I awoke at a normal time. Patricia had called off the lesson this morning to give me a break.

"Are you OK?" Hermione was awake and looking at me.

"Mentally or physically?" I asked as I was sitting up groaning.

"Did," She paused looking at me while I was massaging my hip. "S-snape do it?" She shuddered at the thought.

"Hell no. Leave him out of this. He would not harm me." I said with anger. "Why does everyone seem to think that he would abuse me? He is a very thoughtful man mind you. Very gentleman like and quite the romantic! "

"Whatever you say.." she said rolling her eyes. "Who gave you the rose?"

"What rose?" I asked her.

"The rose on the nightstand." She said stepping over to the nightstand and picking it up. She handed it to me.

"Never seen it before" I said twirling the rose between my fingers.

"Weird. Oh well lets go eat breakfast."

"One moment. I need to get dressed." I quickly dressed and went down to the common room. Ron and Harry were waiting for us and we made our way down to the great hall. I still had the rose in my hand and we were all talking about whom it could be from. We continued walking but Ron and Harry paused for a second and stood still.

"Look at Snape.." Harry managed to say in a whisper. We both turned and looked at him and Hermione got caught staring at him too. But no, not me, I looked at him for only a mear second before running up and jumping onto him. As I jumping onto him the rose fell out of my fingers onto the ground.

"You cut your hair!" I screamed and a few students turned to see what was going on.

"I do believe that is what you wanted." He said in a deep low voice. He set me on the ground. "You are drawing to much attention to us." He bent over and picked up the rose. " I see you have found the rose?"

"Its from you?!" I asked.

"Yes."

"God I love you." I said falling into his arms.

"Hurry, or we will be late for breakfast." He stated as I removed myself from his body and walked down to the great hall. By the time it was over there were more than three students with open mouths walking towards the great hall.

It's weird walking into a class and have everyone turn around and stare at you and then begin whispering again. I was sitting down in my usual spot and I could hear a conversation,

"Well I heard that he cut her hair just for her!"

"How romantic!" Two Slytherins chattered.

Then Snape walked in. I smiled and noticed that his hair wasn't as greasy with short hair. After explaining the potion we would be making he asked us to go to our cauldrons and start working. I limped over to the usual one with Hermione.

"Miss Miller," His voice called. "I believe that you shall be working with a new partner today." His eyes were glittering the whole time. He led me over to a girl that I hadn't ever really seen. She smiled shyly at me. I could tell she was a Slytherin by the green and Silver on her robes. "Miss Miller, this is Miss Yarrow." He said and then leaned over to me and whispered, "You should go to the Hospital for that hip of yours." That was all he said before leaving. She was quite intelligent and I barely needed to tell her what to do (had to do that with Harry one time). I felt Severus staring at me most of the time.

"So, you are a Gryffindor?" She spoke halfway through the class period.

"Yes, and you are a Slytherin I presume?" I asked back continually stirring our potion.

"Yes, sadly. Sometimes I wonder why the hat put me there and then I remember." She giggled a bit at the last part. "I guess I'm purly evil inside me, but on the outside I show nothing."

"I don't wanna hurt your feelings or anything, but I didn't even know who you were before."

"You aren't hurting my feelings, being sneaky is a part of being Slytherin, well to some people." Her eyes darted over to Draco. "My name is Elizabeth,"She said holding her hand out, and I shook it. "And of course I know you, Miss Kayla Miller. Who could forget the first Potions lesson with you! Bravo by the way! Why weren't you placed in Slytherin?" She asked.

"I'm not really sure sometimes, but then others I am. I can't say I am more of one house than the other. There are times when I am brave, times when I am loyal, times when I am wise, and certainly times when I am cunning. Surprised the sorting hat didn't add evil to the Slytherin part." I said to her hopeing I hadn't heard hurt her feelings.

"We aren't all evil, I mean take your boyfriend for instance. He can be nice sometimes, can't he?" Boyfriend? I had never heard him had that title.

"Yes, I wouldn't be going with him if he wasn't nice all the time." I said with pride.

"So, He didn't hurt your hip?" She asked timidly.

"Heavens and Hell no! It's a damned riding accident and I wish everyone would stop thinking he's abusive." I said in a quiet shout.

"Sorry," She said softly.

"It's not your fault, I'm sorry, it just has really been annoying me.." I dragged off and Severus walked up.

"Excellent job you two, I of course picked wonderful partners for the two of you."

"Lucky guess," I whispered and we both giggled behind his back. He turned and looked at us, we tried to stop giggling but we really couldn't help ourselves.

"I could make more un-lucky guesses if you would want, Miss Miller." His tone was strict but he had a grin on his face. "You are dismissed," He said and turned around to inspect the other potions.

"Seeya 'round." Elizabeth shouted as she left through the door.

"'Bye!" I shouted after her.

I went up to my room only to change into my riding clothes and go downstairs. I was going to work Lightning and then look at the dressage test for my show. I would have just enough time to do that and maybe a little homework. I hurried as fast as I could out to the stables.

When the knock on the door came I almost expected it to be Kayla. I found myself correcting papers when the knock echoed through the classroom.

"Come in." I stated looking at the door. When it opened an unlikely student came in though.

"Sir I demand you share her with me, If not I shall tell father." Draco Malfoy protested walking towards the desk. The little boy knew nothing about nothing but thought he knew everything that was going on.

"What are you talking about Draco." I asked him in a silky voice.

"If she has good enough sex for you, I only think it is right to share her with me." The boy spoke proudly, but really had no clue.

"You are so stupid sometimes, I wonder what happen to your father's genes sometimes."

"I want her or I will tell my father." He screamed. Truly a spoiled brat.

"Find some Slytherin bitch to fuck, she is not mine to give away and you telling your father is not scaring me at all."

"You asshole. You'll pay for this." He shouted walking out of the room in a huff. A wonderful time to send an owl to his father.

I was sitting in the library after dinner with Hermione. She was helping me with her charts for Arithmancy. I overheard a conversation between to Slytherins the table next to us.

"Muggles are truly ruining our world as we know it." One boy stated.

"Yes, I mean they pollute the whole world!" added another girl.

"Well it isn't their faults they weren't born with magic." One girl added.

Hermione I could tell was a little angry by their thoughts. I got up and walked over taking the empty chair at the table. Hermione turned looked at me and rolled her eyes.

"Well you are both right, It isn't our fault and yet we are ruining the whole world. In America especially, we say we are free and yet we treat anyone differnently with crap! I think that the 'muggles' need to learn how to take care of the area around them. They make things that will help them just because they are just to lazy to do it themselves. All they care about is saving time, and making convenience not worring about everything they are killing, everything they are polluting and everything they are ruining for themselves. America shows hardly any respect for their so called freedom. We abuse it and do not use it justly. We say all men are created equal and yet African Americans weren't even equal till past the 60's and same with the woman. Some argue that it only states men and not the woman, but does it mean the humans, or the male species. Clearly they should have been more specific." Through out the whole speech I said they all were staring at me. I noticed that Severus And McGonagall had stopped to hear me out on their run for tea. The students still looked at me blankly. Clearly not what they expected a Mudblood to say. I smiled and turned around and walked back to the table Hermione was sitting at.

"Where were we?" I asked picking up my pencil.

The teachers crowded around the table in the lounge just as soon as the hubbub got around to all of them. McGonagall was clearly the gossiper as she told everything she had 'heard', with of course the corrections from Snape.

"Clearly a lack of pride." Mumbled Professor Sprout after McGonagall had finished.

"Certainly not. Just because she realizes the problems in her own country does not mean that she is against her country." Severus stated getting tired of them making a big deal about everything the girl said.

"Of course you would stick up for her," muttered McGonagall.

"Nice haircut." Hooch said and all the lady teachers started giggling.

"You are all impossible." Severus sighed got up and left the room. He caught up with Kayla walking out of the Library.

I was walking out of the Library and I saw Severus coming up.

"Hermione, will you please take my books upstairs?" She looked ahead to see why I asked her too. She smiled and answered.

"Of course."

He came up to me and put his arm around me shoulders.

"Nice speech." He said grinning.

"erm- thanks."

"What aren't you proud of it?"

"Not especially.." I said.

"Well you sounded good. By the way you have a little admirer, Draco came and spoke to me this afternoon."

"Oh, how delightful. By the way, thanks for introducing me to Elizabeth."

"I know aren't I great?" He said smiling.

"Act like yourself." I said punching him playfully. "I need to go to bed soon. I am only stopping in for a kiss before I go upstairs to sleep."

"Awww, I'll miss you." He smiled and me and brought me a little closer.

We stepped into the dungeons only for a moment for us to kiss and then I turned around and headed up to the common room.

"I'm guessing that you are the cause of the dramatic change of Severus's hair?" Michael came up behind me and asked.

"Yes I am."

"You know. I will always love you." He said making a sharp left and going up the stairs to his office.

A/N

Wow. Ok. Here we go, I think I have a lot to say but I will probably forget most of it! Ummm yeah so how's it going everyone?! lol Well I just really wanted to finish this chapter because I won't be updating as much as usual because I am in the process of editing all my stories to kinda of clear up all the messed up crap. I read over them and I couldn't believe that I wrote the crap in them because it was really horrible. And I am making all the confrontations with Michael correct to the prequel of the story. And I am making up a new story about kinda the real snape if I can say that. Its kinda dark and romantic and deathy. For whoever said that he wasn't acting like himself- my new idea would make him be a little too dark for what you think he is. Umm what else do I have to say. Um wow I am soo happy at the reviews I am getting, thank you very much!! (

Jady Juleya- Thanks for reviewing on every chapter I write! I am happy to see another BJD fan! Please write more of your story too!

Helen- I'm sorry I didn't answer thequestion you e-mailed me but I didn't want to give anything away. I hope this chapter maybe cleared it up a little bit but if not just keep going, It will diffenatly clear up in a bit… (
