The Exchange Student

by chocoholly

I'll come up with a better title later. Dumbledore is sick of the hatred between Severus and James and decides to solve it by making them live with each other over the summer holidays marauders 5th year. AU. no slash.

2. Chapter 2

"I'm afraid I won't be able to let you continue on to 6th year while you two disrupt the peace in this school with your fighting."

Dumbledore looked over to top of his spectacles and smiled at the two boys sulking before him. "Now to work out the finer details. Severus's house is in a completely muggle area, therefore we will have to devise a suitable cover story for you, James. Severus, your father is expecting a French muggle exchange student. That particular language sprang to mind because I know both of you are familiar with it. After all, James, you live in a French village. Now all you need is a French accent! An all that takes is a simple voice-modulation charm."

"How perfectly tedious!" Drawled James.

Severus smirked, "And it's going to get worse. My tedious, muggle father doesn't approve of wizards; so you will have to keep the exchange student charade going 24/7!"

James looked horrified and swore in a way that made Dumbledore frown disapprovingly.

"You must be lying! Why would you be going to Hogwarts if your dad didn't approve of magic?"

Severus's evil grin widened. "Actually, he doesn't know about Hogwarts. If you tell him I will have to kill you. When a Hogwarts term finishes, I use a time turner to complete a term at the local muggle school. Father does not suspect a thing!

James rolled his eyes. Snape was such a weirdo.
