Chapter 1: A new year, the same rejection
Weeks before another year at Hogwarts was due to start, two wizards were awaiting an arrival in the Headmasters office. One wizard sat in the chair behind the desk, sporting a grin and a twinkle in his eyes. The other witch was sat in front of the desk, nervously twitching. The witch’s eyes were full of dread. The Headmaster who was the owner to the world’s most mischievous mind and also owner to the twinkling eyes started to hum absent mindedly. His deputy headmistress sat in a thoughtful silence. Another year was approaching rapidly and this mini meeting could not be put off any longer. The third member of party was late; this wasn\'t helping headmistress Minerva McGonagall\'s anxiety. Not being able to take it anymore she broke the silence and began to voice her thoughts.
\'Albus, why did you not accept his application? The Dark Lords gone, he has no reason to shy away anymore\' She asked the headmaster.
\'I keep the same reasons as I have for the last so many years; he\'ll just have to bear it\' Albus Dumbledore said, still humming along to nothing.
\'But surely he deserves the job? He\'ll get fed up before long and you know he will\' Albus didn\'t respond for a while after that. The only thing nearest to a response he gave was a wry grin.
\'Albus Dumbledore! I know that look, what are you plotting in that head of yours?\'
\'Nothing Minerva, but just bare in mind you did say Severus has no reason to shy away anymore\' Albus said and it was clear by the tone in his voice that he was up to something. Minerva was about to ask what, when the door flung open and in entered the much feared Potions Master.
Albus stood up and greeted the younger wizard, motioning him to sit down. The younger wizard did so. Before Albus started to speak, Severus took a quick glance at Minerva, who couldn\'t look him in the eye. Suddenly it dawned on him, the reason for the mini meeting. \'Great, another refusal\' he thought to himself.
\'Now Severus, the reason we, that is to say, Minerva and me\' Albus glanced at his colleague, who gave him a fixed glare \'ok well \'I\' asked you here, was to discuss your position here at Hogwarts. The Defence job is going to a young woman who is more the qualified for the job, as I still feel you\'re the only one capable of doing a good job with potions\'
No matter how Albus rephrased it through the years, the rejection of the DADA job still cut Severus deep. Severus looked at the headmaster and nodded. The office was now in a long silence. Albus took this as the cue to make his excuses and go before the aftermath came.
\'Could you two excuse me,ave ave to see a House elf about a lemon drop\' Minerva and Severus nodded as the headmaster sheepishly walked out the office. Minerva watched as Severus sat in silence, with his head in his hands. She knew he was the best man for the job and she also knew how badly he wanted the job. Removing herself off her chair, she placed a hand on his shoulder and bid him good evening.

In the staff from hours later, Minerva wasn\'t surprised to Severus was absent. News had spread like wildfire that once again he had, had his application for the Dark Arts job rejected. Conversation soon turned to who would actually be taking the job. Albus had remained hushed on it and all he would say was that she was \'technically\' a face from the past. Not one of the teachers could come close to who would be their new colleague, much to the amusement of Albus.
