I do not own Harry Potter

Severus P.O.V

Okay so I was not expecting that, no I was definitely not expecting that. Well this should be interesting. These were my thoughts when I noticed Malfoy trying to talk to me, realizing I still needed to be Snape, I put my darker and more brooding look back on my face and said in my usual cold and detached voice "what are you babbling on about Lucius, such nonsense is unbecoming of you."

He looked at me as if I had grown another head and said "well as I was saying how can he be qualified to be a student let alone a professor he's hardly older than you are, there's no way he is a fit enough to be a professor"

I looked at him and barley managed to hold a laugh from bursting out of me but I couldn't hold back my smirk so I said "I Can assure you that he is way past qualified Lucius and he is one year four months and a week older than I'm to be exact, are you sure this isn't because Narcissa was eying him earlier when he walked out, a spot jealous are we? don't worry he's not like Black he may have looks practically beyond compare but he is a far cry from a hound dog unlike that tramp that is Sirius Black."

He looked at me with a platinum blonde eyebrow raised and asked "how is it that you know so much about him Severus, do you have important friends I am unaware of?" I thought of a way to explain our connection and came up with "Friend no I do not but a brother/father figure yes"

that was the best way I could explain it, I hoped that would be enough and he would back off but no such luck "brother I can understand but father figure I'm sure that's a bit of exaggeration Severus I'm sure." I wanted to address that heatedly but I was able to reign myself in and calmly replied "no it is jot an exaggeration he has matured both physically and mentally faster than anyone our age he's taught me practically all I know, so I think that's all there is to tell." With that I ended the convocation and went back to eating my food.

Lily P.O.V

I sat down with my house and was chatting with Alice when Professor Dumbledore stood at the podium and spoke he started with his usually spiel and I kind of tuned him out because I could quote it by heart until I caught "…I would like to introduce your new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor who will be replacing professor Erich who is currently on leave because of health problems…" that twinkle you seen in his eye was there even I could tell from my table and he continued "…I will say that he may be young but he is quite adept in his field rivaling that of some wizards twice his age."

He like the dramatic he is paused for effect and continued "I would like to welcome Professor Vincenzo Antonichi Da Firenze" I heard my fork drop to my plate before all hell broke loose I heard a lot of the female population of Hogwarts saying some rather flattering things about Papà.

I then heard sounds of outrage from the Marauders, namely Sirius and Peter "he can't be a professor" I snorted with indignation and almost held back my laugh key word almost, Sirius turned to me and said "what are you laughing about, that wanker is the reason why James is going to be laid up in the medical wing until tomorrow morning" I was still mad about that but I would be over it soon there was no avoiding it.

"That's not that bad at least he held back, I remember when we were younger, I think I was about ten there was this bully who decided I would be his target for the day and pushed me off of the swings because I wouldn't move for him since he wanted it, I ended up with a sprained ankle and wrist a few days later he showed up with black eye and apologized, Vinny is very protective"

the Marauders and a few people around me who heard my story were looking at me funny, it probably didn't help that I talked about this as if discussing the weather. Alice turned to me and said "why do you seem to attract violent people Lily, do you have so much good it needs to be balanced out with bad?"

I thought about it and figure I should set some things straight "No, I don't attract violent people, why would you think that?" this time my friend Mary said "are you serious Lily? First is Severus, who is violent and after that story I don't know how your telling us that neither of them are violent?"

now it was my turn to look at her disgruntled "in the case of Sev, he is not violent he only defends himself he doesn't instigate fights if you haven't noticed, in all of the fights between Sev and the Marauders he has never once been the instigator or did you think he was always to blame because he is a Slytherin? He will leave you alone if you do the same. As for papà, he's just protective he'll do whatever necessary to protect the ones he loves, so no I don't think that either of them are violent people."

I thought that would be that but apparently the people around me had more questions and as I was about to take a bite of my food I heard "why do you call him papà?" that was simple so with a smile is said "I call him that for many reason the one ill tell you is that he is like a father to me or a brother, whichever I need. He's taught me all I know about the wizarding world so he's like my wizard dad."

I was hoping that would be it but apparently not "why did, he call Severus your husband, you're not like married are you?" I let out a small laugh but also felt my cheeks heat up but answered "when we were younger, I made them both play house so I said Severus would be my husband and as usual Vinny would be my dad, and we kept it up so it's more of a joke title for us. Now can we just go back our food now? Please" I felt like I would catch fire from the heat in my cheeks.

It seemed the noise had gotten too loud, as people were still talking about papà. I saw him stand up and put his wand to his neck and speak "Silence" the hall was quiet once more before he continued after taking his wand away from his neck.

"Now then, I am glad to be here as an instructor and hopefully a friend as well, I'm sorry to have caused an uproar, but please quiet down, lastly I look forward to working with you all as your Professor thank you that is all." I knew that the rest of my stay at Hogwarts would be interesting, I am sure that whatever seems to affect the DADA teachers would not affect papà, so I look forward to what is to come.

That was chapter three of Big Bro Vinny thanks for reading and I hope you look forward to more. Till next time, Later Daze
