I was going towards the SD club when I felt some movement behind me. I could not see anyone. I was confused really when I remembered the existence of the invisiblity cloak. I decided to steer of course. I took them to Owlrey and pretended to deliver a letter to someone.
I then went back to my dorms. There was still an hour before our meeting. I can make it in time. But why were they following me. I was wondering how to go out when I saw something incredible.

"Just what I needed. I accept Neptuno." I said. Though I was really scared because of the warning I still wanted to give it a try.
I turned myself into lilith and went to the SD club. No one was following me this time. Phew. But why me? I haven't had any interactions with them. Before entering I turned back into myself secretly before entering.
"You are late." Amelia said.
"I was being followed." I simply replied.
"By who." Kinsley asked, voice sharp clearly concerned about our secret being revealed.
"Don't know, but I prefer to take precautions than to let it go as my overthinking and then regret it later." I said.
"Makes sense. We will look into it. Congratulations again on learning occlumency. Though weak with practice you can make your shield strong." Amelia said.
"Thanks. What are we learning today." I asked.
"Defensive and offensive spells. You need to learn to protect yourself. You can't expect to win the battle with just expeliramus right." Kinsley.
"Your control over magic is strong enough for you to learn advance magic. This is my fourth year textbook. You can learn from this." Amelia added.
"Learn five of the spells from the book and we will let you in what we are doing." Kinsley. I nodded at that.
In the potions class-
I was with Pandora when I heard the mauderers thought. I have just started legilimency but there thoughts are so loud that I don't even have to try that much.
James: This will teach her not to make my lil-pads mad.
Sirius: She was acting so arrogant. This will teach her a much needed lesson. Thins she is better than me huh!
Remus: I should stop them but they are my only friends. Also Lily is so nice to me. She must have done something wrong to Lily. Maybe this is for the best.
Peter: I wonder how this will play out. I don't wanna get caught. But I also want to see how this will play out.
'What are they planning to do?' I wondered. I was paranoid the entire time. I didn't let anyone touch the potion. Not even Pandora. She was suspicious but let it slide. Then suddenly Sirius Black got up and went towards the ingridients cabinet.
I pushed the potions pot inside and whispered to Pandora to ensure no one touched it. She was surprised but nodded along anyway. Eyes wary now. I saw something in Sirius hands. Mandrake root. That could cause the potion to blast.
He lingered for a moment but when he saw no way in he returned back frustrated. I sighed in relief. Pandora also noticed. She was boiling with rage but still somehow kept it in.
"Wonderful potion again miss Snape. 10 points to Slytherine." Slughorn said delighted with the result.
"Thanks professor." I said. I wished to look at them and say see. You can't do anything to me but I held it in. I can't let them know that I am aware of there ill will towards me.
In the dorm-
"Were those idiots seriously going to tamper with potions. Don't they know how dangerous it can be." Pandora said. Eyes wild with rage.
"Apparently not. For that reason alone to take potions owls also you need to have certain grades in your fourth year." I said.
"Exactly. And you haven't even talked to them till now. Why are they targeting you." She asked frustrated.
"From the conversation that I apparently eavesdropped on they were mad because aparently that glass guy named James has a crush on Lily my former friend and after knowing about how we broke of our friendship he has immediately labeled me as the villain in his fairy tail." I answered with an eye roll.
"For a girl. Seriously." She asked utterly baffled.
"I know right. I even felt them following me once. Like get a life." I said.
"Oh wow." Pandora.
"I know." Me.
The next day-
I was walking towards the great hall when suddenly my path was blocked by mauderers. Really. So early in the morning.
"Excuse me please. I am in a hurry right now." I told them while trying to move past them but they immediately blocked my path.
"Not so fast Snape. You made lil-pads cry. You will have to pay for it." James said trying to act intimidating and failing in it quite spectacularly I would say.
"Um sorry. Who?" I asked acting confused.
"Lily Evans. He is talking about Lily Evans. I told you she would not recognize that name you use." Sirius said.
"Oh are you friends of her. But I think there's been a misunderstanding. We have never had a fight in the first place for me to make her cry." I said calmly. Bro I haven't talked to her in a long time. What is this about making her cry.
