No one dared to move a muscle , tears pricked at Jane’s eyes ‘Why was everyone looking at her like that?’ she thought to her self. She knew that parseltongue was a rare language but why did every one care she could speak it. The snake eyed her beadily waiting for command “Go back into your cage , NOW” she almost shouted at the large reptile. He turned obediently “And don’t go near any one else” , she called after him as he was about to stray too near one of her fellow classmates. He slithered back into his cage and Moody placed the lid on his cage. “Well it seems that Miss Malfoy , has shown us one way to control a snake , unfortunately only a very few have this dark skill , in fact I only know of two parseltongues one is the dark lord and the other is sitting in this room.” This caused an eruption of whispers to go around the room, Jane took this break to look at her best friend who couldn’t even look her in the eyes. Everyone was giving her dirty looks , she couldn’t take it any more “Professor please may I be excused?” she asked quickly , the ex auror merely nodded. She didn’t need telling twice , she bolted out of the classroom, she ran and ran until she came to the girls toilets once in a cubicle she threw up her stomach contents , she cried and cried until no more tears could come out her eyes. She had never been so humiliated in her whole life , everyone hated her. She needed to see her brother , he would know what to say. The only problem being that she didn’t know where Draco was , but she did know someone who would. She quickly made her way down to the dungeons and knocked on the potions classroom door, Snape called out “Enter.” She opened the door to reveal Snape teaching a seventh year class which included her boyfriend. He at seeing the sight of his fearful looking girlfriend immediately stood up “Sit down Mr Diggory” Snape ordered , “Miss Malfoy what do you need?”

“I was wondering whether you knew where Draco was”

“He’s in transfiguration, I’ll take you there now” he said and they walked out of the classroom, leaving Cedric to worry about his girlfriend. “What’s happened?” Snape asked as the two walked down the corridor “Professor Moody , decided to teach us about snakes ,so naturally he brought one out and I began talking to it , only I didn’t realise that everyone would find it shocking”

“Jane you must be more careful , especially with the recent death eater demonstration at the quidditch world cup and the dark mark , people will begin to think you are a death eater”

“Well I’m going to be anyway , so what’s the difference” she spat. Snape said nothing else as they walked to the transfiguration classroom. When they arrived he knocked on the door and then asked “Professor McGonagall may I borrow Mr Malfoy a minute?” ,Jane presumed she agreed as not two seconds later her big brother came out looking utterly confused. “What’s going on?” he asked

“Your sister can explain to you” Snape said and then walked down the staircase. “Jane what’s wrong, you’re scarring me” he asked , she lent into his chest and mumbled “They know”

“Who knows what?”

“Everyone in the school will know”

“Knows what , Jane please tell me”

“That I can speak to them , the snakes” she buried her head further into his chest. “What’s wrong with that?”

“They all think I’m an evil wizard because that Moody guy said that there were only two parseltongues he knew; me and Voldermort,” Draco flinched at the name and then looked angry that Moody had made his sister cry. “Well I know you’re not an evil person , you’re furthest from it ok , don’t worry about , I think its really cool you can speak to them”

“Of course you would , you and all the other slytherins”

“Exactly, nobody is going to hate you because of this , some people may be scared of you but what’s wrong with that?”
