HP - Shadow Monarch!

[Chapter Size: 2100 Words.]

Third Person POV

Hogwarts.

...

...

Snape returned to the school as he headed to the common hall, he was seen entering by some students at the gate, stunned with a student going outside the school, after all, it was forbidden on days the school did not allow them to go to Hogsmeade.

To his surprise, the gate opened for Snape, after all, he had agreed with the headmaster and to avoid confusions like yesterday in the library, Albus had allowed Snape's exit, even if he would have to face some enraged students wanting to know why Snape had a special treatment at the school.

Snape did not mind, entering the school and going to eat something after his exercises, he ended up going to the kitchen floor and entering the place to have lunch with the house-elves

"Mr. Snape..." They murmured as soon as they saw him while doing basically what Snape had seen yesterday.

"Hello, just give me what I ate yesterday and don't overdo it," Snape certainly did not want to deal with a bunch of house-elves bothering him with food dishes they prepared, and the same from them not wanting to see that scary side coming from Snape.

Snape ate quietly while remaining in a corner alone, the elves served him with a lot of meat as he requested, wanting to replenish all the energy he had spent fighting in the Forbidden Forest.

He then proceeded after lunch to the first class he would have in this art along with Hufflepuff, as he walked down the corridor, a certain group was waiting for him in a corner of the castle, near the entrance to Professor Filius Flitwick's class, the Marauders were waiting for their target to arrive.

"Are you sure he will come?" Pettigrew asked.

"Of course, he hasn't shown up once in the common hall after yesterday, but he will certainly come to class, let's wait to start our revenge after what he did in Diagon Alley." Potter commented.

"I still don't think it will be a good idea... He doesn't seem the same, you've seen his eyes shine and there are many rumors in the school that he is a new dark lord or something." Pettigrew insisted, fearing Snape could now finish them off.

"Don't be a coward, Pettigrew! Don't you remember he called you a rat, we must take revenge!" Black supported Potter.

"..." Lupin remained silent, just watching his friends.

"Anyway, let's not overdo it, it's just a bladder with powder that will make him itch for a week..." Potter spoke while pointing to the balloon suspended from the ceiling while waiting for a stream of students to pass, waiting for Snape to appear. They knew about the Slytherin with Hufflepuff class on spells, so they hid out of sight of the students passing waiting for the target to come. "This will be just the beginning of Snape's suffering... Soon he will regret having appeared in the school again." Potter mocked.

"He finally appeared..." Black commented as Snape appeared coming from the stairs approaching on this floor.

He was alone while many students looked at him as he passed, 'That damn, he has always been a loser, how did he become so popular with the girls?' Potter couldn't help but murmur as he saw many girls looking at Snape with a look that Potter hoped Lily would look at him one day, and thinking about her, a certain insecurity took hold of him, after all Lily might also look at him like that and Potter wouldn't like that not even in his worst nightmares with the girl he wants.

'He pushed her away offending her as mudblood, there's no reason for her to talk to him again, let alone think like that, and calm down Potter, you are better than that loser who just changed a bit.' Potter tried to affirm these words in his mind, with a certain fear of losing to Snape in terms of love, 'I will destroy you this year that you won't even recognize yourself anymore, Snape!' He swore as Snape continued walking and approaching.

Meanwhile, as this happened and the Marauders waited for Snape to pass under a bladder on the ceiling, Snape himself was looking forward, but his mind already working. 'These idiots, as soon as I entered the floor, I knew I was being watched, they can't even hide their presence...' Snape thought with some boredom, not caring much for those 4.

"Moreover, do the idiots think they can catch me with a balloon...?" Snape thought as he noticed the balloon on the ceiling waiting for him to approach. "I'm not the same as the old Snape, but if they really want to play, then let's do this..." He murmured internally as he got closer.

It didn't take long for Snape to reach the spot and as soon as he peeked at the location, Potter jumped out of his hiding place and aimed his wand at the balloon, making it fall with a silent spell.

Snape saw this and noticed that Black, at his side, aimed a paralyzing spell at him while casting towards him, Snape saw this and drew his wand from within his cloak at an unreal speed, while twirling the wand creating a double spell, which was surprising and few people in magic could do this, stopping the balloon in mid-air as it hung suspended and he then cast a "Protego" spell, which created a shield against Black's magic, the magic hit without breaking through his shield while the Marauders who were already celebrating their victory, were stunned by this and before they could react, Snape cast a spell he learned over the holidays, on the ground beneath them, making them stick, trapping all 4.

"What is this!? I can't move!" Pettigrew exclaimed while the others were stunned and looked at Snape in surprise, while they saw Snape twirl his wand and move that suspended balloon, flying towards them without being able to react.

Snape just internally mocked them, having no pity, if they want to act like this, then he will give them a taste of their own medicine, no matter what they do. Potter and his friends saw the balloon flying towards them unable to do anything, colliding directly against Potter's head exploding before spreading to his friends, with a red powder.

The people who were in the corridors running so as not to miss their classes, were stunned when they saw this while they saw the Marauders get covered in red ink, covering all the portraits.

When the 4 red figures finally seemed to come out of their daze, opening their eyes being the only thing that stood out in that bunch of red ink, looking at Snape in disbelief at what was happening.

"What have you done?" Potter exclaimed angrily while laughter started to spread through the corridors of the place.

"Take him down!" Black exclaimed preparing his magic, while Snape just looked at them with a raised eyebrow, after all, it was curious how they acted like victims at this moment.

However, as soon as Black and Potter tried to cast their magic, they felt something running through their body, even making them drop their wands to the ground.

"What is this?! It's itching!" They exclaimed as they began to scratch their bodies hard, trying to stop the agonizing sensation of the powder's effect.

"Hahaha!"

"Hahaha Look at them!"

"What am I seeing? Hahahaha"

All the students around started to laugh at them seeing 4 people covered in that powder while scratching their entire body, as the 2 wands, of Potter and Black, falling to the ground.

"My wand!" Potter said going to the ground to try to do something about it, while scratching his body with the other hand.

But as soon as he grabbed his wand, it wouldn't come off the ground, due to the sticking effect Snape produced on the floor, "It won't come off!!" He exclaimed and tried to move his hand back to help scratch his body, however, his hand that had already touched the ground, also got stuck making him shocked at what was happening while the itching was taking over his body.

"Use the wand, Pettigrew and Lupin!" Black said after trying to do the same with Potter, but he was in a worse situation due to the force trying to pull the wand, he slipped and fell getting into a position on all fours, leaving both hands on the ground, while he writhed trying to relieve the itch without having anything to rub against his body at the moment.

Pettigrew and Lupin tried to do while they drew their wands, but as soon as they tried to use any spell, a wave of force quickly hit them, Snape would not let them have an easy moment as he used the "Expelliarmus" spell so fast that they couldn't react while they were disarmed, making their wands immediately fall to the ground.

"You look great like that," Snape commented as more and more students gathered to laugh at the four.

"Snape, you bastard! You will pay for this!" Potter swore angrily.

"It doesn't matter, your words are just empty to me, but if you want, you can try, I'll be waiting for you, but don't complain about the consequences and you better ask someone for help now, after all, you've missed your class..." He added. "But I doubt very much that you can have any class while you're in this state." He mocked, after all, if he wasn't mistaken, once they used the same powder on the old Snape, making the poor boy itch for a week and not even being able to attend classes due to the excessive itching he had to relieve on his body in the third year, even seeing four foolish children in a quite pitiful state while he couldn't even leave there, he felt a bit of satisfaction seeing that scene, a small payback after everything they had done.

"Snape! Where do you think you're going!" Black shouted, seeing Snape simply ignoring them, while he still writhed, being the most pitiful of the group.

"I'm going to my class, it was nice to see you, I hope we can meet more often." He said with a tone of mockery in his voice, as he began to walk away.

"Snape! You can't leave us like this!" Lupin exclaimed, but Snape just passed by the students laughing and mocking the group at that moment.

"Snape, the headmaster won't let you get away with this, listen to what I'm saying! You'll be in trouble soon!" Potter said in agony while scratching his rib with one hand, in a very strange position with his hand on the ground.

"No matter what you say, anyway, I'm going to my class." Snape simply said as he disappeared into the corridors heading to his class.

He noticed that the room was already full as he entered with everyone looking at him as the last student, while the professor adjusted his glasses looking at him.

"You've finally arrived, Mr. Snape..." He spoke almost at the beginning of the class, but did not try to lecture him about timing or deduct points from his house.

"Sorry for that, Professor Flitwick, I had some inconveniences along the way, but solved, I'm here for your class." Snape spoke calmly, taking a seat at the back of the class as he saw an empty desk. The students looked at him like a hawk, after all, he was still a novelty even for the students of Slytherin itself, while the Hufflepuffs looked at him cautiously, after all, a prefect had spread rumors of him walking through the school at night like a Dark Lord wanting to commit crimes.

Professor Filius Flitwick expected a certain disrespect from Snape as he did with Minerva, but his face lit up as he heard the title professor in the greeting from the student who was the center of attention of the school for his rebellion the last day.

"All right, Mr. Snape, I can understand, now settle down while I start the class!" He said in a more animated tone, and Snape just nodded, this was his way of saying he respected that professor, after all, he wasn't like Minerva and he wouldn't mind spending some time in his classes.
