A Teenaged Snape?
The next morning Severus was sitting in the Great Hall eating his french toast, when someone grabbed him from behind. Half between his toast and half between his cursing, Severus turned around to see Charlotte giggling at his misdemeanor. He smiled warmly at the beautiful girl, as she sat down beside him and picked at the toast on Severus's plate.
"Hey!" joked Severus, as he noticed the pilfering. Charlotte smiled affectionately at him, and gave him a light peck on the cheek that made Severus turn slightly pink.
"Severus, there's going to be a Hogsmeade outing on Halloween," she mentioned offhandedly as she bit into the piece of toast that was currently hanging from between Severus's teeth. She giggled as Severus turned a darker shade of red.
"Do you… do you want to go with me?"
Charlotte nodded as she crept closer to Severus and rested her head on his shoulder as he continued to read the paper.
Harry, Ginny, and Ron soon walked in the Great Hall chattering over Quidditch, when they suddenly stopped, seeing Charlotte cuddled next to Severus at the Gryffindor table.
"Hey Charlotte," Ron and Harry said at the same time, as they sat down across from them, "why are you sitting at the Gryffindor table?"
"Actually," said Severus, "there was never a rule that you couldn't sit at another House table. There was just too much prejudice between Houses that everyone just assumed. Actually, Alb-I mean, Dumbledore, said that he preferred inter-house relations."
The three newcomers nodded as they began to chug down their breakfast. Ron, as he ate his bacon, or platters of bacon really, glanced from time to time at Charlotte, who was still resting her head on Severus's shoulder sleepily.
Soon Hermione and Eric walked in and sat themselves down, Eric on Charlotte's side and Hermione on his other.
"Good morning, everyone," said Eric, as he helped himself to some of Gryffindor's breakfast. Harry and Ron gaped at Eric, or as they saw him, a Slytherin.
Severus, pretending not to notice Eric and Hermione, glanced out of the corner of his eye over his paper at them, trying not to move Charlotte.
"Everyone this is Eric Rowling," Hermione said, "Eric, this is Harry Potter, Ginny Weasley, Ron Weasley. You know your sister obviously and you've already met Severus." Eric smiled at them as he shook hands with them.
"Ah, Harry," he said as he picked up himself a juicy granny smith from the bunch, "it is such an honor to meet the Boy-Who-Lived."
"Thank you," said Harry, as he adjusted his glasses, "Please, just treat me like any other student." Eric nodded as he took a bite into the apple and placed his other arm around Hermione. This went unnoticed by Severus, as he put his paper down and placed his own arm around Charlotte pulling her even closer. Both Hermione and Severus felt a dull ache, although neither really knew why.
Harry and Ginny noticed a lot of tension in the room.
"So, 'Mione," said Harry, uncomfortably shifting in his seat, "What are the classes today?"
"Well first up is NEWTs Potions with the Slytherins, then we've got Review Flying Lessons… and that's it for today," said Hermione, as Eric pecked her on the check, which left Harry, Ron, and Ginny gaping.
"Well, come on, love, let's go get ready for class," said Severus, as he got up and adjusted his robes. Hermione was about to get up; when she remembered he was talking to Charlotte.
"Okay, Sev," Charlotte said, as she got up as well. The two exited the Great Hall, leaving behind a saddened Hermione.
'Wait, why should I care what Severus and Charlotte do? I'm with Eric now.' Hermione thought to herself, as she looked over at the boy next to her.
"Should we get going too?" asked Eric, getting up and offering her a hand.
"Actually, could we talk to her first?" Ginny requested.
"Sure," Eric said as he gave Hermione a little kiss on the neck before exiting the Great Hall.
"What the bloody hell was that" exclaimed an angry, red-faced Ron, after Eric disappeared.
"Shut up, Ron" said Ginny tersely. "Hermione, what's going on"
"I don't know" said Hermione, fidgeting a bit"we kind of just got together yesterday after dinner."
"What do you mean yesterday" exclaimed Ron once more"You're already allowing him to kiss you?" A few Gryffindors glared at him before turning back to their breakfast.
"Shush" Ginny said glaring at her brother as well"I saw you eyeing that Charlotte of Severus'." Harry sighed as he remained quite in the conversation.
"Okay, I'm going out with Eric, so what" Hermione said, as she got up.
"Hey, I got no problem with him" said Ginny"but I need to talk to you later, privately."
"Ron? Harry" Hermione said looking for their approval as well. Ron stayed silent, continuing to sit there with crossed arms, fuming.
"What every make you happy, 'Mione" mumbled Harry with hint of disappointment, as he continued to fidget with his glasses.
"Now that that's settled" said Ginny getting up as well"Hermione, I need to talk to you alone." Hermione nodded as they made their way out of the Great Hall.
"What is it, Ginny" Hermione asked as they made their way to the Head Quarters.
"Well isn't it obvious? I thought you we were smitten on Sev" Ginny said as they climbed the flights of stairs.
"What? I am not" Hermione responded, half taken by surprised and half angrily.
"Come on, Mione. You're easier to read then a book" Ginny said. Hermione sighed. There was no way of getting out of this.
"Fine! Was smitten, but I've got Eric now" Hermione said as they made their way down another corridor.
"You mean you still are and you're using Eric to make Severus jealous. Only it's not working because he has Charlotte" Ginny said.
'Damn it! Like a freaking book!' Hermione screamed in her mind.
"Hermione, its obvious that you're not into Eric. He's nice, handsome, and apparently rich from rumors, but that's not what you want. You know it" Ginny said.
Hermione sighed as she muttered the password to Sir Winston.
"Hermione, I'm not going to get involved and neither is Harry. And Ron's too thick to figure it out" Ginny said as she left her friend to gather her books.
Hermione stood in the doorway, stunned by what she saw. Sitting on the couch were Severus and Charlotte, too busy snogging to notice Hermione. It took her a few minutes to recover from the shock.
"Class is starting soon" she said coldly, as she walked past the two and made her way to her room. The two quickly broke apart, embarrassed.
Hermione quickly shut her door behind her, and bit back the tears that were welling up in her eyes. She wasn't going to cry. Slowly, she went over to her desk, and picked up her books for the next class. She moved towards the door and paused abruptly. They were still probably snogging out there. The books fell from her arms to the floor as she rushed to her bed, throwing herself onto the mass of blankets and pillows. Furiously, she threw the cushions at the door. As she ran out of objects to work her rage upon, she curled into a ball on the bed, sobbing.
Ten minutes later, Hermione walked into the dungeons for Potions, eyes still slightly watery. She sat herself next to Eric, who had been saving her a spot. Unfortunately, their seats were right behind Severus's and Charlotte's, who were behind Ron and Harry. No one seemed to notice that Draco was glaring at Severus. Actually, everyone seemed to be glaring at either Hermione of Severus, with the exception of Hermione, who was glaring at both Severus and Charlotte.
Two minutes later, Professor Daniels entered the room with a smile on his face. He made his way to the front of the classroom as he glanced over at Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Severus.
"Hello, my name is Professor Franklin Daniels and I will be your temporary Potions Professor" he said as he sat down on one of the tables at the front.
"I may not be as skilled as that git of a Potions Master of yours" he said with a smirk as Severus glared at him. The class was quite shocked to here such words from a professor about a colleague. "But I think I can suffice. Now please open your textbooks to page two, please."
'Dear God!' yelled Severus in his mind, as he continued to glare at Sirius, 'We learned that in the 4th year for Merlin's sake! The first pages are always review! We should be around page 200" Severus practically slammed his books onto the desk and opened his book to page 2.
After a minute, Severus was nearly dying of boredom. Charlotte seemed to notice as she allowed her foot to wander near his. A few minutes later, a game of footsie had started between the couple. They did not notice, however, the girl behind them glaring at them. As the saying goes, 'if looks could kill', Charlotte would have been 6 feet under quite a while ago and Hermione would have been dancing on her grave right now.
"Now that we have explained the instructions" Professor Daniel said placing his book down"Let's begin brewing" Severus snorted at his forced enthusiasm.
Five minutes later, the class was brewing a simple Dreamless Draught, which was first year's stuff, in Severus's opinion. Professor Daniels, after awarding Ron and Harry 20 points for just doing the first step correctly, walked over to Severus and Charlotte's table.
"5 points to Gryffindor for excellent work, Severus" he smirked. He knew he was killing Severus inside.
"Get bent, Black" mumbled Severus under his breath.
"What was that, Mr. Snape" asked Professor Daniels with that arrogant smile. Sirius soon noticed whom he was paired up with.
"Well, who do we have here" he said, looking over at Charlotte"Aren't you a beauty." Severus immediately turned red in anger, as Charlotte giggled.
'Don't you dare, Black!' Severus thought using his Legilimens.
'What? No fun?' Sirius thought back. Even though Sirius could not read Severus's mind, Severus could read Sirius's. Let's just say Sirius hadn't lost his teenage hormones.
'She's your student!' Severus thought, still making eye contact with Sirius.
'I believe she is yours too… Snivellus.' Sirius thought back.
'Well so what? I'm a whole lot younger than you currently. And besides, she's interested in me!' he thought back.
'Prove it, you bastard!' Sirius thought back not losing eye contact with Severus. Snape would show him. He had done the same on accident with Potter two years ago, but this time he would do it on purpose.
Severus quickly allowed images of Charlotte and him playing footsie, when she cuddled next to him, and when they were snogging passionately in the... There was no more that needed to be said, as Sirius shuddered slightly and broke eye contact with Severus.
"10 points from Gryffindor for nearly making your professor lose his breakfast" mumbled Sirius, as he went over to check on the rest of the class.
