🕑 Added 2025-05-09 05:18:43 +0000 UTCHe walked into the common room, his robe billowing impressively. "Good evening and welcome to Slytherin House. I am Professor Snape your head of house. I will also be your potions professor. I am a Potion Master, Medi-Wizard, and a Wardsmith. The main rule of Slytherin House is unity. That means we never show any inter-house disputes outside of here. Any disputes will be settled immediately or detention will be given. Any detention given by a professor will be doubled," Severus warned. "Our house has a history of producing many excellent potion masters, healers, and herbologists, but it also has the unfortunate history of producing the most evil, dark wizard in history." He noticed one of the first years raising his hand and nodded at him, "Yes? Please state your name and then your question."
"Randall Churcher, Sir. Are you talking about You-Know-Who, Sir?"
"That is correct, Mr. Churcher. He is a major and unfortunate blight on the history of Slytherin House and by which others will still judge us."
Another first year raised her hand and Severus nodded at her. "Melissa Greenflower and it's really not fair to judge us for something that's not our fault and we had no part in."
"That is correct, Miss Greenflower, but as ridiculous as it seems, you will be judged on that. Any bullying is forbidden within these walls and if you experience any bullying from your year mates or an upper classmen, please let me or one of your Prefects know about it and we will handle it."
Severus introduced the fifth, sixth, and seventh year Prefects. "In Slytherin House we pride ourselves on our academic standard. If your having trouble with a class, let me know and I will find someone to tutor you or I will tutor you myself. I will be meeting separately with all the newest members of Slytherin House within the next two weeks. Everybody is required to have a physical with Madam Pomfrey for the girls and myself for the boys. I will schedule the appointments and let you know the time. Also Quidditch tryouts for second year and above are this next weekend. Marcus Flint in addition to being your sixth year Prefect is also the captain so if you are interested in trying out, please give Mr. Flint your name. We need to replace a Chaser and a Beater."
Severus dismissed the children to go to their dorms. "If you happen to forget any of the rules, they are posted here on the wall next to the fireplace."
He summoned the seventh year Prefects. "I will be in the headmaster's office if you need me. You may floo me if there is an emergency of any sort."
He left and made his way to the fourth floor and knocked on the door to Lily's quarters. She opened it and asked, "Ready?"
"Yes and looking forward to it," Severus answered with a smirk.
They walked up the stairs to the seventh floor and gave the password, Mars Bars to the Gargoyle who obligingly moved aside. Severus knocked on the door.
Albus looked up from his desk and saw Severus Snape and Lily Evans over the door. "Come in," he called while wondering what they wanted.
Lily stormed into the office. "How dare you tell Potter and Black that Harry is going to be the next dark wizard?"
"And with Marcus Flint as his right-hand man," Severus added.
"Now Lily, calm down. They must have misunderstood what I said," Albus lied. He was hoping to avoid having his bum set on fire again.
"And you're a liar, Albus," Lily replied accusingly. 'Acclaro Falso!' She did it non-verbal with a hidden twist of her wand.
"I am going to be extra vigilant this year Headmaster," Severus warned. "If you try anything with Harry or any of my House; I will have you before the Board faster than you can say Accio." He turned to leave.
"That goes double for me, Albus. You mess with Harry; you mess with me." Lily said before following Severus out of the office.
Once they were outside of the office, Severus grinned and cast the Muffliato Spell. "Alright, out with it, Lily. How did you hex him and I know you did."
"I just made the punishment fit the crime is all, Sev. He's a liar and when he wakes up tomorrow, his nose will prove that. It a hex I invented while I was pregnant with Harry. I call it the Pinocchio Hex. Every time he tells a lie tomorrow, his nose will get longer."
"Fantastic!" Severus said. "I am willing to bet we will not see him at all tomorrow."
"Maybe longer," Lily said as they walked back to her quarters. "I'm not sure how long it lasts if you don't cast the counter."
"However long it lasts he will deserve every moment of it. Maybe it will make him realize how often he actually does lie."
Lily snorted. "He'll claim that he doesn't lie, he merely dissembles."
"What is the difference?" Severus replied. They reached Lily's quarters and he said goodnight. "I will see you at breakfast tomorrow."
"Okay, Sev," she replied and waved.
He returned to the dungeons after strolling through the second floor past the second-floor girl's bathroom from which Moaning Myrtle's wails issued. He shook his head. He was not going to go in and find out what had upset Myrtle now. He had already made that mistake as a student his first year. He however did see something strange. A line of spiders was crossing the hallway and leaving through a small hole in the window. Severus shook his head and made a mental note to tell Mr. Filch so he could get it fixed before the cold weather set in.
