The Consequence Of Power

Her Backstory

Severus left her floating body outside the doors and walked inside to make sure no one was waiting in there, he then brought her body into the Hospital Wing. Severus laid her down on the bed, covering her up with a blanket before cleaning the blood off her face and head. He sat down right next to her bedside, following the task he was given by Dumbledore, to watch over the girl until she awakened. He sat there wondering how could someone so young hold so much power, he had never seen someone fight off such a strong thing and survive."Professor, my father wants to speak to you" Severus jolted from being startled, he stood up and turned around and saw Draco standing by the door of the Hospital Wing "Malfoy, you see I'm busy"
"My father said he needed to see you, he said it's about what happened tonight" He walked over to Draco, flipping his robe behind him "Let me guess...you couldn't keep your mouth closed, and had to run to tell your...father, I need you to stay here in case she wakes up, Don't leave until I get back"

Draco felt a sense of annoyance. As he walked over to her bedside, looking down at her with his hands in my pockets, he had no clue what to do. He just looked down at her and tilted his head, raising his eyebrow. She looked so innocent, she couldn't be a traitor with that face, her cheeks were rosey, her head was slightly turned to the side. Draco's eyes roamed down to her chest, watching it rise and drop with each breath, he was mesmerized with the rhythm of her breathing. Rhiannon had hair covering her face, he took his hand out of his pocket and moved the hair out of her face, he felt his heart starting to race, as he stared at her, his finger grazed over her cheek, noticing her features, her skin was cold and pale but soft, and her hair felt like silk. He had a feeling inside that he had never felt, it awoken something, he felt human again. Quickly he moved his hand away and sat down in the chair next to her, staring at her again, rubbing his lips with the tips of his fingers, wondering what happened to her. Draco never wanted to be gentle with anyone because he didn't know how to be gentle, be was raised to be tough and show no emotion, a robot if you will. His eyes became heavy, it was a struggle to keep them open, he started to fall asleep because he had been up all night thinking about how she screamed and how in pain she must have felt. Finally he went to sleep, forgetting, let alone not caring he was supposed to watch her in case she woke up.

Rhiannon opened her eyes and her entire body felt hot to the touch. She looked over, her eyes started to focus and saw that blonde Slytherin boy, still not knowing his name. Why was he next to her she thought?, let alone here? All she cared about right now was using the lavatory. She felt like throwing up her guts. She stood up, feeling so weak and tired like all the energy had been sucked from her. She looked over at him, studying him, his hair was something she had never seen before, it was so blonde it could be silver. She stumbled away from the bed to the lavatory, trying to keep herself up by grabbing onto the walls. She got inside the lavatory and dropped down in front of the toilet and threw up, her throat was on fire, and she didn't know why, she couldn't remember a thing. After some time, Severus walked back into the Hospital Wing from talking to Draco's father, all his father wanted to know was why this girl is causing so much chaos already. Draco's father knew about Rhiannon and her powers, he knew where she came from, he also knew what was to come from her being at Hogwarts. Severus approached the bed she was in, she was gone, Draco was asleep, of course he was not following the instructions he was given.

"Draco wake up!" Severus slapped him on the back of my head "Where is she...Draco, were you even paying attention to her?"
"Professor, what are you expecting from me? I've been up all night because of this stupid girl! She shouldn't even be here if she is causing so much trouble" Draco stormed out of the Hospital Wing. Severus heard gagging coming from the lavatory.

Rhiannon puked one more time, she was laid on the side of the toilet, drool strung from her lips and there was blood mixed within her vomit, the sight was gory. The pain in her throat was too much to handle, tears leaked and dripped into the toilet. She got the strength and stood up, wiping her mouth. She walked out of the stall and stumbled to the sink, drinking some water from the tap, she started to gag and cough up more blood into the sink, confusion is all she felt, wanting to know what was happening to her, something like this had never happened. She was terrified of maybe she was dying or had some sort of sickness. Severus stormed into the lavatory "What's going on" She was still coughing up blood, he walked closer to her, looking into the sink "Come back and lay down, and I'll explain everything" Severus helped Rhiannon to the bed "Who are you?" She looked up at him, drool dripping down her chin, her vision a blur "I am Severus Snape, a professor here" His voice made her blood freeze "Oh, wait you were the man in the Great Hall. What happened to me? and who was that boy in the chair?" She wiped her mouth with her arm "I asked him to stay here as I went to go deal with something, but he fell asleep and completely ignored orders"
"Oh, What is his name?" She looked down
"Draco Malfoy, one of the most spoiled students, I would suggest you stay away from him...and his father, you do not want to encounter him, please stay away from him" Severus picked up a cup "Drink this" She grabbed it "What is in this, it stinks" She scrunched her nose from the horrid smell "It will help the throat" She took a deep breath "Can I know what is going on now?" She struggled to take a sip "Well, what would you like to know first?"
"Everything, why Im here in this school, why I'm coughing up blood, why I'm in this room and why I'm being called a witch," She sipped the tea again, feeling a cooling sensation, the pain slowly going away "Rhiannon, what you are being told is true, you are a witch and the most powerful we have encountered"
"How so?" She rested her cup on her lap
"Have you ever done things others can't? like make something move without touching it, light a candle without a match? anything odd like that?"  She looked up and paused
"It's hard to remember, but yes I have, I suppose but I didn't think anything of it"
"Tell me what you remember," Severus sat back in the chair "I remember this one time I was sitting on my bed, this was about three years ago, I was sitting there and I was very stressed that day and so I did some meditation and I felt myself levitating off the bed, I opened my eyes and I was so freaked out I landed back on the bed and left my room, I didn't tell anyone, I thought maybe my room was haunted or something" She giggled and took another sip "Are there any other things you did without control?"
"This one I'm not very proud of or happy with, I keep this deep down in my memories. When I was little, I was arguing with a kid at the park and it was just me and him, he took one of my toys and I wasn't very happy so I started to scream and cry as any kid would, I felt so angry like the emotions I was feeling seemed too much for a kid my age" She took a deep breath before continuing her story "Out of nowhere I stood up and raised my hand towards him and lifted him in the air and threw him into the play structure, then I snapped out of it and ran home, I was too scared to say anything to my parents, I have no clue if I killed him or not, after that happened I never left my house to save others from me" She started to cry and worry that she was a criminal for almost or killing a child, she never wanted to be a violent person, she always saw herself as a caring person, just when she got angry there was something that went off and she would lash out. "Am I a monster?" She asked Severus, feeling terrible for what she just told him, waiting for the handcuffs at any second "No Rhiannon, you are not a monster, you are a very emotional young witch who doesn't know how to use her powers and abilities, that is normal, and I will do my best to teach you how to use them"
"Professor, what happened tonight, why am I in here? Please don't tell me I hurt someone again" She wiped her eyes "No, you didn't hurt anyone, you were in an incident, something took control of you, some sort of ball of light, do you remember anything?"
"Well, I remember walking into the Great Hall and seeing this light and it kept saying my name and I just felt the urge to touch it, something deep down told me not to but I didn't listen. Then the most excruciating pain then it went all black and that's all I remember"
"That is correct I was there when it happened, I have never seen such strength in anyone, well...never mind. In the past have you ever felt electricity in your body? Like lightning?"
"What do you mean?" She gave a confused look
"Have you ever had to fight something or you got so angry and emotional that your veins glowed like lighting?"
"I don't think so....actually yes, one time I was sleeping and woke up for some reason and my hands felt like they were on fire and I looked down and they were glowing white and my arms looked like lighting so I ran to the bathroom and went into the shower and It helped"  She took a sip "Interesting, what do you feel emotionally when this happens?" 
"Scared, confused, but also powerful like I could destroy things, but I don't want to"
"That's a possibility" Severus whispered
"I know this is unrelated but do you know where my parents are?" Severus stood up
"I think we should take you to Dumbledore now"
"Severus, where are my parents?"
"I have no idea"
"You're lying, I can tell" She stood up and stepped closer "Rhiannon, It's best we figure out what almost killed you" Severus grabbed her arm and took her to Dumbledore's office.
