Just Another Day in Potions Class

“What is going on?!” Severus demanded looking very angry, but his, her?, manor was softened by the softer face. While Severus had never been considered overtly handsome nor extraordinarily ugly his new form was most definitely beautiful. She still had her trademark prominent nose but it was smoother somehow fitting her face better, obsidian eyes were just as intelligent and just as fierce but with a softer edge. Pallid skin was not a smooth porcelain and once greasy black hair now fell in soft silky waves down to a trim waist. It was like a bad romance movie Lupin thought staring at the vision that had been Severus Snape eyes riveted on now pointed ears and trying to quell the inane desire to run his tongue over the those tantalizing ears. Madam Pomphry finished all her diagnostic scans and looked at the irate potions master;

“Well Severus you appear to be in perfect health except for the obvious erm gender change...And well do you have any elf blood in your family?” she asked looking at Severus.

“Yes but...oh...” she murmured, and fell silent looking between the Head nurse and Headmaster,

“On my mothers side, theres a rare line of female elves that is only expressed in females.” Severus said raising a delicate hand to rub the pointed ear. Remus found himself watching the movement with an almost sick fascination, what was wrong with him? The werewolf shook his head slightly and turned to look at the headmaster.

“I suppose that means this wasn't a superficial change, it changed even my DNA. Even brewed incorrectly the potion we were making in class couldn't do this. In fact there is a very small percentage of potions that even brewed correctly could cause this level of change...” Severus continued on, musing aloud and shaking her beautiful head.

“What shall we do Headmaster?” He asked looking questionably at Dumbledore.

“I believe that Severus Snape shall have to leave...for some reason personal emergency or some ought and his delightful sister shall come take his place since it is such short notice. Perhaps you should choose a new name that will suit your new form my bo...dear.” he said eyes twinkling,

“Of course you'll get a week or two to adjust to your new form, and perhaps shop for a new wardrobe, it would be suspiciously convenient for you to arrive in a day.” he finished with a delighted smile. Severus scowled, Remus had to hide a grin she looked so cute! No...he did not just think of Severus Snape as cute.

“A new name?” Severus said aloud, “Yes I guess that's in order.” she acquiesced. Dumbledore looked insufferably pleased when she voiced this thought and grinned horribly.

“What about something simple? Like Amy, May, or Mary!” He suggested with a grin. Severus merely glared at him spitefully.

“Severa?” he said and smiled when Severus made a very rude gesture in response.

“Carys?” Remus suggested softly, surprising himself. Where had that come from? She cocked her head looking thoughtful.

“Carys Snape... I like it.” she said with a small smile, the small movement that was often missed under Severs' old glower made her face light up and if possible seem even more beautiful.

“Excellent, I'll draw on a few favors and make sure that Carys Snape a rather withdrawn sibling of one Severus Snape exists by the time you return to your teaching post. No doubt you will work hard to determine the origin of you change as well but for now you may as well accept it. I suggest that you stay at the leaky cauldron and start making a small repertoire with the residents of Diagon alley while we sort this mess out. Perhaps you could finally rid you wardrobe off all that black....” The headmaster said with a horrendously happy smile and waved his wand. Transfiguring the hospital wing gown into a somewhat tasteful dress, the dipping neck line and swooping skirts however were more suited to a formal setting than where she planned to go. She retried her wand and cut the gown to a more reasonable knee length and made the neck line much more conservative but not without some taste. She left it the pleasant red wine color merely to placate the headmaster who grinned.

“Perhaps we should come up with a story why I'll be staying in Diagon alley before my... 'brother's' disappearance?” She suggested looking at Dumbledore expectantly. It was rather amusing to make the old man come up with everything, a small but of payback for the long years of working under him.

“We'll call it your vacation, and say that you'll relay the emergency notice to Severus. Now go one get a room and settle in. I'll have a bank account ready for you within the hour, I presume you have enough currently to reserve a room?” He said with that annoyingly consistent grin. She nodded.

“Excellent, the floo is open please feel free.” he said and she rolled her eyes. Waving her wand briefly to summon a travel bag, with whatever money she had lingering about in her rooms and stepped into the floo with the simple destination of the 'Leaky Cauldron.'

A.N: Ok I know that this chapter is really really short and I apologize for that but I wanted to post something for this story to assure whomever is watching it that I am in no way abandoning it. I simply have had little to know time to write lately. Also! I KNOW there will be grammatical errors...I just fixed up an old desktop computer and downloaded open office because the word trial expired and Open office doesn't have much of a grammatical check so I apologize before hand for that.
… I wanted to say something else but as always I seem to have forgotten...
Oh! I'm giving a tentative update schedule to this story as every weekend, Saturday or Sunday whichever I don't work. =) And I would like to point out in the conversation with my friend in the first chapter (Which I moved to the bottom I felt it might've scared some readers away...XD) my friend is demanding the next chapter of The Engagement Kiss, the first of my fics I let her read so the paring for this story is Severus/Remus not Severus/Harry. Alright thats all for now, sorry for my rambling.
