#pro hogwarts staff

Okay i know it's stalled, but is Tea With Friends as wholesome as it sounds or is it sad tea time? (or literally no tea at all figuratively and literally)

Tea with friends is a Pro Snape and Pro Hogwarts Staff fic. Semi-Crititcal Lupin tho.

For @random-emerald-thoughts <3.

So it takes place in Harry's third year because of Lupin and damn did Severus need to have a good time.

So he gets a note from his two Friends Walt Strickler (trollhunters) and Loki, the God of Mischief himself (Marvel version) to have tea.

Severus is delighted as only Snape can be, which is full of sarcasm.

When the Hogwarts Staff invites Severus during a Hogsmede Weekend, he blows them off thinking they are only inviting him because they pity him. So when he says he already has plans with his friends, they are upset because you do not work 9 months a year for 12/13 years without being friends with someone even someone as anti-social as Snape.

Severus believes they don't actually like him, when they do (i will die on the hill that Dumbledore was shortsighted in his plan in book 6 and I'm ok with that because he may have solidified his position with voldemort but cost him the safety and protection of the staff..HIS FRIENDS).

Lupin doesn't get why Filius is put out when Severus refuses a chess match in the staff room only citing he is meeting with his friend in hogsemde since he does not have to chaperone this week.

Lupin doesn't get why Pomona is upset when she asks Severus to help her in her greenhouse and he declines stating he was busy with Odinson, that to ask Filus this time.

Like its a series of severus not realizing his coworkers are his friends and lupin being confused and kind of lupin about the whole thing until minerva says that they liked him and worry about him genuinely because again they are friends.

Lupin isn't bad, he's just dismissive of severus and thinking like he does that the only reason that the staff invite him is because they have to.

They don't. They never invite Sybill to anything.

Snape is definitely that one person who just drops the most unhinged traumatic lore randomly in conversations as if they were normal things

Like one time he and Rolanda Hooch ended up making face ice baths to see who'd last longer and he won (no small feat because a picture Rolanda Hooch is under the dictionary definitions of competitive and stubborn) and he casually went "yeah, it was easy, my old man sometimes held me under water if there was enough rain in the buckets under the holes in the ceiling when he was mad at me" and everyone else was like "wait what the fuck did you just say??!" and he just. continued to ask what was for lunch

Or the time poppy Pomfrey got mad because he had burns on his hand and didn't bother telling her and he was like "it's nothing, my old man would sometimes stub his cigarettes out on me" and she just stared at him because what do you even say to that?!

Or when he refuses to go out if the others are planning to drink because "I've had my fill of dealing with pissed adults, I'm not risking a broken rib because one of you decided to throw a bottle at me" and they're like "h-how do you even think that, what the fuck happened to you?"

Headcanon; Every August 31st, the entire staff of Hogwarts gathers at the Three Broomsticks for a night out before the school year starts the next day. Without fail, they always get entirely sloshed. Severus always makes sure to brew an extra large batch of hangover cure potion to sort everyone out the next day.

If Snape was going to start regularly wearing any ONE color other than black, what would it be? :)

1. omg you JUST liked my post asking ppl to send me asks 2 seconds ago 😭 I appreciate that <33 2. I’d say either green or grey, grey cuz it’s the closest thing to black and green cuz it’s totally his favourite colour (not for the reasons Harry might think 🤭)

My personal favorite Snape ships: Voldemort, Sirius Black, Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy, basically any Death Eater

Ships I personally don’t like: Remus Lupin, James Potter, Lily Evans, Hermione Granger (mostly because Romionie is the only ship i see her in), All Hogwarts staff (they’re family in my head)

Last Christmas

Author: Anonymous

Warnings: brief mention of theoretical amputation

Today's first fic is from a new author who has chosen to remain anonymous for now but has gifted us with a fascinating window into the relationship between Dumbledore and Snape. ______________________________

He wanted time off from the brats but a week away from the castle meant a week of Pettigrew, which was somehow worse. The man was so odious he made even bullying him feel like a chore. Besides, the Dark Lord had told him to remain at Hogwarts.

He had endured the Christmas dinner, barely. Albus' high spirits were genuine, but the Christmas cheer among the other staff felt forced, and it had rubbed off on everyone else, with the exception of Hagrid, who was too thick to notice.

The Fenwick siblings had huddled together at one end of the table, faces pinched with worry. Filius had been talking about it in the staff room last week: their mother had been attacked for publishing a pro-muggle pamphlet. Yes, he'd thought, mother in St Mungo's and I know who put her there, and then: father in the ground these past 16 years, and I know who put him there too.

In the staff room after lunch he'd lost at chess to Minerva twice, beat Albus once, then provoked an argument with Pomona about alihotsy cultivation before getting bored when he realised she was drunk.

(Severus abhorred drunkenness. He hadn't been drunk since his teenage years, and even then the loss of control had terrified him.)

He'd left rudely when Hagrid returned from the Hog's Head, and prowled the castle, hoping to find some miscreant child naïve enough to think he wouldn't deduct house points on Christmas Day.

And now it was late, and he was in Albus' office. The snow was thicker than before, with great clods landing on the window pane. He sat on a window seat, leaning against the glass while Albus fussed about pouring drinks.

"I'm to drink with you until you become sentimental and tell me what you're teaching Potter" he said.

"I fear I can only comply with only half of that instruction" said Albus, his eyes glinting with amusement.

"In fact, I must confess to being a little sentimental already. It is, after all, my last Christmas."

At this Severus scowled, and then, looking into his drink said "I still think if I took it off above the elbow it might stop the spread, at least in the short term —"

But Albus raised both hands to silence him.

"Severus" he said, quite gently "you know how this must play out. I made my choice, and now nor you nor I nor anyone else can stop that which must surely come."

Severus grunted in begrudging acquiescence and they both drank in silence, before Albus resumed.

"Talking of those who have tasks - how is the Malfoy boy?"

"The little idiot won't speak to me. Caught him trying to gatecrash Horace's awful do at the end of term, but for what purpose I've no idea."

"Surely he realises the instruction to assassinate me is a punishment?"

"Yes. But - I cannot reach him. He's too stubborn to change, too proud to ask for help, and too spoilt to think he might fail. In short, he's too like his father."

He saw amusement flit across Albus' face.

"What?"

"You'll not thank me for saying it, but save for the name you could have been describing Harry."

Somewhat disbelievingly, he said "You bring up Potter, to me, on Christmas day?!"

"My apologies, Severus" said Albus meekly, but there was an infuriating twinkle in his eye.

Severus turned his glass in his hand. It was crystal, a beautiful piece of craftsmanship. He wondered how it would feel to throw it into the fire.

"Well. Draco does not trust me. And that may be the undoing of us all."

"Oh, come now Severus. I doubt very much that I will meet my death at the hand of Draco Malfoy. In fact, I think I will go so far as to say I would not permit that to happen."

"Of course: only I will be permitted that great honour" said Severus, with heavy sarcasm and not a small amount of bitterness.

Albus did not answer for a long time, and when he did it was slowly, as if feeling for the next step down a dark staircase.

"I know I ask much of many, but of none more than you... except perhaps the boy. It is a cold, cold game we play, and this war will not be won by doing what is kind, but what is needful. I wish it were otherwise. I don't underestimate the pain I must put you through next year, when the Order is turned against you."

Severus rolled his eyes. "What pain? Everyone hates me already."

Albus looked at him seriously, one of his piercing looks, head tilted to one side.

"It is worth putting some thought now into managing your relationships with the rest of the staff once I am gone. Minerva will be angry and defiant, Pomona confused and hurt -"

"- Filius will focus primarily on the welfare of his house, Horace will be frightened and therefore obsequious, Trelawney will drink even more than usual, Hooch and Vector will resign, or more likely flee the country, Pomfrey will carry on as if nothing has happened. At some point Minerva, egged on by Hagrid, will come up with a plot to kill me. If she brings Filius into the loop he will talk her out of it, arguing that it's better to have me, a known and therefore manageable opponent, rather than whichever Death Eater the Dark Lord would see fit to replace me with. Pomona will agree with him, and argue that we should try to appeal to my better nature, but her true motivation will be fear rather than any real conviction."

"Astute as ever, Severus" said Albus. He seemed mollified, although Severus had no doubt that they would revisit this topic again and again until Albus was satisfied.

As their conversation turned to lighter topics, he wondered for the thousandth time if Albus trusted him. He wondered if he trusted Albus, and concluded he trusted him more than anyone else alive, although admittedly that meant very little.

Finally, a gold clock balanced on a bookshelf chimed. Severus had no idea why, as by his watch it was twenty three minutes to one in the morning, but Albus seemed to consider this was time for bed.

"Merry Christmas Severus, my friend", he said. For an awful moment he thought Albus was going to try and hug him, but he just stood there, smiling slightly in his ridiculous glittering Christmas robes.

Severus would usually make some sort of sarcastic comment on his way out, but an honest impulse made him say "Merry Christmas to you too, Albus".

He rarely used the Headmaster's name, and he saw a flash of emotion cross his face before Albus dismissed him with a nod.

He closed the door of study behind him. It was his last Christmas too, in any sense that mattered. For so long his life at Hogwarts had seemed never-ending, the cycle of the school years as repetitive as the long spiral staircase he now descended. But all that had seemed endless would soon be ending. Next year, if all went to plan, he would be Headmaster of Hogwarts, the Dark Lord's favoured servant, and a traitor and a murderer in the eyes of those he fought for. The only man who understood him at all would be dead, and at his hand.

If all did not go to plan, he would most likely be dead too.

Outside, the snow fell steadily and hard, obscuring all that lay below. 

[x-authorship-x]

Not me reading about the whole Kisame-Shisui thing "He's from Konoha but he's so Kiri"/"He's from Kiri but he's so Konohan" and imagining some sort of Hogwarts AU where Shisui is in Hufflepuff and Kisame in Slytherin and they become friends almost by accident and after a while Shisui starts seeing so much loyalty and sense of justice (the whole Kisame thing is that he values truth above almost everything else, I mean...) usually associated with Hufflepuff in Kisame while Kisame starts seeing a more ambitious and resourcefulness side of Shisui that is usually associated with Slytherin

(And also ofc Slytherin/Hufflepuff always makes the best pairing, both platonic and romantic)

Actually perfection, Anon 🤩

You just KNOW shisui is the school sweetheart and popular, seeker on the team since his very first year, and everyone is so sure that butter wouldn't melt in his mouth

Kisame is gruff and he had a very premature growth spurt and he's not very chatty, he demolishes the field in quidditch (beater paired with Zabuza) and students basically scrabble out of his way in corridors

And then kisame finds himself paired with shisui in a group protect in their DADA OWL/5th year class, identifying curses on an artefact as half of their final project's grade, and-

Shisui isn't some angel. He knows far too much about casting dark magic, he manipulates the staff like a pro, there's a devilish gleam in his eyes and his famous dimpled grin can tug into a devastating smirk. He is alarmingly ambitious and resourceful.

Kisame isn't a monster. He is diligent with his work and sensitive to those around him as well as with magic, he has a strong moral compass and a spine of steel, his fierce gaze can soften with fondness and his mouth can quirk with amusement. He is disarmingly truthful and loyal.

😩❤️✨

You've painted such a good mental image, Anon, this was lovely!

Jackson and Matilda, please?

Hogwarts's Deputy Headmistress actually knew of Jackson long before his other professors. As Deputy Headmistress, it was her responsibility to write to all those students who the Book of Admittance had chosen to attend Hogwarts each year, and one of those such students was Jackson. You can imagine Matilda Weasley's shock and concern when -- after sending Jackson's letter to the address on file for Cassandra Knightly -- she received a letter back from Cassandra's father, Everard Knightly, explaining that his grandson had been kidnapped by his Muggle father the previous year and taken to places unknown. Matilda followed up with the Ministry of Magic about this, and sure enough, a case file had been opened, but with no further leads, it had gone cold and there was no indication of where poor Jackson might be. Matilda was heartbroken by the news and actually sent several letters to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement over the next two years, pressuring them to keep looking for Jackson, just as Everard had been. Fortunately, after nearly three years of separation from his mother, twelve-year-old Jackson was discovered in New York City thanks to the efforts of one Adelia Selwyn @thatravenpuffwitch and the MACUSA. Matilda was very relieved by the news, and quickly set about preparing the new arrival to start his second year at Hogwarts.

One could argue Matilda Weasley was predisposed to like Jackson from the offset, just because of everything he'd suffered through prior to getting to school, but this isn't wholly true. Jackson just turned out to be a rather amiable, charming boy -- upon first meeting Matilda Weasley at the Knightly estate before he started at Hogwarts, Jackson immediately bowed to her, offered to take her cloak, and even brewed up a pot of tea for her, his mother, his grandfather, and himself, without any prompting. Matilda was also both startled and awed when Jackson ended up moving the furniture around the room and even conjuring a white rose out of thin air for his mother, all without a wand. Matilda was quick to caution Jackson about using wandless magic, given the risk of becoming an Obscurus -- a warning she'd have to give him several more times in his school career -- but she could already see that this young man had extraordinary magical talent, especially for her own subject, Transfiguration. When Jackson started at school officially, he soon became one of Matilda's most gifted students, acing just about every Transfiguration assignment he was ever given. Matilda would've probably sung Jackson's praises as a student if it weren't also for him constantly breaking school rules. Sneaking into Hogsmeade; exploring forbidden corridors; breaking into the Headmaster's Office and the Restricted Section; finding dangerous creatures in the Forbidden Forest; sparking duels in the corridors -- Matilda quite frequently arranged for Jackson to serve his detentions with her, just so she could make sure the other professors (like his Head of House, Abraham Ronen) wouldn't go too easy on him and she could bend his ear off about him squandering his potential and defying authority just because he thought he could get away with it.

As Jackson grew older, though, he grew a little wiser and more responsible, to the point that he decided he wanted to go into politics, to make a real difference in the world. Matilda was very encouraged to hear that Jackson hd earned a place on the Minister's support staff while still a young adult and was even more pleased when Jackson became Minister for Magic. She even attended Jackson and Monty's wedding at the Knightly estate. The two did end up having something of a falling-out, though, when Jackson made the decision to actively keep the British Wizarding World out of World War I -- the Weasleys in general, being both so strongly pro-Muggle-rights and unafraid of conflict or battle, were all vocally opposed to the decision, and Matilda was no exception. She even condemned Jackson in a letter at one point, saying that she would never have imagined he could be so blinded by the fears of his past that he'd place a higher value on the Statute of Secrecy than on his constituents' families' lives. After Grindelwald's rise to power, however, Jackson earned back Matilda's favor when he publicly, candidly, and passionately rebuked Grindelwald and his ideals, regardless of anyone else's opinions on the matter. The now elderly retired professor even Transfigured a letter into a paper owl to ensure it reached Jackson at the Ministry, in which she applauded his courage and admitted that she'd always admired how Jackson had never allowed his father's cruelty to blind him with hatred toward all Mugglekind, let alone the world and Fate overall. Later that decade, Jackson was one of many attendees to Matilda Weasley's funeral, and when asked to speak, spoke very fondly of his ex-professor --

"In some ways at school, she was very much like what I've heard many mothers are, for their children. I do very much love my own mother -- but Professor Weasley tried so very hard to try to 'keep me in line,' back then, as it were. And yet, even then, it was like I was doing a high-wire act for her, while doing it -- performing in front of the whole world, showcasing my potential for everyone to see and towering higher than I ever could've, if she hadn't kept me walking that straight and narrow wire. ...I am grateful, truly grateful, that I got to know such a talented witch...a brilliant professor...and a remarkable woman. So let us, when next we enjoy our favorite drink, surrounded by those who push us to be better with their mere presence...take a moment to toast our dearly departed professor. To Matilda Weasley."

Hi I saw that your ask box was empty, so I wanted to fill it! So, it would be fun to see how Severus would react as Dumbledore (or Minerva) forces him to take a picture with the whole staff ( as a class photo but with the staff) ( sorry for my English, french is my first language :( ) Ps: I love your blog, it's always delight to read you.

[Hello fellow French speaker! Thank you so much for your kind words <3]

"So I thought it would be a wonderful idea, something to do every year! All of you in your best robes - and I - and we would have a memory for every year that goes by."

Severus looked over his shoulder, raising an eyebrow. He had not meant to be listening to Albus, in all fairness he had just came in the staffroom for some coffee; but the man made it hard to not hear him, he was speaking loudly and gesturing toward a camera on a tripod next to him.

"Well, I see no objection to make, Albus," Minerva replied, stiring her tea with a silver spoon. "I must confess I thought this project of yours would be more dangerous. Or silly. I don't know. Are you sure it doesn't involve having to dress up all in purple, or -"

"I promise, Minerva. Just our best robes. Well we could also make funny faces but only if - fine, we won't make funny faces."

"Sometimes, Albus, I wonder if you really are the oldest person in this school. You really should try to make friends with the students instead", Minerva sighed affectionately.

Severus took a few steps in their direction, taking a sip of his coffee as he waited for one of them to acknowledge his presence.

"Ah, my dear boy," Albus exclaimed in delight, "come and sit with us. I was discussing something fairly amusing with Minerva."

"I'm thrilled", the Potions Master replied unenthusiastically, sitting graciously next to Minerva after dusting off his sit.

"He wants us to take a group photograph", Minerva summed up for him before Albus could open his mouth. "Please say yes, Severus, or he'll come back with a more eccentric idea."

"You are hurting my feelings, my dear," the headmaster replied teasingly. "I heard this is a tradition for muggle students at the end of each year", he then told Severus, "did you know that? So I thought, why not do it here, with the staff?"

"Of course I know about this, headmaster. I spent nine years in muggle school. I do not see why you find it so exciting, however. It's just a picture."

"But I never did it! I really want this picture in the staff room", Albus argued. "Beside, I already brought the material. I was thinking about... Doing it this evening?"

Minerva rolled her eyes.

"As if you were asking for our opinion anyway."

"But I am! Right now", the old man said in an angelic tone, turning to Severus. The Potions Master was looking at Minerva.

"I've been working here for eight years and I really don't know how I'll make it to another year", he said casually. "What's your secret?"

"Relativism. He's had many worse ideas", she replied, putting back her tea cup onto the table. "Now, I need to find my best red dress, if you don't mind. At least I'll honor my house if we have to do this."

A few hours later, they were all gathered in the school's entrance, waiting impatiently as Albus was frenetically looking for the right buttons to press. Minerva had made Severus promise to wear his best green robes, the ones he liked to wear at Quidditch finals, which he had reluctantly agreed upon; after all, the quicker they were to accept, the quicker it would be finished.

"Why will you not use your wand, headmaster?" Pomona asked, dancing on her feet. "I have mandrakes waiting for me back in the greenhouse."

"It is a muggle camera, my friends", Albus replied, nearly breaking it by pushing too hard on what was in fact the lens." They don't make a package insert for wizards, unfortunately."

"Can't you help him, Minerva? Your father was a muggle", Filius said, looking interestingly as a light turned on on the front of the camera.

"We didn't have this kind of things in the forties", she replied categorically.

"It's obviously the screen you're supposed to look at, headmaster", the muggle studies professor muttered, looking below the camera. Did you charge the batteries?"

"Did I what?" Albus demanded, clearly lost.

"It's not because I teach about muggles that I'm an expert in technology!" he protested, frowning at his laughing colleagues. "This is a professional camera, nothing I ever dealt with."

It was an Olympus.

"Let me do it", Severus intervened to everyone's surprise. Surely taking a picture could not be so hard?

He looked over the object, silent for a few seconds.

"See, the screen brightness was at minimum level. Now you just have to adjust this - like this - and press here - this is how you take the focus off the wall", he explained to them both. "Fine. Now, we have 15 seconds to wait until the picture is taken..."

As they all gathered in front of the stairs, Minerva leaned toward Severus.

"I thought you knew nothing about muggles."

"Do I have to remind you how many Weasleys I teach? If their father knew this, he'd send me fan mail every damn day. You don't imagine how thrilled he was when he learned I had talked about matches."

Minerva smirked.

"Of course. Now smile or I'll tell him myself."

"I should just stop talking to you", Severus muttered grumpily.

"If Severus doesn't smile on this one, I'll be the one taking the next picture!" Albus said out loud from behind Severus' back, smiling at Minerva.

There was a general sound of exasperated sighing and impatience - Severus rolled his eyes.

"Fine", he said in defeat.

"Say 'Cheese'!" Poppy exclaimed, remembering her nephews' family pictures.

"Cheese!" Albus shouted happily, watching his youngest teacher closely. Severus tried.
