Third person's point of view,

Mia sat in Snow's room; the older girl lay resting and still unconscious; Eva stood next to her, staring down at Snow as well. "Don't worry, Mia; I'll figure out what that bitch did," Eva promised as she set her hand on the autumnette's shoulder. "Thanks, Eva,"  Mia said sweetly before taking hold of Snow's hand, 

Taking notice of the ring there on her finger, Mia looked closer, recognizing it from a book she'd read about the founding families; Mia looked at Eva, who was flipping through a book. She was deep in thought and hadn't noticed Mia's change in attention. "Eva, who are Snow's real parents?" Mia asked. Eva froze for a split second. As much as Eva took a liking to Mia, 

Snow's parentage wasn't her's to explain; that was up to Snow to explain, "The most I can explain is that they are powerful and well known," Eva explained, "Did that Elyna girl know who they were," Mia asked dispiritedly. "No matter what advice, either myself or Professor Snape gave, Snow was adamant about telling Elyna. Snow didn't want any secrets," Eva said,

"Snow's break up didn't end well, and it scared her from ever opening up like that again, but I can see how much she cares for you. Just stick with Snow, and she's bound to spill her guts," this made Mia giggle a bit; Mia looked back at Snow and then leaned over the older girl. "I'll be back," Mia cooed,

Kissing Snow on the nose before stepping out of the room and then the Slytherin Common room, going to the library, Mia looked along the shelves for the book she wanted, when she found it, it was depicted a bit differently but, from the information and the way that the book explained it Mia knew what it was.

Snow woke up alone, her head hurt, and she was thirsty. There was a strange taste in her mouth, and she didn't know what it was. Sitting up and looking around, she felt like something was missing, her chest felt tight, and her eyes felt fuzzy. Blinking as many times as she could to clear it, it was working. 

Climbing out of her bed, she grabbed her got dressed in her trousers, school shirt and then her robes. Tucking her wand away, she slung her locket around her neck and then slipped her ring on, which instantly heightened everything around her, making the fuzziness fade a bit. Rolling her eyes, she thought to herself, "My parents are amazing..." she marvelled.

But slowly, the taste she had in her mouth started to become familiar. Her mood darkened, "She had to use that one, didn't she," Snow said rhetorically, "That little..." she cursed softly, feeling a wave of evil rise up; Snow came up with a plan, it would show Elyna that there was nothing she could do that would make Snow think any differently about her.

But first, Snow needed to speak with Severus, and he would be the only one able to brew the perfect cure to the potion Elyna had Snow drink, even though her charmed and warded locket and ring help taking them off would be a hindrance to her as the potion would bleed through and cloud Snow's thoughts. 

So on her way to his office, she analyzed the potion and what it was supposed to do and scoffed when she saw how degrading it was and that it planned to spur on the hostility between Slytherins and Gryffindors. The potion was supposed to make Snow kneel down on their hands and knees and beg to go out with Elyna.

And to overall act like a complete heartbroken slob. But she planned to milk it for all it was worth until Elyna caved. Stepping into Severus' office, Snow closed the door and set off a charm to let him know without ruining whatever he was brewing that she was there, "Snow?" he called from the back office, 

"Yeah, we need to talk," she called while moving through the classroom. It was empty as he either didn't have a class or he had sent them to study on their own, "Yes, we do," he said, waving his wand and casting several charms to watch and keep up with his potion. "What happened why did she do that?" he asked,

Having come in just as Snow had been forced to into the kiss, "Well..." she started then shot into the story,

Several days later, when Snow saw Elyna again, there had been rumours going around about Snow's friends and family, especially about Mia and Snow wasn't having it. It was the end of lunch when she came in; several students near her stopped talking and watched her as she moved through the Great Hall towards the Gryffindor table, 

Elyna's potion had Snow feeling the pheromones coming off her, fighting an angry scoff; she moved towards the tiny girl. Elyna twisted around in her seat so that she could stand, and when she did, Snow made sure that the look on her face showed that Elyna's potion worked, but as soon as Snow was within reach of Elyna she regretted standing up,

The students around Elyna moved plates and goblets out of the way as Snow literally pinned Elyna against the table, "There is a reason I broke up with you," she said as she looked down on the girl, she was shivering and shaking with fear, as Snow's magical presence overwhelmed her. "If you ever threaten or say things that aren't true against anyone I care about, you'll regret it," 

She said, and her glare darkened, "Do I make myself clear?" she snarled, and Elyna looked on the verge of tears as she nodded, squeaking out a terrified 'yes' before Snow let her up, looking at the rest of the Gryffindor table she added, "That goes for all of you as well," they all recoiled and nodded, 

"Your Great Uncle and I have some things to discuss; stay away from my family and me, Elyna, I mean it." Snow finished before leaving, using her magic to slam the doors closed behind her.
