Is It Worth It? Good or Evil?

40

at lunch I decide it's time to start my newest projects Longbottom and getting to know the first years

first I go up to the head table so I can talk to Severus

"What do you want" Severus snaps

My eyes go wide "First don't snap at me"

he starts pouting "You haven't come to see me yet"

"Exactly yet, and that is no reason to yell at me" I whisper yell at him

now all the other professor are staring at us

I look at them "Don't you all have something else to stare at?"

they look away fast

I sigh "I'm sorry Severus I should have come to see you first thing. I missed you"

he smiles "I missed you too"

with a smirk I say "I've decided my new project"

he raises his eyebrows

"Neville" I tell

Severus looks at me in disbelief "What are you going to do? Get Longbottom not to die?"

I purse my lips "He has potential. If I can get the headmaster to like me then I can get anyone to do anything I want"

he groans "What's the first step"

"Let me teach him potions without you there" I ask

"Fine" he says

I kiss his hand "bye love"

I walk towards Neville who is right by the golden idiots

"Neville" I say

"Leave him alone Hadrian" Charles snaps

I roll my eyes looking at Neville "Professor Snape has asked me to tutor you in potions, but I'm not going to make you do anything"

"He would never" Weasley snaps

why is everyone snapping at me today

I sigh "I want to do this, because you have so much untapped potential. It's not a trick I promise. Look if you want be at Professor Snape's room at seven. He will not be there"

I walk back to the Slytherin table and sit down with the first years

they all stare at me before one ask "Why are you here"

I look at the kid "I did say I was going to pick one of you. What's your name"

"Julius Burke" the boy says

I furrow my eyebrows "I don't like your name" I turn to the girl by him

"Evelyn Eibon" she says

I frown "no"

I look at the last boy on that side "Kaleb Gamp"

I have to choose someone from the sacred 28

the last girl on that side says "Sophia Lestrange"

Lestrange huh

I look towards the three kids on my side of the bench when a boy speaks up "Cyril Nott"

the next boy says "Zayn Shafiq"

then the girl says "Annabelle Shackebolt"

I look around "Sofia and Annabelle are my two picks. I will make a final choice by the end of the week"

that's when I take my seat back by my 'friends'

"What was that about" Draco asks

I look over "I've decided that Neville Longbottom is going to be my newest project"
