Chapter 16: Potions! Urgh!
"Mmph!" Usagi grunted as she sat up, sleepily asking where she was.
"You are in the hospital wing" Dumbledore said soothingly. Usagi looked around. All of her teachers, Harry, Ron, and Hermione, were standing around the hospital bed she was sitting in. She noticed, to her surprise, that even Snape was there.
"How do you feel?" Harry asked.
"I'm fine." Usagi reassured them. "I just exhausted my reserves. How is Lioness?"
"A nervous wreck" McGonagall sighed. "She was just a muggle. She had been expecting Lord Endymion to appear any time."
"An official from the Ministry of Magic arrived this afternoon to perform a memory charm on the poor girl. She has been extradited to America to begin a new life. She will not remember anything." Madam Pomfry said as she checked Usagi for injuries for the tenth time.
Usagi smiled weakly, looking down at her hands. "I wish I knew what was happening. What are you up to, Mamoru?"
Dumbledore placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. "There is no reason to worry about your fiancé at the moment-"
"-Ex.fiancé." Usagi said viciously. She sighed. "I'm sorry. You didn't deserve that, Gigi."
"Do not worry." Dumbledore smiled. He decided to change the subject. "You will be staying in here for tonight."
Usagi gave him a puzzled look. "Why? This type of thing has happened before. I just can't use magic for a day or two. Otherwise, I'm perfectly okay."
"Our nurse takes her job very seriously." Dumbledore replied kindly. "And when you get out tomorrow morning, you will be spending the day with Professor Snape."
"What!? Why?!"
"Your potions marks are abominable." Dumbledore replied calmly, fully acting out the Grandfather roll.
"Hey, Usagi." Ron said, calling her attention. "What did you say to Malfoy? He's been jumpy ever since flying class. The weirdest thing is that he has been making an effort to be nice to the other houses."
"I said something like; he would not even have a chance to wish he had never been born, if the trouble he caused for Harry got him expelled." Usagi shrugged. "It was an empty threat, but I guess that what happened to Lioness made him think." Usagi looked over at her little brother. "Why are you still here? I thought you would have been on the first train to Kings Cross by now."
"I got on the Quiddich team instead." Harry answered proudly.
"He's the youngest Seeker in a century!" Ron added.
"That's fantastic.But what's Quiddich?" Ron smiled as he looked over at Harry.
"Come and watch me when I practice." Harry said.
"It's a wicked game. Just wait!" Ron couldn't help adding.
Usagi nodded. "Okay. But I warn you, Harry James Potter. Break another rule unnecessarily, and I will dog you until I am ready to stop."
"Please! Don't do that! I remember when you did that on the Moon!" Harry pleaded, half-jokingly.
The teachers laughed.
"She is harder on him than you are to the others." Madam Hooch said to Snape, slapping his arm.
"Are you sure she has to be in Professor Snape's classes tomorrow?" Harry asked, getting carried away in the moment. "She might get some new ideas!"
"She doesn't need my help. She has one and a half thousand years on me. Perhaps she could help me." Snape said suggestively, staring intently at the young warrior.
"Don't tease the poor children." McGonagall chided him.
"Come all, it is time for the children to get some sleep." Dumbledore commented as he ushered the others out of the infirmary before they had time to notice Snape's tone. 'I will have to have a talk to him...' "Err. Professor Snape, would you see me in my office?"
Snape gave him a quizzical look before the indifferent mask slid back over his face and he stole out of the room with a "Yes, Headmaster."
Dumbledore nodded absently, as he turned back to Usagi. "Now, my dear. Get some rest. I know that tomorrow is not going to be a good day. You are going to need your rest to cope with Professor Snape."
Usagi smiled appreciatively. "Thank you, Gigi." She slipped down in between the sheets, and fell asleep again, almost simultaneously. *** Severus Snape paused as the elder wizard entered the round office of the Headmaster. He placed the book back on its shelf, and came to stand before the large oak desk as Albus Dumbledore took his seat behind it. Severus waited for the Headmaster to speak.
Albus looked up at Severus. "You have an interest in my Granddaughter?"
Severus was taken aback. "Err." He regained his composure and stared at Dumbledore, "I do not know what you are talking about."
Dumbledore sighed. "She is not for you."
"I have no interest in your Granddaughter, Headmaster." Severus replied coldly, lying overtly.
Dumbledore rose from his seat, his anger clearly visible. "I have no desire to fight with you. Know only that if you attempt anything in that direction, you will have to answer to me."
***
An unusually loud alarm clock echoed throughout the room. Usagi bolted upright. "Mercury Rhapsody. Now!"
"Whatever that may be, it is hardly likely to be of use." A cool, unsettlingly calm voice replied.
Usagi gazed around the room, and noticed Snape waiting patiently by her bedside. Usagi was about to tell him off for being there, when she remembered what had happened the day before, and what was going to happen that day. The empty feeling she got whenever she had exhausted her reserves hit her, along with the subsequent depression. She sniffled as she looked up.
"Good morning. You have been pushed onto me, and I will teach. You will sit at the back taking notes. You will not interrupt my classes, and you will do what you are told, [i]when[/i] you are told. Do I make myself clear?" Usagi nodded as she felt the tears well up. "And stop your sniveling."
*It's these damned side effects. I wouldn't [i]have[/i] to deal with [i]Snape[/i] all day if It were not for [i]Endymion[/i]* She though to herself. *Even Grandfather has turned against me. He knows I cannot stand [i]Snape[/i]* "Today is going to be a bad day."
"Probably. Hurry up." Snape commanded. "Go have breakfast, and meet me in my classroom. The first class is second year Griffindor/ Slythrin; then second year Hufflepuff/ Ravenclaw; after lunch, first year Hufflepuff,/Ravenclaw; then, as you know, I have first year Griffindor/Slytherin."
Snape left the room, his cape flying up behind him. Usagi dressed, and then left for the great hall.
==============================GREAT HALL=================================
Harry watched Usagi enter the hall and drag her feet up to the seat next to him, her eyes never leaving the ground. She collapsed down between Harry and Hermione, emitting an unhappy sigh. Harry stared at her in shock.
"What Happened?"
Usagi shrugged. "Nothing. I'm just a little depressed today." She mumbled, reaching for some breakfast.
"Why?" Ron asked around a sausage.
"I exhausted my magical reserves, I have to spend the day with [i]Snape[/i]. Take your pick." They ate in silence until Usagi stood up. "I don't want to give Satan a reason to be angry at me. I'll see you when you come to hell in third last." They watched Usagi walk away, looking as if she had lost all her friends and family in one blow.
"I hope she's going to be okay." Hermione said as she stood up.
=====================Professor Snape's Classroom/ Dungeon========================
"You're early." Snape said as Usagi sauntered in and sat down at the back of the room, placing quill, ink and notebook on the table.
"Sorry Sir."
"Remember, be quiet. I will inspect your notes at lunch, and at the end of eighth period."
"Yes Sir." Usagi admonished as Snape strode out of the room. "Yes Sir, no Sir, three bags full Sir. Baka."
"Well, well, well! What have we got here?" Seth Deeth, a second year Slytherin boy said as he slinked up to Usagi a few minutes later, the rest of second year Slytherin behind him.
"Oh, well," Usagi said sarcastically. "I just couldn't stand being away from you and this classroom. You are just too good." Seth stared at Usagi in confused disbelief. "Get lost baka."
She looked down at her book, trying to remember her potions lessons from her life on the Moon. Of course, she shouldn't having the soldier of Love and Beauty as your teacher, really limits what you learn.
"Are they annoying you?" A Griffindor boy, Tyler Yasashi, asked.
Usagi shook her head. "No, it's okay Ty. They were just taking their seats, weren't you?" She flashed the group of Slytherins a dangerous glance. Seth drew back away from the Griffindors, Usagi in particular.
"Err.Yeah. Bye.' He replied cautiously. Seth led the Slytherins away and the Griffindors followed suit. All bar Ty, who sat down next to Usagi.
"What's up Bunny?" he asked gently.
"Nothing Ty, I just hate the thought of being stuck here all day." Usagi shrugged. Tyler was a good person; even if he did tend to pry a little too often. Usagi knew it was because he cared about his friends.
"I heard you ended up spending the night in the Hospital wing. What happened? Fall off your broom?" Usagi smirked at his joke, bad as it was. News seemed to have that annoying habit of spreading like wildfire through places such as Hogwarts.
"Yes and no. I spent the night in the infirmary because of a stupid mistake. I was pissed off when I was fighting Lioness. I threw all I had at her and then some. I ended up falling unconscious and waking up after dinner. I can't do magic for a little while, so Dumbledore decided to exercise his parental/principal rights to make me sty in hell's dungeons all today."
"Ouch."
"Mnnn"
"Take your seats. Miss Tsukino is here to study, not for you to talk to." Snape said angrily as he flew down to the teacher's desk at the front of the room, placing a folder on the desk before facing the class. Usagi let out a groan. "Now. Shall we begin?"
