This must stop. This must come to an end. Everything was becoming to complicated. She had to talk about it. But she couldn't discuss it with one of her friends. So the only person who had the right to know it, was Snape himself. That's what Megan decided to do, tomorrow, straight after the lesson. She knew it would take a lot of courage, but she didn't want to think of the terrible things that might happen.
Just like the first time Snape told her to stay behind, she was very nervous. When all of her classmates were gone, she walked to his desk. Snape was reading some stuff.
"Professor, I've got some things to say." She said.
"Can't you say that another time?" he said, not looking up from his desk.
"No."
"Well then, hurry, because I'm very busy as you might see."
"Okay. I. I know this might sound strange, but. Professor, I'm in love with you."
Megan could see a little shock going trough him, but that was all. He just went on with his work.
"If that's all, you can leave now." He said. Megan was surprised first, but she recovered, and wouldn't just let this be it. "I mean it. I'm in love with you."
Snape sighed. "Most of the children your age are falling in love. That's called the puberty." His voice was very calm and kill. "Ask Madame Pomfrey for more information. Now please go, I said I'm very busy."
"I don't care if it's the puberty, I know what I'm feeling. And I'm in love with you." She was sounding just as calm, but Megan felt not that down-to- earth.
"Leave, Miss Reynolds." His voice was broken, but Megan didn't stop.
"I'm in love with you, I'm in love with you, I'm in love with you. I'm-In- Love-With-You."
Snape now stood up, and his face was colder than ever. "Now listen to me," he said, trying to control himself. "You don't know me. Just be glad you don't know me. If you knew me, you would beg you wouldn't know me. Hardly anybody knows me."
"I do." A voice said. It was Dumbledore, standing in the door opening. "Can I talk to you for a moment?" he asked to Snape, which nodded. Megan nodded too, and walked past Dumbledore, which smiled friendly. He closed the door, and for a moment Megan didn't know what to do. Then she bends to the door. "You shouldn't do this," a little voice in her head told her.
"Yes you should," another said. Megan's curiosity won.
"Seems like you've got a new admirer, Severus!" she heard Dumbledore say.
"That's not funny, Albus," Snape said. "That's not funny at all."
"You're still feeling guilty, aren't you?" Dumbledore said.
A silence fell, which Dumbledore considered as a 'yes'.
"We're living in the present, Severus. Not in the future and certainly not in the past. What happened, happened. I've told you this over thousand times."
Snape still kept silence. Dumbledore sighed, and for Megan it was time to ran off. She quickly ran to the Ravenclaw Common Room. Now thoughts were rushing trough her head. She did it. She told him. It was a relieve, that's for sure. But what was that suppose to mean? What did Snape feel guilty about? Should she ask Dumbledore? No, then he would know she had eavesdropped their conversation. But he had eavesdropped her conversation too!! That was pretty cheeky, by the way. Now what could she do? Nothing. And so she did.
Next day, after class, Megan was sitting in the library, with Chris. They saw Malfoy and his gang coming in. Chris sighed. "What's HE doing in the library?" she said.
Megan shrugged her shoulders. Probably to bore some first years. She was right. Malfoy walked to the table where Chris and Megan were sitting, and without asking he grabbed the piece of parchment where Chris was working on. She tried to grab it back, but Draco pulled it away and read it.
"Hm, interesting!" he said. "When did Sir Agauston von Sevander die? Wow, I remember I had to learn that 4 years ago! But it's not 1696, it's 1784. You've been working on this for a long time, haven't you?"
Chris didn't say a thing, but only gave him a very deadly look.
"Well, if you don't answer, I suppose you don't care. Then I'll burn it-"
"Give it back." Megan said.
Malfoy's eyes grow big. Megan knew what he was thinking. A first years mudblood commanding HIM, a fourth years Slytherin? He kept silence, and threw the parchment back on the table, still looking at Megan. Slowly he walked around her, and Crabbe and Goyle were following him. Then before she knew, he had grabbed something else from the table. A shock went trough her. Her diary! Megan stood up, and her chair felt.
"Give it back!!" she yelled. Please, she thought. Don't open it!! Megan nervously looked for somebody to help. Chris was gone. She looked back to Malfoy again, which had opened the clasp.
"STOP THAT!" she yelled again, and pulled her wand. Malfoy looked at her.
"What spell are you going to use? Lumos?" he laughed sarcastically.
"Accio!" The diary flew out Draco's hands, and Megan catched it. Draco laughed, and picked his wand too.
"Is that all you're going to do? Accio!!" The diary flew back again.
"Accio!"
"ACCIO!"
"Accio!"
"Accio diary! Accio wand!" Draco said, and both things flew to him. He gave the wand to Crabbe, and the opened the diary again.
"I don't understand why I'm acting so strange." he said with a sweet voice. Then he laughed. "You're not only acting strange, you ARE strange!" Megan's face turned red, and she ran to him. He pulled it away again, and this made Megan angrier.
"LAST TIME MALFOY! GIVE IT BACK!" she yelled again. Draco started to laugh hysterical, and Megan now exploded. She gave him a powerful punch in his stomach, and Draco's laughing went into a scream. Then she kicked him to his hollow of his knee, and he fell on the ground. She quickly grabbed her diary, and her wand from a surprised Crabbe. Then she was frightened by that angry voice.
"Miss Reynolds, I saw that!!"
She turned around, and saw Snape standing next to Chris, who was looking very guilty.
"40 points from Ravenclaw! And you'll hear more about this. Crabbe, Goyle, bring Malfoy to the hospital wing."
Then he walked away. Chris ran to Megan.
"I'm so sorry Megan!" she said, almost cried. "I was looking for somebody to help, so I yelled for help, and then Snape appeared out of nowhere, and he commanded me to tell me what was wrong! So I did, and when we came in we saw you kicking Malfoy.... I'm so sorry!!"
Megan nodded. Chris could be so stupid.
"It was my fault too. I shouldn't attack him."
"Why not? It was just HIS fault, okay?"
"Okay."
"Now let's go finish our homework."
Megan ran out the castle, into the coldness. Because of the rain you couldn't see her tears. But they were there. The storm was blowing the sand to Megan's legs. The sky was dark. Megan felt dizzy, and fell on the ground. Everything went black.....
Megan woke up. Quickly she closed her eyes. Everything was so light. She felt so strange. When she opened it again she saw that she was laying on a bed in a absolutely white room. How did she came here? Suddenly she got an enormous headache, and she closed her eyes. Then she saw herself, going into the dungeon. What was she doing? She heard a voice, far away, and she opened her eyes again. It was Madame Pomfrey.
"Are you okay?" she asked.
Megan still felt the headache, but it was a little bit settled down already, so she nodded yes.
"Aspirin please..." she asked with a hoarse voice. Pomfrey walked away. Not much later she heard footsteps, and saw Dumbledore coming in. He had a worried look on his face, which frightened Megan. He walked to her, and sat on a stool next to her bed.
"Do you remember anything?" he asked.
"What happened to me?" she asked.
"Take a look at yourself."
Dumbledore gave her a broken mirror. Why was it broken? She looked at it, and her mouth fell open. She fell the headache immediatly, and now she saw herself drinking a potion, and then... Transforming. Then she grab a mirror, and you could see the shock on her face. She was a good looking, grown-up woman now. She dropped the mirror. It was broken. Then she ran out.
Megan opened her eyes again.
"I remember." Megan said. "I drunk the potion. I..- I don't know what I was thinking...."
Dumbledore nodded. "It's okay. Love can let us do crazy things. But next time... Please first think, and then consider what to do. It could have killed you. And you've been very lucky that you're only 20 years older, and not 50 or something."
"Now what? Will they make me a child again?"
Dumbledore kept silence. Then he shook his head no. "No, they can't. The potion you drunk is far to powerful to cancel."
Megan took a good breath. On one side she felt relieved, but on the other she felt so dumb. She had just took 20 years from her life away.
"I'm so sorry." she said.
Dumbledore smiled for the first time since he had entered the room.
"Just do what you can, so that this all won't be useless. Take a good rest. And don't worry about anything, I'll take care of it."
Megan nodded, and Dumbledore walked away. Madame Pomfrey gave her the aspirin, and a drink. She fell in a deep sleep.
