So Guys ^_^ I've gained a couple more followers sine last chapter, and I'm glad to know people like my FanFic so far. I love all of my readers sooo much, thank you for taking the time to read my work! Please Review after reading and tell me your thoughts. :)


"Hello Lord Slytherin, would it be possible for you to alert professor Snape that Camille Bristol, and Sophia Weaver are at his door?" she asked. Looking at the now sleeping girl in Elle's arms with red rimmed eyes, Salazar left his frame to inform the potions master. Not two minutes later the door swung open revealing the professor looking as stern as usual, but when he laid eyes on me laying in Elle's arms his eyes sparked in concern, and he waved Elle in. She was somewhat surprised to see that his quarters were actually quite warm and open but didn't comment on it.
"You can put her down on the couch Miss Bristol," nodding Elle tried placing me on the couch but as soon as she started to pull away I started to whimper in my sleep. Sighing, Elle pulled me close to her again before sitting down so I was basically sitting in her lap with my legs stretched over the rest of the couch. Elle still had her arms looped around my waist to keep me from falling off of the couch, and blushed slightly as I turned into her and placed my head in the crick of her neck. Wanting to speak to her professor but not wanting to wake me, she looked into her professors eyes making it quite clear that she had just dropped her extensive occlumency shields. He silently entered her mind she made her worry bleed into her thoughts as she replayed how almost every night I was plagued by nightmares so terrifying that I woke screaming bloody murder, and how I refused to talk about it. Although Elle was pretty sure she knew what they were about considering I often unknowingly yelled, "No please! Please! I'll be good! No!" Elle also showed Snape a time where she had seen me changing shirts and saw scars that criss-crossed on my back that looked like a belt and belt buckle had made them. She let the memory stream end and gently pushed the Professor out of her mind and he went willingly. As they both blinked, Elle mentally reconstructing her shields as he took in what he had seen. It was then that I began to move in Elle's arms, whimpering. Knowing a nightmare was starting, she summoned a vial of a dreamless sleep potion that she had ordered without her wand. She popped off the stopper and properly examined the potion. She sniffed it before grimacing and rolling her eyes in annoyance, she was about to banish the vial when it was taken from her hand and replaced with one obviously brewed by the Professor. She quickly roused me enough to get me to willingly swallow the potion before I dropped off into a more peaceful sleep.
"Thank you Professor," Elle smiled at the man, knowing it was okay to talk because I was under the potion's effects. Snape held up the vial with the obviously weak potion in it.
"Impressive Miss Bristol, not many fourth years would be able to identify the fact that this potion is in effective."
Blushing slightly Elle responded, "Thank you sir." Even though I had taken the potions I stiffened in my sleep and Elle swore in her mind she knew it wasn't a dream, but a vision. Worried she looked at her professor, "May I use some parchment Professor?" He nodded and summoned some parchment as well as a self-inking quill. As he put them in Elle's hand my eyes snapped open and she passed the parchment and quill to me. In an attempt to find a hard surface to draw on, I fell off the couch but ignored it and scooted over to the coffee table before starting to draw fluidly. My hair fell haphazardly across my face, so Elle leaned forward and gently swept it from my face and pulled it behind my ears. I looked up at her worriedly, so she plopped herself down next to me and took my free hand while watching intently for what the slowly appearing image on the parchment would reveal. As I finished up I barely had time to take in my latest drawing before succumbing to the potion once more. Elle looked at the scene depicted on the page, obviously a goblin hand held a dagger to a feminine arm and was drawing blood from her forearm. Elle searched the rest of the page and finally found what she was looking for a paper lay in the bottom right corner with the official Gringotts seal. Breathing a sigh of relief Elle looked up at her professor.
"I see you and your friend have a particular talent in common Miss Bristol." Elle blushed slightly but nodded.
"So she needs a blood test done sir?" She asked.
"Yes I shall be escorting her to Gringotts tomorrow to see if she has any magical next of kin to become her guardian."
Glancing down at me worriedly, she asked the Professor, "What if no one is found who is willing? What if they mistreat her? She's obviously been through a lot with her previous guardians. She was only with the Weavers for three years and they've barley gotten her back to normal"
"Then guardianship will be transferred to me until she becomes of age." Elle grinned at that.
"Good because if anyone were to hurt her, I don't know what I would do," Elle whispered brokenly.
"The password to the common room is Belladona Miss Weaver will need to be back here by 10:00 tomorrow and you may accompany us to Gringotts if you wish. Do you need assistance getting her back to her bed?" Snape asked gently, well, gently for him.
"Thank you sir, and yes, that would be appreciated." She replied. She didn't like showing weakness of any kind but she suddenly felt extremely tired. Snape nodded before standing and levitating me off of Elle. Elle stood and picked up the drawing before sliding it into her messenger bag and lifting the bag onto her shoulder. Snape led the way, his long strides hard for Elle to keep up with. About halfway there I began to struggle mid-air, obviously the potions effectiveness had been compromised by my vision. Elle lengthened her strides, ready to grab me to comfort me when the Professor suddenly swept my body from the air and into his arms. I instantly relaxed and Elle smiled inwardly at the warm glance the Professor gave me, he would make a good guardian. Luckily most people were still in the Great Hall for dinner so there was no one to see the Professor come in and carefully place me in my bed before nodding to Elle and leavening. Elle silently changed into pajamas and slid into her bed. Seeing me looking so vulnerable unnerved her, in the time she had known me, I had always been strong. Elle pulled this year's Defense book from her bag and began reading from where we were currently in, chapter four. She was soon immersed in the book in front of her. As she started chapter ten she finally registered her need for sleep and closed the book and promptly fell asleep.
Elle woke early as she had started to at around five thirty. She went and took an extremely long shower and by the time she came back I was awake. She told her about the blood test at Gringotts planned for today and that we needed to be to Snape's quarters by 10:00. I just nodded before heading to the bathroom I took a sheet and magically dried my hair, before changing from my tank top and sleep shorts, into a dark grey sweater and black jeans before slipping on some grey boots and concealing my wand. Elle, who was already dressed in a plain black fitted shirt and dark jeans, grabbed one of my plain black cloaks as well as her own. "Do you want to eat breakfast Sophia?"
I replied with a "Yeah," and a weak smile. Elle called Ivy, her personal house elf from home, and asked her to bring us some food. We ate in silence for a bit before I asked how I had ended up in bed asleep last night. Elle told me about going to Snape but leaving out the part where he carried me, not wanting to embarrass me more than I seemed to be. She could tell my mood was improving a bit, although I was obviously still upset. After eating, which mostly consisted of pushing the food around on my end, we left our room and walked through the common room in silence. About halfway there I silently entwined tour fingers together. I turned and smiled at Elle, "Thanks for being there for me yesterday." I said warmly.
"You're welcome Soph." Elle smiled back.
As they reached the Professor's quarters Salazar's portrait greeted them before opened to let them in. They entered the Professors quarters and were both marginally surprised to see him out of his usual teaching robes. He stood as they entered, wearing a white dress shirt and black pants. "Good morning Miss Wever, Miss Bristol," he said to them. He seemed to take in my appearance and seemed to decide I looked alright. He glanced in Elle's direction and she nodded slightly to let him know that her mental state was fine as well. "Seeing as Miss Weaver has never travelled by floo we'll have to walk down outside of the wards and then disapperate to Diagon Alley." We both nodded and turned to leave the Professors quarters. Luckily we met no one on our way down to the gates. As we exited the castle grounds Professor Snape told us to each grab one of his arms. The uncomfortable feeling of disapperation overtook us. We landed and I stumbled. I would have fallen but Professor Snape and Elle each grabbed one of my elbows to steady me. As I looked up I realized we were in a small alleyway. I quickly threw my cloak over my shoulder and Elle did the same. As we entered the Alley I immediately felt a bit overwhelmed. I flipped the hood of my cloak up to obscure my face from view, helping ignore the feeling of being watched I often got when in a crowd. We were soon at Gringotts and Snape requested a blood test. The goblin he was talking to quickly complied and we were led to a room were I finally put down my hood. The goblin, whose name was Gornuk, sat down ona seat behind the desk. Then her spoke, "The blood test will reveal a family tree, as well as detect if you have any type of enchantments on you Miss Weaver. Now if you would please present your arm, the blood must be willingly given." He said while taking out a small yet intimidating dagger. Scooting back a bit, small flashes from my childhood raced through my mind. I glance at my Professor, the man nodded but I held my gaze still unwilling. Elle grabbed my right hand in comfort but it didn't help. The Professor seemed to understand as he stepped forward sat next to me, before giving the goblin a pointed look. The goblin handed him the dagger and a piece of enchanted parchment. I extended my left arm towards Snape and he gently grasped my wrist to keep it in place. He drew the blade lightly across my forearm and let a drop of my blood drop onto the parchment before placing the dagger and parchment on the desk, and healing my arm. I smiled a bit at him and he nodded to me before we all turned to watch the family tree unfold. It started from me and worked its way up. Above my name were my biological parents, Nicole Johnson was listed as my mother and it showed she was a muggle. My father's name caught my eye immediately, Orion Prince (Wizard). Above his name it showed the name of his mother Eileen Prince, and under hers, next to my Fathers was none other than Severus Snape. I stared numbly at the parchment before looking at my Professor who looked just as stunned as I was. I snapped my attention back to the parchment that was now glowing bright red. I looked up at Gornuk, who spoke "There are long term glamours placed on you Miss Weaver, would you like them removed?" I just nodded numbly before glancing at Elle I noticed a slight smirk on her face, but didn't comment on it. The goblin then pulled out a vicious orange potion in a small vial. "This is like a liquid Finite, it is commonly used on long term enchantments such as the ones on you. The potion will take effect almost immediately and may hurt a bit."
I took the vial from him, my curiosity overriding my fear. I unstopped it, peered inside the vial and drank its contents. Starting in my chest and spreading throughout my body there were sharp points of acute pain in a quick succession, and I was consumed by dizziness. Still standing from when I grabbed the potions vial, I stumbled back before going unconscious. I woke in Camille's arms. She smiled down at me, "Did I pass out?"
"Yeah, it's common with that potion. All of the changes throw off your equilibrium." I blushed slightly before slowly sitting up noticing I was in Camille's lap I tried to move but I still felt a bit dizzy. After a few minutes the feeling faded and I looked up at Professor Snape, my uncle, and asked "What do I look like?"
