The next morning you sat at the end of Hufflepuff's table and was handed your new schedule. The first thing you noticed was zero free periods...What did you suspect you got outstanding on all your owls and you don't have the heart to drop any of these classes. Double Potions with Slughorn, care for magical creatures, and to end the day with defense against the dark arts. You shrugged then shoved a piece of toast into your mouth before heading down to the dungeons.

"Miss Druid welcome," Professor Slughorn opened the door and you were the first one considering you were early. "Let me just say hearing you got an outstanding in potions really made me proud. I knew you had it in you." You became uncomfortable but nodded and smiled at him as you sat at a table. Right as your sight went to your bag you looked up as Evans, Lupin and Snape came in. It seemed they were arguing or something.

"Ah Evans welcome back, you too Lupin. Ah Snape I can't wait to see what you brew today." Slughorn began conversation with the Gryffindor's as Severus sat next to you.

"Severus, what did your conversation consist of. You know with those two." You nodded over to the Gryffindor's. Severus slowly shook his head no as he brought out his text book.

"Nothing of your concern Y/n...honestly just stay away from them. They give me a weird vibe."

You completely turned to him and sighed, "I suppose you don't know why I'm missing many memories. Stuff isn't fitting together..."

He moved slightly in his seat as if nervous, "Weird...hit your head? Or did you lose them when you got rid of that dark mark."

You slowly nodded up and down, "Right...forgot that could have side effects. Maybe if I just talk to Lupin every so often they'll come back." You started to stand but Severus pulled you down.

"...No. The pain him and his friends caused you...you don't need to relive it Y/n." You were about to argue but class then began.

"You see this Memory Potion, flip to the right page and recreate it." Everyone dragged their caldrons to their stations and began.

An hour or so passed and Snape had already finished. "Sev, it says it should take over 2 hours...how did you manage that?"

He shrugged and shut his book, "I made a few adjustments...need any help?" You finished stirring and slumped into your seat.

"Nope, I'm done..." A light bulb went off in your head and with a bright smile you looked at Severus. "I should drink the potion!"

"No y/n..."

"Yes Y/n! Sev I can enhance my memory."

"Look if you were obliterated the potion wouldn't take effect so it wouldn't work for you." You slumped back again but popped back up staring at Snape harshly.

"If my dark mark took my memory then it wouldn't be obliteration...you are hiding something!" He opened his book ignoring you, "Severus what has gotten into you. I thought we told each other everything."

Still looking at his book he snapped a bit, "You hiding you were basically a death eater or that you have a crush on me had nothing to do with that. Honestly we have never told each other everything." You put your head against the table and ran out of the classroom as soon as the bell rang.

You were finally at your last class and immediately stopped at a corner away from the Defense against the dark arts classroom. One side of the hall was Severus, Lucius, and Narcissa. The other side had Potter, Black, Lupin, Pettigrew, and Evans.

"Whatever you did to them, Snivilus, it needs to be undone! Don't make me jinx it out of you!" Potter pulled out his wand.

"I did nothing Potter, put that wand away before you hurt yourself." Black then pulled out his wand after Severus finished that sentence.
