Snape's POV

I was so excited, though I didn't show it outwardly. My daughter, Lily, was coming from her mother's home in Japan to live with me for the Summer.

Lily was my little angel. She was the only one I would ever smile in front of. She would be staying with me for the entire Summer, and I wasn't the only one ecstatic about her arrival either. Lucius and Draco were basically boucing in their seats, and the Dark Lord was getting ready for her arrival. I just hope he remembers she doesn't like pink anymore.

Lucius, Draco, and I were standing outside the international Floo station, waiting on Lily to step out.

A soot covered black haired girl fell out of the floo with a storm of coughs. "I told Mom to clean out the fireplace!"

"Lily!" Draco yelled running up to his childhood friend, "I missed you so much!"

"Whoa Dray," she said, "What happened to the Slytherin I know and love?"

"He's still here, but he stepped aside for now. Let me get your bags." Draco picked up her bags and wouldn't stop talking.

"How's your mother Lilypad?" Lucius asked about my ex-wife.

"She's good. She misses you guys just about as much as Draco misses me," she laughed. She had her mother's laugh.

I still love Elizabeth, very much, but I had to divorce her to make sure her and Lily stay safe from Dumbledore. He was a monster. I knew that just from my story.

I had told the man millions of times that I was being abused in my "home", but he wouldn't do a thing about it. He did the same thing to the Dark Lord too. I was just glad that the Potter brat was being spoiled by his muggle family.

I pulled my little girl into a sideways hug and tried to dust her off. She was 16 years old now, the same age as Draco and the Potter boy. She looked just like me, but with her mother's button nose, face frame, and didn't have my "greasy" hair. It wasn't much difference, but it was enough that no one would guess that she was actually my daughter.

Lucius finally got fed up with me trying to dust her off with just my hand and waved his wand. In a blink of an eye, she was clean.

Her black hair was flowing down in delicate waves, and her black eyes were surrounded in black eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara, but that was the only makeup that stood out.

"Draco! Let me carry something!" Lucius said trying to take one of the three luggage carriers from his son.

"You can take the trunk," Draco said holding on to her suite case and duffle bag tightly.

"I can carry my own luggage, you know?" Lily said.

"We know," I said with a soft, almost unnoticeable smile on my face, "But it's your vacation. Have some fun."

She gasped, "Did my over protective father just say 'Have some fun?'"

I snorted, "Yes, I said to have fun. You're 16 now. You don't need me lording over your shoulder."

"Yeah! You're no Gryffindor," Draco said.

"Let's get out of here," Lucius said with a smile. We left the station and made our way back to the Malfoy Manor.
