Chapter 2

After 2 weeks of school, Honey proved to be a rocking Quidditch champion and killer country singer. She was especially skilled in the art of Transfiguration with the raven-haired Professor McGonagall. With a quick wave of her cypress wand, Honey transfigured her dictionary into a thesaurus.
"My goodness, how do you do that so well?" Lily asked from the desk beside her. Remus also looked on in admiration on her other side.
"I've been told it was...in my blood," Honey blushed. "But I really wouldn't know, I was adopted."
"Really?"
"My adoptive parents were pureblood, but I have yet to find out what I am. Not that I'm into that kind of stuff. 'not as if it makes some sort of difference."
"Yeah." Lily shook her head. "My parents are muggles and it seems like a lot of people find that repulsive. I find that attitude repulsive."
"My mum's a muggle and my dad's pureblood. Slytherin's find that just as bad," Remus sighed.
"So you have the worst of both worlds?" Honey raised an eyebrow, in a look that clearly said she knew Remus' deepest darkest secret.
"You...know?" Lily and Remus asked concurrently.
"Well, I kind of figured it out from the fact that Jimmy called you Moony, and how you were sick last week..." But truth be told, Honey simply had always had a knack for seeing through people.
"Wow, Lily managed to figure it out. It took her much longer though. But she's the only other person besides the three guys... and Severus Snape." He began to attempt the spell. "Oh, and I have a feeling this one girl knows as well, I can't seem to place her name— she's Cassandra Trelawney's great-grandaughter." Remus opened his book to page 394, "and a Seer."
"Don't you think she's a fake?" Lily asked, finally managing her spell.
"I really thought she was," Remus looked up, "But this morning in Charms class, she startled me by knowing my favorite color, my class schedule, and a various other things." With a swish and flick he properly transfigured the book as well. "It'd be horrible if she does know. She doesn't appear to like me very much." He went back to his book.
"Mmmkay...so much for this being kept secret." Lily rolled her lime eyes.

That weekend Severus was brooding about how he'd gotten an A minus on his Potions quiz, when he decided to go behind the greenhouses to see if Sirius was back there with any girls. He'd already gotten him detention twice that year. However, today no one was back there. There was, however, a large suspicious looking plant that appeared to be looking at him funny. Devil's snare, it looked like, but out in the sunlight it was impossible. This left only one other possibility: angel's snare, a hybrid plant in the same family as Devil's snare, only it could stand sunlight and had a strange hatred for teenagers. The plant suddenly shot out a bunch of vines which wrapped themselves around Severus, imprisoning him
It did look to be the end for the boy, but the vines were so preoccupied with Severus that they did not notice the heroic figure that slipped in.
"Leave him alone!" said Honey as she through a rock at the plant. They then went after her as well but she did a leap and caught her hands on a tree branch high above, landing her feet on a vine. Quickly she did a kick and her stilleto heels busted the thick vine through. Taking a dagger from her garter, she began slicing away the vines that came toward her, hanging on the tree by one hand. She swung herself up on the tree branch and pointed her wand at the enemy. Her eyes suddenly began to glow and turn a strange blue color. Her necklace as well, only it did not turn blue.
"Dyeplantio!" she whispered, and the vines shriveled and ceased to move. But Severus was still buried beneath the debris! As he lay there, he suddenly he felt a tug at the back of his shirt. A golden retriever was pulling him out of danger, but Honey was no where in sight! The dog dragged him around the greenhouses and to underneath a tree by the Hogwart's lake.
"You're an animagus!" he whispered, as the golden retriever turned back into a girl before anyone else could see.
"You won't tell anyone?" she asked.
"Oh, of course not. I— " he looked like he was about to say something about himself, "Thanks...Honey."
So Honey and Severus spent the rest of the day under the tree learning more about eachother and stuff.
"Well, I was adopted." Honey started, "I had 2 loving Texan parents, but I was born over here. So when my parents were murdered I went on a search to find my real parents. I found out my mother had been a half-veela by the name of Debbie Dumbledore, so I came to Hogwarts to be with my granddaddy. We're still searching for my father, but I swore on my life that I would find him," her voice grew into a sob, she took a crackly breath, "and I will find him." She wiped at her eyes, and looked into his. "But of all things in the world, I hate the dark arts! The dark arts killed my adoptive parents! I could never fall in love with a guy who liked the dark arts," she gazed at the lake side and leaned on his shoulder.
"Yeah, uh, I hate 'em too." He said bewilderedly and turned to face her.
They leaned in closer, their lips were almost touching when—
A huge scary black dog bounded out from behind the bushes and pounced on Severus, growling threateningly. Snape whipped out his wand.
"Severus, don't hurt him; he's just friendly," Honey giggled, letting the sun catch on the rays of her hair and her laughter ring out across the lake like music. "Come here boy!"
The dog froze for a moment and bounded over to her.
James suddenly came running through the bushes. "I'll save you—oh!" He spotted Honey petting the doggy. He quickly put away his wand and smiled. "Looks like...er— Snuffles likes you."
"This is your dog?" Honey asked.
"Yep, seriously."
Peter's face suddenly materialized over James shoulder and began laughing incredibly psychotically. "Seriously! Haha!"
"When did you get here?" Severus asked.
"I've been here the whole time," Peter said truthfully.
"Awww...look at the doggy!" Rosmerta and some other random hot Ravenclaw chicks came over. "Is he yours, James?"
Peter's surveyed the girls twitchily. His buckteeth stuck out of his smile."Yeah, James rescued him from imminent death in the muggle pound." He put his hand on James' shoulder.
"Wow, really? Awwwww, how sweet!" squealed a random hot chick.
"I had no idea you were so sensitive!" said another.
Peter scoffed. "Sensitive... James Potter is italian for sensitive! Why just the other day..."
Meanwhile, Severus slinked away unhappily, hanging his head because of the imposing people, and because he no idea what the heck was going on. Honey however, knew exactly what was going on.
"You know," she said to the hot chicks, "the school store just got in a new shipment of googly-eyed quills. They're on sale 2 for a sickle."
Note: A googly eyed quill is a very fluffy feather quill that has been died various Lisa-frankesque colors and has a pair of plastic googly- eyes stuck at the top. They're the inspiration for the fluffy, googly eyed pens that some muggle girls like buy. Also, Hogwarts, of course, has a school store because students don't know which color ties and scarves to buy until after they're sorted. As soon as the girlshad rushed off, Honey zapped the dog with a blast of a spell.
"What..." asked James.
"...the..." said Peter.
"...heck?" asked Sirius.
"You figured him out?" Remus pulled the invisibility cloak off his head.
"Well, I should say so. I have half a mind to just go right up to grandp—the headmaster, and tell him all about y'all!" Honey put her hands on her hips. "But I ain't gonna do it cause it'd hypocrisy. But of all things you can use your powers for, this is the most demeanin' thing I ever did see!" She huffed out of sight.
"The mo-ost demeanin' thang ah evah di-id see. Who does she think she is?" Peter scoffed. "Besides the most beautiful woman I've ever seen."
"What is so demeaning about picking up chicks?" asked James.
"I dunno, but we'd better keep an eye on her anyway."
And thus the 5 of them became friends.
