Info: Rikkailia is the new girl in Hogwarts. But what she doesn't know is that she was born in a strange family that she never knew. Since she was 3 years old, Rikki has been living with Severus Snape, Hogwarts' Potions teacher. She lost her memory at a young age, so she struggles throughout her years at Hogwarts to regain them, revealing dark secrets of her family past.
Rikki hurried down the hall, late for her first class, the one she dreaded the most, Potions. She opened the door as quietly as she could and tiptoed to her seat in the back of the room. She didn't mean to, but she plopped her books down on the desk, out of habit, and the sound edchoed throughout the entire classroom.
"Nice of you to finally join us, Ms. Kaspian." Professor Snape said, sighing at the sixth years tardyness. Rikki frowned, her bright orange hair falling in ringlets over her big emerald green eyes. She immediatly opened her book to the page that her neighbor, Draco Malfoy, was on. He scoffed at her.
"Stupid mudblood..." He grumbled uner his breath. Rikki heard him, so she stood up, her chair making that ghastly screeching noise, and she grabbed her book and smacked Draco in the back of the head. The book made a thwap noise, which made Professor Snape turn from the blackboard in their direction.
"Don't you ever call me that ever again Draco Malfoy! I am not afraid to hurt you ya know!" She shouted; her voice getting hoarse but her words flowing that moment, Professor Snape threw the piece of chalk in his hand directly at Rikki, nearly hitting her in the middle of the forehead. Good thing she ducked.
"Severus, what was that for?" She cried out in shock. All the students turned towards her, for they have never heard a student call a Professor by their first name. Severus glared at her, walked over to her desk and hit her with his text book. She winced in pain.
"Owww... Professor that wasn't nice!" She grumbled, rubbing the now painful part of her skull. Severus grabbed her wrist and pulled her out in the hallway. he was obviously mad, because when he started talking, or more like yelling, he was using her full name.
"Rikkailia Jane Kaspian, what the bloody hell are you doing, calling me Severus? During school hours?" He shouted quietly, knowing the students were most likely listening. Rikki cringed at her full name. She hated it, she thought it sounded... well, dumb. She sighed and shurgged her shoulders.
"Sorry Da- Professor Snape, it's just a force of habit, calling everyone by their first name." She frowned and looked down at her feet, which kicked nothing. Severus frowned and face palmed. He looked at how sad she really was. He rested a hand on her shoulder and began talking softly.
"Look, Rikkailia, I know you are going through a hard time right now, and I completely understand that, but you can't just go around beating up other students." He ruffled her hair and they both walked back into the classroom. There were whispers here and there. Rikki sighed, knowing she had to go back and sit next to Draco. Just as she was setting her books down on the desk, Professor Snape called out to her.
"Rikkailia, switch seats with Goyle. Your new partner is Mr. Weasley." He said, poitning to the front desk. She heard giggles everywhere. Did he have to say her full name out loud? It was probably payback for calling him Severus during class. Goyle stood up and passed Rikki, slamming his shoulder against hers, making her books and papers spilling out of her hands all across the floor. She frowned as everyone laughed but Harry and Ronald.
"Stupid Goyle..." She mumbled as she got on her knees, picking up the papers. Professor chuckled quietly; he must have heard Rikki's little comment. As she reached for her Potions book, she felt a hand brush against hers. She looked up and saw Ronald, and she began to blush.
"Oh, sorry." Ronald said quietly, quickly grabbing the remaining things from the floor and nervously handing them to Rikki, and sitting back in his seat. She nodded slightly, taking her new seat next to the other red head. As Severus continued his boring speech on a potion Rikki couldn't remember the name of, she took a glance at Ronald, who had decided to take a glance at her at the same time. Rikki immediately looked straight forward, covering her face in her hair and putting her Potions book up to hide her softly red face from Severus. Just as Severus was about to give a pop quiz, the bell rang and everyone immediately got up and booked it out of class.
Rikki slowly gathered her new pile of messy papers and her books and slowly walked out of the classroom, going directly to her room since they were finished with classes for the day.
