Severus was in his room grumbling, he was nursing a sore bottom. As he laid in his bed he thought of how he got to where he was.

Flashback

I sighed it was the break and I was spending it at Spinner's end. When my father opened the door he had a smirk on his face like he had won the lottery.

"Hello boy come on in I have someone you need to meet," Father said his voice with a hint of excitement. "I'll be rid of this freak soon," he thought.

I followed the father and was surprised to see a handsome man on our home's old and ratty couch. The man looked like money and could be compared with the Malfoys. The man rose from the car and walked towards the Snapes.

"Hello Severus I am Mike Heimersson, I am a potion master and I hear from your father that you are a very talented potion student," The stranger said with his hand out.

"Boy do you have all your crap, you're leaving," Father said. I was shocked, I asked why I couldn't believe his answer. "I sold you to this guy, so your not my problem. He will take care of all your freaky things. Now BOTH OF YOU GET OUT." With that, he shoved both of us out the door. I was in shock I barely noticed us appearing to Mike's home of him showing me to my room.

End of Flashback

That was two weeks ago. On the second day, Mike gave me choirs and work to do and the rules. The rules were simple I had to obey him, not go into his lab without him, don't leave the grounds without telling him, don't do anything that could harm me or others and don't start creating or testing potions without his approval. I had to create two batches of fever reducer, blood replenisher, and plan a new potion and research. The first week I was still in shock but got over it and was happy to get away from my father. At breakfast, he gives me a new list of potions to make and dinner we talk about my day. My room is similar to the head boy's room at Hogwarts. I was shaken out of my thoughts by Mike returning. He rubbed some potion onto my bottom that would help with healing.

"Ok, Severus I'm giving you a choice do you want to go back to Hogwarts full time or become my apprentice and take a few classes at Hogwarts," Mike asked.

"Would you it include if I agreed to be your apprentice?" I asked. He told me that if I became his apprentice I would Take transfiguration, charms, and any other classes I wanted at Hogwarts. I would learn potions and defense from him and I would come home every night. That sounded great so I agreed. We are going to meet the Deputy Headmistress Professor Minerva McGonagall later today at five o'clock because it's the only day she's free. I'm upset because I know that Mike won't heal me completely for the meeting. We talked for a little before he left me to rest before the meeting. We flooded to the leaky caldron for lunch around three. I was wearing some tight black jeans, a Slytherin shirt, a pair of tennis shoes and a cloak. Mike was wearing the same thing but with a red shirt. I told him that he looks like a Gryffindor, he just laughed. We shopped and just walked around for about two hours. I couldn't help but wonder if this is what a date feels like. A few minutes before five we made our way towards the tea house, it was more proper than meeting leaky cauldron. We made it there with a few minutes to spare but we were beaten by the professor. When she recognized me she rose to meet us and shake Mikes' hand and then mine.

"Good Evening Professor McGonagall, How are you on this fine evening?" Mike asked, his voice voicing his great respect for her and her accomplishments.

"I'm well professor and yourself" I answered, the professor did have a habit of showing favoritism to her house but she still was fair "for the most part".

"That is great. I wish to congratulate you on your apprenticeship with Lord Heimersson .

I thanked her and we rose and shook hands. With the meeting over we left the shop, not paying attention I bumped into an Old man and almost sent him to the ground. "Hey, you bastard Watch where You're going You almost pushed my dad Lord Potter to the ground". I groaned I recognized that Voice it was James Potter Just my luck Just became free OF him and his friends just to run into him. "Hey, its snivious" Potter boasted to his friends. "Look at what he's wearing prongs, looks like Malfoy finally got himself a toy" Black crackled. I tried to fight the flush I felt trying to show on my face. I was preparing a resort when the Gryffindors healed me to my feet just to throw me to the ground, they started crackling to each other while reaching at me to do it again. Before they had a chance they were knocked off their feet into a puddle of mud. I laughed and was surprised when a pair of hands lifted me and set me on my feet. I knew it was Mike who had helped me as no one else would. As Mike and I were turning away from the brats I heard them trying but failing to get out of the mud. I cracked a smile and bid farewell to the professor. We operate home as we were done with our business. Mike went to his lab and I went to the library.

I spent a few hours in the library reading Mike's potion books. Around seven Mile called me to the dining room for dinner. Once I reached the dining room I was met with a simple but clearly delicious meal awaiting me.

"Severus we are going to start your lessons when Hogwarts is back in session, but if you want we can review your Hogwarts lessons to make sure you are prepared for them of if you want to be ahead," Mike told me.

"I would like to be ahead as I'm usually in the top five of my classes" I answered, I prided myself on being one of the top students to make my mother proud.

"What classes are you taking at Hogwarts so I can make sure I am prepared and so your professors know when you're going to be there for" Mike reminded me.

" I want to take transfiguration, charms, and astronomy at Hogwarts," I told him.

Once dinner was done I went to my room. I made my way to my room passing Mike's office it sounded like he was having a meeting. Inside my room, I laid on my bed and reached under for my cream. I made this cream in secret after my second trip over Mike's knee. This cream soothes the pain and comfort after a spanking. I barely touched it and was shocked when I felt a swat on to my areas. A note appeared in front of me and I was shocked.

Severus none of that cream this time. I have ignored it before but you almost got hurt with this stunt. -Mike

I opened my potion journal to track my recipe of the potion that exploded. It was an experimental potion that was meant to be a stopper on the violent uncontrollable nature of a fully transformed werewolf. I have been reading and studying other potions, a similarity between all is a small sliver of silver or something that causes a similar reaction in werewolves. My thought is that what could help is the use of substances that have a calming effect on wolves. I meet with one of Mike's friend that the reason for the violent in werewolves during the full moon is that the person and wolf are fighting for dominance in the same body. If the human and the wolf were able to lessen their magical, spiritual and physical conflicts.

Mike Pov

After leaving dinner I made my way to my study. I had just sat down when my floo alarm went off. With a wave of my hand, I allowed them entrance. A tall medium build dark-skinned woman stepped through. She was dressed in a pair of muggle jeans and a spaghetti strap t-shirt. She was Diana, my cousin.

"Diana, what can I do for you your owl was very vague," I asked. She sent me an owl earlier that morning about needing something important.

"Hello Mac, I need you to let Cronk stay here. I'm being summoned to the temple" She said. I knew how infrequent summonings were but how important they were. You could decide not to go but they will come get you at the most embarrassing time to discourage not coming. When we were teens out head decided not to go as there was an assembly of the students. Halfway through the assembly the heads mother and two guards burst through the main doors. His mother started loudly scolding his and one of the guards threw the head over his shoulder and they walked out with a thirty-year-old man over a man's shoulder while being scolded by his mother. All us students vowed to never skip summings.

"Alright, I was going to contact you so that Cronk and Severus could meet" I offered her a seat and went to talk t Severus. I knocked on Severus' door and went in. He was pouting on his bed, I smirked.

"I see you got my note, Severus my friend Dona has asked me to house their apprentice as they are away for a few days," I told him, he agreed and I went back to my office. I and Dona made plans and she went home. I stayed in my office for a few hours and went to bed.
