Chapter 2:
Tess woke up the next morning but didn't open her eyes because she heard voices around her that she didn't recognize. While listening to the voices she tapped into her voice cataloger and found out who the voices belonged to:
Albus Dumbledore
Minerva McGonagall
Severus Snape
Hermione Snape nee Granger
Poppy Pomfrey
Ok, I know who they are I read about them while reading about Magic in Hogwarts: A History Past and Present (the self-updating version). Now, where am I? I think I am on a bed...Yep definitely a bed, but where? Like usual the answer just popped in her head Hogwarts. YES! I am finally somewhere I will be accepted and where I will be understood for who I am!
Tess saw the image if where everyone was standing. They had their backs to her. Good. She turned herself invisible and walked in the middle of their little social circle. Suckers. I'm gonna scare the heck out of them! So, with the swish of her hand she turned visible again, and as expected all of the people present drew their wand and fired stunning spells. Good thing I put up that shield before. Tess looked around at everyone and then burst out in laughter, until she came face to face with Severus Snape.
"You!" Tess said through her teeth while glaring at him. "You're the one that stunned me for no good reason! Listen carefully, buddy! I. Am. Not. Someone. To. Mess. With." The room began to stir and gusts of wind began to move, spinning around Tess like a tornado. She had her fists clenched and her eyes were glaring daggers into Snape. The room was getting darker like it would with a storm. There were sparks coming from her, and dark clouds were forming above. Her magic was so strong that the magic coming off of her was forming lightning in the clouds.
Snape carefully stepped forward and grabbed her wrist and yanked her off to the side, "Listen carefully little girl, you will not speak to me like that. I sent a stunner to defend myself after you attacked me. You will show me respect. Is. That. Clear?"
"Crystal." And with that she yanked her wrist out of Snape's hand and ran from the room.
"Severus," Hermione started "What did you say?"
"I merely told her about respect"
"Yes but did you have to be so rough? She seemed upset when she ran out of here. Speaking of which we are going to go find her." She turned to the group, "If you will excuse us, me and Severus are going to find the little one." With that they exited the hospital wing in search of Tess.
Somewhere in the Castle:
Tess was speaking to herself, "Everywhere I go, everywhere I go I am treated like I am some little girl who doesn't know anything and just wreaks havoc everywhere she goes." The Snapes came up the steps to find here in the Owlery talking to herself, petting the owls. Severus was about to say something but Hermione stopped him before he could. "I will never be accepted. Even now that I am somewhere they train you to use magic I am not accepted as who I am, I am treated like a stupid little girl, an outcast."
"Severus go apologize to the little one."
Severus went to talk to girl that is now sitting in the corner.
"Listen little one,"
"Little one?"
"It's a nickname my wife has taken to calling you, like it?"
"It's catchy."
"Good, now listen I am sorry for being so harsh with you today, it's just in my nature."
"That's ok I'm used to it, see back at the orphanage I was an outcast I got treated harshly frequently. It's nothing new."
"None of that matter my behavior was uncalled for and I am sorry."
"You know, you are the first person to ever be nice to me after I lost my temper. Let alone apologize."
"It is my pleasure. Now come on little one we need to have a talk with the Headmaster."
"Ok but first, introduce me to your wife."
"Tess this is my wife Hermione Snape brightest witch of her age, but I believe that she will be replaced soon."
Tess smiled, "Nice to meet you Hermione! I've read a lot of you."
"It is nice to formally meet you too Tess, I've read a lot of your magic."
"Want me to demonstrate?" Tess smirked put a hand on both Hermione and Severus's shoulders and the 'popped' into the Headmaster's office. They were quite stunned because they both know apparation is restricted and impossible within the walls of Hogwarts.
"How did you do that?" They said at the same time.
"Magic." Tess said simply with a shrug. They made their way up to the Headmaster's office using the winding staircase and soon entered the office and came face to face with the whole of the teaching staff of Hogwarts.
