Chapter Three: Paint The Sky With Stars

Days turned to weeks, weeks turned to months and still Genevieve wasn't used to all the glamour the teachers gave her. She started her classes a few days after the Malfoy incident, which she quickly forgot. Her classes consisted of: Transfiguration, Charms, Defence Against The Dark Arts, Potions, Care of Magical Creatures, History,
Herbology and a few samples of Divinations, and Arithmancy.


She seemed to be enjoying Care of Magical Creatures very much since she never got to see many animals when she was imprisoned, with the exception of the attacking dogs. She also, for a strange reason, enjoyed Potions. She liked mixing things together and seeing what happened. Severus was very careful around her and had to contain a lot of his anger and bring forth abundance of patience.


Since wherever Genevieve went Snuffles, Severus was somewhat annoyed that that "filthy mongrel" was in his class. But the small smile or her relaxing form Genevieve made when she made a simple potion right or pleased her teacher made Severus forget about her faithful companion. Sirius also barked and licked her hand or leg when she made everything right. And he also helped her when she made a mistake.

"No, you were supposed to add the lacewings after the monkshood. And you added too much Armadillo bile." Replied, a very aggravated Severus.


Genevieve looked down at her hands and a silent tear glided of her pale cheek. Severus felt horrible,

"I apologize for being so harsh on you, its probably not all your fault. Your hand was shaking when you added the bile and maybe I am pressuring you too much. Do you care for a Relaxing Potion?"

Genevieve nodded and Severus went into his private storage area to retrieve the potion. She glanced at Snuffles, who was lying next to her stool, and patted his head. Soon, Severus emerged with a vile the blue liquid that intrigued her.

She thanked him and took a swig. She grimaced at the horrible flavour and felt a warm, calming feeling throughout her entire body. She looked up at Severus and gave him a small, but well-earned smile.

All the teachers were careful around her since she was still a sensitive girl. For example, a few weeks after her first day of training she spilled her goblet and started cleaning, apologizing and crying telling them she would never do it again and that she would be good. It broke the teachers' hearts seeing her like that but Sirius calmed her down in his human form.

Soon she was caught up with her year and a little ahead of everyone else. She contained her excitement and only showed everyone small smiles and polite gestures. Genevieve also noted how time just flew by September 1st was only six days away. She had overheard the teachers talking on how they were going to present her presence to the children.

Minerva McGonagall suggested that,

"We could send owls explaining to the children and their parents the situation."

Flitwick then proposed a different idea;

"We could explain everything after she's sorted."

The next suggestion surprised everyone. Severus Snape replied,

"We could let her explain it to everyone when she felt it were ready."

They all decided that was the best decision of them all.

Remus asked,

"May I go tell Genevieve the news?"

Dumbledore nodded and Remus headed for Genevieve's room. She quickly bolted from her hiding spot and ran as quickly as her deformed legs could. Soon she arrived to her room, jumped on her bed and closed her eyes.

Remus entered the room and chuckled.

"Stop pretending. I noticed you were eavesdropping."

She opened her eyes and gave him a frightened look.

"It's all right you are not going to be punished. I promise you."

She still looked afraid, but when Remus hugged her and kissed her head, she leaned into him and sighed.

She seems to get tired easily, Remus thought. She had a dark circle under her normal eye and she paler than usual. She smiled weakly at him and turned around and wrapped her arms around his neck. Remus lifted her and sat her on his lap while he sat on a wicker chair and Genevieve asked,

"Are you going to leave me forever, master?"

"I'm never going to leave you. None of us are. I promise you that. And I am not your master."

She nodded and fell asleep on Remus's lap. A day before September 1st Severus came into the Great Hall with a vile in his hand. Genevieve noticed he seemed a little…excited? She looked at him puzzled and looked at Dumbledore and Severus. Both men talked and nodded and soon Dumbledore stood up.

"I have something important to tell you all Severus, here, has just made a potion to make Genevieve's appearance normal."

This surprised everyone but it shocked Genevieve. She whispered,

"Would it make my scars go away?"

Remus heard her and nodded she smiled as best as she could since part of her skin did closed almost half of her mouth.

"If our dear Genevieve wants to that is. Care to give it a go?" Dumbledore walked to where she sat and handed her the vile. She stared at it for a few seconds the wheels in her head turning and twisting to finally she decided to take it.

A few exciting minutes later Genevieve emerged from the bathroom with her new look. Her face now held a beautiful heavenly glow her skin was clean and without on scar. She looked at her right arm and her body and noticed that all her scars and deformities were gone. She laughed slightly and noticed she could smile as normal as Remus was grinning. She then hugged Severus tightly and kept saying, thank you over and over again. He patted her back awkwardly and she then blushed since she noticed she never hugs anyone like that.

Dumbledore said,

"It's a pleasure having such a beauty study at Hogwarts and to beware of boys trying to steal her away from Remus."

Both Remus and Genevieve blushed and went to their rooms. She couldn't stop blushing and grinning. Once she saw Snuffles, she ran to him wrapped her small, skinny arms around him and buried her small face in his soft fur.

"Look Snuffles I'm me again. No more scars. I'll be normal just like everyone else."

She still looked malnourished and her aura still held it's melancholy status, but to Remus, she was an angel. A fragile angel who could disappear quickly in a shadowy, dark place in this cruel, harsh world Remus felt proud since he never married and never experience fatherhood Remus thought he would try his father skills on Genevieve. If he ever
married that is. Genevieve accepted him being a werewolf easily but others were harder to convince that he wasn't dangerous.

Finally, September the first came and the sky outside was a beautiful midnight black, but no stars were out in the Great Hall ceiling. Genevieve tried out a charm the Professor Flitwick gave her; she said the spell and an imaginary paintbrush and the sky was painted with beautiful, twinkling stars. She smiled and sighed; this is going to be a long year. Then as if one cues the door opened and the students rushed in.

Another Author's Note: I'm so sorry for the short chapter I guess I don't have as much time to work on my story as I thought. But I assure you the next chapter will have more action and if you all want less fluff, but I do love that fluff. Next chapter, My Eyes Divide The Sky, Genevieve gets sorted, starts her classes with the Hogwarts students, and learns a valuable lesson.
