They continued to rant and rave about Snape till they reached the Gryffindor tower where they gave the password and entered. Hermione started to lead Selene up to their dorm when they saw Remus Lupin standing by the fire.
“Miss Rayne, may I have a word with you.” Remus said softly.
“What is it with me being spoken to by the teachers?” moaned Selene, as she walked over to him, withdrawing another folder from her bag. “I assume you want to know what level I’m at. Correct, Professor?”
“No, just wanted to speak to you about your mother Luna Rayne. I knew her when she was in school here.” Remus whispered softly.
“You knew my mom?” asked Selene, as she placed her folder back into her bag and placed it by her feet. “My mom rarely talked about her time here at Hogwarts. But there were probably a few things that she kept from me.”
“I knew her quite well. She was my girlfriend when I was here as a student in our last year that is. We never started dating till the last year.” Remus said.
“Hello headmaster,” Hermione spoke up, seeing the headmaster walking into the common room and towards them.
“Hello Miss Granger. Professor, I require a word with Miss Rayne about her . . . studies,” Professor Dumbledore requested.
“Yes, headmaster,” Selene nodded as they walked out of the common room.
Remus was about to go out the door when the door opened again revealing Selene walking back in. “I will be seeing you tomorrow for class, Miss Rayne. Good night,” And with that said, he walked out of the tower and headed down the stairs.
“I think we are going to have a good year. Come on, Selene, I’ll show you to our dorm rooms and we can get to sleep as we have a busy day tomorrow.” Hermione said, as the two girls went hurrying up the stairs to their dorm rooms.
The next morning, the DADA class was just about to start when Remus Lupin walked down from his office. He quickly made them read chapter one of their books while he sorted out a few projects for them to do over the next semester. He did a quick head count of all the students that was there as he remembered them from his previous time as their teacher. He smiled slightly when he looked at Selene before he turned to look at the others.
The class went smoothly except for the occasional complaint from the Slytherins about why they were being taught by a dark magical creature. But Remus and the other students didn’t mind or even gave attention to them beyond answering raised hands.
“Now I want you to read chapter two and if anyone has any problems with chapter two subjects please make notes and we will review them come next class. Class dismissed,” Remus stated, as everyone started to pack up their books in their book bags and walk out of the class.
“Which class is next?” asked Rayne, looking at her schedule.
“Double potions with the Slytherins, our House rivals.” Ron moaned out.
The students walked into class and took their seats. Snape watched as they took their seats. “Miss Rayne, you will seat with Crabbe and be his partner this semester.”
“Yes, professor Snape.” Selene stated as she stood up and walked to where Crabbe was who waved at her.
Hermione just rolled her eyes. “I do not believe this but I think Crabbe has a crush on Selene. Did you just see what he did - a Slytherin waving to a Gryffindor?”
“Miss Granger, five points from Gryffindor for talking in class. If you want to lose more points do continue on?” hissed Snape. He waved his wand over the chalkboard. “The assignment is on the board and it will be brewed for the entire semester and at the end of this semester, we will test it and I will grade how you did. The potion is the Strengthening Solutions.”
Selene took out her notebook and quickly wrote down the instructions before going with Crabbe to gather the ingredients as the others went by her side and wished her luck as she was with one of the worst students in potion. She looked at Crabbe and asked, “Are you really what they call a bad student in potions?”
”Well, I am not that good at potion but I can hold my own,” Crabbe stated softly.
“Well, this semester, you will start getting better. With me as your partner, you will start to do better,” Selene stated.
“I hope so. My dad was a fair potion creator but Snape is by fair the best one I have seen,” he replied.
“I hope we can do okay with this potion. This is a potion I never really touched on before.” Selene whispered, as she started to cut up some of the ingredients on her cutting board.
They worked in relative silence as Snape walked around the class making sure that they were doing their potions right. He didn’t even sneer when he looked at Rayne and Crabbe’s potion, he just nodded slightly before he moved on to the next pair.
Selene noticed the look of shock coming from Hermione and Harry. She bent over to Crabbe and whispered, “Why did Professor Snape nod at our potion and shake his head at Hermione and Harry’s? Their potion is looking better than ours at the moment,”
Crabbe looked over at their potion and then at the one they were doing. “Snape is a Slytherin, and favors his house more than the others. But our potion is doing really good. He must have seen it changing from the light green color to the darker green that it should be. Hush now, he is coming this way,” Crabbe turned his attention back to the potion and held his ladle in preparation to stir the potion when it was time to do so.
“Class, if your potion has turned to a darker green color, stir your potion till I say to stop.” Professor Snape stated as most of the class stirred their potion as they were instructed to do.
Snape went to his desk and sat down before he barked off to the class to halt their stirring and to start cleaning up their work spot of any bottles, roots not used and basically get their cauldron’s fire put out so the potion will start to cool down so they could be transferred to the cauldron’s in the other room where they would remain till their next Potion class.
After the class was over, Ron, Hermione and Harry waited for Selene to come out of the Potion room, only to see her walking with Crabbe holding her books for her.
“Thank you, Crabbe for helping me picking up my books; I couldn’t believe that I tripped over that discarded root. Someone didn’t clean up their work spot very well. Anyways, I better hurry, the next class is going to be called soon and I shouldn’t be late for it. Thanks,” Selene said, as she hurried towards Charms with Harry, Ron and Hermione by her side.
“Crabbe, are you getting sweet on a Gryffindor?” asked Malfoy in his usual cold drawl.
“No, I’m not.” Crabbe replied, turning to look at Draco.
“Well, you better not, she’s one of our house rivals and we don’t like them,” Malfoy replied, as he headed to their next class.
At lunch, Crabbe couldn’t help but to look at Selene at the Gryffindor table. Malfoy thought he was acting strange showing interest in a girl and teased him about it. Crabbe would turn his attention away from Selene to his books or to his meal.
Ron whispered, “Crabbe was looking at you, Selene. But he’s not anymore; I think Draco doesn’t like how his goon is showing interest in a girl and a Gryffindor at that.”
Selene acted like she was pulling a book from her book bag and glanced over at the Slytherin table to see Crabbe looking in her direction. She sat up straight and placed her book on the table after she pushed aside her plate and spoke, “I’m finished with my meal, now. Thank you for a delicious lunch,” the plate vanished as soon as she finished. Selene turned to Ron and whispered, “I noticed. He’s okay but not that way. He is a rival to this house and I will not get involved in house rivalries just because he’s a boy. I’m not even interested in dating.”
They started to talk about their next class when Professor McGonagall came to their table and spoke, “Would Ms. Rayne come with me please?”
“Yes, Professor,” She stood up and walked away from their table to the hallway where they spoke for several minutes and Selene returned to her chair.
“Anything wrong?” asked Harry.
Selene shook her head. “Not really, just wanted to know how I was doing with the classes. The first day of school in a different country, this school is a bit different than the one I went to as we usually don’t have the same classes done at the same time frame that you do.”
“What do you mean different classes at the same time frame?” asked Hermione.
“Well, Potions would be held first while everyone was fully awake, not so close to lunch when your stomach is ruling your mind at the moment. Transfiguration is usually held close to lunch as Charms would be right after lunch, and then the Defense against the Dark Arts is after Charms and then Magical Creatures would be last of all.” Selene stated.
“You will like the teacher for the Care of Magical Creatures. He probably will introduce you to Fluffy,” Ron said.
“Fluffy?” asked Selene.
“Yeah, he’s a three headed dog,” Ron added. “Hagrid named him Fluffy. Nearly killed us in our first year,”
Harry lightly slapped Ron’s head. “Really he didn’t, he was trained to protect the trapdoor and we were considered trespassers by him.”
“A three headed dog is not a typical Magical Creature that most schools have on their property,” Selene stated. “Even in my school, we didn’t have a living one. A photo of one but not a living one, the teacher must be a great wizard.”
“Actually, Hagrid is not a wizard, in his third year he was wrongly convicted of housing a dangerous creature and his wand was broken in half . . . ,” Harry started to say.
“His wand was broken?” interjected Selene. “But how is he working here as a Professor?”
“Well, Headmaster Dumbledore hired him on as a games keeper and keeper of the keys here at Hogwarts till our last Professor of The Care of Magical Creatures decided to retire with what is left of his remaining limbs and hired Hagrid as the new Professor of The Care of Magical Creatures.” Harry said. “His first class was with Hippogriffs and Malfoy insulted one of them and got himself attacked.”
“That was stupid of him to insult a Hippogriff. He’s lucky to have kept all his limbs intact after that,” Selene replied. “I assume they sent the Hippogriff back to the farm where they brought them from for more training and handling?”
“No, they ordered his execution, but he escaped with the known murderer Sirius Black.” Hermione said in a low whisper.
“He escaped with a murderer?” asked Selene. “This is news to me. But who is he? The murderer, what was his crime if you know what he was convicted of?”
“Well, they didn’t really convict him; they threw him in the prison without so much of a trial took the word of a supposed dead wizard as fact and threw him in prison.” Harry stated.
“That’s awful to be placed in prison without a fair trial or even have one for that. I thought England’s wizards would be more civilized than that.” Selene shook her head sadly.
Ron looked at his book he had in his hand. “Well, they were in the middle of a war back then, they probably didn’t have the time to really make a trial and convicted him without one.”
“But that is unlawful? They didn’t give him the proper trial before throwing him to jail.” Selene stated.
Harry looked up at her, something in what she said was right. “What are you saying, Selene?”
“What I am saying is that they should give him a proper trial, it is only fair to him and to the wizardry community to make sure that he is truly guilty of the crime he is blamed for.” Selene replied, looking at Harry.
“I need to see Professor Lupin about something. I’ll be right back.” Harry stated, as he got up from his chair and hurried to the portal and slipped through it.
Selene looked at the portal surprised that Harry left; she turned to look at Hermione and Ron. “Sirius Black is his godfather, Selene and to get his conviction overturned would be great for him.” Hermione informed her.
“He’s Harry’s godfather and he still attains that right to Harry?” Selene asked. Hermione and Ron both nodded. “In Greece, if you are convicted of killing someone, you basically lose all rights and being a godfather to someone would be revoked.”
“Thank Merlin, we don’t live in Greece,” Ron said. “Harry would not be very happy knowing he had to live with his magic hating relatives.”
Stay tuned, the next one is coming as soon as I get it written.
