Antheia POV

My brown eyes fluttered open. My head hurt so much. I groaned and tried to cover my eyes when I felt something or someone grip my wrist. I look to see Hermione looking worriedly at me. I smiled at her, she didn't smile back. "Come on, Mione. I'm in the hospital and you can't give me a smile?" She pursed her lips before letting out a giggle, I joined in with her. That was before I saw the two twins come running in.

"Fred! George!" They grin at me and hug me. Then it struck me. "Hey, why am I in the hospital wing?" I turn to Hermione and she smiles nervously. The twins inform me instead. "You faced He Who Must Not Be Named! You did some pretty powerful stuff and then I think it was Draco who threw the philosopher's stone at you?" George explained and Fred gave him a weird look. "That's not what happened you idiot! She fell over in pain and passed out" George rolled his eyes whilst mumbling under his breath. "My version was better..."

I smiled at Hermione bore looking around, confused. "Where's Ron and Harry?" Hermione frowned. "They got detention for going into forbidden parts of the forest, they're both really worried about you though" I smiled at her. "Why didn't I get detention?" Hermione and the twins chuckled. "I think Professor Snape is too afraid of you" I grinned. "Hell yeah! Wait! Where's Aneira?!" I panicked and Fred held out his arm and my stunning ferret jumped into my lap as I sat up.

"Hey there Aneira, did you miss me?" I cooed at my pet as she licked my nose and I tickled her stomach. I looked at the clock and gasped. "It's Five already?!" Hermione chuckled nervously. "Um...Antheia, you were asleep for three days, you still have your..." She trailed off and I now noticed my wings tail and horns.

I blush and whisper to them. "You don't hate me...do you?" The three of them gave me confused looks before smiling. Hermione took my hand before hugging me. "We would never hate you, you're one of our best friends" the twins nodded before speaking in unison. "Yeah, your like the sister we've always wanted" "I mean, Ginny is okay..." "But you're actually fun!" I chuckled. "I'll take that as a compliment..." I sighed before looking at my hand.

When I noticed my ring missing, I began to panic. "Where is it?! Where's the ring?!" I check everywhere before Hermione calmed me down. "Antheia! Calm down! Dumbledore took it for safe keeping. You can get it back at dinner" I sighed in relief. Frowning, my wings droop. "How am I going to hide these? And I can't wear my robes with these?" Hermione smiled. "Dumbledore said you could change your uniform so it would fit better" I nod.

Hermione passes me my uniform and with a flick of my hand, my uniform replaced my dress, (and I sent Aneira to my dorm room) with holes for my wings and tail. I smile but Hermione stares at my ears. "What is it?" She points to my ears. "You're ears...they're like an elf's, they've changed" I gasped and conjure a mirror.

I smile at this and see a tribal tattoo on them. I then notice the necklace hanging from my antlers. I pick it up and smile. On it was a snake charm. I place it on with ease. Hermione then notices my waterfall for hair and gasps. She puts her hand through it and saw that it just continued flowing. She grins and the twins inspect me too.

"Say...Antheia, what would happen if we pull your tail?" I glare at them. "Don't even try" they snicker and try to touch it when I swiftly move it away and smack their hands with it, walking away with a smirk. I noticed that we had a few minutes to spare before dinner would start.

I walked as fast as I could, hoping to get the ring from Dymbledore before anyone could see me. Unfortunately, everyone saw me. They all whispered about me, the twins tried to cheer me up but I was too depressed and embarrassed to smile. Some people were glaring at me. I saw a certain blonde and sighed. I knew I would have to thank him for helping me to the hospital. I moved towards him.

Had wasn't facing me and his two henchmen screamed at the sight of me. Draco gasped and backed away before getting closer. I gripped my right arm. "I just wanted to say thank you...for helping me to the hospital wing..." I look down at me feet and start to turn away when he grabs my hand.

"Wait... I've been thinking and I want to start over? Friends?" I smile and shake his hand. "Friends" I soon make my way back over to Hermione. The twins had dissapeared and so we made our way to the great hall. We opened it and saw that nobody was here except some teachers.

I saw that Dumbledore wasn't here and was about to leave when Professor McGonagall called for me. I sigh and beg Hermione to come with me. I smile at her as she follows me. I walk up to the Transfiguration teacher and lower my head slightly. "You want to speak with me?" She smiled and seemed like she couldn't contain her excitement. "Oh! I have great news Antheia!" You smile and Hermione hears someone call for her outside and leave.

McGonagall held my by my shoulders as she lead me to Professor Filius Flitwick. I smile and wave at the music teacher. "it is told that Faeries such as yourself have extrodanary vocal chords, he would like you to join the school's choir." I tilt my head in thought before nodding. "Okay, but can we try Acapella?" The music teacher smiles and and speaks through his thick moustache. "I'm sure we can come to an arrangement"

McGonagall then moves me to Madam Hooch. "And Madam Hooch wants you to try out for Quiditch, since you're in your second year, it won't be a problem." I frown. "I've always wanted to try out for Quiditch. Are you allowed to stand on your broom?" Madam Hooch smiles and nods at me.

I hear the doors opening and Dumbledore comes walking in. I grinned. "Headmaster Dumbledore! I was wondering if I could have my ring back?" I smile up at him and he smiles kindly before patting my shoulder. "I kept if for safe keeping. Here" he took it from his pocket and I slip it onto my hand, making my robes go back to normal as well as my appearance.

Dumbledore smiled at me. "Actually Antheia, I was hoping you wouldn't mind keeping your appearance in your birth form. You are at Hogwarts. It's what's inside that matters" I smile and switch the ring onto my left hand, my faerie qualities appearing. The bell rings out, signalling lunch and I make my way over to the Slytherin table. But I was grabbed by a large hand. It was Professor Snape. "You will be sitting with me from now on" I blinked. "Is that even allowed sir?"

"It is when I'm ordered to do it" He pushed me in the direction of the empty seat next to him. I was sat inbetween Snape and Hagrid. I hugged Hagrid and he chuckled, patting my back. I tuck my wings in so they wouldn't get in the way. I flushed as I could see many students look at me in shock and hatred.

Dumbledore made a speech about courage and was taking and giving points. He gave Harry, Ron and Hermione 50 points each for bravery and everyone clapped, except Snape. Then, Dumbledore turns to me. I swallow my fear as he asks me to stand out front. "Now, I don't do this but-" he turned and faced me. "I would like to request a performance for dinner tonight. Is that okay with you?" I stutter, trying to get the words out.

I see my friends cheering me on and I agree. I conjure a keyboard and a microphone. "Sorry, but it's not going to be a happy song...but try and enjoy it the same..." I say into the microphone and start playing the keyboard.

"Seems like it was yesterday when I saw your face

You told me how proud you were but I walked away
If only I knew what I know today
Ooh ooh

I would hold you in my arms
I would take the pain away
Thank you for all you've done
Forgive all your mistakes.

There's nothing I wouldn't do
To hear your voice again.
Sometimes I wanna call you but I know you won't be there

Oh, I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself by hurting you

Some days I feel broke inside but I won't admit
Sometimes I just wanna hide 'cause it's you I miss
And it's so hard to say goodbye when it comes to this, ooh, whoa

Would you tell me I was wrong?
Would you help me understand?
Are you looking down upon me?
Are you proud of who I am?

There's nothing I wouldn't do
To have just one more chance
To look into your eyes and see you looking back

Oh, I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself, oh, oh, oh.

If I had just one more day
I would tell you how much that I've missed you since you've been away

Oh, it's dangerous
It's so out of line
To try and turn back time

I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself by hurting you...
"

I feel a tear roll down my cheek. It was a song I wrote for my mother, who is not with me. I wipe my tears and make the two items dissapear. I make my way back to my seat next to Snape and keep my head down. I saw Professor Filius Flitwick smile at me and Dumbledore walked to the stand.

"Well, I think that deserves a round of applause, wouldn't you students?" The students cheered loudly, some whistling and some standing. I blushed at the applause and compliments. Hagrid gave me a thumbs up. "That was brilliant!" I smiled and fiddled with my fingers. Snape gave me a slow clap and I sweatdropped. 'Gee...thanks' I sighed to myself.

Soon, the plates filled with food and I sat there awkwardly. I didn't really need to eat since I could always feed on the air around me. Since each element gives me strength. I swing my legs and my friends laugh at me when Snape leans over to grab something infront of me. I was frowning. I really didn't want to be here.

Hagrid nudged me and handed me a peach, it was from the other side and I thanked him, taking a bite from it. I frown as its juices dribbled from my lips and I grabbed for a napkin to clean it and soon finish the delicious fruit. I then grabbed a drink of water and still sat awkwardly as I guzzled it down. I puffed out my cheeks and tapped my leg.

Why did I have to sit next to Snape? There could have been Dumbledore or McGonagall! But no! I have to sit next to the most boring and socially awkward wizard ever. I sigh. I began thinking about my father. I don't know the reason why he left me...I wish he didn't. He could come and rescue me from this boring school.

Sure, I've finally made some friends. But having to go back to my adoptive parents? I just wish I was dead. I bet being adopted by Snape would be a better option. But that would just be so awkward...thinking about it brought a grin to my face. And as if reading my mind, Snape started to talk. "You may be wondering why I brought you up here" I nodded. Why did he bring me up here?

"Well, I have had orders to release you from your current adoptive parents" I gasp, smiling. "Really? That's great news!" I would have hugged him but just the thought made shivers crawl up my spine. I suddenly thought and sighed. "What's the bad news..." I hoped that I wasn't going back to the orphanage.

Snape's frown deepened. "You shall be staying with myself until further notice" I twitched. I felt myself starting to loose consciousness. "Is that so..." I mumbled as I fell back in my chair, passed out.

~~TimeSkip~~

Today was our last day at Hogwarts and we were all going home tonight. I was frustrated so much about having to live with Snape so much that I had changed my teas formation just so I could pull at my hair. I even had Potions today! Last lesson too. I wanted to scream.

That was before Hermione hugged me. "Come on Anethia, surely he'll be better than your recent parents?" I groaned. "This is Snape we're talking about! There is no good side!" I cried dramatically. "Well...maybe he'll be so antisocial, you won't have to worry about having to talk to him?" I looked at Hermione in thought. "Maybe...okay. I'll send letters!" She smiled and we both walked into Potions.

I sat at the back, trying to have as much space from him as possible. Until he walked in and made me sit at the front. I was crying inside. I glared when Harry and Ron laughed at my pain. Most of Snape's speech I was writing down. I usually did this for all classes. Most teachers would try and trick us by asking us something so small and unimportant, that was in their speech the day before. So I was one step ahead of them.

We weren't put into pairs this time but had to recreate a potion that could change your hair colour. I was finished already and just waiting for something to happen. Seamus' potion had exploded in his face and I couldn't contain my laughter. Snape came over to me. "Miss Riddle. If you think you can laugh at another students poor attempt, let's see yours" I smirked. "Gladly" I took a sip and my hair suddenly turned into a bubblegum blue colour with pink swirls. I gasped at the colours and grinned. He mumbles something under his breath while writing something down.

The potion's effect lasts for an hour so I had a lot of people complimenting my hair by the time we had to leave. Unfortunately, instead of going to the train like everyone else, I had to go to the teacher's lounge and wait for Snape. I had Aneira resting on my shoulders and blowing at my hair. She liked how it blew away and came back again. I laughed at how easy she was to amuse.

I blew out a big breath as I carried my suitcase to the teachers lounge and knocked in the door. Professor McGonagall opened the door for me. She smiled at me and steeped aside so I could come in. "Severus? Miss Antheia is here" I smiled up at her. "Just call me Antheia, I don't mind at all, Professor" she smiled down at me.

"Are you nervous?" I laughed nervously. "Does it show?" She chuckled and noticed that I didn't have my faerie features. "Where are your-" I showed that the ring was on my right hand. "I thought that they would get in the way...whatever way of transportation we're going on" I chuckled and she smiled, sitting down next to me. "You're going on a carriage" I whistled.

"Where does Professor Snape live?" She grinned. "If my memory is right, I think Diagon Alley? I frowned. "I would have thought he would have been somewhere quiet and deserted..." She chuckled. "Even though Severus is, how do you say it?" I beamed as I gave her man adjectives. "Antisocial, boring, cold, lonely, depressing?" She snickered before saying "yes, well just because he is antisocial, doesn't mean that he doesn't like the company of others" I smiled.

"Are you suggesting that he wants me to live with him?" She smiled kindly. "Well, that's for you to find out" I nodded as we waited. It got so ridiculous that I mumbled under my breath. "For someone who's completely strict, you'd think he'd be on time" Professor McGonagall and Madam Hooch heard me and chuckled.

I blushed and lowered my head. After a few minutes Snape came in. I really wanted to shout "about time!" But thought against it. He mumbled an apology before saying goodbye to the other pfofessors. I waved goodbye and walked out of the room. I followed Snape outside and soon a carriage appeared. I gasped at the sight of the creature pulling the carriages.

They looked like Pegasus but their fur was stripped off. I placed my suitcase in the trunk before going round to pet the creatures. I smiled as one nuzzled closer to my hand. I was going to ask Snape what they were called when he called for me to get in the carriage. I rolled my eyes and stepped in.

"What are the creatures called that pull the carriage?" He looked at me like I head a second head. "They are called Thestrals. They're creatures that are only seen by wizards who have seen death" I frowned. I had seen my mother die before me, perhaps that was why I could see them. Wait, how did Snape see them? I frowned.

"My condolences" he looked up from his book he conjured. "What?" "Well, you said only people who've seen death can see them. And I repeate, my condolences" he smirked into his book. "What an excellent observation" I smiled. "Thank you" He then went back to his book and we sat there in silence.

The carriage set off and it hasn't been five minutes when Aneira climbed down from my shoulders and say in my lap. She stood on her back legs while using her front legs to try and climbe back up. I giggled as I soon realised she wanted to play. I held out my hand and she quickly ran up it and I held out my left arm, which she ran down on.

She did this for a few times before she began to hang from my arm. I giggled and disrupted Snape's reading. But I didn't notice and continued to play with Aneira. I hadn't notice Snape looking at me while I giggled and used my arms as ramps for my pet ferret. Aneira soon stopped and curled up in my lap. I smiled and stroked her thin fur.

She had trouble sleeping though and looked up at me with doughy eyes. I sighed as I completely forgot about the dark figure sitting across from me. I whistled the tune I knew from my heart and sang only one verse.

"I am a lost boy from Neverland
Usually hanging out with Peter Pan
And when we're bored we play in the woods
Always on the run from Captain Hook
"Run, run, lost boy," they say to me.
Away from all of reality
"

Soon, I heard the soft sounds of Aneira sleeping. I smiled and looked up only to see Snape looking at me. "What?" He shook his head. I panicked. What did I do?! I looked out the window and saw how gloomy the scenery was. A chuckle escaped my lips. It suited the mood perfectly.

Snape heard me. "What's so amusing?" I shook my head. "Nothing Professor" he sighed and put his book down. "Do not tell anyone I said this. But over the break, you may call me Severus" I smiled as I pet Aneira's fur. "Okay, Severus" he glared at his book as if to regret this desicion. I grinned in my mind, so he should be.

Snape POV

I finished my book and looked at the girl infront of me. She had fallen asleep a few hours ago and so did her pet ferret. I was thankful the annoying girl didn't snore. But I did have to admit, she looked peaceful when she slept. If only she stayed like that, she wouldn't be as loud and irritating.

I groaned when we had ridin over a large pothole, causing the faerie to jolt awake. Just when I was getting used to the silence too... Her brown eyes fluttered open and she yawned, stretching her arms. She looked out of the window and a grin was plastered to her face. She had seen the forest and I immediately knew what she was going to say.

"No. I have strict order to never let you out my sight" the girl frowned and crossed her arms. "Do I even get any freedom..." I chuckled in my mind. She was annoying, but she reminded me so much of Lily. We had come to a sudden halt, we had arrived.

Antheia POV

We had arrived and I sighed. I really didn't want to be left alone with Snape. The carriage didn't count because there was a man leading the Thestrals. I sighed as the doors opened. I got out first, Aneira snug in my arms. I walked around to the trunk and Aneira ran up onto my shoulder. I grabbed my suitcase and dragged it round to the front of the carriage where Snape was standing.

"So...where's your house?" He looked down at me with a cold stare before walking forward. I followed. "Never mind then" I rolled my eyes and we had turned into a dark, damn alleyway. What I thought was perfect for Snape. He opened a door that was hidden and he left it open so I could walk inside. He looked back at me as if to say "shut the door on your way in". I shut it gently and saw Snape's bags in the room.

I stood awkwardly by the door. I noticed the dreariness of the decor. It was mostly black and brown. There were stairs to the left of the door and a room straight ahead, which I guessed was the living room. It had only one brown leather chair and a black leather three seater. There was a TV but I didn't think he used it.

There was ornaments on a shelve above a fireplace. I saw photos as well. I saw one picture that made me confused. It was a picture of Snape and Harry's mother, Lily. I could see that, in the photo, Lily was oblivious to Snape's crush on her. I smiled and walked out. I didn't know where Snape was and saw that there was a door opened to what I presumed was the kitchen.

There was a rat on the floor. I screamed and tried to kill it. Aneira saw it and hissed, she jumped down from my shoulders and attacked it. I heard footsteps and Snape opened the door. The rag was trying to get away but a stood on its tail. Snape picked it up and seemed to glare at it.

"What are you doing in here?!" I didn't know if he was talking to me or the rat. I chose the first. "I was looking around..." He looked at me before scowling. "Yes well, you should have waited until I had told you you could come inside here! Your room is the one at the end of the hall" I quickly picked up Aneira and grabbed my suitcase before walking up the stairs. There was a door at the left, another a bit further along and then a dark door at the end of the hall.

I sighed and walked forward. I gently opened the door and saw a single bed and a wardrobe. The walls where a plain white while the bed sheets were a pale floral pattern. There was a cabinet with a mirror on the top and a desk in the corner. There was also an old fashioned clock hanging at the opposite side of my bed. I smiled. This was more than I got than back at my old house.

I placed my bag on the floor and set Aneira down on the bed where she instantly fell asleep. I shut the door and started to unpack. I had placed a spell on my suitcase so there was more in there than it seemed. It took me about half an hour to organise everything before I realised the time. It was nearly ten at night.

I had changed out of my robes and into my pyjamas. They were only a thick white button up shirt and a pair of pink fluffy trousers. I also had a stuffed rabbit that my mother gave me. She said her mother had given it to her and she wanted to give it to me. I treasured it as much as I treasure the ring. I heard a knock at my door and bit my lip.

I slowly opened the door and saw Snape standing in his robes still. He looked at my attire and frowned. "Just letting you know that I won't be around tomorrow, I have business to take care of. I'm sure you can manage to amuse yourself until I get back" I nodded and eagerly shut the door.

I slid down the door, groaning. Aneira saw me and jumped off the bed, crawling over to me. I stroked her before standing back up and laying on my bed. I smiled when she curled up next to me. "Goodnight mom. Night Aneira...night dad" I slowly shut my eyes, finally falling asleep.

A/N I know this chapter has been boring but there will be more interesting drama in the next chapter I swear!
