Hi everyone..I just would like to thank Sakura Moon for submitting my first Review. Thanks.=)

Chapter 7

Emily pointed to the Dementor and the Basilisk slithered toward it and surrounded it. With a bright flash of light the basilisk vanished and so did the Dementor. When Emily was sure the Dementor was gone she ran over to Harry.

"Oh Please be okay.." she said slowly

Hermione and Ron Joined her. "Is he alright" Hermione asked.

"We need to get Him to the hospital wing now." Emily demanded. She lifted her wand. "Wingardium Leviosa". Harry's body levitated off the ground. Emily turned and walked toward the locked door. All the students cleared a pathway. Hermione stepped forward.

"Alohomora" Hermione muttered. The door unlocked and Hermione led them out of the room.

They headed up to the 7th floor where the hospital wing was. Hermione kept looking at Harry with wide worried eyes. "What was that evil woman thinking." Hermione asked in anger. "I can't believe she'd keep a Dementor in the class room."

"That woman is worse than Umbridge." Ron spat. "I can't believe her."

"What I can't believe is that Patronus Emily summoned" Hermione said.

Emily looked taken aback. "What..what's the matter."

"Your Patronus is a Basilisk." Hermione replied.

"What's wrong with a basilisk" Emily questioned.

"Everything" Ron replied.

"Like what" Emily asked stopping and turning around.

"Well in our second year" Hermione began continuing to walk up the staircases. "We had a little trouble with Basilisks."

"Like how" Emily asked as she continued to walk up the stairs making sure Harry's levitating body wasn't hitting anything.

"Well you see..You know the 4 founders of Hogwarts right." Hermione asked.

"Yup why wouldn't I. I've done plenty of research on this place." Emily replied.

"Well Salazar Slytherin decided that he was going to create a chamber of Secrets and have a Basilisk live in it so it could kill Mudblood's. Salazar Slytherin spoke Parseltounge In our second year Ginny opened the Chamber and let the basilisk loose. It petrified a lot of Mudblood's including me." Hermione explained.

Emily gasped in fear. "A basilisk in the castle."

"Harry managed to kill it but he got into the chamber by using Parseltoung" Hermione replied.

Emily sucked in a deep breath sharply. "Parseltounge ...it can't be"

"Why are you all freaked out" Ron questioned.

"Umm Guys there is a reason why my patronus is a Basilisk. I too am a Parseltoung. I've had the power to do so ever since I can remember."

Hermione and Ron stopped dead when they heard this. "No way" Ron mouthed.

Emily nodded. "Its true...I know Parseltounge is a rare gift but now that I know Salazar Slytherin was a Parseltounge....well I'm scared."

"Don't be.." Hermione said. "Lets just get Harry to the Hospital wing and then we can get all of this sorted out."

They led Harry's unconscious body to the seventh floor and into the Hospital Wing where Madam Pomfrey stood there waiting for them. "Hello dears. Professor Haupman let me know you were coming. Let me see Harry." She took him in her arms and walked him to a bed and placed him down. "He'll be fine. Once he wakes up he'll have to have a bit of chocolate and he'll be cured, But if you wish you can stay here if you like. Classes for today are almost over anyway...Oh and Miss Granger..You and Mr. Potter will be spending detention with Haupman tomorrow instead of tonight."

They all nodded and walked over to the bed where Harry was. "Oh Harry do please wake up" Hermione cried. "Please..I'm really worried about you."

Emily walked over to Hermione who was kneeling on the floor looking over Harry. "Are you okay Hermione." She questioned. Hermione stood up and wiped tears from her eyes and nodded.

"Yes..I am" she replied. "Harry has been through this before so he'll be fine."

"Huh" Harry groaned from his bed. "Where am I"

Hermione turned to look at Harry. Her face was red and her eyes were big and watery. She then flung her arms around Harry and began crying. "Oh Harry don't scare me like that."

"What did I do" Harry said returning her hug.

"Your so called Bogart was a real Dementor" Ron said. "If it wasn't for Emily and her Patronus Basilisk you probably would have had the Dementor kiss performed on you."

"Basilisk" Harry questioned. "What Basilisk."

"Harry" Emily said stepping forward. "I'm a Parseltounge. My patronus is a Basilisk."

Harry's mouth dropped. "You're a what?"

"Parseltounge" Emily repeated. "I know you are one too."

"Ahh Harry" Madam Pomfrey said as she came over. "Here eat this" and with that she shoved a big wad of chocolate in his mouth.

Harry fought to chew it...until he finally got it down. He found himself slowly relaxing.

"You children should get going now" Madam Pomfrey said. "Don't you have a lot of Homework."

Hermione nodded. "I have an essay to work on for Arithmancy" she said wiping her eyes once more.

"Me too" Emily said standing up. "We'll discuss this issue later."

"Right" Ron said as he helped Harry to his feet.

"No, no, no, Ron" Madam Pomfrey said. "You will see Mr. Potter at dinner. Until then he stays here with me."

Ron gathered his things and followed Hermione and Emily out of the hospital wing. When they got out of the room Emily bade goodbye to Hermione and Ron saying that she had something to do. She waited until Hermione and Ron turned a corner before she moved down the halls.

She moved swiftly, her robes flowing behind her. She came to the stair case and went down them quickly until she reached the third floor. She then walked down the hallways quickly and came upon Professor Haupman's classroom she walked in anger raging through her. Professor Haupman didn't even look up at her until she stomped her feet on the ground.

"Yes Elizabeth can I help you." Haupman asked.

"It's Emily" Emily replied. "How could you keep a Dementor in this class room."

"It was a test to see how much you paid attention in the class." Haupman said. "Harry was expecting a Bogart but a Dementor came out. Of course he should know the difference between a Bogart and a Dementor. He is just stupid if he doesn't know."

Emily gasped in anger. "Harry's worst fear is a Dementor.He didn't know the difference." Emily snapped at Haupman.

"Miss Rivers." I'll be seeing you in detention with Mr. Potter and Miss Granger tomorrow." Haupman snapped. "Now get out of my room."

"FINE" Emily screamed at the top of her lungs. She then turned on her heals and stormed out of the classroom. She walked slowly through the halls counting to ten and taking deep breaths to calm her anger down but she found it impossible to do. She was seething with anger and nothing could change that.

Emily made her way to the portrait on the side of the stairs in the entrance hall. "Candy Cauldron" she said. She stormed inside. And tossed her books down, which made a loud thud on the ground shaking all the pictures hanging on the wall.

Emily then felt arms go around her waist. She spun around angrily. She was not in the mood. "Let me go Draco" she yelled.

Draco didn't let go. Instead he grasped her wrists. "Look I want you to calm down. You're going to wind up breaking something."

"Let me go" she repeated.

Draco didn't let go. "Look You have to calm yourself down..I know your mad.. but please calm down."

Emily took a deep breath in counted to ten. Finally her tension was released and she managed to calm down a bit.

Draco let go and hugged her close. "I know it's hard for you to fit in and that teacher is a bit crazy but please...try and get along with it..I know your American and Americans are supposed to be tough but don't take it out on innocent students.

Emily nodded and went into her room. She quickly did her homework and flopped on her bed. She then changed into pajamas and slept for the whole night. She even skipped Dinner, but she didn't care..right now she just wanted to sleep.

Tuesday and Wednesday passed slowly. Haupman kept Hermione, Harry and Emily till twelve midnight. And Wednesday everyone was piled with either tests to study for or homework. The weeks were beginning to run slowly.

Thursday morning came too quickly for anyone's liking. The morning was dreary and dull. The sky was full of big gray clouds. It hadn't started raining yet but it would. Emily woke up and put on a new uniform and she made her way into the great hall and took a seat next to Harry and Hermione. Ron sat on the other side of them with Ginny on one side and Neville on the other.

"Morning" Emily bade to everyone. "What have we got today."

"Double Potions" Hermione said as everyone groaned. "Charms and lunch."

"What about the afternoon" Harry asked.

"We have the entire afternoon free today because we have astronomy at midnight." Hermione explained.

"Oh No" Harry whispered.

"What's wrong" Emily questioned.

"I won't sleep at all tonight.." Harry said. "We've got Occlumency tonight- till eleven."

"Oh dear" Hermione replied.

"too bad for you Harry" Emily said.

"What do you mean..You have Occlumency too." Harry inquired.

Emily stopped eating and looked at Harry. "Oh yeah...I forgot."

Throughout the rest of breakfast everyone faded into their own world. Ron and Ginny were happily talking about their good grades in Charms class. Hermione was reading over a book on Arithmancy. Harry was looking over his schedule hoping he could find a way to fit in some sleep. Emily glanced over at the Slytherin table. There she saw Pansy and Millicent look at her and whisper something.then they broke off into a laugh. Emily continued eating until the bell rang scheduling the students to go to their first period class.

Hermione, Harry, Neville, Ron and Emily all groaned. Even Emily wasn't the biggest fan of potions anymore. She hated the fact that Gryffindor's always had potions with the Slytherin's. It wasn't the fact that she hated Slytherin it was just that she'd have to spend a class period with Pansy Parkinson and Millicent Bulstrode.

They made their way into the dungeons and found their way to Professor Snape's potions class room. They saw the door was open so they let themselves in. They each took a seat. Emily sat at a table with Harry, Ron and Hermione. Draco sat with Crabbe, Goyle and Neville. Pansy sat with Millicent and a girl named Elizabeth Bowen.

Hermione motioned to everyone to take out their supplies. She pulled out her cauldron and a notebook and a quill. The others followed. Emily pulled out her new Eagle feather quill. She really fancied this one. It made her write extremely neat.

"Hey Rivers" Pansy said as she walked over to Emily's table. "Let me see that quill of yours.

"No Pansy get your own quill." Emily replied.

"Let me see it." Pansy demanded.

"No" Emily shot back

Pansy grabbed it and tried to tug it free out of Emily's hand. "Give it here."

Emily tugged it back. "And I said get your own."

The girls pulled so hard the quill snapped in two. "Now look what you did Pansy" Emily yelled.

"It wasn't my quill in the first place." Pansy spat.she then returned to her seat.

"Great.." Emily said in frustration. "Hermione do you have a spare quill."

Hermione looked in her bag and shook her head no "Sorry..I only carry one."

Emily then looked at Harry and Ron. "Do you guys have quills"

They both shook their heads no.

Emily hesitated for a moment then she sighed. "Fine...I'll have to use this." She reached in her bag and pulled out a stick of wood with led in the middle. The point of lead on the end was sharp. "I'll have to use my pencil."

Hermione's eyes widened. "You carry Pencils to school."

Ron looked at it as if he'd never seen one before. "Wow does that thing actually write like a quill does."

Emily nodded and labeled the top of her next free notebook paper to give him a demonstration.

"Cool" Ron outburst.

"Calm down class...Take out your notebooks and copy down these notes on the board for the first half of class then I'm going to place you in groups to do a simple potion." Snape said entering the room.

The entire class pulled out their notebooks and carefully began copying the notes. Snape came around to see if they were actually taking notes instead of playing around. He came to an abrupt stop when he saw Emily.

"Miss Rivers..what is that." He said pointing to her writing tool.

"What's wrong with it sir." Emily questioned.

"I asked you to get out a quill Miss rivers...now tell me what is that thing is."

"It's a pencil...say it with me now....Pen---cil " she said sarcastically

"Miss Rivers how dare you bring a Muggle tool into our school." Snape spat.

"Its not like it's dangerous or anything." Emily said as she continued to copy down her notes.

"How do you know." Snape said.

"I know...trust me" Emily said returning to her work.

"Miss Rivers how dare you insult me..Detention tonight." Snape spat.

"Oh Professor..have you forgotten" Emily whispered so the other kids couldn't hear her. "I've got Occlumency lessons with you tonight...so it really wouldn't make a difference now would it."

"Fine tomorrow night then." Snape replied.

"Fine" Emily said. She spent the rest of the class in silence taking notes until Snape called them to stop taking notes and get ready to be paired up.

"Potter your with Parkinson"

"Weasly...Crabbe"

"Longbottom...Goyle."

"Granger..Malfoy"

"Bulstrode.. Finnegan."

"and ..Rivers..Bowen."

Everyone broke off into their groups. Emily met Elizabeth Bowen at a table off to the left of the room. "Hi" Emily said slowly.

Elizabeth looked up. "Oh.Hi" she had short brown hair and wore her Slytherin uniform. She was studying over her notes and setting up her cauldron. "I guess we should get started."

Emily nodded and took as seat next to her.

"Now I want you to make a simple mind healing potion..You can use it to heal your mind from any damage such as forgetfulness." Snape said.

Emily snorted. "Yeah when will we ever need that."

Hermione who was sitting at the table next to Emily and Elizabeth looked at Emily with surprised eyes. "Will you keep your mouth shut...Your already in trouble with Snape."

"I know its just that..well when will we ever use this potion in real life." Emily asked.

Hermione rolled her eyes. "I don't know." She then turned to Draco who was taping her on the shoulder. "Granger..Please trade partners with Emily..." he pleaded.

"No Malfoy..as much as I don't want to be with you I really don't feel like getting my butt kicked by Snape today."

Malfoy sighed. "Why..I want Emily as my partner."

"Too Bad" Hermione said as she pulled out her notebook. "Now go get the supplies."

Emily turned to Elizabeth. "Hi I'm Emily Rivers."

"Hi I'm Elizabeth Bowen." Said the Slytherin.

They set up and began to brew the potion. While waiting for it to come to a boil they got to talking. "Umm I heard Pansy and Millicent the other day... I think you should know that they are planning something rotten to happen to you. I think its just awful the way they treat you. I think I should have been put in Gryffindor or Ravenclaw..but because I'm a pureblood well...You know."

"Its hard I know" Emily said adding the shrivelfig.

"Well I just want you to know that they were doing that." Elizabeth said as she stirred the potion carefully.

Suddenly there was a large explosion in the room. Emily looked at Hermione's table. Both Hermione and Malfoy's faces were covered in black soot. "Malfoy I told you not to add the dragons blood till the five minutes were up. Now look what you have done" Hermione yelled.

"Sorry" Malfoy said standing up.

Snape strode over to them. "What has happened over here."

"Malfoy added the wrong thing at the wrong time." Hermione said slowly.

"Granger gets a zero and Malfoy gets half credit." Snape said as he marked it down in his grade book.

Hermione took a deep breath in and counted to ten. "I'm going to clean myself off.I'm not going to flip out at Snape. I'm not going to go crazy. I'm not going to tear Snape's head off and throw it in a bonfire even though I think I should" she said under her breath as she strode out of the dungeons in anger.

Emily gulped and turned back to Elizabeth. "Poor Hermione..I feel so bad for her" Elizabeth said adding the final drop of Dragons blood and stirring carefully.

Five minutes before class was over they finished the potion and gave it to Snape for testing. With that they left the dungeons.

Hermione didn't show up at all for charms. She probably was still trying to calm herself down before she found a way to fling Snape out of the North tower window.

Once Emily had gotten out of charms class she reported to her dorm and did her homework and then went to the Gryffindor common room looking for Hermione. Once she got there she found Ginny talking happily with Ron and Harry.

"Have you two seen Hermione" she asked.

"Upstairs in her dorm" Ginny said.

"Right" Emily said as she turned to the girls dormitory. She made her way up the stairs and into the seventh year dormitory. There Hermione stood hanging up something on the wall. Three sheets of paper. Emily looked at them closely. They were all stick figure drawings. One was labeled Snape the other was Malfoy and the last was Haupman. Hermione then flicked her wand and a few darts appeared on her bed. She picked one up and threw it at the pictures. The dart hit the stick figure Snape in the eye.

Emily giggled. "Is this how you get rid of your anger."

Hermione jumped. "Oh Emily ...I didn't know you were here."

"I wanted to know why you weren't in charms." Emily questioned.

"Oh you know.I didn't want to flip out at Flitwick for no reason.." Hermione said slowly.

Emily turned around and began to head down stairs. "Well when your done poking holes through your worst nightmares..come to the great hall and we can talk about it. Okay"

Hermione nodded. "Okay."

Hermione managed to calm down a bit and she was her happy self by Dinner. She showed Emily the papers she was throwing darts. They were covered in holes. After dinner Emily said goodbye to Hermione and went back to her dorm and took a break. She had Occlumency in an hour.

When an hour came..Emily made her way down to the dungeons into Snape's office. Harry was already there waiting . When she came in Snape began the lesson.

"Okay..Emily I suppose you know why you're here." Snape said.

Emily nodded. "Of course."

"Well I'm going to try you first since I know Potter hasn't been practicing." He said coolly.

"Okay" Emily said griping her wand tightly.

"Alright.I'm going to enter your mind you can do anything to try and stop me." Snape said. "Three, two, one..Ligilimens"

Emily shot her strength to block him out but before she realized what she was doing it was too late. Snape was in her mind and she was in his.

Snape saw a picture of the younger her with her parents.

Emily saw Snape taking his O.W.L.'s

Snape saw Emily run from the cafeteria of her old school in tears.

Emily saw Snape being hung upside down.

Snape saw Draco kissing Emily behind the greenhouses.

Emily saw Snape being teased by a bunch of boys his age.

"Enough.." Snape roared.

The connection broke and Emily snapped out of it.

"I said Block me" Snape yelled.

"Well sorry" Emily snapped back. "This is opposite what I'm used to doing."

Harry looked them dumbfounded. "What are you talking about Emily."

"None of your business Potter." Snape yelled.

Harry closed his mouth and turned back to Emily.

"Miss rivers this time block me" Snape said. "Ligilimens"

Emily closed her eyes and focused all the strength she had and let it all go in one blast. Snape didn't enter her mind this time..she heard a crash and she opened her eyes. Snape had been thrown back and slammed into a shelf.

Emily gasped. "Oh my gosh." She ran over to him. "I'm so sorry."

Snape opened his eyes and pulled himself to his feet. "I've never felt such force since the dark lord had done that to me."

Emily's eyes widened. "Voldemort?" she questioned.

"Don't say that name" Snape roared.as he rubbed a spot on his arm.

Emily gasped. "You're a death eater"

Snape lowered his eyes. "I used to be...Potter...Rivers.I'm going to end class early. You have permission to miss Astronomy class if you want to. now go."

Harry quickly got up and left Emily however turned to Snape. "A death eater" she repeated. "You..of all people." and with that she turned and ran away.

Emily ran out of the dungeons and into her Dorm.she didn't feel like going to Astronomy class. She was to tired. She got changed into some pajamas and went into her room and fell asleep. The only thing that rested on her mind was Snape... "Him a death eater...why" she kept asking herself. "He would be the last person I'd expect to turn into a death eater."
