Chapter Three – Potions

The morning had been rainy and Cassie had been dreading Potions all day. There was nothing worse than going into the dungeons on a day that was already dreary. As much as she cared for Professor Snape, nothing could brighten the mood cast by the cold granite walls of the potions chamber.

But if it wasn’t for Snape, she knew she would never have been able to gain control of her emotions and shutter away the powers that had threatened to engulf her as a child. The private occlumency lessons with him had been her saving grace. The lessons continued but were now focused on learning to control her powers instead of them controlling her. She had kept her mind locked against others for so long that now she was finding it impossible to reach out and touch the mind of another.

But those lessons were conducted in her room not the dungeon. No, she was here now, for her potions lesson with the fifth years…And even her gratitude to Snape wasn’t making the descent down the dungeon stairs any easier. The one bright spot was seeing George in the hall before class. He had said to meet him in the Great Hall at dinner. With that in mind, she began the long journey down the stairway in to Potions.


Sorry so short,
