Albus sits sadly with Severus at his kitchen table in his quarters. Severus eventually broke the silence "So young to loathe herself so much" Albus nodded as he responded "The last time I heard anyone wish they were dead was when you turned away from Voldemort." Severus shuddered slightly and mumbled "Don't remind me." Then in his normal brisk manner he asked "What do you intend to do with the girl?, Once he returns he will be sure to learn from Bellatrix of his daughter. Do you intend to make the child have to disappear?" Albus shook his head sadly, "I'm afraid not, think for a moment my dear boy, who is it that constantly whispers in his ears that you are not truly loyal." Severus realised with a jolt what he was getting at "Bellatrix, you mean to tell me you intend to make the child another spy in order to cement my allegiance in Bellatrix's mind." Albus nods as he informs Severus "If you begin training her and testing her skills in occlumency you could ensure she won't let slip any of the details. If she agrees to it she being Bellatrix and Voldemort's daughter would be able to convince Bellatrix of your loyalty in turn stopping her from continuing to doubt you and telling Voldemort of her doubts. It's obvious that Bellatrix has an attachment to the girl, she wouldn't have left her a letter otherwise." Severus nodded, If this worked out they would have one more advantage on the Dark Lord. "When she awakens shall I inform her or you?" Dumbledore stood to leave as he responded "I'm afraid I have things that need to be done in light of this. Thankfully as it's the weekend no one should be noticing her absence to much as the Slytherin dorms are single rooms. Not to mention I believe she is not popular at the moment with her fellow Slytherins do to her current freind choices." Severus nodded before slumping into his chair as Albus left.

Thoughts swirled in his head of all that must be done, he couldn't help but wonder what Dumbledore had meant. As far as he had seen the girl got along with all the Slytherins and was quite popular with them. He began thinking back to classes in which she would not really speak to anyone in her house or meals where they sat just a little bit away from her. So why in the common rooms was she friendly and even tutored the first years but in public standoffish. In fact come to think of it when he went for her in the defence classroom the only three left other than the mangy mutt and her where the potter brat and his lackeys. His thoughts soon swirled to all the work he would have if he had to train the girl. Sitting there he tried to remember everything on the girl he could. She was their team's Keeper, best they had had in years other than the fact that most of the team complained that she wasn't all that enthusiastic about the sport and liked to remind them she was only playing to help Slytherin earn points. She had also insisted on taking each and every elective. The girls schedule was packed completely and in his class at least she got good grades, she had yet to get anything beneath an O in his class, a difficult feat to accomplish He still had the girls school records on him so he pulled them out and began to look them over to see her strengths and weaknesses. To his utter shock there was no indication of what was what as she had an O in every single class and he was even more shocked when he checked her previous years and noticed all of her classes had always had O's. To be honest he had thought the know it all Gryffindor was the top of their class but surprisingly not. He put the girls file back before heading into his room to see if she was sleeping. She seemed to be tossing and turning and so Severus summoned a dreamless sleep and spelled it into the girl's stomach and watched as she stopped her movements. Setting an alarm charm on the bed so that he would know when she awakened he went to his private lab and began brewing to help him regain his composure. His nerves were still a little rattled by the fact the Dark Lord and Bellatrix had had a child together. Not to mention said child said he looked hot when he was upset.

A few hours later Severus was alerted of Celeano waking up when he heard the alarm charm go off in his head, he cast a quick finite as he finished stirring his potion and headed into his own quarters to see that the girl had made his bed and was putting her shoes on that Dumbledore had spelled of when he had originally brought her in sleeping. As soon as her shoes were tied she began standing while twirling in the direction of the door and she nearly jumped a foot in the air when she noticed him standing there. "Merlin, learn to make some noise." She exclaimed and he just smirked slightly before motioning towards the door "Let's go be seated for the coming conversation." She headed out the door and then followed her professor out to a table and took the seat opposite him. Celeano does her best to check out her surroundings through her peripheral vision so that he wouldn't notice her looking. He then started in a drawl "What are you willing to do to see to it that your boggart doesn't become you?" Celeano looked at him with her head slightly tilted to the side in confusion as she sat there. She choose not to answer and he gave her a pointed look before she relented and spoke up. "I believe I have already said I would rather be dead."

Changing the topic Professor Snape asked "Why is it you're friendly with your housemates in the common room yet you act as though you're not one of them in public?" Se looks at him curiously as she responds "I thought you hadn't noticed, I had done my best in your class to not make it as obvious as in the others. Well if you must know it started at the very beginning of this year on the train ride to school. I had decided If I were to spy on the famed Boy who lived and get close to him that my father would be proud, especially if I could hand deliver the boy. But things change, I realised I don't want to be responsible for his death even if I don't like him too much. I had told all the Slytherins I was only being nice to them to spy on them so they all believe it and well they go along with it. With both sides believing my lies of the other I've managed to keep the friendship of both. I doubt either will like me anymore if they find out but not everything's black and white." With a shrug she finishes "What has this got to do with anything. Severus's thoughts swirled around the new information and so he decided to be blunt "I am a spy on the Dark Lord, I'm part of his inner circle as well as a part of a group called the Order of the Phoenix, a group lead by Dumbledore that's sole purpose is the defeat of the Dark Lord. Right now with the Dark Lord's absence I've had years to prepare for his return. When he does I intend to play it off as me playing the role of spy all throughout his absence by staying at my post. The only one who has ever voiced doubts of my loyalty is Bellatrix." Cutting him off Celeano asked "Can we speed this up a little more, I fail to see why you are telling me this." He ignored her interruption and simply continued "This is where you will come in, when he returns you will go to him in Bellatrix's place and introduce yourself to him and gain his trust, through you it will help to keep my cover as well as your own. You would be risking your life to help bring him down. It is your choice but you must answer me now before we discuss it more." Celeano nods with a fire burning in her eyes as she says "Of course, I would do anything to protect my friends, besides I could better protect them in that position."

"As that's out of the way we need to go over your skill sets, It's obvious you can balance separate lives and can pull it off quite well but I've looked at your file and they were no help as to what you excel or struggle in so I will be testing you in all of your subjects as well as in a few extra skills you will need to learn." Celeano nods in understanding as he continues "Since today's Friday I will need you to cancel any of your plans for the weekend and ensure to your friends that you are indeed alright you will also need to collect any work you missed in Professor Flitwick's class, I will expect you in my office immediately after lunch in the great hall tomorrow morning. Understand?" Celeano nods once more before asking "Anything else you would like me to do before then professor?" Grabbing out a piece of parchment and a quill he wrote something out and then folded the parchment in half and handed it to the girl. "Bring that to the headmaster, don't read it." He threatened before sending her off, in all reality the paper simply had a wandless spell placed on it to tell him the identity of who first opened the paper along with a small message to Dumbledore telling him of his plans to test her in all of her subjects. She nodded and took the piece of parchment and swiftly put it in her robes walking out of the room. She made her way to the headmaster's office and once she reached the gargoyle started to list off every type of candy she had ever heard of before finally getting it right with lollypops. She rode the staircase up and just as she reached up to knock the door swung open. "Hello Ms. Black" said the headmaster in a sing song voice. "To what do I owe the pleasure?" She dropped the note on the desk and said "Professor Snape asked me to drop off a letter, I really must be going though." She was curios about what was in the message but she ignored it as she delivered it, she wouldn't do anything to risk getting expelled right now.

Heading out of the headmaster's office she first made the trek to the Gryffindor common room. Lucky for her one of the younger Gryffindors recognized her and let her into the common room, all most all of the Gryffindors liked her as she had once stepped in front of a jelly legs jinx that Draco had thrown at a first year Gryffindor that had insulted him. The Gryffindors normally turned a blind eye to how often they were mean to the Slytherins yet would get in an uproar about one silly hex. Sure he shouldn't have thrown it at a first year but who calls someone else's parents scum that would be better if it was destroyed. She had only stepped in front of the stupid girl because it would gotten Draco in a lot of trouble if it was reported. Sighing as she walks through the door Hermione hugged her briefly before asking "Are you alright?, Professor Lupin made us promise not to tell anyone about what happened after everyone left." Celeano nodded as the two made their way to the table Ron and Harry were waiting at. Making sure no one was listening Celeano started to mutter an explanation to her Gryffindor friends, muttering would cause less attention than a group whispering to each other. "I'm much better now, you must understand that my parents were not the best of people, my boggart was of me being like them and it rattled me. I don't really remember much but anything I said was just me babbling, so don't think too much on it." She then put on one of her most charming smiles "So did you guys enjoy the extra time out of class?" Seemingly reassured Ron is the first to speak as he animatedly talked of how they had spent most of the afternoon flying since, well Hermione had watched while reading but same difference he had said. Staying to chat for a few more minutes she excused herself saying she would be sleeping most of tommorow so they shouldn't worry bout her. Soon she was making her way back to the dungeons and no sooner than she entered the common room Draco pulled her into a hug asking "Are you alright?, I didn't want to leave but I also didn't want to upset you or your cover." Celeano nodded and did her game spiel to Draco to get him to stop worrying before asking "So what did I miss in charms?" She soon learned she had missed out on a pop quiz. Celeano then set up a game of wizard's chess and played with Draco until it was time to be in their dorms.

The next morning Celeano had went up to Professor Flitwick's office during his free period and asked to take the quiz she had missed. He obliged her and after she handed it in to him he spoke "Miss Black your head of house has asked me to test you in charms and give him a gauge of where you are. If you wouldn't mind would you wait a few moments so I may finish grading these papers so I may do that? If you would like while waiting you could grab down any of the books on the bookshelf over there." He said pointing at the wall, little did she know he was curios to see which book she would pick. Celeano smiled a charming smile "Of course I can wait, Thank you for you time and allowing me to read your books." She walked over to the bookshelf and skimmed over the titles recognizing most of the ones on the higher shelves, they must have been arranged by difficulty she mussed. Once she realized that she started to gaze at the books lower down and settled on a really old looking tome half way down the book shelf. She cracked it open and was immediately pleased to see that it was indeed old, the information in it however was a little daunting. She took a seat and began reading. She was fascinated reading about how to cast non-verbal spells and so she set the book down and took out her wand. The book said she had to feel her magic course through her and that doubting herself would cause it to not succeed . She first whispered the spell Wingardium Leviosa getting a feel for what it felt like fresh in her mind before letting it gently fall back onto her lap. She then without a word pointed her wand at the book and watched it shakily float up before falling back into her lap, a few tries later and she had managed to cast it perfectly wandless as well as a perfect lumos. Little did she know professor Flitwick had been observing her the entire time. As he capped off his ink well he began to quiz her slowly working his way up to harder and harder questions and spells. He was pleasantly surprised to find she could cast spells up to halfway through fourth year material and knew the materials theory through the end of fourth year as well as the fact he had seen her succeed, albeit with difficulty at casting some spells wandlessly. After he finished testing her he sent her away as he sent of a scrawled note on his assessment of the girl.

Celeano made her way to lunch and took her normal seat and quickly ate a pear before getting back up to head to the dungeons. She was anxious to get it all done with and out of the way. When she arrived at the dungeons he briskly told her to follow him and to her surprise he led her to the staff room. As they entered he told her to take a seat and that her professors would be taking turns for the rest of the day assessing where she was. The whole day went bye with Celeano answering Question after Question and performing spell after spell just so her Professors could inform her head of house where she was when she could have told him herself if only he had asked. Every subject was about fourth year knowledge, even her electives. In fact the only two classes not tested where Defence against the dark arts and potions. Perhaps he didn't want to ask Professor Lupin to do an assessment? When Professor Snape finally returned he looked even more frustrated as he told her he would be testing her in potions before she headed back to her common room for the night. As Celeano followed behind him she realised with a start that he was frustrated because just like her records he had yet to get any indication of what her strengths and weaknesses are. She debated in her head only showing him a fourth years understanding of potions before dismissing it, she already assumed he would be more Snappish than normal with his sneers and scathing comments and she was not disappointed. They worked their way up from first year potions and towards the end of the fourth year curriculum he was sneering at her and curled his lip before asking in an unfriendly voice "Let me guess, you're around the end of a fourth year level in potions as well." Holding back a smirk and instead putting on a smile so sweet it could give the man diabetes "Professor, With all do respect I think I can pull off the next few potions." He rolled his eyes at her antics and made her brew the next few potions as his irritation with her grew as she seemed to get each one perfectly. Before he knew it they were onto sixth year potions and it was around two in the morning. His irritation however started to dissolve at the fact that this third year was brewing perfect sixth year potions without a care in the world that he was hovering over her as she brewed. Looking at the time he was shocked to see how long it had been and that the girl hasn't complained, at least he had found something she was strong in. He began to question if she was only a fourth year level in her other classes or if she was concealing her weaknesses by staying at the same level across the board. He then thought better of it when he thought back to the assessments her teachers had given that showed she would start getting frustrated when she attempted spells that were to advanced or when she didn't know the answers to the questions. At least she wasn't trying to show off in class like the know-it-all gryffindor. The continued to brew for hours more until they had finished all the potions through seventh year that didn't take long times to simmer or cool, each one to perfection. The girl had looked so at ease working on her potions and he could tell by the look in her eyes that she truly liked potions. She looked up at him as her potion was finished and asked in a quiet voice "Are we going to be brewing more? Or are we stopping now that we've finished the seventh year curriculum?" He looked down at the girl before retorting "Miss Black it is six in the morning and you have yet to go to bed and you are asking if we will be brewing more." She blushed slightly before responding in a voice just barely covering her disappointment "I don't sleep much on a normal basis and I'm not bothered by missing a single night's sleep." She got a smirk on her face as she decided to try and manipulate him into teaching her more advanced potions "However, I suppose I understand if some people are more needing of sleep, you best be off to bed Professor. It would be a shame if you fell asleep over a cauldron." Severus immediately recognized what the girl was trying to do. He however decided to use it to his advantage though "I'm fine Mrs. Black, Have you perhaps heard about the Wolfsbane potion?" Celeano's eyes widened slightly, She had signed up for all the Potions magazines she could and had been reading about it's advancements for the past eight months since it had been released. "Yes sir, It's used to ease the transformations and allow a werewolf to keep their mind when they transform. It's extremely difficult to make and it can't be made in advance. Every Month it would have to be brewed for the recipient." "Very good Miss Black, I recently became taxed with making this potion once a month and you will assist me with it now." Celeano let a genuine smile slip, she didn't think she would get to brew something so advanced but she wasn't going to complain. It did beg the question though, who was the werewolf? Perhaps one of the first years?, no none were consistently missing classes during the full moon, she always kept note of when people were absent from the classes she shared with them, in fact the only person she could think of was Professor Lupin, he did where raggedy clothes. It clicked into place when she remembered her conversation with the man on the train, he had wanted to teach but couldn't, discrimination was very prominent with half breeds and it would make sense. As they finished up the potion letting it simmer for the last few minutes Celeano finally spoke up again. "Would you like me to bring it to Professor Lupin for you?" He got a satisfied smirk at the girl figuring it out, he had promised he wouldn't tell anyone but that didn't mean he couldn't hint at it. He smirked as he told the girl "Yes, and while you're there get your assessment from him then go to bed and meet me after Dinner in my office." Celeano nodded with the now bottled potion in hand.

Making her way out of the dark potions lab she headed towards Professor Lupin office, out of the dim light she can't help but realize she was slightly tired, well best to get her last evaluation done and hand the potion over. She finally made it to his office and knocked ever so lightly. He came to the door a few minutes later and she smiled up at him before saying in a mock whisper "I got you a potion to help you out with that pain once a month." His face paled considerably and he pulled her into his rooms before asking "Did Professor Snape tell you?" She shook her head and laughed "Like the dour man would tell me anything, I gathered it from the helping make the potion and you were the only person I remembered being absent on the full moon so I asked if he wanted me to deliver it to you and he agreed. Oh and I need an assessment of my skills, if you would that is, I'm afraid Professor Snape seems to like avoiding you." Lupin stood staring at the girl before sighing and accepting the potion, resigning himself to the whole school knowing by his next class. "Don't sigh Professor, your secrets safe with me, if you could do me a small favor though?" Lupin weighs it over in his head before asking "What is it you want Miss Black?" "Just for three questions to be answered, they may be a little personal though. They are as follows, What's it like to transform?, Why do you and Professor Snape seem to dislike each other and hmm… let us see" She drawed it out before adding "I've seen you in pictures with my second cousin, Sirius Black, you know the supposed mass murderer, well I want to know what he was like. And with these questions I won't tell a soul of your monthly issue." Celeano hoped she wasn't asking to much, She doesn't plan on telling anyone but some information would be nice. "I'm afraid miss Black that I can not answer all of those." Celeano decided to change tactics and go with honesty to get what she wants. "I don't actually intend on telling anyone, it's just the only way I knew how to ask, If you would I would greatly appreciate at least partial answers, I won't tell anyone anything you tell me." Remus looked at the girl and knowing he probably shouldn't he starts, "The transformation is often painful, the potion helps. Professor Snape and I went to school together and let's just say my friend group didn't like him much and we tended to pick on him. As for your cousin, he was a good kid, or so it seemed." His face drew pained at that and Celeano felt bad for the man.

She then told him why she had came in the first place and they then started going through all the course material for Defense against the dark arts with the questions increasing in difficulty. Remus would have liked to have been shocked by the girl's vast amount of knowledge on the dark arts themselves but he supposed living with the Malfoy's would explain that. Soon she was finally on her way back to her dorms and she taking a look at the time, 3am, she took a quick nap in her bed. When she woke up a few hours later she felt refreshed and headed out . She then went ahead and decided to work on strengthening her Occlumency shields and added layer after layer of fake memories. She figured he would eventually check her on it if she was going to be a double agent and she was not going to have him traipsing through her thoughts, It was already bad enough he had found out she called him hot. Making a mental note she decided to bring up pranking the headmaster to Fred and George. Celeano had skipped breakfast but remembered about lunch when she felt her stomach grumble. Leaving the confines of her room she noticed Draco holding his broom with a grin "After Lunch the teams going flying, make sure to grab your broom. Oh and at the beginning of next summer everyones meeting up at the manor and father's hired us a coach to learn some new maneuvers." Celeano placed an easy going grin on before heading to lunch. She ate quickly and was just on her way outside when she noticed Professor Snape sitting in the stands watching them practice. It wasn't very often he came to watch them practice but when he did the team pulled out all the stops. She was going to be sore later.
