Lily stirred the potion and glanced at Snape. He was looking over his shelves for a jar.
"Have you found it yet?" Lily asked impatiently.
"Right here Potter." Snape said bitterly. He threw the jar at Lily, causing her to drop her ladle on the floor.
"I'd watch what you do," Lily said, "If we get this wrong it could end up retarding either April or myself."
"And what a big loss that would be." He said dryly. Lily put a sliver of wet red flesh into the potion and stirred it.
"I would like to remind you Snivellus that I am still very good at Jinxes." Lily said, "Lay your issues with James be put to rest." Lily said.
"It is very easy for you to say." Snape said. He sat down at his desk and started marking the work of his pupils. Lily glared at him and continued to stir. She would much rather do this potion in the Hospital wing but it was easier to make it here, it saved taking all the ingredients up the castle from the dungeons. She hated being around Snape. She shivered at a memory from her sixth year involving Snape. She kept her eyes closed as she stirred. She could have used magic to keep the ladle stirring but this particular potion needed to be stirred manually. Lily reached two hundred and pulled out the ladle. She pointed her wand at the bottom of the cauldron and caused the fire to grow in size beneath it.
"Bring to boil and let it boil for ten minutes." She said. Snape pulled a piece of parchment towards him and wrote that down. He looked at Lily as Lily brushed a lock of hair out of the way with her wrist.
"How do you know how to do this?" He asked.
"I've specialised in many branches of Wizarding Medicine." Lily said, "And when Emma was in her first year I did a course in Potions with the Department of Mysteries." Lily told Snape coldly.
"That department won't let anyone but Unspeakables into their courses." Snape said with narrowed eyes.
"They'll let you in if you have the right connections." Lily said. She turned to put some of the ingredients back onto the shelves. Snape's gaze never left her back, well maybe once it drifted lower then her back. Lily felt his gaze and tried to ignore it. But after about five minutes it was making her too uncomfortable.
"What is it Snape?" Lily snapped at Snape.
"Nothing." He muttered going back to the parchment. Lily looked at him suspiciously.
"You don't still love me do you?" Lily asked in disgust. Snape's gaze went to Lily's face.
"How dare you accuse me of such an accusation!" Snape shouted.
"Well is it true? You were in love with me at school." Lily said.
"I would never love a Mud-" Snape couldn't seem to say the word. "A Muggle born like you." He said.
"You better not or you're in for a rough life while I work here." Lily said, "You know how protective my husband is." Lily said with a smug look. Snape shook slightly and slammed his fists on his desk making Lily jump slightly.
"I don't care about you or your family, Potter, you can all die for all I care." Snape said. "The sooner the project finishes the better." He said as he sat down again. Lily rolled her eyes and turned back to the cauldron. She extinguished the fire and took a deep breath.
"Allow potion to cool before putting it into vials. Store at cool temperatures and away from the sun." She dictated to Snape.
"Very well." He said writing it down. Lily turned and stormed out of Snape's office. She hated him so much. She understood why she had to work with him to do this potion, he couldn't do it himself. He was brilliant at Potions but he lacked the medical knowledge that was needed not to make the drinker insane. Lily had overseen everything that Snape had done and then added the last bits at the end that prevented any form of madness from setting in. Hopefully it would work. Lily walked through the silent castle. She heard the scuffle of feet and turned to see thin air.
"SSH!" Pierced the air.
"Accio." Lily said pointing her wand lazily towards the end of the hall. A long silver cloak flew to her hands. Emma and Rhia smiled innocently at her. Their arms filled with sweets. Lily conjured a sack and held it out. "In." She said.
"Mum!" Emma moaned quietly.
"Would you like me to call professor Snape?" Lily asked.
"Fine!" Rhia muttered. The two girls put the food into the sack and Lily did it up.
"Now back to bed." Lily said.
"Aren't you going to give us a detention?" Emma asked.
"Don't encourage her!" Rhia muttered sharply to Emma.
"I'm only the healer, not a teacher." Lily said with a smile. Emma and Rhia grinned.
"Cool, can we have the cloak back?" Rhia asked, "We borrowed it from Harry." Rhia held out her hand.
"Tell him to collect it from me tomorrow." Lily said with a smirk. Emma and Rhia frowned before turning around. Emma pulled a piece of parchment out of her pocket. Lily sighed. Why James, Sirius and Remus gave these contraptions to their children was beyond Lily. April didn't know about them and Jenny just didn't care. Neither did Lily really but it just confused her. She went to the hospital wing and put Harry's cloak on the coat stand just inside her office. There was a door in the wall to the right of the desk. That led to her rooms. She glanced at the desk and noticed a letter. She recognised the hand writing. She picked it up and tore it open.
Lily,
I do not need you to tell me what is best for my family. Your repeated warnings aren't anything but a nuisance. I do know the threat of You-Know-Who and he won't attack here, where Normal people live.
Dudley is doing fine, as you asked, though he is still on that ridiculous diet that his school nurse insists we put him on. It's a complete waste of time if you ask me, he's a growing boy who needs his food. Of course, I'm on this diet as well. God knows what they are feeding him at school! He won his last boxing match, he would out beat your son any day.
Petunia
P.S. We may be going to Godric's Hollow for Christmas as one of Vernon's cousins has moved there and invited us to stay. I hope that I do not see you or any of your children while we are there.
Lily rolled her eyes. Poor narrow minded Petunia. She folded up the letter and put it into one of the draws in the desk. She took the cloak again and went into her rooms where James was sitting on a chair. He was looking at a painting above the fireplace curiously.
"What are you doing here?" Lily asked with a smile as she closed the door. James turned and grinned.
"I missed you so much!" He said. He went to Lily and pulled her into his arms. She gave him a deep, almost hungry kiss.
"Don't you have a meeting?" Lily whispered as James nibbled her ear.
"Yes." James muttered.
"Then why aren't you at it?" Lily asked, trying to ignore James' signs of affection.
"Because I wanted to be with you, besides it's with Fudge and I don't really NEED to be there." James said between kisses. Lily laughed and brought James' face to look at hers.
"You're a bad minister." She said before gently slapping his face. She pulled away from James and went to undress and change in her night clothes. James looked at her vaguely confused.
"What? No, I'm a good minister, the number of attacks have decreased." James said in defence.
"So Voldemort tells me." Lily muttered to James. James looked at Lily defeated and put his arms around her waist.
"He's still in your mind?" James asked.
"Yes, and he wouldn't be if Snape had done his job properly. I've spent half the night in his office-" James tensed "-making another potion." Lily said. "I need to test it though." James kissed Lily's now bared shoulder.
"Not on yourself I hope." He muttered.
"Unfortunately I may have to." Lily sighed, thoroughly enjoying the attention that James was giving her. She was so happy that he'd decided to come by.
"We have people at the ministry who can do that for you." James muttered. Lily could hear the rising passion in his voice. "Just don't put yourself at risk."
"It's ok. As long as you're here to look after me when I take it." Lily said as she turned in James' arms and leant up to kiss him full on the lips.
"By the way" James said between kisses. "This may be the last time I can see you for a while in secret." He said. Lily stopped kissing him and looked into his eyes.
"Why?" She asked. She knew that Dumbledore was aware of James visiting her every few nights and he didn't object but a few of the other teachers would frown upon it.
"I'm putting a full ban on the Floo network. All fireplaces are to be taken off the network...what?" He asked Lily. She was grinning at him.
"You're talking work again." She grinned. James laughed and kissed Lily's neck.
"I know it's not as effective as when you talk about work." James said. Lily nodded though James didn't see it. James pulled away and looked Lily up and down. "You need your St. Mungos uniform on." James muttered. Lily laughed and waved her wand. She was suddenly in her St. Mungos uniform.
"Now that's better!" James said with a grin Lily turned James around so that he was between her and the bed. She was about to say the cheesiest thing she ever did say but it seemed to make James happy every time she said it
"I think it's time for a health inspection Minister Potter." Lily said to James. James' grin widened even more as Lily pushed him towards the bed.
"Potter, watch the potion as you stir." Snape snapped over the class. Harry glared at Snape's back. The sign that Orion and Mei had posted on his back was long gone. Hermione put a warning hand on his arm. Harry putted his arm away and stirred his potion, watching it carefully.
"I hate him so much." Harry muttered.
"You and every other Gryffindor." Hermione said.
"No, every Gryffindor, name one that does like him." Harry said glancing at Hermione. She was concentrating on her potion, well she looked like she was.
"You're right, You and EVERY Gryffindor." She muttered.
"Sir! The Gryffindors are bad mouthing you." Malfoy said.
"Ten points from all the Gryffindors." Snape said. Harry and Hermione looked up and were about to shout in protest. "Speak and it shall be another ten points each." He said. Harry and Hermione were the only Gryffindors who had carried on Potions for NEWTs so they were constantly singled out. There was a knock at the door and Snape went to open it.
"Good morning Professor Snape." Lily said in the doorway. "I've come to collect that potion you made me last night." She said. Snape's eyes seemed to soften for a fraction of a second before they narrowed. Harry watched carefully. Snape turned on his heel.
"Come with me." He muttered. He went to his office with Lily following him. Harry looked at Hermione curiously.
"Blocking potion?" Lily mouthed. Harry nodded, he knew what it was, he hoped it worked.
"I hope it's a poison, mudbloods like her don't deserve to live." Malfoy sneered to his Syltherin cronies. They all began laughing.
"Don't you talk like that." Harry snapped at Malfoy. Malfoy turned.
"Oh, and what are you going to do to stop me?" He asked, "Just because she's your mudblood mum? You won't hurt me in front of her." Malfoy laughed.
"Want a bet?" Harry challenged. Malfoy looked at him intrigued and pulled out his wand.
"Is that a challenge Potter?" He asked.
"Harry." Hermione said nervously as she glanced at the door to Snape's office.
"Dessicatum!" Malfoy said.
"Protego!" Harry said. The spell bounced back but Malfoy moved out of the way and the spell crashed into a cauldron that belonged to a Ravenclaw. "Scourgify!" He said. The spell hit Malfoy before he had time to regain his defence. Malfoy's mouth filled with large pink suds.
"POTTER!" Snape shouted. Harry looked at the potions master. He didn't look happy. Lily looked at Harry in a disapproving look.
"He was insulting Mum!" Harry said pointing to his mum.
"That is no excuse to start fights in this class."
"But Malfoy started it!" Hermione said.
"Shut up Granger!" Snape said. "I'm in no mood to listen to you." He said.
"You never are." Hermione breathed.
"Twenty points from Potter and a detention." Snape said. Lily cleared her throat as Snape went to the broken cauldron. Snape took a shaky breath. "And thirty points from Malfoy and also a detention." He said bitterly. Lily looked at Harry before leaving the classroom, a small vial of purple liquid in her hands that she was tucking into one of her pockets.
When the lesson was over Harry and Hermione were headed for Charms.
"Snape just gave Malfoy a detention and took more points off him then me!" Harry said in disbelief.
"I know, it's really...strange." Hermione said with a frown.
"Do you think it was because mum was there?" Harry asked, "I would have thought that with mum there he'd try and put me in the worst possible light." Hermione shrugged.
"Well there was something in the way Snape looked at your mum when she came in that kind of disturbed me." Hermione said. Harry turned to Hermione.
"And what was that?" Harry asked.
"He...softened" Hermione said with a frown. They took their seats in Charms.
"He what?" Harry asked, "Can he even soften his expression." Hermione shrugged.
"I don't know." She muttered. Ron stormed in and sat next to Hermione
"I am going to have a serious talk with Orion next time I see him!" He snapped as he slammed his books down.
"Why what happened?" Harry asked. Ron pulled out a piece of parchment that was tucked in between his books and slammed it on the table. Scrawled across it was Orion's name written in a handwriting that wasn't his a heart followed by Ginny's full name Ginerva.
"This isn't his handwriting." Harry said.
"I know but still." Ron muttered. Hermione rolled her eyes.
"He's only thirteen!" Hermione said. "Many young boys fancy girls who are older then them." Hermione said.
"Yeah I know." Ron muttered, "But Ginny's my sister! I have to have a talk with Dean as well, now I think about it. I heard that he and my sister were..." Ron went slightly red. Harry wasn't sure whether it was from anger or embarrassment.
"They were-" Harry prompted.
"That they were seen in the Gryffindor changing rooms by Rhia." Ron said trying to keep his voice calm.
"So." Hermione said.
"Half naked." He growled.
"Ah." Harry said. Hermione turned away from Ron and bit her lip to try and hide a smile. She knew that that was a total lie. It was a rumour a Slytherin was spreading around and Rhia was completely confused about the entire thing. She'd let Ron seethe away for a little while though and have his 'talk' with Dean. He'd annoyed Hermione by stealing all her notes for Transfiguration and almost setting fire to them all while trying to transfigure a stone.
"Well, just don't hurt him badly." Hermione said patting Ron's arm. Ron glared at the blackboard and didn't notice that Hermione hadn't taken her hand off Ron's arm. Harry gave Hermione a smile and turned to look at Professor Flitwick.
"Harry." Rhia called as she went into Harry's room. "Harry, you here?" She asked. Neville suddenly appeared from his own bed with a book in his hands. Rhia let out a startled scream. "Neville!" She snapped. Neville smile nervously.
"Sorry." He said. "Um, Harry will be back in a minute." He said.
"Ok, cool. Do you mind if I wait here for him?" Rhia asked. Neville shook his head and sat back on his bed. Rhia went to Harry's bed and sat down on it, she leant against the pillows and picked up a book on the bedside table. She let it fall open on her lap and looked at the first page. Quidditch tactics. Rhia had to laugh.
"Um, so how are you doing Rhia?" Neville asked nervously. Rhia looked at Neville.
"Fine thanks." Rhia said with a smile. "You?"
"Oh, I don't know. Since June I've been a bit scared." He admitted.
"Oh, you don't have to be scared." Rhia said sympathetically. "You're completely safe here." Neville looked at Rhia sceptically.
"You haven't heard Harry in his sleep." Neville muttered. "Some of the things he says, it scares all of us. Only we're too scared to tell him." Rhia looked at Neville worriedly.
"He's having dreams again?" Rhia asked. Neville nodded. "Oh Merlin." She muttered. "He's got to do something about it." She said.
"Yeah, we've tried to tell him." Neville said. Rhia was about to say something when Harry came in.
"Neville, you know about...Rhia, what are you doing here?" Harry asked as he noticed Rhia.
"I came to talk to you." She said with a smile. She felt her heart speed up ever so slightly like it always did when she saw Harry. Harry smiled and turned to Neville quickly.
"Neville, do you know where Ron is?" Harry asked quickly. "I'm worried for Dean and Orion's safety."
"Library with Hermione." Neville said.
"Great, thanks." Harry turned to Rhia and sat on the bed next to her. "So what did you want to talk about?" He asked. Rhia glanced at Neville quickly before speaking.
"I just wanted to see how you are." She said.
"I'm fine, you know that." Harry said.
"Yeah but I think that maybe, you know, you should take up 'remedial potions' again." Rhia said. Harry's expression darkened.
"No." Harry said blankly.
"But you might get-"
"No Rhia." Harry said.
"Fine, go and ask your mum for help. She's just as good at it." Rhia said. Harry looked like he was considering it.
"I'll think about it." Harry muttered. Rhia smiled.
"Great." She said. "You heard from your dad? My dad said he might be coming down to visit on Hogsmeade weekend." Harry looked at Rhia confused.
"Yours or mine?" He asked.
"Both." Rhia said.
"Yeah, dad said he was coming. He wants to take the family out to dinner." Harry muttered.
"You're not happy?" Rhia asked.
"No, not really." Harry said. "He's trying too hard now." Rhia gave Harry a sceptical look. "Ok, fine he's trying but it's weird." Harry said. Rhia rolled her eyes. Harry laughed slightly. "Don't give me that look." He said covering Rhia's eyes. Rhia laughed and grabbed Harry's wrists.
"I'll give you whatever look I want." She joked. Harry laughed.
"Ok, then give me a look like I'm the scum of the earth and you want to kill me." Harry said.
"I can't do that." Rhia said.
"Why not it's easy." Harry said.
"Because...I can't tell you, it's embarrassing." Rhia muttered going slightly red. Harry put his mouth near Rhia's ear. Rhia tensed slightly.
"I know you fancy me, don't worry, you don't have to say it out loud." He said, getting louder towards the end.
"It's more then that Harry." Rhia admitted. Harry scowled and then pulled his hangings shut.
"Tell me then." Harry said.
"No, I can't." Rhia said, suddenly very shy.
"Please!" Harry asked.
"Why do you want to know anyway?" Rhia asked, "You've never wanted to know in the past."
"I'm trying to decide whether I should ask you to Hogsmeade. Ron and Hermione are going together. What did you say to Ron?" Harry asked.
"Oh, I dropped a few not so subtle hints. Ron got it eventually though." Rhia said. "But he hasn't asked her yet. That's why they've gone to the library." Rhia said. "But you want to go to Hogsmeade with me?" Rhia asked with a grin. Harry smiled.
"Yeah, I need your help getting something for Kara's Birthday." Harry said. Rhia nodded.
"Ok, well I think I can work that into my schedule." Rhia said sarcastically. "Let me check my schedule." She got out her wand and conjured her planner. She flicked through it.
"Oh please." Harry muttered as he fell back in his bed.
"I think I can make it." Rhia said. Harry laughed and picked the bottom of Rhia's school blouse. It was untucked as usual and it looked a little frayed.
"What happened here?" He asked, leaning up and looking at Rhia's jumper. It was torn along the bottom of her blouse.
"Oh, Baloo decided to use my shirt as a chew toy." Rhia said. She lifted her shirt slightly to look at it. "I thought I'd repaired it." She pointed her wand at it. "Reparo." The shirt mended itself. Harry smiled and lay back in his bed. He stretched and yawned.
"God, it's only Tuesday!" He muttered. Rhia laughed and slouched against the headboard of the bed.
"I know, I'm really tired." Rhia said, she put a hand to Harry's hair and began to smooth it. She'd spent the entire year last year trying to flatten it. Harry laughed.
"You're not going to manage." Harry said with his eyes closed.
"Oh, fine." Rhia said messing up Harry's hair. It stuck out at odder angels then before. Harry laughed and rolled onto his side and looked at Rhia.
"When are you going to play the piano for me Rhia?" Harry asked. Rhia tucked some of her blond hair behind her ears.
"I don't know. You've heard me play before though." Rhia said.
"When you were ten." Harry laughed.
"Good enough, you don't need to hear me again." Rhia said.
"Don't make me beg you." Harry said, pretending to glare at Rhia. Rhia looked at Harry smugly.
"Beg and then maybe." Rhia said. "But it won't get you anywhere." Harry laughed.
"I think I know what would." Harry said.
"What's that?" Rhia asked curiously. Harry tapped his nose.
"I'll leave it for another day." He said cheekily. Rhia rolled her eyes. "Don't do that!" He said covering Rhia's eyes. Rhia laughed and pulled Harry's hand away. She put her hands in her lap, still holding Harry's hand.
"So are you going to ask me to Hogsmeade or am I going to have to accept a date from someone?" Rhia asked.
"Do you want to come to Hogsmeade with me to hang out." Harry said, emphasising the words 'hang out'
"Alright, I have nothing else planned." Rhia said. She played with Harry's fingers as she answered, a smile growing on her face. They had been to Hogsmeade together before but every time that Harry had asked her she felt over the moon. Harry leant back in his bed, letting Rhia play with his hand. It amused her, no point in making her annoyed again.
Ron looked at Hermione nervously. She was getting gradually more and more frustrated with him. Maybe this wasn't the best time to ask her to go to Hogsmeade with him.
"Ron, it's not that difficult." Hermione said tiredly.
"I know, Hermione can I ask one more question?" Ron asked.
"What's that Ron?" Hermione asked looking at him. Ron fidgeted under the table.
"Um, you know Hogsmeade weekend?" he asked. Hermione nodded.
"Yes."
"Um...well, Harry has to go and spend time with his dad and well, instead of staying here doing nothing I was wondering if, well if you don't mind, I was wondering if you wanted to go to Hogsmeade with me." Ron asked. Hermione looked at Ron very surprised.
"Um...I really don't know what to say." She stammered.
"It's ok if you don't want to."
"Would it be like a date?" Hermione asked. Madame Pince hissed at them to be quiet. Hermione ignored her though. Ron shrugged.
"I suppose it could be." He muttered. "Yeah."
"Ok." Hermione said with a smile. "On one condition." She said. Ron looked at Hermione.
"What's that?" He asked.
"That it's just us." She said. Ron grinned.
"Alright." He said. Hermione blushed slightly and Ron's ears seemed to have a red tinge to them.
"Ok, so, Flayorous charm." Hermione said. Ron was able to pay attention now that he'd gotten it off his chest. He sat closer to Hermione as well, he did this without realising though.
Lily stood in Dumbledore's office a few nights later. Dumbledore was in the room with James and Snape. She felt like a test subject. The fireplace erupted and April stepped out, she brushed her robes before looking at Lily.
"I'm so sorry. There was an attack on a Muggle family." April said, "They're safe now." She said.
"Ok," Lily said with a smile at seeing her friend.
"Are you ready Lily?" Dumbledore asked seriously. "You know we could always have someone else test his potion, the department of mysteries has ways of seeing if a potion is good enough to drink."
"No, I'll be fine." Lily said.
"Don't be too confident Potter." Snape sneered. James glared at him and reached for his wand. But didn't do anything with it.
"Ok, here goes nothing!" Lily said taking a few deep breaths. She looked at the purple liquid. April bit her lip and looked away as Lily downed the potion. She closed her eyes and felt a cold sensation running through her body followed by a burning sensation. She winced slightly and she thought she heard her name. She heard an unearthly scream of pain in the distant far reaches of her mind. She fell to her knees and clenched her fists as she felt a strange tingling in her head. Suddenly all the pain disappeared apart from a small throb of pain like Lily had a small headache but she'd predicted that. She could just sleep off the headache. She felt James pulled Lily back to her feet.
"Are you ok?" James asked worriedly. Lily opened her eyes and looked into James' eyes.
"Only time will tell I suppose." Lily said. James sighed with relief and hugged Lily tightly. Dumbledore looked terribly relieved while April seemed to be flinching slightly.
"Lily." She muttered as she put a hand to her head.
"Here." Snape said handing April a vial of the potion.
"Drink it." Lily said. April quickly uncorked the vial and downed the contents. She bit her lip and collapsed to her knees almost immediately. She curled up slightly into the fetal position and held her head. Lily watched April anxiously.
"April?" Dumbledore asked after a few moments of silence. He went to April's side and gently pulled her to her feet.
"My head." She complained.
"Potter predicted that you may get a headache with her Medical genius" Snape said sarcastically.
"You watch what you say Snivellus." James said stepping in front of Lily protectively, even though Snape wasn't threatening her. Lily put a hand on James' chest.
"Severus." Dumbledore said sternly. Snape nodded and took a step back. James relaxed and put an arm around Lily. April looked suddenly very tired.
"I'll take April back." James said. "I'll see you in Hogsmeade." He said to Lily.
"Alright." Lily said. James gave Lily a kiss before taking April's arm.
"I can walk!" April snapped. "Lily, I'll see you soon, we have to talk about some things that are very important!" She said. Lily nodded and April turned to the fire. "Number twelve Grimmauld Place" April said clearly as she threw a handful of powder. She disappeared in the green flames. James was next but he said Godric's Hollow before disappearing. Dumbledore turned to Snape and Lily.
"Well done you two. We may require your potion making skills in the future. I'm quite surprised Lily, your speciality was always Charms." Dumbledore said with a smile.
"I've had a lot of practice." Lily said. Dumbledore's eyes sparkled.
"So I have heard." Dumbledore said. "One thing before you go. Which of you will be teaching young Harry Occlumency. Would either of you like to do it or shall I?" He asked.
"I'm not teaching that impolite brat again." Snape said. Lily snapped her gaze at him.
"That's my son you're talking about Snape." She said.
"And do you think I care!" Snape asked.
"You're just bitter that James got me and that I despise you." Lily said to him. Dumbledore cleared his throat. The two adults stopped bickering.
"I will leave the occlumency lessons to Lily unless Harry decides otherwise. I will inform him tomorrow." Dumbledore said
