I hope you like the new chapter and tell me what you think of our new teacher Mr. Achmetha (Ak-Meth-tha) and remember to review

The man stared up at the castle, he raised a brow and grinned to himself. He hid himself behind the large thick trunks of twisting trees.

''What do you think Beedlee'' The Strange man whispered to a slick black Mamba he had picked up during one of his times in hiding. It was coiled softly around its neck, head resting on his shoulder

''It is dangerous if I say truthfully , I do not like humans you know this but I have accepted you , I connected with you but there lies many hands and eyes I do not wish to be seen or touched by…'' It whispered into its ear, its tickling the man's neck.

''We will hide here for now Beedlee'' The man answered, his hand resting on the tree trunk.

''come child, let us rest''

Ophelia dashed down the hall, Severus tailing along.

''TODAY WE HAVE THE SPECIAL CLASSES WITH PRINCIPLE YOUNGBLOOD HURRY SEV !'' she yelled stopping for a brief moment to catch her own breath before climbing up the stairs three at a time stretching her legs till they ended up on the 5th floor.

''Made it just in ti-'' a large crow screeched in the distance as she slammed the door open. The other students looked back at her curiously.

''Hey losers!'' she grinned as Miss Youngblood rolled her eyes and chuckled softly.

''sit Ophelia…'' Severus came in a second after , his hair tangled , he didn't have any time to brush it after physical education which he hated most out of all his classes. He tried to remember them all along with the teachers. He began to recite his list in order as he sat down next to Ophelia.

''pSs Snape'' Ophelia rubbed her elbow into Severus's ribs ''Mrs. Youngblood is calling on you, are you deaf'' Severus's head snapped up.

''Sorry Professor, I was distracted, please can you ask me your question again?''

''I asked you, what are the three principles of alchemy'' She crossed her arms in front of her, today she wore a large feathery hat the colors of a peacocks feathers.

''Mercury, salt and Sulphur'' he straightened his back confidently and she smiled.

''Ophelia now please recite the planets and metals of Alchemy'' Ophelia grinned and straightened her tie as well.

''Moon with silver , Mercury with Quicksilver , Venus with copper, the sun with gold, mars with iron , Jupiter and tin and finally Saturn along with lead'' She ended raising her chin up.

''Very good Ophelia and Severus, Nicholas Flamel would be very proud'' a few of the students snickered as she sunk in her seat red faced and embarrassed

''You know it's almost Halloween… its October already can you believe it?'' She stuffed her notes inside her messenger bag while Severus stacked his properly and placed them inside his own leather bag.

''Yes I can believe it , it said on the calendar you know , now come on I don't want to miss Dinner again , I have no idea why I signed up for Divination and Ancient runes , its hell really'' Ophelia snorted and rolled her eyes as they walked out of class.

''So...what do you plan on doing when Christmas comes?'' He raised a brow.

''Ophelia we aren't even close to December, hold your horse''

''Its hold your horses genius, either way I'm planning on staying my mother is going on a trip with my brother to Australia so I have to stay here, and you?'' She climbed onto the bannister turning to grin at Severus as she let go and slid down, he could hear her giggling all the way.

''Well if you don't run away I could tell you, but I'm returning to England so I can have a look at the estate of my inheritance…you know…you could come with me if you wish and not annoy me…'' she didn't have any time to jump off the bannister as she slid down and fell on her ass with a loud THUMP!

''really?! Me I can go with you to England, I've only been once you know, every time I go to Europe it's usually France or Germany'' She kept on rambling. ''I could knit us sweaters, I learned from my nanny how to knit, what color do you want? wait don't tell me , green and black I bet , mines I'll be green and gold , I like those colors their nice'' Severus sighed and almost immediately regretted the idea , now even more when the thought came to his mind 'A girl in his home' and a girl who liked him as well.. He shivered and thought of Lily, how he would usually stay at her parents' home every Christmas and break.

They walked down entering the round Hall with four entryways, of course they always choose the one with silver doors, and they entered the mess hall. It was a huge hall with a long tall ceiling, this time enchanted with rain and soft thunder but no sound.

''Odd don't you think?'' Severus asked as they sat down, other students filing in.

''Nah, it always changes with the weather if you haven't noticed'' she teased and began to grab at some roast beef, chicken legs, tomato soup, boiled carrots and potatoes and breadsticks. She piled it high on her plate.

''You're hungry?'' Severus just ate a simple chicken sandwich.

''and you aren't? I have quidditch practice after this'' she bit into the chicken leg as the hall doors closed indicating all the students had arrived.

''Everyone, everyone please give me your undivided attention!'' Miss Youngblood spoke loudly, William the Pukwudgie grumbled next to her. He was usually grumpy.

''We have an important announcement, as you know I am usually the one late to Alchemy lessons for those who take my class'' There was a soft laughter from the students ''so I have decided the school would rather be thankful to have a teacher who was always available, please give your warmest welcome to our new Alchemy teacher Mr. Achmetha'' The students clapped, a bit happy they didn't have to face the wrath of not turning in their homework face to face with their Principle.

Ophelia raised a brow at the strange man.

''Look at his tattoo, its cool don't you think?'' she asked Severus in a whisper.

''It's an eye Ophelia, plenty people have tattoos of snakes'' He shrugged and went back to eating.

''Yeah then why does he have a snake?'' before Severus could respond Mr. Achmetha spoke up.

''I am so touched by your warm welcoming'' He was a thin man, hair slicked back in a ponytail with a red bow, high cheekbones and flashing green eyes. A few of the girls swooned at the handsome man, still he had dark lines under his eyes if you looked closely.

''I promise you all I will strive to become the best teacher I could ever possibly become , now I will stop interrupting your dinner'' He flashed a grin as a loud boom of thunder and lightning illuminated the skies , everyone turned to look outside at the bright flash of lightning. Ophelia turned back to look at the teacher and noticed he had left.
