Chapter 9: Telling Snape

Morrigan was in the middle of Defense Against the Dark Arts, trying to ignore the headache that was pounding in her head, when the door opened and a Prefect from Hufflepuff walked in.

"Sir, Professor McGonagall wishes to see Miss Potter," he told Professor Quirrell.

"O-Of course," Quirrell stammered and Morrigan was able to leave, her head still pounding.

When they arrived at her office the Prefect knocked on the door and then opened it when Morrigan heard McGonagall say "enter." He left Morrigan alone and facing the Deputy Headmistress.

"Are you alright, Morrigan," McGonagall asked her, worry in her voice.

"My head is pounding," she told her, "It happens every time I'm in Defense."

"I'll have Severus bring you a headache potion," McGonagall told her and she waited while she called someone named Severus.

A couple of minutes later the door opened and in walked Snape.

"Severus, Morrigan is having a headache that she got in Defense," McGonagall told him.

He handed Morrigan a vial and she drank it down, shuttering at the taste. At once the headache vanished and she felt instant relief.

"How long as this been going on?" Snape asked her.

"A month," Morrigan answered.

"And you didn't tell me," Snape hissed and Morrigan flinched. "I'm your Head of House; I'm supposed to keep you safe."

"Sorry," Morrigan muttered.

"I think that Dumbledore needs to check on Quirrell," McGonagall said, "I don't like it that Morrigan is suffering."

"I agree," Snape said.

"So what do you need me for," Morrigan asked.

She saw McGonagall smiling and said, "We went to the Dursley's to find out why they didn't sign your report and we found out that they got it but was going to use the results against you. They have been arrested for mental abuse that they have inflicted upon you and I've won the right to have you live with me."

Morrigan was shocked, so shocked that her mouth dropped open.

"But, why would you want me?" Morrigan asked, "I mean I'm a Slytherin."

McGonagall gave her a stunned look and then she said, "Your James and Lily's daughter and no child deserves to be treated like you have. Dumbledore has agreed that you can live with me. I have a wonderful manor that you'll love."

Morrigan was still shocked and then she remembered that Snape was here.

"Sir, I don't want to sound like I'm going against the rules of Slytherin but Tracy and Millicent are going to try and find out what's on the third floor."

Snape stared at her and Morrigan thought that she was in trouble.

"Thanks, for telling me," he said, "And you're not going against the rules of Slytherin. My job is to keep all my snakes safe and if their trying to break the rules then I have to know."

"So you're not mad."

"Of course not, child," McGonagall said, "Your showing loyalty to your Head of House and Hogwarts by telling him that their trying to get into trouble. If they try to enter they will get killed."

"Then you have to stop them," Morrigan said.

"Don't worry, I will," Snape told her, "And I will make sure that none of them know that you told me."

"Thanks," Morrigan said.

"Morrigan, I want you to come with me to my manor for Christmas," McGonagall said, "You'll have a great time and I'll let you met Remus Lupin."

Morrigan saw Snape glaring at her when she mentioned Remus Lupin. Morrigan wondered what that was about.

"Do you want to come and visit me on Christmas, Professor," Morrigan asked.

"I think it should be fun," McGonagall told him, "And we'll go to Stonehenge for the Winter Solstice."

"Will the wolf be allowed?"

"Wolf," Morrigan said, confused.

"Remus Lupin is a werewolf," McGonagall told her, "But don't worry, he's safe."

"When he's under the Wolfbane Potion."

"Wolfbane, what's that?" Morrigan asked.

"It's a potion that allows a drinker to keep their mind when they transform," Snape explained. "It's not taught at Hogwarts."

"Can you teach me?" Morrigan asked.

"Only if you get into your N.E.W.T's," Snape told her.

"Then I'll do that," Morrigan said.

Later that day she told Hermione what had happened. Hermione looked shocked and then delighted when she found out that Morrigan had been adopted by McGonagall.

"She's really great," Hermione said. "And she's going to be better then the Dursley's."

"Yeah, I can agree with that," Morrigan said, "And I'm going to Stonehenge for the Winter Solstice."

"Then we have to meet there," Hermione told her, "I'll let mum and dad know that you're going there and bring me there."

"Sounds great," Morrigan said and then they started to study.

That night Morrigan was busy reading one of her Charms books when Nott told her that Tracy and Millicent had been brought to Snape's office.

"What happened?" Morrigan asked, trying to pretend that she didn't know.

"Don't know," Nott said, "But he was mad."

"I'm sure it's nothing," Morrigan said to him.

"I hope not, we don't need another expulsion."

The next day Morrigan woke up to a bad feeling, like something just wasn't right. Tracy and Millicent weren't in bed and she wondered if Snape had expelled them or suspended them. When she walked into the Great Hall she was shocked to see Weasley setting there, looking pleased about something. Why was he even here? She went over to the Slytherin table and sat down.

"I thought that Weasley had gotten expelled," Morrigan said to Theodore.

"His father pulled some strings to get him back in," Nott answered.

"Great, I still have to put up with him," Morrigan groaned.

"Don't let him get to you, ignore him," Nott suggested.

"Easy for you to say," Morrigan said and she started to eat.

Thankfully Weasley didn't start on her during Thursday's Flying Lesson. Morrigan was able to fly around with the others and it was clear that she had inherited her father's natural gift of flying. When she landed Madam Hooch told her that she could try out for the Slytherin Quidditch team next year, or this year if Snape allowed it.

"Thanks," Morrigan said and grinned at the angry look on Weasley's face.

Tracy and Millicent didn't appear again until after dinner when Morrigan was busy working on her Defense Against the Dark Arts work.

"Someone told him," Tracy said.

"Told who?" Morrigan asked her.

"About us wanting to find out what's on the third floor," Tracy answered.

"I noticed that you didn't get into trouble."

"Maybe because people around here know that I don't break rules," Morrigan told her, "You both stick out like sore thumbs. So what happened?"

"He gave us detention for the next three months," Millicent said, "And we have to clean the cauldrons, without magic."

"At least you weren't expelled," Morrigan reasoned.

"Yeah, so what did Professor McGonagall want?" Tracy asked.

"She told me that the Dursley's no longer are my guardians and that I'm going to be adopted by her," Morrigan told her. "I'm staying at her manor over the winter and we're going to Stonehenge during the Winter Solstice."

"Wicked!" Tracy said. "Glad to see that you won't be around those muggles anymore."

"Yeah, I'm glad too," Morrigan said.

September ended and October began with cold weather. Morrigan wasn't use to Scottish Winters but Tracy told her that she would get use to it. Thankfully the two girls had given up on trying to find out what was on the third floor and she suspected that it had something to do with their parents. The only problem with October was that everyone was getting excited about the Halloween Feast. Morrigan really didn't want to go and she didn't think that she had to. She decided to ask Professor McGonagall if she could be excused.

She knocked on the door and waited.

"Enter," McGonagall's voice called out and Morrigan opened the door and entered. "Morrigan, what can I do for you?"

"Well I found out last month that Halloween was when my parents died," Morrigan told her, "Well I don't want to celebrate Halloween, and I don't want to be around all the fun."

"I understand how you feel," she said, "But Hogwarts is going to want you there."

"Well I don't want to be there," Morrigan said, "And I don't think that I should be force to be at an event that's going to make me throw up. Can I just stay in Slytherin until the Halloween feast is over?"

"Do you wish to be excluded?"

"Yes," Morrigan answered.

"Then I think that I can find something that you can be apart of," McGonagall told her.

This got her attention. "What?"

"Oh you'll find out," McGonagall told her.

Three weeks later she was standing among a large crowd at Stonehenge. All around here there were people dressed in robes. McGonagall had told her that they were neo-pagans and they were celebrating Samhain.

"I've never heard of Samhain," Morrigan told her.

"It's known as Halloween. You said that you didn't want to celebrate Halloween so we're celebrating Samhain."

"Isn't this exciting," Professor Sprout said, "I've always wanted to come but never could get a chance."

"Did you bring hot drinks?" Snape asked.

"Like I would let you freeze, Severus," Sprout told him.

"Thanks for doing this for me," Morrigan told them.

"Don't thank me, I'm only here because the females dragged me along," Snape told her.

Morrigan laughed and then they went to listen to some music.

It was late when the four of them returned to the castle. Dumbledore told them that a troll had been released and almost killed Hermione. Morrigan looked at him in shock but she was glad that her friend was okay.

"Head back to your common room," Snape told her.

"No problem and thanks again," Morrigan said and she headed back to the Slytherin common room.
