"Merlin, did Snape just ...?" Fred got no further as his brother put his hand over his mouth.
“Didn't you hear what he said? No questions for the little one. I really don't feel like being detained right now. "
the other lions nodded.
Neville turned to Harry.
“But he seems to really like you. Quite the opposite of the feelings he has towards the principal. ”The boy pointed in the direction of the teachers.
immediately all eyes were directed forward to the staff table.

Severus had stormed forward in his patented bad mood. He was well aware of the looks of most of the students. and when he finished with the old man everyone would surely stare at him. However, there would probably be no rumors this time. And Severus hated that fact because it was only the Dementors to blame.
the teacher nodded to his colleagues and stopped in front of his boss.
"Hello Severus my boy. And how were the holidays? You've been in the papers a lot. I liked the picture best where little Harry was hiding under your cloak. "
Severus crossed his arms over his chest and stared down at the man, as he normally only did with first years or Longbottoms.
"Are you finished now?"
"But Severus, you won't still be mad because I ordered you to watch out?"
“No, I'm angry about something completely different. I don't know if you've noticed, but your students are very upset today. And that's what these monsters are to blame that attacked the train. "
The director nodded sadly.
“I know, believe me, I certainly didn't mean to. but Crouch left me no choice. I have to put up with the Dementors here at the school. "
Severus snorted.
“You should have refused, there are children here. And where is the train a school? I was just able to prevent these beasts from eating some of the children for dinner. "
Dumbledore looked at him grimly.
"That won't happen again."
Now the teacher could no longer hold back. he took his new hat off Dumbleodore's head and gave him a blow.
The old man looked at him, startled.
"Severus?"
"Nothing, Severus. As long as these critters are here, such attacks can happen again and again. so stop making promises here that you can't possibly keep. ”He roughly put his hat on the man's head.
Then the Potions Master sat next to Remus. He didn't care that all the students had observed this action. The children needed a cheer after today's experience.

Remus smiled grimly.
“Hello my friend, you are in good company. every teacher, with the exception of me, has already read the riot act for the man. And he also had to dodge some spells. But you probably shot the bird. "
“You should have been there. I was just barely able to prevent Longbottom and Lovegood from losing their souls. And Harry almost hit it too. He fled into his animagus form out of fear. ”The teacher growled properly.
hagrid on his other side got big eyes.
“Harry is an Animagus? What is he then? "
Severus looked at the man skeptically.
“Nothing that can defend itself great. He's a sand cat, so be careful. "
The half-giant nodded eagerly.
"That suits the boy," he said happily. The werewolf giggled.
"Probably true. How is Harry now? "
Severus sighed.
“The children want to learn the Patronus. Presumably they will beg you until you consent. "
lupine nodded.
"I thought so. I will try too. At least some should learn it so that they can protect their classmates. "
"Oh yes, Harry wants to go for a walk with us and the flea catcher tomorrow after class."
Hagrid grinned again.
“You are welcome to do that. I think Blacky misses the boy. "
Severus didn't say anything, but Remus couldn't hold back.
"I think he's longing for you too, Severus."
before the Potions Master could react adequately, the door of the great hall opened. Minerva came in with the first years.
"Merlin", it escaped the werewolf. The Potions Master just nodded grimly.

usually all the new students were excited, whispering, and looking around the great hall. Not this year, the children were absolutely calm and huddled close together. the encounter with the soul eater was still in their bones.
Without a long preamble, McGonagall quickly began sorting them. The song of the hat was very cheerful this time. the old scrap of cloth probably also wanted to cheer up the children. The distribution to the houses was also very quick.
Then the director rose.
“Hello my dear students. I would like to give you all a warm welcome to a new year. a few words to our newcomers. The forbidden forest is not called that for nothing, please stay away from it. Our caretaker also gave me a list of prohibited items. It is forbidden to paint yourself wall paints. and especially play mice. As always, you can read the rest of the prohibitions on the list in the houses.
Something else important. A dangerous criminal has fled Azkaban. The Ministry has sent dementors to protect you. "
