Chapter 6. Schedules, fights, and Madam Pomfrey.
The next morning everyone woke early and were well rested as they headed downstairs. Today was the first days of classes and they were all excited. The sixth years would be specializing. Harry himself was going to have fun; even though he still had potions he wasn't as concerned though with him as his uncle. Harry sat down to breakfast and picked up his schedule. Groaning her watched as his classes appeared, "Divination first. Drat, I was hoping I wouldn't have to deal with her for a few days. " "Deal with who Harry?" George Weasley asked coming up behind him. "My aunt." "Oh professor Potter-Snape." "Don't say that" Harry said shivering at his aunt's name. "Come now Harry could be worse Snape could be your father." "Thanks for putting that in prospective George." Harry finished breakfast not bothering to finish looking at his schedule. Stuffed it into his bag, he grabbed Ron and by the scruff "come on or we'll be late."
They made it just as the bells tolled. Marking the start of class. "So good you could make it boys next time make sure you are here before the bell rings will you." Gwen said as she ushered them in. "Now as you all know this is 6th year divination. No false predictions will work here. You should have learned how to do your charts by now, let's however start trying to call on true predictions. I want everyone to close their eyes, take a deep breath and focus on someone, something, or an event that is coming up." Gwen said as she strolled around the aired out classroom. Just let them come; the class started taking deep cleansing breaths. Gwen kept talking in a soothing voice. Soon the class had fallen into meditation. Harry himself was calmly listening to his aunt's voice. She doesn't sound evil hell with my eyes closed she sounds sweet and good and kind. He thought soon however, Harry felt himself fall back.
"I don't care Severus; I can not appear before him no matter how much you or he wishes it. "I'm afraid my love you do not have a choice." "He is trying to kill James you told me that yourself. If he asks for info I won't be able to help him. I can't, I won't betray my brother." "Well Love what can I say you better think of something to tell him, cause if you love me as much as you say." "I know we decided this but Sev if he asks about James I don't think I can do it." "Gwenyver this is just an initiation and getting your mark." "You promise?" "Yes Gwen now quiet acting like a child." Harry watched as Professor Snape embraced his Aunt. He jumped as he felt a hand. "Harry wake up" "Urgh!" "Wake up Harry. Class is over." "Huh?' Harry said finally waking up with a start. "What is it Harry?" Gwen asked concerned. "I think I had a vision" "Really tell me about it." She said sitting down in front of Harry "Well you were talking to professor Snape; you were talking about not betraying dad. I'm pretty sure you were on your way to your first meeting with Voldemort." "Oh Harry, I'm sorry you were thinking of me instead of something else weren't you?" Harry nodded/ Gwen smiled, "do me a favor don't think about me while you are in this class ok." Harry looked at his aunt and for the first time saw the pain in her eyes. "You really didn't betray my dad did you" "No I didn't surprisingly though Voldemort never asked. I would never have said anything anyway. In fact another Death eater tried to get me to talk; I was unconscious for 2 days after that." "I'm sorry" "Don't be, I brought it on myself. It was my own fault for ever getting involved." She whispered. Harry looked at Gwen and gave a small smile, "take care okay." Gwen nodded, "I always do." Harry couldn't help but catch the thinness of her voice and wondered what had happened to cause her to go to Germany.
Gwen sat shaking for a long time after Harry left. It had been a particularly trying evening the night for her. She had ended up in Severus Chambers that night only because Dumbledore seemed to take great pleasure in making her life miserable sighting that there were no other rooms available at the moment. "But Albus surly there is another place for me." "Professor Snape I'm afraid that we were not prepared for you wanting other rooms. I will rectify the problem as soon as possible. But when Severus said that you wished to board with him." "It's alright Albus I understand perfectly" Gwen said glaring at her husband. Severus had been gloating the rest of the evening and had even had the gall to proposition her. How she had wanted to crawl into his arms, it had taken all of her will power and even then the only thing that had kept her away was his attitude. Gwen shook as the feelings came back. Swearing she grabbed the first thing in reach and threw it. The ink bottle hit the wall with a crash as the ink spattered everywhere. "Bad day?" Remus said walking into the class room eyebrows raised, "Bad life." She mumbled as she pointed her wand at the mess and cleaned it up. "You never did tell me why you wouldn't let me sleep in your quarters last night." "Easy I didn't want to get between you and Severus; I made that mistake once with lily and James when they were fighting never again." "This is different I haven't been with Severus in over 15 years." "It doesn't matter love, you and he still love each other to distraction. I refuse to get involved." Gwen glared at Remus, "I do not still love that greasy Git." "Hmm now you're sounding like Sirius, it must be love." Gwen turned her back on Remus, "Don't ever say that again, I'm way better then that over grown child." Remus laughed, "Was there a reason for your intrusion?" "Just wanted to see how it went last night. However, I think I have received my awnser and therefore will leave you to destroy your classroom as you see fit and we'll see you at lunch." "See you later moony." Gwen said as she prepared her room for the next class.
Harry and Ron had been headed to their next class as they met up with Hermione. "What took you guys so long; I've been waiting here for awhile?" "Sorry, had to talk to Gwen. I had a vision about her." "Did you see her going back to you-know who?" "No, she was talking about how she wouldn't betray my day." "I still don't trust her" Ron said shaking his head, "I think she's still working for him." "I don't think so Ron. I think that she ran away when he killed my parents." Ron shrugged, "If she wasn't there when he did it maybe." "Come on guys we don't want to be late." Hermione piped in having stayed quiet. The three had just started to pick up the pace when they heard a voice, "Hold up Potter, I think I have some information that might just want to hear." Harry, Ron and Hermione all stopped and rolled their eyes. "I doubt it Malfoy but what is it you want?" Harry said turning around "Well I heard that professor Snape has killed more then her fair share of wizards, I'd beware she might kill you next. "Don't call her that, her name is Professor Potter-Snape we are under direct orders not to just call her Snape. She even went as far as to say we could just call her professor potter." "Well her Husband has said otherwise." Malfoy said putting emphasis on the word husband. "Well that's up to you, but I wouldn't do it in front of her if I was you." Ron said remembering the way she had looked on the train. "If you are quiet done Malfoy." "Hardly, she is quite the dark witch isn't she potter, think she helped kill your parents?" Harry had been trying to keep himself in check but was finally not able to do so anymore; he pulled his wand, took aim and yelled, "ExcorioCrinis" Immediately Malfoy was removed of his hair, leaving him bald. Malfoy retaliated quickly "Foeteo" Harry immediately smelt the horrible smell; "galbinus" Malfoy immediately turned a green-yellow "Diluo oratio" Harry's eyes widened as he was unable to speak anymore "Malfoy you stupid git," Ron said. He was just about to hex him when he heard him "Stop it right now." Ron turned around to see Professor McGonagall He immediately started trying to explain, "Enough Mr.Weasley, I can see for myself. Mr.Malfoy head to Madam Pomfrey, You have relieved Slytherin of 10 points. And you Mr. Potter should now better as a prefect and so 20 points have been removed from Gryffindor. Get to madam Pomfreys perhaps she can bring your speech back and get rid of the smell. And you two, get into class." Everyone moved the minute McGonagall was done. Draco and Harry giving each other dirty looks. Harry angry and not being able to speak pushed Draco into the wall. Before getting the rest of the way to the infirmary. "What happened to you two?" Madam Pomfrey asked as she looked at the two boys both covered with the hexes and various other hurts they'd managed to inflict on each other as they had made their way to the infirmly. Efficient as always the medi witch started counteracting the hexes, the first being making Harry able to speak. "Stupid git was attacking the character of Professor Potter-Snape." He said as he glared at Draco." Not another word you two" that said Madam Pomfrey started countering and healing the rest of the boys injuries. She smiled as she finished, "Alright Mr. potter you can go. Might as well head for lunch since it will be served soon. Hold still, Mr.Malfoy I still need to fix your hair.' She said as Malfoy started to stand up. Harry laughed, "Later Malfoy." Harry said taking off towards the great hall.
The next morning everyone woke early and were well rested as they headed downstairs. Today was the first days of classes and they were all excited. The sixth years would be specializing.
