"Hey! that was mine!"
Serenity whined as Cedric took the last licorice wand she had. Cedric gave loud laugh as he tore off the last half to her.
"Fine share~" He mused. Serenity tried to take it, but he just swiped it back to eat it as Serenity pouted. It was her last day and Madam Pomfrey was going to let her go after one last diagnosis spell. Serenity was putting away her treats in a small bag but Cedric kept eating hers, even though he had quite a big pile himself. He then held out two licorice wands to her.
"Here you go. Sorry I couldn't help it."
She rolled her eyes as she gently took the two wands to place them in her bag of goodies. His arm and ribs were healing fine but he needed to stay in the hospital wing for another day. Though it was a short stay for Serenity, they ended up being fast friends. He would tease her a lot but she would just tease him back.
"Serenity!"
She turned around to see Hermione arrive from the open doors, walking to Serenity with her books in her hands.
"Hey there, I'm almost done, I just need to wait for Madam Pomfrey." Serenity said. Hermione promised to see Serenity before dinner started so they could eat together with the boys waiting up for them.
"Oh I wish she would hurry! You've been here too long and we have so much to work on!" Hermione said as Serenity giggled.
"What's so funny?"
"Nothing...Just I'm all caught up."
"You're what?!"
"Yeah, Cedric helped me with my essay for herbology." Cedric chuckled as Hermione gave a huge sigh, but blushed slightly when she saw him looking at them.
"I'm almost done, but I have so many electives right now. Especially with ancient runes and that stupid divination."
"Hold on! I thought ancient runes and divination were at the same times?" Serenity said as she looked at Hermione. But before she could give an answer Madam Pomfrey came in and ordered Serenity to lay back on the bed for the last diagnosis spell. Serenity did what she was told and layed back on the bed, looking back up at the ceiling she had grown familiar with.
"Alright...all...Done! You are all recovered and ready to leave my dear." Madam Pomfrey said with a smile as she let Serenity get out of the bed, moving the curtains away.
"Thank you so much again Madam Pomfrey."
"Now be careful dear, and don't forget next Sunday you're helping me organize the potion cabinet."
"Alrighty~ Bye Madam Pomfrey and I'll visit you tomorrow Cedric!" Serenity yelled as Hermione tugged her away to go to the great hall to eat.
"You better! And bring me some more treat if you can!" Cedric yelled back until Madam Pomfrey shushed him.
"Anyway, lets hurry! We need to go meet with the boys now." Hermione urged as Serenity ran after her.
They ran to the great hall to find it as beautiful as it was in all its glory. The two girls ran down to meet the boys, who Serenity gave both hugs and the rest of her friends in her house welcomed her back. She ate as the trio talked to her what had happened about the fat lady portrait, and how they believe Sirius Black was after Harry.
"Why would he want to go after Harry?" Serenity asked as she tried to act coy, though she knew the reason.
"We don't know...So we were wondering if you may have gotten a vision on that." Ron asked weakly as Serenity looked at her friends.
"...Now you know I can't control what I see!" She hissed at them as she took another bite out of her meal.
"We know that but maybe later you can try? Please Serenity!" Harry urged as Serenity stared at them. She gave a sigh as she said quietly for only them to hear.
"Fine...I'll try tonight when I walk Valiant...I don't want to get any pressure from you guys and I'll tell you anything that I know of."
Serenity said as they nodded their heads at her. Hermione hugged her as she kept saying thank you. Serenity felt someone staring at her as she felt something trickle into her mind. She shook her head as she glanced around to flicker her eyes up at the teachers table. Professor Lupin wasn't there and the Headmaster was talking to Professor Mcgonagall. Her eyes trailed over to Professor Snape...
...Why is he looking at me?
After dinner Serenity went off to walk around the castle, saying hello to a few ghost that were around as well as the paintings. She walked through the castle until she reached Dumbledore's office. She said softly,
"...Lemondrops..."
The Gargoyle moved out of her way to allow her to enter. Dumbledore was at his desk writing a few things as his eyes looked up to see Serenity.
"My dear girl, what brings you here?" He got up as she stood quiet for a moment.
"...a vision sir." The man's smile disappeared as he moved his hand towards the couches. She sat down as he sat across from her.
"What happened?"
" It's about Sirius Black...He's an innocent man."
"I know." Serenity looked to stare at him. She couldn't believe what he just said.
"You know?"
"...Yes...Well I've suspected he was innocent."
"You know but you let him rot is Azkaban?!" She exclaimed but he raised his hand to make her stop.
"...I couldn't help him. The evidence against him were so strong that I couldn't save him like I did for Severus."
"Then you must tell people!" She urged but he shook his head.
"You know as well as I that the truth will come in time..." He looked grimly at her as Serenity looked back at him. She couldn't deny the facts.
"I assume there's something else."
"Yes it's about Peter Pettigrew...He's still alive."
"How is that possible?!" Dumbledore exclaimed as she looked at him. For one as young as her she felt like she was already in her twenties because of the visions. She said in a low voice,
"...I don't know but when the times comes he will be revealed." Dumbledore sat quietly as Serenity explained her reason and that she had met Sirius Black. Dumbledore didn't look surprised at all as he nodded his head.
"You get in as much trouble to match with Harry's...But nevertheless I understand..."
"Thank you Headmaster."
"Anytime my dear...But it seems that your visions are getting stronger."
"Yes. It's taking a toll sometimes and even hurts but I've been trying to keep it at bay."
"But it seems that you've ended up connecting houses." He commented with a smile. She couldn't help but smile as well as she looked up at Fawks, who bowed his head to. She bowed her head back in reply.
"I've ended up gaining great friends here and I love them dearly...It's hard to see the world the same as them with eyes like mine."
"I-"
They were interupted by the sound of the gargoyle statue turning to let someone into the office.
"Severus? What are you doing there?"
Serenity turned her head to see Severus Snape standing in the entrance. Serenity placed her hand over her mouth in horror.
Did he hear me?!
She shook a little a she turned away, feeling his stare at her back as she heard his smooth deep voice.
"I would like to speak to you headmaster about something but it seems like you have someone here..."
"What is it about Severus?"
"I would like to volunteer myself on substituting the Defence Against the Dark Arts class for Lupin, seeing as he left for a small vacation it seems."
"Ah! That of course...I was going to ask you about it tomorrow morning but this is good. Thank you Severus. Is that all?"
"Yes...and I need to speak to miss Aragon as well."
"Of course, I'll send her to you once we've finished speaking."
Serenity turned against to look at the man but he turned to walk down the steps with his cape billowing around him. She quickly looks at Dumbledore.
"Does he know?"
"...No, I wanted to ask if you were comfortable but it seems like I already know what your answer is going to be."
"Yes...He doesn't need to know...But I will ask you when the time comes please tell Hermione this."
She whispers something as Dumbledore nodded his head. He gave her a smile,
"Now go to Professor Snape, I'm sure it has something to do with your potions class." Serenity tried not to groan as she bowed her head to the headmaster and to Fawks, before getting up to leave.
"...It's hard to see the world the same as them with eyes like mine."
Severus sat at his desk trying to write something but ended up ripping the paper with how much forced he used on the quill. He tossed the parchment away as he put his head in his hands. He leaned back and looked up at the ceiling, thinking about what had happen just a few nights ago. Her eyes stared at his but instead of fear or disgust it was something else... it was in a way...
"warm..."
He shook his head as someone knocked at the door.
"Enter."
Serenity entered in timidly, opening the doors gently before closing them. She walked a bit more in the room as she saw the professor staring at her from his desk, making her feel small.
"You needed to see me professor?"
"Yes...You've missed the past four days of lessons."
"About that, I know and I was wondering if I could use the last half of my double potions to make up for those da-"
"Unacceptable! You have broken the rules of not only skipping your classes, but leaving the school for days."
Severus didn't understand how this girl was still in the school. She should have gotten detention or expelled, but Dumbledore decided not to, which Severus couldn't fathom why.
"And for that you will be doing what you missed in detention with me for a week, starting tomorrow at seven o'clock."
Serenity's mouth was gaping open in shock and in frustration. She couldn't believe he was giving her detention when she was actually in the hospital wing.
"Sir! That's completely unfair, I was in the ho-"
"Rules are rules and you will follow them. Now… ."
He have out a harsh bark making her flinch. She stared at him as he noticed her iris' started to change slightly that the color of her green eyes looked like they were moving like water. She quickly snapped out of it as she looked at him.
"Rules...I've never broken any rules up til now and it wasn't intentional. Don't put your fury at me, for I wasn't the one who broke most the rules here in the school, nor the one who took the woman who broke your heart!"
"ENOUGH!"
Severus walked around in desk and strode across the table to grab her by the collar.
"Don't you ever speak to a teacher like that!"
"Why? Being a teacher is a title, but you're really just a person! Like me!" She spat back at him, making him toss her back. She didn't balance herself and fell onto the harsh cold floor, wincing at the fall.
"Get out and a month's worth of detention! Now GET OUT!" HE yelled as Serenity quickly scrambled to her feet to leave. Before she stepped out of the room she turned around to see the back of his head.
"...You were so warm...but now you act like ice as if I'm poison..." She said softly leaving as he hunched over at one of the desks, gripping onto it as he closed his eyes.
Because you are…You're poison to me…
:A/N:- AHHAHAHAHHAHAA So I know some of you guys will be like, "OMG WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED!" I needed some tension to happen before her going into detention. Once detention hits so will the walls of Severus Snape's. They're gonna fall and the next chapter you'll see why~ You'll also notice Serenity has become a bit more open and that's what she gets when she hangs out with the trio~ But don't worry it's not going to change too much. Now see ya later you guys! REVIEW! PLEASE!
