Over the next few days Rose struggled with how everyone treated her. She felt like she was in her first year all over again. On Friday she had potions with Slytherin. Everyone filed into the dungeons and took their seats. She looked around and saw an empty spot across from the twins and set her books down. Snape came in and told them they would be learning about Polyjuice potions. Rose smiled as she caught Snape smirking.

She had a feeling that he had known it was her and her friends that had stolen from his stores all those years ago. Her partner was Mia Nott a Slytherin. "Black I don't want you to ruin anything so how about you just sit there and act like you are doing something of importance." Rose hated being talked down to. She pulled her items out of her bag and wrote down notes as the teacher spoke. Once she had all the instructions she got up ignoring Mias' calls for her to sit down. Once in the storage cabinet she was pulling ingredients when Snape came up behind her. "Well, Well Miss Black it seems you've made this before. I dare say you will make a perfect batch," he said. Rose smiled and knew he knew.

The rest of the hour the class worked in silence Mia Nott glared at her as she worked diligently. When the hour was, up Rose was packing her things up when Mia knocked her books all over the floor. Laughing the Slytherins left and Rose started to pick up her quills, ink wells, and books. Tears brimmed her eyes as she reached for a book a hand covered her. Looking up Rose saw it was Fred with George standing behind him. "Hey you okay?" he asked. "Yes, thank you." "You should ignore them they hate all Gryffindors and more so purebloods in Gryffindor" said George. "I don't quite fit into their views, do I?" They shook their heads. "Because I'm part Weasley. I don't see what is so bad about that." "Well were considered blood traitors," said Fred.

Fred finished putting her books in her bag and handed it to her. "I guess that makes sense for the Slytherins, but the girls in my dorm ignore me too," she said defeated. Fred and George shared a look and nodded. "Well if you find it unbearable we can always show you a secret place you can sleep." She looked up and smiled. Wrapping her arms around the twins she hugged them. "Thank you."

The twins left, and Rose was about to when Severus cleared his throat. "Miss Black…" She turned and walked up to his desk. "Yes Severus." Rose smiled making Severus feel uncomfortable. He would never admit it but with Rose looking like Lily and her personality too made it hard for him to concentrate. It was like looking into the past. "I was hoping you would accompany me to the gaunt house to retrieve the ring. I don't want Dumbledore to be aware as what you told me happened last time." She nodded and waited knowing he had more to say. "Good be here tomorrow after breakfast I will be waiting."
