Dr. Huff-Puff: I want to thank you for the disclaimers. I will try to use them all.
LythTaeraneth: Well honestly, you should have seen what some people suggested. Might I hint it involved lots of stuff that I would not like to mention. Well let's just say it's Snape, her Potion's Professor. Think about it. Well thanks for the concerns.
Black-rose23: I wonder what's going to happen too.
Makalani Astral: I honestly didn't think about describing that at all. Sorry.
A Teenaged Snape?
The next morning was very odd for Severus, as he ate his breakfast with Hermione and the staff. Hermione seemed rather quite and had not really spoken to him besides with the occasional yes or no.
Today was the day, the day that Hogwarts's students would arrive on the Hogwarts Express. It was September 1st and the first day of school.
Severus felt oddly nervous to begin school once again. Why was he so nervous? It was most unlike him. Would it be a bad or good experience? He did not know. All his life at Hogwarts when he was young was not really so much of a good one. Yes, it did let him get away from his menacing father, but most of his time was spent being bullied by Potter and his friends or finding ways of getting back at him.
So what was it going to be like for him this time? He, once again, was clueless. He had soon finished his breakfast and made his way out of the Great Hall. Severus needed to clear his head and calm himself.
He needed a walk. The Head Boy was just about to make his way outside for a walk around the lake when he heard someone calling his name. He turned around to see Hermione running towards him out of breath.
"Sev! Sev! Wait up!" she exclaimed, as she was only a few feet away from him. She was just about to take another step, when clumsily she tripped over her own foot and flew forward into Severus's arms, which had caught her just in time. As he had caught her, Hermione realized he smelled quite nice. Sev sort of smelled like sandalwood and spices.
'Wait,' thought Hermione, "I'm smelling him now?' She was quite disappointed when his embrace let her go. Severus, on the other hand, was quite amused with her clumsiness even with such a high I.Q.
"Ms...I mean Hermione, you ought to be more careful," said Severus remembering to call her Hermione.
"Sorry," said Hermione, remembering that he was talking to her and wasn't merely there for her pleasure of starring at him. "I just wanted to see where you were going."
"Just for a walk," he said. He was about to leave, when an arm pulled him back. He turned to see Hermione letting go of his arm.
"You can't go out in only that," said Hermione, gesturing to Severus's thin white T-shirt and black slacks. Severus raised his brow. Hermione seemed to notice it. "I'm just saying it's freezing out there."
"So what might you suggest?" asked Sev, still raising his brow.
"A sweater," said Hermione, "or a coat, and a scarf at least. I'll go get something for you and get something for myself too. I want to come along." Before Severus could say anything, Hermione was already happily making her way to their dorm.
"When has a walk turned into a social event?!" called Severus after her. She, of course, did not hear any of it.
Hermione returned with a black coat and a green scarf in hand. She, herself, was dressed in a pink Frenchi coat, a pink French hat, and pink scarf (A Frenchi coat is a coat that usually goes to your knees and is made out of warm material, usually wool). Hermione handed Severus the coat and scarf. He once again had his eyebrow raised.
"Might I inquire why you wish to come?" he asked, as he put the coat on and was now working on the scarf.
"Well, I just want to take a walk too and since you're already going," she said, as she began to notice that Severus had a hard time with the scarf and began to help him. "I might as well come along with you." She finished adjusting his scarf. Severus rolled his eyes.
The walk for the first 10 minutes was relatively quite. Severus didn't really seem to want to talk, so Hermione was left there just to glance at him every once in a while. He seemed to be lost in his thoughts with sad lost features on his face from time to time
'What could he be thinking about?' thought Hermione as she glanced over at him for the hundredth time. It was another five minutes before Hermione couldn't stand it anymore.
"Why aren't you saying anything?!" asked Hermione. Severus was not taken by surprise.
"I didn't say I would be talking on this walk" said Severus calmly, "You merely assumed I would."
"Fine," said Hermione angrily, "I'll go off on my own then." She quickly turned and left Severus to gather up her last ounces of pride.
Severus didn't feel like going after her nor did he intend to. He had not asked her to come along; he did not say that he would be talking.
Hermione, still fuming in anger, stormed down the path on the other side of the lake. She could still see Severus walking along the other side still in thought. Why was he so different from yesterday? He as being so Snape-ish! (A/N Hehe! Snape-ish!)
Hermione angrily sat down on a clearing on the side of hill that overlooked the other side of lake were Snape was walking. She laid on her back to watch the cloudy grey sky. An owl flew by.
Sev had been her mind since last night. She couldn't get him out of her mind. The way he was so artistic and intelligent added to his handsome appearance. Hermione didn't really tend to base her taste on boys on their looks, but Severus was handsome, intelligent, and artistic. Hermione wanted Severus to notice her. He was everything she wanted, but why was he being so cold. Oh my god! Now that Hermione realized it, she hadn't thought of much of anything besides Sev her entire time here so far. She had even forgotten her studies!
'Oh crap,' thought Hermione, 'the exams are in 8 months! I got to get to the library!' Hermione got up from her comfortable position on the soft grass. As she brushed her coat off, she noticed something. Severus was no longer on the other side of the lake! He was no longer in site! But she had only taken her eyes of him for a second.
'There was no way he could of gone anywhere' thought Hermione, as she rushed to the side of the lake were she had last seen Sev. The Head Girl soon found herself on the other side of lake. 'Where the hell is he?'
"Hermione..." said a weak voice softly from behind her.
Severus slowly opened his eyes to see the ceiling of his room.
"How the hell did I get here," said Severus out loud, as he slowly sat up on him bed. Then it hit him. He remembered that he had been called.
Severus looked at his left forearm. But there was no sign of the Mark anywhere. Severus was definitely sure that the pain in his left forearm had come from the Dark Mark. He had experienced it too many times before not to be able to identify its particular pain. Ah...Dumbledore must have put an appearance alternation spell on it.
The Head Boy removed the covers that covered him and got up from his warm bed. The fireplace had a roaring fire and Severus soon noticed that it was night time.
"Oh shit!" said Severus. He was going to miss his own Sorting Ceremony! Severus was about to rush out the door, when the fire going in the fireplace turned a shade of green. Out of the fireplace stepped Hermione dressed in her robes with a Head Girl badge pinned proudly on her heart area.
"Sev, good to see you up," said Hermione as she dusted herself off. "You should get your school robes on and head down to the Great Hall. They've already started the sorting for the first years." Hermione quickly left Severus, this time through the door, to let him change.
The Sorting of the first years was now finished and Dumbledore stood up to make his usually announcements that he stated every year.
"Welcome to another year of Hogwarts," said Dumbledore, "Before we start the feast, I want to go over the rules of Hogwarts. All students are not allowed in the Forbidden For-" Before Dumbledore could finish his speech he made yearly, the doors of the Great Hall opened to reveal a tall handsome boy. He's name was Severus Snape.
There was immediate silence among the students as they starred at the mysterious boy. They had no clue who he was or what house he was in. He's robes were entirely black, not even his collar had a house color yet, that meant he was to be sorted. Unless this was there new DADA professor, but they highly doubted that seeing how young he was.
"Ah," said Dumbledore, "welcome Severus." Severus made his way forward to the staff's table. Dumbledore joined Severus in front of the staff's table, putting a hand on Severus's shoulder. This was highly odd to the students since they had never seen their Headmaster leave the staff's table. The two, now standing in front of staff's table, faced the entire student body.
Severus was extremely nervous to be standing in front of the entire student body as a student once again. It had been too long since he was the center of attention in front of so many people.
In the back of the Great Hall, three students whispered to each other. There name's were Harry, Ron, and Hermione.
"Who's this new guy?" whispered Harry over to Ron, who was sitting next to him, and Hermione who was sitting across from him.
"His name's Sev," whispered Hermione.
"You know the guy?" said Ron a little too loud that other Gryffindor sitting near gave an angry glance at him. They turned their attention back to the newcomer.
"I got to know him a bit before when he took me to Hogwarts yesterday," whispered Hermione. Ron and Harry looked quite confused.
"I'll explain later," whispered Hermione. The three turned their attention back to the Dumbledore and Severus.
"This is Severus Snape," said Dumbledore. A number of the students gave out a gasp. "Yes, you wonder why he has the same name as our Potions Master and why Professor Snape is absent. This is Professor Snape's nephew, Severus. Professor Snape will not be teaching this year at Hogwarts." The whole entire student body minus the first years and Slytherins let out a cheer, but soon quieted down realizing it was rather inappropriate. Severus tried to keep himself from becoming red in anger.
"Well," said Dumbledore, "He has fallen ill and we are waiting to see if he will be able to return the following year as well." There were more cheers, but there was much less as many remembered that it was quite inappropriate. "Our new professor of potions will be arriving soon. We have Severus here and as you've noticed, he needs to be sorted. I would like to do the honors of sorting him myself."
Professor McGonagall came forward from her spot behind the staff table and placed a stool down for Severus to sit on. She handed Dumbledore the Sorting Hat. She then stood by Albus's side. Severus nervously sat down on the stool in front of the entire student body. He never thought he would have to do this again.
"Now let us begin," said Dumbledore, as he placed the hat on Severus's head. Immediately, the hat sprung to life scaring Severus a bit.
"Let's see," said the hat, "I haven't sorted a Snape in the longest time. It's been what 26 years since Severus was sorted?" Severus was beginning to get more and more nervous. Why did the stupid hat keep babbling on? "Hmmm...Excellent mind. There's skill and talent. There's a hint of Slytherin in you I see."
'Oh no,' thought Severus, 'I'm not going to be sorted into Gryffindor.
"But I see courage," said the hat. Severus sighed in relief. "Where to put you? I know..." Severus's heart skipped a beat. "GRYFFINDOR!" The new Gryffindor felt a giant weight lifted from his shoulders. The Gryffindor table let out a cheer. Severus looked over at Dumbledore who had a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye. Sev soon noticed that the collar on his robes had turned a dark shade of maroon for Gryffindor. Albus removed that hat and handed it back to Professor McGonagall.
"Excellent," said Dumbledore, "Now since Severus is a 7th year student, we must introduce him to everyone so that he my find a home at Hogwarts right away."
"Oh shit," said Severus as his muscles in his neck soon tightened in nervousness, "he's going to make me say something. I know it."
"Severus is 17," said Dumbledore. He must have noticed how nervous Severus was. "He was formerly home schooled (A/N couldn't thing of anything). Don't worry; he is just as up to speed with his knowledge as all of the 7th years. In fact he is Head Boy."
There was a wave of gasps among the students. Just like Hermione, they were confused why a brand new student was going to be there Head Boy. Albus noticed there confusion right away.
"He is highly qualified to take the role," said Dumbledore, "so therefore I cannot deny him the positions. The Head Girl that will be joining Severus is no one other than Hermione Granger." There was a roar of cheers from the tables besides Slytherins. Everyone knew that Hermione was going to get the job. Dumbledore smiled.
"Now Severus could you take a seat with your fellow Gryffindor," said Dumbledore turning to Severus, who was still sitting on the stool. Severus immediately left the stool and took a seat next to Hermione, who was really the only one he really, kind of, knew. Ron and Harry gave him a confused look. They looked over at Hermione, who just gave them a quick smile before turning her attention back to the front. Dumbledore remained standing in front of the staff's table.
"Now," said Dumbledore as he clapped his hands together, "I have another surprise for you all. Severus is not the only knew 7th year we have to sort." The student body once again gasped.
Severus had not heard about any new 7th years besides himself of course. He looked over at the staff how seemed to be surprised along with the students. Dumbledore had a smile on his face.
"Eric," called Dumbledore, "Charlotte, could you please come in?" The Great Hall's doors once again to reveal to students. The boy called "Eric" and the girl named "Charlotte" stepped through. Once again there was a wave of gasps. Eric and Charlotte were extremely good looking. Well Charlotte was beautiful and Eric was handsome. They were both had extremely light blonde hair and blue eyes. They were nearly identical in height and stature.
The two stepped forward in the robes that had the black collars towards Dumbledore. All eyes were on the two as they final stopped right beside Dumbledore and faced the students. Dumbledore placed one hand on Charlotte's shoulder and the other on Eric's, as he stepped between the two.
"This is Eric and Charlotte Rowling and they are former students of Gemstone, School of Witch Craft and Wizardry in America. They spent two years there before they moved back to England. They're twins if you've noticed and they are half veela." There was another wave of gasps and confusion. "Yes, a male can be a veela and in our case, Eric is half. They are both 17 and will also be sorted."
Dumbledore turned to Professor McGonagall, who whispered something into his ear. The students were still in utter shock that they had already received three 7th years in a year.
"Do you have any clue who they are, Sev?" asked Hermione as Severus turned in his seat to face the Golden Trio.
"Not a clue," said Severus. He looked over at Harry and Ron who were intently starring at him. They were most likely noticing the differences and similarities in looks with their Potions Professor.
"Oh sorry," said Harry, sticking out his hand to Severus to shake, "the name's Harry, Harry Potter." Severus reluctantly shook it. Harry seemed a little surprised that this seemed to be the first person he's ever met that didn't feel surprised or happy to know they were meeting the Boy-Who-Lived.
"Name's Severus Snape," said Severus, as he put his hand away, "you can call me Sev if you like. It seems Hermione has already taken a liking to the nickname." He glanced over at the girl sitting right neck to him. Hermione blushed slightly. Harry smiled politely, but Ron just sat there eyeing Sev.
"My name's Ron Weasly," said Ron still eyeing him. Severus politely extended his hand over the table to greet him. Ron just glanced down at it before he turned his eyes back to Severus's face.
"Nice to meet you," said Severus. Ron remained sitting there eyeing him.
"Are you really a Snape?" asked Ron now crossing his arms over his chest. Sev put his hand away. He was getting annoyed with Ron's insolence and his constant glaring was starting to get rather ridiculous. Before Severus could respond, Hermione interrupted.
"Ron," said Hermione glaring at him, "Stop being a pompous jackass. Yes, he's a Snape and no he is nothing like his uncle. Don't deny that's the reason why you've been glaring at him this whole time." Ron eventually gave up his childish behavior and shook hands with an annoyed Severus.
"Pleasure," mumbled Severus, putting his hand away. The four turned their attention back to the front.
"Okay, now let the Sorting begin once again," said Dumbledore, as Professor McGonagall handed him the hat. Eric was already sitting on the stool, with a malicious grin on his face. Charlotte was standing besides him. Dumbledore placed the Sorting Hat on Eric's bleach blonde hair. The Sorting Hat, once again, sprung to life.
"SLYTHERIN" shouted the Sorting Hat immediately. Dumbledore lifted that hat off the boy's perfect hair, allowing the twins to switch place. The Slytherin's roared out cheers in excitement. Dumbledore placed the hat on Charlotte's flowing bleach blonde hair.
"Once again, SLYTHERIN!" exclaimed the Sorting Hat. The Sorting Hat was removed from Charlotte's head. The Slytherins roared a second round of approval. Dumbledore had a sort of awkward smile on his face as he handed McGonagall the Sorting Hat. The two twins made there way to join the Slytherin table right next to Malfoy and his half-illiterate gang. Malfoy had a smile on his face as he winked at Charlotte.
He wasn't the only one that noticed that Charlotte was incredibly hot. It seemed like all the boys, no matter what year or House, seemed to be starring at Charlotte. For the girls, it was in between. They had to choose from Severus and Eric, who seemed both equally handsome.
The Great Hall doors flew open once again and once again the Hall fell silent. In came two men. One everyone knew as former Professor Remus Lupin and the other they had no clue.
He was a tall man with silky black hair that was grown out and fell behind his ears (After you finish RR this chapter, check out a link on the bottom for pic). He seemed to be about the same age as Professor Lupin and was quite handsome, too. The man wore a black outer robe and a green one on the insides.
"Ah welcome," said Dumbledore with a twinkle in his eye, as he stood up from his seat which he just recently sat down upon after all the sorting, "Professor Lupin and Professor Daniels." The two made their way to their seats at the staff's table. Dumbledore remained standing.
"The older students should remember Professor Remus Lupin," he said, gesturing to Lupin who gave a weak wave, "and for all you younger years, this is Professor Remus Lupin. He was the former Defense against the Dark Arts a while ago and has come back to take the position up once again.
Now," said Dumbledore clapping his hands together, "we have a new temporary Potions Professor that will be replacing Professor Snape for the time being. Please give a warm welcome to Professor Franklin Daniels." The students gave wild cheers remembering that any teacher was better than Snape, but of course there was the exception of the Slytherins who did not clap at all.
Professor Daniels, oddly, got up from his seat and took bows. This caught Severus's eyes immediately.
'Where do I know that arrogance?' thought Snape, as he concentrated hard. He came of with the answer and it shocked him. 'Sirius Black!' Severus eyed one of his arch enemies, as so called Professor Daniels sat back down. The crowds soon calmed down and Dumbledore once again spoke.
"After long anticipation," said Dumbledore, "let the feast begin." Everyone seemed happy to be finally eating, but while they ate, most of them had their eye on either Sev, Eric, Charlotte, or their new Professor, Professor Daniels.
Severus didn't seem to notice it, as he ate his meal silently. He had to talk to Dumbledore about his choice to pick Sirius Black, who was still wanted by the Ministry. Severus knew that Sirius had been brought back to life last year by the time turner, but Black was still wanted.
Hermione glanced over at Severus to see him using a knife and fork, taking his time to cut each piece of chicken and eat it bite by bite silently. She only had her mind on one guy, Sev.
Hermione then glanced over at Ron and Harry, who were impolitely stuffing themselves. Well, it was more Ron stuffing himself like a pig and Harry just eating at record speed. Hermione smiled to herself. It was going to be great year. This unfortunately was only half true...
Character Bio so far:
Sev Snape: Sev is Severus Snape, Hogwarts's well...former Potions Master. He, along with Eric, Charlotte and Hogwarts's new Potions Professor, are Hogwarts's newest big subject. A certain girl by the name of Hermione Granger has her eye on him, but will she be the only one. He is not aware of either, well at least not yet.
Hermione Granger: Hermione is this year's Head Girl and shares a dorm with Head Boy, Sev Snape. She has a secret crush on him and has no other guy on her mind.
Harry Potter: Harry is trying to be polite to Sev, but doesn't really know him yet. So far all he knows about Sev is that he's 17, knows Hermione, and is Snape's nephew.
Ron Weasly: Ron definitely got on the wrong foot with Sev. He doesn't like Sev because he's a Snape and will keep an eye on him.
Professor Daniels aka Sirius Black: Sirius is Hogwarts's new Potions Professor and is back. Okay, let's just say he still alive and the reason will be revealed to you later along when Harry, Hermione, and Ron realize it's him.
Charlotte and Eric Rowling: Along with Sev and Professor Daniels, there this year's biggest thing. They're both half veela and twins. What will they have to do with our Sev and Hermione?
Albus Dumbledore: Has a twinkle in his eye for reason's unknown. Wink
Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil: Let's just say they have some information and it's on Snape.
Hint: There was two very important parts in this chapter. Also there was an important part in the last chapter. I'm not saying anything now, but they will help you figure stuff out in the future. There almost impossible to figure out.
I just made up the name Gemstone...oh well. RR Please! Sorry I had to use R.K. Rowling's last name, but it kind of went and I couldn't think of one.
Here's the link for the picture of Sirius. Stay toon to the next chapter for explanations on
Question: I just found out that many think that Severus is 36 when Hermione is 18, but that wouldn't make sense. That would mean, the Potters, who were in Sev's grade were 18 when they had Harry. That is a little off don't you think. Sorry, if you all think I made that mistake, but in mine Severus is 37 why Hermione is 17, a more reasonable age don't you think. I know for sure while in either Harry's first, second, or third year that Severus is indeed said to be 36 or 37, sorry again if I made that mistake, but the difference in age was bit larger from the prospective of him being in his forties.
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: I've been thinking. At they end of this entire story, which will probably take place in 15-20 chapters and 25 at the most, I want to have a sort of interview thing with the creator of "A Teenaged Snape?", me of course. On the last chapter, I will ask you to submit any questions or comments, please no flamers, and I will answer them as a final tribute. I will post the last chapter and give you all two weeks to ask all the questions you want answered. Then I will answer them all in full explanation at the end of the two weeks. Like the idea? Tell me in your review please.
