Snape and I walked to the great hall together gaining glances from almost all the students we passed, at last we sat down at the staff table. For dinner they served turkey mashed potatoes gravy and a dinner roll. I wasn't very hungry I had a little bit of potatoes and my dinner roll Hagrid scarfed down what was left.
I excused myself from the table gaining a rather worried look from Snape I walked out of the great hall and into my room I have gotten a letter from my sick sister:
Dear (F/N),
Don't worry about me so much! I hope your first day was fantastic. My husband and I have decided to get a therapy cat! I know dogs are more your style but the cat we are looking at is absolutely adorable! Go out and have fun! Mum won't stop talking about you getting married... She thinks it won't happen... But I have high hopes for you! I'll send pictures soon!
Best wishes! Love,
Mary Jane
I smiled happily at the letter i set it down on my desk in my small bedroom, in hopes of getting around to write back. Tomorrow was a weekend and all in all... My first day has been exhausting. I laid down in my bed happily drifting off to sleep in my evening clothes.
I woke up abruptly from a nightmare.. Atleast I think it was... I can't quite remember what it was about... I got out of bed and fixed my hair and makeup a bit. I stepped out of my room getting a few looks from students who wandered the halls aimlessly.
I decided to go stop by Snape's room I knocked on the door to hear a faint "enter" from inside. I walked towards his desk and pulled up a chair across from him he looked up at me and sighed "what?" He asked demanding "I just came to visit! But I can leave..." I said standing "sit..." He demanded once more.
I sat down, "it seems as though I may owe you an explanation..." He said pausing to glance at me "professor you don't owe me anything" I said sweetly smiling "call me Severus..." He said coldly "now, listen... " he couldn't find the right words all he did was sigh.
"Get out" he said harshly once again I stood up and left the room shocked confused and kinda worried I walked out of the dungeon slowly I got lost in thought as I heard hurried feet then someone knocked into me and fell to the ground.
I looked down and immediately dropped down to help the student pick up his books "I am so sorry professor (L/N)!" The boy said who I recognized it to be Harry Potter " don't worry about it! it's my fault I wasn't watching where I was going!" I said gathering papers and neatly putting them into a pile. I stood up and handed him the papers "thank you professor..." He said shortly " you're welcome! Did you start your-" then I was interrupted "Potter!" Harry froze terrified.
Severus now stood beside me "what do you think you're doing pestering Professor (L/N)?!" Snape asked harshly "professor no, it's my faul-" he then interrupted once again "20 points from Gryffindor!" He said angrily. Harry glared at Snape " no!" I protested " go ahead Harry... I'll deal with this" I said to Harry, he hurried off.
"Why're you so hard on the kid?" I asked with my hands on my hips his face turned a light shade of pink "he's always snooping around and getting into thing-" it was my turn to interrupt him " do you remember what it was like being a kid?" I retorted "yes... I do but you don't seem too" he said coldly staring me down.
"I literally just got here! What kind of shit are you talking behind my back?..." I asked quietly, he stared into my eyes searching for an answer. I sighed then turned and stomped off towards Sybil Trewalnry, I climbed hesitantly up the ladder to the trap door.
I opened the trap door and saw her with her back towards me "I knew you'd come..." She said in a daze "I will read your fortune..." She said sweetly standing up from her large chair she walked over to me and took my hand she sat me down at a table across from her.
"Drink this dear" she said handing me a hot cup of tea I began gulping down the tea feeling it soothe the back of my throat she then stopped me and took it from my hands. "Sybil... I have a question" I said sweetly watching her look through the tea.
"What is it?" She asked "Have you ever felt like a big part of your life was missing?..." I asked her sweetly "all the time dear..." She said it was then quiet. The strong perfume aroma lingered through my nose it was relaxing, my eyes began getting heavy "aha!" She said startling me.
"I see... That your life is confusing lately... But it will clear up soon and you will get into more relationships... Oh, wait... Once everything clears, the truth might not be as good as it seems... Don't go digging into the past something VERY grim lurks... Waiting... Stalking you..." She then stopped and stared at me scared.
"Alright... Well thanks for the tea... This has been... Um very... Lovely! I have to go um... Consult with Professor Dumbledore!" I said gaining the courage to stand up, she watched my every move as I opened the trap door and began ascending down the latter.
I straightened my clothes as I got to the bottom of the ladder. I then began making my way towards Dumbledores office, Minerva helped get there. We passed the statues and stood on the moving stairs. I knocked softly on Dumbledores door.
I heard a faint "Come in..." And I turned the knob slowly and entered.
"Professor Dumbledore there is something I would like to discuss-" I then froze dead in my tracks I thought I'd never see him again...
