. Granger," he said as he walked over to the front door and opened it.
"And a pleasure to met you Severus," she said.
"Please call me Sev," he said.
'Why the hell did I say that?" thought Severus rather angry with himself, 'No one's every called me Sev.'
Hermione gave her mother a quick hug and good bye and followed "Sev" out the door.
Any good? She turned red? Ha! I thought it was kind of cute. Sorry this one's so short, I got another anime story I'm writing.
Please R&R
