Chapter 5
You Really Shouldn't Have

* * * *

Raie woke with a start, and looked around. She was in the dungeons, seated across from Professor Snape.

'So, this is how it is?' Raie thought to herself, realizing that the whole 'almost making out session' never really had occurred, she imagined every inch, smell, feeling and ecstasy. She hadn't gotten to the lipstick and Neville encounter, either.

"Feeling better?" Snape said, taking a drink of something in a goblet which he must have just recently conjured.

"I was feeling sick?" Raie asked, confused, rubbing her eyes.

"I don't know, you sort of, fainted, passed out, something of the sort." Snape said, setting down the goblet.

"No I didn't." Raie retorted defensively.

"You did too. You conjured that quill, and you turned pale and fainted." He said, directing his head to the quill, which looked as if it had blood stained all on it, the tip and the feather.

"Seriously?" Raie said, clutching her chest in anxiety.

Snape nodded, pushing the hair back from his brow.

"Wait, are you sure? Because I remember Neville coming down for his detention, and then we got into this whole conversation about him and Ginny in the . astronomy tower, and then I asked you to walk me to my dorms and then we-" She stopped, and popped her hand over her mouth and blushed.

"Really? You've only been out for about 15 minutes," He said consciously, looking sincerely at Raie.

"Yes, what's the time?" Raie said, but regretted it, because, the last time she asked for the time, it ended up not be true and a illusion.

"Around 9:30 I believe," He said, searching the room for a clock.

"Ah, I suppose I should head back, I have advanced classes tomorrow, and I have to be up earlier then anyone else," She said, hoping something would come from this sore departure.

He acknowledged, and looked about the room.

"Detention with Neville?" He said randomly, speaking out to know one.

Raie nodded as she reached for the door knob.

"I don't even have a detention with Neville, that's a surprise ."He said, looking seriously at Raie.

Raie smiled and shrugged, and headed out the door, with out a glance back.

Raie sat quietly in bed at 7:30 the next morning, knowing that she needed to head down to breakfast and then off to Defense Against the Dark Arts with the 6th years.

She dressed quietly, adding a touch of makeup to her eyes, and a bit of spritz to her hair, and headed down stairs peacefully, as not to disturb the other sleeping patrons.

Once in the Great Hall, she searched for a familiar face, but none stood out to her. She walked by herself to the Gryffindor Table and sat down. A tin plate of eggs, toast, sausage and hash browns appeared, but Raie felt as if she didn't feel hungry. She shrugged and rested her elbow on the table, her head in her hand.

"Miss. Black, Miss. Black!" A shouting voice rang from around her.

She turned her to head to see a young teacher, perhaps around 21 or 22, with auburn brown hair and a pale complexion such as her own. He stood slightly taller then her, with a broad grin upon his face and his dark brown eyes bore upon her.

"I'm Professor Knowdlin, your Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, I hope your well prepared for class," He said, gesturing her up and along with him.

Raie recognized him as the colleague Professor Snape had been walking with the time he gave her detention. She smiled reluctantly and followed him.

"I'm not sure what to expect sir, our schooling was quite different at Durmstrang then it is here," she said, though not trying to sound snoody.

"That wouldn't be my fault," he recoiled, looking at her.

"No, I didn't mean it like that, I meant it like, oh bother," She said, turning the corner to relieve herself of the professor, who turned to follow after her.

"I don't know much about Hogwarts either, I'm just as new as you are," He said, reaching Raie's pace and walking with her.

She nodded and kept listening.

"I'm from Teake Academy of Performing Wizards, and it's just as different from Hogwarts as warm and cold." He said, talking slowly with his hands.

"I see, so, what do we do in defense against the dark arts here?" she said, hoping for a good answer since he was the teacher.

"I suppose you'll find out during class, aye?" He said, pushing open a classroom door, opening the eyes of Raie to the newly remolded room.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Raie trudged slowly from an exceedingly boring class. Professor Knowdlin may have the look of a handsome man, but he sure had the brains of a rock. Though looks can get your far, knowledge gets you much, much farther.

She had Potions next, and she was most happy to be seeing Snape again. She met up with Vera, who had been walking hand in hand with Harry. Raie smiled weakly as Vera locked arms with her.

"Me and Harry had an amazing night last night," She giggled, blushing.

Raie nodded, looking over at Harry who smiled.

"What did you erm - do?" Raie said, knowing the answer more then Vera did herself.

"'Astronomy homework' if you know what I mean," She said, winking.

"I get it, I get it," Raie gruffled angrily as Vera went back to walk with Harry.

Once inside the classroom, Raie rushed to Draco's side as he gestured her over. She sighed, not exactly pleased of sitting next to him, but it was better then Ron and 'Mione's giggling and Harry and Vera's sickening puppy love eyes. Why was love bothering her so much? She thought over and over again, seeing couples everywhere we turned. 'God, is this a sign?' she'd often think before she fell asleep after praying.

Snape sat behind his desk, watching 5th years file in slowly.

"Good day class," He said, swishing back his robes and standing up.

"I hope you are all well prepared for today's class. You will be using an ingredient that most teacher's find me insane for even putting in the hands of students," He said, his eyes leering over students.

"You are insane," Raie heard Ron sneer into Harry's ear.

"Therefore, you will be put into groups per house. Slytherins with Slytherins, Gryffindors with Gryffindors and etcetera. Anyone who fumbles up this potion will be in dire trouble. You have been warned," he sneered, looking especially at Neville, After being paired with Neville herself, Raie had done her share of groaning, and was now working on the potion as Neville watched her.

"Don't touch anything," Raie said, surprisingly meaner then she had expected.

"I - I wasn't going - going to," He stuttered, but Raie covered her eyes as Neville bumped a red substance in a tall vile right off the table and into their cauldron.

"DAMN YOU NEVILLE!" Raie yelled, Snape turning quickly at the sound of a curse.

Raie grabbed Neville's arm and pulled him close to the wall, far away from the boiling potion that was about to erupt.

The cauldron had started to rattle, shaking back and forth. Neville put a protecting arm across Raie that had even shocked her. All of a sudden, there was a big eruption, and the cauldron itself disappeared, leaving the potion within to run all over the floor.

Students were hopping upon desks and chairs as the potion drained over the floor, clearing away anything it it's path. Neville's arm was across Raie's chest, pushing the pair backwards as the potion got closer to their feet.

Snape came charging down the side aisle, where it was clear of the substance, and grabbed Neville first pulling him past Raie and over to a chair where he could climb up safely. Though to his dismay, picking Neville first, meant leaving Raie in the path of the potion. It seeped into her shoes, soaking her socks. All of a sudden, she didn't feel herself, and everything went black.

All she heard was a thud, a chorus of screams and an hand grabbing her own. * * * * * * * * *

She opened her eyes slowly. She was in the dungeons classroom, but Professor Snape wasn't teaching. In fact, none of the students even looked like any that she went to school with now.

The professor stood up slowly. He was tall, and old, probably around 80. He stood hunched, with white hair that grew down to his back, the top of his head bald. He had hallow eyes that reflected a fluorescent colour and a piercing stare.

"Now class," He started, with a thick German accent, "We will be working individually today on homework. Take this as a, study hall." And with that, he returned to his desk and started to work.

All of a sudden voices erupted from the students around her. A group of 4 boys and a girl came over and joined her at the desk she was sitting at.

"Hey Victoria," said one, with long, black, ear length hair, and blue eyes. He pulled out a chair and sat down next to her, grasping her hand within his.

"What?" Raie stuttered nervously, looking into his eyes.

"What's wrong? What is it?" He said, staring lovingly at her.

"You just called me Victoria," Raie said, astounded.

"Well, that's your name!" said another boy, taking the seat on the other side of her.

Raie almost toppled off her seat. The boy was Harry Potter! He had long, black hair, glasses and. blue eyes?

"No it's not," Raie retorted, feeling herself loose her stomach in the match.

"Yeah it is, what game are you playing at?" said the boy holding Raie's hand.

"My name is Raie Black," she said nervously, as the boy let go of her hand.

"Victoria, no - not it's not," the boy said, searching Raie's eyes.

"Well, actually it is, but - you know, whatever," Raie said, crossing her arms and catching the eye of a boy on the other side of the room.

He was deathly handsome. Long, shaggy black hair and eyes that were beetle black. Raie could see them perfectly, and his pale skin matched her own.

"Ugh. Not again, look James," The boy said, hitting James' shoulder from behind Raie, "Severus is looking at Vic again,"

The reality hit Raie faster then a lethal smack. Her 'Harry' wasn't really Harry, it was James Potter, and the boy she was intrigued by was Severus Snape! Her very own potions master. Meaning, the boy holding her hand was Sirius. The thought of holding her father's hand made her shudder, but what this meant was she had been thrown back in time. Why she had, she had no idea, because the potion they had been brewing in Potions had nothing to do with time travel.

"Hey guys - um, I was just joking about the Raie Black thing," She lied nervously as the group started to laugh.

"Phewfta! You scared us there for a second Vic!" Said a plump boy with a kiddish face. Peter Pertrigrew most obviously.

Raie laughed nervously, and Severus looked over at her. Raie smiled sweetly, and he suddenly turned away. She shrugged and Sirius grabbed her hand again.

"How long do we have left in this class?" she asked, searching the faces of the group around her.

A tall boy, with brown hair and brown eyes sat to the left of James, most obviously Remus Lupin, and a girl with gorgeous green eyes, and brilliant burgundy hair was to his left. Lily. So she had been thrown back to her own mother's time. She had no idea why. And she knew that if she chased after Severus, that the future would be tampered with, and without a Time Turner, it was absolutely illegal. She cringed at the thought of Azkaban.

"About - actually, it's almost over," Lily said, smiling at Raie, who returned the grin.

"Yeah, we have actual study hall after this, so we might go up to the library or stay in the common room or something," Remus said, collecting his books infront of his spot.

"Unless you and Sirius are heading up to the Astronomy Tower," Peter said, looking from Sirius to Raie.

"I was hoping to," Sirius said, squeezing her hand. Raie made a disgusting face in her head. The thought of even locking lips with her own father was absolutely revolting. But she had to play along, whatever the circumstances.

"I'd love to," Raie said, looking seriously at Sirius.

"Great, then we'll go up there when the bell rings," he said, and as he spoke, the bell did so.

The group collected their books, and stood up, exiting the dungeons. They took their separate ways, Peter and Remus headed to the Common Room, whilest James and Lily headed else where. Sirius grabbed Raie's books and handed the to Peter. He grabbed her hand and pulled her slowly up next to him.

He leaned close into her, Raie wanting to recoil, but she couldn't.

"Victoria, don't you think it's about. time?" He said, kissing her hand.

Raie panicked. "Time for what?" But she knew that answer. Perfectly.

"I love when you play stupid," He said, smiling playfully.

Raie gave a shy grin.

"But you know what I'm talking about. We've been together since second year. We're seventeen now, you're almost eighteen. Don't you think we should do something? To show our appreciation?" he said, playing carefully with a strand of her hair.

"But in the astronomy tower? Isn't there anywhere else?" She asked nervously.

"You know there isn't, until Easter Break that is, when most everyone goes home," he said, actually looking disappointed.

"Can't we wait till then?" She pulled herself forcefully closer to him, "I want this to be perfect. everything,"

He put his forehead to her's and nodded.

"You're right. You're absolutely right my brilliant girl," he said, cupping her chin.
