Eleanore Fox joined Hogwarts half way through the Marauders 6th year and instantly turned Sirius's World upside down.
From the moment he saw her he just found her PLAIN ODD- an enigma he couldn't solve. Nothing about her screamed Slytherin yet th...
Eleanore was a level headed girl- so naturally before losing her shit she found the books she was searching for and charmed them to Gryffindor common room. She sent a charmed paper airplane note along with it to unfold and slide through the crack of the portrait of the fat lady- to let Lily know the books were hovering outside waiting to be let in and that she was running late.
Project secured she ran for the only person on the planet she trusted and knew could figure a way out of this- Severus Tobias Snape.

Just like with Sirius, Eleanor and Severus locked horns the moment they met. Slughorn had made them lab partners her first lesson and Snape was rude and unbelievably cold from the second she introduced herself and held out her hand. Apart from ignoring her hand he told her not to bother touching any of the ingredients or equipment because she'd just fuck it up and he will do the whole brew alone unless she wanted him to hex her into next Friday.
The only difference between Snape's and Sirius's altered futures with her was that when Eleanor assured Snape she wanted to pass as much as he did and Potions was one of her strengths- he gave her the grace to look her in the eye for a good long while, which kind of unnerved her she wouldn't lie as it was like the boy was looking into her very soul- scanning every neuron making up her mind. He at least appeared to be giving her a chance.

As those striking pitch black orbs of his looked into what could be seen of her Jade green swirling ones- he scoffed.
"Fine. If you muck it up I'll make you drink it as penance".
Coincidently they were making the Drought of the living Death ☠️- which as we know is poison.
"Fine" she said not fussed. "Get a creed stick while you're in there" she said gesturing to the store cupboard everyone was moving towards to get ingredients they needed.
"What on earth for?" He said bemused.
"It speeds up the reaction time of the catalystic properties when you scape some of the inner bark into the brew, makes the potion more potent. Tried and tested" she added at the look on his face. "My parents are Unmentionables- I read it in one of their folders..." she said in a whisper "When I broke into their office and rifled through their cabinets of classified experiments" said explained like this proved everything.
