The screams woke the entire tower. Most people started towards the boys' area; after all, the only person who screamed like that was Harry. But as he wandered out of bed, it became apparent that the noise was coming from the 6th year girls' dormitory.
Devan twisted and turned, screaming out it what appeared to be agony, surrounded by a strange green light. Hermione had (surprise, surprise) read about that sort of protective shield, and cried out:
"Someone get Snape! He's the only one that can wake her!" out of the corner of her eye Hermione saw Ron and Harry rushing to obey. They returned in record time, Professor Snape behind them.
He leapt up the stairs before they had chance to transform and was by Devan's bed trying to wake her up. Snape put his arms around Devan and held her, muttering comforting words in her ear.
Devan woke up, and after realizing where she was, burst into tears.
"I'm so sorry! I can't believe it happened again! Why can't he just leave me alone?"
"Shhh Devan. You don't have to apologize, you couldn't help it! And trust me, that pathetic muggle excuse of a relative won't get away with it this time. Now, do you think you can go back to sleep for me?" and then, whispering, "Here, this might help." Snape handed Devan something which looked like a green blanket, and layed her back down on the bed.
"Thanks dad." She replied smiling, holding the cloak up to her face. As the young witch drifted off to sleep, Snape kissed her forehead and with a quite,
"Goodnight sweetheart." Left the room, telling the nosy students to go back to bed before he started deducing points.

The next morning at breakfast, Harry, Ron and Hermione sat down by Devan, to make sure she was ok. She blushed as the trio sat down beside her and said,
"I'm really sorry you guys. I can't help it."
Harry insisted that she didn't need to apologize, because he had woken the entire tower himself on several occasions. He started to eat, and saw a particularly smart looking owl flying towards them.
"Hey Fraser what have you got for me? Devan asked, stroking the owl. She obviously really cared for her pet. She unfolded the parchment and began to read. It said:
I'm gonna get you, get you,
You cant stop me, stop me,
No one can hear you, hear you,
So don't SCREAM!
Devan burst into tears, so Harry put his arm around her shoulder and looked up at the teachers table. His gaze met Snape's, who instantly got up and walked towards the Gryffindor table. He snatched up the offending letter, growled and stormed off. Ron looked at Hermione questioningly, who shrugged, so they helped Harry trying to comfort the distraught teenager.
"Devan? Who was it from?" Hermione asked sympathetically. If they knew who sent it, maybe they could figure out what it meant. "where did your dad go?" Hermione expected to be told he'd gone to Dumbledore or something, but she never thought the answer to both questions would be just one word.
"Tobias." Devan relied, and put her head in her arms. 'Great!' she thought. 'First night and I have a nightmare, first morning and I'm crying into my breakfast! PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER! You're 16 for Merlin's sake! Stop acting like a big baby!' Devan scolded herself, shaking her head. As she felt comforting arms surround her, Devan looked up into the mop of untidy black hair, and buried her face into the neck of The-Boy-Who-Lived.
Harry surprised himself by hugging the daughter of his least favorite teacher, and, as he did so, he could tell everything was going to change.
Caitlyn Snape smiled to herself as she saw Harry Potter hugging her sister. Then she realized why, and frowned. Caitlyn was pulled out of her thoughts by a sharp nudge in the ribs from Draco Malfoy.
"Hey Caitlyn what's up?" he asked. Malfoy had been flirting with her all night last night and she was really annoyed with the idiot.
"It's none of your business, Malfoy. And don't come looking for me, cos I'm not coming back." Caitlyn replied; pleased at the shocked look she received.
"Why would I want to go looking for you, Snape? You're just pathetic, I'm surprised you got into Slytherin, even if the Professor was!" Malfoy retorted, but he had taken too long to recover and Caitlyn just snorted in amusement, walking towards the Gryffindors.
"Hey Potter! What's up with my sister?" she demanded, but not really harshly. Ron Weasley handed her the parchment and shrugged, but once she read it the Slytherin scowled, glanced sympathetically at her sister and stormed off after saying: "Look after her, Potter."
Ron and Hermione looked at each other, wide-eyed. A Slytherin had spoken to Harry Potter almost nicely!
'Who's Tobias?' Hermione wondered, and decided to look it up in the library. "Hey! Harry, Devan! McGonagall's coming with timetables!" she told them. They looked up and blushed as they saw Professor McGonagall smiling at them. As Ron opened his mouth to tease them, Devan quickly commented on their timetables.
"Great! Double potions first lesson!" Ron groaned as she said this, but Harry looked thoughtful.
"I wonder what Snape'll be like now his kids are in his class?" he voiced his thoughts out loud.
"Same as he usually does, I expect." Devan replied, grinning at the looks of horror on the trios' faces. "Then after break, transfiguration then charms, lunch, a free period-great!-then defense against the dark arts. Awesome first day!" she continued with the timetable.
Come on you three, let's go pack our bags for today." Harry suggested. The others agreed, so they got up from the table and went to the common room.
