Maya was late.
She had woken up at eight thirty and she only had twenty minutes to get ready and leave for her first class which was potions with gryffindors,
Maya ran around her dorm dressing up and casted a spell to do her hair , her dorm mates had not woke her up and obviously they didn't care if she was late or not they were untrustworthy and so Slytherin they never got along any way.
Maya took her bag and left speed walking to the class and it seems that even Enoch left and didn't wait for her because she was too late , she didn't want to imagine snape wrath and it made her let out a groan.
On her way ghosts greeted her and she greeted them back hurriedly and one of them told her to not fall , it's like she was a manic walking so fast and looking terrified.
She didn't even eat breakfast so this isn't helping she didn't have anything but coffee for two days now and she felt her stomach twisting uncomfortably.
Luckily she arrived at the class before snape did , she went and took her seat beside Rory "you look awful"Rory said with a teasing smile.
"T-thanks Rory it seems that you haven't tried being late to snape class"maya let out she was breathing heavily and trying to catch her breath with her hands on her knees, Rory laughed obviously having fun teasing her, Maya glanced around and she saw elodie but she didn't even turn to acknowledged her or Rory Maya thought that she didn't saw them yet,
Rory stopped laughing wide eyed when snape entered the class the door closing behind him loudly and his robes flying behind him as he walked to the front of the class,
Maya fixed her posture her heart still beating fast from her morning run.
"Open page 352"snape low almost bored voice he had a natural scowl on his face.
Maya took her book from her bag and opened it to the page, Maya frowned and she felt her heart falling to her stomach immediately ,with big letters the writing on the page said 'Wolfsbane Potion'.
Maya let out a shaky breath as she held the book Rory gave her a side glance he wanted to check on her but snape was staring at their way burning deep holes in Maya head.
Now Rory is scared a lot from snape so no way will he move not even a centimeter,
"Now I expect you and your partner to brew the wolfsbane potion I want it perfect- Rory Williams pay attention"snape said staring at Rory who looked like he has seen a ghost , if Maya was alright right now she would have broken down laughing but now she just want to get out of here.
"But..before that...answer me what is the wolfsbane potion?"snape muttered slowly his eyes gazing around the students faces.
"Miss van doren?"snape spoke not looking at Maya , Maya breath caught in her throat and her eyes widened a bit she could hear her blood rushing through her body.
"Miss van doren?"snape repeated slowly again and this time he looked at her deep in the eyes.
Maya took a deep breath "T-the wolfsbane potion is an innovative and complex potion that relieves but...does not cure"Maya said only mumbling the last part somberly.
"Correct..five points for slytherin"snape said before continuing to explain , it's not like Maya is uncomfortable with the chapter it self it's the way that snape was looking at her the whole lesson it's like he knew , the whole class had failed brewing the potion anyways because it's very complex and they are just fifth year students.
The lesson ended and the students started leaving the class, Maya and Rory packed their stuff and as they wanted to walk out snape voice stopped them "miss van doren stay for a while there is some important matters that I shall discuss with you"he said glancing at Rory with a hard look that said shoo away.
Rory gave Maya a comforting smile "I will see you at dinner"he said and walked away, Maya hands trembled when she turned around to face snape.
She felt unwell she isn't ready for a professor to know her dark secret to know that she is a dangerous freak.
"Yes professor snape?"Maya said her left hand clutching her skirt but her face void of emotions hiding her scared emotions.
"Sit"he said bluntly his face pulled in a near sneer he waved his wand and the door closed and it was just him and Maya in his class.
"As the head of the Slytherin house it's my responsibility to make sure that all my students are safe"he started walking back and forth it only made Maya more nervous.
"What I'm implying is that...are you perhaps in some kind of trouble?"he asked stopping in the middle of his walk and stared at her deep in the eyes.
Maya felt scared he was looking so deep in her eyes she thought that he maybe will use legilimency on her and it's just sounded like a nightmare she can't have him enter her chaotic mind and more importantly she didn't want him to know that she is a werewolf.
When Maya felt him enter her mind she hurriedly used occlumency blocking him , snape frown deepened and he was fuming.
"Occlumency? How can you know occlumency?"snape said very calmly that it's scary more than anything,he was getting closer to her and Maya took a step back she felt her heart beating frantically in her ears and her body cold as ice.
"I-I my father taught me"Maya finally let out and bite her lip she was very nervous and felt like throwing up she can't let him know her secret.
"Leave,"he said monotonously his face hard and void of emotion, Maya turned and left as fast she can her steps loud as she made her way to her other class which was charms.
She knows that this is not the end he just figured that she knows occlumency and he won't stop until he knows it all and that made Maya gulp the hard lump in her throat.
The walk to the charm class was long it wasn't long in reality but Maya was thinking a lot and was anxious she had this class with ravenclaw which means that Warren will be there and he will sense that something is wrong with her and he will ask but Maya wasn't in the mood for questioning even tho she loved Warren she hated when he plays detective,
She thought about skipping class but she wasn't ready to have a howler at six in the morning waiting for her in the slytherin table in breakfast from her mother.
