Snape was walking around the hallways; he was looking for the Potters. He wanted to give them some news. That was until he did find them. Sidney seemed to be shielding Draco from Mr. Potter's magic. She looked pained. Like she was being forced to take the cruciatus curse. Trust me, he knew what he was thinking. He watched Draco tell Potter something. Harry came out of it; he stared, unbelieving, at his sister. She looked so much like her mother; he slowly walked around the corner.

Draco ran to her side, after she fainted. "Sidney..." Snape glided to Sidney's side, "Mr. Potter, to my office, now!" Harry exclaimed, "What?!" Snape sneered, "Now!" Harry paled, "Y-yes, sir." He filed out of the room, going to the office. Snape took out a potion from his robe, and he slowly trickled the potion into Sidney's mouth. She awoke and tried to breathe, but she couldn't seem to.

She was starting to change color quickly; he gave her air through a bottle, but it still didn't work. He had to pick her up and take her to the hospital wing, "I'll be right back Poppy."


Harry sat at Snape's desk, his head bowed. Snape would probably do something horrible to him; he shivered to think of what it was. Snape entered the room; Harry sighed, "I know...detention." Snape shook his head, and nodded to the door, "She will give the verdict." Harry shivered; he sounded like a real judge.

He turned around to the door; McGonagall stood there, looking sad...and frightened. She nodded, "Thank you, Severus." Snape exited the room; McGonagall said, "Potter, whatever did you do? You might be the reason for your sister's possible death." He said, "I didn't want to hurt her." McGonagall sighed, "I know. Now, about your punishment." Suddenly, the headmaster entered, "Minerva!" McGonagall yelled at the headmaster, "DUMBLEDORE, THIS IS MY COUNCIL! GET OUT!" Dumbledore backtracked, "Oh...of course."

The professor said, "Your punishment is to not go to classes and be in solitude for two weeks to think of what you've done." Harry looked up, "But, Professor, I need to go to classes!" She shook her head, "No." He gave up, "Alright." She said, "But...you may visit your sister twice a week." He sighed, "Can I go now?" She nodded, "You may go."


Sidney lay in the hospital bed, eyes closed. She'd fainted again; Madame Pomfrey told a worried Snape, "She's been hit by the choking curse. We need Professor Flitwick to straighten her up." Snape left the room, and soon returned with Flitwick. Harry burst into the room, and, seeing his sister unconscious, sighed, "Is she-?" Snape shook his head, "Not yet."
