DISCLAIMER – BEFORE I START, ALL CHARACTERS EXCEPT FOR ALYSSA SNAPE AND ALYSSA SEYMORE BELONG TO J.K. ROWING.

The Order was gathered around the dining table at Number 12 Grimmauld Place watching Sirius and Severus have yet another verbal battle.
"And there's the snake!" Sirius' voice boomed across the room towards the pale-skinned, black-haired man who was only about 10 minutes late, on Order business. "How kind of you to finally grace us with your presence!"
"Sirius, sit down", ordered Albus Dumbledore. "Severus was on Order business and was expected to be late, I told you this." Though his voice remained calm, his eyes lost their signature twinkle.
"So what! Just because he's a murdering psychopath, he gets let off! If I were…" Sirius' voice trailed off mid-sentence as he noticed for the first time the wand which had pointed at him a few moments before.
"How. Dare. You." It was the first time Severus had spoken and his voice dripped with malice. "I am not a psychopath."
"And you know this because?"
"I know this because my daughter is!" It was the first time Severus had spoken of a child and the fierce noise bouncing off the walls had rapidly morphed into a bewildered silence, which was only broken a few seconds later by Sirius' laughter.
"Sirius?" an unnaturally calm voice spoke. "What's so funny?"
"Just him!" the man in hysterics replied. "Him, thinking we would believe him if he said he had a child! Demons can't have children!"
"Severus?" asked a decidedly red-haired woman, who was losing her surprise by the minute.
"Yes, Molly?"
"What's her name?"
"Alyssa. After Alyssa Seymore the…" replied the dark-haired wizard, before promptly being cut off by a scarred man, who apparently wished to disappear into a corner.
"Werewolf." The simple word from the honest mouth of Remus Lupin was followed by a decisive silence from the rest of the table, who had started mumbling. "She was the first female Alpha, the first werewolf to be able to control her transformations and she founded Praetor Lupus" Sirius was clearly startled by this information. "And this Party Loopy thing, what is it?", then fell silent as two voices replied, almost in unison. "A hospital. For werewolves.", before the snake stopped talking and the wolf continued. "How do you know that?" The black-haired man then replied that "My wife is… was… yeah... she chose..." before he broke down into tears. "How old is she?" Molly asked, evidently trying to divert the conversation. "4." Severus surprisingly didn't choke through his tears, evidently getting everything 'under control'. "And she's a psychopath." "Actually, she's a sociopath, which is a type of psychopathic behaviour, meaning she can't feel positive emotions but she can fake them, and she has savant autism, meaning she's really good at non-vocal spells, potions and these muggle things called maths and science, but she's not really great at abstract concepts." Everyone on the table then proceeded to look incredibly confused, prompting an answer from Severus. "Abstract concepts are stuff like talking and forming relationships and stuff." "Oh my god!"
