Snapes POVI looked down at the sea of first years from my seat in the headmasters chair, as they waited to be sorted, I recognised most of them from their parents years here at hogwarts, I drifted off into a pleasant day dream where I was torturing first year nitwits at potions before three names brought me back to reality with a jolt.
"Lenora Weasley" Professor Mcgonagall called, the young red-head skipped forward and placed the hat on her head a moments silence then "GRYFFINDOR" the girl skipped off amid cheers to gain her place in the lions den getting greeted by older friends and family.
"Annabelle Weasley" an identical red-head skipped forward, a moments silence then "SLYTHERIN"//what? No no no!!// I was thinking // a Weasley in slytherin, what's the world coming too// the girl had given a little wave to her twin and skipped to claim her place in the snake pit.
"Marie Lilly Potter" a long black haired girl stepped forward and calmly walked over to the stool placing the hat on her head as she did so //hmm she's a lot calmer than her cousins// "SLYTHERIN" the shout jolted me out of my thoughts then sent me straight back into them //a potter in slytherin, I would love to have seen James face right now// I smirked thinking of the elder potter.// I wonder where Harry is now after he left the way he did just writing me a letter still a reckless brave dunderhead I bet//
Flashback
I opened the door to Harry's and mine flat it was his 21st birthday and I wanted to surprise him. We had brought the flat the summer after Harry's seventh year and he had graduated with flying colours we had brought this flat together and had been living here 3yrs already. Walking into the kitchen I wondered what Harry would fancy for dinner when I noticed the letter on the table picking it up I began to read. SevI don't love you anymore, I'm sorry,
I've left London it's best you don't try to find me
Harry
After reading I sunk to my knees as I tried to comprehend him leaving, why would he leave like that I cried all night and stayed home for a week not moving from that one spot till Minerva had intervened
End Flashback
Glaring I stood and welcomed the newest bunch of incompetent brats to hogwarts before sitting down to the glorious feast in front of me.
Marie's POVI walked to the slytherin table and sat down next to an older student who looked a lot like Draco Malfoy when he was at school, despite having been isolated from the wizarding world dad had an old photo album which had pictures of all his friends and there names from that I could identify a few of my teachers such as:
Draco Malfoy- dada professor
Minerva Mcgonagall- transfiguration mistress
Hermoine Granger-school nurse
Ron Weasley-quidditch coach and
Severus Snape-potions master
The others I didn't recognise
As dinner finished I followed the prefect down to the dungeon where we met up with professor Snape "chaos is the password, forget and you will be sleeping out here" he spoke softly yet everyone heard him.
Entering the green and silver common room the girls were directed down one corridor the boys another.
Just as I was about to get into my bed my, I suppose you can call her my cousin being that my father and her father are blood brothers, Annabelle Weasley otherwise known as Annie popped up beside me "Rie! How are you, it's great we're in the same house, how's your dad" she asked all in one breath excitement etched on her face that so resembled George Weasley except for the hair which was all martins it was red but darker than any Weasley hair. "I'm fine, yes it's great, my dad's fine too" I answered lying coming easy to me. I had to protect my dad, no one needed to know how far the hero of the world had fallen.
Closing the drapes I started thinking bout my dad// I hope he is fine// I mused, he had been fine till I was six sure he had been doing drugs but only occasionally and he was still in touch with his friends then he started to push them all out saying we were moving abroad but really we only moved to muggle London. I never knew my other father dad never talked about him, then again he never talked much anyway unless it was to tell me to go to my room or get Muffy our house elf and my main bringer upper he wasn't really a dad at all more like someone I had to look after.
Flashback
"Daddy" I called, as I made my way down the stairs a little bit unsteady on my legs. I woke up because of a bad dream and I needed my daddy, entering his study I could see he wasn't there "Muffy" I called a bit worried //where was my daddy? Had he taken more of the funny white stuff that made him forget who I was and who he was supposed to be?// "yes Miss Marie" Muffy squeaked shaking me out of thoughts "have you seen daddy" I asked "Master Harry went out and asked me to watch Miss Rie" Muffy replied pulling on my sleeve "come on Miss Rie you needs sleep" The house elf continued I allowed her to lead me back to bed where she sat with me till I drifted off into reluctant sleep End Flashback Now at 32 he had a routine go out, get high, and crash at home, then repeat. Drugged up every day he stole, mugged, sold his body and nearly killed for drugs. No longer recognisable as the man who killed Voldemort, his hair hung long and limp, matted at the ends, his once vibrant eyes were dull and lifeless, The body he once had toned from years of quidditch had become sunken and sallow, some days he didn't even remember he had a daughter. Much less that he was a wizard. But I had to protect him he was my dad after all. XxxxxxXSnape's POVAs I glided into my potions room hoping to scare the first years I noticed Marie Potter sitting next to Annabelle Weasley. Marie looked so pale and sallow, her black hair hung just lower than her shoulders; her onyx eyes were reading her potions books tiredly.
//Harry must like people with onyx eyes, then again if she's 11 now she would have been born a few months after our spit, was she the reason he left? Had he been cheating on me? Or is she mine? // As soon as that thought crossed my mind I squashed it immediately //nah Harry would have told me, he knew how much I wanted a kid// I reassured myself as I settled into my welcoming speech well rehearsed over the years "potions is an art form, after this lesson I will be able to tell if you can make potions or if I am doomed to have complete idiots unable to brew a potion without blowing it up" here my eyes linger on longbottom "we are going to start with a basic healing potion the ingredients are on the board the instructions in your book, first person to talk loses ten points". I threatened in general; I enjoyed being a bastard in general.
Marie had copied the instructions, collected her ingredients and was busy making her way back to her seat when I saw her collapse. I hurried over and picked her up barking a general stay don't touch anything to the students over my shoulders as I ran up to Hermoine granger the nurse.
"Moine" I called as I rushed in and placed Marie on a spare bed. "Yes Sev what is it?" she called as she bustled out of her office reminding me of poppy her mentor. "Marie" she gasped as recognition hit her "what happened" she carried on bustling round Marie running diagnostic spells as she went "she was bout to start a task and collapsed" I replied "I will be making my way back to my class" I added as I left the wing. "She just seems stressed" I heard as the door swung shut.
Marie's POVI groaned as I woke up my head and my side hurt, this must be the hospital wing I realised. //Great way to start off the term// I thought to myself, as I went to sit up. "Rie, you're awake how are you feeling now?" Moine asked as she bustled out of office. "I'm fine just a bit sore." I replied she looked like she wanted to ask something else but shut her mouth and walked off to get a pain potion, which she handed to me. "You get some more rest and you'll be released at dinner time" she called before walking off to her office again.
XxxxxxX
Two months had passed and I had settled in pretty good, I was getting good grades and I made some good friends like Stanley longbottom, who was a cross of his mum Luna and Neville his dad in other words dreamy and terrible at potions, Dorian Malfoy who was exactly like his dad. Lennie and Annie Weasley who were mini-marauders. Camilla Ann Stevenson who was a muggle-born who surprisingly put Dorian in his place once she got to know us she was a bit reserved at first but now we find out she is pretty scatty (a/n: as in the arty crazy kind of scatty) and has a wicked sense of humour. She was an average build and height with black hair with a dark red sheen and red tips and dark green eyes. It was nearly time for the holidays and I was headed home to check on my dad. We had promised to exchange owls and presents which we had already brought in our last hogsmede weekend.
Stepping into a turning outside Kings Cross I pulled out a portkey and whispered activate and left. This was my mode of transport as I knew better than to take any of my school money home, as dad would spend it on drugs. I had two portkeys one took me to Diagon Alley and one to Kings Cross it was the last bit of magic dad did.
Entering Dockhead Road I hurried to our block of flats not wanting to linger outside with my belongings that I had needed to bring home for the holidays. Walking up the stairs to our dingy flat I passed many drunks loitering on the stairs. Opening the door the stench of alcohol and sex reeked in the air. I headed past the peeling wallpaper that even Muffy couldn't fight but at least the place was cleanish, dropping my bag by the stairs. Entering the lounge I expected to see my dad on the couch high like he usually is by now but no the place was empty "muffy" I called out "Miss Rie your back" the little elf squeaked as she materialised "dad in or out" I asked so I knew whether to have the first aid kit ready or a bucket. "Master Harry went out with bad man Rowan bout 3o mins ago" She replied "go get the first aid kit and could you prepare some lunch for me please?" I asked as politely as I could.
I had just finished my lunch when I heard the front door open. I walked out into the hall to see my dad stagger into the hallway //my god what the hell happened to him// I thought as I assessed him he looked like death warmed up. His hair was matted up even more than usual his wide and unseeing, His face had a bruise over one eye and a cut above his eye and lip. His left arm hung awkwardly at his side and you could see the track marks up his arm. His right arm was pressed over his right side of his chest where a lot of blood seemed to be pouring from. "Dad?" I asked as I manoeuvred him into the lounge "don't ask kiddo" he replied as I lifted his t-shirt I could see that the stab wound was a bit beyond my skill. "Don't get m…" I started to say as I turned around but the sight of my dad passed out stopped me I just continued on my way to fireplace as I threw some floo powder into the fire and called "Moine hogwarts nurses office" and bent down a few seconds later as Moine head came into view. "Come through please" I asked sure enough a few seconds later Moine was stepping through "Marie" she started to ask but I stopped her as I pointed to my dad.
Bustling over to him she got him stable enough to move and the bleeding stopped then she magicked a stretcher out of thin air and moved him over to it. Slapping a portkey in my hand she held on as she whispered activate and we were away back to hogwarts the place Harry never dreamed he be back in ever again.
A/N: What do you think? Like it? Hate it? Have any suggestions for improvement?
