I don't own Harry Potter.

Snape stood at his podium his eyes glided over his class. Stopping briefly on her, her green eyes seemed to look straight into his black ones. He watched as she rifled through her bag pulling out parchment quill and ink. He looked at the children around her. Granger, Weasley and Longbottom something about their being four of them set him on edge and reminded him to much of James Potter and his cronies. He flipped his attendance book open and started to call roll, he stopped for a heartbeat when he got to her name.

"Amethyst Potter." Her first name was spoken softly but her last name,his last name was sneered.

"Here," she looked at him she could see a war going on his eyes and she wondered what was going through his mind. He finished the roll call and slammed the book closed he had to take his frustration out on something.

"I'm here to teach you the subtle magic of potions making, I can teach you to bottle glory and brew death I can show you the power potions have that is if you aren't as bit a bunch of dunderheads as I'm usually forced to teach. Aimee narrowed her eyes a move that didn't' go unobserved by Severus. "Well follow these directions and don't mess up." He shook himself out of the memories that were plaguing him. He didn't even the nerve to question the girl as he'd been planning to do for months since he realized she'd be coming to Hogwarts.

Hermione and Aimee started their potion not really paying attention to the boys progress. Before they heard a yelp and swung around to see Neville's cauldron steaming and a angry red potion spilling unto the floor. This wasn't good especially as the potion was supposed to be a light blue. Ron had jumped away from the potion but Neville's reflexes didn't seem to be as good and he got caught by some of the spilling potion, causing welts to pop up on his skin. He whimpered and Aimee rushed forward pulling him over to her and Hermione and away from the still steaming potion.

Severus hurried forward banishing the potion and turning on the four kids huddled together as Ron had ran behind him to join his friends. "What prey tell did you do," he sneered at Neville well the boy was shrinking away from him and farther into Aimee.

"I think I added…. To many…Quills." He shivered at the frosty glare from the professor.

"idiot boy," he sneered. "Weasley take him to Madame Pomphry this instant." He swept back away from the work table as Aimee glared at his back.

"That, man." She seethed stirring her potion well Hermione kept track of the time.

"Aimee." She felt Hermione's hand on her arm. "Stop, You're going to over stir the potion."

Aimee looked down at the potion which was now foaming slightly. She stopped and let the potion simmer down before filling a vile with it and bringing it up to Snape's desk.

"Ah Potter." He took the crystal vile from her examining her potion. he looked at the potion and then over at the girl. The potion wasn't perfect but it was pretty close. It only held a slight cloud to it. Maybe the girl had inherited more from her mother then just her looks and that glare. He could still see the disapproval residing in the young girls eyes. "Looks good you may pack up." He dismissed her not able to look at her any longer.

Aimee gathered her stuff and helped Hermione clean out the cauldron before making their way back to the common room were they found Ron and Neville. "Oh Nev are you ok?" Aimee went over to her friend looking at him for any obvious damage.

"I'm fine Aimee." He chuckled "Madame Pomphry fixed me up no problem."

"I can't believe that man calling you an idiot." She huffed and fell back unto the couch.

"its fine really I'm used to it," He tried to wave her concern away.

"It is not fine" she snapped, as she felt some one sit down next to her.

"Whats got this one into a snit?" Ron's eyes widened as he shook his head at his brother.

"George Weasley shut it." She snapped.

"How in the hell did you know it was me, you weren't even looking?"

"I just know," she threw her hands up in exasperation before storming out of the portrait hole.

"Well what's gotten into her?" George asked perplexed.

"Snape called Neville and idiot in Class." Ron snickered. "if I was Snape he might want to watch his back from now on."

"Oh seriously." Hermione rolled her eyes. "I highly doubt Aimee is going to do anything to a professor.

"wow Hermione your optimistic." Ron laughed.

"Should I go and find her," George asked?

"NO,"everyone yelled and he sat back down shocked.

Aimee was storming across the castle and to the dungeon room door. She waited until the last of the people left the room before storming in and up to Snape's desk. "Miss. Potter," Severus was surprised to see the girl in front of him.

"Professor," she nodded her head curtly at him.

"May I help you with something?"

"Well yes actually you may, you see I don't take to kindly to my friends being called idiots. So if you'd kindly refrain from it in the future I'd appreciate it." She didn't even give him a chance to respond before she was once again gone.

Severus had felt like he'd been hit over the head. Had she just yelled at him at the same time not insulting him and she'd stuck up for him this morning he remembered, was their even an once of James Potter in this girl. But he knew there was for she may have lily's looks and compassion but she had James loyalty and if there was one thing Severus couldn't fault James Potter for it was his loyalty to his friends.

"You did what," Ron looked at her wide-eyed.

"I just simply told him I didn't appreciate him calling my friends idiots."

"You went toe to toe with Snape and lived you are now my hero." George bowed causing Aimee to roll her eyes.

"Maybe I said something's but I said them in a civil manner instead of insulting him." She huffed once again and sat down everyone watching her in awe and a bit of fear if she wasn't scared to go up against snape what else would she do.
