The Meeting of James S. Potter and Severus Snape
Snape sat boredly in his portrait in the Headmaster's Office. He had been asleep when McGonagall had come storming into her office, followed closely by two Gryffindor students. Snape didn't bother to open his eyes and see who they were; he just sat there and listen to McGonagall steam.
"Now!" she shouted briskly. "You two, stay here, and I will inform Professor Longbottom to speak with you, as he is the head of your house."
Snape heard McGonagall leave the room, leaving the two boys behind her.
"James, what was that all about? Why did you punch Reg?" one of the boys asked.
"He was making fun of Lily!" The boy called James whined. That caught Snape's attention; James and Lily? Quietly, he squinted one of his eyes open.
He inaudibly gasped; it was impossible! There was no way...but it was! James Potter and another Gryffindor were sitting in chairs in front of McGonagall's desk. Snape sat straight up in his portrait, and waited for the boys to continue.
"How was he making fun of Lily?" James's friend ask.
"He called her a...well, I'm not gonna say it, in case some of the portraits are snooping...but I will not listen to some slimy Slytherin blather on and on to see how many insults he can come up with against my sister." James said casually.
"But OI! It was so good to see you tell that stupid idiot who's boss, James! Whatever punishment you get, it was worth it!"
"Who are you?"
It took Snape a moment to realize that James Potter was addressing him. He looked down disdainfully, and said, "Severus Snape."
"Ah! Me dad's told me loads about you." James said, Snape having his full attention.
"Who's your father?" Snape asked, though he was pretty sure he knew.
"Harry. Harry Potter? You knew him, I reckon?" James said.
"I knew him." Snape said indifferently. He looked to James's friend, who looked significantly older than him.
The boy - noticing Snape's stare - said, "Lupin. My name's Lupin. Well, really it's Teddy, but my friends call me Lupin."
Snape snorted. Ironic...Lupin and Potter in the Headmaster's Office two generations later...ah!
"And why - Mr. Potter - are you in McGonagall's Office?" Snape asked.
"Some stupid Slytherin was calling my sister, Lily, names, and I punched him." James said, shrugging.
"Socked him good, too." Teddy laughed. "Bloodied his nose up so bad he had to go to Poppy."
Snape snorted. "You're on a first name basis with Madame Pomfrey?"
"Well," James explained. "We're there so often, we're practically best friends."
Snape watched as McGonagall came back into the room, Neville Longbottom following her. He looked sternly at Teddy and James for a moment, but the minute McGonagall wasn't looking, Neville smiled at the two Gryffindors. They beamed, and Neville led them from the office.
"Oh, and Potter?" Snape said.
"Yeah?" James asked, turning around.
"I would have done the same thing."
James smiled, and Neville led them out of the room. McGonagall looked up, and gave the portrait a knowing smile.
Severus Snape was still kind of in shock - who knew that a Potter could be halfway decent?
Short, I know, but it's only a meeting;) Next is Albus Severus, but - personally - I think the meeting with Lily Luna will be most interesting...please review!
