I look back at the professor's table to see Dumbledore stand up followed by a very angry and uncomfortable Snape. "Students, I am afraid that lessons are cancelled till we can fix the mess that has been created." Dumbledore addresses the entire hall a few "Yay's" are heard along with a few complaints then he continues "will Mr Fred and George Weasley please come to my office, thank you that is all." He finishes and walks out with an agitated Snape still following him. Everyone slowly leaves the hall, those affected heading to the hospital wing and those who aren't heading out to do their own things.

"Ugh that was so boorriingg!" Chantal whines as we leave the classroom. "For once I have to agree with you" Alison chimes with a huff, "Alison agreeing about a lesson being boring!" I mock with a laugh. "Well it's a fact, I'm just glad it's lunch time" Alison states. "What have we got next" I ask to no one in particular "Transfiguration with Gryffindor" Alison answers. "Aww, I want potions. When do we have it next?" Chantal whines again. "you're very whiny today aren't you?" I laugh as she dramatically gasps "and we only have it again on Wednesday". "Aww I wanted to have a lesson with Sarah!" She continues to whine. "It's not Sarah! It's Severus!" Alison shouts at her "you should use his name not the name the twins gave him" Alison continues angrily walking into the Great hall.

Taking my seat next to Draco, I start getting ready for the class with Alison sat across from us. I take a quick glance across the room and spot Chantal practically bouncing in her chair with a wide grin on her face as she intently stares at the classroom door. I giggle slightly under my breathe as I watch her as she impatiently awaits the arrival of our potions teacher. Draco and Alison notice my lack of attention and follow my line of sight to Chantal. Draco laughs too as Alison just looks annoyed. That's when the door opens to reveal our teacher, she looms darkly in the doorway for a sec then with large strides she walks to her desk. However, before she can even step in the door Chantal shouts "SARAH!" happily causing most of the class to erupt in a fit of giggles and cackles. Poor Severus not even into her class and already she looks agitated. "100 points from Gryffindor" Severus booms to the class as she arrives at her desk.
Severus has been female for three weeks now. The professors still haven't been able to work out what the twins did to the potion. So Severus will be known as Sarah for the foreseeable future.

Obnoxiously loud and cheerful chatter fill the Great hall as the students talk about the day's events. "So how was that flying lesson, Chantal? I heard a cat didn't land on her feet" Damian laughs at his cousin. "The cat's face planted the grass" I giggle, reaching for my pumpkin juice. "Hey, Damian? Have you heard anything from the twins about Snape's condition?" Alison asks drawing all our attention. She's always asking about him."No" Damian answers simply "have you got a crush on the potions master? I'm only asking cause you ask about him every chance you get" he continues as he eyes Alison for her reaction.
Alison is quick to react, she spits her half chewed food everywhere as she starts choking all while a sickly expression rests on her face. "Whow! Are you okay!?" I ask freaking out as I repeatedly hit her back. The group all give concerned looks as Alison waves me off. "Shit! Sorry! I didn't know you'd react like that!" Damian freaks. Alison quickly takes a big swig of her pumpkin juice, "I'm fine" she confirms still waving us off. "Are you sure? You don't look so good" Draco asks her patting her back.
"Ggrrrrr" I growl out quietly, wait why am I growling....I didn't even know I could growl. "Did you just growl?" Chantal asks me looking a little scared, Damian also looks a little scared. "No, I don't even know how to growl" I answer quickly. "What is going on here?" A calm yet strict voice asks. Looking up from the conversation there at the edge of the table stood Snape. "Nothing Da-I mean professor" Alison answers.
*BOOM!*
The hall goes quite as professor Quirelle runs up the centre of the hall, stopping halfway to shout "TROLL! There's a troll in the dungeon!" And then he passes out right there. The Great hall erupts into absolute chaos. To say I wasn't even a little scared would be an understatement, but I was better at hiding it than Draco who looked like he was about to shit himself.
Professor Dumbledore was quick to take control of the situation tho "SILENCE!!!.......Do not panic...prefects will lead their house's back to their dormitory. Teachers will follow me to the dungeon" okay that sounds reasonable. Everyone obeys, the students starts to calmly but quickly move to their dorms and the teachers quickly head off. "Wait,... The Slytherin dorms are in the dungeon..." I voice my random realisation to no one in particular.
My little group suddenly stop walking, and Damian starts to chuckle "sucks to be a Slytherin right now" he says as he pulls Chantal towards the Gryffindor's. "You're right" Draco says before rushing off pushing through the crowd to probably go inform the prefect of the situation. Alison shrugged and starts walking again with the Slytherin's "I don't know about you but I'm not going down there" I state loudly to her. "What choice do we have?" She looks at me blankly "I don't know, maybe we can hide in a classroom?" I suggest, pointing to a hallway.
She shrugs at me and we start walking to the hallway that most likely has a classroom or two. When we reach a classroom Alison takes out her wand and performs alohamora. Once we're inside she closes the door and performs colloportus.
⭐Small time skip⭐
After a while we here Dumbledore's voice echo throughout Hogwarts. "The troll has been taken care of, all students may sleep easy tonight" we both sigh in relief and leave the classroom. It was peaceful as we head to bed. We hadn't spoken while in the classroom out of fear of being found but even as we walked to our dorm we stayed in a comfortable silence.
Once we'd reached our dorm we went our separate ways to do our nightly routines. As I walked out of the bathroom in my PJ's I spotted Alison sat on my bed with a transfiguration book and her hair brush. We'd started this stress relief tradition not long after she arrived, every night after we were ready for bed Alison would come sit on my bed and we'd talk about what was stressing us out as I brushed her hair.
I walk over to the bed, climbing on and sitting behind her. As I start to brush her hair she starts to talk. "So what was that growl about? I didn't know you could growl" "to be perfectly honest with you, I didn't know I could growl either. I mean I know I'm part wolf but, I've never growled, and I've never heard mom growl" I answer as I take the brush through her hair.
"So it was completely random...wait, does it have something to do with when Draco was patting my back?" She asks turning to look at me which causes me to stop brushing her hair. "No...I don't think so...I don't know" I answer as I force her head back into place and continue to brush her hair.
"Anyway what about you and that reaction to Damian's questions about Professor Snape?" I ask "OH MY GOD NO! That's actually disgusting!" She yells quickly. "I wasn't asking if you liked him, I was asking why the big reaction" I clarify, steadying her head and start to plait her hair.
"Can I tell you a big secret that you can't tell anyone?" She asks turning to look at me. "Move your head again and I'm gonna hit you" I laugh repositioning her head, "And yes" "Sorry" she giggles "Anyway, I gave such a big reaction because I was actually that shocked and disgusted. My actual name is Alison Snape. Professor Snape's my dad" she answers as I finish her hair.
She stands up giving a stretch "that actually felt good to get off my chest. It's getting late now, I'll explain properly in the morning" she says walking and getting into bed. "Okay, goodnight Alison" I say climbing into bed. "Goodnight Harley" she says back
"Nox"
