Taerel got up and headed towards the Slytherin table there was a space opposite Draco of all people and he sat down and gave a slight smile

"What do you want?" he asked

"Just for you to leave the poor elf alone his magic is weak due to your family's abuse of him he was a very passionate elf when he was younger and what your family have been doing to him is just wrong you have harmed him far to many times and with this..." he clicked his fingers "...the elf that you call Dobby is free and tied to me and my own as a High Elf I can do this your family will not be allowed an elf again unless you change your ways my elf will train him back up and he will be back to normal, I do hope he will be that is"

He then got up and walked out of the hall he needed to be alone for a while but he didn't want to go back to his room he needed to go else where and so he walked right out of Hogwarts and towards the Black Lake where the squids tentacles broke the surface he stared at it for a while slipping his boots off and standing in the water, it felt relaxing to be honest but he couldn't relax he wanted to go home he had been here now too long he was missing all of his lessons and his friends

Yes he had friends but there weren't that many perhaps 2/3 from each clan that he called true friends but that was about it, could he count the little Seer girl and Charity as friends? he definitely weren't counting the three that followed him everywhere like now....

He could sense them behind the tree sighing he got out of the water and put his boots back on before heading back towards the castle he knew that they were following him, he turned
and headed towards the dungeons

"Harry my love wait for me!" said Ginny but he just ignored him if they couldn't get his name
right then it was pointless

"Yeah Harry why don't we go to the common room and play a game of chess just me and you?" asked Ron to him but again he was ignored

"You shouldn't be so rude we are tring to make friends with you why do you have to be so difficult?!" huffed Hermione to Taerel

This made him stop mid step and turned to them his eyes glowed slightly in the light "difficult you have not once called me by my name..."

"Yes we have your name is Harry James Potter, none of this strange name thing" said Ron smiling thinking he had one up Taerel

"Oh no you have not my name is Taerel Alaion Heikrana, I may of been called that at one time but since I have not been in this Realm since I was but a child I have no ties to that name anymore, my grandfather knows this and my family have respected me for my choice, learn my name, be polite to me and my kind, stop trying to free them they will die but you do not know that, you do not wish to listen and learn" he turned around Crackle in his hair shook his fur producing electricity and Sheen hissed at them

He left them just standing there for the time being meaning that he had enough time to get away and into the Slytherin dorm like Hogwarts had said that the person he was looking for would be there

When he entered the dorm every Slytherin was looking at him he just turned and headed for the door that would lead him to Severus, he knocked on the door and waited

"How did he know Professor Snape's office door was there?" asked Theo as he looked up from his book

"No clue there Theo" said Blaise as he pushed over his potion's homework to Draco to have him look over it all

The door opened and Taerel went inside the room

"And what pray tell can I do for the Boy Wonder?" sneered Severus as he looked up from his marking

"Nothing sir but the castle sent me this way to get away from the three that follow me around like puppies"

"Can't handle your fame?"

"What fame, I was brought here against my will and until this tournament is over I am stuck here, I would rather kiss the backside of a Crackenylls thank you very much than deal with them, and those are fast and are capable of magic and electricity very dangerous in so many ways" he sat down in front of him

"Would you like some help?"

"Why would I want help from a child? I'm perfectly able to do this myself" Severus was shocked why would a 14 year old in his eyes want to help mark students class work he would never know

"I'll have you know by the time I was in your age frame, 10, I had completed all of my potions lessons and what you are teaching is what I learnt and completed by then"

"Prove it, what are the ingredients to the potions Veritaserum?" not even his 7th years knew about it yet so this would be a test for him, once the 'boy' got it wrong he would throw him out of his office as fast as he could say Quidditch that is

"Hah that is an easy one I can also tell you that veritas means truth in Latin and serum means liquid, it is used to force people to the truth of any questions asked its colourless and odourless, it takes one complete lunar phase which is about 28 days and in your Realm it is classed as an advanced potion and anyone with a Masters are allowed to make this very potion, it is also strictly controlled by your government your very own Ministry of Magic"

He then listed off the ingredients for the potion as well as a step by step guide on how to make it impressing Severus with his knowledge and even more surprising he had given tips on how to even improve the recipe which he had been trying to do

"Well now thank you for that Taerel... can I call you that?" he asked the 'boy' in front of him

"Yes you can if I can call you by your first name as well I find that we work very well together" this made the potion master blush slightly as he hadn't been around some in so long that had a passion for potions like he did and it turned out that Lilly's own son, the golden boy was just like her mind you he could hardly see James in him at all he could see Lilly but only in the eyes, the same colour and shape how he missed her

"I knew your mother when we were children" he said offhandedly to Taerel who was somehow drinking tea in his office when he knew he didn't have any around him

"As a High Elf the elves they obey me but they can not leave sadly as they were a gift from Helga Hufflepuff it seems, you can thank Barnaby for that bit of information, I did not know that either until now, I can free the ones that do not belong here like the blond boy in your house I took away his elf Dobby"

"You took Malfoy's house elf?!" Severu was shocked by this

"Why yes they were abusing him and so I took it upon myself to get him out of that dreadful household, Barnaby my elf will look after him as well, I knew Dobby when he was a child and now he looks nothing like he used to sadly"

"Well you are full of surprises"

"I do aim to please"
