*********************************************
Chapter 1


She knew she was the luckiest woman alive. She had had a good life so far. Wonderful family, fun college years and a great job. However, she was offered a position she could absolutely not refuse.

She had met Albus Dumbledore by mere chance. Of course, now that she thought about it, it probably wasn’t mere chance at all. Whatever the reasons he had, he kept them to himself. It was the end result that made her smile. She was to teach at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She was what Albus called, a muggle. And she would be teaching muggle studies. He had laughed at her when she questioned this and he said, ‘What better person to teach muggle studies than a muggle?’.

Chloe shook her head and laughed as she climbed the stairs to his office. Tonight, she would meet the other professors at Hogwarts. Albus was throwing her a little welcome gathering. She was dressed as a muggle, no use in hiding that fact. Her black slacks and knit top were as muggle-ish as anyone could get. She had tied her long brown hair loosely in a ponytail and tried her best not to look nervous. But she was. Her heart banged loudly in her chest as she tried to slow her breathing.

She knocked on the door.

The great wooden door opened to reveal Albus, smiling from ear to ear and holding a glass of wine. Chloe saw many people crammed into his office and she gave him a weak smile as he closed the door behind her.

Albus turned to his guests and clapped his hands.

“The moment has arrived. As has the guest of honor. I am pleased to introduce you to Hogwarts’ Muggle studies professor, Chloe Browning. And might I add, the very first muggle professor Hogwarts has ever had.” He smiled as if he was introducing his new wife to his family. Chloe have him a smile and turned to face her new colleagues.

There were so many of them. Some of them had smiles, others just stood and stared at her.

“Come now…I will introduce you all one at a time. The rest of you, eat and enjoy this fantastic feast!” Albus took her arm and lead her over to a very severe looking woman.

“Minerva Mcgonagall, Deputy Head Mistress and professor of Transfiguration.” Minerva shook her hand and gave her a small smile. Chloe smiled and was ushered off to the next person. Rubeus Hagrid. Remus Lupin. Nymphroda Tonks. A tiny man she couldn’t remember his name. A host of people she found out, didn’t teach here at all. They were here to simply welcome her into the wizarding world. Chloe’s face hurt from smiling so much and she didn’t notice that one other person was hugging the back wall that she had not meat yet.

Albus lead her to the back corner and Chloe saw a man dressed in black. He had extremely long black hair that looked dirty and greasy. His skin was pale and he was not enjoying himself. He was looking into his glass of wine wishing he were somewhere else. That, Chloe could easily tell.

“Severus Snape, our Defense against the Dark Arts Professor.” Albus motioned toward the man in black, Severus Snape, and Chloe shook his hand. They were incredibly soft hands. He nodded to her and went back to his wine.

She was ushered off to the next group of people but she kept thinking about the man Professor Snape. He didn’t look friendly at all actually. But there was something about him….


************

A new professor. And this one was getting a party for taking the job. Severus snorted into his wine and tried to get as drunk as possible, as quickly as possible. That was the only way he ever survived any of Dumbledore’s parties.

He heard Albus announce the new professor.

A muggle? Here at Hogwarts?

He made no effort to see her. Chloe. What kind of a name was that? She was being lead around like a prized show dog.

As he drained the last bit of his wine, he looked up and caught a glimpse of her. His heart stopped.

She was beautiful. Not like the muggle women he had seen in magazines, she was more interesting. Her hair looked like it was about to fall from the tie and cascade around her shoulders. Severus watched, almost hoping it would.

He realized, she would be coming over to him soon and he poured himself another glass of wine quickly. He had no business lusting after a woman. Much less a muggle.

Nevertheless, he found himself looking into his glass, deep in thought, as she approached at Dumbledore’s side.

“Severus Snape, our Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher.” Dumbledore said.

Severus had no choice. It took all of his efforts to shake her hand and not stare at her too long. He did see her eyes were a mix of green and brown. Interesting…

He watched her walk away. Defiantly a body to match the face. Severus drained his third glass for the night and pushed the thoughts that were creeping into his head away.
