Hey everyone, this story I've been working on Longer then my other two. Its Harry Potter based but for it to work I've had to mess with the years and times a bit. So please remember that and don't comment about it. Basically I'll be messing a bit with the timeline, though not too Much.

If you're a fan of Severus then this is hopefully a good one for you to read though I do not believe I will be pairing Snape up with anyone, you'll understand further on. I haven't got all the fine kinks out but it will be set over a few Sequels. This one will be all about Sparrow, my Main OC, and Born in 1975.

Enjoy. And please don't be afraid to comment what you think. I won't be able to post daily, maybe one post every three days or once a week on the weekends. If I'm in a good mood, hopefully it will be constant.

I don't own Harry Potter or any of its content except for my OC character Sparrow.

Prologue

May 10th1975 (Saturday)

Thunder rumbled in the sky, and lightning struck the ground not far from the castle. It was an hour past midnight and the resident healer of Hogwarts was sitting at the end of a bed while a young teenager screamed there was only two other people in the hospital wing, The Gryffindor head of house and another young female stood on either side of her. Not long later the small wails of a baby entered the room and the female in the bed rested back worn out from the labour.

Madam Pomfrey went through the normal procedures and walked off to clean the baby, Minerva looked down at the teenager and asked her once again "Are you absolutely sure?"

The teenager looked up at her head of house with eyes brimming with tears as she nodded her head. "Yes, I'm sure, I'm only turning sixteen this year, I can't look after a baby, and she needs a good home. I can't give that to her"

"And what of her fa-"

"By the time he finds out she needs to be already gone, his home life is horrid, a baby would never survive near his Father" she said cutting off McGonagall.

The other teenager finally spoke up "Are you at least going to name her?"

Shaking her head once again "No, that would bind the child with my name, if she needs a chance it's one where they will name her"

"Come Alice, she needs rest" McGonagall said leading the standing teen out of the hospital wing after saying goodnight to the other.

Madam Pomfrey returned with the child but the teenager shook her head hard "No, keep her away, I can't get attached"

The Healer sighed and placed the child in a transfigured cot behind some curtains. "She will need to sleep here though, and you too need rest" she handed over a phial to the teen which was drained instantly and she fell asleep.

Madam Pomfrey checked once more on the baby once more before leaving to her private rooms for the night after setting monitoring charms in case the child cried. An hour or so passed before the main doors opened and another teenager, this time male walked into the room and looked at the sleeping mother before walking over to the baby, one of his dorm-mates had been sneaking around and had heard the commotion in the Hospital Wing and returned to the Slytherin dormitory to tell the other, one had ran off straight away and had stayed hidden in the corridor until everything had calmed down. He had already been told about his Girlfriend… well, Ex-Girlfriend that he would not be allowed to raise or see his own daughter, said they weren't ready and that they were too young to be parents. He still wished to see his daughter.

Finally after what seemed like hours to him and silence he had entered the Hospital wing and walked over the crib, the baby was awake and was looking around with bright Emerald eyes, a finger was resting in her mouth while the other reached up to him. Even he knew that it was strange for a newborn baby to act in such way… with recognition almost. He reached down and picked up the baby cradling her close to her chest.

"Your mother does not wish to name you, she told me that a few weeks ago, and that you would be sent away from here and that I'll never see you ever again" he whispered to her as the baby reached up and gripped the almost shoulder length hair.

"But you're not just any baby, you're my daughter and that means a lot more than most think. Even more because you are female. In my family that means a lot." The baby blinked up at him and tugged on his hair again.

"So I will name you, I don't care what she says. And I also promise you that the moment I can, I will find you and raise you as my own. No matter how long that takes. Knowing the teachers here you will be hidden and warded but that won't stop me. Nothing will Little Sparrow."

He sighed and laid her back down in her crib and watched as she put her finger in her mouth again. "Rose Sabina Prince-Evans… Little Sparrow" Severus Snape waved his wand over her and bonded the name to her magical signature before looking over at the sleeping Lilly Evans and walking out of the Hospital wing and returned to the dorms.

~H.A~

Meanwhile in the Headmasters office where Professor Dumbledore was sitting up late and looking over some files, he knew he should be asleep but at the exact moment he was glad he didn't as he heard the Sorting Hat wake up from its slumber and gasped, a few portraits did as well as the few magical objects that monitored the magic of the school Surged for a few moments.

"Hat, what was that?" the Headmaster asked.

"You'll find out in time Headmaster, be patient" it replied simply and then went back to sleep.

The headmaster shook his head and walked over to his room for the rest of the night as he heard the portraits whispering to each other.

The next Chapter will be uploaded in the next two-three hours.
