Chapter 2

Emilia's POV:

After transfiguration was potions. I was sat alone when professor Snape barged in.

"There will be no foolish wand waving or silly incantations in this class. As such I don't expect many of you to appreciate the subtle sience of exact art that is potion making. However for those select few, who possess the predisposition.
I can teach you how to bewitch the mind and insnare the sences; I can tell you how to bottle fame, brew glory and even put a stopper in death." He drawled.

" Potter tell me what would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood." He questioned coming closer.

" A sleeping potion, so powerful that its known as the Draught of Living Death." I had read a part of the potions book this morning so I wasn't clueless.

"Very good, now where would you look if I asked you to find me a bezoar stone." He asked.

"Um, either in a potions cupboard or a stomach of a... Goat?" I didn't know that one. Though I knew it had to be a potion ingredient, back in the muggle world I read some medical forms, some including bezoar. I also remember Xavier telling me something about a bezoar and goats.

" Correct again miss Potter. How about  this, what is the difference between monkswood and woldfsbane."

"Trick question it's the same plant." I replied.

After class I waited till everyone was gone before I went to professor Snapes desk.

"Excuse me professor." He looked up from his work to look at me.

"What is it Potter." He drawled.

"I-I was wondering if you knew my mother?" I questioned him not missing the shock flash in his eyes.

"How have you come to ask this question?" He asked.

"Well I know someone that told me that you were in the same year and-um- that doesn't matter." I explained, leaving out the ashpodel.

"Yes it is true I knew your mother." He answered putting down his quill.

"uh- Professor if it's not to much trouble could you tell me about her?" Once again I saw shock take him over. I furrowed my brows when he seemed to go into a daze.

"You don't know about your parents?" He asked.

"Well no my aunt doesn't really like talking about them." I sighed.

"Wait? Aunt? As in Petunia?" He asked looking at me as if I had a second head.

"Yes. And uncle Vernon." I replied in a whisper kinda getting scared from the angry look in his eyes. I took a step back but Snape noticed this and looked even angrier before calming down.

"Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you." Snape said back to the stoic look.

"No its okay." I said looking at him hesitantly.

"Your mother and I were friends back in school. She told me about her sister, I myself have met Petunia before. Lily told me that she would never make Petunia her childs guardian. Not to mention that magical children may not be placed in a muggle home." Snape explains.

" Wait so why am I with them then?" I questioned.

" That I do not know but for now head to lunch. We will speak leter." Snape suggested.

" Thank you Professor." I called as I walked down the hall.
