Anima Nera

She had to be the most annoying thing Severus had ever seen.
Susannah Brown was the vibrant, colorful and chatty type; already moving throughout Hogwarts like she owned the place, always followed by that ridiculous creature of hers. Susannah was a little too loud, too inquisitive, and far too smart for her own good.
