Severus had only just made it around the first corner when suddenly he found himself face to face with no less a person than the culprit. He'd be lying though, if he said there wasn't also a little spark of appreciation within him whenever he was crossing path with Draco Malfoy. Maybe not exactly in a cheerful way, but like feeling familiar with somebody. A long-lost feeling. Yet, Severus surely wouldn't allow that feeling to get in his way of fulfilling his plans. "Professor Boyle,""Mr. Malfoy," Severus answered in the same stern way as his opponent had. "My apologies for almost knocking you over. I had gotten word that perhaps one of the students that stayed behind the school trip to the Village may have been lurking around in rooms off limits. I simply was on my way to investigate,"
Severus listened to the story without the slightest change of expression on his face, most of it, or rather the most readable parts, hidden behind dark glasses anyway.
"Is that why you're out here also, lurking the halls? I mean, you would have been notified as Ogden's substitute?" Clever and smart he was, a lot more than in his younger days. But Severus was as well. The last thing he would do was acknowledging defeat, especially not as long as Draco had no proof at all. The only thing this man had, and by this time, Severus was very sure about that being a fact, was a vial with a last drop of polyjuice potion in it. Even if he'd already found out what kind of potion it was - and he knew Draco had never been the best in Potions -, he still had no evidence that it belonged to him, and moreover, an explanation why it would be something unusual to have, when you were Hogwarts' professor of Potions. "Whoever had tipped you off about that," he started slowly and with slight amusement, yet in his usual mocking way. "I'm sure they had some fun with it. Especially while at Hogsmeade, some students tend to... play little pranks on the teaching staff." Severus remembered all too well the two princes of jokes, the Weasley twins, back at the time he still had been an official member of the staff. It was not too suspicious to make Draco wonder that students could have used joke articles from Zonko's to alter their voices and give him a false tip. And then, a little bit more seriously, he added: "But if it's any relief to you, I can keep my eyes open." Spying attacks were best to parry with ridicule.

"But if it's any relief to you, I can keep my eyes open."
" Oh-ho there," Draco chuckled to himself, concealing it as a clearing of a cough. He didn't want to seem oblivious, but really? He shook his head internally as Boyle attempted to slide out of this one. Well, Draco simply wouldn't allow him to do so. This man was way too dodgy to be anyone trustworthy, and Draco looked forward to get to the bottom of the pit where the truth may lie. He may be at the top yet, scraping away the residue, but at least he was the only one with enough intuition to realize the imposter that was among them. He wouldn't let him take advantage of the situation any more. Enough was enough, "Not so fast," Draco side stepped in sync with Boyle as he put his hands up in between them, "Who are we really fooling here?" Draco spoke in a tone that dripped enough of the bullshit, before dipping his glance in the direction of Boyle in a serious manner, "Let's drop the act while we're ahead. What is your business in these corridors, Boyle?" Draco asked, regrettably assuming he may get something out of the situation, despite whether side he decided to play on.

Severus was aware of the coughing being none at all, yet he didn't feel any motivation to comment on that. He just wanted to be on his own for one damn moment. That couldn't be too much to ask for. And so he tried to clear out instead.
"Not so fast," That would have been too easy, right? Severus' eyes rolled behind dark glasses. "Who are we really fooling here?""Let's drop the act while we're ahead. What is your business in these corridors, Boyle?"
Another roll of his eyes - wow, he hadn't made so much use of them in years, probably not even in times he still had his own eyesight - before he turned his head back in Draco's direction. For some more moments, he just looked at him in silence, then finally spoke up again as well. "Correct me if I'm wrong, but... I can't remember to have signed anything that wouldn't allow me to leave my office..., Malfoy." Draco had missed out on the Professor, so he was missing out on the Mister. Severus finished his little remark with the usual raising of his lips that was far from looking joyful.

"Correct me if I'm wrong, but... I can't remember to have signed anything that wouldn't allow me to leave my office..., Malfoy."
Draco's gaze dropped to the floor in a agitated chuckle before looking back up at Boyle. Placing his hands on his hips in a confrontational stance, Draco took a couple more steps into their circle that currently resided in the middle of the corridor, " It's not even really just about you lurking in this corridor. What I really mean to ask is... what are you doing here at Hogwarts?" Draco allowed his trademark sneer from his younger days to creep forward as he raised his eyebrows at Boyle as if to silently say I know you aren't who you say you are, "Are you some sort of spy for the Ministry? Or are you associated with...others," Draco openly interrogated the poor man in front of him. He didn't care. If this man was an imposter and posed as a danger to his boys, then he had a right to know what this man's intentions were.

"It's not even really just about you lurking in this corridor. What I really mean to ask is... what are you doing here at Hogwarts?""Are you some sort of spy for the Ministry? Or are you associated with...others,"
Severus knew exactly how much Draco was trying to hide that he started to piss him off. And probably he should really treat one of Hogwart's governors with more respect, but he couldn't help still seeing the little Malfoy boy who thought everyone had to be at his bidding while he'd only been a student, just like everyone else. Nowadays, Draco actually had the right to have everyone be at his bidding, or a lot of people, at least. But not Severus, because he was still seeing the boy's tutor in himself. For some reason, he wanted to reveal himself to his all-time favorite pupil, but he couldn't. Draco wouldn't understand, and Severus wouldn't be able to explain. He had come so far. Any departing from his plans, never mind how imperfect they still were, would mean a risk to lose everything he had been working towards. And so he just swallowed this nostalgic feeling and instead took up again the war between rivals.
"Mr. Malfoy...," Severus started in a slightly ridiculing tone and also in his usual way of pronouncing every single syllable like it was one long sentence on its own. "If you have a problem with me... personally..., I suggest you file a complaint to the headmaster... officially. But," he paused for a moment in which he threw a look in the direction of the headmaster's tower and back to Draco, suddenly an almost triumphant smile upon his lips, "that will have to wait until... later, I guess. To answer your question though... I'm the Professor of Potions. That is what I'm doing here." Draco Malfoy might be an authority here, yet it was him who headmaster Ogden had announced his representative as long as he was away, immaterial how that had come about. "Any more questions?"

"Mr. Malfoy...,"
Something flashed before Draco's eyes so fast that he felt as if it could have knocked him off of his feet. Almost as if Boyle's tone had awoken a vision of something from his past. As Boyle pressed onward with his explanations, Draco worked quickly to suppress the pang that the jolt had created within his chest to not soften away from his firm confrontational stance in front of this man. What was that? Draco tried to decipher what he just saw but made nothing more out of it except for blurred backgrounds and outlines of what could possibly be people. A memory? Of what? Of whom?
"If you have a problem with me... personally..., I suggest you file a complaint to the headmaster... officially. But," "that will have to wait until... later, I guess. To answer your question though... I'm the Professor of Potions. That is what I'm doing here."
Draco outwardly scoffed at this man's claim to the title he spoke. He pointed his gaze away for a moment at any sort of attempt to suppress his emotionally riled state that this man had poked at, like a muggle poking an agitated bear. He could only go so far without having the uncontrollable urge to eat this man alive. Draco could see right through this individual. He was playing a part, and nothing more. Draco figured he could have swayed some sort of answer out of him. And if this stranger was here to dish up the dirt on Ogden, then Draco might have offered his resources while in mutual conflict with the Headmaster, especially if it meant knowing the cause behind this man's arrival. But that was when Draco gave him a chance to be on good terms. That ship sailed and sank to the bottom of the ocean.
"Any more questions?"
"Only one," Draco slowly turned his head as his eyes swept the floor between them before looking up at Boyle with anguish speckled all over his complexion, "Do you feel proud of yourself to stand in the shoes of the greatest Potions Master that ever lived and make a mockery of his former title?" Draco scanned him from top to bottom as his anger slowly morphed into painful betrayal, "How dare you stand where he stood. I know you aren't here for the right reasons. And when I find out who you truly are," Draco took a few steps inward as he waved an angry finger in the air between them, "Mark my words, I will take you down until there's nothing left. Until then, both of my boys will be removed from your classes and placed in other curriculums effective immediately." Draco attempted to catch his breath as his entire body shook with outrage, "Do you even have anything to say for yourself?!" Draco shifted his body weight backwards as his widened gaze looked upon Boyle in desperation, scanning for any sign of remorse.

"Only one,"
Severus watched him through the dark lenses of his glasses. He was not as hostile towards Draco as he might think. Quite the contrary. He had always liked the Malfoy boy in some way, even though he never expressed so. While any other student had avoided even look him into the eye, Draco had reached out to him on his free will, and that although Severus had never treated him differently. Not on purpose, at least. Severus tried to thrust aside these thoughts, but then the following question coming from Draco threw him right back there. Entirely unexpected.
"Do you feel proud of yourself to stand in the shoes of the greatest Potions Master that ever lived and make a mockery of his former title?"
Severus remained motionless, yet behind his glasses, his eyes stared in utter emotion. Others had always judged him to be cold and heartless, although that was never what he'd been. And if he had appeared so, then mostly to protect himself. To protect that foolish young boy that once had been humbled by teenage scum. And yet again, Severus had to thrust away the thoughts of his past to not get lost in them.
"How dare you stand where he stood. I know you aren't here for the right reasons. And when I find out who you truly are,""Mark my words, I will take you down until there's nothing left. Until then, both of my boys will be removed from your classes and placed in other curriculums effective immediately."
At that, Severus managed to have himself fully back in the here and now. He still didn't say anything, but found it quite amusing rather than intimidating to listen to Draco's warnings and announcements. The Malfoys were still in the belief that everyone had to be at their bidding. And yet, there was so much anger in his voice. What was it aimed at, Severus wondered. Surely not only at the fact somebody had been taking on the job of Severus Snape, how flattering of a thought that might be.
"Do you even have anything to say for yourself?!"
He remained quiet for another moment while his eyes behind dark glasses scanned over Draco's features. He really wanted to tell him. But he couldn't.
"Quick to judge, are we?" Severus eventually said with the same composure in his voice as before. And even though this might not be his own voice, there always was a hint to his true being audible through the way he was speaking. "Well, what else to expect..." from a Malfoy, he added only in thoughts. He knew this would burn Draco up even more, and so Severus was reminding himself that this was not actually his intention. Not in the first place. No, seriously, he had been an old friend of the Malfoys ever since. This was more like a little mocking. "I'm just curious. How are you going to reason such an approach? Especially the elder of your boys might bear the damage of that decision." To put it mildly, Callum Malfoy had not the slightest talent when it came to potions. And the other one was a self-opinionated brat. Taking the latter out of his potion class would still leave him in his detention class. That wasn't something he would bring up a subject with Draco, of course.

"Quick to judge, are we?" "Well, what else to expect...""I'm just curious. How are you going to reason such an approach? Especially the elder of your boys might bear the damage of that decision."
"Did I ask for your opinion on what's best for my boys?" Draco arrogantly spewed as he quickly jumped to his own defense on the choices he made for his sons. Bless Callum's heart, but Draco was well aware that his son was not on the road to becoming a great potions master. He didn't blame the kid though, every kid always had a weak subject.
"I'm sure he'll be thankful to be out of your ridiculous class. And yes, I've seen his first term transcript. He doesn't seem to be learning much from you anyway," Although Draco was older and wiser from when he was young, very once in a blue moon fragments of his old self will begin to poke through his personality. Especially when someone got under his skin. He had learned much and had grown since the days of his naïve and obnoxious ways, yet something within him remembered how good that adrenaline rush felt from tearing a piece off of someone. And back in the day, Draco typically fell back on his makeshift henchmen for validation. But he was a big boy now, and he was strong enough to hold his own without any sort of back up.
"Look at you, seeming all presumptuous like nothing can touch you," Draco spoke with disgust as he scanned Boyle from top to bottom before staring through him with his signature Malfoy smirk, the very one that Scorpius had inherited, as he thought about his next words, "Yet, Ogden's not here to save you. You're nothing more than a tiny bug on the ground just waiting to be squashed. I think it's time Boyle learned how to respect his superiors," His sly grin opened to a full on pompous smile before Draco inwardly chuckled, enjoying the taunt show he was putting on. He thought about how victorious it would feel to get this disrespectful man fired and out of his way. If he really was a true faculty member of this school, he would be treating Draco with respect bearing the knowledge in mind of what kind of power Draco held over his head in his position. Draco crossed his arms over his chest where his heart raced furiously within, the smirk unmoved from his face, "Scared, Boyle?"

"Did I ask for your opinion on what's best for my boys?"
"I suppose not," Severus replied in a slow-spoken way, actually his favorite kind of way. He could tell that it irked Draco that he had brought that up. If Severus had to guess, Callum Malfoy's lack of talent, which didn't go for potions only but also for any other subject that would require an interest in dedicating himself to his magical skills - so he had heard at least -, was not the main problem, but instead, it probably was the boy's lack of interest in anything that would link him with his bloodline. Still full of pride and arrogance, Severus thought as he eyed Draco in silence. And yet was he, in some way, proud to see what had become of him.
"I'm sure he'll be thankful to be out of your ridiculous class. And yes, I've seen his first term transcript. He doesn't seem to be learning much from you anyway,"
Severus came up with a false smile but didn't say anything to that. Pride and arrogance. Undoubtedly a Malfoy. He was almost amused about this sudden relapsing into a behavior that was more likely of the boy he once had tutored. Naive and obnoxious, yet still had Severus never given up on that boy, although the reason for that had primarily arisen from the fact that he once was befriended with his father Lucius.
"Look at you, seeming all presumptuous like nothing can touch you,""Yet, Ogden's not here to save you. You're nothing more than a tiny bug on the ground just waiting to be squashed. I think it's time Boyle learned how to respect his superiors,""Scared, Boyle?"
At this point, Severus' amusement had actually faded and even transformed into anger on his part as well. Enough was enough, and Draco here was stretching a point. For a little moment, Severus even forgot himself and his disguise.
Suddenly, Severus grabbed that priggish boy he saw in him right this moment by the collar of his robe and pressed him against the wall. "Oh, it must be frustrating, Draco, to not have control over the situation, at least not to an extent that would justify your empty threats of a suspension. So, what we're doing instead is flinging preposterous remarks about, isn't it?"
Just when Severus realized that he had done and said things he probably shouldn't, although he felt like they had to be said, something drew his attention away from Draco and instead toward outside the window next to his head. His body and facial expression remained in his posture while only his eyes changed their direction of view. What in the world was this sudden heavy storm outside? He could have sworn the weather had been rather calm only seconds ago.

Draco winced defensively as he was suddenly grabbed by the collar. Anyone being taunted by a Malfoy would be expected to eventually snap, and it didn't take Boyle long before Draco had finally made him crack. He wriggled as he tried to fight Boyle's grasp, however in that moment the adrenaline appeared to get the best of the professor as he didn't give Draco any sort of chance to kick back. Before he knew it, Boyle had him pinned against the wall in a fashion that felt all to familiar to him. Suddenly, Draco was a sixth year again in a darkened hallway being harshly scolded by the very man who swore to protect his life. Foolish and naïve he had been back then, too wrapped up in his own antics to realize the true severity of the situation. Too selfish to realize just how much Severus Snape had truly laid down on the line for him.
"Oh, it must be frustrating, Draco, to not have control over the situation, at least not to an extent that would justify your empty threats of a suspension. So, what we're doing instead is flinging preposterous remarks about, isn't it?"
Boyle had shaken Draco to his core to the point where he was rendered completely speechless. It had been a very long time since someone had worked up the nerve to put him in his proper place. Decades, even. Draco quivered, cowering in his collar that Boyle gripped onto tightly still. All of a sudden the atmosphere shifted as the noise of branches crashed against the glass of the window nearest them, and almost in sync did their eyes dart over to inspect what was going on outside. They had been so involved in tearing each other down that they had grown unaware of the storm that had been brewing outside of the castle walls. The Whomping Willow in the near distance appeared to be angrier than usual as it noticeably thrashed it's branches into the ground surrounding it. Draco's gaze narrowed in on the violently bothered tree and it took him a moment to realize what was causing the tree so much anguish.
"Is that...a student? Under the Whomping Willow?" Still in Boyle's grasp, Draco's face grew as white as a ghost as he spoke with disbelief of what he was seeing and figured the second opinion with the spectacles would be able to confirm exactly what he was seeing.

Although Severus had just shown Draco that he wasn't to outdo so easy - in a way that could prove it, at that - it didn't give him any satisfaction in this very moment. Not only because he simply wasn't one who would permanently seek that or be driven by it; not even because the raging storm outside was drawing both their attention away from this strife; but instead because it simply didn't matter. It had been fun for a while to battle Draco Malfoy while that one had no idea who he actually was talking to, but Severus saw no reason for going on with that if there was only the slightest chance they didn't have to. There was a reason for him being here, and he was still far from having a moment where there wouldn't be a Malfoy or anyone else following each of his steps like some kind of parasite.
"Is that...a student? Under the Whomping Willow?"
Draco's voice suddenly drew his attention back towards the here and now and finally back to outside the window. Well, not only was it probably foolish to think that he might get away so easy but also was he someone to not just let a tragedy happen when he saw one. He seriously doubted that Draco would be able to manage the Whomping Willow all on his own since he was seeing him still more like the sort of guy that let others do the work for him. Besides, most of the students had been on the Hogsmeade trip for a while already. He couldn't risk getting seen while he lurked around corridors that led to forbidden rooms, especially not after just having gotten himself allowed to stoop to Draco's level and attend in the little games of his. It would now probably take a good while to get off his shitlist. Giving him a helpful hand might be the only way to get started on it. Well, terrific, as if he hadn't wasted enough time here in Hogwarts already...
Slowly Severus let off of Draco - until now not even having realized that he still had a grip on him - although still standing close. "We probably don't want to waste any more time then," Severus replied, back to his calm self again. "Or are we scared, Malfoy?" he then added with a mischievous smile, after all, referring to the end of Draco's former little speech full of bumptiousness. It might be true that Severus didn't seek these fights in the first place, yet still, he couldn't help but relish them when they were already there. However, being aware of the urge of this situation, he left Draco no time to react to his mocking words but instead started rushing down the corridor to head outside, assuming that Draco would be following.

"We probably don't want to waste any more time then," "Or are we scared, Malfoy?"
Draco yanked the rest of himself away just as Boyle finally allowed his fingers to slip away from his collar. Patting out any kinks in his attire, Draco was still fairly taken aback by Boyle's new demeanor that made a surprise reveal as a result from the poking and prodding Draco had committed at the professor's expense. He had heard his own silly taunt being thrown back at his face, yet for a moment he stood blankly in front of Boyle as he caught his barring. He blinked a few times in disbelief before before giving Boyle a heaping of sneer pie.
"You wish," Draco spoke in pure annoyance now, and just as he was about to head down the corridor in the direction of the exit to the path that would take him towards the Whomping Willow, Boyle headed on first. Draco continued to trail after him with a widened expression of surprise. So this new professor was adamant on making such a mark on the school that he was eager enough to take on the Whomping Willow head first? Draco snickered to himself. The bloke most likely had just as much experience as Draco did with the angry tree, as Draco had chosen to stay clear of it's path for the entirety of his student career. Though, Draco didn't stop him nor did he question him. If Boyle wanted to die today looking like the school hero, it wouldn't be on Draco's hands.
