Chapter 2: Going To Diagon Alley
The next morning Morrigan woke up and bathing, she put her robe on and headed to Snape's office. She was taken there by the Prefect since she didn't know where it was located. The Prefect knocked on the door and a cold voice said, "Enter." The Prefect opened the door and motioned Morrigan to enter.
"Ah, Miss Potter," Snape said, "I was told that you were in need of my help."
"Do you need me, Professor?" the Prefect asked.
"No, I can take over from here," Snape told her and the Prefect left. "Miss Potter, do you know it's against Hogwarts rules to not come with your supplies."
"No, sir, I didn't," Morrigan answered. "I was just lucky to be able to come that I didn't argue when Uncle Vernon told me that he wasn't going to pay for me to learn magic."
She saw Snape giving her a look but thankfully he made no biting comments.
"I will be taking you to Diagon Alley to get your things, including anything that you might be lacking," Snape told her. "Professor McGonagall will be assisting me since you need, um, girl things."
Morrigan could almost laugh when she saw Snape going pink.
"Thank you but I don't really need that much stuff," Morrigan told him.
"I will decide what you need or don't need," Snape told her, "As your Head of House it will be my responsibility to make sure that you have it."
"Yes, sir," Morrigan said.
"And don't complain when me and McGonagall buy you something," Snape added.
"Yes, sir," Morrigan repeated.
Snape got up and motioned Morrigan to follow him. He stopped to get a cloak out and then they left his office.
Morrigan was surprised to see that McGonagall was already there. When they approached her Hermione came out of the Great Hall, smiling at her.
"Have a great time, Morg," Hermione told her.
"Thanks," Morrigan said to her.
"Are we ready to go," Snape asked them.
"I believe so," McGonagall said, "Come, Miss Potter; you'll see Miss Granger soon."
Morrigan waved to Hermione and then left.
The trip to Diagon Alley was done with side-along Apparition. The whole thing made Morrigan want to throw up but, thankfully, she managed to keep her stomach in. McGonagall gave her a sandwich so that she would have something to eat and then it was off to get her things. They first took her to Madam Malkin Robes for All Occasions and got her fitted for her new robes. Morrigan was nervous about being fitted because she would have to reveal the scars on her arms. However, the look on Madam Malkin's face told her that she better remove her robes.
When she did she saw the shocked looks on Snape and McGonagall's faces. She turned away, not wanting them to see her on the verge of tears. When the robe was placed over her head, the scars vanished from sight, and the woman started to pin them to the right length. While she was being fitted Morrigan saw Snape putting gloves, scarves, and other things on the table. When she was finished, she put on her robe, and everything was totaled up and Morrigan watched as Snape wrote something down on a slip of parchment and handed it to her.
"Hope that you have a good day," Madam Malkin told them.
"Let's get going," Snape told Morrigan and they left.
The next shop sold ink, quill, and parchment. Both Professors insisted that Morrigan had at least ten quills, five ink bottles, and several books of parchment. Morrigan didn't complain but allowed them to pay for what they thought she needed. The next shop sold books and Morrigan at once ran to a bookshelf that sold books that were about hexes and curses.
"You can't have them until sixth year," Snape told her while McGonagall got her books that she needed for her classes.
Morrigan put it back, not saying anything.
"If you want something that will help you out then get a book that will help you in History of Magic," Snape suggested.
"Like what?"
"I'll show you," Snape said and he led her into the history section. "You can pick out three books from this section."
Morrigan nodded and started fingering through the spines. She decided on one that talked about the English Burning Times, one about the Founders, and another one about werewolves. She didn't know how werewolves ended up in this section but Snape did tell her that she could have three from this section. She placed the books on the table and the man rung it up. When they left Morrigan thanked them for the books.
"Do you like reading?" McGonagall asked.
"Yes, but the Dursley's hated it when I read. They said that it made me smarter than Dudley. Anyone is smarter then Dudley."
"I'm surprised that you passed your classes in muggle school," McGonagall told her.
"Muggle," Morrigan said, confused.
"I'm sure that you heard of the word," Snape said.
"No, I haven't," Morrigan told him. "The only thing that I know was that Aunt Petunia told me that my mother was a freak, like I am."
"Morrigan, you're not a freak," Snape told her.
"That's what Hermione told me when she let me borrow her robe," Morrigan told him.
"I think you should listen to her," Snape told her, "She seems to be filled with common sense."
They went into a shop that sold cauldrons and glass phials. Snape insisted on shatter-proof vials so that her potion wouldn't spill everywhere just in case someone tripped her. Morrigan nodded in agreement and allowed them to be bought and paid for. They broke for lunch, McGonagall buying what they wanted and then the three of them sat down and waited for the food.
"So what do you teach?" Morrigan asked her.
"I teach Transfiguration and I'm Head of Gryffindor House," McGonagall answered.
"Is that hard, Transfiguration?" Morrigan asked her.
"It can be hard if you don't study," Snape answered.
"Which is why Severus Slytherins always manage to do well on their exams," McGonagall told her. "So what do you think about Hogwarts?"
"It's different from my last school," Morrigan answered, "But I don't trust anyone in my house."
"Because of what happened," McGonagall commented.
"Yes, but I'm afraid that they'll turn on me," Morrigan told her, "When I was in school kids would make fun of me because of my name and because they were afraid that Dudley would think they liked me."
"Your name is a good name," Snape told her, "You shouldn't be ashamed of what your mother named you."
Morrigan stared at him and then said, "My mother named me."
"Yes, she did," Snape said.
"Your parents both decided that if you were a girl then Lily would decide what to name you and if you were a boy then your father would name you," McGonagall explained. "She named you after the goddess of war and death. I think it was fitting because you were born during war."
"Draco, mentioned that I was named after her," Morrigan said.
"Then he was right about something," Snape said.
When the food appeared no one said anything, just ate in silence. Morrigan had too many questions but she wasn't sure if she was ready to ask them. When they were done eating she followed them to get the rest of her things. By time they were done shopping she was dead tired and all Snape was saying was that he was looking forward to getting back. Morrigan thought this was due to the fact that McGonagall dragged him into a shop that sold things for witches. Two hours of having Morrigan try on training bras was probably more than her Head of House could take.
Morrigan thought the whole thing was funny.
When they finally got back to Hogwarts she took her things back to her dorm and unload her things. She found the room filled with students that were working on their assignments. Snape placed her trunk at the foot of her bed and told her that he expected her to be on-time for her classes.
"Yes, sir," Morrigan said.
"Then I'll see you later," Snape told her and then he left.
Morrigan spent hours putting her robes away and stacking her books in a neat pile. She was putting her quills away when Millicent came in with a plate of food and a cup of something to drink.
"I suspected that you hadn't eaten," Millicent told her, "So I got permission to bring you some food."
"Thanks," Morrigan said and she sat down and accepted the food, then ate.
"So do you have everything that you need?" Millicent asked her.
"Yes," Morrigan answered, after she had swallowed. "Professor Snape; told me that he expects me to be in class. So what did you have today?"
"History of Magic, Magically Theory, and Charms, with the Ravenclaws," Millicent answered, "There are some in Charms that are good. You can borrow my notes, if you want, for History."
"Thanks," Morrigan said.
"I'll get them for you," she told her and soon Morrigan had them.
Morrigan spent an hour writing down the notes that Millicent had written. It was hard, as she had never used a quill before. However, she managed to make decent notes that she could read and she returned Millicent notes back to her. Millicent put them back in her trunk and left Morrigan alone to read her books.

"I trust that you had no problems shopping for Miss Potter," Dumbledore said when Severus and Minerva arrived to report what had happened.
"Albus, do you honestly think that there weren't any problems," Minerva told him, "Albus, that child was sorted into Slytherin when both of her parents were in Gryffindor. Do you think that's not strange?"
"It must be a reason."
"Then explain the reason?" Severus asked.
"It must be due to her exposure to Lord Voldemort."
Both Severus and Minerva flinched.
"I think it might have something to do with the fact that she was raised by the Dursley's," Severus told him, "It's apparent that she was abused by them."
"And why do you think that?"
Severus gave him a look that told him that if looks could kill Dumbledore would be dead. Finally he said, "I knew Petunia when she was a child and she was spiteful. I wouldn't put it past her to marry someone that was just as hateful about anything that's different. The fact that we had to buy her a full wardrobe, supplies, and other things tells me that what Miss Granger told me was the truth. They allowed her to go as long as she didn't ask for anything on the list."
"And what do you want me to do, Severus?"
"How about thinking about the choices that you made and how they've affected others," Severus asked, "Or is that beyond your understand."
"I did care about how this affected her."
"Then explain why Morrigan was force to live with people that hate people like us," Minerva said.
"I thought the Dursley's would treat her like one of their own," Dumbledore told her, "Apparently, I was wrong."
"Apparently," Severus sneered.
"I'll have Kingsley and Moody check on her home life," Dumbledore told them. "Is that good enough?"
"That's a start," Severus told him, "And you can also add that you're sorry that you placed her with magic hated relatives."
And both Severus and McGonagall left Dumbledore's office.

A/N: Thanks for the following that I've gotten from everyone. Also there will be some Ron bashing in this story because he doesn't like Morrigan for being in Slytherin. This will have a direct effect on the second year.
