"How could you do this to me, I never agreed to do the program!" complained a young blonde-haired woman with incredible green, almost transparent eyes as she entered the dean's office unannounced.

"Huh?" Severus only turned in confusion to look at the young intruder and was surprised at the woman's resemblance to Emma Stone.

"Gwen, what have I told you about coming into my office like that?" the dean said to the young woman who entered.

The young woman named Gwen walked into the office looking like a pretty young Emma Stone with blonde hair in open parted bangs, a green pencil skirt along with a white t-shirt and a green sweater, she noticed someone else was in the office so she looked at Severus for a second, then smiled with a raised eyebrow and turned to the Dean.

"Oh, sorry Mother, my mistake, I didn't know you were with guests, I'd better come back later," Gwen said highlighting the 'Mother' as she completely ignored Severus and turned to leave the office.

The Dean sighed shaking her head at her daughter's obvious attempt to leave her in an awkward situation in front of a student.

"Miss Gwen Stacy, stay right there, close the door and introduce yourself accordingly," said the Dean in an authoritative voice before the young woman could leave the office.

Severus wasn't paying attention to the family debate between mother and daughter because he was more focused on the strange coincidence that he would again cross paths with an actress who was not supposed to exist in this time and world.

Now he had even more doubts about Hermione's situation.

'Wait, she said Gwen Stacy!, isn't that the name of a Spiderman character, no no no, this must be just another absurd coincidence, I'm sure there is no Spiderman in this world, nor anything related to Marvel comics or others' Severus was lost in his thoughts the instant the young woman named Gwen Stacy entered who apparently was the daughter of the Dean and was also identical to Emma Stone.

'Besides, the history of this world and all the events that happened so far are the same as the world I lived in when I was Benedict Clarke, the only thing that is different in this world is that there is a whole magical world hidden from the muggles and this magical world follows, for now, the canon of J. K. Rowling's books' Severus continued thinking while ignoring the conversation the Dean was having with her apparent daughter.

While Severus was lost in thought, young Gwen Stacy who was about to leave the office, stopped in her place the instant she heard the dean speak to her with authority, arched an eyebrow then proceeded to sigh, close the office door as she was told to do and approach the desk where Severus and the dean were conversing.

The dean merely nodded at the young woman's obedience.

"Sorry about that Mr..." the Dean began to say to Severus only to proceed to look at him again and stop when she saw that the young man was not listening to her as he seemed completely absorbed looking at his daughter.

"Ahem ahem," the Dean tried to get Severus' attention.

While Gwen also noticed that the young man in front of her mother had become engrossed in staring at her.

"Eh? yes?" Severus seemed to realize that he had become engrossed when he heard the Dean try to get his attention.

The instant Severus was no longer engrossed he saw that both the dean and the young woman were looking at him with doubtful faces and the young Gwen he had been staring at was giving him a look with both eyebrows raised and an amused smile searching for answers.

"This... I... " Severus was embarrassed that he had become engrossed in staring at the dean's daughter, he was sure they had misunderstood why he had stared at her, but he couldn't explain the real reason to them either.

'{"Hey you look just like an actress from another world I lived in and that's why I was engrossed by the sight of you"} yeah, very subtle, it sure would work' Severus grumbled inwardly.

"Very well, Mr. Prince, may I introduce Gwen Stacy, my daughter and valedictorian of her year at Salem College of Transfigurations" introduced the Dean seeing the discomfort in Severus.

"Mmmm, oh yes, nice to meet you, miss Stacy, I'm Severus Prince, I'm going to be taking the summer program at Salem College of Potions" replied Severus introducing himself and mentally thanking the Dean for getting him out of the awkward situation he was in.

"Ah okay okay" Gwen replied nodding with a smile as she continued to look at him amused.

"Well, Mr. Prince, what do you think if we leave today for tomorrow and now take the opportunity for Miss Stacy to give you a tour of the institution's facilities, she is an exemplary student so she will be able to answer all your questions," said the dean smiling at them.

"Yes, sure, if it's not too much trouble," said Severus politely.

"Of course, it isn't, is it Miss Stacy?"

"Yeah Yeah sure, I'll be happy to guide you through the facilities, come with me" replied Gwen taking Severus by the arm and lifting him up to leave the office, causing the dean to shake her head at her daughter's behavior.

After they both quickly left the office, Gwen released Severus and proceeded to walk calmly by his side.

Severus didn't know what to say, in Gwen's haste, he hadn't even had time to properly dismiss the dean.

"So, does a lot happen to you?" Gwen asked him out of the blue.

"Happen to what?" said Severus in confusion.

"Staring at a girl, do you often do that?" Gwen asked again as they both continued walking.

"Cough cough, Oh yeah that... well, it was pretty embarrassing of me."

"Yeah Yeah, we agree it was" Gwen nodded jokingly.

"Yeah, well sorry about that, it's just that you look a lot like someone I know and I couldn't help myself."

"Ah okay okay, so?" asked Gwen again.

"So what?" Severus again didn't understand what the young woman was referring to.

"You know, what is that girl to you, you're not going to tell me that you got sucked into looking at me just because she looked like some random girl, she must be someone important to you right?"

"Well..., not necessarily," said Severus a bit uncomfortable not knowing what exactly to answer that question, after all, he only knew her because she was famous, nothing more.

"Isn't she?" asked Gwen becoming more and more interested.

"You could say she was more like just someone I saw the odd time or two and she left an impression on me" answered Severus without explaining much.

"Oh and was she that good?" asked Gwen biting her lip and smiling at him with raised eyebrows.

"Very good," Severus said automatically as he looked Gwen up and down a little lost.

"Yeah well, this..., a very good impression" Severus clarified after realizing that he wasn't thinking correctly when he spoke and could misunderstand what he was saying.

"Ah okay okay, sure," Gwen said as she nodded feigning seriousness, and gave him a flirtatious look.

After that, the two continued to walk around the facility as Gwen commented and answered him the odd thing or two about the Salem Witch Institute.

"So, the Dean is your mother, how does that feel?" asked Severus after getting more confident in the tour with Gwen.

"Yeah, what can I tell you, it has its good and bad things."

"Mmmm the bad things might have to do with the program you suddenly came screaming into the office from?" asked Severus jokingly, making it Gwen's turn to be mildly embarrassed.

"Yeah, it might have to do."

"So?" asked Severus.

"So...Yeah yeah, very funny, nice try," Gwen said putting on a straight face as a smile escaped her.

"Well, it didn't hurt to try" admitted Severus amused, he had tried to repeat what she had done to him in the conversation where she asked him why he was engrossed looking at her.

"Now seriously speaking, it had to do with the Potions College summer program didn't it?" asked Severus.

"Was it that obvious?" asked Gwen raising an eyebrow in doubt.

"Mmmm maybe, but yes, I suppose it wasn't that hard to come to that conclusion," said Severus.

"Oh, I was already thinking you were going to tell me you were some kind of seer wizard or something," said Gwen laughing.

"Not at all, I don't trust those things one bit," Severus said firmly.

"Yeah yeah, well, we agree on that" nodded Gwen smiling at him.

Every moment the two of them spent talking, they felt like they liked each other better and better, surprisingly for the two of them, they got along very well and hit it off on many things.

"The truth is that my mother, the dean of SCoP, was obsessed with me doing the SCoP summer program as she had done in the past."

"And you're not interested in that are you?"

"Not enough, unlike my mother, I do like and have a passion for transfiguration, not potions like her and I want to use my talent to further my future in transfigurations not waste time on a potions program or anything unrelated"

"Let me guess, she put you in the program course without telling you," Severus said.

"Yeah, something like that, since I've been a girl he's been looking to get me interested in potions, but lately he became much more insistent for no reason, and now without me agreeing he enrolled me in the program, the worst part is he knows I'm going to try because I don't like getting bad grades" complained Gwen.

"Well, it could be worse."

"Oh yeah? How?"

"Well, She could have applied for you to transfer to the Russian school Koldovstoretz which is the second-best school in potions after Salem" joked Severus making Gwen laugh.

"Yeah yeah, I guess you're right about that one."

By the time they finished the conversation he had made it all the way to the dorms for the students in the program.

"Alright, here ends the tour Prince," said Gwen.

"Just Severus is fine and thanks for everything, I must say you did a great job as an exemplary student."

"I know I know, I tend to impress people" joked Gwen.

"Sure..., I hope you don't go around telling everyone that because it's embarrassing" Severus scoffed.

"I don't think the Severus who glared at me in front of my mother who is his Dean, is the right person to tell me that I'm embarrassing," said Gwen sticking her tongue out.

"Well well, you won, by the way, you're never going to let me forget that are you?" said Severus as he shook his head in amusement.

"Mmmmm, let me think about it...mmmm no, now that I have someone to blackmail for some extra help in the program I can't let it go"

"Alright very well and just so you know, if you had only asked I would have had no problem giving you a hand."

"Maybe, but then I wouldn't have had the chance to remind you of that embarrassing moment as an excuse, see you," Gwen said goodbye smiling.

Severus just shook his head and proceeded to find his dormitory.

Once Gwen had left, Severus looked for his room.

After a few moments of wandering through the men's dormitory, he found a room with a metal plaque that had his name written on it; Severus Prince.

Paying no attention to the other two metal plaques, Severus opted to enter the dormitory.

When he entered his dormitory he found two people already inside.

"Oh no, damn it, why did it have to be you, I should have figured Severus Prince was you, how many with the last name Prince can there be" complained a blond-haired young man "Merlin knows I have enough to do with sharing a room with an antisocial to now be with you as well," he said as he pointed to another black-haired young man in the room who just ignored the comment the blond had made.

Severus recognized the two young men in the room, the one who spoke was the arrogant young man he came across while touring the ship with Freyja, while the black-haired, quiet young man was the one he shared a cabin with on the ship.

"Hello Sasaki looks like we'll be sharing a room," Severus said to the black-haired young man who was reading a book, completely ignoring the arrogant young wizard named Ethan who was talking to him.

"Yes it seems" replied Hayato Sasaki having stopped looking for a few seconds at his book to look at Severus and answer him, only to then turn his attention back to the book.

'Well, that's progress, he seems to at least tolerate me, he seems to ignore Ethan completely already' Severus said to himself inwardly.

"Are you planning on ignoring me now too, how mature of you Prince" Ethan scoffed.

"Oh sorry, I forgot you were there... Ethan wasn't it?"

"You..." Ethan looked annoyed and was about to start saying something but Severus interrupted him.

"Look, it was a long trip and I just finished touring the facilities, the only thing I want to do right now is getting some sleep and you guys should do the same, it's already late and tomorrow is our first day of

class in the program."

"Tch" Ethan grumbled but said nothing more and went to his own bed.

The three of them went to sleep without discussing anything else for that night.

...

A young witch named Freyja had been imagining what the Salem Witch Institute would be like.

Freyja was very happy to have her first wizard friend.

His name was Severus, and it was just a coincidence that she bumped into him because she was distracted by the magical harbor in Boston.

Luckily he turned out to be very kind and patient.

After they bumped into each other they spent the rest of the time together as she asked him many questions and he answered patiently.

He was smart and knew so many things that she was instigated by.

Freyja's father never let her know much about the magical world and the Muggle world even less, she couldn't wait to get to know the whole world.

She knew that orthodox wizards hate or dislike half-humans like her, so she always worried that others would hate her for being a half-elf witch.

Her father made her promise not to reveal and keep her elven heritage hidden, for this she had to modify through potions her pointed ears so that they did not look like those of an elf, it was the only notable feature she had from her elven mother, besides her magic.

But when Severus and she began to get into confidence and talk about more things, she felt safe by his side and asked him many questions to see what he thought about half-human wizards and witches, to which he at first reacted frightened to her surprise, but then told her that he had had bad experiences with some half-humans, but that in general, he believed that there were no major differences to separate them from society, that they deserved the same rights as any wizard.

Freyja concluded that Severus didn't seem to hate demi-humans, which reassured and excited her.

'It seems that not all wizards hate demi-humans as my father said' Freyja thought at that moment a little happier.

After Freyja spent half of the trip together with Severus, he had to go back to his cabin to eat.

And she had no choice but to part from him reluctantly.

Freyja thought about going back to her cabin just as Severus did, but it didn't seem to please her roommates much, so she preferred to continue touring the ship on her own.

After a while, Freyja got bored of touring the ship alone, it wasn't the same as doing it with a company, so she went to get something to eat and then look for Severus and continue the tour with him.

But to her disappointment, when she finished eating and went to look for Severus in his cabin, he had already left.

Disappointed, Freyja went into her cabin, greeted her roommates, who paid little attention to her, lay down on her bed, and rested for the rest of the trip.

A few hours later the ship had arrived in Salem.

Freyja's beautiful green eyes blinked sleepily.

'This... are we there yet?' wondered Freyja as she saw that her companions had apparently already taken all their things from the cabin.

Rushing out of the cabin, Freyja found only the staff inside the ship, indicating that all the students had already gotten off.

Freyja realized that she had overslept so she hurriedly exited the ship and asked for directions.

Luckily, it wasn't the first time it had happened that someone had overslept, and the magical institute already had a person ready to give directions to these people.

"You fell asleep didn't you?" an older witch caught her attention.

Freyja blushed.

"Very well, follow me, I'll come with you and guide you to the women's dormitories." the woman looked helpless and apparently already knew that Freyja was to take the SCoP program.

This was because most of the witches within the institute knew each other at least by sight.

Freyja just nodded gratefully and embarrassed.

After the older witch dropped her off at the women's dorms and explained a bit about the workings of the institute, she left leaving Freyja to find her room on her own.

She went through a few rooms until she finally found one in which there were only two plates.

"Freyja Jinlǜ" read Freyja the first plaque and then out of curiosity looked at what her roommate's name was for the rest of the program.

"Gwen Stacy" read Freyja the second metal plaque and wished the two could get along as the two would be sharing a room for the entire course of the program.

When Freyja entered her room she was surprised to find neither her roommate nor her things, the room was as good as new.

'Maybe she overslept too?' thought Freyja because she was the last one to leave the ship because she overslept and her roommate was supposed to have already arrived before she did leave along with the other students.

Without thinking much more about it, Freyja decided to unpack and arrange her things in the room.

After a while, the door to Freyja's room finally opened revealing a beautiful young woman with blonde hair and green eyes just like her, only the young woman's eyes were so light that you couldn't make out the green color so much, they seemed almost transparent.

The two stood looking at each other for a few seconds in silence until Freyja broke the silence by greeting the young woman she assumed was her roommate.

"Hello, you see...you must be Gwen Stacy, I'm Freyja Jinlǜ, your roommate, I well...this...I already chose a bed and arranged some things, but if you want we can change whatever you like and..." Freyja nervously began to say many things quickly without pausing and bombarded with information to the young woman she had just found out.

Gwen's eyes were watching Freyja closely as she spoke.

When Freyja finally stopped talking Gwen decided to answer.

"Well then, hello Freyja, it looks like I don't need to introduce myself, don't be so nervous, you can relax now, I understand you have a lot of ideas and we can talk about them a few at a time, but how about we get to know each other a little first, what do you think?" said Gwen amused at the nervous behavior of her apparent new companion.

Gwen was still angry with her mother for forcing her to do the program without her consent, but after talking to Severus, she managed to clear her head a bit, and now it seems she also has a roommate with quite a lot of energy but very nice at first glance.

Gwen didn't have many friends, in fact, she didn't have any friends, but she got along well with several people, this is because she always focused a lot on her studies and left aside going out with friends or things like that, already since she was a child she was like that, being smarter than the other kids she was a bit left out and that's why she always preferred to do things on her own.

"Yes yes, I'd like that" Freyja said nodding and smiling happily.

The two spent some time talking and Gwen took quite a liking to Freyja.

Unlike the other students, Gwen realized that Freyja was very innocent, pure, and kind, which made her feel that she had to protect her from the rest of the students at the institute who would seek to pick on her.

They both continued to talk until they fell asleep.

...

It was Hermione's first day since time traveling without Severus' company.

After he left for the program in Salem, he left her in charge of reviewing and sending him a summary of the current total value of the Prince's finances and actions.

In fact, Hermione had offered to do so.

After spending a week together with Severus, the two were getting along surprisingly well, he had treated her as if she was part of his family, well she had told him they were and now she was even listed as such in the Prince family tree.

But Hermione knew that Severus hadn't quite bought what she said, so she was sure he didn't consider her a real cousin yet.

But for that very reason, she was surprised by his very kind attitude, he was nothing like the Severus she knew or had seen in her teenage years.

'Only with Lily Evans was he so kind when he was young' Hermione thought as she recalled memories of the adult Severus, when he was with Lily Evans.

'Mmmm from what I could find out, it all happened as in Severus' memories, he by now had already called Lily mudblood and already spent a year trying to get her to forgive him to no avail, maybe it seems to come at the right time when he decided to give up after seeing James and Lily together, but luckily he hadn't decided to formally join the morphs yet, it's a relief that he will get there in time' Hermione thought.

Very well, what should I start with then, the papers to take the exams at the Ministry to enter Hogwarts are ready, but Severus asked me to wait a few weeks for him to settle everything related to the Princes before doing the paperwork because he doesn't want to draw too much attention to himself until he has organized all the Prince family matters and that's why I offered to help him, It was the least I could do after everything he did for me' Hermione remembered how Severus offered her his home, money and, above all, help at night with her little nightmare problem.

After some thought, Hermione decided to dedicate her day to seeing the financial state of the Prince, to give Severus a surprise tomorrow.

Once it got dark, Hermione had finished the summary she was going to send to Severus.

She took a letter and put the summary in it, then handed it to the owl they had both decided to buy at the Owl Emporium to communicate.

After the owl left to deliver the letter, Hermione tiredly decided to lie down to sleep.

Moments later that night Hermione suddenly woke up sweating and completely exhausted.

She had had another nightmare.

When she woke up her chest hurt, her head ached and her body felt numb, her heart was racing and her breathing was short.

Hermione quickly took the potion that Severus had given her to calm down in case of emergency.

Luckily the potion took effect immediately and she felt her body relax quickly.

She cursed herself for being so stubborn and not listening to Severus, he had told her to take the nightmare-free sleeping potion he had made for her every night before she went to sleep for these days when he was away.

Hermione foolishly believed that in the last few days with Severus' company at night she had been able to sleep well without taking anything, alone it would be the same, but she was wrong and now she suffers the consequences.

The nightmares she had were no joke, as Severus told her, they affected her not only mentally but also physically, she could have a heart attack if she was not careful.

After that she went back to sleep calmer but aware that now she had to be more careful every night before going to sleep and not to trust herself, she was lucky that this time she managed to wake up from the nightmare in time on her own before she had needed Severus' help.
