The Lone Professor

I own nothing. It all belongs to the wonderful J.K. Rowling. This is my first attempt at writing a fan fic. I have been reading them for a while and thought I would try my hand at one. Be kind but please review. Thank you and enjoy.

4/28/05: Sorry guys I updated but only was fixing some errors. I now have a wonderful beta who is looking over my work.

Chapter 1
The Lone Professor


“Come on Harry, or we are going to miss the train,” yelled Hermione over her shoulder as she dragged her trunk out the door onto the lawns.

“Hermione I am coming, God what is the hurry, the train does not leave for another 20 minutes.” replied Harry

“I just want to get home, so I can show you a really Muggle Christmas, not the crap you got at the Dursley’s,” answered Hermione “plus I would like to get a good seat on the train.”

“Hermione you are the Head Girl, of course you are going to get a good seat. All you have to do if tell some stupid first years to move.” chuckled Ron as he caught to Harry and Hermione.

“Ron, you are impossible.” huffed Hermione

Harry, Ron, and Hermione dragged their trunks down the lawn to the carriages that would take them down to Hogsmeade to the train station. As they went they talked about what they would be doing over break.

“Mum says that we will be spending most of the time visiting with Charlie at the camp that he is staying at now.” Ron told them.

“Ron. It’s pretty cool that you get to go and spend all that time with those dragons.” Harry commented

“Do you think you will get to see Norbert?” asked Hermione

“I hope not, by now he is a full grown dragon. And last I saw him he bite me. I can only imagine what he would do to me now.” Ron responded.

The trio reached the carriages as it started to snow. “Hey look it’s Snape.” said Harry.

Ron and Hermione looked where Harry was pointing. There was Snape looking angrily at a group of second years that were having a snowball fight. The second years stopped dead in their tracks as they saw him coming. Snape glared at them, and they took off running across the lawn. Just then Snape looked up as if he felt someone watching him. His eyes fell upon the trio. Hermione could feel his glare even from across the lawn. He looked at them for another moment or two before he swirled his cloak around him and marched up the lawn towards the castle.

“What is with him?!? He can’t let anyone be happy, can he?” flumed Ron.

“There is more to it then that.” Hermione said more to herself then anyone else.

“Come guys, let’s get in the carriage,” said Harry.

The three walked to the nearest carriage and stored their trunks. Once they climbed in,
Harry and Ron instantly started talking about Quidditch, and Hermione tuned them out, as she always did when the topic of Quidditch came up. Hermione was thinking of that dark lone figure making his way back up to the castle. Would he spend the holiday all alone? Or did he have a family to go home to? She hoped he did. She did not know why, but the thought of Professor Snape spending the holidays alone made her sad deep inside of her heart.

Meanwhile, while heading up towards the castle the lone figure of Professor Snape sighed deeply. “Another semester over, and four whole weeks without students. Maybe now I will actually get some work done.” A smirked played across his face.

However, the lone Professor knew that he would be spending his time alone, as usual.
Although, now he was starting to think that being alone was not as wonderful as it used to be.

“Oh well,” he said to himself “no one would want to spend the holidays with me anyway.” Severus strode back into the castle and went straight to his dungeons.
