Chapter 2
They had started with Occlumens.
“Now, concentrate Miss Weasley and ignore that ridiculous notion that Potter and you will end up together,” Snape said sarcastically.
Ginny seathed, but determinedly continued to concentrate.
“Legillimens!”
Despite Snape’s efficiency in muttering the spell, Ginny was ready for it. “Protego!”
Images of Snape’s childhood flooded her mind, some were ones that she had seen through Harry’s eyes and others were entirely new. What seemed to be his first kiss with a very pretty blonde girl with grey eyes, anger at that girl’s marriage to an equally blonde male who very much resembled Lucius Malfoy, triumph over his NEWT results, and an image that she didn’t think would ever happen – seeing her two friends, including her potential boyfriend attacking him in what appeared to be the Shrieking Shack back when she was in second year. This was before Snape could even get his counter-attack in place to block her out.
It occurred to Snape that not even Dumbledore himself had been able to get the better of him in a counter-attack than this youngest Weasley child in front of him. Given that he had not even time to be able to delve into her thoughts before she reversed it onto him, gave him reason to believe that she was ready to learn Legillimens. Given that it was only three weeks after they had started the lessons, Snape could sense her potential and despite himself, continued the lessons moreso out of curiosity than necessity.
Ginny on the other hand knew the potential for such a gift and knew that even if the lessons had to be with Snape, she would overcome his sarcastic gibes and remarks and prove to him that she was better than he at the skills that he was teaching her.
It soon seemed that nothing Snape threw at the youngest Weasley would dislodge the determination of her learning the discipline. He could only commend her on this and reasoned that she was a great example to her house, despite his distaste towards it.
After the lesson, he said, “Next week, we start Legillimency.”
Ginny couldn’t help but smile at this. “I’ve proven enough that I’m capable of Occlumency, is that it?”
Snape knew he had to tread very carefully with the girl in front of him. She was half his age yet he knew that she was put in her house for a reason. She had tenacity and did not shirk from a confrontation, something of which he was not accustomed to. He had always prided himself of being able to get the upper hand without even trying but as these lessons continued, he soon realised that he would have to try a lot harder to be able to disconcert her.
Not really knowing what else to say, he muttered quietly, “Yes, Miss Weasley, I believe you are.”
She grinned, not quite knowing why when it was Snape whom she was grinning at but said, “Same time next week?”
“I believe so, unless something happens that the time has to be changed.”
“Okay then. Bye, Professor Snape.”
“Goodbye, Miss Weasley.”
Snape turned back to the pile of second year essays that were on top of his desk. There was something about the girl that was slightly disturbing. She was not like it in the Potions classroom but she was like it in his office. It could be said she was much bolder, perhaps because she did not have to prove anything in his office as she did in the classroom. This was a gift that came naturally to her, despite Albus’ words that she was like it in the classroom.
Potions did not come as easily to her as Occlumency did. If anything, she was becoming very cocky with her newfound skill.
This was something that Snape knew he would have to overcome. It was not until the second Legillimency lesson that he found a way to do it.
