DISCLAIMER: I do not own anything that looks familiar, this all belongs to J.K. Rowling. The character of Jane Groenhorst is mine though.
Reviews are love! This is my first Fanfiction story...
Chapter two: Meeting of minds
SPOV
Finally the feast has ended, now Albus will introduce us to the first years and state the general rules. Then send the students to their dormitories and after my annual speech to the Slytherin first years I finally can enjoy my last dunderhead-free night. "Professor Severus Snape, Potions master and Head of Slytherin" that's my cue. I give a curt nod to the students, but then my eyes lock with hers. I was mesmerised, she was the first person who did not look away from my gaze. I wondered what she was thinking. Well I am a trained legilimence, I can just take a look and find out.

I felt something probing the outer layers of my mind. It must be him I am sure of it. I pretend not to notice that he trying to read my thoughts and let him wonder around in my mind. Always making sure that he only saw and heard what I wanted him to see and hear. From my personal studies I had learned that Legilimency is not a skill that many magical folk master, so he probably never even thought about the possibility of me mastering Legilimency and Occlemency. Especially Legilimency seemed to come in handy in the muggle world, where no one notices what you are up to. And so I let the professor scan through my mind, showing him images of my journey to Hogwarts, my sorting, the food and the reactions of my fellow Ravenclaws after they learned that I do not own a wand. And then I showed him himself as we our gazes met and inserted the thought: "He must be as bored as I am." I saw him smirk at this thought, and I broke eye contact. We both had had our fun. "And with that I would like to conclude this evening. I wish you all goodnight. First years please follow your prefect he or she will show you to your dormitories." Everyone started to get up and make their way up or down to their dormitories. I also got up and tried to find the Ravenclaw prefect. "Just a minute Miss Groenhorst." I turned around and approached Dumbledore and the other teachers who were still sitting at the high table. "Yes sir?" "Miss Groenhorst." This was the third time he used my last name and it was quite clear that my Dutch name proved to be quite a challenge for speakers of English. "Please sir call me Jane, or Miss Jane if you insist on using titles, I understand that my name is not very easy for the English tongue." "Very well Miss Jane, I wanted you to stay for another minute or so to discuss some important matter at hand. I understand that you do not own a wand?" The other professors gasped in shock. "That is correct sir, it was the only thing that I could not order by mail." "Well first things first, you should buy a wand tomorrow. Filius, since you are this young lady's Head of house, would you be so kind as to escort her to Diagon Alley tomorrow?" "I am terribly sorry Albus, but I have classes to teach tomorrow." "Alas, is there anyone who does not have to teach tomorrow?"

"He must be as bored as I am," I heard her think. I smirked, spot on Miss Groenhorst, spot on. Then all of the sudden she broke eye contact. Finally Albus has finished his speech. "Just a minute Miss Groenhorst." She approached the high table, her golden hair flowing behind her, she was speaking to Albus, but the only thing I heard was "call me Jane." Apparently she did not own a wand, well at least that explained her wandless magic. "Well first things first, you should buy a wand tomorrow. Filius, since you are this young lady's Head of house, would you be so kind as to escort her to Diagon Alley tomorrow?" Thank Merlin that I am not the girl's Head of house, I do not think I could manage being alone with her. "Alas, is there anyone who does not have to teach tomorrow?" Albus turned his gaze towards me, his eyes twinkling like stars, I wonder what he is up to. "Severus I believe you do not have any classes tomorrow?" …
