There are advantages to having been Sorted to Slytherin - even when you're the Girl Who Lived and therefore constantly getting Howlers and other assorted forms of hate mail from disappointed former Gryffindors who expected you to join their ranks. Foremost among those advantages is having a Head of House who liked your mother a lot and enjoys annoying your godfather by maintaining an avuncular relationship. This is especially useful if you're a sixth-year Potions student and the Professor in question has just given you his old textbook as a birthday gift.
Heather Potter is curled up in a booth, reading Professor Snape's instructions with avid interest and looking forward to the look on Hermione Granger's face when Heather beats her at Potions again. At least it's a friendly rivalry.
(OOC: Obviously, this is a very different Chosen One. Blame it on me wanting to combine my two current favorite HP fanfiction memes: Slytherin!Harry and Girl!Harry. Since Heather resembles her mother rather than her father, she's had rather a harder time with her aunt, leading to even worse treatment than in canon and also leading her to go to Slytherin instead of Gryffindor. Fortunately for her, it's also made things rather better between her and Snape. Heather is about to start her sixth year, and in her world, as per JKR's original plan, Arthur Weasley is dead but Sirius Black is not.
Oh, and also she's dating Draco Malfoy. Have fun!)
