WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY: PROFESSOR SNAPE

Usagi, after waking up and eating breakfast, walked beside Hermione; they were right behind Harry and Ron. Ever since they left their dormitory whispers were heard around Harry.

Usagi walked passing people who stared at Harry, "Have you seen his scar?" a student whispered as she passed by.

'Ami, Makoto and Minako... I'm sure that they are strange, as if I were suppose to know them,' Usagi thought as Hermione waved her hand in front of her face.

"Hello? Earth to Usagi," Hermione taunted as she waved her hand in her friends face.

"Huh? Oh sorry," Usagi laughed sheepishly.

Hermione sighed as they entered their first class, "Never mind," she said as they sat down.

Now Usagi would rather walk along side of Harry, Ron and Hermione, but Ron and Hermione they, well, don't work together right.

Along the day Usagi was surprised that they never got late to a class for the school had many doors. Some doors were just walls pretending to be doors. Whenever Usagi sat down on a desk of her next class, she would be out of breath.

Professor Quirrel educated Defence of the Dark Arts. In that class everyone thought that that class was a joke considering he smelt like garlic. Usagi shivered at least three times, whenever she did that it usually meant that something was wrong, either that or she's just cold. Usagi went along with the cold one, since Professor Quirrel seemed harmless.

For Herbology they had a little witch who was called Professor Sprout. The most boring class, Usagi had to agree, was History of Magic, for that they had Professor Binns. Professor Flitwick was the charms teacher and Professor McGonagall was the transfiguration teacher.

The worst teacher was Professor Snape, everyone knows that he was after Professor Quirrel's job. He taught potions, he also favored the Slytherins, which suck considering that they had potions right now with the Slytherins. The class was also down in one of the dungeons, which practically creeped Usagi out, yet surprisingly, she didn't shiver.

Professor Snape started his class by taking a register. For some reason he stopped at Usagi's name, all the professors seem to do that except for Quirrel. Snape looked down at her and said, "You will show much promise this year, Usagi," he said to her, after a pause he continued on. Hermione, who was sitting beside her, looked at her with confusion. She quickly put that aside when Snape called out her name. Malfoy was looking at Usagi too, with interest as well.

"Harry Potter," Snape stopped at that name as well, his eyes held a glint of disgust, "Potter, our new celebrity."

Malfoy turned his attention from the blonde to the oh-so-famous Harry Potter now. Rei, Crabbe and Goyle looked at Harry also; In fact everyone looked at the two.

The Professor smirked and asked him, "Potter what would you get if you added powdered root to an infusion of wormwood?"

Immediately Hermione's hand shot up into the air. Usagi looked at her, 'Great if Harry doesn't get this right or don't even answer at all, Snape is going to take points off of our house,' Usagi thought while hating Snape even more for picking on Harry.

Sure Usagi amused Malfoy, but now he was even more amused on Harry's desperate condition in answering the question.

Usagi could see Harry hesitating in answering the question but he did, "I don't know sir,"

Usagi could see the Professor smirk. She also felt another eyes gleaming with satisfaction from Harry's reply. She turned around to see Malfoy smirking at her now. Usagi frowned and turned around and watched the scene again.

"Tut, tut- clearly fame isn't everything," Snape didn't stop there, he asked again, "Potter, where can you find me a bezoar?"

Usagi watched intently as Hermione's hand stretched higher in the air. She bit her tongue not wanting to shout at the Professor that he was being unfair. Usagi could feel Harry freeze in both discomfort and embarrassment. She could also feel Malfoy and his gang laughing.

Again Harry replied, "I don't know, sir,"

Snape continued to ask another one while ignoring Hermione's hand, "What is the difference between monkshood and wolfsbane?"

Hermione was desperate, she waved her hand back and forth; she also shot out of her seat. Usagi bit her lower lip when Harry said, "I don't know but, why don't you ask Hermione, she seems to know the answer,"

Usagi gulped in pity for Harry as most of the class erupted with laughter, especially Maloy and his gang. Usagi frowned at Professor Snape when he wasn't looking; in fact his full attention was on Harry.

"Sit down," the Professor snapped at Hermione. After that he started to answer all of Harry's questions. The answers seem to hit Harry face on. Usagi started to get out her quill and scribbled everything he'd said.

After he was finished he said, "Well, why aren't you all copying it all down?" As he said that everyone took out their quills and started to scribble, except for Usagi of course, since she already got it copied down. Snape continued to talk, "A point will be taken away from Gryffindor House for your cheek, Potter,"

After that they continued. Usagi was paired up with Hermione, while Harry and Ron got paired up, everything was going well except when Neville added the porcupine quills before taking the cauldron off the fire. Snape was angry and told Seamus to take Neville to the hospital wing.

"Potter, why didn't you tell him not to put porcupine quills before taking the cauldron out of the fire? That's another point you lost for Gryffindor," Snape said as he walked toward Malfoy.

Usagi could see that Harry was going to blow, but got calmed down when Ron kicked him behind the chair. Ron whispered something to make Harry quiet.

Snape seemed to favor Malfoy out of all the Slytherins. He would usually comment how well Malfoy seems to do this and that. Usagi would roll her eyes and mutter, "What ever,"

Around five to three Usagi saw Harry and Ron go to Hagrid's small wooden house, which was at the edge of the forbidden forest.

Usagi ignored them and went to the library to do her homework. The library was stacked with books on shelves. There was History in Magic section, famous witches and wizards' section and information on Muggles etc.

Usagi set her wand beside the book; she was studying about a witch who discovered a cure for magic cancer (I know corny, I just needed something, you know?) when this white cat jumped on the book she was reading.

Usagi gasped and panted until she got a good look at this cat. It was a male, he had an upright crescent mark on his forehead like the one she saw in the pet store, where she bought Ino.

She stared at the cat intently as it walked on the table she was sitting at. He stretched at least twice and suddenly he took her wand into his mouth, jumped off and ran out of the library. Usagi frowned. She got up quickly and ran after the annoying cat.

She followed him around the corner then into the Great Hall and out. Sweat was forming from her forehead, but she narrowed her eyes in determination in catching the cat. He was smart, she had to admit, but he was also driving her nuts!

Then, after ten minutes, the cat ran into Malfoy! The cat immediately dropped the wand and ran away. Malfoy raised an eyebrow then he bent over to retrieve the wand.

"That's mine!" Usagi shouted as she was panting, trying to get her breath back.

Malfoy smirked, "Really? What is it made of?"

Usagi look up, surprised for a second to see that Rei, Crabbe or Goyle near him. She shook her head and said, "It's made of Moon stone, star dust and tears from the Milky Way, 11 inches."

"I've never heard of a moon stone or star dust and especially tears from the Milky Way," Malfoy said in a mocking tone, as if she was crazy.

"Well, there's a first time for everything," she snapped as she grabbed the wand away.

Malfoy's eyes narrowed, he was going to say something when Usagi whispered, "What's this?" she bent over and picked up what seemed like a newspaper.

Malfoy sighed in annoyance as she held the paper and walked towards the library, 'I'll deal with her later,' he thought as he walked towards the Slytherin House, 'She's interesting,' with that thought he got interrupted by Rei.

Usagi held up the paper and read it. The paper said something about Gringotts being robbed and that this was the follow up, 'Of course! I remember Gringotts being robbed,' she thought. She heard students talking about it when the sorting was done, what was so weird was that it got robbed in the same day she got her supplies. Usagi shivered.

"Cold?" a male voice asked.

Usagi turned around and saw Harry. She blushed lightly and answered, "No, I just think that something's wrong about Gringotts being robbed,"

"Yeah, I know," said Harry, then after a short pause he asked, "Where's Hermione?"

Usagi blinked, "In the girl's dormitory studying a History in Magic,"

Harry smiled and nodded. He seemed to be hesitating to ask her something, but after a minute he asked, "Would you like to studying with me," he had a light blush on his face,"

Usagi smiled at the cute picture he made, "Sure,"

With that said they walked into the library, sat by each other and studied. Every now and then she would shiver and tell Harry that something was wrong. He would just say that it was just cold. Usagi would then nod and ignored the bad feeling. She knows something was wrong and it wasn't Harry that's for sure.

At dinner in the Great Hall she shivered again when Snape and Quirrel came in and sat in their seats at the teacher's table.

After dinner Usagi was at the balcony looking at the moon while Harry was at the other balcony admiring her beauty.

Harry frowned; 'Admiring her beauty?' that thought disturbed him. He shook his head and went back in after feeding Hedwig, his snowy owl.

Usagi waited till Ino came down and perched on the stone rail, not even noticing Harry going in. Usagi smiled as she stroked Ino's beautiful feathers, 'Soft, beautiful and free to go wherever you want to go. Me? Us people have to keep their reputation and what knots. I wish I was a bird,' Usagi thought. After feeding Ino she went back in and went to sleep.

A white cat sat on the roof of the Hufflepuff House. It, or he, waited for something. He stared at the balcony where Usagi had just been.

"Have you seen her?" A female voice asked.

"Yes, Luna, I have," the white cat answered as a black cat came out of the shadows.

She sighed, shook her head and asked, "What do you think of her, Artimis?"

The cat, Artimis, replied, "Determined, graceful, smart and brave. King Lance and Queen Selenity would have been proud,"

"Very proud indeed," Luna said as they looked up at the full moon.
