Snape's Apprentice (Severus Snape Love Story)

Chapter 6

I walk to my bed confused. I shake my head and settle myself down beneath the covers. I fall asleep and dream... or more like see a memory. It was from when I was five.

I look up into my daddy’s eyes. They are green, like how mine are sometimes. He is starting to play with me and lift me up into the air. My mother interrupts.

Her auburn hair swishes about as she looks angrily at my father who puts me down and sends me to my room. I don’t know what it’s about.

“I don’t want to be a part of this anymore Tom!” Mommy can only call daddy Tom, but when none are around. “I miss my father, and I don’t want your death eaters around Clarina anymore!” I hear a smashing noise. My father roars.

“It is not your decision Ariana! I am the leader! It is not my fault you are his daughter! You chose me and you will not turn away from me. You made the decision to join me!” There is a silence but only for a moment as I hear mommy cry.

“Not anymore Tom. I am leaving you and I am taking her with me. She will not be married off to anyone, she won't be your Slytherin heir, and she won't be yours.” She says with a firm voice. My father’s steps ring through the house.

“Is this your final decision?”

“Yes... Tom I still love yo-“ She gets cut off as my daddy screams some silly words.

“AVADA KADAVRA!” There is a loud drop and I walk into the room. Daddy turns to me as I look to my mommy.

“Daddy? Whats wrong with mommy?” He looks sad.

He takes my hand and lifts me into his arms.

“Mommy was going to leave daddy, so I had to make her sleep okay?” He says simply.

“Okay daddy...” He lays a kiss upon my cheek and forehead.

“Daddy has to leave. He has to go and make someone else sleep okay?” I nod. We reappear at the yellow peoples house. The Malfoys. My father hands me to the daddy of that house who smiles and plays with me when no one else is there. It’s a secret.

“Take care of her while I am gone Lucius.”

The houses daddy Lucius takes me to a room and-

I wake up before the other awful scene could play out. I take deep breaths in and out. I get up and walk to the bathroom. I have a set of tight black slacks, and a black long sleeved shirt with green accents. I pin the sides of my hair back, leaving a few fly away hairs around my face. My eyes are grey this morning. I smile into the mirror. They say that smiling for a certain amount of time can actually make you happy. I am not feeling it. I get on my black leather shoes and head for breakfast. Swiftly I grab my notebook and a charmed quill. It always has ink in it. I got the idea from a muggle pen I saw once a long time ago. I walk quickly from the dungeons which are now slightly more illuminated.

I make it up the levels without seeing Snape.

Upon entering the Great Hall, I see my grandfather and fellow instructors. I smile briefly and notice the only empty seat is between my grandfather and Snape. I wake up slowly and sit down. I grab some breakfast food from a platter in front of my plate mindlessly and open my notebook.

I chew on a piece of bacon and begin adding to my simple but powerful love potion. People would dismiss it easily because of its obvious and stereotypical ingredients, but it works near as good as the strongest love potion in the world and it longer lasting with virtually no side effects.

I write out the rest of the ingredients, even though I have an uncanny ability for remembering ingredients I still try to write them down when creating or doing other stuff.

 1) (Love and Purity) Put 2 red rose petals and two white in small mortar an lightly press just enough for the petals to get tender and bleed. They must be on top of each other and aligned. (The following steps should all be done in their own mortar)

2) (Friendship and Passion) Slice the yellow rose petal and place upon the 2x purple, press lightly until the previous result is acquired.

3) Simply lay the 4x Josephs Coat petals on top of the 2x pink rose petals and press lightly.

4) Set cauldron to low boil and add all the petals.

5) Let stew until liquid becomes a murky red, with the same consistency as the original water.

6) Strain petals and save rose water solution.

7) Put strands of lovers hair and entwine with your strands and place with steeped petals. Stir lightly.

8) Sprinkle belladonna across the top of the hair and rose petals. Let sit for 3 minutes.

9) Use a silver knife and slice hand, release large drop of your own blood onto the mixture. Place on burner.

10) The ingredients should start dissolving and turn into a thick deep red liquid.

11)Use dropper and place equal amounts into 6 1 once vials. Then add three small drops of rose water to each vial.

12) Let set in cool dry area.

Finished.

Administer sparingly, no worry of them falling for someone else. By adding both participants hair and the makers blood it ensures the match and will not lead to unintended persons.

I lift my head to notice Snape peeking over my shoulder. I shut my book and he looks up to glare at me.

I smile lightly and turn back to my breakfast and return to eating with vigor.

Once I am done I say bye to grandfather and dismiss myself from the great hall to head to the dungeons. I hear the Professors robes whipping about and he easily catches up to me. We walk into the Potions class room and he gets me acquainted with the room. I know where everything is at and he informed me of class rules and managed to not sound like an arse.
