My Only Light (Severus Snape Fanfic)

Classes & Wands

My alarm went off around 6:30. Breakfast was going to be served at 7:30 and immediately after breakfast class starts. I had herbology with Anna, transfiguration, charms, divination, defense against the dark arts, and potions. I put on my black skirt along with ripped up leggings underneath it, my black long sleeve that has "Love is pointless" and finally my school robe. I don't really like the robe as much even if its black. I slide on my black high tops and left with Anna.

When I got to the dining hall everyone was already eating. It was only 8:35. I sat down at the end of the table knowing that's where I'll always sit and Anna sat next to me. I picked up an orange and started to peel it. "Hey Mercy". Draco stood behind me.

"Draco". I nodded turning; yet again he sat next to me.

"Who is this"? He gestured towards Anna.

"I'm Anna Summers, and you're Draco?" She smiled shyly.

"Yep" He seemed to blush. I rolled my eyes and went to get coffee leaving my orange on the plate.

I walked around the hall finding no coffee. I sat back down by Anna. "Why is there no coffee is this damn place? I muttered.

"They don't serve coffee its bad for you". Chimed Anna.

I felt defeated so I pulled out my wand and summoned a coffee mug and thought for a minute on what kind of coffee I wanted. I taped the glass and warm black coffee appeared. I sipped.

I heard my name being called and looked towards Dumbledore. I grabbed my coffee and walked towards him at the staff table.

"Ahh miss Mercy, where did you learn that?" Dumbledore asked.

I rolled my eyes. "When I nine I suppose, you don't have any coffee at this school, I need coffee".

"You seem very intelligent, could you make me a cup of coffee? He gave a half smile.

"Uhm, sure and thank you I taught myself everything I know from books." I tapped the desk and a cup with coffee appeared.

"You didn't say any words?" I man with short blonde hair looked stunned.

"I don't need to, my mind matches my wand I guess." I showed him my wand.

"May I see your wand". The man asked.

Dumbledore told me his name was Remus Lupin the DADA professor. I looked him over and gave him my wand.

"Such a beautiful wand, do you know your core?" Lupin asked.

"Yes it's Thestral tail hair" I took my wand back.

Dumbledore looked at me in surprise. "Your wand core is one of the only 2 Thestral tail hairs there is in existence." He stated.

"Wow.. Really?" I asked.

"Yes Miss Nox, and I have the other." Dumbledore pulled out his wand. I knew it upon looking at it.

"The Elder Wand, you have it all along". I muttered.

Professor Snape coughed after listening in on our conversation and left. It was almost time for my first class. I bade my goodbyes and left.

I turned the corner and ran into someone, I stood up and brushed myself off before I started rambling. "You stupid little twit watch where your- I immediately stopped in my sentence when I looked up and saw his deep black eyes flashing deadly into my grey ones. "I'm sorry sir, I didn't mean, I thought you were a student." I finished still staring at him.

"Why don't you take your own advice Miss Nox and watch where your walking." Snape glared me down.

"Excuse you". I scoffed.

"Is that an attitude"?

"Well yeah, you ran right into me, you should watch where your walking"! I was yelling in anger.

"Detention Miss Nox, you do not talk to a professor like such. He growled.

I threw my hands in the air and walked away to my class. "Great not even been in one classroom and already have detention. I'm off to a great start" I thought.

My classes passed by slowly I knew everything they were already teaching, my herbology professor Mr. Slughorn doesn't like me since I knew more ingredients than he did, the only good part was Anna was in that class. When I got to DADA Professor Lupin gave me weird looks at how intrigued I was. Then came the worst class of all Potions... My favorite subjects were DADA and potions and yet it seemed like I was gonna hate it.

I was the first one into the potions classroom and slid into the very last chair in the far corner. Professor Snape looked up as students filled his room. Draco was in this class as well and he sat right next to me. This is going great.

"How are you in advanced Potions Draco?" I stared at him.

"I'm good at them." Gloating I decided to be nice for once.

"Oh, that's great I have all advance classes". I replied.

Snape snapped up from his desk after everyone sat down. "Advanced potions are no silly matter, you could very well die if not using the right ingredients, herbs, stirring or heat levels, with that being said open your books and read through the first chapter study the herbs and items used to complete a Veritaserum potion. Can anyone tell me what Veritaserum is?". No one raised there hands.

I slowly put mine in the air. "Yes Miss Nox"? He looked annoyed.

"Its a potion used to get the truth out of someone, though not an uncommon potion but is forbidden to be used against ones will, but I don't understand why you can't use it to get the truth from someone if you wanted, people use it if they are allowed, like for instance the dark lord he used it I bet, why can't we use it when we want to know the truth, these halls are full of secrets, one drop and everyone would know everything." After I finished everyone started looking at me in disbelief. I said "the dark lord". I sat back in my chair still staring at Snape.

Professor Snape looked at me in confusion "Correct, Miss Nox, but reframe from speaking of You-Know-Who in this classroom and any other classrooms is that understood?"

"Isn't he gone" I pushed. "Why can't we say his name"? A uncomfortable silence fell around the room as Snape turned around quickly leaning his hands on my desk his face was a few inches away.

"Nox, we don't know if he's really gone for good, so I suggest you follow my rules, 20 points from Slytherin for your arrogance and I'll see you for detention for the next 4 days.".

My breathe caught in my throat. I was nervous. For the rest of the class I studied the potion in the book then wrote down all the herbs and things needed for it in my notebook. After I was done there was only 20 minutes left in class. I decided to pull out my book and read. Muggle literature was my favorite. I was in the middle of A Game of Thrones when class was dismissed. I didn't realize I was the only one in the room until Professor Snape pushed my book down.

I looked up and stared around. "Uh sorry I was um reading." I stood up and put my book in my bag. "What time does my detention start?" I asked.

"6:30 sharp for the 3 days, the last 2 days be here after supper since its the weekend". Snape walked to his desk and sat down scribbling his quill against parchment.

I did my homework on my bed not wanting to be bothered. Potions which was my last class got over at 4:30; it was only 5:30, I had one hour until my detention with Snape which by the way is an hour and half long, dinner was at 7:30 so I decided to go for a walk around Hogwarts.
