Rose shook, holding the newspaper article close to her chest.
She had to find him, had to find him and ask him to help. She wasn't terrible at potions - actually, Slughorn thought she was pretty great at it - but she would need help from someone with a little bit more... knowhow.
But obviously not Slughorn. She couldn't get out what she was doing knowing that Moony would scold her for days. It was expensive, she knew, but it was something - something they - she - had to try.
However, Severus Snape was a hard kid to find. Probably for good reason, her brother and his friends found every moment that he was alone an opportunity to mess with him and no amount of scolding from her seemed to do anything. Especially with Remus breathing down her neck filling her ears with all the reasons she shouldn't be friends with Severus Snape.
...her middle name was Danger, after all.
She was a werewolf, so she was dark magic incarnate walking around. So really, she was just drawn to danger as it were.
Surprisingly - or maybe not so surprisingly - she found him sitting under the Whomping Willow, head bent over what she assumed - hoped - was a potions text. He seemed to be writing something in it. Approaching she quickly prodded the knot that stilled the tree before it came to life again and plopped herself right down in front of him, still clutching the newspaper to herself, a little out of breath.
She looked at him and then looked away, towards nothing in particular, waiting for him to acknowledge her presence.
He seemed concentrated, so she would wait for a few moments.

There were many times that he just wanted to be alone – he had discovered a way to stop the Whomping Willow, which wouldn’t attack if you were close by the trunk, but he felt it was a nice little shield from the ‘Marauders’. He didn’t know they used this every month to help their friend during rough times. At least it kept people away from him.
He was currently writing in his advanced potions book, a book that was required next year but he had made it a priority to get ahead – after all the fifth-year potions were boring to him. He was making corrections for several of the recipes – seriously who wrote this? It was extremely long winded and had a lot of unnecessary steps. Basic knowledge on how potions worked would tell someone that – but then again, so few people actually understood the science behind potions and simply followed directions.
For a short time, he had sat there continuing to write despite the fact there was a girl in front of him. He wasn’t going to stop what he was doing just because she appeared – though she knew how to freeze the tree to stop it from attacking, which was curious. Figuring she was waiting to speak until he acknowledged her, he began, not even looking up from the book.
“What do you want?” His voice was low and bitter. She was the sister of one of Potter’s friends. Of course, she would hate him. “It would be lovely if you quit wasting my time by gawking. I have better and more important things to do than to wait for you to finally find your voice.”

Her lips twisted into a frustrated frown as he greeted her with hostility. What had she done to warrant such a tone?
She sighed, the look of frustration melting off her face. "You looked concentrated, I didn't want to break you of it."
Ha, take that. She gave him a smirk, "and I wasn't gawking."
She paused, shifting, not out of nervousness, but from the intensity of his gaze. She wasn't going to lie, she was around many boys at this school, a good number of this vying for her attention, but none of them interested her. Plus, they would all probably run once they figured out what she was, anyway. She may be pretty - but even that wouldn't overshadow her true self.
"I... I wanted, no, I need your help with a task Severus."
Her jaw worked a moment before she laid the newspaper out between the two of them, open to the headline about the wolfsbane.
She looked at him and she couldn't believe it of herself, but she was begging. "Please."

He looked at the news article, a sly smile slowly forming in replacement of his scowl. It all made sense now – the twins always left at the same time with some sort of lame excuse. Right around the same time each month – and that article? It would only be news for someone who knew – the scars – Severus had heard if a werewolf was locked up and unable to go after anyone, they would hurt themselves – at least it seemed to be true in Remus’s case. This was a delicious piece of information.
“Now why would I help you?” His tone was a little bit more… sadistic this time. It was as if he were asking her to get on her knees and beg him – and in a way he was asking her to do just that. “What is in it for me? You know the ingredients are extremely expensive, and the level of difficulty is… well high for normal people.” Truth be told, when it was announced, Severus looked at the recipe and had brewed one small batch of it as practice. If he could brew the more difficult potions, he was one step closer to being the best at it.
He held up a finger before she could respond, digging in his bag. He pulled out a small bottle with a clear liquid inside – when he moved it, it would sparkle with a blue sheen. “Just so you know, I can help if you offer up something of equal value.”

Her hair fell over her shoulder as she contemplated this. She knew there would be a price for this. But what could she offer in return? She was fifteen. She was dealing with danger here. But she had nothing of monetary value for the guy. She only had...
He took out the bottle and her eyes widened. He had already brewed some?! It took everything in her not to reach out and grab it, to look at it. She exposed both herself and Remus for this. That was already a hefty price, as it were.
She swallowed, looking down at the newspaper again. She looked at him with a blazing determination in her eyes. She shifted again, on her knees now - was is instinctual? She didn't know.
"Anything. I don't care what it is. I'll do anything. Please, help me."
Remus was going murder her.

This was fantastic. She was on her knees. He moved the vial away and shook his head, chuckling under his breath. There was so much he could do with this information – he could control not only her, but all of those pesky little Gryffindors. They would see how far their loyalty went – he didn’t doubt that Black and Potter knew – Pettigrew maybe not, he wasn’t the brightest.
However, he also didn’t want to make her ‘defend’ him against her brother and his little friends – it would show weakness for a girl to fight his battles for him – let alone a half-breed. For a few moments he remained silent looking at her, considering what he could ask from her. There really wasn’t all that much he wanted from her – but it would give him an excuse to brew the potion again – it was an interesting study. He already had ideas on how to improve it a bit.
“First, if I tell you to do something, you do it,” He shrugs – that one was a simple request, and he was sure she would expect that. But this wasn’t a small request she was asking of him. “Second, you must procure the ingredients whatever way possible. But you must procure enough for three doses – one for you, two for my own purposes. I will not brew the potion for that filthy mongrel you call a brother.”
He had his reasons for the potion in general – one dose was going to be for study purposes and the other he would stock up to help bring in other werewolves to fight for the dark lord – if he could bring in more people, who could keep their mind during that transformation and do the bidding of the dark lord and punish those who oppose him like that… well, he was sure he would rise to fame pretty quickly in the circle of Death Eaters – he wanted to become the dark lord’s right hand man.

Yup, she was a dead dog if Remus ever got wind of this. That was for sure.
Yet, she wasn't the least bit nervous. Something in her told her she could... well, not trust, but she didn't have to be worried.
...much.
His first request took her a back just slightly. She had been expecting... something more degrading as a whole. At this time it just seemed he gained himself an assistant. She bit her bottom lip and nodded, moving to sit more comfortably, just in case someone came by and saw them. She held her tongue at the 'filthy mongrel' comment.
"I'll make it four and since I'm doing everything you say - will you allow me to learn from you when you brew it?"
She didn't want to say 'teach me', but she would do her best to observe and learn - she was a Ravenclaw. She could get her hands on the instructions as it was.
Sigh. If he wasn't so rude, he might be quite a catch.

To be perfectly honest, Severus didn’t know what to do with this power he held over her – he always knew he wanted it, but now that he had it over one person, he wasn’t quite sure exactly what to do with it. Deep down he wasn’t an evil person – maybe a bit sadistic and cynical, but not evil. Quite honestly, he only wanted power, so people wouldn’t dare to hurt him – so he could do what he wanted, when he wanted, and no one would dare cross him. Then he could protect those he loved.
“No one can know about this arrangement.” If Lily got wind that he was blackmailing people into doing his bidding… well, she would probably get angry at him again. “However, I am not one to deny someone who wants to learn, the ability to learn, so yes. If you prove yourself lazy and arrogant like your brother, I will no longer teach you. I will only teach those who try.”
He hands her the bottle, which surprisingly felt heavier than it looked. “You’ll need to drink a goblet every day a week prior. There’s an expansion charm on the bottle so it holds just enough. I want you to document every side effect that you have.” At the end of the day, Severus was an innovator – he created spells, he created potions, he improved potions, that was his talent. Taking things and making something new or improving it. He wasn’t an animal who simply liked to hurt people – he was only sadistic because he wanted revenge. He wasn’t sadistic against those who did nothing to hurt him – like Lily.

"I can agree with that," she said matter-of-factly.
If her brother or any of his friends got wind of this, not only would she be dead, but they would never leave Severus alone, regardless of how much she would tell them that this had been her choice. And at the moment, it was for a greater good, as it was. Was this a form of blackmail? It would be if he used their arrangement and held it over her brother's head... but as long as he didn't do that, no one the wiser, right? No one was getting hurt?
Well, asking him to teach her the potion was easier than expected. She had been expecting some sadistic remark of 'no you're asking too much'. But, She was pleasantly surprised by his response. She gave him a smirk.
"Figure you'll go into teaching after Hogwarts, Sev? That was a pretty professor-like answer."
She meant it as a compliment, perhaps a bit of a tease, but mostly a compliment. She tried to reinforce this by giving him a genuine smile, but who knew how he would actually take it.
Her surprise then continued when he handed her the bottle. It was indeed heavier than it looked, but maybe it was also it's meaning. Sure, she just became a test subject, but where else in Hogwarts would you find a werewolf willing to subject themselves to this?
Plus she... wasn't worried. Severus Snape was a perfectionist. He wanted to make sure the potion did what it was supposed to do, there was no gain in killing his only willing test subject.
But the fact was, it was there, in her hands... if this worked... she rubbed at her arms, shivering at the feeling of the glamour spell on them, hiding her scars.
If this worked, life would be so much... better.
Clutching the bottle to her chest she set a look of gratitude on the Slytherin.
"Thank you, Severus. I know that... well, I'm paying you a great price in having you agree to help me to do this. But, still, thank you. I... this means so much to me."
She smiled, holding the bottle up, looking at it in the sunlight, before setting her gaze on him again.
"I hope we can become friends, in this."

He looked at her with a lazy look in his eyes. Teaching at Hogwarts? That was incredibly insane. Well, if the Death Eaters won by that point, maybe he could – Defense Against the Dark Arts would be an interesting teaching position to take up. He hadn’t considered it before. He’d also thought he would be a soldier to the Dark Lord, and then after that do whatever the Dark Lord needed of him. Then he wouldn’t have to choose from a world of things he could do – the choice would be terribly difficult if he had to make it on his own.
“No. I’ll be joining the ranks of the Death Eaters. If that leads to teaching, then so be it.” He looked at her with a look of almost… was it sadness? It was the only place he could belong, even if he didn’t really enjoy the company of many of those in the leagues already. He was more swayed by the promise of power, and what he could do finally – how he could finally win.
There was a slight blush that showed on his pale cheeks when she looked at him, thanking and then suggesting they could become friends. What was wrong with him? And that was when a brilliant idea struck him like a bludger to the face. “People will be wondering why we are spending so much time together – as a cover story, we’ll claim to be dating.”

"The Death Eaters - but-"
Oh god, what had she gotten herself into? Her jaw worked, even with that morsel of knowledge, she didn't feel herself shying away, in fact, it was quite the opposite. What would he gain from joining their ranks? To be marked like that? She already knew what it was like to be marked - it wouldn't... she closed her eyes. What was it about her that suddenly had her so concerned for him? It was his choice. He could dig that grave and bury himself in it if he wanted to, but...
Something in her didn't want to see that happen, coupled with the almost sad look she gave him, she sighed, reaching out to place her hand on his knee.
"What would they be able to do to help you with your goals that you wouldn't be able to accomplish on your own? Money? Fame? Power?"
She frowned at him slightly, the expression more concerned than disapproving. "I don't know what you're trying to accomplish, Severus, but you don't need them."
She looked at him, his cover story idea sinking in for her. The first thing she noticed was that she was, in no way, adverse to this idea. Huh. Suddenly a mischevious look appeared on her face, "I agree. In fact, we can start at this very moment. Like I just confessed to you under this tree."
She suddenly moved, now sitting right next to him, arms wrapped around his and she leaned on him. She smiles, "I just want to make sure you know what you're suggesting. If we're going through with this, I want to make it as believable as possible."

His eyes immediately glanced at the hand on his knee and then back up to her. She was questioning his choices – her stupid brother probably filled her head with such lies about the Death Eaters being evil – they just had to fight just like any other revolutionary force. Tell it to the Americans. French. Any country that had a revolution to free themselves.
“Power is part of it, yes. The power to defend the people most important to me. The power to be able to make decisions in the new world order. But… mostly so I can have a place to belong. The other side has shown quite vehemently that they don’t want me.” He takes in a deep breath, remembering the words he heard Malfoy and the others talking about in the common room. Normally he would sit in a corner and eavesdrop – but recently he had approached them specifically with questions he had – everything just made him want it more.
“Why are we the ones who have to hide? Why do we have to be worried about being discovered by muggles? We’re the superior ones. We have the power. We’re better than them and yet we still hide. How is that any fair? The strong should flourish and the weak should be the ones underfoot. Wizards should reign supreme. When it comes to mudbloods,” Oh, there he goes saying that word – at least Lily wasn’t around. “There’s so few of them who can understand. Understand our plight. How we’ve been treated by the muggles because we let them. We were burned at the stake, beaten and hurt continuously by the muggles until we went into hiding because we didn’t do what was needed. We didn’t fight back. There are exceptions, but not very many. Lily Evans understands because her own sister treated her differently and like a freak because of her magical blood. I should be able to be proud to be a wizard. I should be able to go out there and show off my power to everyone. And that is exactly what the Death Eaters and the Dark Lord plan to do. We’ll conquer the muggles and take our rightful place atop them.”
Whoa. Nice big speech there. Mostly it was parroting what he had heard from the older Slytherins, but it was so attractive that sort of world – and while yes, he would have to do bad for it, in the end it would be worth it. Those who stood in their way would be crushed. And he would be powerful and beloved. And he could save his mother from his father.
However, when she leaned in, his face blushed even deeper red. He had hoped to save his first kiss for Lily – she was so amazing and beautiful… but if he was taken, maybe then she would get jealous and then they could get together after she realized how much she liked him too… then again, why would she like someone like him?
“R-Right,” His voice cracked slightly, “I – I haven’t – you know… with anyone before.”

She kept her face passive as he talked - well, it was almost a rant, really, finding herself tracing his knuckled with a fingertip. She knew it was an intimate gesture, but best get him used to it so he wouldn't freak out anytime she did have to touch him.
In one way it made sense, but with the way these sort of things worked, there was a right way and a wrong way to go about it. And while, yes, that this 'new world order' would fix things for some... it wouldn't fix it for everyone. It was very similar to that war that happened among the muggles about thirty or so years ago. She sighed.
Her jaw worked, wanting to say something, but knowing she didn't have a leg to stand on in this. What would he care about how the ideals of the Death Eaters would affect her. At this current time, she was nothing but a means to an end. She didn't know if that would ever change. Maybe, her forming a friendship with him would give him a new viewpoint.
She didn't know. What she did know, is that she really enjoyed that look of determination on his face as he spoke and she found herself smiling. Maybe the time would come for that argument, now was not it though. Her opinion wouldn't matter to him, anyway.
She tilted her head, "Neither have I. We're in the same boat here. It's supposed to be awkward and stupid, but if we wanna make it work we can't have you shying away from me."
She grinned at him, "I won't do anything you're uncomfortable with. Plus, you have the control."

Quite honestly, he expected her to argue with him with the propaganda her brother and his friends probably went on about. He wanted to be free. He wanted to belong somewhere. He wanted to be happy and right now, that was the only avenue he could see. Well, for a fake girlfriend, she was doing well already by not arguing with him over this. It almost made him feel like she respected his choices and would let him do what he thought was best. Respect. That wasn’t something he had felt from someone other than Lily in a long time.
His eyes glanced to her hand tracing along his knuckle, feeling his heart beating out of his chest, wanting to pull away from the feeling, but knowing he had to keep pushing on. That was how this would work – otherwise someone would find them out. He would put his all into this cover story – no matter the cost. That was something he was fairly good at – shoving his feelings out of the way, pretending everything was fine. Acting as if something that wasn’t true was true.
“R-Right…” He said it again, swallowing hard as he looked at her, his face now a nice full red against his normally pale skin. “You don’t need to worry about me. I’ll – I can do whatever is needed to make sure this cover works. When I say whatever is needed, I mean it. I’ll do anything to prove to people this is real.”

"Who said I was worried?" she cooed, leaning in, her lips ghosting over his cheek.
Okay. Maybe she was being a liiiitle bit selfish with this fake dating cover. But he didn't seem to be unwilling. But if she wasn't a hundred per cent dedicated; no laziness, no excuses, only results; she knew this whole thing would fail. Cover blown, operation blown, and she would be without wolfsbane, and she wasn't sure how a werewolf that had been medicated would function without it suddenly.
She smiled, "well, there's no need to force yourself for anything. A little P.D.A will probably be enough to convince any questioning eyes."
Though... "I do wonder about your buddies, though. I don't want you to get hurt because of me. This... this quest of mine is not worth that much."
