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

Kagome sat in the potions classroom as Snape explained the lesion to the students, 6th year Gryffindor and Slytherins. Kagome had a free hour now and wanted to spend it with Snape, seeing as Harry and Draco had him this hour. It was three days after the welcoming celebration. Snape waved his hand over the black board and told the class to get started. He then walked over to his desk and sat down, watching Kagome as she watched Draco then Harry and back.

 

“You know their nothing but trouble.” Snape whispered to her. Kagome blinked rapidly as she looked at Snape. Snape had raised an eyebrow at her as she sighed. She turned her gaze back to the boys. She was quite before speaking.

 

“Does it matter, trouble always finds me. Like the time with the snake.” Snape nodded. He remembered all too well her third year at Hogwarts.

 

~*Flash back*~

A nine-year-old Kagome walked across the grounds, checking that no one was around. She sat down between the castle and the forbidden forest. She checked one more time that no one was coming from the castle or around watching her. Kagome laid down and watched the stares, now ignoring all that was around her. Unknown to her a pair of eyes watched her every movement. The nine-year-old girl watched the stars and sighed.

 

“Why must I be emotionless to please my farther*sigh*I'll never understand him or his ways and why does he hate uncle?”

 

The girl continued to watch the stars as the pair of eyes closed in on the girl. Kagome was so busy with her thoughts; she didn't see the snake that belonged to the pair of eyes until someone yelled, “watch out”. The girl turned to the snake as it started to strike at her. She screamed as the sneak hit a barrier and then was destroyed. Kagome looked up to see professor Snape with his wand out. The girl got up and ran to Snape, throwing her arms around him.

 

“I'm sorry. I just wanted some time alone to be myself without my farther knowing. I didn't mean to cause trouble. I'll never do it again, please don't tell him!” The girl cried.

 

Snape looked at the crying girl in his arms. He sighed as he picked her up and walked back to the castle. Looking around to make sure no one was watching, and mead his way to his office. Kagome had quitted when they reached to castle and all the way to Snape's office. He put the girl down in an armchair by the fire and got her some hot chocolate to calm her down. She took several drinks, then set the glass down.

 

“Sir why are you being so nice to me? I mean you aren't your normal self.” She looked at the professor with confused eyes. Snape stood and walked over to his desk. He pulled out a medium folder, walking back over to where he sat and handed the girl the folder. Kagome looked at it for a minute, then Snape who gestured to open it, and back to the folder. She opened it and pulled out a small piece of paper that read:

 

<I, Aio Higurashi, grant guardianship of Kagome Aio Higurashi to Severus Snape and claim him godfather to said child if anything happens to me and my wife, Korari Higurashi. He will have full custody of said child if both parents are dead>

 

Kagome read the paper again then set it down. She then looked at Snape, opining her mouth and closing it several times before speaking.

 

“So you're my godfather?” Snape nodded. “ And if my parents die you gain custody of me and Sota?” again Snape nodded.

 

“Yes, but only you, Sota will go to Dumbledore. I also have a godson.” Kagome waited to see if he would continue before asking whom. Snape smirked at her curiosity and replied “Draco Malfoy”

 

~*End flash back*~

Kagome stared into space, remembering the memory clearly. She looked at Draco as he worked on his potion then to Harry as he talked to Ron and Hermione. Kagome had never told anyone that Severus was her godfather. Snape waited as he watched his goddaughter, waiting for her to speak. He knew she would speak her mind when she was ready too.

 

“I hated the fact that my father wanted me to be like him; emotionless, strong, powerful, and a big supporter of him.” Snape nodded again, looking at the class. He spoke to her keeping his eyes on the class.

 

“You will make him happy, both Draco and Potter or else.” Kagome looked shocked at this statement but hid it well. She kept a firm mask in place as she once again watched Draco and Harry.

 

“Severus you know I would never hurt a fellow Slytherin.” Snape glared at her, which made her giggle lightly. “Okay, okay you win. I wont hurt either Draco or Harry, happy? But what makes you think I want them.” Kagome looked at him.

 

“I know you Kagome.” Snape looked at the class again and stood up. He walked over to Neville Longbottom and started asking questions. Kagome watched him for a few seconds then turned her attention back to the boys.

 

`Stop staring at me or I'll mess up' Kagome rolled her eyes at Draco's comment.

 

`Fine I wont stare at your fine body, I'll just look at Harry's.' This caused Harry to blush and Ron to ask questions. Snape noticed this and looked at Kagome, who looked away guilty. Snape shook her head and continued to question Longbottom.

 

“I wonder what Snape and Kagome are talking about?” asked Ron. He looked at Harry as he put his ingredients in his cauldron.

 

“Haven't the slightest idea, but it looks like their good friends.” Ron snorted at this.

 

“Snape have friends? Ya right maybe their just talking about how to make our lives more miserable.” Hermione elbowed Ron.

 

“Did you ever stop to think that maybe professor Snape does have friends and maybe their talking about lesions?” Harry and Ron looked at Hermione and were quite for the rest of class.

 

When class ended, Kagome followed Harry, Ron, and Hermione to Defense Against the Dark Arts. The trio sat down as Kagome walked up to professor Lupin. They talked for a minute as everyone entered the room and sat down. Harry noticed several Hufflepuffs staring at Kagome. For some odd reason, Harry felt jealous at their stares. When the bell rang, Lupin addressed the class.

 

“Now I know you all had me back in your third year but this year were going to try something new. On Dumbledore's request, Kagome here will be trained with you but on a much higher level. I want you to respect her and if she gives you advice listen, it might be helpful.” Kagome rolled her eyes. “She will also take care of me classes three time a month. Now today were going to review what you've learned in your first five years.”

 

He then proceeded to go over the information they learned, mostly just skimming it. When they reached boggarts, he wanted some people to see if they can `drive away thing that scares them most' as Lupin said. He picked Ron, Neville, Dean, and three Hufflepuffs. Harry understood why he wasn't chosen but was surprised when Kagome stood at the end of the line.

 

“Now I want you to think of the thing that scares you most and turn it into something funny. When you've tackled the boggart, I want you to sit back down. Kagome will finish the boggart off. Ron you first.”

 

Ron walked up, wand ready. Lupin moved a trunk to the center of the room. He looked at Ron, who nodded, and opened the lid. Out came a spider about 12 feet tall. The spider started to make it's was to Ron when he yelled riddikulus. Skates appeared on the spiders eight feet, and fell carelessly to the floor. The class started to laugh at this as one of the Hufflepuffs stepped up. The spider turned into a snake that was ten feet long. With a cry of riddikulus the snake turn into an over grown worm that wore a pink outfit. They watched as the boggart turned into vela, then professor Snape, to a mummy, and a troll. Then Kagome's turn came.

 

The boggart turned into a man, who had long black hair and wore a white baboon pellet. Several people whispered what could be so scary about this man. Suddenly several tentacles shot out at Kagome. Her instance kicked in and rolled under them. She stood as the tentacles changed course and went after her again. Kagome sidestepped right and pointed her wand at the boggart crying riddikulus. The man turned into another man but in red with sliver hair. Before anyone could get a good look at him, he slammed into the ground repeatedly several times. The class started laughing uncontrollable and Harry saw as Kagome placed both hands over her mouth, trying not to laugh. She hadn't even snickered once at the others but he could see her shoulders shaking. Lupin had put the boggart away and smiled as Kagome's giggles reached his ears.

 

“Now it seems as we all know how to take care of a boggart.”

 

He laughed and finished off the lesson. As he went through red caps, Harry and Ron noticed several things floating by Kagome. They could see Kagome move her hands as the object moved with her, rearranging Lupin's things. When Lupin was done there were ten minutes left of class. He told them to talk quietly tell the bell rang. He walked up to his desk and sat down, staring at Kagome.

 

“That was mean.” Lupin looked at her and smiled.

 

“Yes it was but you did laugh.” Kagome glared at him. Harry watched them talk, as well as several Hufflepuffs who shuddered at her glare. Harry wondered why Kagome never did laugh.

 

“No, I almost, almost giggled and don't make me do it again.” She said as she smiled at him. Lupin shook his head and went to grab a piece of parchment but noticed there were none where he put them. He looked at Kagome who pointed to the ceiling as the bell rang. Lupin shook his head as Kagome returned the parchment to his desk and left.

 

At lunch Kagome sat with Kagome sat with Dumbledore and talked in whispers to him. Harry sat with Ron and Hermione but talked with Draco. They were discussing Kagome and what happened in DADA. Draco was surprised that a man scared her but he too wondered why Kagome tried not to laugh.

 

`So let me get this straight, Kagome didn't even snicker once but when her turn came she was giggling? That doesn't make since.' Draco was confused but didn't show it.

 

`I know but what I want to know is what happened in her past that made it so she doesn't laugh.' Harry thought. This was all too confusing to him.

 

`Yes maybe we should get her to go some where privet with us to talk?' Draco suggested.

 

`Or maybe you should stop talking about me as if I can't hear you and as for my past don't ask.' Kagome replied. Both boys looked up to see her looking at them. They turned back to their original conversations.

 

Kagome shook her head at the two. Maybe she could tell them something…no they would ask questions to things she wasn't ready to answer. She turned to Dumbledore as he talked with McGonagall about how things were going in the order. Kagome tried to eat but knew she would need to talk to someone soon. Snape tapped Kagome on her arm to get her attention.

 

“Tonight at seven come to the potions class, we'll get started on your first potion.” Kagome nodded and left to her next class. She entered charms as the first years started to enter. She sat at professor Flitwick's desk and decided that she wasn't going to tell anyone about her friends. She noticed this class held Gryffindors and Slytherins. Professor Flitwick explained about the lavation charm, Wingerdium Leviosa. He taught the class the wand movements but wouldn't let them try it yet. Kagome watched the class try to pronounce it right, whishing that she had Sango to talk to.

 

Harry and Ron had Divination this hour and Harry wanted nothing more than to talk to Kagome alone and get to know her. He saw how she acted when professor Lupin tried to get her to laugh. That glare would even scare Lucius Malfoy. Harry hated this class; professor Trelawney had a way of predicting his death at least ten times a year since third year.

 

“Now this term we're going to study about the meanings of dreams. Now I want you to look beyond the dream to find the real meaning. Partner up with the person next to you and begin.”

 

Harry turned to Ron and flipped through as Ron told him about his dream. Ron had also opened his book and started to flip through. Harry tried to remember what he dreamed about last night. He had been stand in an open filed. There were flowers everywhere and then he saw Kagome but she wasn't alone. She sat a bit from him but with a girl dressed in a green skirt and a purple and white shirt. The girl put a comforting arm around Kagome as Kagome just stared at the village not far from them.

 

“Don't worry Kagome we'll defeat Naraku and then you and Inuyasha can be happy together.” Kagome shook her head.

 

“Sango that's just it, I can't be with Inuyasha. He wants Kikyo and only Kikyo. Why do you think he's been missing at night? She been following us for two weeks straight.” The girl name Sango shook her head as her eyes widened.

 

“No it can't be…you mean he's chosen already?” Kagome sighed and hung her head.

 

“I don't know any more. One minute he's nice and friendly, the next he's rude and edgy that we'll find out something, I whish that he'll just come out and tell me what's going on.” A breeze blew both girls hair. Harry found himself walking to Kagome but neither girl noticed his presence.

 

“I whish that half-breed stops playing with your emotions Kagome. After everything we've been through you deserve happiness more than Inuyasha.” Kagome smiled as she turned to the Sango. Kagome hugged her and thanked her. Kagome then stood up and looked at the village.

 

“No matter what happens I have to return to my time to stop someone. We need to run in with Sesshomaru soon, can you find out from Kirara? I need to talk with him.” Sango nodded and left. Kagome stood for a moment longer looking at the setting sun. The field of flowers started to disappear as Harry begin to wake. The last thing he herd was “I have to let him go”

 

“Harry are you alright mate?” Harry looked at Ron. He had been daydreaming about his dream. After Harry reassured Ron he begin to flip through his book again. Ron kept staring at Harry but didn't say anything.

 

Half an hour later the bell rang and Harry hurried to the Gryffindor common room. He and Ron had a free hour now and he wanted to spend it out doors. As he and Ron headed to the grand hall they passed Draco and their group of Slytherins. They had been told to keep up their hatred for each other in front of others for now. Harry grabbed on to Ron's robes and tried to pull him along with out starting a fight but that didn't happen.

 

“Hey weasel how life in the one room hole?” asked Pansy as they passed. Ron turned to punch her but Harry pulled Ron behind him and faced the group of Slytherins.

 

“Why don't you keep your lame insults to your self for once in your pitiful lives.” Harry said to Pansy. Draco stepped up to Harry and sent him a challenging glare.

 

“Why Potter I don't think she was talking to you but you seem to want stand up for those who can't.” Draco directed his comment to Ron. Harry lost it and punched Draco in the face. Draco stumbled backwards but then threw himself at Harry. The two exchanged blows until professor Snape walked down the hall and broke the fight up.

 

“What is going on her Potter?” Snape looked at Harry, then at Ron and back to Harry.

 

“Ron and I were fine until Malfoy said that Ron couldn't stand up for him self because I prevented Ron from fighting.” Snape looked at Draco than Harry before speaking.

 

“Ten points from Gryffindor and detention for both Potter and Malfoy tonight at seven. Come to the potions classroom. Now no more fighting.” With that Snape left. The two boys looked at each other before going their separate ways. Harry dreaded for seven to come but he learned the hard way, you dreaded something it only comes faster.

 

At seven Harry made his way to the potions classroom. He met up with Draco at the door and both boys walked in. Harry was surprised to Kagome there but shook it off. Snape ordered them to clean caldrons, no magic. When the started Snape turned his attention to Kagome. Harry saw she had ingredients out and was brewing something. He and Draco talked using their link. Harry explained that Draco should go easy on Ron when they were alone. Draco agreed but said that Ron would need to keep his anger in check. The two got to know each other better. Draco learned about Harry's problems and that Harry felt that everything that Voldemort did was his fault. Draco simply said that Voldemort was sick and twisted. Harry learned that Draco's farther expected much better of him than Draco could give.

 

Kagome listened to the two talk as she made her potion, Veritaserum. Kagome always liked hard potions and ones that take time to brew. Ashe waited for time to pass, she thought about her dream she had. It was the last time her and Sango got to talk together alone. The next they ran into Naraku and she was killed, followed by Miroku, Koga, Ayame, Shippo and then Kohaku. The only ones who lived were Rin, Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, Kikyo, and herself. Inuyasha went to hell with Kikyo not long after and Kagome trained for three months.

 

“What are you thinking about that has you so tense?” Kagome looked up at her godfarther and shook her head. She returned to her potion and got done what she could for the night. She listened to the boys talk again and smiled. Maybe they are just what she needed…that is if they can handle her past.
