Wordmaker123: It's not really going to be a James/OC. More of a Severus/Oc I think. In the chapters to come you will understand more of Olives past.

Enjoy!
I can feel my heart beating wildly in my chest. I think I hear Ms Norris meowing but I hope its just my imagination. Darkness fills the room and my candle which is soon about to run out is the only source of light.
"Not this one, or this one."
I mutter as I skimm through the musty books. I am currently in the restricted section, in the middle of the night looking for a book that is crucial for our plan. Now you might wonder why a goody two shoes like me had even considered the idea of entering the restricted section without a note. I was very doubtful at first but I convinced myself that James face when the plan was set in action would be worth anything. Even breaking the rules and possibly getting expelled.
"Aha!" I say triumphantly as I find a withered book with squiggly text saying `Potions of Revenge´ hidden in the darkest corner of the bookshelf.
I quickly flip through the pages not wanting to be here any longer than necessary.
Imperia or Imperioso is a potion with similar effect as the imperius curse. There are only a select few wizards and witches in the world who know this potion even exists therefore it has not been classified as an unusable or a banned potion. The ingredients needed for this potion are...
It is all the information I need before I say
"I'm so sorry book, forgive me" and rip out the page, disappearing into the darkness.
We had been able to convince Slughorn to give us the afternoon in the potions classroom to work on an "extra" project.
Slughorn had just beamed with pride at two of his best students doing extra projects in their spare time.
"Hmm it's quite a complicated potion." Severus conducted as he read through the instructions for the potion.
"I'll be able to make it." He said arrogantly as he went around in the potions classroom collecting the the things he would need.
He set up the cauldron and started cutting up toad tongue.
"How long will it take?" I asked.
"About five days since it has to set for quite a while." He answered focused on the potion.
I smiled inwardly. Only five days and then I would be able to get my revenge.
He finished the potion and placed it in a shadowy shelf to set.
"Dinner?"
Severus stomach answered for him with a loud growl and we walked to the Great Hall.
"So" I said as we sat down at the Slytherin table.
"You like potions?"
He raised his eyebrows.
"You think?"
"Yeah, okay I guess that was a stupid question" I smiled at him.
Even if he was pretty mean sometimes I felt that when you got to know him a bit you could learn to appreciate his snarky remarks.
"You going back home for winter break?"
His face turned dark and he looked down at his plate.
"No."
I could see that he was hiding something and a part of myself wanted to know what it was.
"Okay. Me neither." He raised his face and stared at me.
I met his frustrated eyes with mine. Trying to communicate with him that he could talk to me.
I knew he wouldn't spill and he picked around with his fork lazily.
"You done?"
He didn't answer just stood up and left the table.
Well there crumbles the little piece of friendship I had built up.
I didn't really see Severus for a couple of days I guess he was busy with the potion or something. If I saw him in lessons I would try to strike up a lesson but being the friendly person he was he would just turn around and continue with his work.
I thought he had given up hope in the plan until one lunch he scooted over to me and whispered
"It's ready."
Time to put the the first part of the plan in action.
I walk over to the giggly girls at the Slytherin table. They are so caked in makeup and their perfume is so strong that I have to keep myself from retching.
"Hey, who here is Cassiopeia?"
A girl with hair the colour of polished silver down to her waist answers me with a yes.
"Could I talk with you for a moment?"
She looks a bit sad about leaving the "cool" people but she follows me to an empty classroom.
I close the door and to make sure that nothing is heard I whisper "Silencio."
I motion for her to sit down and we sit opposite each other by a mahogany desk.
"As I take it you've been together with James Potter?"
A flash of hurt enters her eyes and she nods her head.
"I was wondering if you would care to tell me how it was?"
A shiny tear glides down her cheek.
"He just played around with me." She gets out between tears.
"He told me I was special and then he, he just left me."
She breaks down and I move to comfort her.
When she has calmed down I ask her if she would like to get back at James.
"Yes." She says her demeanour changed to one of anger.
"Okay the only thing you need to do..."
Cassiopeia walks back to her friends and when I sit down at my seat I can hear her telling them that James is a player, not to be trusted if you don't want to get your heart broken. Soon everyone will know the truth about James. Even Lily. This is only the beginning.
