"Let's cut to the chase and tell us what you want, Miss Snape," Dumbledore sighed, I laughed amusedly.
"Now Headmaster, why do you think I would want anything from them? Maybe I just want to ruin their lives like they did mine." My smile was more sadistic now, Lupin's father cleared his throat.
"I deeply apologize for everything my son and his friends did to you, Miss, and I assure you that we will make it up to you."
"Leave the compensation to us Mr. Lupin, we will take care of it" interrupted Mr. Potter, Lupin's father nodded after considering it.
"Dad?!" James asked in shock, but was only glared at by his parents.
"As I was saying, it's horrible what they did to him, but to ruin my son's life completely? Can I ask you to be more reasonable? " Mr. Lupin pleaded, snorting mockingly.
"Dumbledore had no qualms about threatening to expel me last year if I told anyone that Lupin was a werewolf, they would have broken my wand and I wouldn't have been able to take my OWLs, so why should I care?" I replied mockingly.
"Albus you did what?!" Surprisingly the mortified cry was from McGonagall, I saw Dumbledore grimace, what a surprise, I thought he would be on the side of his Gryffindors.
"And it was a mistake, I was thinking about young Lupin's safety, and since no one was hurt, I didn't think it was that bad," he said affably, I rolled my eyes.
"Of course, a Slytherin almost dying wasn't 'that bad', my life doesn't matter enough compared to a Gryffindor being expelled, even if he deserved it" I scoffed, Dumbledore sighed.
"Miss Snape, I never meant to imply such a thing, I apologize -"
"And I don't accept your apology, let's continue" I rolled my eyes, I could see Dumbledore's expression twitch almost imperceptibly "even if the murder attempt, they made sure to ruin my future, so I don't really feel charitable towards them"
"What do you mean?" Mrs. Potter asked with a frown.
"In case you must know, I'm being sponsored by Lucius Malfoy," I began and they nodded, it was a really big deal to be sponsored by a major house, sponsored people were basically wards of the house and were members of them in all but name.
"We already know you're hanging out with that snake Snape, so what?" Black growled, I rolled my eyes.
"So as you might imagine, Lucius took care of a lot of things on my behalf, last year he started with my marriage prospects" - that's what it seemed to most everyone except the adult Potters - and Mr. Lupin "found a few potential suitors, who, because of them-" I pointed contemptuously at the trio of boys "-all called off negotiations" Black snorted.
"You can't blame us for that Snape, it's not my fault that no one finds you attractive enough to want to be with you" he had a mocking smile.
"Sirius!!" Mrs. Potter's shout made him jump.
"leaving aside that you tried to flirt with me in the summer" I rolled my eyes, Black turned pale and stammered "I meant when they stripped me in public!" I hissed with hatred now, I couldn't help it, the memory only made me furious, indignant, I could hear the gasps of the adults "not only did they attack me from behind when I was unprotected, but they held me in the air before they took off all my clothes! I was left in only my panties, not one person wanted to go through with the engagement when their future fiancée was displayed in public in such a humiliating way!!" I gritted my teeth, I could feel the magic of Baiser Magic wanting to surge forth, so I crushed it down hard, I couldn't transform at the moment but I was sure the stars in my eyes were shining brightly.
"Is it true?" Mrs. Potter was unusually still, expressionless.
"What?! No!!" Potter tried to say, but squirmed under his mother's gaze. "Well, yes! So what?! It was a joke -"
slap my eyes opened wide when Potter's mother slapped him hard, I didn't see that coming, and I wasn't the only one, everyone looked at the woman in shock.
"W-what-?" Potter looked stunned, but was ignored by his mother, who walked over to me and bowed deeply.
"On behalf of House Potter I deeply apologize for any actions and harm my son has caused you, I will make sure to speak with his sponsor to repair any damage he has caused, we will give you more than fair compensation" I looked at her in disbelief, she did not get up from her bowed position.
"Mom?!" Potter looked confused and hurt, as if someone had slapped his puppy.
"Shut up James, just- shut up" I didn't look at him, but I sounded deeply disappointed, Potter's hurt look indicated that he noticed it too, I looked at Mrs. Potter still bent over, I ran my hand through my hair annoyed.
"tch, this isn't fun anymore, get up" he told the woman reluctantly.
"Thank you," Mrs. Potter stood as she returned to her husband's side, neither of them looking at their son.
"How am I finding out about this now?!" McGonagall asked angrily, I rolled my eyes.
"Ask Lupin, you made him a prefect, he just stood back doing nothing, like always, letting his friends get away with it," I snorted, McGonagall looked betrayed.
"Remus?" Mrs. Lupin asked, almost losing her temper, looking at her son pleadingly. Lupin seemed to burst into tears, but looked away from his mother. The woman began to cry and approached her husband, "Let's go," she cried shakily, not even looking at me.
"Evans was there too! Why do you think Snivellus didn't say anything?! Oh yeah , I remember now, why did you call her a Mudblood! " Black defended quickly, another wave of gasps.
"Sirius!" Potter hissed to silence him.
"And whose fault is it?!" I hissed angrily. "I felt humiliated, ashamed, angry and betrayed!"
"Betrayed?! By whom, you were the first to insult Evans"
"Then tell me Black" I hissed hatefully "Tell me how you all learned my spells! You used Levicorpus against me ! I invented it Black! And I only taught it to one person, Lily! So tell me! How did you and your group know how to use it? Did you spy on me?! Did you spy on Lily?! Or did Lily teach it to you!?" My hisses turned into screams as I stood up, the group looked away "Answer me Black!!" I yelled, Black gritted his teeth.
"We followed you Snivellus! We saw you take her to a room by yourself, we don't trust you, of course we followed you!! " I wrinkled my nose and picked her up, calming down once again.
"So they stole my creations and dared to make them public, do you think I didn't notice that now all the students seem to know my spells? They even dared to use them against me, you are despicable Black"
"So what?! They're just stupid spells, it's not that big of a deal!" Black growled.
"Oh Sirius, didn't we teach you anything?" Mr. Potter asked as he rubbed his temple, he looked like he had a headache, and he should, stealing personal spells from a person or family was a serious matter "Miss Snape, I dis -"
"Save it, I don't care" I raised my hand in his direction as I sat back down, not caring if I was being rude "It doesn't matter anymore, Evans doesn't matter"
"Yeah right, we watched you hang around Lily for years and you think we'd believe you just gave up on her?" Potter growled, I rolled my eyes.
"Yes, at the moment of insulting her I realized that I was wrong, and a lot, but for months I tried to apologize, she did not want to listen to it, I understood the message, I have enough respect for myself to not continue humiliating myself for someone who does not even listen to my version of the story, I will always treasure the friendship with Lily that I had, but only that" I took out another cigarette and lit it with a flame that came out of my thumb, I did not want to show my flame alchemy in front of them "let's end this, it has lost all the fun"
"Is there something to talk about? I thought there was no chance of negotiating?" Mr. Potter asked suspiciously, I shrugged.
"I don't care anymore, I'll tell Lucius that I removed the bans for Lupin and Potter, it's still fun knowing that Lupin will have to drink something with my name on it for the rest of his life" I said mockingly, the group seemed to sigh in relief "but-" I interrupted their joy "-I want the mirrors and Potter's cloak"
"What? No!" Potter said quickly.
"Then they don't get the potions ," I shrugged.
"You know about the cloak?" Mr. Potter asked with a frown, I snorted.
"I'm not stupid sir, your son has been making my life miserable these past 5 years, do you think I wouldn't learn anything from him?" I said mockingly "I know about your communication mirrors, the map and the invisibility cloak, of course I do"
"Then you must know that it is not just a cloak, but a Potter heirloom, it has been in our family for generations."
" And ?" I shrugged. "The mirrors and the cloak for the potions . I'll even let any compensation they wanted to give me slide. As long as Potter and the others don't bother me anymore in the future, I won't do anything against them."
"Fine," Potter said suddenly, "if it's for Remus," Potter said, of course he would, his inner Gryffindor wouldn't have it any other way.
"James, no," Lupin pleaded, Potter didn't listen, he pulled the cloak out of his pocket and threw it on the ground in my direction, then pulled out a mirror and threw it on top of him before elbowing Black, Black clicked his tongue, but pulled the other pair out of the mirror and threw it on top of the cloak.
"James, are you sure?" his father asked seriously, Potter nodded determinedly.
"It's just a claok and some mirrors," his father could only sigh tiredly.
"As you wish, they're yours" with that permission given I immediately grabbed the mirrors and put it away, before taking the cloak in my fingers, it felt almost like silk, I immediately folded it carelessly and tucked it inside my robes before tossing it into my inventory, I then took out a small box and set it on Dumbledore's desk, I tapped it three times with my wand and it grew before opening, 10 Wolfbane potions appeared, everyone looked shocked.
"Thank you! Thank you! " Mrs. Lupin cried and immediately hugged her son, I shrugged and started to head for the exit.
"If you don't trust me with those potions you can buy them yourself, I'm leaving, let's never repeat this" I growled reluctantly .
"Wait!" Mrs. Potter's voice stopped me as I was about to leave the office, I frowned.
