[princess-of-thebes-1995]

Dark Desires back of the book brief Summary

Yandere! Gellert Grindelwald x Muggle and female Reader

Age gap, yandere, obsession, racism and more. Rated M.

May 23rd was your high school graduation day and you wanted to be away from your strict parents for one summer vacation before you start your Freshman year at the local college in your city.

You got accepted to YALE, but your mean father whom you hated refused to let you live alone.

Meanwhile, in the magical world, May 23rd was the day Gellert Grindelwald was set free after spending years in prison.

His best friend, Albus, came from his travel and suggested the same and in Thailand.

As for you, you begged your father to visit a rural and tourist free village in Thailand and he bitterly agreed.

What could go wrong?

[junkiepunkie]

being a Marauders fan as well as a fan of Grindeldore is so weird because it means that on tumblr all that I see is dead gay wizards from varying time periods but on other apps I get targeted with Harry Potter stuff.

like I haven’t thought about canon in YEARS apart from the secrets of dumbeldore movie. What do you MEAN that most of the world actually talks about the golden trio and not the marauders???? What do you MEAN??!?!?

[uefb]

Hey, so I just watched the third Fantastic Beasts movie and I was wondering if you noticed any autistic traits of Newt's in that one? I remember spotting so many in the first two, so I was kind of disappointed that I wasn't able to find anything new this time. (Honestly, it felt like there wasn't much character exploration at all with Newt, except maybe at the very end?)

Hi, beanwood! Thanks for the ask. It’s interesting you noticed this! Because I will admit that I noticed less of Newt’s autistic qualities in the 3rd film myself (though I did notice some!). I think there are a number of reasons for this decrease — in fact, it is something @afrenchaugurey and I have discussed quite a few times actually! I’ll go into that later. First I’ll share what I did notice (from memory), when viewing Newt through an autistic lens as an autistic & neurodivergent person watching Secrets of Dumbledore (SOD/FB3).

(I’d like to apologise in advance for some language that might not be fully autistic-affirming moving forward. While I am autistic myself, I am also a researcher in fields that have traditionally pathologised autistic traits, and my language unintentionally reflects my training on occasion. Unfortunately, I currently do not have the spoons to go through and ensure that everything sounds appropriate. I therefore appreciate your understanding and patience.)

Anyway, while I agree with you that there are less autistic traits than in previous films, below are some arguably autistic traits or co-occurring indicators (based on my own experience and knowledge of clinical & empirical research) that I noticed! (Though these are not exactly new, which is what you may have been hoping for.)

Newt does stim quite a bit in the SOD/FB3, though it is subtle, mostly relegated to his coat pockets and consistent but very slight rocking/fidgeting/re-adjusting. You can see a rather crappy TikTok video (as I wasn’t doing edits on my computer yet) I made a few years ago (on an acct that is no longer active) highlighting Newt’s exceptionally subtle stimming in the first hour of FB3 here.

Newt continues to avoid eye contact during both one-on-one interactions and when addressing groups.

Newt does not always seem to notice subtle emotional nuances or jokes in group settings.

Newt seems, reasonably, attached to his case when Bunty takes it from him, even wordlessly asking Dumbeldore about it with a hand motion at one point. This could be interpreted as his case being a fixture of routine or comfort, common in autistic folks.

Newt’s flat affect, in this film, seems to be somewhat of a a boon to interacting with high-profile officials, as he seems somewhat unbothered by the high stakes of the situations and the potential social & political risks of simply walking up to — say — Herr Vogel, for example.

Additionally — regarding special interest — his hyperfocus on his creatures while talking with Theseus’ jailer in the Erkstag seems out-of-step with what one might expect from someone about to walk into a pseudo-authoritarian prison setting.

When Newt finds Theseus in the Erkstag, he answers Theseus’ questions about the creature situation by somewhat info-dumping about a laboratory experiment he’d conducted on creature behaviour to explain his reasoning. He seems not to entirely notice that that response probably wasn’t that reassuring to Theseus at all.

Newt does not reciprocate social interactions on several occasions — he misses his brother Theseus’ social cues in the first big group scene; he does not verbally reply to several characters in the films (such as Herr Vogel’s assistant), even when such reciprocal communication (or even basic serve & return) might be expected.

Newt does seem to lose some access to speech under extreme pressure during his back-and-forth with grindelwald about the Qilin twins. (This is reflected more in Redmayne’s performance than the script, IIRC.) While this is typical for many people, it harkens to newt’s earlier characterisations.

Newt utterly misses the loaded communication from Bunty while he has his case open toward the end of the film in Bhutan (when Tina’s picture is visible). Then, Bunty says something in response to Newt saying you don’t know what you have until it’s gone (referring to his case), which was apparently in reference to her own crush on Newt (now that Newt is pretty obviously with Tina). Newt did not seem to clock this comment as anything at all. (…..and, frankly, neither did I. I had to ask my wife to explicitly explain the scene to me after my 4th or so rewatch. I remain clueless and it is lucky I am married, given my utter inability to read romantic nuance.)

So yeah, I agree with you that the last film demonstrates fewer autistic traits consistent with Newt’s behaviour in the first 2 films, apart from those marked final scenes (Tina/newt, newt & dumbledore.) One could argue that the noticeable behaviour in the scene between Tina & Newt outside the bakery is due to either (a) the removal of Newt from a high-stress, goal-focused heist situation into a more intimate personal situation combined with (b) social anxiety manifesting around people he cares deeply about (particularly given his history of miscommunication with Tina), or social anxiety around romantic situations in general. It’s also possible that (c) a heightened sensitivity to physiological cues associated with anxiety or ‘butterflies,’ due to sensory sensitivity affects his behaviour in the Newtina scene — physiological stress (in my anecdotal, personal experience) can make one flustered or struggle with speech, as attention is repeatedly and emphatically and uncomfortably drawn elsewhere in the body. (Or it could be something ENTIRELY different, like a script rewrite or massive editing that jettisoned consistent character development.) But, whatever the case — yes, I agree Newt seems most…. Well… Newt! in his interactions with Tina and Dumbledore at the end of the film.

(Though if you haven’t seen the missing scene of Theseus & Newt between Newt leaving China and Theseus & Newt going to Hogsmeade… That’s rather a treasure trove of autistic-coded Newt, imho!! You can watch it here.)

As for the reasons why this change may have happened… I believe there are a few possibilities…

Personally, I think the fact that Secrets of Dumbledore (SoD/FB3) is structured more like a “heist” film than the earlier FB films plays a big role in that — character development was secondary to plot (which was, admittedly, a bit convoluted).

From an out-of-world (e.g., non-character, non-plot, non-worldbuilding perspective), I think it’s quite possible that Warner Brothers & co. were trying to appeal to as broad an audience as possible. I say this for a few reasons… (a) reactions to Newt as a character back in 2016 and 2018 were as polarised as you would expect for an autistic-coded main character in a mainstream action/adventure series. This might have inspired a shift in characterisation in FB3. Additionally, (b) by 2022, FB3—according to Warner Bro.—needed to be a box office hit. It was affected by Covid filming issues, JKR’s continued inane & controversial comments, actor drama & controversy, and generally non-HP level earnings at the box office for Crimes of Grindelwald/FB2…. Messy! Producers might have thought a less socially awkward/autistic Newt would make it more palatable. I haven’t seen any evidence of producers’ defending newt’s characterisation since the FB2 era. But who knows. This is all guesswork.

However, from an in-universe perspective, some time has passed since CoG/FB2. Based on Lally’s comments in Jacob’s bakery at the beginning of the film, approximately 1 year has passed (1927/8ish?). According to the screenplay, 5 years have passed (1932). (I tend to align myself with the 1932 timeline, due to subtle historical indicators; my own beliefs about Tina & Newt’s different characterisations in FB3; and the lack of lasting impact Leta’s death seems to have on Theseus & Newt by the time FB3 rolls around.) Anyway. I mention the time skip because I think it’s possible that a time skip allows for Newt’s character to minorly shift in a few ways…. (a) It allows Newt to settle into his confidence as a respected magizoologist, as well as gain distance from (i) World War 1 and (ii) young adulthood insecurities — trauma, anxiety, and diminished sense of self and belonging can exacerbate traits of neurodivergence. (b) A time skip additionally — (theoretically) — allows for Newt to become more comfortable with people like Jacob, Theseus, Dumbledore etc. (and for them to become more used to him!), potentially further diminishing Newt’s anxiety or certain autistic traits. Because autistic traits like stimming, for example, often correlate with higher levels of social stress or attempts to manage uncontrollable situations in controllable ways, Newt may rely less on these self-soothing methods because there is frankly less of a need. Conversely…

Newt might also be more self-aware by FB3. He’s in his 30s by now. It’s possible that he’s masking his autistic traits during the middle of the film due to the political environment and high stakes situation in which he is functioning.

Anyway! Long story short, those are my thoughts!!!!! (Hope you actually wanted them, because you tapped into UEFB special interest, infodump mode.) I’m sure there’s more to be said, but that’s all my old brain can do for now. Thanks for the ask, beanwood, and I hope you are well!

Finally, I’m curious: What inspired you to ask me this in particular? Was it my utter flooding of the #autisticNewtScamander tag over the past few years? A particular post? My fics? Byyye.

[nocturnal-phantoms-fandoms]

okay i know you are on the same shack scene agenda as me and i need to dissect it even more so please tell me your thoughts about what remus is thinking/feeling when he sees peter on the map and decides to go after sirius 👀

What do we know? He finds out Peter is alive and he immediately finds it highly suspicious - nobody casually fakes their death after all. He goes straight to the willow and on his way he tries to make sense of it all. He knows that whatever he believed/was told is at least questionable. And the way through the tunnel is long so he has time to think.

I believe that Remus figured out what happened in October 1981 - more or less - the moment he entered the shack. When he asks how it is possible that Peter is alive, he is thinking out loud. He already went through every possibility, checking how probable each one was in the context of what was happening in the last couple months of the war and then he comes to the conclusion - you switched - and he is sure there is no other option. So when Sirius - who’s words he shouldnt really have any reasons to trust* - nods, he doesnt question it at all and gets straight to business to murder the rat. 

*That is, assuming he truly and fully believed Sirius to be the traitor.

I like to think that it took quite long for him to accept it and that it was mostly due to Dumbledore convincing him. He has no reason to doubt Dumbledore - and Dumbledore has no reason to think what he knows isn’t the whole truth - but what Dumbledore says doesnt make any sense (and even Rosmerta agrees!). But even if he doubs his words he has no means of going against him or proving him wrong so for the sake of his own sanity he has to accept it. 

And even then - when he was told Sirius was responsible for all those murders - he didnt think he deserved the Dementors Kiss. And we know that he holds James and Lily (especially James) in high regard and how much their friendship, support and acceptance meant for him bc of his childhood. Yet he is very quick to murder Peter - not even waiting for the kids to leave the scene jesus christ remus - when they find out he was the traitor. Yes, the point of his question for Harry about the Kiss was to show that it’s fate worse than death but come on - in front of my salad the kids?

Also Im not sure what to make out of his excuse of not telling dumbledore about the map/secret passages - that he convinced himself Sirius was using tricks he was taught by Voldemort and also that he is Dumbeldore’s doormat. Its a very very poor excuse  and. couldnt he just. show him an opened map and point to the secret passages and say they should be blocked/guarded? say he found this mysterious artifact of unspecified origins somewhere in the castle? anyways for me it doesnt make much sense until we consider that he had this thought - about sirius potentially maybe not being guilty - at the back of his head. maybe even subconsciously at this point. 

that or he was very gay for sirius. 

also I forgot to take my shipping goggles off, shit, my bad. 

I would love to hear your thoughts though, they happen to make more sense than mine >.<"

Lowly Desire new chapter sneak peek

"How are you feeling, my love?" Grindelwald was holding your hand as the chilly autumn air kissed your red cheeks. You weren't blushing by the way. 

You blinked. He has asked about your well being a lot these days. You wondered why. Of course you smiled with your fat lips as fake. You had no choice. You didn't want to get slapped. So you said you feel normal.

Gellert smirked and nodded. Then Anton Vogel came and stood between the two of you. "You will make history, Gellert. Your fiancee is bound to produce beautiful children and your genes will make them talented in magic."

Nodding, your fiancee kissed your cheek. He wrapped his shoulders around you and said. "I found my soulmate in a squib. She will be perfect for me and our future generations of children.  I thank Dumbeldore every day. If it wasn't for him suggesting me to visit Thailand,  I would have never see. reader Chan at that museum.

You wanted to sneer. Dumbledore indirectly ruined your life but it wasn't his fault. By chance Dumbledore suggested Thailand.

That is when it happened. You heard a whistle. All three of you with Vogel and Grindelwald turned to see Rosier holding onto Queenie and Helmut holding guard of a fat and short man. Who is he?

The feeling had sat in you all summer long, the feeling that darkness was soon going to be invading your life. And yet you hoped, prayed even, that the darkness wouldn’t reach your life at Hogwarts, wouldn’t trespass onto the castle grounds. But as you settled at the Hufflepuff table, your eyes automatically searching for another’s at the Slytherin table, you found yourself staring at the bright pink ensemble standing out at the staff table.

The darkness, you came to realize, did not exist within shades of black or grey or green. No it was represented by a shade of pink that you could only consider horrendous. You tried so hard to move your eyes away, search for the pair that you’d originally hoped to catch, wondering if you would still find the same love staring back at you as they did at the end of the previous year. Dumbeldore started his speech, bringing you out of your stupor, only for that pit of darkness to grow once again as the pink mass began to tut tut her way to Dumbeldore’s stand.

Something about her voice made your face contort into something akin to a mix of pain and annoyance, your eyes finally landing on the one person you thought could make you feel better. Cold, blank eyes stared not only at you, but somehow past you.

You had truly and utterly fucked everything up.

•••

There was no going back now, no pretending that things were ever going to go back to how they were. You couldn’t, because after having revealed your secret to the girls, it seems that your eyes were not the only ones that would search for Zabini’s eyes.

“His eyes were definitely harsh,” Hermione passed you the chocolates that were too far from your grasp, “but there was a second when you were speaking to one of your housemates and I guess you’d laughed at something they said, that I could have sworn he was genuinely sad.”

You shrugged your shoulders, wrapping the thick red blanket further around your body as you contemplated the consequences of eating the next batch of chocolates in front of you. “Maybe he looked sad ‘Mione, at least for a moment, but I know him and Blaise is past the point of sad with me.”

“How can you be so sure?” Ginny hopped onto the bed, the box of chocolates moving farther away from you in the process. “Have you even spoken to him?”

Your fingers stop inches away from the next bonbon you’d claimed as your victim. You look up at your friends for the first time in what seemed like ages since you’d snuck into the 5th year girls dorm. They don’t need you to respond, the answer is clear as day, no.

A sigh fills the space between the three of you, but it’s hard to tell who it’s from. “I know,” you start slowly, “I know I have to talk to him, but- I mean what do I even say… Sorry for disappearing on you this summer which by the way I can’t provide an explanation for cause I was busy hiding away in an Order stronghold.”

Ginny chuckles slightly at your frustration, she can’t help it, “Maybe not like that.”

“Definitely don’t mention that last bit,” Hermione adds.

You nod. Your lip starts to tremble as a thought pops into your head, “What if this is it? Between Blaise and I, I mean? What if this is just the end?”

The girls shake their heads, “No, no it’s not.”

“It doesn’t end until you say it ends!” Ginny exclaims, her words for some reason making you giggle. The other two smiling at that gentle sound of laughter that’s finally come out of you since you walked into the room.

You nod, a small smile sitting on your lips, “Ok. I’ll have to talk with him then,” you pause, “Tomorrow.”

The girls echo your statement, settling the matter- at least for the rest of the night.

•••

The first week of summer had passed and Blaise finds his happiness dipping more and more as he waits for your letter. You always wrote first, that was just the way your relationship had been- since the beginning, you always made first contact. But Blaise waits patiently, because he’s okay with waiting when it comes to you.

Only a week turns into two, and he considers breaking your unspoken rule, and not just once but multiple times. Yes, his mother and her new fiancée keep him distracted with future wedding plans, and Theo’s and Draco’s letters remind him of coming trips. But at the end of the day and the beginning of the following, his fingers itch to write you a letter, to prompt you to write him a response. But then he remembers why it is that you always wrote first, because summer always meant a new home and therefore a new address.

The weeks turn into a month and the sadness of not hearing from you has settled deep into his gut, ever so slowly hardening itself until it turns into an anger. Anger at you but also not at you, Blaise can never be fully angry with you, he loves you too much, cares too much to be filled only by anger.

Still, it continues to hurt when he doesn’t receive any letter from you. His mind wanders and imagines what scenario you could be in, whether you’re hurt or in danger. And then he stops, because you aren’t like that- you wouldn’t do that, at least not knowingly and you would have to told him. You would have told him everything.

The middle of summer however finally drifts to the end. Hogwarts letters are once again sent out, lists of new books and materials composed and for once he lets himself dream. Because if he got his letter, that means you got yours too, so maybe just maybe you’ll be at Diagon Alley and maybe just maybe you’ll see him and smile that smile you always seem to reserve for him. It won’t fix the cracks that have developed in his heart, but it will coat them, make them not as deep as they were.

If only, if only, if only he knew that none of the young inhabitants of 12 Grimmauld Place made their way to Diagon Alley this year. If only.

But he doesn’t know. And by the time Blaise Zabini makes it onto the train, contemplating stalking the rows and rows of cabins until he finds you, he decides he is done with searching for you.

Blaise might be patient when it comes to you, he isn’t that patient.

•••

First you consider sending him a letter, maybe that will be best, but then the summer memories reappear in your mind and no, no a letter won’t do.

Then a shared class is your next best bet. The possibility of being table mates will make things easier, you suppose. Only it seems every green robe you find fluttering past every doorway isn’t him, and your smile starts to slip.

The days turn to weeks as you contemplate your approach. The girls continue watching you, unasked questions settling into their minds as you merely shake your head at their presence.

You decide by the time the end of the first month approaches that the pink darkness is not helping you at all. Her rules and regulations make you want to scream, but even with the anger you’ve developed towards her, nothing can compete with the emptiness.

Ginny and Hermione continue to care, deciding that even with everything they are doing, they will watch over you. They can’t help it, trying to help you fix whatever it is you have with Blaise, even though you don’t explicitly ask for your help. After all, it’s not their mistake to fix, it’s yours.

By mid-October, however, Ginny is done watching from the sidelines- to be far she’d been done watching from the sidelines since the school year started. But she promised Hermione she’d wait, and wait she did. Weasley’s are stubborn however, and she ever so stubbornly wants you to no longer be empty. So when she finds the perfect time to drag Blaise into an empty classroom with the speed and precision she’s known for, she does so with total success.

Blaise stares at her and then back to the door that has already been locked, his eyes almost showing the shock he feels if it weren’t for the mask he has around basically everyone.

“Look I don’t like you,” she starts, her words echoing sharply within the rooms confines, “but you and I have a mutual friend. A friend who I know is more than a friend to you. A friend who really wants to talk to you but doesn’t know how to talk to you current-”

Blaise cuts in, “What could you possibly know?”

“I know that you love one another,” her voice softens, “and that she’s hurt you- somewhat unintentionally- but still she hurt you and she knows she’s had. And right now she is destroying herself knowing that she’s hurt you.” There’s a pause in her words, “Look I’m not saying you have to forgive her, and we both know she wouldn’t want that either, but can you send her a message or something, because she doesn’t know what to do with herself and as her friend I can’t stand it.”

With a curt nod, Ginny walks to the door, quick to leave until she hears it, “Weasley,” she turns, “I’ll write to her.”

“Good.” Even with her strength she closes the door softly, not letting anyone in the hallway turn their eyes or ears to the sound of an empty classroom being in use.

•••

Having your last class of the day with the pink monster is decidedly the worst thing about your Fridays. You’re too tired to leave your bed to get dinner, let alone change out of your uniform, and yet when the familiar owl swoops in and settles in its spot on your desk, you find yourself contorting your body to grab the letter in its beak. The owl digs through the treat bowl you keep, not even waiting for your approval to grab a snack, before leaving once again. The only proof that it had even appeared being the letter in your hands.

Your fingers shake as you tear it open, not even bothering to treat the Zabini seal with the respect you typically do, only to find a small slip of paper inside. The disappointment of it not being a proper letter starts to bloom until your brain finally processes the three sentences written down.

Room of Requirement. Tomorrow, 9 am. Please.

Normalise dumbeldore hate, people that like and defend him need to understand that dumbeldore knew sirius was innocent. He was well trusted and could have easily defended sirius, at least enough for them to use the truth syrum. Dumbeldore casted the spell to make Peter the secret keeper and people are going to say he did nothing wrong?? Not to mention he willingly took an 11 year old boy, raised him for slaughter and left him in charge of a war. A war that he would have had no part in, if dumbeldore had even tried to be secretive when getting the prophecy from trelawny. Your telling me one of the most powerful wizards of the century DIDN'T know he was outside the door? All he wanted was to be the hero, he was a terrible person who got away with it by using and manipulating others.

I got like three asks for this, so whoever you are. I am grateful that you liked this enough to actually want a part 2. I really hope you enjoy it 💖

Comfort In The Darkness part 2 - Professor Snape

Her days of being a death-eater were going as planned. Finding out crucial and secretive information was simple, and nobody had suspected her. Nobody knew she was working for The Order, with an exception for Snape. She worked hard to be convincing and helping them with their diabolical schemes. Little did they know that she was willing to tear them apart from the inside out.

That mark on her forearm was the most painful part of the mission that Dumbledore had assigned to her. She was full of rage and disgust at what she had done, but even more disgusted with how heartless the death-eaters could be. She knew it was to protect those who were at risk of being killed, but having a constant reminder of who she could've been was like the feeling of getting kicked in the stomach. With each passing day, she grew tired and depressed. Being surrounding by darkness and hate would inevitably leave her feeling alone.

At a meeting at Malfoy Manor, she couldn't help but to have sympathy for Draco. He looked like was falling apart. His blonde a mess and he looked more skinny than usual, and he was beginning to have bags under his eyes. She couldn't blame him with his father thrown in Azkaban and his and his family's lives being at stake; It would be too much for anyone to handle. Voldemort didn't have any sympathy for anyone. Instead, of showing mercy, he gave Draco punishment. In Voldemorts eyes this was a way to get back at the Malfoy's. "I order you to kill Dumbledore. If you fail to do this, and prove yourself to me you can be a true death-eater, then there will be consequences to your disobedience as my follower." Voldemort whispered in such a slow and sinister tone that it brought chills to her spine. Draco couldn't couldn't much, but to accept to doing Voldemorts dirty work in fear of him being even more furious. She felt like this was something she should report to The Order or at least to Dumbledore personally. She wasn't sure how she was going to bring it up to him, but she knew that she had to say something before it was too late.

She walked a slow and emotionally draining walk up to Dumbledore's office at Hogwarts. She wanted to tell him privately, and break the news to him as quickly as she possibly could. Her hands and voice once again began to shake with anxiety as she began to speak. "Dumbledore sir, Draco Malfoy is up to something malicious and I feel like I should being up to your attention. I feel like it's the right thing to do, since it directly involves you." "What is it?" "Is it about young Draco becoming a death-eater, because I have already come to that conclusion myself." His voice calm, but laced with a hit of disappointment. Her eyes looked at him with sadness but mustering up the courage to tell him what Voldemort is making Draco do. "No, sir. It's not that." She looked at him as if she were about to burst into tears. "Voldemort as given him orders to kill you, sir." Draco has it in his mind that if he completes his mission that all would be forgiven by Voldemort, thus freeing his family from the debt that they owe to Voldemort and saving his family from death." She tried her best to steady her voice, but the shakiness still made its way through. Dumbeldore's eyes met her's. They held such a calmness that left her feeling confused. She blinked a few times to try and wrap her brain around how Dumbledore seemed like she just told him a weather update. "Did you hear me correctly, sir?" He smiled at her which confused her even more. "It's alright, young one. Besides, time is such a tricky subject, and you have to make the most of what you have left, and I will be doing what I can until my time is done." She could tell by his eyes that he knew what was coming. Although, she didn't want to admit it to herself just yet.

The guilt she felt knowing what Voldemort is doing made her feel completely sick. She was beginning to feel like she was going crazy. She couldn't focus on anything. She wanted to ti save everyone, even if she felt like she couldn't be able to. She was willing to try. She couldn't just stand up up Voldemort because then, Bellatrix would cast the cruciatus curse on her or worse, kill her with the killing curse. Everything has been completely backwards and she couldn't wrap her head around any of it. Since the passing of Sirius she was having nightmare after nightmare every night, but Grimmauld Place was the only place she felt comfortable at.

Grimmauld Place had become a sort of hiding place for her. When it was raided by death-eaters, the place was completely trashed, but she stayed there when she needed a place to be alone with her thoughts. It was her home, but yet she still felt unsafe. She sat at the same place where she used to feel the most comfort. She started to remember how Sirius would tell stories with Remus about their school adventures and she began to feel an ache deep inside of her chest. Her eyes welling with tears, and anger replacing the sadness. She let out a sniffle as the tears streamed down her face.

She heard a footsteps and her crying came to an abrupt stop. she quickly began wiping her face to look as if she were never crying in the first place. "Why are you here alone?" A deep voice echoed through the empty and depressing house. She quickly wiped the remaining tears threatening to spill from her eyes so he doesn't see her at a very vulnerable state."To clear my mind." She tried to sound emotionless, but it came out annoyed and angry. "I wanted to be alone." Snape took one look at her and it wasn't hard to see how sad and broken she looked. Her eyes bloodshot and her hair was a mess. She looked like she hadn't slept in days. He didn't look like it, but he was concerned about her. "It's not safe to be alone, especially if they catch on to you. Do you have any idea what they would do to to you if they find out?" She looked up at him with frustration written all over her face. Her eyes glistening with rage. "They just took everything from me and they're taking everything from everyone. They want to destroy a world that all wizards have kept close to them so dearly. They kill innocent people and they see me as one of them. A monster." She began crying again unable to hold back her tears anymore. Snape didn't do anything, but just looked at her. He had compassion for her of course. She was once one of his students after all, so how could he not care?"

Snape sighed and tried to be of help to her. "What you were asked to do, is not easy. You're doing good. They all belive you which is why they think you're one of them. If they mistake you as one of them, then you're doing exactly what Dumbledore has asked of you." "How could they be so evil?" She mumbled and stared at the floor with tears still pouring out of her eyes. "They are that way because they crave power. I was once one of them. Begging to be seen in a good light by him. Begging to have even of grain of what kind of power he possessed. It lead to nothing, and I realized that he really has nothing. He has no soul, no life inside of him. He's empty." He gripped his left forearm like he wished that mark would just go away. In that moment she realized that She could relate to Snape. "How do you deal with it?" She questioned. "Having the dark-mark, and still being loyal to Dumbeldore. Being trusted by him. Snape looked down at the floor. "I realized that there is a much greater future than just his small-minded way of thinking." "Do you really think that?" She looked at him like she was trying to read his mind. "I do, and I think that you're doing a great job. You're fighting for what you believe in, and as your professor that is all I can ask of you." Those words that he said made there way into her heart. "I really am grateful that I have hour guidance, professor." He let out a small smile that could've also been mistaken as a sneer. "You were always my favorite student." He said in a bland tone, but still she felt as if she had one a trophy. She really did enjoy talking with Snape, eventhough she would never admit it, and he enjoyed talking with her no matter how uncomfortably stiff he seemed to look.
