It's the next morning and we are sitting in the Great Hall, Harry, Ron and the twins haven't turned up yet. I'm just sitting in the middle of Draco and Blaise and Crabbe and Goyle are sitting across from us.

I look at Draco and Blaise. "It's time for your dare boys" I say grinning.

They sigh and Draco stands up. "I'm Draco Malfoy and I like eating cat food" he shouts.

Everyone looks at him and he sits back, then Blaise stands up. "No, it is I who likes eating cat food" he shouts, then sits back down.

We all look at each other and start laughing, I see people looking at us confused. Just then Harry, Ron and the twins walk in. "They are here" I whisper.

"Why are you wearing Slytherin's robes?" Hermione asks, making them all look down.

"What are you talking about?" Ron asks, confused. "Theses are our Gryffindor robes."

"You are wearing Slytherin's robes, we can see them" Hermione says and all the Gryffindor's nod.

"But they look Gryffindor to us" Harry says. Me Draco, Blaise, Crabbe and Goyle all laugh under our breath.

"Do you think they have had a shower?" Draco whispers.

"There's only one way to find out" I say as I pull out my wand. I point it at Ron and his hair goes pink.

"Weasley's favourite colour is pink" Blaise says laughing a little.

I point my wand at Harry and his hair goes red, then I point my wand at Fred and his hair goes green and lastly George, I point my wand at his hair and it goes blue.

They all look at each other. "What's happening?" Ron asks.

"I'm not sure" Harry says.

"Aww Ronnie, you look cute with pink hair" the twins say together.

"Shut up" Ron says angrily. We are just sitting there laughing our heads off, they look at us, then at my wand, I quickly put it away, the twins look at me shocked, then smirk.

Ron was about to say something but dad cuts him off "Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyle, Zabini and Snape, my office, now" we all look at each other and stand up and walk to his office.

We walk in to find him sitting there. What the hell? How did he get there so fast? We all stand in front of his desk. "Care to explain what has just happened" dad says. We don't say anything. "Who is to blame here?"

"Me" we all say together. We look at each other and smile.

"I see, well in that case, you leave me with no choice, 10 points will be taken from Slytherin and you all have detention tonight with me, now off you go."

"It was me, not them" I say. "I did it all on my own."

"Unlikely story, but I will let you explain" dad says, so I stand there and tell him what happen but leave the boys out of it.

Dad looks, shocked, proud and annoyed all at them same time, he looks at the boys. "You 4 may leave, I need to have a little word with my daughter" they look at me and they look worried. I give them a little smile.

"Leave now" dad says rising his voice a little, they nod and walk out of his office.

"Sit" he says pointing to the chair, I walk over to it and sit down. Dad looks at me. "Didn't I tell you that I would take away your Hogsmeade visits if you missed behaved again?"

"Yes dad" I say, looking at my lap.

"So, for that little prank you have just pulled will cost you 4 Hogsmeade visits."

"4? But I already have detention for the next 6 weeks for drinking."

"Just be grateful that it wasn't more." Dad looks at me. "Do you really know how to do a Disillusionment Charm?"

I nod. "Show me" I pull out my wand and wave it over myself. I'm guessing it worked because I saw his eyes widen. I undone the spell and look at him. "I'm very impressed Ava."

"Thanks, it took forever to learn it."

"5 points to Slytherin for knowing how to do a Disillusionment Charm" I smile at him. "Anyway, Potter and the Weasleys are waiting in the Great Hall for you to change them back."

I nod and stand up, making dad do the same. "Don't tell anyone I said this" dad says, walking over to me, "but that was a clever prank and definitely something your mother would have done."

"Really?"

"Oh yeah, your mother pulled a lot of prank whilst being here at Hogwarts."

"What pranks?"

"Nice try. I'm not giving you any ideas."

I laugh a little. "I wouldn't try any of them, mainly because I wouldn't want to face the punishment."

Dad smirks, then looks at his watch. "You better go and changed them back or you are going to be late for my lesson."

"Ok, it won't take that long, but a wave of my wand and they will be back to normal."

He nods, I give him a quick hug, then leave his office and rush off to the Great Hall.

I walk into the Great Hall and see Harry and the Weasley stood there talking. They all look at me. "Change us back" Ron says, walking over to me, which makes me move back a little. "You change us back right now."

Seeing him with pink hair just made me start laughing. "What's so funny?" he snaps.

"I never knew your favourite colour was pink."

"It's not."

"The shampoo you used will turn your hair your favourite colour once I said the spell" the twins and Harry looked at each other and started sniggering.

"Just change me back!"

"Relax, it would of gone back to normal after 24 hours anyway."

"I want ask you again" he tries to warn.

I roll my eyes and pull out my wand. I point it at him and his hair goes back to normal. He gives me a nasty look before roughly pushing past me and leaving the Great Hall.

I stand there rubbing my shoulder. God, a little hard dude! That kid needs to learn how to take a joke. I look at Harry and the Weasleys twins. "Ok, who's next?"

Harry smiles and sits forwards. "Red hair suites you, but" I wave my wand, making his hair go back to normal "brown is better."

"Thank you, and sorry about Ron."

"Don't be, it's not your fault he can't take a joke."

"He can, it's just that -"

"It's me, yeah, I got that."

Harry nods then leave the Great Hall.

"I don't think we have informally introduce ourselves" one of the twins say. "I'm Fred Weasley, and that ugly git is George."

I look at them one by one. "It's nice to meet you, I'm Ava Snape, but you probably knew that."

"Yeah, and we never knew that little Snape was a pranksters" Fred says.

"I'm not normally."

"You coulda fools us" George says.

"Yeah, you could give us a run for our money."

"Do you want me to turn you back to normal?"

"Nah, bye Ava" they say together, before rushing out the Great Hall. I pull my wand away and head to potions. I was almost there when I hear "Ava" I turn around and see Krum walking over to me.

"You're still alive then" I say and he laughs a little. I look at him. "I'm sorry I got you into trouble with my dad."

"It's fine, it was my own fault, I shouldn't have let you have a drink."

"I'm sorry about going a bit crazy. The fire whiskey went straight to my head."

"It's fine, it was funny seeing you like that, dancing around and singing" he says grinning.

I smile at him. "What did my dad do anyway?"

"Shouted at me for giving you the fire whiskey, he thought that I was trying to get you drunk so I could -" he stops himself.

"Could what?"

"Take advantage of you" he whispers.

"What?" I shout in shock.

"He tried to ban me from seeing you again, but I said I would take Veritaserum to prove that I wasn't. I pressed, which I don't think he was happy about, I mean he was, but I think he wanted me to fail so I would have to stay away from you."

I look at him. "I'm sorry, dads mind goes into overdrive sometimes, and he can put 2 and 2 together and come up with 5."

"It's ok. I think any father would have reacted the same way."

"I know, but I'm still sorry."

"He also gave me deletion every weekend for the rest of the year."

"The rest of the year?" I repeat.

Krum nods, then looks at me. "Do you get into trouble with your father?"

"Yeah, he gave me detention every night for the next 6 weeks."

"Oh, I'm sorry. If I had known it would have caused this much trouble, then I wouldn't have done it."

"It's fine. You didn't know this was going to happen."

"Do you want to meet in the library later today? Say about 5?"

"I would love to" I say smiling. "I'll see you tonight."

"I look forward to it" he says, moving closer to me and kissing my cheek. He so close to my lips. I look at him and he smirks. I feel myself blushing.

I say a quick good bye, then rush off to the dungeons. I walk into the classroom and everyone looks at me. "Ava, a word" dad says. I walk over to his desk. "Why are you late? Potter and Weasley turned up 15 minutes ago. Where have you been?"

"I was on my way here when I ran into Viktor, he told me what you said to him. How could you think he would do something like that?"

"I'm not talking about that here, go and sit down next to Granger, you can work with her for todays lesson."

I nod and look around for Hermione. I sigh when I say her sitting at a table with Harry and Ron. I walk over to them, Harry and Hermione smile, whilst Ron gives me a dirty look.

"Was that really you this morning?" Hermione whispers as I sit down next to her. I nod. "But how? How did you get into our common room? And their robes and hair, how did you do that?"

I sit there and tell her everything, but I leave the boys name out of it.

"Y-you, you can do a Disillusionment Charm?" Hermione asks shocked.

"Yeah, it's pretty cool."

"What's a Disillusionment Charm?" Harry asks, frowning a little. I explain what the spell does and his frown turns into a grin.

"You have to teach me that one of these days."

"And me" Hermione adds excitedly.

I laugh a little. "I will."

We don't talk after and focused on making our potions. Me and Hermione were having fun, talking and laughing quietly so dad wouldn't take points from Gryffindor. Ron wasn't too happy that we were having fun and kept giving me nasty looks the whole time.

I've ignored him up until this point, but it's starting to piss me off now. I look at him, ready to snap, but he beat me to it. "What are you looking at, snake?"

"Something ugly" I muttered that first thing that came into my mind. I see Ron's face turn red with anger.

"Shut you mouth, you nasty little snake."

"Whatever!" I carry on working, whilst Ron carries on talking.

"Did you know that people only like you because of your father? If it wasn't for him, then you wouldn't have any friends. I mean look at you, who would want to be friends with something like you? You're a snake, you're nasty, you're sly, you're a bitch, you think you're better than everyone else because of who your dad is. I bet your mother was glad the day she died because she could finally get away from a nasty little bitch like you, You-Know-Who should have finished you off too!"

I can feel tears in my eyes, but that soon turned into anger when I realised that he talked about my mom. I glare at him

"What? Going to hex me? Going to prove that I'm right?" he asks.

"No, I'm going to do this instead" I say and he looks at me confused. I climb over the table and kick him in the cheat, he groans and falls onto the floor. I get on top of him and just start punching him in the face.

I was about to punch him again when someone dragged me off Ron. "Get off me!" I say, struggling against their grip.

"Calm down, Ava" dad says. I look and see that he's the one who's got me.

"No, let me go so I can beat him some more."

"Enough!" dad shouts, and I stop struggling and stand there, but dad doesn't let me go knowing that I will jump on Ron again.

"You have just proven my point, snake" Ron mutters, as he gets up off the floor. I look at him and see that he's got a bloody nose and a cut lip.

"I've proved nothing! Anyone would have acted the same way after you have just said. You think you know me, but you don't know a thing about me, and if you ever talk about my mom like that again, then I swear to god I will hex you, and trust me when I say I know a lot of painful ones that I will happily use on you!"

He glares at me. "Drop dead!" I kick him between the legs, making him hold himself and fall to the floor.

"Enough Weasley!" dad shouts. "50 points from Gryffindor and detention for the next 4 weeks" he says, before he drags me out of the room. Dad closes the door behind him and because I'm so angry, I just start crying.

Dad sighs and pulls me into a hug. "Why did you do that for, Ava?"

"He was calling me names, then he started talking about mom."

"I can understand why that would make you angry, but that dose not give you the rights to go around hitting someone like that."

"I didn't plan on hitting him because he was only calling me name, give I don't give a shit about. But I just saw red when he talked about mom. I don't even know how he found about what happened to her, I've only told Draco, the boys and Hermione."

I pull away from dad. "Hermione, that little so and so" before dad could stop me, I rush back into the classroom. Everyone looks at me, but I look at Hermione. "You" she looks at me worriedly. "You told him after you promised me you wouldn't?"

"I did -"

"Save it" I cut her off. "I can't trust you after this. We are no longer friends."

I turn around to leave, but dad stops me. I look up at him. "Unless you want me to hit Hermione too, then I suggest you let me leave!"

"No, you're not leaving just so you can do something stupid."

"Well, considering my something stupid is lying on the floor" I point at Ron. "I can assure you that I'm not going to do anything stupid, unless, you allow me to stay in this classroom."

Dad groaned and moved out of the way. I walk over to the door and open it, I was about to close it when I hear Draco say "I think she played you there, sir."

"Shut it, Malfoy!" dad snaps, making a few people snigger.

I smile to myself and close the door behind me and head for the common room.

I walk into the common room and find it empty. I walk over to the chairs and sit down and let out a massive sigh. I go into my bag and pull out the photo of mom and me as a baby. I've been carry her around with me because whenever I'm upset or sad, I like to talk to her.

I look at the photo at the same time as mom smiles at the camera. I smile back, then tell her all about what as just happened in potions.

I pull out my mini guitar and wave my wand over to to make it go back to normal size. Another handy spell that Krum taught me the other day. One wave of my wand and I make any object tiny, then another wave of my wand and it turns back to it's normal size.

I put mom down on the table in front of me and start playing the guitar. I look at the photo of mom, then start singing.

"Hush now, my story

Close your eyes and sleep

Waltzing the waves

Diving in the deep

Stars are shining bright

The wind is on the rise

Whispering words

of long-lost lullabies

Oh, won't you come with me

Where the moon is made of gold

And in the morning sun

We'll be sailing

Oh, won't you come with me

Where the ocean meets the sky

And as the clouds roll by

We'll sing the song of the sea

I had a dream last night

And heard the sweetest sound

I saw a great white light

And dancers in the round

Castles in the sand

Cradles in the trees

Don't cry, I'll see you by and by

Oh, won't you come with me

Where the moon is made of gold

And in the morning sun

We'll be sailing

Oh, won't you come with me

Where the ocean meets the sky

And as the clouds roll by

We'll sing the song of the sea"

I stop singing and just play my guitar, I stop playing when I hear clapping behind me. Oh no! Who heard me? I wipe away my tears and turn around and see Draco, Blaise, Crabbe and Goyle stood there smiling, I smile at them and they walk over to me and sit down.

"That was beautiful A" Draco says smiling.

"I didn't know you could sing" Blaise says.

"I'm not that good."

"You are, that was lovely what you just sang" Goyle says.

"What's the song called?" Crabbe asks.

"Song of the sea."

"How do you know it?" Blaise asks.

"My mom would sing it to me when I was a baby and couldn't sleep, not that I really remember it, but dad made a copy of her singing it, I still listen to when I can't sleep" they look at me, I just give them a little smile.

"We saw what you did to Weasley" Blaise says smirking.

"I think the whole class did" I mutter.

"It was awesome, but why did you hit him?" Draco asks.

"He said that my mom was probably glad that she died because then she wouldn't have a nasty bitch like me has a daughter, he said Voldemort should have finished me off too" I say with tears in my eyes.

Draco puts his arm around me and I lie on his cheat.

We spend the next few hours in the common room, just talking and laughing, and it made me feel so much better. I love times like this, when it's just me and the boys, I'm glad I've got them in my life.


It's almost 5 so I'm just on my way to the library to meet Krum. I walk in and head to the back of the library and see Krum already sitting there.

"Hi" I say and it makes him jump. "Sorry, I didn't mean to make you jump."

"It's fine" he smiles. "I was in my own little world."

"Have you been here long?" I ask, sitting next to him.

"No, I got here about 2 minutes ago" he looks at me. "I heard you got into a fight with that Weasley boy who talked to you like crap at the Yule Ball."

"How do you know that?"

"It is the talk of the school. People think that it was pretty awesome."

"Oh" I say blushing a little. "I didn't know people were talking about it."

"Of course they are. Weasley got his arse kick by a girl" he laughed.

"Hey!" I say, looking at him. "Never underestimate a girl. We can do a lot more than people give us credit for."

"I would never underestimate a girl" he looks at me. "So, why did you beat him up?"

"He just said some things about my mom that's all."

"What things?"

"Just that she was probably happy when she died because she wouldn't have a bitch like me as a daughter."

"He said what?" he ask angrily.

"And now you see why I got angry and hit him."

"I would have done the same if someone said that about my mother" I see him clench his fits. "He's a prick that needs to be taught a lesson" he adds in a mutter.

I put my hand over his and he relaxes a little. "Don't do anything to him. Dad will make sure he pays for what he said."

He nods, and moves his hand so he's now holding my hand. We don't say anything else about Ron and sit there talking about Krum's school. It's mainly a school for the Dark Arts.

I don't like anything to do with the Dark Arts, but it was interesting listening to his views on it. Turns out, he's not so keen on the Dark Arts either.

Krum was about to say something, but stopped when someone cleared their throat. We turn around and see Moody stood there. He looks at me. "Snape, your father wants to see you in Professor McGonagall's office" he walked away before I could ask him what it was about.

"That's weird" I say frowning.

"What's weird?"

"If my dad wanted to see me, then he would have asked me to his office, not McGonagall's."

"Are you going to go?"

"Yeah, there must be a reason on why dad wants to meet there. Hopefully it's nothing bad."

"Come on, I'll walk with you" Krum says. I nod and we grab our thing and leave the library and walk to McGonagall's office hand in hand.

"Thanks for walking with me" I say as we reach McGonagall's office.

"Your welcome" he says smiling.

"Anyway, I better go before they start wondering why I haven't turned up yet."

He nods. "I will see you tomorrow. Hope everything goes ok, and that you're not in trouble."

"Don't put that in my head."

He laughs and pulls me closer to him. "You're very beautiful, Ava" Krum says, tucking my hair behind my. My breath got caught in my throat and my stomach tightened when he starts moving closer to my face.

Our lips were about to touch when someone cleared their throat. Krum groans and looks to see who cleared their throat. I do the same and see Ron stood there looking smug, but that soon fades when Krum gives me a nasty look.

"Can you move? You're kinda blocking the door" Ron says.

"Why don't you ask nicely and maybe we will" Krum hissed.

"It's fine, let's us move" I say, gentle pushing him away from the door. I look at Krum. "I will see you tomorrow, ok?"

He nods. I kiss his cheek which makes him smile. He winks at me, then walks off. I stand there smiling then I remember that I'm needed in McGonagall's office.

I go to walk into the office, but someone grabs my top and pulls me backwards. I stumble on my feet and end up falling on the floor. I look up and see Ron stood there smirking. Wait what? Didn't he already walk into her office?

"Not so tough now, aren't you?" he laughs, walking into the room. I groan angrily and get off the floor. I walk into the office and slam the door closed behind.

"Ava" dad snaps. "Miss Snape" McGonagall snaps, but they ended up snapping together.

"Sorry" I mutter, "I don't mean to slam the door."

I see Ron smirking at me. I roll my eyes and look around and I see Cho Change, and Fleur's little sister, Gabrielle, stood there, looking confused.

"What's going on?" I ask. "Why are we all here?"

"You are all here because you are apart of the 2nd task. You are the treasure that the champions have to rescue from the Black Lake. Mr Weasley you're Mr Potter, Miss Snape you're Mr Krum, Miss Delacour you're Miss Delacour, and Miss Chang you're Mr Diggory. You will be put under a sleeping charm that will break the moment you reach the surface of the water."

"This game is so fucked up" I mutter to myself, luckily, no one heard me. I feel a tiny hand grab mine when dad pulls out his wand. I look down and see that it's Fleur's little sister.

"You ok?" I whisper.

She shakes her head. "I'm scared" she gasped when she sees Cho fall into dads arms after he put her under the sleeping charm. "I can't do this. I don't want to do this" she panics.

I bent down in front of her. "Shh, it's ok. You're going to be ok."

"But I can't swim, what if I dr -"

"You won't. Your sister will look after you once you reach the surface of the water."

"What if she doesn't get to me in time?"

"Then someone else will get you. Don't worry, everyone will make sure your safe" Dad moves closer to her and she starts to panic again. "It's ok, he's just going to put you under the spell."

"I can't do this, I'm too scared."

"It's ok, we have all the time in the world. My dad won't do anything till you're ready."

"I didn't know he was your dad" she moves closer to me. "You're nicer than he is" she whispers.

I smirk at dad, which makes him roll his eyes. I look and see Ron staring at us. I frown to myself. I thought dad would have put him under the spell by now.

"But Ava -"

"I know, just give me a minute" I cut dad off, knowing that he was going to tell me to hurry up.

I look Gabrielle. "Shall we talk for a little bit, so it helps you to take your mind off things?" She nods. "What's your favourite animal?" I ask the first thing that came to mind.

"Erm, I have too many to choose from, but I would have to say a Dolphin."

"No way, mine too. What do you like about them?" I ask, whilst I signal to dad to stand behind her. He nods and slowly walks behind her.

"They are just so cute. Did you that you can swim wi -" she doesn't to finish her sentence because dad puts her under the sleeping charm. I caught her before she hits the floor.

"Well done, Miss Snape" McGonagall says. "You handle that perfectly."

"Thank you" I say, lying Gabrielle on the floor.

I stand up and dad looks at me. "Ready?"

"No" I hold his hand. "Ok, now I'm ready."

He gives me a little and points his wand at me. The last thing I remember before everything went black, was falling into dads arms.
