*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Gwenavere Belafore walked up the steps to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, smiling as she did. No, she didn't attend school there when she was younger, and no, she did know anyone there that she was returning to. She was getting away from America.

Gwen wasn't too tall, only standing 5 foot, 9 inches from the ground, and was of average build. She had deep auburn hair and smokey blue-green eyes, just like her father's. She had a scarlet set of robes on, and lace up black boots.

Walking into the Entrance Hall, Gwen gasped. The place was bigger than she'd imagined. "Even Jerry Lee couldn't describe this one with 'Great Balls of Fire'." she said softly to herself. She made her way to the Headmaster's office, stopping and looking at the paintings along the way. Gwen was amazed by everything in the school that she had seen so far. The paintings and statues of Hogwarts were breathtaking.

After reaching reaching the gargoyle guarding the Headmaster's office, Gwen was nearly out of breath. "Just grand.... I don't remember the password he gave me." she whispered to herself. Not a moment sooner than she did, did a woman, raven black hair pulled up in a bun and square glasses on her nose, walked up and said the password. (Ginger Newts) "Oh, hello." she said, eying Gwen.

"Hi," Gwen glanced at the staircase. "Were you going up?" she asked, pointing up the stairs.

"Oh yes. I am assuming you are as well." the older woman replied, gesturing that Gwen go first. Gwen smiled and walked up the spiral staircase to find an oak door. She knocked politely and heard a muffled "Come in!" from the other side.

Gwen walked in, the woman behind her, and said, "Hello, Professor Dumbledore. I'm Gw--"

"Gwenavere Belafore, the new Charms Mistress." he replied, looking behind her to the darker haired witch and winked. He took Gwen's hand and kissed it in a very gentlemanly way.

"Yes, I am." she replied, shaking his hand after he kissed hers.

I see you're busy," the woman behind Gwen said, turning to leave. "I'll come back when you're not." With that, she left, closing the door behind her before either of the other occupants in the room could argue.

"Um...So, how are you, Headmaster?" Gwen asked, taking a seat in front of his desk.

"Oh, please. Call me Albus." he said, offering a sherbet lemon. "Care for one?"

"Alright, Albus, Yes, thank you." Gwen replied, taking a sweet. "They're quite addictive." She smiled.

"Yes, they are." Albus chuckled. "I'm doing well. The Minister of Magic drops his hat, and I have to go over and pick it up, dust it off, and place it on his head so he'll stop crying, but that is normal business. And you?"

"Oh, I'm doing alright." she answered, grabbing her handkerchief out of her pocket and sneezing. "Getting adjusted to the climate around here. I'm not used to the...well, whatever it is, I'm not used to it." She laughed softly.

"Yes," Albus nodded. "Scottish weather can be quite difficult to get used to if you're not from around here."

"Oh yeah." She laughed softly again. "New Orleans' weather is a bit more humid and hot." She sneezed again. "I think I should be making my way to my rooms." She stood and shook his hand again. "Um...Where are my rooms?"

"Ah, yes." Albus chuckled and popped another sherbet lemon in his mouth. "The door behind your desk in your office. You're classroom is on the 3rd floor. There is a sign." He smiled.

"Thank you, sir. Have a good day." She said this and finished her goodbye, then left for her classroom.

This is going to be an interesting year. she thought as she found the 3rd floor, and walked into her classroom.

It had two book shelves, an oak desk, and an oak chair. She smiled and pulls five little bags out of her pockets. She cast an enlarging charm on them and floated them into her rooms. Very interesting indeed.

Author's Note: I promise, this will go somewhere. I'm just having troubles writing. Review please! It will help me update faster.

[Tabby67]

Author's Note: Woohoo! eheh....sorry about that. I'm a little insane right now. Anyhoo, thanks for all who've reviewed. I would hug you, but I have no clue where yall live. Mkay, so....here's chapter two! More will come soon. REVIEW! ;D

Dedication: This chapter's for crystalpheonixeyes and angelllyons24. Keepin yall in my prayers!

It had been 2 weeks since Gwenavere started teaching at Hogwarts, and she couldn't be happier. Well, that wasn't true. She could be much happier. The New Moon was in 3 days and she had no potion for her transfomation.

But other than that, she was happier than she'd been in a while.

Gwen sighed as she let her last class of the day out. She walked behind her desk and into her private rooms. She summoned her vodka and took a sip. Who's the Potion's Master again? she thought, walking to the Headmaster's office. She knocked and recieved no answer. Deciding he hadn't heard, Gwen opened the door and quickly slammed it shut again, but not before shieking a "Oh Merlin!"

Gwen practically ran back to her office and sat behind her desk, shaking her head the entire way. "Why didn't I just leave when he didn't answer?" she asked herself, not hearing someone walk in.

"Because you're you, Gwen" she heard Emerelda Echo, the school Quittich Mistress, say as she took a seat in front of Gwen. "What's wrong?"

"I walked in on the Headmaster." she muttered, summoning her finest Irish Scotch and taking a long sip. "And his Deputy."

Emse errupted in laughter. "You did?!" she said, nearly falling out of her chair.

"Um...How is that funny?" Gwen asked, drinking more scotch. "I never wanted to see that. They're my bosses. My Superiors. My grandparents' age." Gwen couldn't help herself. She was laughing just as hard as Esme.

"What's so funny?" Cleopatra Ptolemy, the Muggle Studies professor asked, walking into Gwen's office and closeing the door behind her.

"Gwen walked in on Albus and Minerva." Esme said, putting her head on Gwen's desk.

"Um, not finding the humour." Cleo said, walking over to the two laughing women.

"Never mind," Gwen said, straightening up. She organised her desk a bit, then stood up when she heard a knock at her door. She opened it to find a flushed Albus Dumbledore and Minerva McGonagall. "May we have a private word?" Albus asked, pulling her out into the hall gently. When the door shut, Cleo raced to it and put her ear to it.

"Yes, Albus?" Gwen asked, feeling her cheeks warm up with a blush.

"Was it you who opened my door without knocking?" Albus replied in question, his eyes not twinkling like they normally did.

"No sir. I knocked. You didn't reply, so I assumed you hadn't heard. I opened the door to see if you were alright, as you normally reply on on knock." She looked over at Minerva, whom's face hadn't returned to it's normal colour.

"Well, I was perfectly fine." he said, the twinkle returning. "Well, I don't know. Minerva," He turned to his Deputy. "Was I fine?"

Gwen attempted to stifle a laugh, but failed terribly. She leaned against the wall and laughed until there was tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry, Minerva, but," she said, laughing still. "you should have seen your face!"

Minerva glared at the witch and said quietly, "Albus, Miss Belafore doesn't need to know about our private life." With that, she stormed back to her office.

"I'm sorry for intruding, Albus." Gwen said, looking down.

"It's alright," he replied, placing a hand on her shoulder. "I forgot to lock the door." He chuckled. "It's happened before, and she always reacts the same way. Unless it's a student. Then we just alter their memory." He smiled. "Well, I'll leave you to your work." he said, walking back to his office.

Gwen grabbed the door knob to her office and flung it open, causing Cleopatra to fall out and onto the castle floor. "Snoop." Gwen said, offering her hand to her friend. Cleo accepted it and dusted herself off once she was on her feet. Esme was just laughing, colapsed on a desk, gasping for air. "I didn't find it at all funny." Cleo said, taking a seat in front of Gwen's desk.

"You're face before you fell..." Esme panted. "It was absolutely priceless." She regained her comosure and took a seat next to Cleo. "So," Gwen said, pouring her friends each a shot of scotch. "what are you two here for?"

"A chat." they replied at the same time. Gwen cocked an eyebrow. "What are you two up to?" she asked, knocking back her shot and refilling her glass.

"Nothing." they replied again at the same time. Gwen looked at them curiously, then said, "I want to know. Now" She looked over her glasses and gave them a look that could rival Minerva's famous glare.

"Cleo, tell her what you're up to." Esme said, looking at her shot of scotch.

"What?" Cleo looked over at her, her jaw hanging open. "No, you tell her."

"No." Esme shot back. "You do it. It was you're idea."

"Excuse me." Gwen said, stopping the bickering. "I don't have time for this. I have to go to the Dungeons to get a potion. You can come with , or sit here. Your choice." With that, she stood, shot back her second shot, and walked down to the Dungeons for an important meeting with the Potions Master.

I know, short little piece again. I promise, It will be worth the wait for the next update. Review please. I love to hear the feed back of my readers. It makes me smile.

~Branda~

[Leaves of Green]

You've got Esme, You've got Cleo but what ever happened to that lovely Astronomy teacher? *lol* I'm sure she would liven up the story. (Or maybe make it dull.) Other than that little detail, I love it! *Hugs* Yay! (But Andromeda would liven it up!)

[kankulex]

Ay Yes! I just discovered this story! Nice start, really! I can just imagine opening the door and seeing ADMM... yep.. that's something JKR should have written.
Looking forward to more!

[Tabby67]

Author's Note: I know I know...I should have had this up MUCH sooner. I haven't had any inspiration. Blame the muse. His name is John, because John is SO much better than Bob. (For those who are thinking of a certain Smilin' Bob, good job. Your hit the nail on the head. ) Reviews are HIGHLY appreciated, so...Without further adieu, here's chapter 3!

Gwenavere walked quickly down to the Dungeons and to the Potion's Master's office. She straightened her robes and knocked quickly on the door. She heard a disgruntled moan and a squeak of a chair before the door flung open to reveal a messy haired Severus Gregory Snape. "May I help you?" he asked, very clearly annoyed with her being there.

"Yes," Gwen replied, listening for her friends' footsteps. "May I come in? I'd rather not discuss this out in the open."

"Of course, come in." he replied, gesturing for her to enter his office.

Gwen walked in and sat in front of his desk, crossing her arms and legs. He had numerous things in jars along his walls and a few cauldrons here and there. She took a quick glance around he room then smiled a him. "Well, I think it would be polite if I told you why I'm down here, no?" she said, her smile still gracing her features.

Severus just cocked an eyebrow. "Well, I haven't all day."

Gwen uncrossed her arms and put them in her lap. "Well, I need a potion." she said, her gaze resting on her hands. "It's for a...condition of mine. The potion is similar to Wolfsbane, but you have to add a drop of human blood per 7oz of the Wolfsbane." She hoped to any higher power that he wouldn't ask what it was for.

"That is a rather odd concoction to request. May I inquire why you need such potion?" The dark haired man cocked an eyebrow.

Gwen sighed, shifting in her chair. "I...I have uvamrethy. It's a condition similar to both lyc--" she began, but Severus held up a hand. "I know of the condition, but I have never met someone who has it." He stood and walked around his desk, leaning against the front of it. "If I may, how did you...um..." He was at a loss for words.

"Become the monster I am, perhaps?" Gwen offered, memories of her previous transformations coming into her mind.

"No...No no. Not a monster. How did you come across this condition?" he asked, a flicker of...something in his eyes.

"My ex fiance bit me." she said softly, pulling her sleeve up to reveal to small, red scars on her wrist. "The perfect gentleman." she muttered.

Severus was entranced by the marks, examining them to detail. He took her hand between his and looked at the odd colouring of her scars. "Interesting." he mumbled, returning to his seat. "I should have your potion ready before your transformation. New moon?" He pulled out a piece of parchment and a quill, writing down the information he needed.

"Yes, sir." she said, smiling. "New moon. 2 weeks." Gwen stood up, extending her hand to shake it. Severus smiled lightly, taking her hand and kissing the back of it. Gwenavere smiled, looking down for a moment then clasped her hands together. "Well, I'll let you get back to your work. Have a nice day, and...Thank you." Gwen smiled again, then left the cold dungeons and the Potions master.

Where is he? Gwenavere thought as the last day before her transformation turned into night. She ran out to the forest as quickly as she could, her shoes coming off somewhere along the way. She groaned as the first pains of transformation hit her. Sinking to the ground near a tree, Gwen leaned heavily against it.

Footsteps sounded near her and she grabbed for her wand. "Gwen, it's just me." she heard a familiar voice. "Cleo, no! Go back to the castle!" Gwen replied, trying to warn her friend.

"No, Gwen." Cleo shot back , kneeling next to her friend. "I won't leave you to your demons."

"CLEOPATRA PTOLEMY! GO!" Gwenavere shouted. "At least go get Severus!" She arched her back and screamed loudly, pain coursing down her back. Cleo nodded, running as fast as she could to the Potions Master's rooms. She got there faster than expected and pounded on the door with her fist. "SEVERUS! Get your ass out here!" she screamed, banging on the door again. The darker haired man swung the door open, his eyes blood shot and his hair messy. "Yes, Cleo?" he asked, leaning against his door frame.

"Gwen needs you! It's a NEW MOON." Cleo explained, shoving him into his rooms and throwing his cloak at him. It took Severus a second to understand what she meant before he grabbed the potion that was needed and ran toward the Dark Forest.

Gwen screamed again as her backbone felt as if it was breaking into. Suddenly, a pair of strong arms wrapped around her roughly and a vial pressed against her lips. "Drink." commanded Severus, hiding his nervousness with sternness. Gwen did as she was told and quickly swallowed the disgusting potion, then growled. Her eyes went as dark as coal and she screamed with an ear-splitting tone. Severus watched her eyes, his hand already wrapped around his wand. When her eyes returned to their natural blue-green colour, he sighed and helped her sit up. "Are you alright?" he asked softly, brushing a strand of hair out of Gwen's face.

"Yeah... I think so." she replied softly, her chest rising and falling quickly as she breathed. "I need to get to my rooms."

Severus nodded, picking her up and holding her close to his chest. "Cleo, show me the way to her rooms." he said, his eyes dropping to the woman in his arms, then back at the witch in front of him. Cleo nodded, noticing the small flicker of something in the man's eyes as he looked at the witch in his arms. They walked through some of the unused corridors to keep the students' minds stilled and the curiosity down. The heard a thud come from one of the doors in the corridor and Severus tightened his grip on Gwen. "Cleo, we should hurry." he said softly.

"Shh!" she said, placing her ear against the door, her eyebrow raised. He face had a relived look on it that quickly turned to disgust. "It's the Room of Reqirement...And Albus and Minerva are inside." Cleo shuttered and motioned for them to continue down the hallway.

Once at Gwen's rooms, Cleo opened the door and ushered Severus in. He walked quickly to the bedroom, oddly already knowing where it was, and laid Gwenavere down on it gently. He sat next to her and cast a few charms on her to check her health, then sighed and leaned back against the headboard. "Well, that was interesting." he said, running his fingers through his hair.

"You like her, don't you?" Cleopatra asked suddenly. Severus cocked an eyebrow, his brain racing to find an answer. "No...Well, yes. As a friend. Nothing more."

"Uh huh...Sure." She rolled her eyes and sat next to him. "I can watch out for her tonight."

"No, that's alright. I'll do it." he replied, looking over at her. "You have class in the morning, I presume. I have a clear schedule all day tomorrow."

Cleo looked at him quizzically, but shrugged and stood. "Whatever you say, Severus. Good night." She leaned over and pecked Gwen on the cheek, the looked at Severus. "Odd one." she muttered, ruffling his hair and walked out the door.

Severus looked up at his hair, sighing and blowing it out of his face. He looked over at Gwen, unconscious from the long night she'd had, and smiled faintly. Perhaps I do like her for more than a friend. he thought, snuggling down on the bed and closed his eyes.

Oh, Gwen was in for a surprising morning.
