Snape

Once we got to Dumbledore's quarters I fell straight asleep in his bed not caring in the slightest, and when I woke up it was 2pm! Who can sleep until 2pm? Oh yes...I'm a teenager. When I wake up, Dumbledore is still in his bed clothes reading the newspaper, one of the main articles was that potions master extraordinaire has left his job in hope to pursue more research work in America and Hogwarts needed a new potions teacher quickly. The things the headmaster can do…

The man soon notices I'm awake and suddenly with a swish of his wand we're both dressed; him in a blue robe and me a standard black robe. Before I can even comment, I'm being pulled out of bed and pushed into the floo with him; off to Diagon Alley we go.

When we come out of the floo, the street is busy; Dumbledore grabs my hand and strides through the crowds I have to jog so that I don't get dragged along, the joys of being short. We walk for a while until we're in a part I don't recognize, the shop displays become less bright and more elegant, the prices shown in the windows also increase, I've definitely never been to this part. His walking slows down but he doesn't let go of my hand and we enter a white building with no windows and no sign.

The first thing I saw was a white desk with a woman sitting behind it also wearing white, it's quite unnerving; I stand closer to Dumbledore and he puts his arm around my shoulders and starts to talk to the woman behind the desk, "I have an appointment for my young ward here" he nods his head towards me and I shrink back to hide when the woman looks at me. "Ah yes, Doctor Lind will be down here in a minute to take you up to the treatment room." She smiles at me and I just look at the floor.

We sit for what seems an eternity in the white reception room, when it has only been about two minutes before I very tall man with dark brown hair comes walking in smiling asking for us to join him.

When we get to the treatment room, well I presume it's a treatment room I try to remember what Dumbledore said was going to be done with me, something about hair? I don't really remember that much from last night.

I'm sitting on a chair in the middle of the room, Dumbledore was asked to leave the room for privacy and the man is circling me. I look down, and pray that he won't cut my hair too short. His hard comes under my chin and pulls my face up and he examines me further, he touches my nose, pushes my mouth open and looks at my teeth. Last night is coming back to me, teeth, nose...I start to panic. He releases my face and pulls his wand out, tells me he knows what to do and then everything goes black.

When I wake up, I'm in a white bed, in a place I don't same brown haired doctor sitting at I assume is his desk, reading Witch Weekly. He notices I've woken up and springs up a smile plastered over his face, some people are really too happy for their own good.

I pull myself up, feeling a little woozy, my legs don't touch the floor...I jump down, of course, I forgot, I'm 15. The smiling doctor, walks alongside me blabbering away but I ignore him when I suddenly freeze, I reach for my wand and realize it's gone, shit. He looks at me and smiles, he really is very tall, I shrink back towards the opposite side of the room and he walks closer to me smiling, I'm about to shout when Dumbledore walks into the room also smiling and walks to me "Well, my my my Severus don't you clean up well? This is what you should have looked like if you hadn't been neglected as a child." I look to Dumbledore and then back to the man in white then back to Dumbledore.

I stand there confused, what on earth did the man do to me and where the fuck is my wand? I feel for my hair and yes it's shorter, just above my chin now. Dumbledore holds a mirror out to me, and I look. My nose, It's…not dented, I smile slightly; my nose is better! Then I see my teeth are straight and white! I'm not quite sure how to react so I stand there holding my nose and keeping my mouth open so I can my teeth. I don't they've ever been this good. I looked up when I hear laughter and the doctor is laughing, "You really do shine up well, young man. Not much work needed doing either, I just reset your nose to how it was before you broke it and then did some dental work. Have you ever been to a dentist young man?" I look at him confused, why I would go to a dentist; my parents said they were pointless. I shake my head and he comes over and tousles my hair, "I got someone to cut that hair of yours too, you really are a very good looking boy when you look after yourself, make sure you do! I don't want to have to see you back here for more work! But you're more than welcome to come back and see me whenever you want" He smiles at me and winks, then we hear a cough and he stands up straight and stops smiling, "Yes, Sir. Your ward is all sorted out now. The bill is taken care of, thank you for coming here today and if you ever need any other service don't hesitate to come back." Dumbledore glares at him, nods then takes me by the hand and we leave. I turn my head as we're leaving and the doctor waves at me and I blush, no one has ever flirted with me! Especially when I was 15! I whisper to the Headmaster about my wand and he says it's in his office. I feel practically naked without it.

The rest of the day was looking for clothes for me that we both agreed on and then stuff for me to go to school with. I spent most of the day blushing due to a salesperson making comments, Dumbledore just seemed to get angrier and held onto my hand tighter till the point it hurt.

We didn't get back to Hogwarts until past 10pm; I was wearing normal home clothes, my new ones; fitted black trousers and a dark blue shirt the same colour as my eyes. People always presumed they were black but no, just a very dark blue. My shoes were black and shiny. I felt like a shiny new penny.

I spent the evening looking through my school textbooks trying to see if I had forgotten anything and was glad to realize I hadn't, the next few years shouldn't be too bad then.

I was lying on the sitting room floor in Dumbledore's private chambers happily reading when Dumbledore came in and told me it was time for bed. I had a few new sets of pajamas most of them were cotton but I had one silk pair that Dumbledore insisted I got and those were the ones left out for me. I quickly changed and jumped into bed, Dumbledore pulled me closer to him and the lights went out. I was to be introduced to the school tomorrow evening after being sorted in the headmaster's office. Maybe being Charles Prince wasn't going to be so bad.

Dumbledore

I woke up early to ensure the Daily Prophet and bought into my story of Severus quitting, I was going to wake up the boy but he seemed so cosy, I let him sleep. I'd skip breakfast this morning, and probably any other meetings I'm supposed to have; I have a young ward in desperate need of some looking after.

There was a clinic that I had been recommended when I brought up I knew someone who would be needing work some time back and had the appointment booked for a good few months - the best places needed advance bookings of course. They would do the whole lot; I had told them the hair had to be shorter, the nose straightened and whatever they could do to fix the teeth. If they felt the need to do anything else they could as well, however having sent a picture to them they agree that would be enough.

I continued to watch the boy sleep, once the work was done he'd be a sure beauty. Even now he was something to watch, his high defined cheekbones and small lips parted slightly, messy hair and just sprawled over the bed. Just before 2pm, I could tell the boy was waking up so grabbed the newspaper. Time to get to work with him…

9 hours later

The clinic was fantastic, as good as its reputation claimed to be, quick and effective, yes the price was hefty but gosh was it worth it.

I spent the rest of the day debating with the boy, he only wanted black simple clothes. I want to show him off! I insisted on nicely fitted clothing, no point in hiding him too much, and managed to persuade him some silk pyjamas would help him sleep when he overheats.

Overall it was a good day, he looked like a new shiny penny...even if other people were looking at him, how dare they?! The boy belongs to him!

When we had got back to Hogwarts, Severus, I mean Charles, was keen to read through the textbooks. I left him to it, he had sprawled himself across the floor with books everything with his legs gently kick in the air, occasionally nibbling his quill. A rather lovely sight, that I could definitely get used to. I check the time and tell the boy to get changed into the "cooling" pyjamas and pointed him off to my room, he didn't even bat an eyelid about sharing a bed, and didn't try to move away as I pulled him closer to me. He falls asleep almost instantly, I stroke his face gently, I'll look after him, I can feel myself reacting to the silk and him snuggled into me. Yes, this has worked out quite nicely.
