Chapter 262: Snape's perspective

(Snape POV)

I scoffed to myself when the old man told me to treat the young man with understanding as if he was some normal brat. Nicholas Ravenclaw was many things but normal was not one of them. In his same situation I very much doubt any other student would have hesitated for a second to either flee in panic or violently attack Lockhart. That he instead turned the man in despite his justifiable anger showed a level of self control few possess. The thing that concerned me instead was the boys rapidly growing power.-

He hid it well but it showed if you were to pay attention , small things like the fact most of his spells were overpowered by a large amount. Or even the silent transfigurations he employs without hiding at all. There had even been a increasingly more adept and powerful level to the enchanted items as well. I had noticed it by observing one of the first rings of protection he sold as well as the newest set. The new enchantment was more stable and I wasn't even sure the boy knew it could now block two attacks before crumbling instead of one.-

"You'll have to excuse me while I go speak with the professor." The boy said and his friends looked surprised as they only just noticed me at that moment. He stood up and walked over to where I was standing calmly but I noticed the wand in his hand. Considering he had already been attacked today his caution was understandable. "MUFFLIATO!" I spoke making it impossible to eavesdrop on the conversation. "I was sent to inform you of the need for your assistance in removing the curse on the Defense against the dark arts position. I was also told you may be of assistance in finding as suitable replacement for the recently dismissed professor." I said bluntly.-

The boy didn't look surprised at all to hear what I said which made sense since all of this was his idea to begin with. "Give me a moment to settle things with my friends and I'll be right along." he said and I nodded. After the boy handled his friends we went back into the castle but not to the defense against the dark arts classroom like I had expected but rather to the Headmaster's office.-

The boy seemed to have anticipated my confusion and explained the reason behind this action. "I am familiar with the school wards as they are currently and as a result can't remove the curse without someone familiar with it's previous state with me." he said and I understood what he was talking about. It was like trying to remove an impurity in a potion that you hadn't brewed , you would first need to know what the impurity was before you could focus on removing it which might require the brewer themselves. "Lemon drops." I spoke the password which caused the griffin statue to move aside revealing the stairs to the office.
