     I was working in my potion lab when the door opened behind me. I figured Snape would visit with the professors we pranked, but I wasn't expecting the twins and Slytherin gang to be here too.

     Before Snape could say anything, I grabbed the reversal potion and handed it to him. Achys wanted me to make them wait for me to make it, but I didn't feel like it.

     Achys started talking to me after the prank because she's trying to be hopeful that Draco would accept me as his mate, but I don't see that happening. I prefer to be realistic and not optimistic.

     They each took the potion and after a few second their hair became normal and they got their faces back.

     "So you made the potion?" Potter questioned.

     I nodded yes.

     "I didn't think you would be into pranks," Lupin said.

     I just smirked before handing Snape my notebook knowing he would want to see what new potions I've made.

     "You've made all of the potions in that book?" Lily said.

     I nodded again.

     They hung out a little more before going back to whatever work they have, leaving me with the twins and Slytherin gang. Snape also took my book because he wanted to check out the rest of my potions.

     "So you're the one who let them into our room," Blaise said.

     I nodded.

     "I would've never expected you," Draco said.

     "I would've never expected Tom to play a prank either," Theo said.

     I've been practicing speaking since my parents aren't waiting to beat me, but I don't think I'll be ready to talk to these people anytime soon.

     I was going to write something when an owl came in. He landed on my shoulder and dropped the letter into my hand. Leaning on my desk, I read the letter then wrote, 'I've got to go, leave or don't break anything.'

     Then walked out of the room and went to Dumbledore's office. Walking in there, I saw some Aurors and Professor Snape in the office. Dumbledore is behind his desk, as always.

     "Hello again. I just have a few quick questions for you. Is that alright?" William Atkinson, the same one from last time, asked.

     Nodding, I follow him to a secluded part of the office with one other Auror. They had a sorrowful look on their faces, but they were also hesitant about something.

     "They're going to ask the big question."

     Shush.

     "Eleanor, We've found some evidence that things might not have been so good for you, and we just wanted to clarify some things. Is that alright?" Atkinson asked.

     I nodded.

     "Alright, did they treat you right at home?"

     I shook my head no.

     "Alright, how can you tell us how they treated you?"

     I grabbed my notebook and started writing. I wrote about how they would experiment on me, whip me, punch me, and a lot of other things. I hesitated to write the last thing, but Achys' encouragement helped me write the last thing. About all the things they made me do or had other people do to me sexually.

     When I was finished, we went back out and left after informing me that my statement would be enough evidence.

     "Alright, now Eleanor, you don't have any other family members, so you have two options, go into foster care or Professor Snape has offered to look after you. Which would you like?" Dumbledore said.

     I know I will hate foster care, so I pointed at Snape. He seemed happy about that and said, "When it gets closer to that time, I will tell you more if that's alright?"

     I nodded, then was dismissed.
