Finding a bathroom, I went into a stall, and thought about who to at first I thought to change into Dumbledore, but since he was roaming around the halls at the moment, it would be a stupid idea. Then I thought of Snape. He currently must've been finishing up class with my group. With a nod at the thought of how he looked, carefully, wanting to nail the look.
First, I did the obvious changes; height, sex, skin ton and general thin build. Next was to get his face; a large hooked nose replaced my typical small one, then my usually amber colored eyes were dark, black in color. My hair went from the long dark brown soft look, to shoulder length to, greasy and black, framing my now cold looking face. My teeth even went crooked and yellow. I walked out of the stall, looking at my reflection, I bit back a snicker, seeing a Snape in the mirror, with the uniform of a female student, and the short robes I had on, it was amusing. Quickly, i pulled out my wand out of the pocket, thinking quickly of the usual attire of the professor, black flowing robes, that were like wings. Black trousers and matching black shirt and shoes. Once the attire was vivid in my mind
"Tethunois Millashe" I whispered, the spell my mother often used on herself, to change her clothes. A cloud of black smoke covered me, once it was gone, my reflection was exact. Aside from Capone sitting on my shoulder, obviously confused by the look, I smiled at him, "You'll need to hide yourself, into my cloak, Capone" I whispered to him, hearing the voice of Snape leave my lips. As if accepting what was going on Capone, crawled to the inside of the bat cloak, and ended up sitting in a pocket that was on the inside of the cloak. Once he was secure, I quickly I put my satchel, with my books and various other school supplies, I hid it in a stall. Once I closed the stall door, I charmed the stall, so no one would be able to take my stuff.
Now for the real test. Taking a gulp of air, I walked swiftly out of the bathroom, I kept my mind focused on keeping the usual face that Snape had. Usually, cold, straight, and nothing appearing on it. I was so focused, I didn't notice I bumped into someone. Looking at whom I had bumped into, I saw the pale skin and light blue eyes of, Professor Quirrell. Whom backed up quickly, but was still close.
"S-Snape" He twitched and mumbled the name, keeping my face straight, hopefully not showing my fear of being caught. "No worries, I-I wasn'-t wi-with Fluff-y" He stuttered. Who's Fluffy?
"Shut up! It's not him, you fool!" I herd a raspy voice that wasn't Quirrell, but came from him. The voice sent shivers down my back, it was a creepy voice. Quirrells face when from its usual timid and frightful to a darker more sinister.
Quickly I pushed past the man, making my way to the library, thankful for there being other students studying. I could feel my heart about to jump right out of my chest. What was that? That voice? It wasn't Quirrell, yet it came from him. What was the talk about Fluffy? I shook my head. As long he doesn't figure out that I was being Snape, I'll be fine. With that thought. Letting out the breath, I must've been holding it in. Once I gained control of my nerves, I walked through the library, past Pince, who only gave a curt nod, then went to look back to her work. Walking past her, I made a b-line to the restricted section.
Crossing the threshold I could fully see the large shelves filled with books, not as many books as there were back home, but enough to where I'm sure I'd find a book, or books to aid me in wandless, nonverbal magic. Now adding Fluffy and the creepy voice I heard that came from Quirrell were added to my research list.
Scrolling through the titles, I couldn't find anything on anything I was looking for. However, I eventually came to a stop within the 'R's. Where I came across a slim black book, that appeared to look more like a journal, or diary of sorts, it was almost looked over as the black book was surrounded by larger books. Pulling out the little black book, I took note of the leather covers, that were nearly perfect, as if they weren't touched.
"What do you mean 'what am I doing back here', Madam Pince?" Shit, Snape!
Quickly, I walked out of the restricted section, quietly, I hid close to the shelf, looking over some books, that were in the shelves, seeing the Professor whom I was disguised as, giving the librarian a nasty look. I couldn't help my smile, happy that the woman was plainly nervous under the gaze of Snape. Pince began walking towards the back of the library, as they did so, I quickly and quietly, walked around the other side of the shelves. Coming to a stop when they did.
I looked towards the exit, the only thing between it and I were the students currently in the library, along with it being in the eye shot of the stopped bat and vulture. Noticing the cups the students had, they must've been trying to change the water in them into rum.
Pulling my wand out of my trouser pocket, concentrating on all the cups within the room, I quickly made an infinity symbol, then whispering, "Avifors", once the spell left my lips, all of the cups turned into birds, causing the perfect distraction.
Everyone focusing on all of the flying birds, to focused to notice me sprinting out of the library. Running down the halls, ignoring the odd stares from students as I did, I made my way into the laboratory where I had left my bag. Once I made it, I lifted my charm, quickly getting into the stall. Sitting on the toilet I took a moment to breath and to sooth my adrenaline rush. Letting myself morph from Snape, back to my usual self. With a flick of my wand and a whisper of my previous spell, i changed my clothes, back to the uniform, and cloak I had on before. Once it changed, something fell. Looking at the ground I saw the little black diary. I must've forgotten to put it back. I guess I'll have to hold onto it till my next chance to put it back. Placing it in my bag, I got up, patting my skirt down, and comb my soft brown hair out, with my fingers, still coming down from the rush. Capone crawled out from wherever in my cloak he was in, ending up on my lap he looked upwards at me. Tilting his head, as if telling me to calm down.
"It's alright" I whispered to him, rubbing the top of his head. "What do you say we go for some lunch? I don't know about you, but I could do with a decent sandwich" moving him from my lap to my shoulder, pick up my bag, placing my wand into my pocket. Opening the door, I looked at my reflection in the mirror over the sink. Nodding at the reflection, then made my way out of the bathroom.
As I walked into the great hall, I saw there were a few students sitting, and some plates of basic fruit, and snakes on the tables, I saw Hermione sitting along at her table. With a smile, I walked over towards her, sitting next to her. "I was trying to talk them into letting me use the restricted section for an independent study" I informed her, grabbing scooping a few crisps onto a plate, and a bundle of grapes, for Capone. Hermione raised an eyebrow looking at me, "Why'd you do that?" I shrugged, "Figured maybe I could just be allowed to go into the section without needing permission every so often. I aimed higher than I should've" We both chuckled, "but I managed to get into the section" she looked at me a bit confused, after giving her a quick wink, her eyes lit up.
"You became someone else!" She said loudly, causing me to, shush her, she went on in a quieter tone, "why didn't I think of that? So, did you find what you were looking for?"
Before I could answer the buffoon from the train, Neville sat down with some other Gryffindor. They were talking about birds in the library.
"Nope, but I may have cause cups to turn into birds so I could escape, without being caught." I whispered to her motioning to the two boys talking.
Hermione gave a smile, opening her mouth to say something, but was interrupted before a word could leave her lips by another Gryffindor, "Get lost snake." Hermione and I both looked to see a pretty girl, a tall darker skinned witch, with eyes and hair to match. Next to her two other girls both were also wearing their Gryffindor ties, one of them was pale skin, with messy brown hair and brown eyes,the other girl had a dark skin tone, brown eyes and dark hair, she was a bit larger than the other two girls, with a bigger chest.
"Angelina, Amber is fine, she's a friend" Hermione informed the pretty lead girl.
The girl only scoffed at Hermione, "I don't care, she's a snake, she's not trustworthy, she needs to go now." The girl went on, with a warning, "Or I'll make her go."
It was my turn to scoff, "As if, I dare you to make me go." I looked at her, through narrowed eyes, "I'm sure I can make you regret it" I then felt a sick feeling in my stomach, my breath hitched in my throat, when I saw Professor Snape walk into the great hall, with Professor Quirrell not to far behind. I watched the two professors carefully, Snape seemed to be very annoyed while Quirrell was talking to him. The two made it to their usual spots at the head table, where the professors always ate at.
"Aren't you listening snake!" The dark girl, Angelina demanded.
I looked back at her, "You were talking?" I questioned, rolling my eyes at her, then turning to Hermione, "I remember I have to do something, see you in flying." With a wave, I got up from the Gryffindor table, gripping the strap of my bag, tightly as I walked towards the two professors. I need to know if they knew I was being Snape. I shook my head, clearing my mind, in attempt to calm down.
Soon, I stood on the opposite side of the professors, the table between us, trying to use my normal tone and voice, "My independent studying was kind of approved, and kind of unapproved" I informed snake, mentally jumping for joy, as I managed to sound, normal.
Both Snape and Quirrell looked to me, Quirrell seemed to narrow his eyes, slightly as he looked me up and down, causing me to buckle my knees. Snape on the other hand spoke
"I've been told, December is when you'll be judged, and perhaps be able to enter the restricted section" His tone was dull, as usual. Then it changed as he proceeded to ask me a question, "While, you're here , you wouldn't have happen to been in the library at all? Or seen myself walking around the halls, have you, being odd?"
I raised a brow, trying to keep my act together, he wants to know if I became him. Surely he and the other professors knew, that myself and Ava could morph. "I was in the library for a bit, but left, to walk around the castle, still being a bit annoyed with Dumbledore, as for seeing you, I don't think so, then again I was to en-wrapped in my thoughts to notice much." I answered his questions carefully. He only stared at me, as I went on, letting out a slight chuckle, "But I've heard there were some birds in the library, different stories on how they got there, it's probably good I wasn't there, or some big bird might have swooped up and took Capone from me" I motioned to the glider that was sitting on my shoulder.
He was quiet, giving Quirrell the chance to ask a question, "Wh-what's this ab-about the re-re-restricted section?" He stuttered, his face going back to a fearful one.
"None of your concern Quirinus, you may go sit " Snape dismissed me, nodding, I quickly, went to the Slytherin table, feeling a set of eyes digging through my back. ,Taking a seat in my usual spot I saw Quirrell looking down at me, eyes like daggers, but as quickly as I looked to him, he turned his attention back to Snape.
"I don't trust him" I muttered to myself.
Of course though, I was heard, "Don't trust who?" Looking next to me I saw Draco, he was taking his usual seat next to me.
I shrugged, "Nothing, how were classes?" I questioned him, quickly changing the topic. As I reached for a sandwich, from a plate filled with them, and I took a quick bite.
"Fine, we were went over our next potion, for next week and need to write an essay on the the crucial ingredients for it." He looked to me, his eyes lit up, "I suppose you know what they are?"
I smiled, swallowing the food in my mouth before I spoke, "Depends what potion?"
"The forgetfulness potion" He responded simply, pulling out a quill and paper, as did his two fat sidekicks, sitting on the opposite side of the table from us.
Thinking carefully before I replied, "Lethe River Water, mistletoe berries and Valerian sprigs" I answered simply, going on into depth, "the Lethe water is the main ingredient that causes the drinker to forget things, while the berries are what give the potion its, white color and waxy feeling, while the Valerian is used to make sure for this potion, that the brain stays alright, so only one bit of the memory is forgotten" I paused for a moment, letting the three write it all down, I smiled a bit, "Funny thing about the Valerian It's also used in fudge, and various Draught potions. As well as it once went by a different name, in medieval times, All Heal I think? It was known even back then that It was useful, though they used it as a sleep and nerve remedy and a treatment for some brain problems" Once they were done writing I questioned about charms class.
Taking another bite out of my sandwich, as I did Draco went to talk about the class, "We went over a Levitation Charm, Windgardium Leviosa, we need to make a list of some other levitating charms, and how they differ" He looked to me carefully, "Would you mind letting me use that brain for the list?"
I raised a brow, drinking some water before I answered, "Maybe later, if you can name three of them" He just nodded agreeing.
