Celeste, Harry, Ron and Hermione were Potions class on Thursday morning combined classes with Slytherin. She sat in a table with the other three. Malfoy came walking in the class with an arm sling. After that night the two haven't talked or even bickered and it was concerning some people since there wasn't anymore drama in the corridors.

"How is it Draco?" Pansy asks "Does it hurt much?"

"Yeah" Malfoy says like he survived some sort of war. He turned and winked at Crabbe and Goyle. Celeste didn't seem to notice that Malfoy glanced at her slighlty, like he was expecting something from her but the girl seemed too busy doing her potion. 

"Malfoy just looked at you" Ron murmured and Celeste shrugged.

"Just ignore him" She whispered back and Ron nodded giving the girl a small side hug by wrapping his hand quickly around her waist before going back to cutting up his ingredients.

"Settle down" Snape says "Settle down"

Celeste was almost done with her shrinking solution and was stirring it slowly when Malfoy settled his cauldron next to Ron and Harry which meant that he was close to her as well.

"Sir" Malfoy voiced "Sir I need help cutting these daisy roots because of my arm"

"Weasley cut it for Malfoy" Snape's sharp voice says and Ron fumed as he rapidly sliced the Daisy roots, making it different sizes.

"Sir, Weasley is mutilating the daisy roots" Malfoy called and Snape came over and looked at it with a dangerous glance.

"Switch Daisy Roots, Weasley" Snape says before going over to Celeste who had casted a Shrinking Charm on her potion- indicating that it was finished.

"Good job Ms.Potter" Snape said thinly, "Now- why don't you try it on a toad. If you had brewed it correctly then it would turn back into a tadpole"

Celeste went over as everyone looked over at her as she tipped a bit of the solution to the toad and it shrunk down into a tadpole causing Celeste to give into a small smile as Snape lifted his eyebrows in amusement.

"Very well then... 5 points to Gryffindor" Snape said through gritted teeth "Now- if you may. Take this to Professor Lupin's office- I assume you know where? Make sure you come back before the lesson end"

"Yes Professor" Celeste mumbled, taking the closed goblet and made her way outside of the class. Earning envious stares from the Gryffindors and pleading ones from both Harry and Ron.

"If every one of you were as diligent as Ms.Potter then you should be able to finish the shrinking solution and get excused from the rest of the lesson which would be filled with pitiful attempts-"

Celeste was too far to hear anything from the dungeons and she quickly went to Remus' office, turning around the stairs and she finally found it. 

Knocking a rythmn onto the office she heard some scattering noises inside.

"Come in" She heard her uncle say and she opened the door and the adult broke out into a big smile.

"Hey dad- Professor Lupin" Celeste recollected her self, placing the goblet filled with wolfsbane 

"Morning Princess" Remus grinned, pulling the girl into a hug as the smell of chocolate and coffee filled Celeste's nose.

"It feels weird seeing you everyday now" Celeste's muffled voice says and Remus laughed, the vibrations rumbling through his chest.

"I hope that's a good thing" He says and Celeste nodded.

"Now- why are you here?" Remus asks "Other than the goblet- I expect you have potions now?"

"Yeah, finished the potion first. Quite thankful that Snape hadn't beheaded me yet" Celeste says and Remus chuckled before downing the goblet with a wince at the taste.

"Are you feeling okay?" Celeste asks "The full moon isn't due for a few weeks time, I'm sure" 

"Ah yes- Professor Dumbledore has said that it was best to take it from time to time to try and reduce the effects as much as possible" Remus says "A good man he is"

"I know" Celeste says "Uncle Remus-"

"Yes?"

"If Sirius Black were to come here- you'd protect Harry won't you?" Celeste asks and Remus furrowed his eyebrows at the girl.

"Of course I would- I'd protect you all" Remus says "Especially you- you're mom would behead me"

"Also I heard from Aunt Rose that you had fainted when you found out about me getting kidnapped" Celeste included and Remus shivered.

"Ah yes- wait Rose told you that?" Remus asks and Celeste nodded.

"Well- I guess I can't tell her anything anymore. Or else you'd know it as well" Remus sighed

"We're going to have Defense the Dark Arts later" Celeste started "Can you give me a clue on what we're going to do?"

"No" Remus says "You'll have to wait until the lesson"

"Come on! Please! For your favorite godchild!" Celeste's eyes twinkled.

"No- Celeste-" Remus tried to decline "Don't use my love for you against me!"

"But~"

"No, now off you go, bring the goblet with you. Snape's going to have go on a rampage and tell your mom that I'm stalling you from classes and we wouldn't want that" Remus says giving the girl the empty goblet before pushing her out of his office gently.

"Noo!-" The door of the office closed and Celeste huffed, blowing a strand of hair out of her face and she walked back to Potions to see everyone still by their original seats.

"Ah- you're back Ms.Potter. Thought you had gotten lost in the castle" Snape says and Pansy snickered. Celeste placed the Goblet by the sinks and walked back to her seat. Malfoy and Harry seemed like they were going to jump on eachother so Celeste decided to sit in the middle of them.

"You should have finished adding your ingredients by now; this potion needs to stew before it can be drunk,so clear away while it simmers and then we'll test Longbottom's" Snape's voice cut through the class' silent tension.

"What did you do to Harry?" Celeste turns to Malfoy, as she rested her hand on the table, propping her head up.

"Why would you assume that?" Malfoy scoffs and Celeste sighed.

"Wouldn't expect anything different from daddy's boy" She mumbled as she went closer to Hermione's seat, not caring about the glares she got from Malfoy and Pansy, who was spying on their short conversation.

The lesson was coming to an end and everyone gathered around Neville's cauldron as he cowered behind it, in fear.

"Watch what happens toLongbottom's toad. If he has managed to produce a Shrinking Solution, it will shrink to atadpole. If, as I don't doubt, he has done it wrong, his toad is likely to be poisoned" Snape says as his black eyes glittered at the thought of embarrassing the poor boy.
