Severus's Apprentice: The Fat Lady

The next day, without any questions asked, or hesitation he returned her things back to the girls dorms. She thanked him and left his private space, without looking back. Looking back would be she wanted to stay, that she didn't want to leave him. So she looked ahead, said he farewells, and turned completely away from the man who had done many things for her. She heard the door click behind her, and she kept walking ahead. Severus turned away from the door and sat down in his favorite armchair, like he always did when he wanted to unwind. However something was off today. The chair wasn't as comfortable as he remembered it to be, the room looked a bit too empty for his liking, and the silence wasn't as pleasing like it always had been for him. The peace the silence, he couldn't appreciate it the way he used to anymore. He wore the cloak she had given back to him and he smelt something from it. Her smell lingering in the cloak mixing with his own.

Yes, something was surely missing.

Daisy walked down the empty corridors of the castle, staring outside the field as she did. The castle was large, grand, spacious, with high ceiling and interesting paintings, torches and many doors lined against the walls of the castle. She looked at everything closely, the things she was blinded to see, the things she couldn't see because of that man. That man she only cared to see. Everyday her eyes sought him, every second she searched for those eyes in any crowd. No longer will she look at him in class, the great hall, or even when they passed corridors. She paused her walk because of these thoughts. Saddened a bit at her difficult decision. She tried to reason with herself, why would she look for him, the other students didn't. But she wasn't just a student, she had lived with him. She was still a student in the end, a child. She fought with herself back and forth, till she saw a big brown rat scuttle by, it was dirty, and extremely large, she shivered on the inside at the thought of it near her and moved along. She reached the staircases that moved. She hardly ever used them, and yet many others did because their dormitories were there. She took the first steps and let the stairs take her wherever. The paintings greeted her and she greeted back. She saw the Ravenclaw tower and stared at it as the stair case she stood on moved her along. The moment it was out of view she looked at the fat lady, the entrance to the Gryffindor common room, and it flashed empty and torn for a moment. She blinked and it was back to normal with they lady there, trying to sing. She rubbed her eyes and looked again, it was the same, lady trying to sing.

"You're up quite early" She turned her head to a blond girl, looking at her uniform she understood she was a Ravenclaw. The girl smiled and outstretched her arm.

"Luna Lovegood"

"Daisy...Malfoy" She replied back.

"Have you seen my shoes?" Daisy looked down at her bare blistered feet and shook her head. The girl leaned in. "Nargles probably" The girl skipped onto the next steps. The more she explored the more students finally crawled out of their caves, looking at her funny, why would a Slytherin be around in this area.

"That's the girl g-guys" She was beginning to head down when she spotted the boy she helped, with a red head, the potter boy and miss Granger. He smiled at her.

"Neville here told us you helped him out" Harry said.

"What motive could a possibly Slytherin have I wonder" The red boy spoke and got jabbed by the Granger girl. "Ow" Daisy outstretched her hand.

"Daisy Malfoy" She introduced herself.

"Sorry we don't associate with Malfoy-"

"Ron, honestly!"

"What? I'm right aren't I?" The Granger girl gave him a look and he stayed quiet.

"It's okay, I understand why you wouldn't" Daisy assured them returning her outstretched hand back to her side. "I'm not a fan either" The clock struck seven and Daisy excused herself, she turned and walked away, she turned once last time to Neville.

"No problem Neville, if you have any questions on potions feel free to ask, I know Professor" it was hard to speak of him. "Is hard to approach"

"Yeah" The boy blushed and she disappeared into the Great hall. "Isn't she wonderful?" He stared at where she once stood.

"She's a Slytherin Neville" Ron said. "A Malfoy too."

"I know but she's nice and pretty"

"I think she might have slipped you a love potion"

Daisy for the first time didn't look at the teachers table when she entered the Great hall. Why would she, there was no one there she needed to look at.

"Never thought I'd see the day Theodore is here before you" Blaise commented and she smiled and sat beside him. "Any plans for the weekend?" She grabbed a few strawberries and placed it on her plate.

"I need a distraction" She said almost sighing.

"From what?" Theodore asked.

"Stuff, so I want to do something new, different, a change in scenery"

"Well I rather not go out cause of the dementors" Theodore made a face of discomfort.

"Then something indoors, maybe just quality time together?" Blaise smiled, liking the idea.

"Brain storm some Halloween ideas maybe" Theodore added. "maybe we can be a trio of something."

"Do you guys do a Halloween party here?" They nodded. "What's it like?"

"They sort of do a different theme every year, last year they decorated the school as if we were in a spider cave"

"Should have seen the Weaselly in Gryffindor, hilarious." They laughed at the memory.

"So basically, everyone dresses up, sometimes even teachers, and there is food, music, dancing, games, haunted room, it's really great" Blaise explained.

"Wow sounds brilliant" She was about to ask if Professor Snape ever dressed up but stopped herself. Theodore shared a look with Blaise and she looked between them.

"What are you two up to?"

"Hey Daisy" She turned to Blaise, who actually looked shy, this was new. "I, kind of wanted to talk to you about something today"

"What's that?"

"Can we talk else where?" Daisy nodded and got up, Theodore with them. Professor Snape eyed the trio. He stared at the back of Daisy's head, the way she talked and spoke with them with that smile she never showed him. Her hair was tied in a high pony tail and it swayed left and right as she walked. She held a potion book to her chest.

"Come on mate, you can do it" Theodore and Blaise walked side to side in front of her, whispering to each other. It was mainly Theodore talking to his male friend. Once they were out of sight and away from anyone walking by, they turned.

"I, I was wondering if, you know when Pansy asked if we were dating?" Daisy nodded, recalling the scene. "I was wondering if we could make it official" He looked her in the eye, and she looked back at him, but when she casted her head down, Theodore jumped in. Blaise and her were facing each other and Theodore was in between to the side, as if a referee.

"You don't have to answer him now"

"It's not that" She mumbled. "I've...I'm going through a bit of a heart break right now" Theodore gapped.

"You liked someone?" She nodded. "Who?" Theodore asked. She shook her head.

"I didn't date anyone, I just really liked this guy" Her eyes furrowed as she felt tears coming. "and well...I realized it wasn't something that was going to move any further so I decided to cut ties with him." her words became shaky, "So I can start moving on" she finished off quickly. Blaise instantly hugged her, and she no longer could hold back the tears. She shook in his arms, as Theodore joined in the hug. No more potions with Professor, no more of their potion games or little chats, no more talking to him at all, unless its in school terms. She won't interact with him much anymore. Memories of their good times together flashed in her mind as she broke down even more.

The bell rang and they moved Daisy elsewhere, she kept her head down, a hand over her eyes as Blaise took hold of her right hand and guided her away from the staring students. She sniffled and rubbed at her eyes.

"I'm fine now..." They turned. "We should get to class..." For most of her classes today she did not have her two friends with her. Herbology was something they weren't interested in and their charm classes were in different times of the day as well as DADA. Draco on the other hand was in everything she was. However she was so emotional, so numb and distracted that even his looks and stared went unnoticed.

Classes went by extremely slow, she looked forward to lunches and spares so she could do some reading or spend time with her two friends. As she walked towards the library someone walked up next to her.

"I-I...Hi...I c-couldn't help but notice you seem unwell today" The girl's name was Laura Lights, the cute little girl that sat to her right during DADA on the desk over. She reached just over Daisy's shoulders. She looked extremely shy, with her hands in front of her, her fingers intertwined with one another. Her head was down, not looking up at Daisy.

"I guess you can say I'm a bit unwell today" The girl seemed to perk up at Daisy's honestly and reply to her.

"I'm Laura by the way. L-Laura Lights"

"Dais-"

"Daisy Malfoy, I know" She cut off. They reached the library and Laura continued to follow her into the big room. They sat down somewhere and the girl started scrambling to get something out of her bag. It was a box. "Chocolate? It always makes me feel better when I'm down"

"Thanks, but I'm actually highly allergic to them" She turned so red and quickly put them away, apologizing over and over again. Daisy laughed at how much she was panicking for something so simple and kept reassuring her it was fine. They made small talk back and forth and before Daisy knew it they started to talk consistently, they were in the same classes and she didn't seem to have the same mentality as other Slytherin students. She reminded her of a female Neville honestly, she stuttered a lot, didn't show much self confidence and really lacked that heavily. She was cute and they shared the same thoughts on the other houses, she was open minded and she really liked that about Laura. Before Daisy knew it she told her already what had upset her.

"Oh...who would ever reject you..." She said with a sad face. "I mean you're pretty...and nice and smart" She looked down she looked as if she was the one rejected.

"I wasn't rejected Laura, it was just never going to happen between him and I"

"Who was it, I mean i-it's okay if you don't want to tell me, I understand-"

"It's not you, I just, I'm not ready to tell anyone yet...I mean the person I like doesn't know that I like them, I only even figured this out a few days ago and I..." Daisy looked away and stopped talking.

"You two seem close, doing potions together, dancing together, are you sure he doesn't like you back?" Daisy nodded.

"I don't want to talk about it anymore..."

Daisy showed up in the common room with puffy red eyes and a redder nose with Laura at her side. Theodore and Blaise were already there and told her to come over, she did with Laura.

"This is Laura" She introduced her new friend and they greeted. "We kind of bonded over my situation" Daisy mumbled, her throat was sore.

"You must have really liked this guy" Blaise said. They were whispering, there was still students around the common room. She had her head down low. "What a blind guy, doesn't see what he has in front of him" He insulted. They were sitting on a table, with four chairs, other were standing around or on the couch by the fireplace.

"It's going to be okay Daisy" Laura reassured.

"Yeah you'll find a better guy" Blaise added.

"Like Blaise" Theodore joked and Daisy couldn't help but laugh at that.

"Thanks guys" She said quietly. There was ruckus outside and they walked out, watching students rush out the dungeons and up the stairs and they followed. Wondering what the commotion was all about.

"Headmaster, let him through, you heard him move!" one of the prefects of Gryffindor yelled. The Slytherin and other houses stood at the bottom watching as a group crowded around the entrance to the Gryffindor common room. From this angle she couldn't see what they were crowding around.

"Mister Filch, round up the ghosts of every painting in the castle and find the fat lady"

"There's no need for ghosts, Professor" The janitor man pointed. The students shoved and pushed to get closer to the painting he pointed.

"Dear lady, who did this to you?" Daisy could see now the empty with an ugly tire on the portrait that was the door to the Gryffindors common room. The lady who spoke from the other painting had quite an annoying voice, she peeked out and whimpered while wearing an army hat.

"Eyes like the devil!" She cried out. "And a soul as dark as his name, it's him headmaster, the one they all talk about, he's here, somewhere in the castle" She breathed heavily "Sirius Black!" She cried out again and hid. The headmaster turned to the old janitor.

"Secure the castle mister Filch" The students whispered. "The rest of you, the great hall!" Everyone rushed away, pushing by Daisy, as all entrance were closed and locked. Daisy couldn't take her eyes off of the ripped painting, she had seen it like that before somewhere, she zoned out and remembered her dream.

A wolf howling, the full moon, Sirius Black in the castle. And a big black dog, Severus Snape, the whomping willow, a rat, Harry potter, the name...Peter Pettigrew.

She slowly fell down onto the floor, holding her head in one hand, it felt like it was going to explode as it spat out scenes over scenes so fast that she couldn't make out what they were. Laura was first to notice Daisy fall and let out a gasp, followed by Blaise and Theodore both turning to see her on the floor as other students rushed by glancing.

"What's wrong?" They pulled her up.

"My dreams..." She struggled to say. "They keep appearing, it won't stop" She winced and closed her eyes shut tight.

"Quick take her to the infirmary" Laura voice rang in her ears, she was pulled along by both of them into the hospital, and she was quickly put down the closest bed.

"What happened?" Madame Pomfrey came running over.

"We don't know, her head just hurts extremely bad, and -"

"My heads going to explode" She grunted out holding her head tightly.

"I told you, you should have told someone, even Dumbledore about those dreams"

"Tell me what?" Dumbledore walked in with Professor Snape. All three of them turned quickly to the old man and head of house appearing around the corner.

"Oh Severus, you'll need to grab another one of those" She grabbed the potion from him and helped Daisy drink it. He gave one look at Daisy, who now had one hand clenching on Blaise's, he slowly walked off to grab another potion.

"Her dreams sir" Blaise said. "Everyday for the past week she tells me about these odd dreams" The potion was taking affects and her tensed body relaxed only a bit, her head still throbbed horribly. Her head of house returned with another potion, and the nurse handed it to her, and she took it again.

"What does her dream have to do with anything?" Theodore asked.

"Whileyousleep in bed, Daisy and I are up early and talking about it in the Great hall, she has these reaccuring dreams, repeating over and over with just small differences here and there"

"What's the dream about?" Laura asked and Daisy took a deep breath, letting go of Blaise's hand.

"I normally don't always remember it" Daisy spoke painfully. "The potions aren't working very well by the way" She commented.

"What do you remember from these dreams Miss Malfoy?" Dumbledore stood with his hands in front of him folded.

"A wolf, a black dog, Professor Lupin, Harry, Sirius Black, a...a" She clenched her head in pain. "A rat, and yesterday, there was a name...a name mentioned...I've never heard of it before." She bit her lips and closed her eyes, really focusing on remembering the name, she finally said it. "Peter Pettigrew" Severus looked up at Dumbledore, and he merely glanced back at him.

"What does this mean Albus?" The nurse asked.

"Is there anything else?"

"The whomping willow...and a full moon" She mumbled. "That's all" she refused to say Severus was there too. The tension in her mind slowly lifted and she slowly relaxed her hand back in Blaise's and leaned back into the bed, resting her head down on it, breathing normally now.

"Miss Malfoy, please inform me or Severus of anything new in your dreams. Perhaps, a storm is coming" He left, along with Severus.

Blaise, Theodore and Laura stayed with Daisy till as long as they could in the infirmary.

"You guys should really go, it's going to be curfew soon"

"Blaise is trying to win your heart, just let him" Theodore joked and Laura blushed, but they did get up anyways, said their goodnight and left. Laura was talking with them casually now, and they seem to be okay with her. Daisy watched them disappear at the exit of the double door. Now that she thought about it, she didn't remember ever seeing Laura with anyone else before. If she was her first friend she was glad to have brought her two more friends besides herself. She closed her eyes to get some rest when she heard some scuttling, and grabbed her wand from under her bed.

"Lumos" She saw the rat she had seen not only in her dreams but earlier the same day running about and out the hospital wing. She followed it trying to keep up. She heard footsteps coming and hid. "Nox"

She heard a boy say the same thing, before light came up again.

"Potter" It was Severus. "What are you doing wandering the corridors at night?" She covered her hand over her mouth, peeking around the corner.

"I was sleep walking" Was the boy's reply.

"How extraordinary like your father you are Potter, he too was exceedingly arrogant, strutting about the castle." This boy, was the son of Lily, the same lady who Severus had loved from a young age. The same lady who came to him complaining about her husband, and how much she regretted marrying him over Severus.

"My dad didn't strut and nor do I, now if you don't mind, I'd appreciate it if you lowered your wand" she saw the source of the light lower a bit.

"Turn out your pockets" she hated that just hearing his voice made her turn red sometimes. It was always so smooth, so assertive, she shook her head to stop herself from thinking about it anymore. The boy didn't response. She heard some ruffling of clothing and paper. "What's this?"

"It's just parchment"

"Really?" clearly sarcastic. "open it" she saw the rat run by her and she decided it was best to follow it then to listen in any further. She slowly, trying her best to stay quiet and keep up. Right when she turned the corner she froze at the sounds she heard. From the girls bathroom there were moans and grunts.

"you like that?" her face turned red. "Yeah baby I'm coming, I'm coming for you" she didn't think she could turn any redder and she began backing away only to bump into Lupin and Potter himself. She turned and looked at them both. Lupin raised both his brows at her smiling and shaking his head at the girls bathroom. Harry just laughed quietly.

"Not going to tell on you Miss Malfoy" the professor said. "I should warn you though, your head of house is in that direction" Daisy smiled and they walked on. Just when they were out of sight the boy grunted over and over. She turned and walked back the direction she came. She needed to go back to the hospital moving very slowly because of the darkness.

Light came from behind her when she turned at an intersection and she froze.

"Daisy" Blaise rushed over to her. "What are you doing out of bed?" he whispered.

"What areyoudoing out of bed yourself" she shot back, almost playfully, he blushed and looked away.

"I was going to just check up on you" He gave her his signature smile and she smiled back.

"I was just on my way to the hospital wing, I was out for a walk" she was so relieved it was him though. "gave me a scare there"

"Thought I was the killer on the loose?" she would rather meet the serial killer than Severus right now. "Speaking of him, you shouldn't be wandering around alone, come on" he took hold of her hand and took the lead with his wand out. He was tall, with wide shoulders and slim waist, making a nice 'v'. He was clearly someone who tended to his body, and strong. He's funny, witty and charming. He'd stand up for you and take care of you. He was an ideal person she'd think any girl would want in a guy. Not only ideal but he's also her classmate, someone her age, someone appropriate for her to be with. Someone she had a future with. If she could fall in love with him, she wouldn't have to suffer so much.

They found the hospital wing without being found and they went through the doors and back on her bed. She curled up under the blanket and he smiled down at her. He gave her a little peck on her forehead and she blushed.

"Too much?" she hid half her face under the blanket.

"I do not wish to lead you on Blaise. Please don't force yourself to wait for me. If you find another before I give you an answer it is fine with me." he patted her head.

"Don't worry a hair on that pretty head of yours" He said his good nights again and left, giving one last wave before closing the door behind him. She curled up and closed her eyes.

Daisy was pushed onto the wall, by a dark figure. She was shaking, and whimpering.

"Please" She begged, as the figure came to light and cornered her with his arms. Professor Snape took his hand under her chin and titled her up.

"You are mine" His lips lowered, and it touched hers.
