Chapter 24: New Lessons

(Y/n) had left the hospital wing and was heading down to Hagrid's hut to meet the others when he ran into Professor Snape.

"Ah Mr (L/n), just the person I was looking for" Snape said in his usual drawl.

"I didn't do it sir" (Y/n) quickly said instinctively.

Snape let out a small sigh. "You are not in trouble... yet Mr (L/n), I would just like to speak with you. In my office if you please" Snape said before turning and walking down the hall.

(Y/n) quickly followed behind Snape in silence before entering into his office.

"Now then Mr (L/n) I will be giving you private lessons this year" Snape said striding behind his desk and taking a seat.

"Private lessons? What for?" (Y/n) asked curiously.

"To help you protect yourself" Snape replied not elaborating.

"Did Dumbledore ask you to do this?" (Y/n) asked him.

"No the headmaster did not, this was a more... personal request" Snape replied mysteriously.

"Now then I would like you to report here every Saturday night at eight. Since your friend Potter has detention here tonight we will begin our first lesson now" Snape said getting back to his feet.

"Uhh okay sir" (Y/n) simply replied confused. Who had asked Snape to teach him, and why?

"I will be teaching you advanced magic, magic that most full grown wizards are unable to do, and the best struggle with" Snape said in a low voice walking out behind his desk and pacing the room.

"There will be no room for error in the real world, so make your mistakes now where they can be corrected" Snape continued.

"Your mistakes here can be fixed, your mistakes out there... could kill you" Snape stopped walking right in front of (Y/n) as he said the last three words.

Snape stuck out his hand palm upward, his fingers outstretched. "You wand please" (Y/n) reluctantly pulled his wand out of his robes and placed it into Snape's outstretched hand.

"Both of them Mr (L/n)" Snape said boredly, Richie's wand shot of out his arm into his hand and he passed that too to Snape.

Snape walked back to his desk and placed both of the wands on the desk. Snape then whipped around his own hand pointed at (Y/n) and he said "Locomotor Mortis"

(Y/n) felt his legs lock together and he swayed in place for a second before regaining his balance.

"Now your task is simple... retrieve your wand" Snape said, walking back to his desk and taking a seat.

"Sir, how?" (Y/n) said trying futilely to walk over to the desk.

"Concentrated (Y/n), focus on your task" Snape told him.

"It's impossible I don't have a wand" (Y/n) said stubbornly, still trying to move his legs.

Snape sighed, pulled his own wand out, placed it on the desk, took a few steps away before proceeding to summon his wand to his hand.

"It is not impossible (Y/n), just difficult, especially for those who lack the mind. Hopefully you have the... concentration and mind power to do it" Snape said retaking his seat behind his desk.

(Y/n) spent hours with his legs locked together thinking the incantation for the summoning charm in his head, his hand outstretched for hours, until finally his wand rolled to the end of the desk.

"I did it!" (Y/n) cried.

"Not bad (Y/n), especially for a first try, we will try again next week, practice this when you get the chance to" Snape said releasing him from the leg locking curse, and handing him his wands back.

"And remind Potter of his detention." Snape called to him as he left "he's not weaseling his way out of this one"

And with that (Y/n) left his office and headed to Hagrid's hut, where he ran into Harry, Ron and Hermione heading back to the castle.

"Where were you mate?" Ron asked him.

"Private lesson with Snape" (Y/n) explained.

"Did Dumbledore ask him to do it?" Hermione asked him.

"No surprisingly not, he said it was personal" (Y/n) said thoughtfully. "Wonder who it was"

"Yeah well how bad was it?" Harry asked darkly.

"Not bad at all, kinda fun actually, well apart from him jinxing by legs together, we were working in handless magic" he explained.

"That's really advanced stuff!" Hermione said excitedly "most full grown wizards can't even do it, he must think you have the ability to do it then" Hermione said to him smiling.

"Maybe yeah" (Y/n) said still thinking about who could've asked Snape to teach him.

The four of them walked into the great hall and towards the Gryffindor table, and they had barely sat down before Slughorn approached them.

"Harry m'boy! I was hoping to catch you earlier, how about a spot of dinner I'm my room tonight? We're having a little party, just a few rising stars I've got my eye on. Of course I would be grateful if Miss Granger and Mr (L/n) would join us as well" he said giving them a smile, and completely ignoring Ron.

"I can't come Professor" Harry said, with a touch of delight in his voice. "I've got detention with Professor Snape"

"Dear dear I was counting on you, guess I'll have to have a word with Severus, see if I can persuade him to postpone your detention. Yes I'll see you all later" Slughorn said joyously walking away.

"Fat chance" Harry said when he was out of earshot. "Snape already postponed it once for Dumbledore, he won't do it again. Especially not for Slughorn."
