Slytherins aren't evil. Not always.

10.- The Teacher's Squad

I slowly walked backwards and then, faster than I ever had, cast a stunner on Quirrell.

And then we just ran. When I turned I saw him already shaking it off. We bolted into the vague direction of the Great Hall. When Blaise suddenly stopped, panting, I turned and saw the horror in his eyes.

"You- you knew who that was? I mean Quirrell, I- I mean.. not-Quirrell?"

"I think so" I said. Severus had only ever served one person. He'd been a Death Eater a long time ago.

"We need to get Dumbledore. Quick!" We started running again, the air already burning in my lungs (A/N Do Hogwarts students even work out?). When we raced around the next corner we saw a small group of teachers standing in front of the girl's restrooms. Professor Flitwick, Minerva and ... Severus was just arriving. Thank god. How did he get away from him so fast?

The teachers hadn't noticed us yet and were apparently busied by something different: a dirty, shaking and obviously traumatized Hermione Granger stepped out of the restroom's door in that exact moment. Behind her were Ron Weasley and, to complete the squad, Harry Potter, both in the same state as her. No, wait, they definitely looked worse. Ron was clutching his wand tightly, shaking fingers, and Harry... Is that snot on his cloak? How the f.....

"What happened?" Their heads turned at Blaise's call and Minerva started speaking: "Mr. Zambini, Miss Eastwood! Shouldn't you be in the Great Hall with the others?"

"We- we're sorry, Professor, but...", I saw Snape subtly shaking his head, "uhm, a head student was hurt... we were just- just looking for Professor Snape. That was... maybe not the best idea right now."

"It really wasn't. Why would you send two first-graders looking for him if the whole Slytherin house was there?" Mom's voice sounded stern, but also worried: "The troll could've attacked you."

Blaise lowered his head in abjection: "We're so sorry, Professor. It's  not going to happen again."

Minerva examined us appraisingly: "Separate detention for both of you, I would say."  Snape finally intervened now: "I think, Minerva, that the punishment of those two of my students should be falling to me."

"Fine. So you two", she glared at us,"will go to the Great Hall and sleep. If I will see you out here after curfew ever again there will be an imposition."  With a short nod and a quick glare at Severus we went back to the Hall. On the way we didn't say anything at all.

Was that really him under Quirrells absurd turban? It had been pretty obvious that Severus was was in pain; was he wounded?

But most important, if he, he who everyone had thought was dead, really was back, what would happen?

A/N our updates are irregular af I'm sorry
Also why do I ship Snape&Errol as a #brotp? They don't know each other but idk it's cute
