Back again

[Rori Logan]

Rori laughed at Voltaire's comment and shook her head at him. She turned back to Isabelle. "Well, the other nights, since that day the deaths happened in Hogsmeade, I've been having nightmares. Everytime I close my eyes, I see his eyes. That's why I haven't been able to sleep. I've never seen Voldemort before. Then today, when I passed out, it was like I was trapped in the nightmare. I tried to wake up, but I couldn't. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get out."

[Isabella Rothschild]

Isabella hugged her again, her eyes not leaving Voltaire's face. "What you described... that's how he looks. He used to be human, but his face his been twisted beyond recognition. Just like you described." She shuddered, wondering how Rori was able to describe him if she'd never seen him before. Pulling back, she looked at Rori carefully. "We're going to be really careful, Rori, I promise. But right now, we need to get you a potion so you can sleep without dreams. You really need to rest; you're exhausted."

[Natalie St. Clare]

"It isn't going to happen," Natalie spoke up suddenly. "It's not a real prophecy. If it was, I would have seen it when I met you last week. I didn't. I saw the two of you together, with a baby, but I didn't see you dying. That means it won't happen soon."

[Rori Logan]

Rori looked at the girl. She noticed she was a little younger than she. "Thanks." she said to the girl. Rori looked back at Isabelle. "I'll take the potion if you promise not to leave me all by myself."

[Isabella Rothschild]

"We won't leave you, Rori, I promise," Isabella said, holding her hand. "Poppy, could you get her the dreamless sleep potion?"

[Natalie St. Clare]

"You really should get it from Severus," Natalie said again. "That way it isn't addictive."

[Isabella Rothschild]

Isabella turned to look at Natalie. "That's a good idea," she said. "Can you find him for us?"

[Voltaire Rothschild]

"I think i like the way this kid is thinking. So who is this Severus man? when did he develop a new dreamless sleep?" asked Voltaire looking at the girl. He turned to Rori and kissed her temple. "Are you willing to take it?" he asked her.

[Natalie St. Clare]

"He's been working on it for a while, but he just finished it the other day," Natalie said. "He makes it for me. He's a first year, and in Slytherin. I'm sure he'll make it for Rori. I'll go find him." She got up and walked out of the room.

[Voltaire Rothschild]

"Isa, he's a boy. How did he make such a breakthrough?" Voltaire was more than a little worried about a potion made by an eleven year old. Voltaire moved his hand from holding Rori's to catching her wrist and feeling how her heart was beating. it was still a little fast. "You don't gotta worry kiddo I'll be here all day and night if i have too" he said looking worriedly at Isa. The news that Rori knew what the dark lord looked like just made him more nervous.

[Rori Logan]

Rori nodded. "I'll take it. Don't worry Voltaire. I trust Severus with my life. He's a good friend." she said assuring him it would be okay.

[Isabella Rothschild]

"I've heard Horace Slughorn talk about him quite a lot," Isabella said. "He's supposed to be excellent in potions. He says the boy is one of the best he's ever seen. We can go find Horace if you want to be sure it's safe..."

[Voltaire Rothschild]

"I think that's best, I'm a little worried that the little girl seems to be already taking it!" Voltaire said looking towards the door, it felt like forever since the girl left to fetch the boy.

[Isabella Rothschild]

"I'll see if I can find him, then," Isabella said, although she was reluctant to leave. She gave Rori a little hug, and kissed Voltaire quickly before hurrying out of the room.

[Severus Snape]

Severus ran into professor Rothschild Just a short ways away from the hospital wing. "Hello professor! I made that potion for you. I was Just going to have madame Poppy test it before i gave it to you" said severus not really noticing that Professor Rothschild was looking at him oddly.

[Isabella Rothschild]

Isabella looked down at him. "Hi, Severus. Did Natalie tell you we needed you?"

[Severus Snape]

"uh...No i was just in the potions lab, I had been changing the potion that i'm sure Madame poppy had been giving you. It should no longer have the side effects that the old potion has, i was taking it to her so she could make sure it wasn't going to make you sick or worse" he said pulling out one of the flasks of potions he had started carrying around with him.

[Isabella Rothschild]

Isabella blinked at him. "You made a potion for me? Because I was sick?" She smiled. "That's really sweet of you, Severus. What we need now is the potion you've been making for Natalie. The dreamless sleep potion? Rori's having terrible nightmares. Do you think you could make some of that for us? And we could have Madam Pomfrey check it to make sure it's OK?"

[Severus Snape]

"Oh i have extra vials of it, I know it works fine, I used it, Emily uses it. we both haven't suffered any ill effects, I already perfected it and i wrote it down, professor Slughorn said it was brilliant work!" he said blushing slightly, pulling out a small bottle of the clear smokey blue potion.

[Isabella Rothschild]

Isabella looked at the potion. "Professor Slughorn's already checked it?" she said. She smiled. "That's great! Come on, let's bring this in to Rori."
