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.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFS4MWL7aS
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3FNPxrk7P
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. 1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TXhs6SYVn

“How are enjoying yourself, Pheli?” 1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa5jPSK62T
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mkYsbRsQj
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. 1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUgeBpuOur
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CAP6jwZdS
“It’s been a while hasn’t it? How is our little witch?” He asked, making Ophelia blush without really having a reason why. 1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcIp8LX9RF
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzUqOEmtnw
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. 1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeXwKedl9n
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfToJ2fhpM3
“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.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxX7OCDlnn
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoba5xaQrag
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. 1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKfzEu4cuE
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZdAtl6gvy
“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.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Fn6cZvU0R
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWJTZYv3N3
“Don’t call me that. Just Lillian is fine.”1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8HzpzEMMq
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYRw6yeeAT
“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.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6sTSCvkMC
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLz1Kg0Dj3
Lillian chuckled when she remarked the confusion over Ophelia’s face. 1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9EjKgMA2s
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuryW3lqzdp
“His Patronus is a dragon. He talks about him as if he were his pet.” Lillian partially joked because, seriously, partially she was right. 1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ku3Ym7SUL
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QLyKCaS0r
“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.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRYE1MaDZn
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0MEcyiOab
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. 1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3VQ9Sh593
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OgEfDLqkO
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.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3sfVbzQiG
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eahGSdjOT
“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.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6rKyxrGks
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXCfnUG6kX
“Are you alright, dear? You woke up so suddenly.”1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxpMKprNuA
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfdGAWAMkB
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-1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVESsgVVPpc
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nT7y86v87
“Where is Severus?” She asked, yet not moving from the bed. For some reason, she felt like she shouldn’t push the covers off.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ935zRvaW2X
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dda2CGzh7
Madame Pomfrey smiled softly, worry still in her eyes but something else too.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJk5oecCvee
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrppZZaSOzx
“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.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPSvOPUwGV
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4ZefUuYWQ
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.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf7Q3QDapt
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAAwcYh8e0
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.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOqYzy1twy
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ0BZYGAtA
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.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXLwcUlIaD
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68aXqWtQ3s
“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.”1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzC9PsHwsD
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEjBUFpaBB
“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.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DKMAV4k7r
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILQWysoGiZ
Professor Spinnard raised an eyebrow and seemed to scan her closely, as if he knew she was hiding something.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieAuVjO9bQ
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZzYetienl
“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.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkBtY9hXcE
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaBjMCaoHL
“No.”1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJd9Tft5cE
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfetIbV9jGe
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.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnL81lJAWxE
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTosSDVIDT
“I would prefer if you would leave me alone to rest, prof-“1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIrMFmYkS1
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik2gbxSSM8
“Have you finished your homework, Molley? The extra work too?” He interrupted, asking something irrelevant to the matter at hand.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqj1gRjXt55
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa57b4TtUU
“What extra homework?” She asked, taken aback by the sudden change.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtivdxpxsnn
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG4eKCtRgf
“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.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSoKzoky4T
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFr8FdbL1H
“Is that all?” She asked, knowing that it wasn’t such a bad punishment.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKazELAcmev
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZikl1anPYN
Professor Spinnard chuckled darkly, linking his arms behind him.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVUYgXbkmB
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXWc2rDTsP
“Believe me, that’s enough. I have prepared classes especially for you, Ophelia.” He added before he sneered at her and left.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJ5jwp6WfB
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruMVTS7thv
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.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks6o6tt8yA
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceDSXwyvpU
“Oh, dear! You scared me…”1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCVMfPOEO9
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33fFVbcIfq
He looked genuinely scared for some reason and she knew she wasn’t exactly terrifying.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGKFQxdLTK
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7IispE8TW
“I’m sorry, professor. I was in a hurry to see Severus.”1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8qRxvfscY
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kavlr7k70
“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.”1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXOadY9vyh
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC4gU059xM
“I’ll try my best, professor. It’s not going so well for me now so I’m not sure I’ll improve.”1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn78Jk4XqFD
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2ukVWowjT
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.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlOJCdHXw8
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6AWEhYFcl
“Yes, well you may need a miracle for that to happen.” He trailed, his smile cracking in the corners.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76RIfWP5Ze
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lOXGwpJmO
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.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9rT8I7HPN
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fM8aZJYSK
“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.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxIbw2XKj0
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19yerCIowg
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.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFlsU8NIHr
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKOHwqc9xH
“You should be upstairs, little girl. The festivity will begin soon.”1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkFHYqjxr9
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbKWS5fZxa
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.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHC0NAd75g
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDOivygXz6
“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.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXOQRWure2
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt49LkFflDZ
“The festivity will begin soon. It’s Christmas, Miss Gaunt.” He added, staring at her closely.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh33Ap3rfYd
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SAL0abXqM
“Miss Gaunt?” She asked, completely taken aback by that name. “I have heard that name before…” She mumbled, scratching her cheek thoughtfully.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7dn4WNeNC
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgej4UhekRX
“Daughter of Lillian Gaunt, aren’t you?” The Baron asked, already knowing the answer.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfplJWN5f2
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbiiG692r4
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. 1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBDMsf2Ehu
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMVAsmtywt
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.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcdDhMp55S
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1kPWNgrJ1
“How did I get you?” She mumbled, wondering just how exactly the stone ended in her grasp.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpQVa8hrU7
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsjwU3T3mE
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.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDUqJYhK8o
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkRjhV4i7F
“Enjoying yourself, Ophelia?”1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06mLlka6lV
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dnKXNVaD8
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.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnH6FDOtXSe
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgsy88L9ct
“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.”1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaj0PJ5DSS
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESVUjYfj0D
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.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlv2rQ3ktT
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1mF8Wwtgi
“I thought you were rather eager to go back to Birmingham.” He started, knowing exactly what route to take with her.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbRN28tcOd
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpyHeodXYt
“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.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxrjguMpMc
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHvM0IfWGh
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.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCLndir4q7
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DJjRjO5ra
“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.”1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw99bGcLb3
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnORRzwgbk
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.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlorDFn4dVd
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsIUoO8mYz
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.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUEjGrQQJH
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBRPwhSqt2
“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.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWxslG7qqy
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhtzwnqBiV
“No, of course not. Except maybe a Dementor.” She mumbled, feeling suddenly tensioned with the headmaster questioning her.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaKmKoaAKz
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3Rf0dzEod
“Do you know who saved you, Ophelia?”1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssfqxekIiA
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CuPg4P0eY
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.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVDRLQhhD6
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJI8QiZl8X
“I don’t know. Professor Spinnard? Or maybe Severus?” She asked trying to sound innocent. “My Patronus, even if it ran away?”1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKDAobd7ZC
Dumbledore raised one eyebrow elegantly and shook his head.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8Bj1F9ROT
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmoCwBYZWn
“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.”1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr5S8RqRGk
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkhQnFA5YW
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.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeTnMxq8Mf
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATzxJokN9Q
“Someone else heard us and came to help. Someone who was already in the forest, watching.” She answered hesitantly.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6WE6XTgJH
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUDXLWJ5tN
Dumbledore chuckled and nodded before he leaned in a bit.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdm6BMS4PWA
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6t0HIMUcCE
“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.”1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvjT2oIHQ7
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjowyGjwq22
“What person?” She asked, getting confused even though Dumbledore’s eyes seemed to get darker.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyVRYDEaDS
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwOm0k4XxK
“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.”1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDXfzadLuJ
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCCpaxkuks
“But then-“ She stopped, knowing that she was going to give herself away if she’d speak more.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXrU5h9nAd
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TnbGbBECw
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.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGVFJJKCc0
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31w8yFdLtb
“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.”1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyl9cAVwYS6
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHuhqM3Bwn
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.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUzKa5u47K
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVDCO7rafO
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.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5nODJQ07R
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL26LHgBito
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.
