The next months went by very quickly for Belinda. She surprisingly enjoyed school and all her classes. She and that Granger girl were basically competing for top of their classes.

Snape kept a close watch on Belinda. Something about her kept him on edge. He wanted to be prepared if and when she snapped like her mother. Still, he treated her with much more respect than other students even when she did make a mistake.

It was Halloween and Belinda was handing out mini treat baskets to all her professors and close friends. It was after classes and she had about an hour before dinner.

"Very kind of you Miss Lestrange." McGonagall smiled.

"Oh! What's this? For me?" Professor Flitwick squealed excitedly.

"You never fail to amaze Ms Lestrange." Madam Hooch said. "Speaking of your talents..... would you consider joining your Quidditch team? You'd make a fair beater."

She had one more teacher to go as she nervously made her way to Snape's classroom door. He was nice to her, but it doesn't mean his harsh tone didn't scare her. She knocked.

"Name and business." He sounded annoyed and she flinched.

"Belinda Lestrange sir. I was hoping to give you something but if you're busy I can leave it outside the-"

She jumped when he swung the door open.

"What could a Slytherin like yourself possibly need to give your potions Professor?"

"This." She said raising her arms with the gift basket.

(Obv it's supposed to be wizard candy lol!)

Snape kept his cold glare but was internally screaming. He wanted to be annoyed because he hated her mother, but the child never did anything to him.

"You already have an A in my class there's no need for flattering Belinda."

"I'm giving one to every one of my teachers. Here."

He took the cauldron from her.

"I wasn't sure what kinds of candies were your favorite. But I put a variety for you to choose from." She said chewing her lip nervously. She was caught off guard when he put his large hand on her head and ruffled her hair. He smirked at her slightly annoyed huff. She hated when someone messed with her hair, and it was as if he knew that.

"I appreciate it." He said and her eyes lit up as she nodded, turning away. Belinda had one more cauldron to give. She skipped all the way to the Gryffindor dorms.

"You. Should not be here child." The fat lady said.

"Is Neville Longbottom in there?"

"Get back to your dorms."

"It was a yes or no question." Belinda said growing annoyed. "Can you just send him out here? I have no intention of going in there."

The fat lady sighed and it was silent for a moment. Then Neville opened the portrait from the other side.
