"Hello Professor. What did you want to test me on?" I looked at Snape.
"Stand still.." He told me. He pulled up his wand and pointed it at me. I felt the slightest of touches on the wall of my mind, but it easily held.
I blinked at him.
He lowered his wand out of breath. "That's all."
*So thats what he was worried about.*
"Professor?" Harry Potter knocked and walked in. "Sammay? Why are you here?"
"Snape wanted to give me a quiz. I'm studying Occlumency as well." I grinned at him.
Snape thwapped me gently on the back of the head. "Sammay, don't give information you don't need to."
"Yes sir." I rubbed at the spot like it had hurt.
"Although, it would probably do you some good to learn from her." He pushed the back of my head so that it sent me forward toward the door. "Off with you princess."
"So whats with you and Snape being so close." Harry asked as we walked up to the commons.
"Oh, nothing. It is nothing new. Its just that Dumbledore has me learn extra stuff and such." I told the painting the fat lady. There was a rush of laughter coming from inside and we walked in to fin a large blown up picture of Harry's head. It was in the process of spilling out insults about Umbridge.
"What...Who?" Harry stuttered.
"My guess.."
"The twins" they said together.
A few hours later the twins and I sat n the couch in the usual way. "You really didn't do so well in setting up that spell did you?" The poster had now taken on the sound of a childs toy with a dying battery.
"And who says that isn't exactly what we want." George indicated the irritated students around us and I laughed. Fred brought my hand up and kissed it gently before going back to his homework.
Suddenly my scar seared with pain. I lay myself back against Fred and accepted the vision, but held my own mind away from it. After I got the gist of it I pulled my mind completely from it and opened my eyes to find Fred's worried ones looking down at mine.
"You alright?" His fingertips slid down my cheek.
"Yeah," I smiled and went back to my homework.
