I had arrived at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as I have decided to apply for the job as the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. I was ecstatic, I've been looking for a good job but with my record I had no luck... But professor Dumbledore generously offered me the job.
I pulled open the large door to be greeted by a stern looking witch "you're early" she said shooting daggers "yes... I'm sorry, my name is-" she interrupted me "yes I know dear. I am Minerva McGonagall, I teach transfiguration" she said plainly yet sweetly she gestured for me to follow her.
She showed me all the classrooms I met Filius Flitwick charms teacher, Pomona Sprout herbology teacher, Aurora Sinistra astronomy teacher, Sybil Trelawney divination teacher, and Cuthbert Binns a ghost teacher of History of Magic. We stopped at a dungeon door "this is Professor Severus snape... He can be a bit... Stern and rough with the kids... Just be warned" she then opened the door.
I remember hearing that name back when I went to school here. I walked in to see multiple cauldrons and desks, I then see a black haired man furiously scribbling something down quickly. His quill swung back and forth "Severus this is the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher" she said coldly. He didn't look up he was engulfed in writing down on the scroll. "Her name is (F/N) (L/N)..." He then stopped he set the quill down and looked up.
"Oh... Yes hello" he said awkwardly standing I shook his hand lightly I can't really remember much about him at all... He was very attractive "well... This was a nice visit but I have to get back to work" he said harshly sitting back down Minerva and I turned to leave. " breakfast is starting in 10 minutes, Severus" Minerva said behind her back she got a grunt as a response. We walked up some stairs and towards the main entrance.
"He's a bit cold..." I said as Minerva turned to speak to me "yes... You'll get used to him after a while... Come now, the children will start arriving" we went into the great hall. It was huge the ceiling above was wide and arched revealing what the weather was outside 4 long tables sat in rows according to houses.
Towards the front was the staff table she led me towards the large extravagant table " you'll sit here next to Severus and Hagrid... " she said turning to leave "Minerva!" I called to her as she began walking she turned around "thank you!" I said happily she smiled then turned once again and walked out the door going to greet the students.
I sat down in my seat as the great hall began filling with students, teachers also. A dark figure gloomily walked behind me and pulled out the chair next to me I looked up to see Professor Snape. "Hello Professor Snape" I greeted him warmly.
He looked very unamused "how long have you been teaching?" I asked awkwardly "long enough Miss (L/N)..." He said glaring at me then a big man with a bushy beard sat down next to me. "Ye' be that new teacher eh?" He said I nodded my head slowly he chuckled loudly "grea' ter meet ya! I'm 'Agrid!" He said welcomingly Snape stared deadly at Hagrid
Then we heard a loud voice echo through the large hall " welcome back! we will start with the sorting then we will feast!" He said happily Minerva got things ready for the sorting and it began " (F/N).. Haven't seen you in years..." Snape half whispered to me " professor I mean no disrespect... But I can't quite remember you..." I said shyly watching 1st years getting sorted.
"Of course you don't remember..." He said pinching the bridge of his nose "w-what?" I asked confused "nothing... Nothing... I'll explain later" he said to me. Before I knew it the sorting had ended and everyone finished eating once all the kids cleared out of the great hall I headed back to my quarters.
I put on my nightgown and stared up at the ceiling from my princess like bed I turned over to look at a painting with a stormy yet calming atmosphere to it. I began drifting off to sleep as I heard the soft pitter patter of rain against the street in the painting.
I woke up to my alarm blaring loudly I pulled the clock out of the wall furiously and sat up in my bed. I curled my (h/l) (h/c) and put on a little bit of makeup. I put on my white blouse and solid black pencil skirt I threw on a pair of heels. I walked out of my room and to my classroom I sat down and began thinking over my plans for the day... Today has to be extravagant and great "...Accio coffee!" I mumbled a cup of coffee levitated through the door.
I sat up in my chair as students started bustling through the door. I sighed loudly "good morning everyone! im professor (L/N)... Today we are going to learn about vampires!" I took off the sheet covering the large cage...
~Time skip~
The day went by surprisingly fast almost everyone today applauded me, there was 30 minutes until dinner so I decided to go see Severus. I walked down the stairs towards the dungeon avoiding the step I've been told to watch out for I knocked on the door, seconds later I came face to face with a student.
"Hello... I'm sorry for bothering you I'll just-" then a loud voice interrupted me "professor (L/N)... Come in" I opened the door and walked in towards Snape's desk. I sat ontop of his desk and crossed my legs the students were working busily on a potion. "What is it that you need Miss (L/N)?..." He asked coldly.
"Uh.. Nothing just came to see what you're doing... I'm sorry for interrupting you..." I said he glared down at me "you did no such thing- Longbottom! Start over!" Snape said and with the flick of his wrist the potion disappeared.
Snape and I talked for the rest of the class as the students began to struggle this potion was going to take 3 days. I hopped off his desk "will you be joining me for dinner?" He asked somewhat less coldly I smiled "yeah... Sure" the class ended and he began cleaning up.
"Have you heard about he-who-must-not-be-named lately?" I asked quietly "Potter would" Snape spit I looked down thinking. Potter... Where have I heard that before...
