Chapter 6:
Leia and her uncle walked back to the classroom. Hermione still stood inside the doorway. She smiled with relief when she saw Leia was smiling.
"Why are you still here?" Severus growled at her. Hermione glared at him then smiled at Leia.
"I wanted to make sure Leia was all right." Severus' demeanor changed dramatically.
"Oh…let me write you a pass to your next class. Wouldn't want you getting in trouble for looking after a friend, would we?" Severus mumbled walking towards his desk. Hermione looked after him in awe. Perhaps having Leia around would change his ways for good. He handed her the paper then snarled "Well, go on then. I have other classes, you know?" Or perhaps not. Hermione hustled out of the door and off to her next class. Leia sat where she had previously been sitting and looked around the classroom. Severus walked back into his office and fixed her a glass of water, adding a few drops of a potion into it.
"Here you go. I think you might need some liquids after all that excitement." Severus said handing her the water glass. Leia took a sip. Snape prepared for class as a few kids started trickling in. Leia didn't pay attention to anything. She just stared at the walls and tried to picture them decorated or the dungeon not looking so dreary. If her uncle let her, she could have this place looking more cheery in a few days. Before she knew it the second years were walking out the door. She looked around dazed and found her uncle shutting the door after the last student. "What were you thinking all period?" Severus asked coming to sit at his desk.
"Oh I was looking at the walls and mentally decorating them. I had many ideas." She said quietly, not wanting him to get angry at her suggestion that his dungeon was anything less than perfect. After all, her father would have hit her for such a thing.
"Such as?" Severus asked kindly. Leia smiled. Severus really was different. She pointed to a wall "Well I was thinking that the sconces should be more…pretty?" she suggested. Instantly the sconce turned from a dull boring brown to a silver sleek look. Leia glanced at her finger in shock. What had just happened?
"I knew there was magic in you!" Severus exclaimed jumping up. Leia looked around and noticed that all of the sconces had been changed. What would having this power mean for her future?
A/N: Short, but it's an update non? And plus, we find out Leia has magic in her after all. Why has it been hidden? And did the potion Severus Snape put in it have an affect on her? Hmmm…
