On the way back, she couldn’t help but think about Sirius’ last comment. A Slytherin at the core, what was that supposed to mean?1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3LGEH8b8Q

She was already in the hall and the sunrise was still far so she had enough time to sneak in and sleep for a few hours. Unfortunately, she got entangled into her own world and forgot to check out the way therefore, she got perplexed by a sudden ball of light stuck in her face.1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWmqN540i7

“Just like I thought,” Snape found her. He grabbed her by the elbow and dragged her with him.1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVALYpVQkNw
1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGKcWg3siK
“What are you doing? Let me go,” She squirmed, easily breaking away yet the man was bigger than her and caught her again.1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzrOiXoz01

“I told him you will only bring terror to Hogwarts; just like your father did and his friends,” He spat in a low murmur. 1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgCGCjQ1b9

He dragged Eliza to the headmaster, whom wasn’t very surprised to see them barge in.1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddS10fXk8Z

“What is wrong, Severus?” The elder asked yet his eyes were set on the young girl. 1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNH2z3itcM
Eliza frowned when he noticed the little, almost unnoticeable grin the headmaster had. It looked like he had foreseen her breakout.1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjtYjsldgW
1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdjBnxRxY2
“I found Miss Black roaming the halls after midnight while a serial killer is out there, his eyes set on revenge.” Severus spoke with much hatred. She hasn’t done anything of such hatred and wasn’t even sure who the man was.1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJeRRYxe1D
1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYM4IdRoSj
“Is that so,” Dumbledore trailed bemusedly, “I’m sure she will repent on her misbehavior and won’t cause trouble again, correct?” He addressed her, Eliza’s head nodding automatically. “Now, Severus, please let me have a word with Miss Black; alone.”1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVphcQdB3JL
1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EPNxNXYb1
Severus scowled before leaving the room. It was amazing how relieved she felt after that person left.1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzA9XIL8oN

“Professor Severus Snape,” Dumbledore started, getting up from his seat and moving slowly around the table, towards her. “He will take care of today’s Defense against Dark Arts class. I’m sure you only wanted to make sure your godfather is safe and didn’t harm anyone, especially himself. But Eliza, no one can find out you have any connection to Remus or Sirius Black. We don’t want to create even more rumors now, do we?”1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡom8kiSstzc
1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHRu0MF1NY
“No, sir.” She mumbled, linking her arms in front of her. “I just-“She wasn’t sure what to say in her defense.1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnAPeSzdLo
1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzKfeaH4WE
“Have you met him?” Dumbledore asked, lowering his voice to a whisper. 1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOS5BWvSEC
Eliza nodded, a smile uncontrollably creating on her lips. She was truly happy that she met her father. 1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5b1cNymNT
“Is he alright?” Dumbledore continued and she nodded again. “Sirius has always been a character, even when he was a student. He would always create trouble with his best friends but would always protect them, with the cost of a few detentions,” He started bemusedly. Eliza chuckled and walked closer to the headmaster.1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8BNzKJ9wX
1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ590Iu9KSCH
“Why was professor Snape so angry with me? I haven’t done anything bad, only broke a rule or two,” She trailed, realizing that she indeed acted on impulse.1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡns8JpXuvv8
1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKJXP9JP7b
“Lily and Ophelia were two young women that never judged Slytherins. Severus, Lucius and Regulus were the three Slytherins your mother had a soft spot for because of common circumstances,” He finally unveiled the mystery.1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFOu5BqIlg
1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5eG1rKznt
“Lucius Malfoy was there when my mother was murdered. They were friends before,” Eliza mumbled to herself but Dumbledore heard and nodded. “He seemed very offended, for some reason,”1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNQt2pEhZS
1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNJpcDlCdG
“The Black family is of pureblood lineage and they have always been followers of You-Know-Who. Fortunately, your father deceived the lineage and became the first Gryffindor in the history of the family.” He finished, watching her closely.1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBe5dvtjHW
1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡai6A2hp23Q
After what she heard her father say, Dumbledore’s explanation made sense. For the next few minutes, Eliza shifted her weight from foot to foot, thinking how Sirius cheated on the family tradition yet still ended up locked in prison. It wasn’t fair at all, not for him, her mother or her.1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvbFOrhqEq
1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3n8RptHVR
“I understand but why was Malfoy so mad and disappointed? Mom wasn’t a Slytherin,”1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxMeMxkrUP
1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVoBitKaOH
Dumbledore smiled softly and returned to his seat before responding, “That, Miss Black is a secret that can only be discovered in time.”
Next day was horrible for everyone not only Eliza, who only got two hours of sleep and no homework done. She was lucky that she had Neville behind at Muggle Studies and Remus taught her well Transfiguration, getting quite ahead from what she could see. However, when the deadly hour came, she knew Remus was in no condition to teach so there was only one who could replace him: Severus Snape.1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3OHy7Olmp
1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm02xeFzoXt
The whole classroom darkened when he entered, and not only because he actually pulled the curtains. His whole personality seemed to be nasty and rough, like he was venting his frustrations on the students. When his eyes met Eliza’s he scowled and turned towards the rest of the class.1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVCOcaEtLG
1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsxltRiCyW
“Turn to page 394,” He started in a calm yet still angry voice.1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekeG1UM1Fr
1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3BXBsO2mA
Everyone complied, some faster than others who took their time. Eliza was behind Harry when the boy asked what should have been the most logical question. Where was professor Lupin? Everyone was wondering the same thing, especially after how fun his classes have been. Of course, Snape’s answer was rude.1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AO2zyrDL5
1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xaFkaM09i
“That’s not really your concern, isn’t it Potter?” However, he continued, “Your professor found himself incapable of teaching at present time. Turn to page 394. “ He was quite rude and not very patient.1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJdQoKBnP2
1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFemvJf061M
Eliza glanced at the professor over her shoulder, her eyebrows furrowed into a scowl. Harry glanced at Eliza, whose discomfort was very noticeable. Well, he knew how Snape was so it wasn’t a surprise that she hated him already.1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgw64vMFXsA
1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJF9gM79cIj
The subject they were going to study was not exactly a surprise: werewolves. Hermione combated right away, already knowing what they had to study with Remus yet not deepening the subjects they should have learned. Actually, Eliza couldn’t care less as long as the professor would leave and she could go sleep. Ron seemed more surprised and interested in how Hermione appeared suddenly next to Harry. Truthfully, even Seamus was confused since he was standing next to Eliza and they were right behind Harry.1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXuzHhfztA
1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡym84SrlimE
“What’s the difference between an animagus and a werewolf?” Snape started, walking in the front.1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GC52ksIsr
1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1aJNIv2Ke
Eliza’s breath hitched and she looked to the side.1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpKGwuJmdH
1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvfjXMYkpi
The only one who knew the answer or was willing to respond was Hermione who immediately raised her hand. Snape saw her but still asked someone else, anyone.1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UivjGMYBG
1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl29jvUWJo2
Once Hermione responded, forcefully from her part, Eliza leaned back on her seat, feeling paranoid for some reason. She couldn’t keep a straight face as Hermione started to explain the difference between Sirius and Remus. Eliza knew how hard was for a werewolf to keep his consciousness while being in his wolf form; she’s been through that already and she ended up running. But the others, it was only theory for them or even a bedtime story. 1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfykLZ4MOEg
1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyPx2J900L
Worse was the homework, in which Snape was forcing everyone to write a lengthy parchment about werewolves and their traits. The professor was insufferable but Eliza complied and started to pay attention, just in case Dean or Seamus or even Ron would like some extra notes.
“That must have been the most dreading class I had ever listened to,” Eliza moaned when the class was over.1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOx1Iaug33
1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXucZ2SRNE
Ron and Harry agreed but Hermione was mad on how awful she was treated, being called a know-it-all (which wasn’t false but it was rude coming from a teacher who just embarrassed his student in front of the class).1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJNbQoI21Y
1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtq5vZlykP
“Why is he so angry all the time? And why Gryffindors?” She continued to vent, having most Gryffindors at the table agree with her.1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4LzproE9T
1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwLy6NbhjF
“That’s how he’s always been, especially when it comes to Harry,” Dean commented from his side of the table.1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0i4prbVHud
1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklXuE4lDxf
They were in the Great Hall, later that day, and they were doing their homework early because they had Quidditch in the afternoon. Gryffindors against Slytherins, not much of a surprise. Everyone was glaring at everyone and it wasn’t funny at all; Slytherins were acting even worse than on normal occasions.1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcvhkBt2fr
1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVJ0Xouk4n
“Why are they beaming? The match hasn’t even started yet,” She continued, leaning towards Hermione who was next to her.1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYqtQNdz0p
1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSGccdmu4x
“That’s Slytherin for you. Most insufferable house ever,” Ron whispered with hatred from his seat across Hermione and next to Harry.1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpSloSxyHV
1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ibDHJIraY
“But isn’t that very strange? Why werewolves and animagus all of the sudden?” Hermione asked, getting a very subtle reaction from Eliza. 1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPyFXKI6RZ
Thankfully, no one noticed; no one but the house ghost who suddenly appeared right in front of her.1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlH2ug8CbUn
1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLGxS28B6n
“Ain’t you an exact copy of Ophelia Molley!” Headless Nick exclaimed, since he hasn’t really seen Eliza up close. “You, young lady, should be aware of the danger coming. Sirius Black,” He whispered the name right in front of her face, a wide smile making it seem like a joke for everyone else. But he was serious; much like every adult in the castle the ghost knew she was a Black.1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1z6S3GeAZ
1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkF7JySn7z
“Right,” She mumbled, keeping her eyes on him. Suddenly, the ghost laughed loudly and appeared completely, not just his upper half, before leaving with his head hanging to the side.1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbN8g6NjGXc
1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnbxw0ZvBW
“That wasn’t peculiar at all,” Harry mumbled sarcastically, making the rest laugh but not Eliza.
He couldn’t ask her why she suddenly got angry because she got called into Charms for a quick chat about her incredibly bad grades, same with the new assessment for Muggle Studies. 1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbppp5Gnktk
Eliza sighed and stumbled around with a tank of books she had to read and write an essay on by the end of the week. She couldn’t see much so of course, she was bound to stumble upon someone she didn’t want to meet.1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYlLF3cGmp
1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSSrH7I0pP
Her books sprawled at her feet and her right eyebrow twitched. In front of her was Malfoy and his face was the definition of a wolf who found his prey. She sighed and ignored him, getting quickly to gather her stuff. Being a prat, he pointed his wand at her forehead. 1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcy5tKFhip
She raised her head and raised an eyebrow questioningly.1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtig2OtWkI
1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSubAcMZB3
“I thought you can’t use your arm,” She started ironically. “Besides, you’re pointing it for nothing,” She continued.1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtZnS3mCWA
1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl0rLbU2tE
“You want to test that theory?” He snarled, pushing the wand so that it hit her slightly.1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDZU3bTF32
1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jXp1oltqT
“Do it then,” She ordered him firmly. “Vex me. Use the Cruciatus curse, just like you had been taught.”
That sentence seemed to have ticked him off because he mumbled something. She found herself levitating upside down.
“What were you saying, Molley? You don’t seem to understand who you’re talking to,” He sneered.1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0M3UXVBMQ
1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatjmgi9QG3
“And who am I talking to?” She asked, more sarcastically than anything but he brushed that off.1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsZC2Et9Au

Malfoy leaned in and responded coldly, “The Prince of the Slytherin house.”1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpmUbNvMf2
1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByLCb6jNVP
He boasted about his title with so much pride that she couldn’t help but laugh in his face. Malfoy narrowed his eyes at her and pointed the wand at her nose.1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIKISmBqyV
1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcoSzddXLh
“Let’s see if you find it funny if your pretty nose is changed into a snout!” He yelled but he didn’t get the chance to apply it because his wand got pushed aside by an anonymous well doer. The spell broke and she fell on her back, next to her books.1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MxDgXroHh

“Merlin, it hurts like heck,” She mumbled, massaging the back of her neck.1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuD8TozSVCr

“You were saved now but won’t be forever,” Malfoy snapped at her before grabbing his wand and running off.1983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1egArrX4t

Eliza stayed back, dumbstruck. She was sure she didn’t use any spell. Then, who helped her?
