A Tale of Two Minds.
Corrie.
Chapter 8.
Severus stormed to the front of the transfiguration teacher holding a large cauldron full of steaming red liquid.
"I want all of you to listen carefully." He commanded. "The potion in front of me will show you your animangus form if you have one." He bit icily.
"I will call out your name and you will come up to the front take the goblet from professor Snape and then step up onto the stage. When you drink the potion you should transform if you have a animangus form.If not a dull red glow should cover your body." Bill Weasly said kindly stepping forward smiling at the students gathered before him.
Severus sneered at the closest students. Mentally smirking as some of them shrunk away.
"Right we will start with the Griffindor's.Lavender Brown." Charlie Weasly said.
Lavender stepped forward took a goblet from professor Snape and walked towards the stage shaking.
She sipped the red liquid and after several seconds a dull red light formed around her body. Severus smirked.
"Harry Potter." Charlie said grinning at the famous young man before him.
Harry took a goblet from the potions master calmly and jumped up onto the stage. He downed the liquid in one gulp and suddenly in his place stood a magnificent animal.
It had the body of a black wolf or dog, with fury paws and deep emerald eyes..
Everyone in the hall gaped at the animal in front of them except for two people. Severus Snape looked unchanged by this revelation and Hermione Granger looked happily at her friend.
"Ronald Weasly." Snape called breaking the silence of the room.
Ron still shocked took his goblet and walked on to the stage.
In his place was a exquisite tan coloured wolf. There were flashes of red in it's coat and had piercing blue eyes.
It continued in this manner for several more minutes until the head girl was called up.
"Hermione Granger." Professor McGonagall called.
Hermione walked calmly to the potions professor and took her goblet. She strode casually onto the stage and drunk the potion.
Her body felt as though it was on fire. She closed her eyes tightly for what was about to come.
There was a loud bang and everyone shrunk back from the cloud of dust that had formed on the stage.
"Mione!" Harry and Ron shouted as one. The dust cleared and the boys ran towards the stage.
In Hermione's place there was a striking sight. A stunning form stood in front of them.
A woman with soulless ebony black eyes and long fine silver hair streaked with blue that fell loosely down her sides straight and tame. Her skin was fair, she was truly divine yet had an empty, lost and fragile look about her.
Suddenly Hermione fainted dead away. As she fell an odd sight met the eyes of onlookers. Severus Snape jumped and caught her gracefully. He tenderly picked her up and placed her fragile body in the hands of Harry Potter. Before running out of the room at break neck speed. He skidded into the entrance hall just as the headmaster was coming down the stairs.
"Albus!" He shouted.
The old headmaster took one look at his face and burst into the great hall. The students parted for him and he hurried up to the front of the hall where Minivera McGonagall and the eldest Weasly boys were trying to resuscitate the still form on the ground.
Albus looked closer at the young woman, her hair was silver and blue and her skin pale.
"Minivera who is it?" He asked his tone urgent.
"Sir it's Mione.What is wrong?" Harry Potter stepped forward franticly wringing his hands a pained expression flashed across his face.
"Severus you know more about this than any one.Take her to my office I will speak with you there." The headmaster looked older than ever before he turned and whispered something to Harry and Ron.
