Author's note: I've been told that Professor Riddle is a Mary Sue. I
reread the story and I guess she sounds like one now. However, she will
not sound like one later on. Please don't stop reading because she sounds
like one now (She is definitely not based off of me)
Chapter 13
"Ten points from Gryffindor," Professor Snape said as he looked into Harry's cauldron. "This potion is supposed to be blue, not green."
Harry had spent the last hour carefully measuring ingredients for his potion. It had turned out to be a greenish blue rather than just blue. It was very close to the color it was suppose to be. If a Slytherin had managed to get this color they would have gotten an almost perfect grade. However, Harry was not a Slytherin. He wasn't even an ordinary Gryffindor. He was James Potter's son. That was enough for Snape to hate him.
The bell rang and everyone started to pack their bags. As Harry, Ron, and Hermione left the room, they saw Professor Dumbledore coming down the hall that led to the dungeons.
"Hello, Professor," said Harry.
Dumbledore gave him a small smile, but walked by them without saying a word. When he entered the dungeon and all the students had left the door was closed.
"I wonder what that was about," said Ron.
"I don't know," said Harry, "but I know how to find out." He pulled out a pair of extendable ears that Ron's older brothers had given him.
"Harry you can't," said Hermione.
"Why not," said Ron, "I'm sure it is something important."
"That is exactly why you shouldn't listen in," said Hermione, "if they wanted us to know they would have invited us in."
"They wouldn't let me know about the prophesy last year," said Harry, "and look what kind of trouble that caused."
"I'm not having anything to do with this," said Hermione as she walked off, "Do what you wish, but I'm not getting involved."
"To what do I owe this visit?" asked Professor Snape offering Dumbledore a chair.
"It's about Melanie Riddle," said Dumbledore, "Can she be trusted?"
"She is the Dark Lord's niece," Snape said.
"I know," said Dumbledore, "but family does not determine how you act. Harry doesn't act like James. Sirius did not become a death eater like the rest of his family. Saying that she is his niece does not tell me much."
"She is second in command," said Snape, "even if the Dark Lords other followers do not realize it."
"I see," said Dumbledore.
"She has ordered about half of the deaths," said Snape, "She doesn't do any of the killing herself though. Since the Dark Lord killed that veela and gave her its powers she has no problem having the men do her killing. I would not have hired her for any position at this school."
"There is no evidence of her being a death eater though to justify firing her," said Dumbledore.
"I know," said Snape, "Just do not let her know anything about the Order."
"Will you please have your sixth and seventh year students make the anti- veela potion in your next class. Make sure all of the boys take a drink of a perfect potion," said Dumbledore, "It wouldn't hurt to have the boys from all of the classes take some."
"I don't know if the sixth year class is advanced enough to make that potion," said Snape.
"Make sure they are," said Dumbledore, "We need enough for the whole school, or else something terrible could happen." Dumbledore got up from the chair and turned to leave.
"By the way, sir," said Snape, "at our meeting last night, the Dark Lord ordered the death of Peter Pettigrew. He fouled up the attack on the Dursley's house. I believe it was ordered by Melanie. I also believe that he was attempting to save Harry."
"So he is dead now?" asked Dumbledore.
"No," said Snape, "he did not show up at the meeting. We do not know where he is."
