James Potter hated his job. He had been an Auror once, raising high in the ranks until that duel with the Dark Lord. He had killed the dark wizard but his body had never been the same, he was slower, weaker. He had started teaching at Hogwarts as a favor to Dumbledore, now here he was 10 years later still teaching Defense against the Dark arts to a bunch of brats who had nothing to fear. But they all insisted on dueling in the halls and going to look for trouble. The only thing that made it possible for him to wake up in the morning now was that Newts and OWLs were coming up, he'd be free soon.
"Professor Potter?" James looked away from the window of the grounds and walked over to were the Ravenclaw with her hand up was sitting.
"Yes, Ms. Granger?" James asked looking down at her.
"I finished my essay, do you want me to start on the next one?" She looked up at him smiling widely he had to suppress the urge to mock her.
"I finished mine too!" MacMillan said from beside her.
"You're excused." James said curtly taking the parchment in his hands.
"Eep!" James turned and glared at the only Slytherins in his class. The three were sitting at the back, Parkinson was blushing hard while Malfoy was trying to muffle a laugh. Snape on the other hand looked was looking down at his parchment at all through the curtain of his black hair.
"10 points from Slytherain." James said taking the few steps to get to the back of the class and glare at Snape. Everyone else saw just a boy who barley talked and when he did it was brief and to the point. Oh, he had manners, always was a polite little bastard. Everyone saw him as the victim in the duels that seemed to break out in the hallways, that Malfoy was manipulating him. They were all blind, James knew who was in change of that little slytherin cliche. Snape planned everything while Malfoy and Parkinson put it into action. The three became fast friends and James had never taken his eyes off of them.
"But professor!" Parkinson said looking up at him. "We didn't do any-"
"20 points from Slytherin," James said turning around and heading to the front of the class room.
"Bugger off," Malfoy muttered loudly.
"would you like to raise it the amount of points your house is losing, Mr. Malfoy?" James asked looking over at the other boy
"No, sir." Snape said while Malfoy looked down at his work.
"After class, Mr. Snape." James said sitting down at his desk.

"What the hell was that about?" Ron Weasley asked walking over to were the three slytherins were gathering their stuff slowly.
"Harry kissed my neck in the middle of class, I jumped a bit and Potter goes postal." Pansy said glaring at the Professor at the front of class.
"Git needs to get laid." Draco said rolling his eyes.
"Hope your not offering to help him with that." Ron said glaring playfully at his boyfriend.
"Not my type." Draco stuck his tongue out as he hugged Ron.
"I can't believe he's keeping you after class again!" Pansy said ignoring the two other boys.
"Not a big deal," Harry shrugged his shoulders.
"But-"
"Class is over." Professor Potter yelled.
"See you at Dinner," Pansy said kissing Harry on the cheek before fallowing the rest of the class out into the hallway. Harry looked after her for a minuet before heading to the front of the class looking at Professor Potter.
"If you continue to cause trouble in my Class, Mr. Snape you might as well not come back. The fact that you've made it this far is a surprise to me." Potter said not looking up from the parchment he was grading. "Are we clear?"
"No, Sir." Harry knew his face was emotionless but his blood was boiling, he'd never done anything to get this treatment. He was a good student, he did all his work at Professor Potter was treating him like a criminal.
"Excuse me?" Potter looked up from the parchment.
"Are you this hard on everyone or just the students whose mothers turned you down?" Harry hadn't meant to say it but it leaped out of his mouth before he could stop it. Professor Potter's left eye twitched and then Harry felt himself get flung across the class room into a desk. Harry stood up wiping the blood from his forehead looking at the man with his green eyes burning. "I touched a nerve?"
"You pompous little bastard. "Potter growled pointing his wand at him.
"Assaulting a student, that's against the rules, isn't it?" Harry put the best Slytherin smile on his face and bowed his head slightly.

(Maybe? I'm not sure. Thinking of this as a one-shot but maybe it could be part of a bigger story, don't know)
