Hi, I am going to be doing some time skipping towards end of chapter.
The rest of my break from school was nice and pleasant. Christmas was well and I had spent a couple of nights with my mother and father at Lestrange Manor. I got very close to them in a short period of time and it was very hard for me to say good bye to them at the train station but now it was time to get back to education. My parents and Aunt and Uncle had made me promise all of them I would send them letters at least once a week. All my thoughts were interrupted. All the students and staff were sitting in the dinning hall for our first dinner back.
"Hey, Capella how was your break?" Asked Blaise Zabini, one of Draco's friends. People had been gossiping that he liked me but I honestly had no interest in being more than friends with him.
"It was pleasant, how was yours Blaise." I honestly did not care what he had to say, every year it was the same new thing about his mother getting remarried or about his step-dad dieing. I had no interest in listening but Blaise was one of the only students that I could even stand around, I found it much easier to talk and communicate with adults. I had drawn my attention over to the staff table, finally Professor Snape caught my attention as I looked at him I noticed that he was just staring at me, emotionless. I tried eating my dinner in peace but every time I looked up he was still staring at me. Finally dinner was over and we were lead back to our common rooms. Everyone was still just hanging out in the Slutherin common room but I honestly did not care to share the events of break or learn about anyone else's so I just went up to my dorm and went to bed.
When I had awaken everyone in my dorm was still asleep so I decided to disappear before anyone else got up. I got my school uniform and went to shower. I quickly got dressed and just pulled my hair back into a pony tail. When I checked into my dorm before I went to go eat the other girls were just starting to wake up. I had taken my time walking to the dinning hall and was just absorbing and noticing all of my surroundings. When I got into the dinning hall it was basically empty, there were a few first year Slytherins, and people from other houses, all of the staff was already at there table. I was not feeling very hungry so I just ate a piece of toast and spent time reading a new book on Charms I had gotten for Christmas. Finally when I saw some Slytherins and the "Golden Trio" come into the dining hall I decided to leave and get to my first class, Potions. When I got into the classroom Professor Snape was just sitting at his desk grading some papers.
"Well good morning Miss. Lestrange, class does not start for another 45 minutes." He said as he eyed me walk over to my seat which was right by his desk.
" I am sorry Professor. I was done with breakfast and did not feel like socializing with the other students, I will come back when it is time for class." I said grabbing my bag and getting up.
"No, it is fine. Please stay. I was only informing you that you were early." He said. So, I just sat down and pulled out a book. It was like dinner all over again every time I looked up, he was staring.
"Professor." I started
"Capella, I heard about your mom and if you need anything, anything at all I am here." I was completely shocked by him. Professor Snape was never the type of man who was so straight forward or the one to be a therapist figure. The rest of my day was quiet and uneventful as was every following day. It was always the same routine, I would get up early, go to breakfast, Potions, and then the rest of my classes. Every week I would talk to my family back home but everyday I would talk to and feel closer to Professor Snape. By the time I knew it, it was already the end of the year and it was time for summer break. Everyone had said there goodbyes for the summer. Many different guys including Blaise had invited me over or out on a date but I had told them all that I was either busy or not interested. By the time I got on to the train there was only one guy on my mind, Professor Snape. It was true I would miss him this summer but I was glad to finally be able to spend my first summer with my parents. During the train ride home I sat next to Draco and it was a quiet and peaceful nap for I had fallen asleep.
