She knew she’s been there before but never once did she imagine it so clearly. She could see the details as if she visited the cottage yesterday yet she wasn’t even sure she ever visited it.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMlxTKiw7t
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzh8oIsTsJ4
It was strange because she could see everything from a different point of view, a smaller point of view actually. Everything was big compared to her but nothing was intimidating or peculiar in any way. 1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDjyLGDgEK

“How are enjoying yourself, Pheli?” 1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAPkic4rA3
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsFwXvd5Rq
Ophelia looked up into the marvelous eyes of a ginger man. He smiled widely, his eyes full of joy and love as he bent in front of her and ruffled her hair. 1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Uvh0cne0P
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlNNwkkDa0
“It’s been a while hasn’t it? How is our little witch?” He asked, making Ophelia blush without really having a reason why. 1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQTjjhfDoA
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfMfwRgPPP
Well, maybe the reason was the way he seemed to emanate this boyish charm, making him attractive even for a little girl. Or maybe it was the dimples baby face of his that looked incredibly cute and friendly. 1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRDM6pRNKk
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8N2GYUjWH
“She’s only six years old, Vernon. Don’t mess with my daughter’s feelings already.” An older woman spoke, her voice soothing and extremely familiar.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6s0JnKYEe
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyO5zdaCrH
Ophelia turned to look at the woman and her heart beat faster at the sight of her face. Lillian Gaunt was playfully glaring at the ginger, her whole face bright and happy. She was beautiful ad those amazing green eyes were pretty much the same as Ophelia’s only hers were wide and clear while Ophelia’s were slightly elongated, like a cat’s. Lillian was a tall woman with long red hair and a certain elegance that seemed to come from her not from the way she was dressing, which was very classy. She was feminine and her whole appearance was making Ophelia feel safe. 1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXfp8Sxnj0
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhH4qw5cOv
“I’m not doing anything! Don’t be a bugger, Mrs. Gaunt.” He spoke in a way that even the child could understand he was trying to annoy her mother.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePI8pwa5D8
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuEdU9bRrM
“Don’t call me that. Just Lillian is fine.”1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANnM78SMu5
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1irWtWHAf
“Whatever you say.” He mumbled before turning to Ophelia, “Then I will just take this little princess here and introduce her to my Patronus.” He said, smiling eagerly.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkCdBWUJUv
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsOG0spgoC
Lillian chuckled when she remarked the confusion over Ophelia’s face. 1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtHwIaIPQ4
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1yF4l78uG
“His Patronus is a dragon. He talks about him as if he were his pet.” Lillian partially joked because, seriously, partially she was right. 1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ65noJ32Ne
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2ZYD0cotU
“He’s my faithful companion, has always been. He represents my happiness unlike yours, Mrs. Gaunt.” He emphasized again that small detail that seemed to annoy Lillian but she only rolled her eyes.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxBLVgwKWm
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqggAF0kNm
Vernon’s smile softened up as his eyes trailed from Lillian to her daughter and sighed. Ophelia could see just how happy was that man and she was curious if, by any chance, he wasn’t her her. 1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zv3mQgqwI
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdqB1icFPr
Suddenly, the whole room emptied and it became cold. Ophelia grew back to her original size and looked around curiously. She was in a different house, one that she knew well but hasn’t visited in a while. The brunette witch looked up to the first floor and breathed out, feeling a chill go down her spine. She placed her hand on the railing and trailed it as she took a few steps up the stairs. The door suddenly closed and she turned around quickly, scared. No one was downstairs so she turned back towards the first floor. Ophelia looked up and saw green before she heard someone whisper.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJbYYl1ahO
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MLNmKpNuG
“Not yet.”
Two green eyes opened abruptly, scaring whoever was next to her. She rose on her bottom quickly and looked down at her hands.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9cxXoMLbZ
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDs24AnsvCj
“Are you alright, dear? You woke up so suddenly.”1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEPYBTVr7R
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAup9q9kHk
Ophelia looked up and met the worried eyes of Madame Pomfrey, who was just passing by her bed. Seeing her, it made the girl remember that she was actually at school and she had a very bad meeting with what was called a Dementor. Then, she remembered one more detail-1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tT1M4rfuV
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndfAcFEgbX
“Where is Severus?” She asked, yet not moving from the bed. For some reason, she felt like she shouldn’t push the covers off.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmI0j0woVP9
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06Tdrqkv3S
Madame Pomfrey smiled softly, worry still in her eyes but something else too.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7xRwQSTZs
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPoI6nMEwX
“He’s fine. He’s been coming every two hours to check on you.” She said softly before her smile widened, “Such a friendship is hard to come by. Treasure it.” She said before leaving to mend to her own business.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSmIbApJzh
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGwgcfvDun
All alone in the whole room, Ophelia looked down at her hands once again. She was sure someone tugged on her hand right before she lost consciousness and it was someone rather small. Slowly, Ophelia pushed the covers off and patted around, searching for something small yet firm. She couldn’t find anything until she started to search under the pillow. Every so often she would glance over her shoulder, just in case someone would spontaneously pop in. It was clear and she found it; she found the stone and it looked unimpressive.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbB8h6tRFy
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMouJwFlrKE
The knob moved and being so large, the door cracked as it opened and Ophelia pulled the covers over quickly. She kept her hand under and lied down, looking still tired.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMvuItl59x
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8USQw2CEVw
Surprisingly, the one who entered was Professor Spinnard, whose face was pretty much the definition of an unpleasing, grumpy visitor who wanted to be anywhere but there.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX6xojgql2
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65b1wXmMki
“Glad to see you’re well, Molley.” He mumbled, his tone opposite of what he actually said, “You just can’t help yourself, can you? Trouble is written all over your face and you went so far as dragging Severus with you.”1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQyd7nHwKP
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mvycRDckt
“I didn’t drag anyone with me. You weren’t there. You don’t even know what happened, professor.” She responded, annoyed that he could look down on her so much that he’d even think she would drag someone into trouble.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIg2j02DAG
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlqiMvHK39
Professor Spinnard raised an eyebrow and seemed to scan her closely, as if he knew she was hiding something.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZ25FXarTx
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfqtUcmL8n
“Did you hurt your hand?” He asked, his voice sounding a lot like her father when he knew she had done something bad but wanted her to speak about it.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdSNqt3u7A
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnYsR15f2R
“No.”1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWCRunqm3R
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLoI86YerP
Professor Spinnard was only a professor so he shouldn’t look so deep into what his students were doing in their free time. Besides, she was from another house and he had no right to question her.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHbt9vqNRD
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7J5IXfsQ56
“I would prefer if you would leave me alone to rest, prof-“1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkME0rgpgG
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtCOXVp77y
“Have you finished your homework, Molley? The extra work too?” He interrupted, asking something irrelevant to the matter at hand.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkchs3o13dl
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaUL6VOakD
“What extra homework?” She asked, taken aback by the sudden change.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7DJTMievo
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡma8RfkaH44
“For walking out into the Forest, which is strictly forbidden to students such as yourself, and for secretly learning spells high above your skill without a tutor. You wrote about defensive spells, haven’t you? Well, it’s time for you to write me about offensive spells and curses. Also, for the whole of the next semester you and your friend will be actively participating in my class.” He finished, walking two steps closer yet still keeping the distance.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡep3AADimJA
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvt8Ean6Nq
“Is that all?” She asked, knowing that it wasn’t such a bad punishment.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2g8KVrAydd
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGdmsVwMkl
Professor Spinnard chuckled darkly, linking his arms behind him.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPnG6rUZkb
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4BM6WZrBt
“Believe me, that’s enough. I have prepared classes especially for you, Ophelia.” He added before he sneered at her and left.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSFTPRYVg8
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAJEIgR23R
Hearing her name being spoken by someone so strange was only adding more questions to her list.
Ophelia was perfectly fine, except the shock of having to face a Dementor. Madame Pomfrey offered her some chocolate and advised her to eat a lot in the next few days. Of course the first place she went to was the dungeons where she met Professor Slughorn.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4IsBckVLM
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDPDujBdIS
“Oh, dear! You scared me…”1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nu9dpOsam
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VqrABnEsm
He looked genuinely scared for some reason and she knew she wasn’t exactly terrifying.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlAMNzVVGa
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ400hoaauI
“I’m sorry, professor. I was in a hurry to see Severus.”1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzjgL6lzkp
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhKbUZtYiN
“Oh, yes, yes. Severus Snape, such a gifted potion maker. Of course, it’s still too early to give an honest opinion but he’s a fast learner, that boy.” Slughorn added, complimenting Severus with a bright expression, “I’m sure you will try harder this next semester, am I right? You must not fall behind your friends, Molley.”1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXvfAvtB30
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvfBXnvMT5
“I’ll try my best, professor. It’s not going so well for me now so I’m not sure I’ll improve.”1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmIDCxAnFt
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy933I6ig4Y
Slughorn was surprised for the mere fact that she looked genuinely worried and angry with herself. She was so pitiful, especially because Slughorn has seen how bad she was at potions compared to other classes.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOljPEu89R
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtjAmhX2MU
“Yes, well you may need a miracle for that to happen.” He trailed, his smile cracking in the corners.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYXk86NShE
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eMnsD8rzq
Ophelia could feel her eyebrow twitch at that subtle commentary but decided to shrug it off since he was a professor and she was just a first year. She still had a lot to learn and do and showing Slughorn that she could master the art of making potions was just another thing on her list.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQCTdzCiax
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxW4J5UQHJ
“Well, I’ll be off then. Nice seeing you, professor.” She said with a polite smile before rushing past him towards the Slytherin common room.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldQATuWHIF
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHi4sA1rnRk
It was only when she passed a certain dusty classroom that she realized she didn’t know where the Slytherin common room was. She wandered around the dungeons for an hour before she finally found someone that could help, if he wanted to.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAOElkFGI4
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASa911YCSC
“You should be upstairs, little girl. The festivity will begin soon.”1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY30OXpkpK
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlS1UcXMsG0
He was a ghost, the Bloody Baron of them all, and he was terrifying. Of course, it was because of the blood on his clothes and the stories she heard from other students but he himself seemed to be very secretive and firm.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VlZxTKTHR
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxLpHwmhhk
“I am looking for Severus?” She asked, taking a few steps back when the Baron flied closer. “Greasy black hair and dark wide eyes. He looks like a squirrel really…” She added chuckling to herself but the Baron was poker faced.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQFwvD0hQL
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6zhHLTwRd
“The festivity will begin soon. It’s Christmas, Miss Gaunt.” He added, staring at her closely.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTCehWXHwL
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5AVtORSNe
“Miss Gaunt?” She asked, completely taken aback by that name. “I have heard that name before…” She mumbled, scratching her cheek thoughtfully.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hscuWLfjx
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iWylHdirr
“Daughter of Lillian Gaunt, aren’t you?” The Baron asked, already knowing the answer.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4fDaKaK2A
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ10XhKreCf
Ophelia nodded mouth agape as the ghost flied through the wall towards the Potion classroom.
During dinner, Dumbledore was sure to transform the ceiling into a night sky, full of bright stars while snow was swaying beautifully around the room. It was Christmas and the students that remained at Hogwarts were definitely enjoying themselves. Severus was nowhere to be found so that left Ophelia all alone at the table, munching on whatever she could find that wasn’t greasy. The tarts were delicious so she even hid some in her pockets in case she would like a midnight snack. 1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB57mhXxr0
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhEoiNivD8
Taking one long glance around the Great Hall, Ophelia fumbled with her pants’ front pocket before taking out the stone. She looked down at it, turned it in every way but from any angle she’d look at it, it was nothing but a stone. She took a peek at the staff table and noticed that Dumbledore was not there so with a little bit more confidence, she put her hands on the table and placed the stone into the light.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBqxu9nWCU
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdc7GJR4bT
“How did I get you?” She mumbled, wondering just how exactly the stone ended in her grasp.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWosWRpIEiF
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiJPW3RcKZ
Well, someone did tug on her arm and probably forced it in her hand but that person must have been pretty small for that to happen. Also, how exactly did Severus get rid of the Dementor? Did professor Spinnard follow them or maybe Hagrid saw them? It was still so mysterious.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYPItH2hyI
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uCw5AeBb9
“Enjoying yourself, Ophelia?”1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vNZg1yKoQ
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXZQcIa8ar
Hearing that low tone, Ophelia’s eyes widened and she hid the stone in her palm; she grasped it tightly before going back to choosing tarts.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeH7Eh1nySN
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5tosz29pk
“Headmaster,” She barely said before grabbing a tart with her free hand, “I’m fine, yes. It’s a bit lonely but I enjoy the silence and peace.”1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9bh4qMVRh
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaQDieU3C2
Dumbledore’s careful eye caught sight of the stone from the moment she pulled it out but it felt like she wouldn’t give it to him if he were to ask her about it. Ophelia was a secretive child, just like her parents, so he had to be careful.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVxl954EcM
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBef8aAfaz6
“I thought you were rather eager to go back to Birmingham.” He started, knowing exactly what route to take with her.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJhOyYe82p
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HiYOLB9Fx
“Um, yes. I lost the train and decided to spend Christmas here. Besides, Willy has been missing ever since I arrived to Hogwarts.” She grumbled, still having a hard time because of her owl.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9Q3yr3YDf
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jzDEwoNrI
Dumbledore’s usual warm blue eyes seemed to have darkened as his whole posture stiffened; it was barely noticeable, but being right behind her, she could help but feel tension surround her.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEX2nGKjWZy
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwRnmIYosW
“It would be better to have someone look after him. I’m sure he will return but until then, use one of the owls from the Owlery.”1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoIxkNW7g4
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwge9ynVEtC
Dumbledore advised her softly yet there was a tinge of firmness in his voice; it actually made her feel like she might have been the one ordering Willy not to return.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCl7grUUDx
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDFl94hlnA
But there was something even stranger and that was the sudden information that there existed an Owlery. She kept that sudden enthusiasm to herself but her eyes were shining in hope that she could write to her adoptive parents.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoKHtbxuCW
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBYw485Cvq
“I assume you don’t plan another escapade to the Forbidden Forest?” He asked as if he already knew everything, making her tighten her grasp on the stone. “Have you found something of interest on your last adventure?” He added.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BbOvQhr2B
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShGzBPot7H
“No, of course not. Except maybe a Dementor.” She mumbled, feeling suddenly tensioned with the headmaster questioning her.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6UJ92P1Cc
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXZvb1a1xu
“Do you know who saved you, Ophelia?”1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2APCgfdNen
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNQf6i9DXM
She sighed and turned to fully look at him while he moved a bit to the side. He was very tall and quite intimidating from her seat yet there was something else that was making her feel angry.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoX8saYtNd2
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRwlFPI70c
“I don’t know. Professor Spinnard? Or maybe Severus?” She asked trying to sound innocent. “My Patronus, even if it ran away?”1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7B1x4UXYD
Dumbledore raised one eyebrow elegantly and shook his head.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgoHqBsLLD
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYQKhm4gYk
“When Professor Spinnard arrived, the Dementor was already gone and Severus was unconscious. He left right before you woke up so then, who saved you? I do have my own theories but I would like if you could give me an answer of your own.”1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsa3pR0pxg8
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveFaFpgTy1
Under Dumbledore’s watchful eye -and it looked like nothing would pass him, not the smallest information about the students of Hogwarts (and even beyond the grounds of the school)- Ophelia was just a child, maybe innocent maybe not, that was trying her hardest to hide from his view. Well, that was impossible at the moment and she knew she had to come up with some theory of her own.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQjP5r4QeM
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡib7pVXJCx7
“Someone else heard us and came to help. Someone who was already in the forest, watching.” She answered hesitantly.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhaos2YFKc
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNs7ePjFFe
Dumbledore chuckled and nodded before he leaned in a bit.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrse8W3FCM
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2lPb8WjPn
“Maybe. You may be right and if so, then someone has been watching you and Severus secretly. But I don’t think that person was there, I believe that your Patronus did not have enough power to push the Dementor away so based on your memories, it went in search of that particular person.”1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXMAnawkf5
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bwwLxphK6
“What person?” She asked, getting confused even though Dumbledore’s eyes seemed to get darker.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLoKmVM3jS
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeA6gVPoE0z
“The person that makes you happy,” He said, looking at her with those intense blue eyes from behind his half-moon spectacles. “He must treasure you just as much as you treasure him if he did come in your help.”1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfohWINS4y9
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOuS8ImzrU
“But then-“ She stopped, knowing that she was going to give herself away if she’d speak more.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bqUvzfIWF
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVu5KlRWYx
Instead, she thought about that supposed person that makes her happy; her mind could only surface memories with the pale man and the way he introduced her to a new world, one that she belongs in.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZkoyyg2gV
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRwA10vpfn
“Ophelia, be careful in whom you trust both inside and outside these ground. Hogwarts can only help you if you ask for it but it can’t protect you from yourself.”1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp2yBVYs3F
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLVNGK5VAZ
Those words were meant in more than one way and understanding them was far too complicated for Ophelia back then. Seeing the black hair of Severus Snape, her attention shifted quicker than the dark glint in Dumbledore’s eyes.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfVUU6rcMe
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZfRRMBK7w
Feeling like she was at a loss of words, Ophelia said a quick Merry Christmas, headmaster! in which Dumbledore nodded and smiled softly at the child.1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfk1y6Ruik
1298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7Fr4W5iH6
The tension dispersed and Dumbledore grabbed one tart before winking at the brunette and moving towards the staff table. While the girl was focusing on the Slytherin boy, having to tell him many things, the headmaster was growing curious just who exactly saved her; was it the same man as in Aviemore? If that was the case, he should have a word with Professor Spinnard and Professor McGonagall.
