Lorelei Lestrange had been absolutely flourishing in being deemed a Slytherin, course it had a lot to do with her parents and their reigning status over the pureblooded kingdom. Both she and Rosa were a rather deadly pair, and she realized the standards of being a Ravenclaw were far too stressful to take into consideration.

"Did your mum send cookies?" Lori asked, taking a peek to see what Rosa had got as a package and she earned herself a fitful nod. "Yes, but papa's peeved over the ministry too. They're being difficult," Lori nodded along, McNair had taken a position at R.L Attorneys and it allowed their fathers to work together.

Course, there seemed to be a new case every day, not to mention it meant they could see each other frequently throughout the summer months.

In spite of having a free period, she had been called by her head of house—And while she thought it wasn't that big of an issue, seeing the room completely empty with only the professor was starting to make her nervous.

Rosa gave her a small smile of encouragement before booking it to their dorm room, no blame at all—Lori wanted to do the same. "You called for me, professor?"

Of course Severus knew that the young Slytherin had entered his classroom, and yet he finished scribbling his sentence before giving her his attention. "How have your studies been going in your other subjects, Ms.Lestrange?" He questioned, and Lori did a mental recap.

"A-alright...I suppose."
"Just alright?" He questioned and she bit her lip, so he sighed and held up her recently submitted assignment. "Let me rephrase myself, how do you think you're doing in potions?" That instantly made her grim as there had nearly been a 'T' on her parchment before he crossed it out.

"I understand that you're coming from the American system of equation, but that hadn't been an issue for the rest of your siblings."
"Course, they're brilliant and I got the short end of the—"
"Ms.Lestrange." He sighed once more and placed the parchment for her viewing and marked the beginning portions.

"You explain everything with ease, you've done the research. All you must do is refrain from using any of that American nonsense that you've been taught." Well, it wasn't as easy as she would've liked to admit, and as the frown appeared onto her face, Severus understood the difference.

"Whether or not you were born in this country or theirs, this cannot go on much longer. We're at the end of October."
"You wouldn't happen to know how Romulus or Cara do it, would you?" He shook his head slowly and Lori sighed as she gripped the paper once more.

"You didn't tell my mother or father yet, have you?"
"Not yet, but if this continues to persist—I cannot allow Mistress Lestrange's daughter to receive a Troll, I simply couldn't do it." She offered a kind smile and nodded. "I'll work on it, I promise."

"No. You will ask your brother or sister for aid, otherwise I'll be forced to appoint them as your tutor."
"But they'll tell mum!" She shouted back, her small fists curling as she fought back the tears, mum was already distant with her letters ever since she had been placed into Slytherin, this would just be the last bit of hope she had left!

While not completely true, it was hard to compete with Rabastan's shower of approval when Aurora hadn't even done that with her own flock of birds.

"You will redo the assignment and write an extra excerpt explaining what you did wrong, I am not here to punish you, Ms.Lestrange. But if you cannot start here, it will only get harder." He wasn't here to be the enemy, and Lori knew it. But asking any of her siblings was basically the same as committing a sin in their eyes, and thus she hurried to her dorm—Thankful that it was empty.
