"Where are Harry and Ron?" Vaera pondered. "I thought they were going to walk down with us."

"Boys," Hermione offered with a shrug.

"You have any brothers?" Vaera questioned.

"No, I'm an only child." Hermione corrected.

"I have a sister, Davina, but I have a lot of cousins, I think we have potions with Slytherin's." Vaera remarked. "I looked at Davina's schedule and defense against the dark arts. Maybe more, I know Dav is most excited for them. All my cousins are in Slytherin except for Helaena, she's a second year. She is in hufflepuff."

"So you are like a Hogwarts legacy then?"

"Oh no, actually none of our parents are witches or wizards, well I dont know who my mum is but they are all muggles."

"Really?" Hermione declared happily. "You are like me then." Her smile faltered. "You said your dad was a prince though... right?"

"Yeah, I'm technically a princess but shh, princess doesn't mean anything here anyways." Vaera realized.

"Whew, we made it. Can you imagine the look on McGonagall's face if we were late?" Ron questioned as him and harry took their seats for transfiguration. The tabby cat jumps off the desk and transforms into Professor McGonagall. The two boys are amazed, wide eyed and horrified.

"That was bloody brilliant." Ron declared. Harry was nervous for being caught though.

"Thank you for that assessment, Mr. Weasley. Perhaps if I were to transfigure Mr. Potter and yourself into a pocket watch, that way one of you might be on time." McGonagall pondered.

"We got lost." Harry remarked.

" Then perhaps a map? I trust you don't need one to find your seats."

"Yeah, I spoke with him again last night, he is nice." Davina remarked. "He's friends with my dad."

"Davina!" Vaera declared running to her and plopping down beside them. Identical expect for their robes. "Have you had transfiguration yet? The professor transformed from a cat to a person, you would have loved it."

"No, I have it next." Davina remarked.

"Give me your schedule, I want to see what other classes we have together!" Davina pulled it out and handed it over.

"Herbology!" Vaera declared.

"I dont have a green thumb I will be cheating off you." Davina warned her.

"And you like history like Uncle Viserys, you will do good in history of magic."

"A ghost is the teacher." Draco cut in.

"Nearly headless nick?" Davina questioned.

"You met him too?" Vaera questioned. "Hi, I'm Vaera." she reached back extending a hand to Draco.

"Twins, glorious twins." Draco shook Vaera's hand.

"Dont be creepy Malfoy." Davina instructed.

"Malfoy, oh the hair, I see it now. Do you have any targaryen in your bloodline?" Vaera pondered.

"I'm a pureblood." Draco corrected.

"And I'm a princess, that wasnt my question." Vaera reminded him. The students were chattering, sitting near steaming cauldrons waiting for potions class to begin when the door slams open and Severus came rushing in. Vaera spun back around.

"He looks so official." Vaera whispered. They had only seen him in more casual attire when he visited their father and them over the summer.

"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 science and exact art that is potion making. However, for those select few..." Severus remarked looking at Draco and Davina,  they smiled in return. Severus gaze shifted to Vaera, she had the biggest smile. She gave him a little wave. "-who possess the predisposition, I can teach you how to bewitch the mind and ensnare the senses." Draco looked to Davina as she leaned in. Bewitch the mind that sounded like fun.

"I can tell you how to bottle fame, brew glory and even put a stopper..." Draco smirked "in death." Draco rose his eyebrows amazed. Vaera rose her hand. Severus gave a small shake of his head. Vaeras hand went back to her lap silently. Snape saw Harry, writing what Snape said in his lecture down, but Severus thought he wasnt paying attention. "Then again, maybe some of you have come to Hogwarts in possession of abilities so formidable that you feel confidant enough to not...pay...attention." Severus went on moving towards Harry, Hermione nudged Harry, finally making him look up to the Professor Snape. Davina turned around in her chair looking at Harry.

"Gryffindors getting in trouble. Who would have guessed?!" Davina teased softly.

"Mr. Potter. Our... new... celebrity." Severus drawled out. "Tell me, what would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?" Severus questioned. Hermione rose her hand. Harry shrugged.

"I know." Davina whispered to vaera.

"You don't know? Well, let's try again. Where, Mr. Potter, would you look if I asked you to find me a bezoar?" Hermione's hand shot up again eagerly.

"I don't know, sir." Harry admitted.

"And what is the difference between monkshood and wolfbane?" Severus pondered.

"I don't know, sir." Harry whispered as Hermione was practically jumping out of her seat.

"Pity. Clearly, fame isn't everything..." Severus offered, Draco smirked, that's karma for you potter. "is it, Mr. Potter?"

" Clearly, Hermione knows. Since it's a pity not to ask her." Harry countered. Hermione looked a bit surprised as everyone laughed. Her hand stayed in the air though. Vaera looked curiously around.

" Silence." Severus demanded. Severus turned to Harry, looking a bit insulted, Harry gulped. Severus then walked over to his desk. To Hermione, who had still had her hand up. "And put her hand down, you silly girl." Severus instructed and Hermione's hand slowly lowered. "For your information, Potter..." severus looked to Davina. "Impress me Targaryen."

"Gladly." Davina agreed. "asphodel and wormwood make a sleeping potion so powerful, it is known as the Draught of Living Death. A bezoar is a stone taken from the stomach of a goat and it will save you from most poisons. As for monkshood and wolfsbane, they are the same plant, which also goes by the name of aconite." Davina remarked and the room was silent.

"Excellent!" Severus agreed. "Well?" Severus questioned the rest of the students. "Why aren't you all copying this down?" Quickly they all got their quilled out writing down what he said. Severus returned to his desk, and dips his quill into some ink. "And Gryffindors, note that five points, will be taken from your house... for your classmate's cheek. Slytherin however will be given ten points for Ms Davinas knowledge." The slytherins hooted out.

"Good job Davi." Vaera declared. "That was awesome."

"Well done Ms Davina."
