Wandless - A Harry Potter Fanfic

Chapter 4 - Snape's Rage

"So, this is the library?" Vincent thought as he walked around the bookshelves, "it's enormous!"

The library probably can fit a house or two and still have room for more no problem. Vincent flipped through book by book trying to get a better understanding of the world. He's already heard a lot from Sister An, but it never hurts to stock up on knowledge.

"History of Goblins, Hogwarts: A History that's sounds like a must, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them sounds really cool," Vincent kept piling the books with one hand while searching with the other, "huh, Beginners Guide to Potions, potions sound like something I can do."

As he was looking at the book, a yelp came from behind just as he felt someone crash into him. The books fell out of his hands as he caught the person from falling any further.

"You ok there Hermione?" Vincent gave a wry smile recognizing the brown mess of hair

"Vincent?" Hermione looked up in surprise, Vincent saw her face go red slightly at the physical contact, so he let go of Hermione who took a step back, "what are you doing here?"

"Same thing as you, searching for books," Vincent nodded towards the books at Hermione's holding before bending down to pick his ones up

Hermione shook her head of embarrassment and placed her books to the side to help Vincent.

"Hogwarts: A History, this is my favorite book, it shows how the school came about, who made it, what kind of spells and enchantments this place uses," Hermione kept going on and on about the wonders of the book

Vincent smiles as he watched Hermione talk, whenever Hermione talks about something she loves, she changes into a different person.

Hermione stopped as she realized, she had been babbling for a while and blushed a deep red, "Sorry, I realize that I might ramble on a bit too long when it comes to books."

"Not at all," Vincent said as he started carrying his books, "I think it's nice to see you like this, it shows how knowledgeable you are."

"Thanks," Hermione gave a grateful smile as they borrowed their respective books, "so what subjects are you thinking of doing?"

"Well, I'm definitely going to do Herbology, Muggle studies is also another,"

"Why Muggle studies?" Hermione asked curiously

"I was mostly raised on the streets so most of my basic knowledge is lacking," Vincent said as they made their way back to the common room, "Oh, and Potions sounds like something I can do."

"Hmm, Potions," Hermione gave a thoughtful look

"Something wrong?" Vincent asked

"Well, truth be told, you will find a lot of people here who don't like Potions," Vincent gave a questioning look, "it's mainly due to the teacher."

"Who's the teacher?" Vincent asked

"You've met him," they both entered the Gryffindor Common Room, "his name is Professor Snape, if possible, try not to tick him off."

...

"So, you're not a vampire?"

For the first time in his life, Snape had no other wish than to murder the innocent-looking student before him. Hermione just face-palmed herself, feeling that her warning was for nothing.

"No, Mr. Wong," Snape said slowly through gritted teeth, "I am not a vampire, I am a potions master and a teacher, I could easily have you for remedial lessons—"

"So, I can have extra lessons?" Vincent asked thoughtfully

Snape was literally at his wits ends with the boy. He just stared at Vincent, "After class, visit me in my office."
