Harry Potter and the Servant of Lord Voldemort
-Chapter 6-
What Snape Knows

As they go on into their next class, Potion, Harry was starting to think on what to do with Malfoy. He's really getting on his nerves, sometimes he really wants to punch him! Or make a him a cockroach so he can squish him!! If he can find a spell for that. But he doesn't want to think about that now that he's in Potion with Professor Snape. Does he really have to have this class today? Why not tomorrow?

Of course, Harry and Ron paired up as Potion Partners, Hermione and Neville Longbottom, strangely, Snape wanted Michelle and Malfoy to be paired up. For some reason, Harry was getting a little pissed, actually angry. He was just watching Michelle and Malfoy through the whole class. Maybe he's making sure Malfoy doesn't lay a hand on her like he did before. If he does, he'll KILL MALFOY!!!

Harry wasn't really paying attention. What they really had to do is find a cure to make the person better if they're paralyzed. Ron was kind doing some work, he tries to snap Harry out but he just keeps staring at Malfoy and Michelle. Ron tries to snap his fingers in front of his eyes but that didn't work. He wanted to snap Harry out of trance before Snape comes and notices it.

So he elbowed him in the stomach.

"Oww!" Whispered Harry. "What was that for, Ron?"

"You weren't paying attention! Do you want to get in trouble by him?" Said Ron.

"No, not really. Thanks!"

"What were you doing anyway?"

"Spying on Malfoy and Michelle."

"Oh, I see. You're getting a little jealous!"

"No, I'm not!"

"Yeah, right!"

"Stop that!!"

"Okay! Fine, Snape is about to do some testing. You should've been paying attention besides spying on the love and the hate!"

Snape got up from his desk and started to walk around. He past Hermione and Neville's table and then past Harry and Ron's table. But then he stopped at Malfoy and Michelle's table.

"Mr. Malfoy, would you like to be tested?" Asked Snape.

"Certainly, Professor Snape!" Said Malfoy.

"Ms. Bitting, you know how to paralyze him, right?"

"Yes, sir." Said Michelle. ( There is a few more extra spells and stuff like that!) Michelle reached for her wand in her robe but stopped a second. Harry didn't know why. But that's when Ron elbowed him on the arm this time.

Harry looked at Ron and he was pointing at something. Harry looked and saw something red on the floor. It was near Michelle, it was blood. Was blood dripping from Michelle? Is that why she stopped? Is she alright? Does anyone notice that? But that's when Michelle got her wand out and faces it at Malfoy. She had a serious look on her face.

"Paralysis!" A stream of yellow light came out of her wand and it hit Malfoy in the chest. He fell backwards to the ground, at Snape's feet. Malfoy wasn't moving. He was laying against Snape's legs. Michelle grabbed a potion on the table and poured it down Malfoy's mouth. She put the empty bottle on the table and waited for a few minutes.

But when Harry heard her voice, it was the same as when Michelle was being mean at the other night. What's going on?

A few minutes later, Malfoy got up, his legs shaking a little. He was standing up right, he smiled at Michelle and put his arm around her shoulder again.

"We make a great team, huh?" Said Malfoy.

Michelle moved his arm off her again and walked away from him. "I wouldn't put your arm around me," said Michelle.

"Why?" But that's when Malfoy got his answer.

He put his hand to over his mouth; it was like he was going to barf or something. But then, Malfoy used the hand over his mouth to put around his stomach, then something came out of his mouth. Some kind of yellow/green stuff came out of his mouth. He kept trying to breathe but every time he did, he kept throwing out some of that yellow/green stuff.

"Oops! Looks like there was a side-effect in that potion," said Michelle. She started to put a smirk on his face.

"Ms. Bitting, did you follow of what I said!?" Asked Snape.

"Yes, but something could have happened!"

"Maybe after dinner you should come back here and test it on me!"

"That's fine with me!"

"Crabbe! Goyle! Take Mr. Malfoy to the hospital! Class is dismissed!"

Harry saw Michelle grabbed her things and started to run out of the room. Harry, Ron and Hermione left the room too but they followed Michelle instead. She was walking on a fast pace.

"Michelle, wait!" Called Hermione.

Michelle turned around with that same look on her face. "What do you guys want!?" Asked Michelle.

"Did you mean for it to be a side-effect?" Asked Ron.

"Yes, I meant for it to happen!"

"Good job!" Ron took out his hand in the air; Michelle slapped it for it to be a high five!

"Ron! Michelle could've gotten detention from Snape!" Said Hermione.

"Yeah, but she didn't!" Said Ron.

"Michelle? What was with that blood that was dripping on the floor?" Asked Harry.

Ron and Hermione stopped bickering when they heard Harry asked that question. They looked back and forth from Michelle to Harry.

"Do you really want to know?" Asked Michelle.

"Yeah, kind of," answered Harry.

There was silence again. Why was there silence?

"Nah, I'll tell you later!" She started to head back, probably to Snape's class again. But then she stopped, she turned around and had that innocent look on her face again. "Sorry, about that Harry, I'll see you later!" She waved goodbye to them and started to walk away.

"That was weird!" Said Hermione.

"Yes, it was," said Ron.

"Too weird, and suspicious don't you think?" Asked Harry.

"Yeah, kind of!" Said Ron.

"Let's get going, we have homework to do!" Said Hermione.

They started to walk in the halls, being silent to one another. But that's when Harry remembered he forgot something in Snape's class, but he doesn't want to go back there. But he has no other choice.

"Sorry, guys I forgot something in Snape's class. I'll meet you guys later!" Said Harry, and he ran down the halls to get to Snape's class. He can't remember what he forgot, but he might remember once he gets there, right?

When he was a few steps away from the classroom, he heard voice in there. He heard Snape's voice and another voice. Who's this other person? When he took a step or two closer to the class, he peeked in to see. His eyes widen when he saw who Snape was talking to. He was talking to Michelle. Michelle's hands were on his desk.

Snape was only listening to what she said.

"So what are you saying?" Asked Snape.

"I only just want to apologize for what happened with Malfoy. I didn't mean for that to happen," said Michelle.

"That's not all, is it?"

"No, in fact, Dumbledore wanted me to tell you something."

"Why can't he tell me?"

"Because it involves me, and plus it involves You-Know-Who."

"Go on and tell me!"

After Snape said that, Michelle was whispering. Harry couldn't hear a word she was saying, or what Snape was replying. If only he could hear better, he might understand Michelle a bit better then before. They did kind of got off the wrong foot, but they're trying to be friends.

Harry leans against the wall, waiting for them to speak normally so he can understand what they're saying. He was thinking on sneaking in but then that'll make them stop talking and Snape would ask him to leave. This is as close he'll get. But then he heard something.

"Is that why I saw blood on the floor?" Asked Snape.

"You saw it too?" Questioned Michelle.

"What do you mean?"

"Harry asked me why blood was dripping on the floor too. I think Ron saw it too. But Ron, Harry, and Hermione know blood escapes my body. They see cuts on my arms and hands, maybe sometimes my legs."

"So whenever you're bleeding, she comes?"

"Yes, but the thing is, she doesn't obey anyone. She does things her own way and she definitely doesn't want to obey him. But he'll make her obey him."

"Let me ask you this, why are you telling me this?"

"Because, don't you have the dark mark of him? I thought you were a servant of Lord Voldemort."

"Yeah, I was. When he returned, I felt his power returning. It wasn't a good sign."

"Do you know anything about him? How to resist him? He will come and visit me on Hogwarts night and tell me to make Harry trust me."

"Do you want him to trust him?"

"Yes, but not in that way. I want him to trust as who I am, as a friend. I want to be his friend, and I want to protect him. But that means for me to stay away from Harry. I don't want to do that but if it's to protect Harry then I have to do it."

"I understand, but have you told Harry about this?"

"I'm sure he already knows."

What did she meant by that? Has he already known this? Wait! It could be the dream, she must be talking about the dream! Does this mean she knows exactly what happened in that dream too?

"What do you mean by that?" Asked Snape.

"I would rather not say. This is something between me, Harry and Professor Dumbledore. Sorry, sir."

"It's alright. But you have to tell Potter what's going on before anything else happens. You can't keep it from him that long. Pretty soon, it might reveal itself instead of you revealing it to him.

"I will tell him. But Dumbledore said not yet."

"I do think Dumbledore would like for you to tell him."

There was silence.

"N-no....not yet."

"All right, you may leave now. And, please don't come back here after dinner. I'm sure she might appear again."

"Thank you and I'm sorry about Malfoy, sir."

"Just make sure it doesn't happen again!"

Harry took a step away so no one will see him when they start to come out the door. When he heard Michelle's footsteps coming to the door, he turned to face her. Michelle was about to gasp but Harry put his hand over her mouth and used his free hand to grab Michelle's arm and drag her away from Snape's class. He doesn't want Snape to hear anything. But the thing is, Michelle wasn't strangling. It's like she wanted this to happen to her or something.

When Harry pulled Michelle far away from Snape's room as possible, his hand that was grabbing her arm has fallen to his side, but the hand that was over her mouth stayed put. He wanted to ask her again some questions, without her interrupting. He didn't really want to do this but he needs to know right?

"I only heard some of the parts you and Snape was talking about! I couldn't hear anything after you said it involves You-Know-Who! Then I was able to hear again when Snape asked why the blood was on the floor! What were you talking about with Snape!? Why can't I know any of this!?" Said Harry.

Harry saw that Michelle's eyes were beginning to water. She was about to cry but for what? Why is she gonna cry? Harry doesn't understand her at all, not one little bit! Is it supposed to happen this way?

"Please....Don't I need to know what's going on? Don't Hermione and Ron deserve what's going on?"

Michelle kept looking at him with watery eyes. Harry felt like he was hurting her. Michelle closed her eyes and tears started to roll down her cheeks. Harry felt them since his hand is still over her mouth.

"Do you have anything to say to me?" Michelle nodded to him, and he put his hand down. Harry waited for a few minutes but then Michelle did something. She started to open her arms to him, about to hug him, but she stopped half way. She put her arms down and looked at Harry in the eyes.

"Harry, I...."

"Please, I'm lost here, I just want out!"

"I...."

"Michelle, I need to know!!"

"I...don't know..."

Harry didn't know what to do now. He wanted to strangle her for some reason, but then again no. It sounds like Michelle is struggling to tell and not to tell. Tears kept rolling down her cheeks and the landed on the floor. Harry felt guilty again, but why?

"Michelle....please, don't I deserve to know what's going on?"

"Harry, I can't! Dumbledore says it's not time to tell you."

"I don't think you're telling me the truth."

"I am! But now's not the time!"

"No, I know you're not telling the truth! Tell me!!"

"Harry, I-"

"Ms. Bitting...."

Michelle and Harry turned to their side and saw Dumbledore walking to them. What does he need now?

"Professor Dumbledore, if it's about Malfoy I'm sorry! I didn't mean for it to happen! I'm sorry sir!!!" Said Michelle.

"Don't worry, it's not that."

"Then what is it?" Asked Harry.

"I just need to talk with Michelle for a minute. Harry, you can go to dinner now if you want."

"I still need to talk to Michelle, sir!" Said Harry.

"You'll talk to her when she goes to dinner."

"It won't take long?"

"It won't."

"All right then, I'll see you later Michelle. Do you want to sit by us again?" Asked Harry.

Michelle smiled. "Yes!"

"Alright, see you later!"

He started to walk down the hall and then started to think about Ron and Hermione. But then he remembered what he forgot in Snape's class. He wanted to follow Michelle....and spy on her. Looks like he got what he wanted.
