"Mr Weasley …
Put a heavy cloak and follow me, you'll be serving detention with me at Hagrid's hut …
You see there is a delicate matter he needs your assistance with …"
Erica smirked as she approached the trio at the breakfast table.
Hermione and Ginny looked at each other before Hermione asked the woman with her know it all tone
" Professor can we come too?"
Erica refrained from rolling her eyes and as gently as she could she answered " This is a detention only for Weasley, Miss Granger, not a tea party…
And if memory serves me right, don't you have detention with Mr Filch in an hour?
Now if you don't have any more stupid questions, finish your breakfast…
As for you Mr Weasley…
Try to be on time for your detention…
Hagrid's guest might be disappointed if we're late" after saying this Erica smirked, turned and went out of the Great Hall.
She had a surprise for Ronald Weasley… one he wouldn't like at all.
She had thought for two days of a fitting way to punish Ronald Weasley, but all her ideas had been only about her casting spells on Ron's masculinity, preventing it from ever getting hard, or hurting like hell when it got hard.
Then the morning before, as she sat down at the breakfast table, she noticed Hagrid seemed depressed.
And when he told her that Aragog, his pet acromantula had died the day prior she knew right then what to do.
It was perfect, the last ingredient she needed for the potion she was preparing for Dumbledore was Acromantula's Venom, and what better occasion to take it and have also a little revenge against the person who raped her and tried to kill her?
' Who also took away your ability to have kids?' asked a little voice in her head making the smile on her lips vanish as a dark shadow passed in her eyes. It had been almost three years since the 'accident' that involved her and made her lose her ability to conceive…
At first she had thought it was an accident but then she had heard Ron and Hermione talking softly to each other while she was lying in the hospital bed, faking sleep.
Erica shook her head, clearing her thoughts and entering her rooms, taking her heaviest coat and exiting again.
Once she arrived at the gates she saw Ron Weasley wrapped in a coat, a Griffondor scarf around his neck.
The redhead was sulking and kicking at the snowy ground " Are we ready, Mr Weasley?
Good, now let's go …" she marched towards Hagrid's hut while Ron followed her reluctant.
After a few minutes of silence Erica smirked and turned her head towards Ron " Mr Weasley…
How much experience have you in … Venoms?"
Ron turned to her confused " Venoms, professor?" and Erica nodded trying to hold back a smirk
" Yes, Venoms… or animals with particular venoms … like Acromantulas?" at the last word Ron suddenly stopped and turned his eyes on her.
They were wide and full of terror, as he paled dramatically, but Erica pretended tot to see it and continued on " you might have heard that yesterday, Aragog died and Hagrid seemed so devastated I decided to partecipate to his funeral, but you see I need a certain ingredient, i've run out of. And so I decided it will be good for you to learn how to extract Acromantula venom …
And maybe Snape would be impressed with you …" she had actually lied in the last part.
Severus would not be impressed, it was actually a way for her to make Ron think twice next time he committed something that was against the rules of Hogwarts.
Ron continued to follow her, his head hanging low and a funereal expression on his face.
Finally they arrived to Hagrit's hut, and Hagrid came out to greet them " Hello Professor, hello Ronald, i'm so happy you could make it.
Aragog's in the backyard …" Erica nodded at the half giant before saying " I'm sorry to hear of his departure from this world …
He might have been a very magnificent creature when he was alive …"
Hagrid blew his nose and led them in the backyard where the huge acromantula laid, dead.
Erica faked an impressed expression and said in a surprised tone " Whoa… I've never seen one so huge …
Uhm Hagrid, I wouldn't want to be indelicate, but Acromantula's Venom is one of the rarest…
Would you give me permission to take some from this magnificent exemplar?" she asked as kindly as she could and Hagrid just nodded saying " Well, I don't think he would mind … yes go ahead professor…"
Erica smiled and turned to Ron who paled " Mr Weasley …
Would you mind take this vial and fill it from Aragog's fang?
Thank you …" Ron was trembling as he took the vial and slowly approached the dead spider " Uhm Professor …
Why don't you take the venom?" he stuttered in the same squeaky girlish voice he had used four years ago when he and Erica had found themselves in front of that creature.
Erica rolled her eyes " This is your detention Mr Weasley, it's not like he's alive and he will bite you ….
Don't tell me Mr Weasley you are… afraid of a dead defenseless spider…" she said in a mocking tone.
Ron finally approached the creatures fangs and uncorked the vial placing it on one of the fangs while Erica gave him the instructions on how to extract the venom.
Once the task was done Ron quickly put the cork back on the vial and almost run away from the body returning to Erica's side and giving her the vial.
Then the woman turned to Hagrid and asked " Hagrid, would you like me to say something for Aragog?" she asked kindly and the giant, sniffed and nodded while Erica gave her respects to the departing creature.
After a few more minutes of silence she cleared her throat and said " Well, thanks Hagrid and again.. condolences for your loss …" Hagrid shook her hand gratefully and replied " thank you … Professor and Ronald … I'm relieved that at least one of his friends came to say goodbye…
If Erica had been alive … oh, that dear girl!" Erica turned and was quickly followed by Ron, who was very relieved to get away from Aragog's corpse.
After they said goodbye to Hagrid they returned to the castle and Erica dismissed Ron before she returned to her rooms in order to finish the potion meant for Dumbledore.

Severus knocked on Erica's door and entered, seeing her stirring the potion ten times clockwise before she took a vial out and he recognized immediately the fluid within " So … I guess it went fine …" he said approaching the woman who slowly dropped the venom in the cauldron and stirred.
The potion within, assumed a golden color and hissed before stabilizing, it was ready.
Severus was impressed with Erica's skills in potions and smiled as she put it in some vials before banishing the rest.
Then she gave him one of the vials and told him " yes, it went fine… you should have seen Weasleys face when I asked him to take the venom, he seemed ready to faint…"
Severus smiled and put the vial in his robes pocket before he pulled Erica towards himself and kissed her passionately " Have I ever told you how much you turn me on when you act like a slytherin?" he purred at her and Erica smiled softly
" No you didn't… but it's good to know that it affects you like that …" she purred back rubbing her hips against Severus's who bit back a moan feeling his cock stiffen. Then he slowly took Erica's face in his hands and said " Erica …
I don't want to rush things …
I feel its too early for us to …
I don't want you to regret it …
I want you to enjoy the experience …" Erica caressed his cheek before she kissed his lips softly " I understand Severus …
Don't worry, when i'm ready i'll let you know …
I trust you …" those words hit Severus, who pressed his lips fiercely to Erica's, in a passionate kiss.
When they pulled apart they were both panting " It's better if I go … before I'll do something i'll regret …" he said softly and Erica nodded.
Just as Severus was about to exit from Erica's office her voice reached him again " I love you Severus …"
He turned to her and smiled softly " I love you too Erica … Always" then he closed the door leaving Erica alone with her thoughts.

During the christmas holidays many students had gone home, but there were some that remained in the school, and Natalie Peters was one of these.
As soon as Minerva had asked the students who wished to remain at Hogwarts during the Christmas Holidays, Natalie had been one of the first students to sign, and she had felt relief…
O'malley and his friends had gone home for the holidays but that wasn't the only thing that made her happy, she was happy because she wouldn't have to go home to her parents.
Nathalie was strolling alone by the black lake, her mood was improved by the beautiful blue sky and golden shiny sun, she hummed softly between herself,not noticing a few five year Gryffindors were approaching her, she continued to stare at the beautiful skyline of the iced Black Lake and the snowy schoolgrouds.
Only when a voice said " Hey Peters!
What is a runt like you doing here?
Shouldn't you be with the other house elves in the kitchens preparing dinner, or polishing the floor?" asked the tallest of the boys with a cruel grin, while the other's snickered evilly
" Shut up, Jasper and leave me alone!" said the little girl trying to sound brave but her voice trembled and she began to panic as the boys surrounded her
" Uhg… you stink!
Hey I had an idea why don't we give you a bath?
Maybe the Black lake water will do you some good, and you can swim with the giant squid …"
Nathalie panicked, she couldn't swim… her parents had never taught her .
She felt a pair of arms lifting her from the ground as she began to yell for help and squirm, but Jasper only snickered as the other boys continued to spurr him on.
Nathalie felt panic rising within her and she stopped at once struggling as she saw one of the students breaking the ice of the water's surface with a spell creating a hole and then the arms that were holding her launched her, and she yelled.
Two seconds later she landed in the icy water and she tried to exit from the hole in the ice but her hands weren't strong enough and the cold water was penetrating her clothes impeding her movements, then she felt her strength leaving her and she slowly descended into the water.
Just as she was about to lose consciousness, she saw a cougar entering the water and reaching her, then all went black.

Erica and Severus were walking around the castle grounds, it was a beautiful day and despite the cold air, the sky was blue.
Suddenly Erica had a strange sensation at the pit of her stomach and turned towards the black lake, seeing a group of boys who were laughing and yelling and one of them had a little girl in his arms.
He approached the lake's surface, while the little girl stopped struggling, and immediately Erica recognized her, Nathalie!
Without losing a beat Erica began to run towards the boys followed closely by Severus who had seen them too.
As soon as the leader of the group had let Natalie fall into the hole in the water Erica saw Natalie struggling to stay on the surface, but she was becoming weak, then she disappeared into the water and Erica transformed into her cougar form .
With an elegant leap she delved into the water and immediately took Nathalie by the scruff off her jacket pulling her towards the surface.
As they both resurfaced Erica returned in her human form and pulled the unconscious child out of the lake and into the ground.
Then she began to try and reanimate Natahlie, after a few attempts finally the child began to cough and breath as she opened her eyes. Erica smiled at her relieved, before Natahalie began to tremble and so Erica took her into her arms and after giving the group of boy a cold and furious stare she made her way towards Hogwarts while Severus took all the boys to his quarters to give them an earful.
" Are you aware, that Miss Peters could have died today Mr Holds?" he asked Jasper in a very cold and furious tone, while all the boys looked ashamed and worried " uhm …
Professor we were just having some fun …
We didn't know Peters couldn't swim …
We were going to pull her out eventually …" said Jasper stuttering and trying to avoid Snape's gaze.
Severus glared at the arrogant brat and in a silky voice demanded " And when were you going to do that?
Once she was dead? She was lucky to have been saved by Professor Peverell! And you too were lucky…
Had you succeeded in your stupid cruel prank she would have died, and you would have ended in Azkaban …
Hasn't that thought crossed your peanut sized brains?
You would have killed an innocent child! " he yelled glaring at the students who paled finally understanding the trouble they were in, Severus continued calmly " Just pray that Miss Peters doesn't die of Pneumonia or Hypothermia …
Because if she does i'll make sure Azkaban will be the least of your worries …
And also you'll have detention with Filch till the end of the year for this stunt you pulled …" he finished in a cold tone before dismissing them.
After the group had exited his office he too exited and went to the infirmary, he wanted to make sure both Erica and Nathalie were safe.

Once he arrived there he saw Erica in her cougar form curled on the bed where Natahlie was lying, trembling and feverish.
He slowly approached Erica who had her ears flattened against her skull and was purring soothingly at the child, trying to calm her down, while Poppy was taking the girl's wet clothes to dry, all the way muttering about stupid bullies who never learned to respect other people, especially those weaker than them.
He slowly sat down and saw Erica raising her head and staring at him " I gave those miscreants an earful, I don't think they'll cause more harm to her … How's she?"
Poppy came back and said " She is under hypothermic shock, but she'll be fine…
In a week or so she would be up and about…
She was lucky you were there and intervened when you did …
Had you not I fear for what would have happened to this child…" then the mediwitch went to her office leaving Severus and Erica alone with Natahlie.
