Thanks for all the reviews they are amazing. A little Snape and Ginny because well i love him
Chapter 11- Snape
P.O.V Ginny
I walked down to the Black Lake. I pulled the note from my pocket. Snape was a hard guy to read even as a teenager. I walked around a group of bushes and Snape sat under a tree surrounded by a pile of books.
"Unlocking the secrets to Potions," I asked. He looked up from his books and stared at me.
"Something like that," he said, looking back to his books.
"Well someone invited me to help," I said, dropping the note on the ground next to him. He looked at it then back to his book.
"Do you know anything about Potions," he said. I sighed.
"Nope," I said, dropping into the ground next to him. "I'm good company though." He cracked a smile.
"I think someone forgot to tell you, I'm not good company," he said, putting a book down next to me.
"Well people probably have different opinions about me too," I said, picking up one of the books. "Do you want to put the alterations you made in our assignment," I asked, putting my bag down in front of me.
"You noticed that," he said, looking up at me. I pulled out a piece of paper and quill from my bag.
"I've made the Potion before."
"Thought you said you weren't good at Potions," he smirked.
"Not as good as you," I said.
"What makes you think I'm good?"
"Actually I got told you were great, but I also got told you were creepy and would attack your friends in a dark alley."
"And your still here," he asked.
"Well you're not my friend yet. So it doesn't really apply, though when we are friends I would prefer we stay away from dark alleyways." He laughed and for the first time I saw happiness in his eyes.
"Well it's nice to meet you Ginny. Names Severus," he said.
"It's nice to meet you Severus," I said. I smiled and he looked back to his books.
"Professor Slughorn knows I edit the potions, so we might as well put them in," he said.
"I'm all good with that," I said, smiling.
"Have you ever tried to make one," I asked, putting down one book and picking up another one.
"What do you mean," he asked. "Like invent one," he said, writing something down.
"Yeah, I mean you're smart enough to be able too."
"Yeah, I guess I could. I've never really thought about it," he said, leaning forward to grab a book when it exploded, flying out of his hand. He jumped back. I ripped out my wand.
"Expelliarmus," I said and James's wand flee from his hand before he could cast his next spell. He had no idea how lucky he was. It hadn't been appropriate to used Expelliarmus in quiet a few years. I was surprised it was my go to spell. I guess there was a bit of Harry's influence on me still.
"What's going on here," James yelled.
"I could ask you the same question," Severus said, looking at me.
"What," I said, looking away from James to him. "What's that meant to mean," I said. James moved and my attention shot back to him. "Your unarmed what are you actually hoping to do," I asked him. James stopped. "Now would you go away, because as much as I like your company I kind of need test books to be able to study," I said, looking to the smoking potions book Severus had been holding.
"You're doing your assignment," James asked.
"Yes," I said a little too sarcastically.
"With Snape," James asked again.
"Yes. He is my partner," I said again. James straightened up.
"Fine, just be back inside by curfew," he said and walked away.
"Yes sir," I called after him before I turned back to Severus, putting my wand away. He was packing his books away into a small bag that seemed a lot bigger on the inside than the outside.
"What are you doing," I asked.
"Nothing, just go back to your Gryffindor tower with Potter," he growled.
"Severus, James is gone," I said. He stopped to look up at me. "I sent him away."
"Why he's a Gryffindor," he said, going back to his books.
"But I'm not," I said even if the sorting hat had put me in Gryffindor. I didn't feel like one anymore. He continued to pack. "What are you doing," I asked. He just shook his head. "Severus," I said, stepping closer to him.
"I'm not loosing someone else to him," he muttered.
"Lily," I breathed. He packed the last of his books away.
"I'll finish the assignment by myself," he said and then started to walk off. I jumped in front of him.
"Okay. Let's get one thing straight before you run off. I'm not Lily. I'm not some sheltered muggle born who the only magic she ever faced was in Hogwarts. I've been involved in a war since before I was born. Half the time I don't know what I'm doing but I'm at least aware of what it's like for the people who are fighting to just hold onto their families. I'm not prefect but I'm not going to fall for James. I'm not going to ditch my friends because everyone around me doesn't trust them. Because right now, my friends are all I have," I said. I swallowed. Get Severus to actually trust someone was as hard now as it was in the future. I sighed, stepping back. I don't know why I cared about Severus, but I figured no one deserved to be alone.
"You told James to leave," he asked. I nodded. He stared at me. "You want to come to the Great Hall," he asked. "We can finish the project there if you want. I promised Narcissa I would help her finish her's."
"Okay," I said and smiled. "I was actually going to ask him whether I could join the Quidditch term, but now I'm thinking that's unlikely to happen," I said and we started to walk back to the school.
"Sorry."
"James'll get over it," I muttered.
I followed Severus to the Slytherin table in the Great Hall. I had never gone to this side of the room. I had never had a reason to. I had been a Gryffindor, surrounded by my friends and family. Now I wasn't but I didn't mind all that much.
"Everyone remember Ginny," Severus said, sitting down at the table. They all looked up at me. Andromeda looked up at me and smiled. Narcissa moved over, closer to Severus and pulled her books closer to her and Severus.
"What's she doing here," Regulus said. "Don't her other friends want her back," he said, looking over to the Gryffindor table. I smiled and sat down at the table.
"We could start with chess, unless you think I'll beat you," I said. I had 6 brothers. I was good at chess. He looked me over and then pushed the chess table towards me.
"Beat me then princess," he said and smirked, the same as his brother.
P.O.V Sirius
"Queen to E5," I said. Peter looked at the Chess board on the dining room table.
"Knight to A8," Peter said. I stared at the board.
"Black," called out a male voice.
"Yeah," I called out. "Pawn to F3."
"Can we talk for a second?" I looked away from my game to see Ce Chang standing there.
"Yeah, what do you want to talk about," I asked. I was pretty sure I have never held a meaningful conversation with this guy in my life.
"Rook to C2," Peter said. I looked back to the board for a second before back to Chang.
"What's going on between you and Penny," he asked. "It's just that I heard she was dating you and I didn't want to intrude."
"Intrude all you like. She's not mine."
"You mean she's dating the other Black?" I laughed.
"No, god no." Why brother date someone? Someone from Gryffindor, our parents would have a fit. "She's all yours," I said, turning back to my game.
"Thank you," he said and disappeared.
"Knight to C2," I said and watched my Knight move across the board and break Peter's rook in too.
"Looks like Penny has an admire," Peter said.
"Cause she doesn't have hundred's."
"She is pretty," Peter said.
"She's gorgeous. She just not my type anymore," I said, staring at the board not really taking anything in.
"Who's not your type," James asked, dropping down next to me.
"Penny," I said. "Wonna pass me an apple," I said. James handed me one. "Thanks."
"What's Penny got to do with anything," James asked.
"She got herself another fan boy," Peter said.
"That's cause she's hot," James said, biting into an apple.
"That's what I said," I commented.
"She's like the female version of you," James said.
"Yeah, that's why we worked so well. Anyway how did it go with Lily?"
"Ekk, okay. I guess. She let me walk her to the post office to send a letter home to her mum but then ditched me for a Slughorn gathering."
"That's improvement I guess," Peter said.
"Yeah, but not enough. Holidays are coming and you know that she'll be gone for like weeks," James said. "But I was out by the Lake cause Lily ditched, doing my rounds and I ran into Snape. I saw him there with a red head and I got a little preemptive."
"Lily's hanging out with Snape again," Peter asked.
"That's what I thought."
"Did you say hello," I asked.
"I didn't have the chance. The second I let off my warning shot, my wand was gone from my hand. It was your little Ginny. Flung it right out of my hand before Snape's burning book even hit the ground."
"There is something else to that girl," Peter said.
"Duh," I smirked. "She's amazing."
"Well look who's soaking it up," James said, pointing over to the Slytherin table where Ginny sat between Snape and Regulus, laughing with the others.
"Let's go check on Remus," I standing up, knocking over the chess pieces. "You win," I said to Peter, walking out of the Great Hall.
"Remus," I said, coming into the dorm. "Are you bored out of your mind yet," I asked. Remus looked up at us and smiled.
"Actually no," Remus said.
"Well your coming down to dinner," James said.
"Why," Remus asked, pulling down his book. "It's only 4 o'clock."
"James means lunch," I said. "But his parents are weird and call it dinner, and because its lunch," I said. Remus glared at me.
"I'm aware of what dinner is thank you. I meant why do I have to go," he said.
"Because," James said.
"What are you looking up anyway? I thought we were all safe with the animagi stuff," I asked, dropping down next to him. He moved over a little so I didn't fall off. James picked up a book.
"Wolfsbane Potion," James said.
"What's a Wolfsbane Potion," I asked, grabbing the book. I flipped it over and read the page. A potion to ease the symptoms for a werewolf. "Will that work?"
"What," James's asked.
"It allows werewolves to keep their mental faculties after transforming," I said.
"Can you do that," Peter asked.
"I don't know," Remus said. "The potion is so beyond me, I don't even know where to start."
"But you think it will work," I asked.
"Worth a shot," Remus said.
"I thought you were doing pretty well with keeping your own mind," Peter said.
"Yeah, we're been walking around the grounds with you for months," I said.
"But we've never run into any people. I don't know what would happen if we did," Remus said. "I've been sitting here all day and I'm not even remotely finished."
"Well it can wait until after dinner," James said.
"And then I'll go to the library and see if anyone else has done it before you," I said. Remus got up and put the books down on his bed.
"How did your date go," Remus asked. James and I looked at each other and laughed.
"Amazing," I said.
"So you didn't act anything like yourself," Remus teased as we walked down the dorm stairs.
"Ha, ha, ha. I was exactly myself and still they stayed for all of lunch. Oh and your going on a date with Molly next weekend," I said and beamed at Remus.
"What," Remus yelled after me as I disappeared out the portal hole, laughing.
Hope you guys like this :) Reviews!
