Title: Snape's Revenge
Rating: K
Summary: Voldemort makes Snape Headmaster but when Voldemort tells him who will be Muggle Studies Professor and Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor Snape has his own ideas on who would be perfect for the positions. Guess who comes to Hogwarts?
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Harry Potter characters, they all belong to J.K Rowling, but I do like to play with them.

Chapter 2: Moving In
Snape unloaded the rest of his things and took them to the Headmaster's office. When he arrived he saw that his cats were still in their cage, looking eager to get out. He checked to make sure that nothing could tempt two determined cats and then finally let them out. Koko sniffed around once he had slowly gotten out and then he raced around, Snape watching as he managed to keep from hurting himself, which never failed to amaze him. He then leaped to the top of the tallest shelf, which was near the door, and waited for anyone to come in that he didn't know.
"Be a good little watch cat," Snape told him, wondering what students would do when they saw the visitor that seemed to think that everyone was untrustworthy.
Meanwhile Yum Yum was busy poking her paw at the painting of Sirius Black's ancestor, the one that had only called out for Sirius to make sure the man was dead. The subject didn't like her there and made it known.
"Can you keep this blasted monster away from me," he said.
"No, I think I like you being teased," Snape told him, giving him a huge smile while Yum Yum gave Sirius ancestor a good hiss.
He then filled the cat's commode with litter and at once the two cats appeared. He showed them were it was and then Koko and Yum Yum returned to whatever they were doing.
"Welcome back, Severus," said the painting of Dumbledore. "I hope that your trip was well."
"It was pleasant," Snape told him. "However I couldn't find the staff."
"They all decided to hide from you but I'm glad you found them," Dumbledore said. "And I see that you've brought your family."
"The only ones that don't mind whatever I've done," Snape told him.
"Well get ready for a challenging job," Dumbledore told him, "In more ways then one."
Snape had a feeling that he would be right.
That night Snape watched the first-years, everyone of them half-blood or pureblood, being sorted. Once the last one, a girl who had the last name of Willow, was sorted into Ravenclaw Snape stood up.
"Welcome to another year at Hogwarts," Snape told the student body. "I have two teachers to add to our ranks. First: Professor Remus Lupin has consented to return as Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher."
Those that had Professor Lupin before cheered as he stood up. When the clapping ended Snape continued.
"And his wife, Dora Lupin, has joined us as Muggle Studies Professor," he added.
Several people clapped and he hoped that they liked Dora.
"Filch has asked me to remind people that joke items from Weasley Wizard Weezes have been banned, along with several other items, no magic is to be done in the corridor between classes and if anyone has any problems you can talk to your Head of House especially in these dark times."
He then sat down and the feast started.
The next morning an owl delivered a letter from Voldemort. It read as following:
Severus,
I'm most upset at the death of the Carrow twins. I've also heard that you hired Lupin and his rotten half-blood wife. Meeting is next week and I expect an honest answer.
Voldemort
"Rotten half-blood himself," Snape had said.
Another owl delivered a letter and this one was a tad friendlier.
Severus,
The students just love that Lupin is back, though I must report that Harry, Ron, and Hermione are showing up to see if Lupin and his wife are dead. I'll keep them out of your way.
Professor McGonagall
"I think I'm going to let Potter and his friends visit me," Snape told the cats, who were sunning themselves after a can of salmon was fed to them. "At least if Potter tries to kill me you can stop him."
Koko gave him a searching look and then jumped to his usual place and Yum Yum went back to teasing Sirius ancestor. Snape wrote back to McGonagall, telling her to allow Potter and his friends to come up and telling her the password.

"Are you nuts, Severus?" McGonagall asked him. "Potter will kill you."
When McGonagall had arrived Koko gave her a scare when she opened the door and then sniffed her. He gave her his personal seal of approval by way of a swish of his tail and she sat down.
"I'm not being nuts, Minerva," Snape told her. "I just want to show Potter that the Headmaster's office is still open to anyone."
"Minerva, it's a good idea," Dumbledore said. "Severus can give Harry a message and then administer the potion that he has brewed during the summer."
"What potion?" McGonagall asked him.
"The potion will rid Potter of his soul fragment," Snape told her. "I got rid of the Carrows because I didn't want Potter to be put in danger."
"And we don't need that," Dumbledore said.
Snape nodded in agreement.
Sure enough Potter and his friends did come, the next morning, and Potter stormed into the Headmaster's office, Hermione letting out a horrible scream when she saw Koko.
"How dare you come into Dumbledore's office," he told Snape, his wand out. "So have you killed Remus and his wife?"
"No, I haven't," Snape said. "In-fact I think that the Muggle Studies class is looking at the car that I brought."
"Oh like a Death Eater like you would need a car," Harry said.
"Potter, Mr. Weasley got me a car and enchanted it so that it would work," Snape told him. "Now could you lower your wand before you upset my cats."
"YOW!" Koko said in agreement.
"I bet he poisons them," he heard Weasley muttering to Granger.
"I most certainly don't," Snape told Weasley. "I love them."
"Like you could-."
"That's quite enough, Mr. Weasley," said the painting of Dumbledore just as McGonagall walked in.
"Ah I see that Mr. Potter hasn't murdered you, Severus," McGonagall said.
"That would be correct, Minerva," Snape told her.
"Professor, why are you being friendly with Snape?" Granger asked, looking at her Head of House with worry.
"That's Professor Snape, Miss Granger," McGonagall said. "And he's a Headmaster here and so I give him respect."
Potter glared at Snape but he got up and walked over to a table. He pulled a small vial out and walked over to Potter.
"I want you to drink this, Mr. Potter," Snape told him.
"Like hell I will," Potter said.
"Mr. Potter, this is a soul fragment destroying potion," McGonagall told him. "It will remove You-know-who's soul from you."
"Which is the only reason why you have a connection to his thoughts," Dumbledore told Potter. "Take it and you'll be free of him."
Potter took it and drank it in one gulp. He shuttered and then started to scream. Koko and Yum Yum didn't like this sound and started making some of their own. Finally the fragment vanished and Potter gasped for breath.
"Are you alright, Harry?" Snape asked him.
Potter nodded and McGonagall and Granger helped him up.
"Place him in the chair and I'll have Madam Pomfrey check him out," Snape told them.
Slowly Potter was placed in a chair and Yum Yum, seeing that the noise was over, jumped on Potter's lap, turned three times, and then settled down.
"Now it's time for the end to begin," Snape said.
