Jean Potter [Book1]

Chapter 8: Lady Jean? & Halloween

I know Harry already doesn't like Professor Snape and suspects him of misdoings but I know it's not Severus' doing. I head to my chambers. Severus catches me in the hallway outside our rooms. "how was your chat today?" "Okay. I had to reprimand him. He was misclassifying Slytherins, and then we talked about Sirius but I never mentioned his last name. We talked about me and James, we talked about Lily, Petunia, and squibs. We finished with talking about the perfect house I found for the two of us today. I bought it and got all my paperwork  into the Ministry, including the one for my Ladyship." "Your Ladyship?" "I'm the Potter head of house but I always let James do everything. Now that he's gone I have to step up if I ever want Harry to take over and have access to his full inheritance." "His full inheritance?" "Right now he can get into the vault James and Lily created as a trust fund for Harry. It's where they kept whatever money they earned. The Potter family vault is passed to the eldest heir of the Potter line on the death of the last owner. When first my mother then my father died I became owner. I didn't realize it at the time or that James couldn't get into it either. Had I known I'd have authorized James access to it, but as it stands the true Potter fortune is in the vault I inherited. I have my personal vault as well that has my earnings and things, that has a small fortune in it too. I now have more money than I know what to do with." "So shall I start calling you Lady Potter or Lady Jean Potter?" "Severus! No! You know I even hated being called Miss in school." Sev chuckles. "I know." I smile and go to go into my chambers. "By the way you never told me where your new house is located." "Oh Dumbledore recommended this charming little muggle community." "What's it called?" "On Spinner's End in Cokeworth, I believe. Night Severus." I see his shocked face as I say his street in the muggle world. I close my door excited for Halloween. Great now that Quirrell yelled troll in the dungeon all the kids are freaking out. All the teachers are following Dumbledore as ordered but Quirrell who is fake passed out on the floor and Severus who I'm now following to the third-floor corridor that's off-limits. Why is he going here? "Severus?!" He spins at my voice. "Severus what are you doing." "Protecting the forbidden corridor!" He then promptly turns and strides off. I follow him. Oh my god it's a giant 3 headed dog! It's bit Sev but we've stopped Quirrell from coming here as Severus has informed me. We go to the girls bathroom. Harry and Ron are lying and Hermione is half lying she's telling the truth about the boys saving her life but not why they had too. I notice Harry is staring at Sev's bitten leg until he covers it up. Let Harry think it's Snape all he wants then he won't go near Quirrell. I pull the three into a hug. "I'm so glad you three are safe Harry I was so worried for you. Don't worry me like that, I already lost your father I won't lose you too!" "Uh, Harry wanna explain?" asks Ron. "Oh. Ron, 'Mione meet Jean Potter, my dad's twin sister. She's my aunt" "Oh bloody cool mate your aunt's a teacher bet she helps with your grades." "Ronald Weasley that you think I'd help any student cheat let alone Harry here is absolutely appalling! You should think before you speak, you might find yourself in less trouble." He blushes embarrassed. "Hermione why were you really in that bathroom? Because you were lying about going after the troll." She sighs "I was crying because of something someone said earlier. How did you know I was lying?"  "Call it a family gift. And who said what?" "Ron called me a bloody know it all and said it's why I have no friends." "Well that's a lie right there Hermione. Who but best friends would face down a fully grown mountain troll for you?" She smiles and wipes her tears and hugs the boys. "Good, now boys if anyone is mean to our Hermione you defend her like you did from that troll, preferably with words and not wands though."  They smile "Yes Professor Potter." "Oh man please don't call me that outside of class. Jean will do for you and Hermione, Ron." "Yes Jean." "Glad that's out of the way. Now read your book Harry, you know which one and all three of you get some sleep. Oh and Harry congrats on making the team. Your father would have been so proud of you." "Thanks Aunt Jean." "No problem it's true Harry. Goodnight all." You hug Harry and kiss his head enforcing the love protecting him. They all go to bed.
