Snape P.O.V.

I turned over to see the clock. 5:15. Trudging into my bathroom I got dressed and did my morning routine. At the finish of things it was 5:30. I may as well go get the classroom set up. Stepping outside the door a familiar smell filled the room. I looked around to see Ms. Summerstone sitting at my desk with two cups of coffee. "Ms. Summerstone, I told you to arrive at 6. Why are you up already?" I questioned. She handed me a coffee. "I asked the elves which kind of coffee you like. They said you liked it plain. So I got you some when I was down there. And to answer your question, I get up early everyday. I don't see the reason in wasting it laying in bed." she stated and took a sip of her coffee. "Well today I have all my classes and it will be an introduction for 1st year, essay for 2nd and 3rd, and they will be making a potion in 4th threw 7th. I will be having them making a calming draught. The essays will be on what to expect in this class and the first year, well I will be talking the whole time." I finished as she raised her hand. "Yes?" I said and she smiled. We I just didn't know if you were done. I was thinking I could just give out your students schedules before breakfast. I can just go to the common room and hand them out if that's all right with you." she was so organized. I handed her the schedules and she walked off. She was so.. different.

Skylyn P.O.V.

Finally I reached the common room. "parseltongue" I said and the portrait opened. I walked threw into the common room. It was so dark and I loved it! It reminded me of my home when I was younger. The Slytherin crest everywhere, it was perfect. Students were scattered about. I stood up on a table. "Attention all students. My name is Ms. Summerstone and I am your assistant head of house. If you need anything come to me because professor Snape is very busy. Now I have all of your schedules here please get it. I will be here until 5:50. thank you." One by one the students got their schedules. Finally I only had one left. Draco. I walked up to a boy I saw Draco get off the train with. "Excuse me. Where is Draco's room?" I asked. The dumb looking fellow stared at me. "It is up those stair. First on on the left. You can't miss it. By the way I am Gregory Goyle." he stuck out his hand. I looked down at it. I had no intention of shaking it. I walked up the stairs and saw the door. Hmm.. messing with Draco would be fun. I slowly opened the door trying not to make any noise. I saw him laying in his bed. Peacefully sleeping. Tip toeing in she climbed into his bed wrapping her arm around him. He let a sigh out of his mouth. I tried to keep myself from laughing. "Draco" I whispered. "mmm.. Sky.." I burst into laughter and he jumped up. "bloody hell! What are you doing in my bed women!" I looked at him. "What Dra? You don't remember what we did after the feast last night?" I said with a puppy dog look. "Oh believe me Sky I would remember." he said grabbing an under shirt. "Draco you have little abs! How cute!" I squealed. He smiled. "Beside if we had slept together you wouldn't have this much energy." he smirked. "Draco! How dare you!" I giggled out. "Hey I am not the cougar here." "Draco! I am only.. 10 years older!" I argued. I stood up and fixed my dress. "Anyway I came in here to give you your schedule. Because you slept in! Well I will be seeing you after lunch. Don't be late!" I walked out closing the door.

I quickly ran back to the classroom in hopes I was not late. I slowly opened the door. "Ms. Summerstone." crap. I walked in to see Severus standing there. "Did you get them handed out alright?" he asked. Why wasn't he yelling at me? "Yeah. It all went well. How are you doing here?" I asked. He was staring at me. "Perfectly fine." he snapped back. Why did he act like this? He was so short with me. It was like there was something wrong with me. I had done everything I possibly could to please him. "Help me gather the materials for the potions they will be concocting." he said. I looked at him without moving. "What? No please?" I asked. He looked at me as if I was a total idiot. "I am your superior. I am in charge of you you will do as I say." he retorted. "Well you may be in charge of me but you could at least use proper manners. Haven't you ever been around a girl?" He turned away with a scowl on his face. "Wow. You actually haven't been around a girl? What you've never had a girlfriend?" I questioned. He remained silent. Had I gone to far? I walked over to him. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you." I said grabbing his shoulder. He looked at me. "Well. Here is the list of things we need to grab. Just set one of each on the tables. After that we can go get breakfast. Can you please go to the storage room. Thank you." he said. I walked out thinking about it.

I had finally grabbed all the materials he had listed. I put them all in a basket. I opened the door to see Draco surrounding a group of kids. He was with his two friends he had gotten off the train with. They were surrounding a dark haired boy, a red haired boy and a girl. "No one asked for your opinion you filthy little mudblood. As for you Wesley watch where you step." "DRACO! Leave them alone." I said rushing up to them. Draco looked over at me and turned to walk away. I grabbed his shoulder. "Detention. Tonight. In the potions room." he glared and walked away. What had gotten into him. I knew he was mean spirited but god. "Are you three okay?" I asked. They all nodded with a little fear in there eyes. I gave them a questioning look. "You're Snape's assistant." the girl said. I smiled. "Yeah. Does that mean I am evil or something?" I laughed. Me evil. Right. "Well I assure you I am not. If I was would I have stopped Mr. Malfoy?" I asked. The girl put her hand out. "I am Hermione Granger. This is Ron Weasley and Harry." she said. I shook her hand. "Do you not have a last name Harry?" I asked. He looked at me. "I am Harry Potter." he said. "Well Mr. Potter I suggest you hurry to breakfast with your friends. I will see you three in potions." I said. They said their goodbyes and walked off. I picked up the basket and walked off.

I walked into the classroom. Severus was sitting at his desk. I slowly walked in and started putting all the ingredients onto the table. When I finished I walked up to his desk. He didn't look up. "Severus." I said. He jumped up. "How long have you been in here?" he questioned. I looked around. I came in and put the ingredient onto the desk. About 10 minutes. You seem tense." I said hoping he would open up. " I am perfectly fine Ms. Summerstone. Well we might as well go get our breakfast while we have time."

Severus and I now sat together at the table. Dumbledore thought since we were going to be in the same classrooms we needed to get to know each other better. For breakfast we were served eggs, bacon, and a biscuit. I pulled out my wand and whipped up some chocolate syrup and squeezed it all over my eggs and bacon. Severus looked over at me in total disgusted. I gave him a what look. "That is absolutely repulsive." he commented. I Smiled. " no it is not! It is really good. I promise you'll like it. Alright if you don't like it I will grade all of you essays. But if you do.. You have to spend the day with me Saturday at hogsmead." I explained. He nodded in approval. I picked up a piece of bacon with my fork and went to put it in his mouth. He looked out at the crowd in front of us and gave me a disproving look. I handed his the fork and he put it in his mouth. He chewed and swallowed. His dark eyes lit up in a way. " Well, it looks like I am stuck with you Saturday" he said and winked at me.

We finished our breakfast and went back to the classroom. Severus went over to his board and wrote his name on it. "You nervous?" I asked. He looked back at me. "Why on earth would I be nervous I have been teacher here for 14 years. It's just new students. I have dealt with Potter so surely these students are nothing compared to him." I got confused. What was wrong with Potter? "What do you mean. What is wrong with Potter? I Met him today and frankly I found him to be very nice. I also met his friends. Hermione and Ronald." I said. He smirked to himself. "Potter is an arrogant no good boy. He thinks he is all high and mighty because he is the boy who lived. He struts around the castle as if he owns it. As for Granger she is a know it all. Her marks are perfect and she displays her knowledge far to much. Weasley is no good at potions and I bet by the end of this term his cauldron blows up 6 times." he finished and sat down at his desk. "Well I will be sure to look out for her attacks with knowledge. I have a question. Is Draco Malfoy always rude and a jerk to everyone around here?" I questioned sitting on a desk near his. He laughed to himself. "That is Malfoy for you. He is a prat who thinks that he owns everyone because he is a pureblood and his fathers position at the ministry. Why did he make a rude comment to you?" I shook my head. "No. Just I knew him before I came here. Him and I have always gotten along. But today I saw him in the hall picking on Harry and his friends. So I yelled at him and gave him detention tonight. In here if you don't mind. I mean Draco is extremely nice to me. "Maybe it is because he is attracted to you." Severus stated. I was shocked. "What? No nonsense. I am far too old for him." I said. "Surely you are only what. 18?" Severus said. I blushed wildly. "Well Severus, I am far from that. I will tell you if you tell me." I said. He nodded. "I am 34 Ms. Summerstone. Your turn." I looked at the ground. "twenyfooor." I mumbled. "What was that?" he asked. I sighed. "I am 24 Severus." I spit out. He smiled. "Really? Well I guess we are closer in age than I toughs. Well student will be arriving soon. You can sit at my desk I will alert you if I need assistance." he turned away. Today was going to be fantastic.
