Wine Rose: Okay, so my spelling screwed up a little. It was late! Lol, "Did his hair turn green?" MAYBE! But I have the chapter, so you can find out! "I like Snape nice, it kind of makes him cute. The concerned professor...awwww" Yes, I know right? Awww! So adorable! lol, but you're right about the other thing, it's not the REAL him. And yes, I can read your typing.
Ctina: "Hihi!!! Me loooooves this story!"
Hi to you too!
"*tries to hug computer*"
Aww, that's so sweet!
"I was searching for some good stories with Snape (*laughs nervously* me, obsessed? No.....) and I found this one and suddenly became hooked! I think I need a special kind of support group.... ^_^;;; Anyway, I refused to move from my chair until I had read all there was to read so far of this story. WRITE MORE SOON!!!! (*soon echoes from the rooftops*) I love it, it's fantastic, keep writing!!! "
Really? Why thank you! And I WILL keep writing! Obsessed? *nudges* //Don't worry, I'll keep your secret! lmao!
"(I have no criticism. Maybe it's the fact that I had a whole lotta' sugar... *shrugs*) "
Yes, that is a sad affliction of mine, I'll try and lay off on the sweetness, but can I help myself? *whispers no*. lol Thanks for LOVING the story so much!!!
Anna: HAHAHA! I just laugh when I read this review, I am evil, yes! Mwahha! Anyway, you got it! *sighs* Kate is just a little perfectionist that needs to die! Lol, and yes, Snape just LOVES her! But not that way, you know, I don't have the heart to make this one that kind of story.
Twinkssparklygirl: Thanks for liking my prelude! I didn't know about the other meaning for lupine, but thanks for telling me! Kate going into Gryffindor would've been easier to write on and yes, better for her, but I just wanted to put her in Slytherin *those evil urges!* The HP trio will meet her soon, however I think you'll be a little disappointed in how they act towards her, although I think my ending just kicks ass.
Why do I want Snape so much? *laughs* because everyone loves Snape! Because I love Snape! But really, I just love his character and think it's very complex, enabling me to use him in alot of different kinds of stories. But you know what? Soon I'm going to have to find someone new to be my secondary/main character.
His hair, normally spiking out in random directions and messy, was now longer and hung down at the sides of his face. He touched the black locks, they felt silky and smooth.
"What the- What happened to me?!" he ran his fingers through his hair.
He looked at himself in the mirror again to make sure, and noticed something else. His eyes, instead of the usual green, they were more foggy. A greenish-grey and this creeped him out even farther. He took off his glasses and examined his eyes, they had changed color on their own. Fumbling to open his glasses again to put on his face, he blinked. His glasses were all misty, he took them off again to wipe it off. But found they were in perfect condition. He looked at his glasses funny,
"I don't understand..." he put them back on, slowly and his vision fogged up again.
Sliding them off, his vision improved and he dropped the glasses in shock.
He didn't need them anymore.
Harry looked into the mirror again to get a good look of himself...but he didn't look like himself anymore. Careful not to trip, he picked up his glasses and put them on the dresser next to his bed.
Harry sat down on his bed, tired, amazed, shocked. What was going on? He didn't understand how so many changes took place. He wondered where his bad eyesight went, where his messy, James-inherited hair went. Where his eye color went. He fell back into the sheets and stared at the underside of the bunk ontop of him.
Kate finished her 'lunch' and stretched, then put away her book.
"Unicorns, dragons, phoenixes, and very big spiders" she sang to herself and went to get her cd player.
Putting the ear phones on, she pressed the play button as was rewarded with a loud bzzt of static. "Youch!" she yelped and ripped the ear phones out.
She examined the ear phones suspiscously.
"What is up with this place?" she carefully put them back in place and pressed the play button again.
BZZZT!
"ARG!" she threw down the ear phones.
"I have to go to the library"
Kate's POV
I went into the library and immediatly asked Madame Pince for books on electronic malfunctions in Hogwarts. She looked at me funny,
"You're a muggle, aren't you?"
"Yeah" I said, /Is it a crime?/
She told me that I didn't need a book for that and that electronic devices didn't work in the magical world. I thanked her, then cursed when I reached another bookcase.
I checked out some books on Potions and Charms, a few more on Transfiguration, then returned those to my bag. I saw students come back in from the Great Hall, lunch was over.
I went to my next class, feeling extremly guilty. This was supposed to be Hagrid's class, and we had another old man for te job. I didn't doubt his skills, only that I knew that he was not supposed to have the job. Going outside, I shopped short. The gathered Hufflepuffs and Slytherins were clueless, just walking around and touching things...there was no professor.
I walked up to a Hufflepuff,
"Where's Professor Hawkings?".
The girl shrugged, "We were told to wait here. He's been in some sort of accident"
My eyebrows went up. Just then, McGonagall came running in.
"Professor Hawkings has been injured severly. However, we do have a replacement teacher" she said.
"Behave...or else" she said, surprising me.
She never sounds so...serious before. As she went away, a young woman took her place.
She was tall and had long black hair held back in a bun, sporting a few loose strands. Her black robes flowed as she walked towards the class, her face was pale and her eyes were grey.
"My name is Aranel Snape" Looks were traded.
"As you might notice, that means I am Professor Snape's daughter."
I stopped myself from staring. Snape had a daughter?!
3rd
Aranel was quite talented with animals and handled them expertly. Everyone was amazed, Snape's daughter was not as stingy as he was. The experience was quite educational and Kate earned Slytherin even more House Points. Aranel smiled warmly at Kate at the end of the lesson.
"You've studied hard" she said.
"Thank you Professor" said Kate, blushing.
"Keep up the good, work, with you, the Slytherins might win the House Cup this year" Kate beamed,
"I will! Goodbye!" she said and went off.
Kate felt something warm in her stomach. It made her so happy, more happy than she had been in a while. No Professor had complimented her yet, and she felt appreciated. Kate started back into the castle when she noticed that Aranel was going into a clearing surrounded by bushes. Curious, she crept after the Professor.
Kate's POV
I held my books in one hand and crawled into the bushes. Clearing away a few of the skinny branches, only my eyes were shown as I watched.
"How is Hawkings' condition?" asked Aranel.
Professor McGonagall sighed, "He's steady now, but whatever attacked him left him disturbed and bloody"
"Did anyone identify the wound?"
"Well Aranel, that's why we have you here" said McGonagall.
"And your father is working on the antidote for the venom, so he might be able to help too...here he comes now"
Professor Snape walked into the ring from the other direction and acted awkwardly,
"Erin" he said.
"Do you have to use my middle name?" asked Aranel coldly.
He clenched his jaw, like he didn't want to cry.
"I'm sorry" he mumbled.
I lost my balance for a second and collapsed. I shut my mouth tightly in order to not make noise and all the Professors whirled around, looking for the source. /Stupid Kate, stupid Kate!/ Slowly, they stopped and began to speak again, although quieter now.
"What is your diagnosis?" asked Aranel.
"Another serpent bite, a giant serpent...although I'm not exactly sure as to what is it...I am somewhat hesitant of voicing my thought in this matter" said Snape.
"Voice it Severus" said Aranel sharply, and Snape seemed to lose all the warmth he had gained from seeing his daughter.
"It's Voldemolt...the occamy is Voldemolt"
