Just this once, an early update!
“After all of the fights and the lies,
Yes you wanted to harm me but that won’t work anymore.
No more, oh no, it’s over,
‘Cause if it wasn’t for all of your torture,
I wouldn’t know how, to be this way now,
And never back down,
So I want to say thank you”
Fighter – Christina Aguilera
Hermione silently fumed as McGonagall showed her to her rooms, and the rooms of her colleagues. She fumed as she briefed her team, and she was still fuming when she realised that the sorting would be beginning soon and she was expected as a teacher’s aide to be there. She could not believe that this was happening to her again, but she would have to be careful of who she directed her temper at while she was here. The look of anger in Dumbledore’s eyes had startled her, (He must have a good reason to be doing this again) She thought to herself as she warded her rooms, which were next to Snapes in the dungeon (But I\'m damned if I can think of what it is) She hadn’t seen Snape yet but in all honestly she was putting it off for as long as she could.
She entered the great hall via the teacher’s entrance and moved along the head table saying quick hellos to her old professors as she went. She had just reached the second to last empty seat when she heard a silky voice behind her.
“Good evening Miss Granger”
Her stomach clenched and she took a deep breath as she spun round to see Snape standing next to the other empty chair “Good evening professor Snape”
They just stood there, Neither making a move to sit down. The tension at the head table building, as all the teachers knew about their hostile relationship and were watching to see what would happen. They looked each other up and down, taking in the changes.
Severus could not believe that this was the same woman, oh he had heard all about her exploits but he hadn’t expected this, she looked so hard, so jaded, with her heavy make up and the long jagged scar down her face (But still beautiful, old boy)Said a little voice in his head. (Yes beautiful, until the violence got the better of her.)
Hermione looked him up and down, he looked exactly the same as she remembered him, tall and slim, pale skin, thin mouth, large crooked nose, straight black hair and those dark glittering eyes that could look evil and malicious in one moment and passionate and alive the next.(Yes passionate, until he starts with that cruel and vicious tongue of his) She thought. She noticed him frowning and immediately took the defensive.
“Is there a problem Professor”
Severus was snapped out of his thoughts at the sound of her voice. Was she sneering at him? Well if that’s how she wanted to play it “A problem, Miss Granger, I do not believe so. If anyone has a problem here I am quite sure it isn’t me”
Hermione was just about to come back at him when she heard Dumbledore clear his throat. They both turned away from each other and noticed that the whole school had been watching the exchange and that they were both still standing.
“My apologies Headmaster” Said Severus sitting down.
(Snivellus) Thought Hermione in a childish moment, remembering what Harry had told her one night about what he had seen in the pensieve, as she also took her seat.
They sat in silence during the sorting and the feast until eventually Dumbledore rose from his chair and clapped, effectively clearing away the remains of the food and getting everyone’s attention.
“Welcome back old and new” He started, smiling around the hall “A few start of term notices,
All Hogsmeade visits and Quidditch practices and matches are cancelled until further notice”
This caused a few grumbles around the hall, but Hermione supposed they all understood why.
“I am sorry but it has just become to dangerous at this time. On a lighter note you may have noticed the five extra staff at the table tonight. We have decided that it is time some of the teachers here had a little assistance in some of the required subjects” He looked up and down the table at the Aurors “If you could stand as I introduce you\" Said Dumbledore in a low voice “Only the students have learned to be wary of strange faces”
They all nodded
“I would like to introduce,Miss Rosenberg” A pretty red haired woman stood, blushing
“Mr Finn” A well built, sandy haired man, stood in a muggle military stance
“Mr Harris” A pleasant looking dark haired man stood and waved
“Miss Maclay” An attractive blonde woman stood, and smiled shyly
“And finally, some of you will know, Miss Granger” Hermione stood, smiling to some of the older students who were waving in recognition.
Dumbledore held his hands up to quiet the chatter that had broken out “I hope you will join me in welcoming these new aides who will be assisting Professors McGonagall, Hooch, Hagrid, Flitwick and Snape respectively”
Severus, who had been only half listening, spat out the mouthful of tea he had been drinking and stared at the headmaster as if he had grown another head. Some of the students started to mutter, as it was very rare to see Snape lose his cool. He glared around the hall, fury radiating from him and turned to Hermione, who was showing varying degrees of anger at hearing it said out loud and amusement at his reaction.
“What the hell is going on?”He hissed at her, eyes narrowed.
“It’s another one of your Headmaster’s brilliant ideas”She snapped back
“Oh no, I don’t think so”
And with that he stood and stalked out of the hall. Hermione waited about thirty seconds and stormed out after him.
~*~*~
She ran back through the staff entrance, down a series of corridors. This was an alternative route for the staff to get to and from their rooms without being disturbed, as the students did not know about it.
She saw Snape’s retreating form turning around a corner and rushed forward to catch up with him. As she rounded the corner she slammed into something solid and fell back against the wall.
Snape was standing right in front of her, arms folded and face like thunder.
“What I fail to understand Miss Granger, is why the Headmaster would think it necessary to put the two of us in the same building together again, let alone the same room, unless he is trying to defeat Voldemort by starting another war”
Hermione pushed herself away from the wall, anger rising \"I don’t know professor, maybe you should ask him, and for your information, I am as angry about this as you are”
“Are you trying to tell me you had nothing to do with this, because I find that very hard to believe, given your track record for getting into trouble and meddling in things that don’t concern you”?
“How dare you\" She said quietly “Need I remind you that I am not one of your students any more, to be terrorised and bullied. I am an adult and a member of magical law enforcement, here to do a job and so help me if you try and make this difficult for me..”
“You’ll do what exactly? Punch me in the face again, I am trembling in terror at the thought”
“Don’t push me Severus\" She said in a warning tone, slowly advancing on him
“Don’t threaten me Hermione\" He said dangerously
They both went for their wands, but before she could do anything he had his pressed to her throat and was backing her up against the wall. He leaned forwards so their faces were nearly touching.
“You forget yourself Miss Granger\" He whispered “And you certainly underestimate me, if you think you will ever get the better of me in a duel”
They were both glaring at each other, and after a moment Hermione spoke “I thoroughly disapprove of duels”
She said, calmly \"If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him”
He started, looking at her in shock as if seeing her for the first time
“Mark Twain\" She said seeing his expression “A muggle writer, I think he had the right idea, don‘t you?”
Snape withdrew his wand from her throat
“I will meet you in your office at 8.00 in the morning\" she said conversationally as though she hadn’t just had his wand tip pointed at her throat “To go over the lesson plans”
And with that she turned and walked back the way she had come, leaving a very confused professor standing in the corridor wondering what the hell had just happened.
