Professor Riddle usually emotionless face bent. Just a ghost of a smile crossed his lips. Quicker then it appeared he smoothened it.
"Of course there is." He said
"Only, it is that sort of magic I am to teach you to fight." But there was no hiding that Severus had said the right thing.
"For those unaware of what ah-" Riddle checked the roll call," Severus Snape is it? Of what Mr. Snape is referring too, it would be called Expelliarmus."
Riddle now addressing the class on the very basic of defensive spells. Every so often he would turn to Severus to confirm some truth. A good many things they had not even crossed yet in their textbooks. But Riddle held the crowds interest.
He even winked down at Snape, "As you are all first years-I should not be starting so early. However-"
That forbidden nature had them hooked. He paired them up to practices together. Riddle knew that none were strong enough to do much harm. In fact the excitement had made them better listeners.
By the end of class as they filed out with homework orders, Riddle held Snape back. Waiting till they were left alone.
"Do you still want to know how to keep from being disarmed? Even if it is illegal?"
It seemed like Severus had asked a good question, and he felt himself fill with pride at that. He was only a first year, but it seemed he was already on track to doing well. He was disappointed to hear that a spell to prevent disarming was dark, but happy to hear his Professor talk about different defensive spells, even if he knew most of it from reading ahead in the textbook.
And his teacher even winked at him before letting them all practice the defensive spells. Really, it was one of his favorite classes he’d had thus far, and he found himself very excited to learn more from Professor Riddle.
He stayed when the professor asked him to, curious as to why. And he frowned when the man asked if he wanted to learn something illegal. This wasn’t a trap, was it? To trick him into saying he wouldn’t mind doing something illegal only to arrest or expel him? But no, surely not. The way his professor had winked at him earlier, the way he’d seemed pleased by Severus’s question, made it unlikely that the professor would try to trick him. Still, best to be careful.
“As you said earlier, some things that are dark are necessary. I’m not sure why a spell to protect from being disarmed would be illegal. Is… is there a good reason for that?” Because yes, Severus still wanted more than anything to learn how to keep from being disarmed, but not if the spell would replace his hand with his wand or something.
