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.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzpYAe5I8d
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjqmQFvLbV
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. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCeqzG3mg6

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. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKfmCWVf1U
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMdJxZBmBj
“It’s been a while hasn’t it? How is our little witch?” He asked, making Ophelia blush without really having a reason why. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzWHY69lt3
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJllZNQuXrP
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. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBt2zEOsiX
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RPSzOwKqy
“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.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtkWVlzwvU
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wr7ppmdLB
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. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUkWEkE62r
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSvqTikHdl
“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.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdLhqKpPTR
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhavcVHFJi8
“Don’t call me that. Just Lillian is fine.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmhUg9MhS1
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGKco48ULg
“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.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrhffDucSC
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHuxBJqk0r
Lillian chuckled when she remarked the confusion over Ophelia’s face. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxEsBger0j
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yKQVB6Zfp
“His Patronus is a dragon. He talks about him as if he were his pet.” Lillian partially joked because, seriously, partially she was right. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWGTT3dR3Y
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AlDY5JlN9
“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.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNncOi9Q6vm
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwIm0zIRNE
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. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TvFb4EjPN
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTinSWUk98
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.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4vvVsGZAo
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkTSHWJK9v
“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.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFVssb2ksG
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHlSEy7MGE
“Are you alright, dear? You woke up so suddenly.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcD7VdtKHV
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWGZQe7zhG
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-1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ExLLNDjyF
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCzTZLVgVb
“Where is Severus?” She asked, yet not moving from the bed. For some reason, she felt like she shouldn’t push the covers off.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkauhs3aVG
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWB9hvKHD7R
Madame Pomfrey smiled softly, worry still in her eyes but something else too.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcehd29bzc
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcloXf8HlPL
“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.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJvJvKJw2x
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrSqo3lTVi
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.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT1nNnMowH
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA7v5kfSiw
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.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMmVEZTALs
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4h6MYmVqi
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.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡattIQzF67j
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTTGcIvQQa
“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.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uLR3RVCBz
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXyIPeFijQ
“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.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnLJKBRqZV
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdh41JsdN1
Professor Spinnard raised an eyebrow and seemed to scan her closely, as if he knew she was hiding something.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHf7gRUw2G
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVrgFIQHeg
“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.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLWKUS12Lj
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqWVQjFE9g
“No.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4F2KvPb5P
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeePhl1wFo
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.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEzClcqyUO
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7zyNkBGcY
“I would prefer if you would leave me alone to rest, prof-“1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfPyBMFYmc
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP7oslUQRN
“Have you finished your homework, Molley? The extra work too?” He interrupted, asking something irrelevant to the matter at hand.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooVa01UE4M
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEm9DsUVtM
“What extra homework?” She asked, taken aback by the sudden change.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6ZAkPRMXW
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiC3K5hNFWJ
“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.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0HssawMyN
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqA3WHKnJJg
“Is that all?” She asked, knowing that it wasn’t such a bad punishment.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEuARR40Qc
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xVVgMmXjy
Professor Spinnard chuckled darkly, linking his arms behind him.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtelFZnzFD
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcf7iogiNo
“Believe me, that’s enough. I have prepared classes especially for you, Ophelia.” He added before he sneered at her and left.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw10PVGdrnf
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdFQfIe98D
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.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbltJKG8V2
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30GKtI80Jf
“Oh, dear! You scared me…”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWMmfDCIcH
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7L41167RP
He looked genuinely scared for some reason and she knew she wasn’t exactly terrifying.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGv3SG50DE
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqHi2uP27Z
“I’m sorry, professor. I was in a hurry to see Severus.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTSyfkjm3u
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78re9ptQTN
“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.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTC3AYfAdMQ
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1g5ZMF4n3e
“I’ll try my best, professor. It’s not going so well for me now so I’m not sure I’ll improve.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6evB4n30X
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDaW9PzbcN
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.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqj1sE9eRkC
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvr4YOXsAQ
“Yes, well you may need a miracle for that to happen.” He trailed, his smile cracking in the corners.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7NFII8QW1
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFAVzsv1tH
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.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUx2VRTx3P
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4Hr0jpbbw
“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.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmSFT5WCul
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DfAz7wew3
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.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNc8K7T8Tr

“You should be upstairs, little girl. The festivity will begin soon.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bXKVWcQ2h
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBmq5s0YAn
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.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBSAnZQRAe
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcLQdjiWx6
“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.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0DTf09SDy
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCiyLFfdu6
“The festivity will begin soon. It’s Christmas, Miss Gaunt.” He added, staring at her closely.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFEFiTDMr1
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMLNgsuhhX
“Miss Gaunt?” She asked, completely taken aback by that name. “I have heard that name before…” She mumbled, scratching her cheek thoughtfully.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPhXwaGYU7
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyVybhgNBa
“Daughter of Lillian Gaunt, aren’t you?” The Baron asked, already knowing the answer.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8oOKVpwfN
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRD72CgjD1s
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. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSx3t4J1sk
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRUOaFSUVC
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.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6mw3VCOOZ
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1ZZxywvWz
“How did I get you?” She mumbled, wondering just how exactly the stone ended in her grasp.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFAAPAGrA3
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzXsD967QQ
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.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB764Wf0Sf
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlk0pYtRHBJ
“Enjoying yourself, Ophelia?”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTPk3EWKQJ
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kJHFj81IS
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.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyZ6MUQCsK
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQj83aJM1QF
“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.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzkREMZEhA
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFa6E79kwcD
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.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxpxKMLfOc
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqY4Klu1Q4
“I thought you were rather eager to go back to Birmingham.” He started, knowing exactly what route to take with her.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJArfScWrA
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfrdd60972
“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.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmE7HxsyF6F
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOnxfosklf
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.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPOTAVBRxS
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8YtZ1Xwhn
“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.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXDc5ZFsE6
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilyBN2BvxC
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.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIImdo8Uy3v
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMe10iBiuHj
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.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN6UcTowjJ
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuLwaYzLuy
“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.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd6WQThjEl
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1O7FMnUs0w
“No, of course not. Except maybe a Dementor.” She mumbled, feeling suddenly tensioned with the headmaster questioning her.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZOs1ai1cJ
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczV1ICa1yl
“Do you know who saved you, Ophelia?”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6ev0Dhs1Y
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5xbnZvBSz
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.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjm4TYDmg3
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmJKMHz9um
“I don’t know. Professor Spinnard? Or maybe Severus?” She asked trying to sound innocent. “My Patronus, even if it ran away?”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbSpwqV5A3
Dumbledore raised one eyebrow elegantly and shook his head.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybP0sFYC6w
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3pzeXDQld
“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.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCXYtFXXsh
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SSgsWbbRj
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.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaHdiXkJVr
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBJtDp5hpH
“Someone else heard us and came to help. Someone who was already in the forest, watching.” She answered hesitantly.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4uw7AGtyI
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH6PMI9WMT
Dumbledore chuckled and nodded before he leaned in a bit.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJyUw80s0o
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjQkVIopv6
“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.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpCHdujVB1
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXfPKeUWLI
“What person?” She asked, getting confused even though Dumbledore’s eyes seemed to get darker.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdmFlYvwCs
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5Cz36aVpZ
“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.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBevad7r7Wt
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVXWxgFp6v
“But then-“ She stopped, knowing that she was going to give herself away if she’d speak more.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBcEC6DX90
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaHVcAFfUs
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.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15FLaOw8Gc
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCdxyfQdx5
“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.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJpQwpDYKO
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6x9CqmLbnL
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.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUei14CaUK3
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgbYFOUrig
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.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QpsUu2Flz
1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MQyQ49dTA
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.
