My Naughty Minx | Severus Snape X Professor

Chapter 1: Unbreakable Vow

Today was the day I would find out if I had gotten the position for Defense Against the Dark Arts. I didn't know why I even tried getting into this position. Every year I keep trying to get into this position and I end up failing. I didn't want to back down on what I wanted. I have done that too many times in the past. There was no way that Albus would give this position to another wanker.

This year would be much better than in the past. Albus needed to watch who he hired. Especially when we almost lose professors when Umbridge was here.

I knew why I wanted the position and it was not a positive one. Anyone that takes this position is bound to end up dead. How do I know this you ask? Well, I am a death eater and have been since I was in my early 20s. To think that Tom Riddle, he who must not be named, tried to go after this position and failed. Ultimately, cursing the position for all to come. This was my chance to end it all. Albus knew this and kept me from ending it all.

"Severus," Albus cocked an eyebrow, "Are you listening to me?"

I nodded, "Yes headmaster."

We were in his office discussing the next year and what is to come. All the other professors had left our mini-meeting. It was just myself and Albus. Today was the day.

"Well," Albus smiled, "I think you'll be happy to hear that I did not hire a dunderhead this year for Defense Against the Dark Arts."

"Oh really?"

Keep calm Severus. The old man has tricks up his sleeve and you can't be too excited.

"I have decided to give you the position, Severus."

"Really?" I asked, "you aren't pulling my leg are you?"

He shook his head, no, "You have earned it and I know that you will do much better than anyone else I could hire."

I nodded, "A lot of wankers you have hired the past couple of years."

He nodded, "Well last year wasn't my decision."

"True," I said in a monotone voice as usual, "who is taking over the potion's position?"

Curiosity killed the cat.

Why am I being so nosy?

I couldn't let my brilliance of potions go to some random person that would mess it all up.

"Do you remember a Phoenix Nightshade?"

"I don't," I said scratching my head.

Phoenix Nightshade. Phoenix Nightshade.

"She used to be a student here," Albus said.

"What year did she graduate?"

"1988," Albus said.

I had begun teaching at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1981.

"I don't remember her," I said.

"She was a bright young witch if I remember," he said, "You must've been around the age of twenty-eight or twenty-nine."

"What are you getting at?" I asked Albus.

"You two might find things in common," Albus smiled.

"What would I have in common with someone that is ten years younger than me?"

"You have things in common with me," Albus said, "and I am seventy-nine years older than you."

I nodded, "Just give it a chance," Albus said, "you may gain another friend."
