Power Couple #5 (Severus Snape x Reader)
Okay, this got a little longer than I intended... Sorry about that 😅
Also, english is not my native language and I'm positive there's going to be a lot of mistakes on this chapter, so please be kind
Tagsss: @lizlil @misselsbells06
Y/N took the morning to organize everything at work before using the floo network to get to Hogwarts. Arriving at Dumbledore's office, she was immediately greeted by the old man and his mischievous smirk.
"Hello, dear!" He said offering her a hand out of the fireplace.
"Hello!" She smiled at him and took a look at the room. "It's nice to be back at Hogwarts."
"It's been a while, ahn?" She nodded in response, still looking at the room, amazed by how that school still felt like home even after all those years. “Come with me, people are waiting for you at the Great Hall for lunch before the dueling club starts.”
"Good! Let’s go.” She smiled at him again and followed him through the corridors of the castle she knew so well.
They reached the Great Hall and Y/N had to fight the urge to go straight to the Slytherin table, as she would on her school days. Instead, she continued to follow Dumbledore until they got to the Head Table.
“Okay, this is new!” She laughed taking the seat that was vacant, apparently just waiting for her. It was between Snape and Lupin.
"Sitting at the Teacher's Table?" Remus asked with a smile.
"Yeah! This side of the Great Hall is quite intimidating…"
"You get used to it eventually." He reassured her.
"Well, let's hope so!"
"Ready for the little show later on?"
"Absolutely!" She said excitedly and turned to Severus right after that. "What about you, Severus? Ready?"
Severus looked up from his plate just to see her smiling brightly at him. He couldn't exactly figure her out, and it annoyed him. How she always seemed so nice and kind to everyone... Even to him. No one was ever like that. Or at least, they would stop being so friendly after a few interactions with him. But not Y/N. She was just as sweet to him as she was on that day they first talked to each other. And, besides his confusion, he couldn't stop the little smirk that appeared on his face as he looked at her.
"I believe so, yes." Was his answer.
"Awesome!" Y/N gave him a little wink before turning her attention back to the food at the table.
Third and fifth years were gathered at the Great Hall which was free of the usual four tables and had only a dueling platform on its center. There was the class that Remus would be teaching at the current period - the third year - and, since he asked Severus to participate, his students for the period - the fifth years - were glad to skip potion's class to join the dueling club.
Remus had just explained the purpose of the club, reassuring the kids that although formal dueling was a sport, they could all learn a lot if they paid close attention. Then he asked Y/N to join him on the platform and introduce herself for the class.
"Ok!" She happily hopped up the platform and gave the students a small wave. "Hello, everyone!" They all greeted her back. "I met a few of you already, but for those who don't know me yet, my name is Y/N Y/L/N, and I'm an auror. Remus… I mean, Professor Lupin, of course..." She chuckled at her lack of professionalism. "He asked me to come and show you guys some techniques and useful practices at formal dueling. Of course most of my job does not include such formalities, but, as he was telling you before, there are a lot of things which we can learn from formal dueling and apply to real life, so… let's hope you guys enjoy it."
"Perfect!" Remus smiled at her widely and was satisfied with the way the students seemed to be catched by her. "Now as you all can see, Professor Snape has kindly agreed to participate on our class today and will be dueling against Y/N. Therefore, I'm joining you guys in watching the show and we can discuss your practice later." Lupin got off the platform and Snape took his place. "Whenever you're ready." He said, already among the students.
Y/N and Snape nodded shortly, signalizing that they were ready. They walked towards each other, presented their wands and bowed, as the formalities required. When they raised their heads again, Snape could see Y/N's smirk before they walked back to their ends at the platform and positioned themselves. Snape in his defense position, wand on the right hand above his head and the other hand in front of him, and Y/N in an attack position, the wand on her hand almost looked like a sword and the other hand was at her back. For a second or two, they didn't move, and then Y/N took one swift step forward and casted the first spell, which Snape easily blocked.
After seeing how he reacted - Y/N knew he would block her, but was actually impressed by his movements -, she knew what she had to do. There was this whole strategy already set on her mind.
Y/N attacked swiftly with three other spells and with each, she took another step forward. Snape blocked them all before casting his own attack, which Y/N blocked right away. She had this huge smile on her face and that (Severus would never admit) was a bit distracting. They moved in a synchronized way and Severus had a feeling that she could precisely predict all of his moves. On his second attempt of attack, Y/N was quick to use a counterspell and even quicker to use a disarming charm before he could recompose himself.
His wand was thrown from his hand before he could realise what happened.
"Accio." She said and his wand was in her hand before it could hit the floor. She bowed at him again without ever losing that smile and handed him his wand. "It was great, Severus! You're quite an opponent!" He was absolutely taken aback. Damn, she was good! He took his wand from her hand with a smirk and bowed in return. The students were clapping, but it was safe to say Snape didn't realise it before Y/N turned to thank them.
"Excellent! That was amazing, thank you both!" Remus said excitedly as he hopped up the platform.
"It was a pleasure!" Y/N said with a kind smile, putting her wand back in her pocket. "I see you guys enjoyed it, so I assume you have all paid attention to our demonstration." She said to the students. "Then, before you all get a chance to practice, let's discuss some things about it. Do you have any questions?" At that, several hands were raised. "Alright!" She smiled. "Hermione, right?" The girl nodded. Y/N had seen her at the Weasley's once or twice. "Go on."
"How were you so confident about winning?"
"Confident about winning?" Y/N laughed. "I wasn't! Not at all. As a matter of fact, it was quite the opposite. I was positive I was gonna lose." She looked at Severus with a smile before continuing. "But I see why you would think that and it's an interesting point. You see, I was just ok with the fact that I was going to lose. And that's your first tip, right there. Either if it is a formal duel or an actual fight, always assume your opponent is better than you."
"How could that rubbish possibly be a good thing?" The Malfoy boy asked. Y/N wasn't surprised by his behaviour - she knew his father from the Ministry and assumed rudeness was just a gene -, but Severus reprimanded him nonetheless.
"Watch it, Malfoy." He said in that intimidating tone he had reserved for misbehaving students. Of course, usually he would never use it against his slytherins, so that surprised all of the students. Remus was also a bit surprised.
"That's ok, Severus, thanks…" Y/N said smiling at him again. "Well, you see, Draco, your ultimate goal when you fight someone is to survive. Of course, here we're talking about a sport, but in real life, you fight with that sole purpose. When you assume your opponent has the advantage, you pay extra attention to their moves and buy enough time to build surviving strategies."
"Did you have a strategy to fight Professor Snape?" Ron asked.
"Yeah, you could say so…" Y/N smiled.
"What was it?"
"Well, when we got to our spots, I observed he assumed a defensive position." She explained. "So, applying that rule we were just talking about, assuming he was better than me, I had to be prepared for the fact that he was gonna be able to block everyone of my attacks. And therefore, I started to build a strategy to try to break his defenses." At that point, Severus was also paying attention to her explanation. "My first move was just a test, I casted an attacking spell as fast as I could to analyze his reaction. And, just as I thought it would be, he was perfect. Blocked my spell right on time." She chuckled lightly. Severus had to fight the urge to smile.
"Then what was the strategy? How did you deal with the fact that he was probably going to block every spell you used?" Remus asked, just to instigate the class even further.
"Well, now we got to the good stuff!" Y/N said excitedly. "That's what I always teach at my trainings: fighting is a matter of rhythm. You have to find your opponent's pace. Once you do it, you can find their blind spots and use that timing in you advantage."
"So that's why you used other three consecutive attacks right after Professor Snape blocked your first one." Hermione stated.
"Precisely, yes!" Y/N answered, making the girl smile.
"But how do you find that said pace?" Harry asked.
"Oh, easy. Body language." Y/N said shrugging. "You just have to observe your opponent well."
"Does that mean you checked Professor Snape out?" Fred asked. Or maybe it was George. Either way, Severus was ready to take some points from Gryffindor.
"Oh yeah, totally!" Y/N was quick to answer, not a slight bit embarrassed by it. She chuckled right after that and the students joined her in a light laughter. "Okay, enough with that chatting…" She said still smiling. "Let's practice a bit, shall we?"
As the students fussed around the platform, getting ready to their own dueling rounds, Y/N turned to Severus and winked at him. She always did that and he always had to fight a blush. He was about to say something, but a student called her over before he could even form a sentence inside his head. He just watched as Y/N helped the students and demonstrated a few more moves for the rest of the class.
Remus paid close attention to that and smiled at the scene. Severus seemed absolutely hypnotized.
