Staff behaving badly

Staff behaving badly

I own nothing, anything recognizable obviously doesn't belong to me and I promise to put it back once I've finished playing with it, everything written here is just for fun and not profit, although reviews are always welcomed. Eric Northman and the SVM series belong to Charlaine Harris.

This is set 5 years after the war and Hermione has been teaching transfiguration for the last 3 years and is head of Gryfindor, also on the staff are Harry (Quidditch) Sirius (Charms) and Remus (Dada) and obviously Potions is being taught by Severus.

I would just like to say a special thank you to all those of you who were kind enough to review.
This chapter was originally a flash back scene that I needed but I just couldn't get it to work properly so it is now a chapter in it's own right.

Chapter 11.

The staffroom.

Severus was sat in his usual seat by the fire with Sirius next to him, the entire entourage of staff at Hogwarts were waiting in the staffroom for Minerva and Remus to show up with a Vampire who was an ambassador for the American Magical Ministry.

He was covertly watching the witch opposite him who was curled up on the window seat with a book open on her lap while she chatted quietly with Harry who was sat next to her, Severus's fingers ached to tuck a curl which had escaped from her ponytail back behind her ear in the end that honour went to Harry who was rewarded with a small smile.

The Staffroom door opened interrupting his thought as Minerva, Remus and a tall blond man walked in.

"If I could have your attention please" Minerva spoke to the room "I would like to introduce to Mr Eric Northman, he will be visiting us for a couple of weeks as a guest of the minister I expect him to be treated with the utmost respect as befits a guest of Hogwarts."

"Excuse me Headmistress, is it wise having a Vampire in the castle with the children?" asked Poppy.

Minerva looked annoyed "Poppy both the minister and Mr Northman have given their words that the children are safe, I will leave Mr Northman to answer any questions you have as I have a mountain of paperwork calling me."

Severus watched as the rather stressed headteacher swept from the room leaving Remus and a amused Vampire to face the music.

Remus led Mr Northman around the room introducing him to the staff present.

"Hello I'm pleased to be here, I have heard much about this wonderful teaching establishment and it's staff" Eric made his way over to Poppy, taking hold of one of her hands he bowed and kissed it and said "Poppy I can assure you that your charges are perfectly safe with me, however a beautiful woman such as yourself must be careful in case I lose my senses and set out to seduce you"

Severus was slightly nauseated as Poppy blushed like a virginal schoolgirl at the insincere trash being spewed out by the vampire, he held his breath as Remus and the vampire reached Hermione and Harry, unsure how Hermione was going to react to this obviously alpha male vampire.

Eric turned to Remus and said "It's okay Mr Lupin there's no need for introduction I've heard much about the Golden Trio and as I've already met Mr Weasley at a ministry function it stands to reason that these two must be the other two thirds, Saviour of the Wizarding world and his friend."

The Staffroom went quiet as everybody there knew that Harry and Hermione hated being called the Golden Trio or similar, Severus was transfixed as his witch exchanged a look with Harry, slowly closed her book and fixed the Vampire with a stare.

"I am Professor Granger, this is my very good friend and colleague Professor Potter" she waved her hand towards Harry, "We do not answer to idiotic names enforced on us by the press, I'm sure you can understand that you Parasitic Leech."

Severus hid a smirk as Hermione put the vamp in his place, both he and everybody else in the room except Harry and Hermione seemed to hold their breaths unsure of the Vamps reaction. Severus reached into the vampires mind to see what he was feeling, reading amusement and lust due to the fact that she smelt delicious he withdrew and waited to see what would happen next.

Eric burst out laughing "Well met professor please forgive my rudeness, allow me to introduce myself properly I am Eric Northman, ambassador for America and sheriff of Area five"

Hermione interrupted "Also owner of Fangtasia a nightclub for Vamps, Fangbangers and tourists run when you're not there by your child and second in command Pam, you also have numerous other businesses which I shall not bother to mention" She blatantly looked him up and down, when her eyes met his she gave him a wink.

"You also have a reputation for being quite a Lover but then being over a thousand years old, Viking I'd expect it".

Eric smiled at her with a little bit of fang showing "You're surprisingly well informed witch, how?"

She smirked and her eyes caught Severus's briefly before she looked back at the handsome blonde Vampire in front of her "Well when another of your nicknames is an Insufferable know it all, you'd be well informed too."

The staff let out it's collective breath as the Vampire chuckled "Please call me Eric, I hope we cross paths soon Professor it's been delightful talking with you in fact it's a shame my child Pam can't be here as I know that the two of you would get along famously."

Hermione smiled back and offered her hand out "It's Hermione and I would love to chat with you again perhaps over a coffee or a True blood in your case and perhaps discuss Nordic runes it's a hobby of mine you see."

"I would be delighted ..Hermione, tomorrow evening perhaps? after the school assembly I think it is"

When she nodded in agreement Eric turned to Harry and began talking to him, Hermione just grinned at Remus and raised an eyebrow at him as he shook his head in disbelief at her actions.

Suddenly Minerva stuck her head in the fireplace and asked Remus if he could bring Eric back to her office as some forms had just arrived that he needed to sign.

Eric said goodbye and promised to tell every body more about his visit at the school assembly that was being held tomorrow evening, Remus showed him how the floo worked and they both exited the room.

As soon as they'd left the staffroom was in uproar, Severus walked up to Hermione, he grabbed her arm and turned her so she was facing him.

"Do you have a bloody death wish witch? Not only did you goad the bloody Vampire, you flirted with him as well!" He snarled at her.

Hermione was surprised at how angry he was, but didn't back down "That's rich coming from you didn't you spend the most of last night with your tongue down some bimbos throat?"

Severus paled at the insult "Melody is not a bimbo she is an old friend who I haven't seen in years, that's besides the point at least Melody isn't going to rip my throat out and drink me dry given half a chance, unlike the bloodsucker. You're not to be alone with him Hermione."

Hermione glared at him "Who. Do. You. Think. You. Are?" poking him in the chest with every word "What right do you have to tell me who I can and can't be alone with? Did you tattoo Property of Severus Snape on me when I wasn't looking?...No? Then go and screw your animated blow up bimbo and leave me the Fuck alone!" She yanked her arm out of his grasp and stalked out of the staffroom leaving a stunned Potions master in her wake.

Severus quickly came to his senses and walked out of the staffroom slamming the door behind him, luckily for both Severus and Hermione the rest of the staff had missed the entire conversation as both Harry and Sirius had cast muffling charms on the warring pair.

Sirius looked at his Godson and sighed "Well come on I suppose it's up to us to go and calm the waters"

"I'd leave the calming to Remus if I was you Pads, look what happened the last time you gave Severus advice" replied Harry smirking at the older man.

Sirius rolled his eyes and followed Harry out of the staffroom, unaware that as soon as they'd left the Hogwarts gossip machine started up about the entire evenings events including the obvious argument between Hermione and Severus even if they didn't hear what was being said.

Okay my lovely readers I hope you like it. Xx

Please tell me what you think in a up coming chapter one of the fun nights will be a sports event I can't decide whether they should play quidditch or a muggle game e.g rounders, cricket.
