“I’m hardly qualified—”
“Nonsense, Professor. We’ve read about you. You’re the perfect guest mentor for Wampus while their Head visits Hogwarts.”
Wampus? What were their traits? Severus coughed. “I…appreciate your endorsement. This is the month, then?”
“Yes.” Headmistress Jefferson smiled. “Follow me, I’ll show you to your guest quarters.”
Once he settled in, Severus picked up a book. Perhaps this professor exchange program, in which Minerva’d insisted he participate, wouldn’t be so bad.
When someone knocked, he sighed before reluctantly opening the door. “Yes?”
“Professor? I’ve questions.”
After the tenth student showed up Severus realised he was in trouble.

Severus pinched the bridge of his nose. “How did this happen?”
The Wampus girl who’d run to get him, repeated her statement. “They were trying to fly without brooms, sir.”
“And why would they do something so foolish?”
“They read about it in your biography.”
“You mean my unauthorised biography?”
The girl shrugged.
Severus again eyed the three Wampus students who were bundled up in bandages and lying in cots. “I trust you all realise how idiotic you were?” he snapped.
“But you fly!” one wailed. “Teach us!”
Severus blinked. Wampus was apparently Ilivermorny’s version of Gryffindor. Slowly, he smirked.
~
Headmistress Jefferson eyed Severus across her desk. “Professor Snape, what have you done?”
Severus smiled blandly. “Nothing, Headmistress. I simply mentored the Wampus students as you asked.”
“But they’re not acting like themselves. They’re playing pranks, sneaking around. This isn’t characteristic. They’re usually more…straightforward.”
Severus inclined his head. “Quite. Well, as I’m not a member of their House, I’m ignorant of their usual traits.”
“Perhaps it was a mistake to insist you mentor them.” The Headmistress sighed.
“Indeed.” Severus hummed. “I’ll just abdicate those duties, then—”
“One moment.” She smirked. “We’ll find the right fit, Professor. Don’t you worry.”

Date: 2016-11-13 04:04 pm (UTC)Is Severus teaching them to be Marauders?!
Yes, it seems quite true that he doesn't really know the Wampus house and its traits. But this is more a fault of a bad preparation on the side of Ilvermorny. I mean, what kind of organization of a teacher exchange is that?! Didn't they communicate in advance? Well, obviously they didn't. I hope they'll know better next time...

Date: 2016-11-13 10:20 pm (UTC)No, I think they were already Marauder-like. I suspect he's trying to instill some Slytherin traits. ;)
And I imagine the headmistresses communicated, only they neglected to let Severus know. This will teach them. ;)
Thanks, hon!
