Snivellus' sister

5 ~ Intelligent and Cute

"Get out of bed you poor excuse for a girl, come on I've been up for hours and have only just managed to get my hair right! You have ten minutes till breakfast and you're still in bed, they boys are waiting for us down stairs." Lilys infuriated voice penetrated Silver's blissful sleep, she had been trying to wake the girl up for about twenty minutes resulting in her two roommates leaving for breakfast without her. Lilys patience was wearing thin and Silver could tell so reluctantly she opened her eyes. "Fine, fine I'm up I'm going to take a shower." Lilys face fell from the smug grin that had momentarily appeared. "A shower are you mad, we have ten minutes." Lily repeated causing Silver to ignore her and walk into the bathroom. Minutes later the girl walked out with her hair perfectly straight and appeared to be freshly washed, her makeup was done to perfection and her robes looked freshly pressed. Lily looked at her gobsmacked, "How did you do all that so quickly?" Silver giggled and reached for her school bag and grabbing Lilys hand pulling her out of the dorm. "Oh the benefits of being a Veela." She giggled.

"Finally, what took you two so long?" James asked once he saw the two girls enter the Great Hall and sit down opposite him. Silver grinned as she popped a grape in her mouth looking at Lily who remained looking astonished. She smiled at Ivy and Tillie who were sat further down the table with their other friends then turned her attention back to James. "Lily didn't know that I could use my Veela powers to get ready faster and was panicking we'd miss breakfast." Lily had regained her composure and began tucking into a bowl of porridge. The boy chuckled before taking bite of his toast. "So where's the boys then?" Silver asked looking around confused. James shrugged taking another bite. Before she could say another word Sirius, Remus, Peter and her brother walked in. Sirius, Peter and Remus all laughing loudly whilst Severus was dripping wet with a sour expression on his face, suddenly Silver remembered she was supposed to speak to her brother yesterday so she rose shooting the boys suspicious looks and ran over to her brother, the boys watched her intently curious to see what she was going to say.

"Hey Sevy." She grinned, he looked back at her with a cold expression which soon turned into one of love. He smiled shortly back at her, "what's up Silvy?" She smiled at the childhood nickname that he always used to call her. "Um, I was wondering, why were you so ... Before I say why are so soaking wet?" Silver asked raising her eyebrows at the boys appearance. He grimaced as she flashed a scowl towards the Gryffindor table, "Your new friends decided it would be a hilarious prank to soak me with enchanted waterballoons that followed me and finally burst as I tried to run back into the Slytherin common room." Silver shot her friends an angry look which caused them to look down in guilt.

"I'm so sorry Sevy I had no idea I'll try to get them to stop the pranks, anyway why did you look so angry when I was sorted into Gryffindor and sat with them." She pointed at her friends who had now lost interest in her conversation and started their own. Severus looked from her friends to her with a grimace, "All of our family have been Slytherins so it was just weird and unexpected for you to be a Gryffindor plus you chose to sit with the Marauders, they've been pranking and tormenting me since first year so I wasn't exactly ecstatic for you to be friends with them. I was just trying to look out for you sis." Silver smiled graciously at her brother, she had always loved how protective he was of her. "Thanks Sevy, but don't worry I'm happy with them they're really nice. Now I've got to go, first lesson starts soon and I don't want to be late but I promise I'll try to get them to stop the pranks. Love you." She blew him a kiss before running towards her friends turning back to wave at him. "Love you too." He called back to her, chuckling at her enthusiasm for lessons.

"Now now, children settle down. Now today we're going to be learning about Boggarts and how to defend yourself against them. C-c-can anyone tell me what a Boggart is and the spell to use against one?" Professor Quirrell straightened a large wooden wardrobe at the front of the room and turned to the class. Silvers hand shot up in the matter of seconds, she knew everything about boggarts, she had studied them in great detail in Beauxbatons. Professor Quirrell smiled at the young girl and indicated for her to answer.
