Love

by laumirot

Not a very long story but I like the idea OCC. Love will save hil or it will only destroy a pure heart?

1. A letter from an admirer

I don't own Harry Potter

Her POV

I sat on the rock near the lake, thinking about the battle on the ministry. We almost lost Sirius when he failed to fall into the veil but Remus was close and grabbed him on time. Harry felt guilty about trying to steal the prophecy for his curiosity.

My 'friends' were on the welcome feast eating and laughing while I tried to understand how everything changed so fast. I sighed and an image came into my mind; after Ron fell into the brain's pool, a masked death eater looked at me and I was looking at the most beautiful grey eyes that I ever saw. He muttered something and apparated away without trying to hurt me. I tried to think who this could be but I did not have an idea. I just remembered his words before leaving, 'See you soon little girl'.

After a good night sleep, I went to the Great hall and I found my friends waiting for me to eat before our first day of class. They were talking and laughing when the post arrived and I saw a black owl landing next to me and putting a letter on my hand. I did not know who would be writing to me and I checked for hexes founding nothing. I opened the letter watching my friends busy with the food and the paper.

'Miss Granger,

I said you would have news from me soon so I'm sending you this letter to show you that I did not forget you.

Do not be scare as I don't intend to hurt you. I saw you fighting on the ministry and I started to think about everything I believe until now. You are a beautiful and powerful witch regarding your parentage and I would like to be able to get to know you better.

Thunder, the owl that brought you the letter, is a present for you; he will be able to find me and he will be loyal to you. You can tell your friends that you father sent you a new familiar?

Hoping to hear from you soon,

An admirer'

I closed the letter and I put it on my pocket. I petted Thunder who hooted softly nibbling my finger.

"Who sent you the owl?" Harry said.

"My dad, he knew that Crocks died and he thought this would help me with my post." I said crossing my fingers. "Going to class?"

"Yes, come. I think that I will need your help in potions or Snape will kill me this time." Harry said and I followed him to our first class.

The classroom was dark as usual and professor Snape gave us the instructions for the potion he wanted us to brew. Tracking potion, easy to brew but will take three weeks if everything was well done. I started to prepare the ingredients and I was organizing them on my desk when I saw professor Snape standing near me.

"Who teach you to do this?" He asked me.

"Nobody, I think is easier to brew if I have the ingredients ready or organized before I brew." I said.

"But where did you learn to put them like this?" He asked.

"I don't know, it feels right." I said and he shook his head.

"Stay after class Miss Granger, I need to talk with you." Professor Snape said and I nodded.

I continued to cut and crush the ingredients until everything was ready, so I started with the base for my potion. The color was perfect and I started to add the ingredients until I did everything that could be done at the moment. Now my potion needed to shimmer until next class. When the class was over, I told Harry to go because I had to stay and he was worried but I told him everything was ok.

"Miss Granger, I need to ask something personal and I'd want an honest answer." Professor Snape said.

"I will try sir." I said and he nodded.

"Are you adopted Miss Granger?" professor Snape asked and I nodded slowly, trying not to cry.

"My parents told me that I was adopted before leaving the country. They lived in Australia now." I said, "My magic was too much for them and after the ministry's battle, the war was too much for them also."

"Where are you living now?" He asked.

"I spent the summer on the Burrow and I will stay during the holidays here." I said, "Next summer I will be on age because of the time turner on my third year, so I will find a job and I will be ok."

"I will tell you a little story and you will help me to see how this will end." He said softly. "Many year ago, I was forced to rape a little girl like you. I was young and I tried to leave the room before the dark revel started on the Malfoy manor but then Abraxas saw me and told me to do it. This little girl was a squib from a pure blood family. She was a White but his father angered Lord Malfoy and she paid the price for this. After everything happened, I took her away telling them I would kill her but actually I help her to find a safe house. She ran away two days later and I never heard from her."

"Did you look after her?" I asked.

"Yes, everywhere and Lucius helped me; he knew that I felt guilty and he never liked these parties that his father hosted; he was lucky to be betrothed so his father did not force him to rape any of the girls. I was afraid that she could be pregnant as I couldn't cast the protection spell and I would be responsible for my actions. I never found her but one day I heard Albus telling that the White squib died in childbirth leaving a daughter on an orphanage. Her parents tried to found out which one but the wizengamot did not allow them to know about the baby but they died before getting answers about you." Professor Snape said. "Now, will you let me check your blood to see if you could be my daughter?"

"Yes sir, if there is a chance to know who I am, I will take it." I said looking into his eyes.

He went to his lab and came back with a silver potion. He poured into a bowl and he asked me to put a hair inside. After I did it, he repeated the action letting fall one of his hairs to fall into the now red potion. The potion glowed and turned dark green. He took a little vial and put some of the potion inside. He looked at me and gave me the potion.

"You need to drink it. If you are my child, any glamour you could be wearing will fade and we will be able to confirm this on the ministry." Professor Snape told me.

I sniffed the potion and it smelled like cinnamon. I drank it quick and I felt my body vibrating for some minutes. He was looking at me with tears on his eyes. I transfigured a chair into a mirror to find out that I was taller, my hair was darker and straight, my body was lean with nice boobs and my eyes were black coal like his. I was without doubt his daughter and he was looking at me with fear on his eyes.

I guessed he was expecting my rejection after five years of treating me like shit doing his work for the order. He was supposed to be a loyal death eater so be nice with a muggleborn Gryffindor who was the best friend of Harry Potter could be a big mistake. I tried to smile and I failed, how to explain to him that finding my family was more important that any mistake he probably did many years ago? That I understood that he was forced to do this?

"Professor?" I asked and I saw tears falling from his eyes. "I understand, don't worry."

"I'm afraid that now that everybody will know, the Dark Lord would try to take you from me. He is already obsessing over your intelligence and I don't know how to protect you." Professor Snape told me.

"We will find something about this but I want to know if you regret knowing about me" I said softly.

"No Hermione, I'm happy to know that you are my daughter, now the Slytherins will not bother you but I'm afraid that the Gryffindor will not take this kindly." Professor Snape said.

"Can we forget them for today and just stay like this, together for tonight?" I asked and he nodded before pulling me into his arms and kissing my head.

"Come we will take tea on my quarters." He said leading me to his private's chambers.

He called an elf and ordered tea with some finger food. We sat near the fire, talking about the next year and how to handle the possible fall out with the lions. He told me that I would have the possibility to live in his chambers if I feel comfortable around him and I told him it could be a good idea to get to know him better. We were talking about how to tell the news to the headmaster when somebody was knocking the door as there was an emergency. Professor Snape opened the door and the headmaster entered the room with professor McGonagall.

"Severus, we have a problem. Hermione Granger disappear and we don't know where she is." The headmaster said and professor McGonagall sat on a chair looking at me confused.

"Who is this girl Severus?" she said looking my dark eyes, "Severus is she?"

"Yes Minerva, I found her" professor Snape told them, "Agatha was pregnant as you know and we never knew where my daughter was. She was here at school all these years Albus."

"What do you mean?" the headmaster asked. "Who are you little girl?"

"Headmaster, I can explain this" I said and they gasped.

"Miss Granger?" The professor asked.

"Yes, is me." I said sighing, "During the summer the Grangers told me that I was adopted and moved to Australia to escape from the war and to be far from me. My magic was too much for them."

"Why you did not tell us about this? We could help you?" The headmaster said.

"I will be on age in less than a month and I was staying at the Burrow for the summer." I said, "I was planning to find a job for the summer."

"Now you have a family Hermione," Professor McGonagall said, "Severus is like a son for us and we will take care of you"

"Thank you, professor." I said smiling softly.

"Call as Minerva and Albus. Oh Albus, we have a little granddaughter to spoil now." Minerva said caressing me softly.

"Severus, what about Tom?" Albus asked.

"He will want to meet her and I don't know what to do about this." Professor Snape said.

"Well, I spent the summer learning oclumency and legilimens. I can help you with your work." I said and he shook his head.

"He can hurt you, he is not stable and the last days he was obsessing over you" Professor Snape said, "Call me Severus"

"Well, I have something to show you and maybe you can help me." I said taking the letter from my pocket and giving this to him. He read and showed it to Albus who closed his eyes.

"Can you tell me what happened? This is Tom handwriting." Albus said.

"During the battle on the ministry, a masked death eater looked at me and left without hurting me, he just told me that I would hear from him. This was before Doholov hexed me. Today I got this letter from him and my new familiar, a black owl called Thunder." I said and they nodded.

"Severus, I know this is difficult for you but she can help us understand what he wants now. If he is doubting about his ways, maybe we can stop the war and start rebuilding our world." Albus said and Severus nodded. "Will you do this for us?"

"Yes Albus, I will got meet him if he calls me." I said and Severus took me into his arms crushing me into his chest.

"I will try to protect you." Severus said.

"Go to the ministry now, there will be only the official and you can do this without any reporter looking after a snoop." Albus said and we nodded. "She will move here, so everything will be on her new chamber when you return from the ministry. I will sort her in the morning so come to my office before breakfast."

Minerva and Albus left and I followed Severus to the apparition point from where we sent to the ministry. The papers were done without problems and I was Sloan Snape after I decided to change my name to sever any contact with the Grangers. Severus was happy when I told him that the hat wanted to put me in Slytherin when I arrived on my first year so he bought me a platinum bracelet before we came back to Hogwarts. I found my room ready on his chambers and he kissed me on my head before leaving to sleep.

I woke up thinking that everything was a dream and I realized that he never told me how he thought about asking me about my family. I changed fast and I found him drinking a coffee on the sitting room.

"Good morning." I said softly.

"Morning child. Slept well?" He asked

"Yes, thanks and you?" I asked making small talk and he nodded drinking his coffee while giving me a cup. I took it and I added some sugar. "I wanted to ask you how did you realize that I could be your daughter."

"Well is stupid maybe but you brew the same way as my mother used to do, you put the ingredients as she did. You also move your finger as I do, like something that is in your blood, I never paid attention before. You also have her temper. Come, we need to go to Albus's office and after that we will go to the Great hall for breakfast and news." Severus said leading me to the floo.

Albus was waiting for us on his office with Minerva who looked the bracelet and smiled at me. Albus told me to sit and went to pick up the hat. Minerva was looking at me sad but she tried to smile.

'Little one, nice to see that you found your father. He will take care of you and you can heal his broken heart after that cold bitch hurt him. I don't need to think as you remember you were supposed to be on his house, so you will be a SLYTHERIN!' The hat yelled and Severus smiled while he spun me around the room. Albus and Minerva laughed at Severus antics.

"Yes, your little girl is a snake like you, just do try to be partial with her now." Minerva said." I heard you changed your name?"

"Yes, my new name is Sloan. I thought it could be a good idea to start anew and I found smart to have the same initials as my father, the Snapes, father and daughter." I said and they laughed.

"Too funny, now come I'm starving." Severus said and we walked to the Great hall together.

They told me to follow them to the head table and wait until Severus would lead me to the Slytherin table. Albus stood up in his place and asked silence.

"I have wonderful news today. Our potions master found his lost daughter, Sloan Snape and she will be with us as she was for the last five years. She will be changing her house and she will be in the Slytherin house as his father." Albus said and I closed my eyes knowing that the worst was coming now. "She was a good friend for everybody and I hoped that her former house will not forget that. Her former name was Hermione granger."

Everybody gasped, the Slytherin blanched, most of the lions were stunned and Ron's face was red.

"Holly shit" Ron yelled and I froze.

"Nice observation Mr. Weasley," Albus said chuckling, "Now let's eat before we are late for classes."

Severus told me to follow him to my first meal on my new table; Draco was shaking his head and Pansy was pale. I did not know what to said or do as we approached the table.

"Everybody, she is Sloan Snape and I expect you to help her in our house. She is living in my chambers and probably will move to the dorms after some time. Draco, I need you to help her today with her new timetable and to help her with the lions." Severus said and Draco nodded.

"It will be an honor to help your daughter sir." Draco said and Severus nodded.

"Sloan, I will see you later, try to take this day easy and not to take all the whispering to serious." Severus said petting my head before going to the head table.

I sat on a chair next to Draco and I poured some coffee on a cup. They were looking at me and did not dare to talk to me. I smiled at them and they relaxed a little. I took some fruits form a plate and they started to eat.

"So, how this happened?" Draco asked.

"We found out yesterday; I was adopted and the Granger told me last month." I said eating a cherry. "What do you think about a truce?"

"What do you thing about starting over and maybe a friendship?" Draco said and I beamed at him.

"Even better Malfoy, I always thought you could be a good friend, not need to slow down waiting for you to understand what I'm talking about." I said smirking and they laughed.

"You are really his daughter, you smirk like him." Pansy said and I chuckled. "We need girl time tonight."

"I would love to if I'd survive the lion's fury over this; I'm a traitor now." I said and they laughed. "Come, we are going to be late for potions."

We ran to the dungeons and we found the lions waiting for us on the door. Harry came to my side and look at me confused. I did not know what to say.

"Will you hate me now?" Harry asked with a sad smile and I hugged him hard, "I had my answer, you are my sister and I will not lose you over this. So, you are Sloan now?"

"Yes, I will tell you more after but …" I said

"Harry she is a snake now and a Snape!" Ron yelled, "How can you touch her?"

"She is my best friend, my sister and I will not take you talking about her like this." Harry yelled and the door opened.

"So early in the morning and we already have some Gryffindor drama." Severus drawled. "Weasley, fifteen points from Gryffindor because you ruined my morning and detention with Mr. Filch tonight. Potter, five points to Gryffindor for loyalty to your friend. Now get inside before everybody has detention."

He entered the room and we ran to our desks. I was brewing with Harry as my cauldron was there and I continued with my potion adding the good ingredients. At the end of the lesson, my potion was almost ready to be put under suspension for the next three weeks until the last ingredient should be add. Draco walked me to our next class Ancient runes and I sat with him. We worked together in a translation and was nice to be able to work with somebody who loved to study like I did.

During lunch a silver owl arrived with a letter and a small box. I looked at Severus and he nodded.

'Dear Sloan Snape,

I heard about you change of status and I'm very curious to know how this happened but for the moment I will give you the chance to get to know me through our letters. Will you write to me even when you don't know who I am?

Last night I thought about you, how could be interesting to see you one day and to discover what do you like to do or how do you take your coffee. What kind of books you love or to know if you like to travel and discover things with your own eyes?

I send you this little thing and I hope you like it.

Write to me little one and let me know you.

Your admirer.'

Draco was looking at the letter and sighed. He probably knew who was writing. He petted the owl and gave him some bacon before turning to me.

"This is Pegasus, he is very nice." Draco said, "I saw the black owl yesterday and I hoped I was mistaken."

"I know, I showed this to Severus and he said we will deal with this, I don't know why he is sending this to me." I said opening the box to find a very beautiful diamond necklace. "Oh dear."

"I can help you with this. I will be by your side." Draco said. "Oh God, the Ginger is coming again."

"Snape, I wanted to tell you that you are no longer welcome at the Burrow." Ron said and left the table.

"Don't feel bad, now you are welcome at the manor" Draco said smirking.

"At the Parkinson manor" Pansy said.

"Goyle's manor" Greg said

"Crabe's house" Vincent said

"Zambini's manor and our restaurant also" Blaise said, "Well, to every Slytherin house. You don't need them."

"And if your admirer is so besotted on you, you will welcome everywhere soon." Draco muttered darkly.

"Thank you" I said smiling and we went to our new class.

The classes were calm on the afternoon and soon I was on the Slytherin common room writing my answer to my admirer.

'Sir,

As I don't know your name I hope you don't mind if I'd call you like this.

I wanted to thank you for your presents. Thunder is sweet and the necklace is beautiful.

I have new friends that help me a lot. Draco is becoming my new best friend with Harry who is like a brother to me. They helped me the last two days with everything.

I have questions for you.

Do you have a favorite food or color?

What is your favorite book?

Do you have a place that you would call home?

I love French fries and my favorite color is blue. My favorite book is 'Hogwarts: a history' and the place that I will always call home is the castle. It had been my home for the last five years.

I should go to the Great Hall now,

Hope everything is ok,

Sloan.'

I closed my letter and I put a picture Albus took on the last night. I call Thunder and I tied the letter to his leg and he flew away.

"Sloan, when are you moving here?" Pansy asked.

'I don't know Pansy, I just met my father and we thought this could be a good way to get know each other." I said and she whined.

"I'm the only girl on the seven year and I would love to have girl time." Pansy said. "The guys would love to have you here also. I heard them telling that you are our little princess now so they will protect your honor."

"This will be son fun" I said laughing, "What can we do to have fun here?"

"Well, we can prank the boys for a while or we can plan a revenge on the ginger." Pansy said smirking.

"But for that we need our guy's helps." I said smirking also.

"I see that you are ok Sloan, I was worried you would feel out of place at the common room." Severus said, "Come diner will be ready soon in my chambers. Miss Parkinson, would you like to eat with us?"

"Yes, sir, it would be an honor" Pansy said and we followed Severus to his sitting room.

Everything was ready for diner and we have a good time. Pansy and me were planning a good revenge on Ron and Severus was smirking and helping us with some good ideas. He was very angry with the ginger menace as he called him.

We heard a knock and Pegasus entered the room with a little box. Pansy gasped and Severus took the box and checked it for hexes. He gave me the box telling me to be carefully as it was hot. When I opened it, I started to giggled and Severus looked at me confused. I took the paper bag and put it on my dish. I had two big portions of French fries with ketchup. Pansy looked at the food trying to understand what it was and Severus took one and ate it sighing.

"This is crazy, why would he send you this?" Severus asked.

"Because I told him I like them." I said and he was shocked.

"Did you write to him?" He asked and I nodded opening the letter.

'Little one,

I hope you like this 'French fries' as you call them because I had to go to a muggles fast food to buy them for you. I tried to understand why you love this and in the end, I bought a hamburger with four portions of these things and five sodas. You are right, this is too good. Do you think that going to a fast food for a date could be a good idea? Tell me what you think about it later.

To answer your questions, I used to love pumpkin pie but now I thing it could be a double hamburger with bacon? My favorite color is black, I like to read 'most potent potions' and like you the place that I called home one day was Hogwarts.

I have some questions for you.

If you'd have to choose an animal to be your familiar, what would you chose?

What do you want to do after finishing School?

I have a nice familiar, is a little snake and she likes to be around me all the time. I did not do what I wanted to do after school, I saw myself teaching and I never got the post I so much wanted.

If you see the box again, you will find a little box that you'd have to enlarge. I hope you like this little gift that I found on my library.

Hope to hear from you soon,

Your admirer.'

I looked inside the box again and I found a little box that I enlarged and opened to find something so extraordinaire that I was speechless. He sent me a first edition of 'Hogwarts: a history' wrote by the founders. Severus looked at the book and opened to find inside a black rose.

"I would say that he is courting you Sloan, be carefully please. Parkinson, do not say a world to anybody, only Draco know about this" Severus said and she nodded. "Sloan, do you want to sleep on the dorms?"

"I would like it but I don't want to leave you alone" I said and he shook his head;

"It could be nice for you and your new friend and if I need you company, I can fetch you like tonight. Go, I will send your things with an elf." Severus said caressing my head. "Parkinson, be nice to my daughter."

"She is a good friend sir, I'm happy to be able to talk with her now." Pansy said and I smiled.

We left the room, leaving the book with my father and bringing the French fries with us. We sat on our bed eating them and planning a day on muggle London to show Pansy what is fast food. I decided to write a short answer to thank my gift before going to sleep.

'Dear Sir,

Thank you for your presents; the book is amazing, to be able to read how the founders saw our school and to try to understand their point of view.

I loved the French fries and I laughed looking at Pansy eating them. Now she wants to try a hamburger and a hotdog. It was funny to and we laughed a lot and they were so delicious! Thank you very much. I have to tell you that sometimes I miss muggle food as they are simpler and tasty, you need to try chocolate mint candies; they are the best.

For your question, if I could choose any familiar I would love a dragon, a little one to be able to have him with me. I have two dreams for after school and you will laugh about them. I would love to teach but in a very small school, maybe for the children before Hogwarts to prepare them to be here. Can you imagine how life for the muggleborn could be different if they'd know the proper etiquette before arriving to Hogwarts? The second is to have a family, some children and a loving husband, silly but true.

Ok, I will go to bed now but before I have a question for you. Did you ever saw a movie?

Have nice dreams.

Sloan.'

I laughed while I tied the letter on Thunder leg and he hooted softly before leaving. Pansy was looking at me like I was crazy and I shrugged.

"I admire you, you are so brave. Nobody talk to him like this." Pansy said.

"Pans, I have nothing to lose and if I can make my father's life easier I will do anything." I said and she beamed at me.

"You are the best Sly." She said laughing and I throw her a pillow before entering my new bed and falling sleep fast.

I woke up with Pans telling we would be late for breakfast and that Draco was waiting for us on the common room. I dress up fast and we left the dungeons, laughing about how Draco took the French fries story sulking about us not sharing them with him. We sat on the table and we ate while we talked about our first class, DADA with Remus and how we would handle the transfiguration homework. I saw Pegasus entering the Great Hall with a fuming box and Severus was near me in a second. He took the box and swear as a flare burned his hand. He checked the box and put it on the table telling to opening slowly. When the box was open, something jumped into my had a nuzzled my palm. A little blue and black dragon was looking at me with the most adorable red eyes I ever saw. I petted his head and he purred making me laugh. He flew to my neck and hid under my hair.

"Sloan, what did you tell him for this?" Dad asked.

"He asked me what familiar I would chose if I'd have the chance, I never thought he would send me one. Looked these are chocolate mint bonbons." I said opening the box and eating one. "They are so good, take one Dad."

He looked at me and smiled taking one and nodding me to open the letter. It was interesting to see him acting so care free on the great hall but I was her Slytherin daughter after all.

'Dear one,

I found this little one last night and the owner of his mother told me he needed a new home as his father was getting aggressive with him. I hope you like him. His name is Orion and have our favorite colors on him.

Minx, I had to go to four muggles stores to find these chocolates, you did not tell me that they were difficult to find. I have not big complains as I bought a lot of muggles candies for me. I can understand the old man obsession with them now. Be nice and I will send you more.

To answer your question, I never had the time to see a movie or the inclination to go. Do you have something on mind? We could go together if you'd want.

These letters are nice and they change my routine a little; I'm really looking forward to meeting you. Would you meet me if I promise you will be safe? Think about this and talk with your father.

A question to think about, would you open a kindergarten and an elementary school for magic children if you have the chance? Would you give a place for those unlucky ones to be alone or those to have intolerant muggles families?

Have a nice day and write me soon.

Yours,

An admirer'

Dad was reading the letter and nodded me to follow him; we went to Albus's office and he read the letter frowning.

"Is he courting you Hermione?" Albus asked.

"I don't know Sir, he is nice and send me gifts. Last night, he sent me French fries." I said and he nodded.

"The questions he sent you this time are interesting because he is thinking about changing his views. He is still somebody we could save if he would show remorse and help us to rebuild our word." Albus said and I nodded.

We continued to talk and after an hour, we heard a noise and Pegasus was back with another box. When I opened the window, I found a book about dragons and how to take care of them, a box with food for Orion and everything I could need to groom him with a little bed for him. I opened the letter and I read it aloud.

'Dear one,

After I sent Orion, I realized that I forgot the send his things so I sending them now.

Did you thought about my idea of going to a cinema? I read on the muggle paper about a nice movie that we could see together. Nobody dies (boring) but I think you would love this. Tell me soon to organize our date. (Can we call it a date?)

I found this on a muggle store and they told me it's used to talk with people who are far from each other, a mobile the salesman called it? Anyway, I charmed it so you don't need electricity or credit to call me if you'd want. I spent all the morning working on it until it worked on my manor so it will work there too. Sent me a text after you turn it on.

Ok, I have a meeting with the crazy woman call Bellatrix,

Waiting for your answer.

Yours,

And admirer.'

I looked into the box again and I found a very modern mobile. It was dark blue and was ready to use. Next to the telephone I found some marshmallows and Albus was drooling over them so I gave him some. The floo was green and Moody entered the room with Kingsley.

"Albus, we have a problem" Moody said. "Snape, nice to see you here maybe you can help us. Who is this lady? Your daughter if I not mistaken."

"Yes, she is Sloan but you know her as Hermione granger." Severus said and Moody nodded.

"Sloan, nice to see you." Kingsley said.

"What is the problem?" Albus said.

"During the last days, 'you know who' was in muggle London, entering to different stores and buying things. They said that he bought two telephones and he ate in a fast food, leaving with a big bag." Moody said. "Severus, did you hear something about this?"

"I think is worst that that." Dad said, "Sloan show him"

"Sloan?" Moody asked me and I show him the telephone.

"Well, he is sending me gifts, he sent me a telephone and wants to see a movie on a cinema." I said trying to smile and they gasped.

"Albus, do you know what this could mean?" Moody said.

"Yes, my friend, the end of this war but we need to make a truce with him if he is serious about this." Albus said. "Sloan, are you going to meet him?"

"Well, I thought about this and I wanted to meet him if this doesn't bother you too much." I said blushing.

"You would go and see what he wants?" Kingsley said.

"He asked me what I think about opening school for children before Hogwarts and if I would take orphans and muggleborn children with bad families." I said and they gasped again.

"If he is thinking about this is because he wants to change his ways and we could help him. Our ministry doesn't protect our children." Kingsley said and we nodded.

"Try to meet him and to understand what does he wants." Moody said.

"Ok let me write him back. Or better I will use the phone." I said opening my new telephone.

They looked at it as it was dangerous and I laughed; when it was on, I saw a message.

TR: hey, I learned how to use this!

SS: good! Congratulations!

TR: not funny, how is Orion?

SS: hiding on my neck and nuzzling it.

TR: (sigh) lucky bastard

SS: Language please.

TR: oh yes, fucking bastard, better?

SS: arse!

TR: (sigh) no more respect for the elders

SS: sorry sir but you are acting like an asshole (bowing respectfully)

TR: so, did you think about my question?

SS: care to remember me?

TR: Sloan, will you come to the movie with me or not? Pretty please

SS: only if you'd promise me to but popcorn with extra butter.

TR: everything you'd want dear one.

SS: ok, Friday night?

TR: yes! I will send you a letter with the details!

SS: good, I should speak with the headmaster who will have a heart attack watching me texting with you.

TR: tell hello to the old man and tell him is not nice to spy private conversation

TR: what if I was sex texting you?

SS: now he is hyperventilating and my father is not happy.

TR: nobody told them to read.

SS: true

TR talk to them and send me a text before going to bed.

SS: ok, bye

TR: later

"Let me see if I got this right. The Dark Lord is not attacking any more muggles because he is obsessing over you sixteen years old daughter who has him complete wrapped around her little finger." Moody asked.

"He spent the last three days around muggles stores to but things for you, went to Romania and bought a dragon, and spent almost half an hour texting with you knowing we were reading your messages?" Kingsley said and I nodded.

"This is our best chance to end this war but we are not going to force you into this relationship Sloan." Albus said and I blushed.

"I will go Friday to see him and I will tell you later Albus." I said and they nodded.

"I just want you to be carefully around him; his temper is legendary" Severus said.

"I know dad; he is so intense and he makes feel so special." I said and they nodded jumping when Pegasus entered to the office again with a little box.

I opened the letter and read it aloud again.

'Sloan,

I have everything ready for tomorrow. I found a nice cinema where we can see the movie, they have the best popcorn as they told me. I sent Rodolphus to buy some and they are great. If I'd get a belly, this will be your fault.

I though we can diner on a little coffee next to the cinema, watch the movie, take an ice cream and I would send you to the castle after that.

I put mars on the box, I think the old fool used to love them so give him one. Ah, somebody told me that I should send you flowers so that why you found a bouquet on the box. Hope you like them.

Text me before bed.

Yours

Tom, (you already know after all)'

Sometime later, I was on my bed laughing when I remembered they shocked faces when they saw the last letter and Albus grinning face after I gave him the chocolate. Draco and Pansy were looking at me and gasped in the good moments when I told them about the letter and the text. Draco looked at the phone as it would bite him but I thought he would grill his father until he buys him one, the most expensive one.

I opened the phone and I started to write with them reading over my shoulder.

SS: Hey

TR: Hey yourself, where is the respect for the elders

SS: lost it when I entered the house of Slytherin?

TR: we will see that tomorrow.

SS: so? How as your day?

TR: not bad, I only hexed Bellatrix, she tried to grope me again.

SS: poor you, need help? I know some interesting curses.

TR: nope, she will lust after the rat for some days and this will be fine.

SS: mean one but good for her, she deserved worst.

TR! I need to find a solution for her soon.

SS: I can help

TR: will think about it. So? Ready for tomorrow?

SS: could be, and you?

TR: very much, I have your picture on my desk.

SS: I don't have one of you

TR: want one?

SS: maybe

TR: I think I have one on my desk

SS: Albus was grinning like a mad with the chocolate.

TR: I will send some more and he will stop reading our letters?

SS: I'm not sure

Draco opened the window and Pegasus entered with a letter. I found a beautiful picture of a black-haired wizard with beautiful grey eyes and a very kissable mouth.

SS: thank you for the picture

TR: what do you think about it?

SS: not alone, will tell you tomorrow?

TR: not fair

SS: well you did not tell me about mine.

TR: do I need to? I am dating you tomorrow.

SS: and?

TR: probably that means that I don't found you repulsive

SS: not a winning answer Tom Riddle

TR: Oups, sorry; your picture is beautiful dear one

SS: good save. should go now, I have two gaping friends near me and it will take me hour to send them to bed.

TR: text me or call me if you'd need me

SS: I will, night Tom

TR: nigh dear one

I closed the phone and I put it on my bed side table with the picture.

"Holly shit Sloan, this guy is over the heels with you." Draco yelled.

"I will tell you more tomorrow." I said.

"Our friend is falling hard to Draco" Pans said and I blushed. "So, tomorrow is diner movie and ice cream?"

"Yes, that is the plan" I said.

"What are you wearing, muggle I think." Draco said.

"Yes, I have some nice black jeans with a dark green shirt and leather boots." I said.

"Use heels, he is very tall, almost 2 meters I think" Draco said and Pansy nodded

"Oh dear." I said and they laughed.

After some minutes, they left me sleep and Orion cuddled against my neck. I woke up starving and I dragged Draco and Pansy to the great hall where I ate while Blaise told us about the last gossip. Ginny wanted to corner Harry and he did not like it, so he told her off in the middle of their common room, embarrassing her. They said that Harry was too nervous and they did not know why. My phone buzzed and I took it out shocking my friends.

TR: morning dear

SS: not a good place to talk, I'm eating breakfast

TR: after today everybody will know so what's the problem?

SS; true but are you ready to be seen with a bookworm like me.

TR: everyday little one.

SS: thanks.

TR: you are welcome. How is Orion?

SS: In my room playing on his house.

TR: good, he need some exercise.

SS: I eating breakfast and you?

TR: reading the paper and eating a churro.

SS: a churro?

TR: muggle food from Spain, a little muggle bakery next to my manor sell this and they are great.

SS: nice to hear but you will need exercise soon

TR: vixen and I was nice sending you some

At this point, Draco gave me a box with tasty little cakes inside. Everybody took one and we moaned making the other house curious.

SS: sorry sir and thank you.

TR: Minx you are only interested in my food.

SS: well not exactly but it helps.

TR: care to tell me what is winning you attention?

SS: not telling you.

TR: what if I tell you first.

SS: will think about it

TR: not fair

SS: Jajah

TR: mean one, you want me to make to pout on a middle of a meeting?

SS: oh, my Lord, I'm so sorry for offending you.

TR: Minx, you will have to make it up for this tonight because I pouted and I had my followers looking at me as if I'm ready to kill them!

SS: Sorry, this time really.

TR: will you make it up for me tonight?

SS: will think about it.

TR: better.

SS: have class now, see you.

TR, see you.

"Sloan this is crazy, he is the Dark Lord, he is not supposed to court somebody, or to pout or to joke like this" Draco said.

"Or to moon after you like this" Blaise said.

"I know" I said sighing while we walked to our first class, potions.

I sat on my bench next to Harry and he looked nervous. I put the last ingredient and I started to help him, trying to talk with him.

"Please tell me you will be carefully Sloan, you are my sister and he killed my parents." Harry muttered and I nodded.

"How do you know about this?" I asked.

"The connection Sloan. He is nervous, anxious about today, he is falling for you fast." Harry said and I nodded showing him our texts from the morning and he nodded, "He is already in love with you and if this can help us end this war, I will be happy for you."

"I love you Harry" I said.

"Me too sis" Harry said and held my hand for a second.

We finished the class and we went to charms when I was sitting with Draco who was asking me about my conversation with Harry. I saw Draco was interested in Harry but I was not sure if Harry would go that way. I thought about finding this and maybe Tom could help me.

When we finished the day, Orion was waiting for me on my room with Thunder and Pegasus. The silver owl hooted softly and I took the letter of his leg.

'Dear,

This is your portkey to my manor. To activate you need to say movie and you will arrive to my manor. If you see one of my followers, just tell him I'm waiting for you.

Last thing, before we meet, I'm very anxious and I hope that our date will be a good one.

See you soon

Tom'

"Ok, we need to prepare you for this. Go take a shower and please shave your legs, what if he'd touch your ankle?" Pans and I nodded, "Happened to me once, the ass gave me an ankle jewel and wanted to put it."

"Ok, I will do this fast." I said running to the bathroom.

Ten minutes later, I was on my room with Pans and Draco when dad entered the room. My friends left us alone and he sat by my side.

"Is difficult to see you in this position; he killed my best friend, well the girl who used to be my best friend." Dad said.

"I think I will be ok" I said softly and he nodded.

"Do not think about the order tonight, just have fun. We never saw him like this, wooing somebody, dating. Everything is new for him also." Dad said.

"I know and I will be carefully." I said.

"I want you to take this Sloan" he said giving me a purple vial.

"Dad, I, I" I stuttered.

"You are a beautiful woman and he is wooing you beautifully so it could be normal if something happens. Just be sure before doing it." Dad said smiling softly.

"I will be ok dad" I said.

"Just let me know if you are staying at the manor for the weekend." Dad said and I hugged him. "Go little one he is waiting for you."

I stood up and I took my little bag and my coat. I kissed his cheek and I took the portkey to the Riddle manor. When I opened my eyes, I found Bellatrix looking at me angry.

"Well, well, here we have the little Snape. What are you doing here little girl? Coming to join us as our little plaything?" Bellatrix asked me, pinching my arse.

"Dear Bella, care to tell me why are you touching my date's arse?" Tom asked angry.

"I thought she was our plaything my Lord." Bellatrix said moving her hand between my legs and rubbing me hard.

"If you don't take your hand off her, I will hex you bad and I will send you to Azkaban again Lestrange." Tom yelled and yanked me for her side. "I'm sorry little one. Rodolphus, how angry would you be with me if she goes back to Azkaban?

"What do you prefer Firewiskey or a good muggle brandy? Hell, I will give you both but just take that bitch to the fucking hole" Lestrange said and Tom nodded.

"Good, and add the rat also." Tom said and two dementors took the crazy death eaters away. "Good now, can we go?"

"Yes please, I just want something to forget what happened." I said and he took my hand. We apparated to muggle London near the cinema and he went to buy some popcorn and drinks. I was looking at him; he looked twenty-five years old, his dark hair was curly and long, his gray eyes we so beautiful and his mouth was made for kisses. I fell for him so hard that I was afraid that he would not feel the same. I looked at him again and I saw two beautiful blondes trying to talk to him, flirting with him and I was angry; I walked to his side and I put my hand on his arms and he raised one brow to me making me scowl.

"Dear one, I was thinking in buy some candies also, will you help me chose." Tom said taking my hand, "The film will start soon."

"Yes, I saw some interesting candies to taste." I said taking a bag and putting some candies inside.

He paid the food and we went to the lounge; we sat together and he was feeding me popcorn when the blonds entered the room glaring at me. I smirked and I heard Tom chuckling.

"Oh my, I never thought you would be a jealous one." He said chuckling.

"Jajah" I said scowling again.

"You are you father daughter." He said laughing now and I scowled harder. "Don't be angry little one, they are not interesting or beautiful to me."

"Yeah, I guess." I muttered and he forced me to look into his eyes.

"The film is starting and I think that you will love it" Tom said smiling and held me closer to him with my head on my chest. The movie was nice and I could feel him jumping in the scary parts, moving uncomfortable on the sexy ones and holding me closer on the sad ones. Near the end of the movie, I looked at him and he caressed my cheek. He bent slowly, getting close to me, giving me the time to pull away and finally he kissed me softly. It was so good; his lips were warm and plump; he lapped my lower lip so I gave him entrance and he caressed my tongue softy with his own. After some minutes, he pulled away and rested his forehead on mine panting.

"I never felt this before and I'm scared" Tom said.

"Me too Tom" I said softly.

"Care to learn with me?" Tom asked and I nodded "Coming to the manor for an ice cream?"

"Yes," I said kissing him softly and he sighed.

"Good little one" Tom said and he helped me up as the film was over.

We walked slowly to the apparition point as we know that we were changing our lives and the lives of many people. We sat on the kitchen and he took some muggle ice cream for us. Mint with chocolate chips. I laughed and he raised his brow.

"Is my favorite Tom" I said taking my glass and starting to eat. He sat next to me and put his arm around me so I rested my head on his chest again.

"I feel so good right now." He said smiling

"Me too" I said softly.

"Do you need to go back to the castle tonight?" He asked.

"I need to send a message to my father but he said I could stay for the weekend if I wanted." I said blushing

"Really?" he asked grinning

"Yes" I said blushing deeper.

"What happened dear one?" Tom aske and I looked down, "What Severus told you to make you feel uncomfortable?"

"He gave me the potion" I muttered and he looked at me shocked.

"He was expecting me to force myself into you?" He asked hurt.

"Nope, he was thinking more about me seducing you" I muttered and he smirked.

"We will do only thing that make you feel comfortable." Tom said, "I'm a man not a hormonal boy after all."

"I know," I said kissing him and he deepened the kiss.

"Tired?" He asked when I yawned.

"A little" I said, "Let me write to my dad and I will be all yours."

"That sounds great dear." Tom said smirking and I rolled my eyes.

I took a parchment and a pen and I wrote a short letter to my father telling him I would be back on Sunday noon. Pegasus hooted softly and took the letter to Hogwarts. Tom led me to his room and gave me and old t-shirt and boxer to sleep. He put his black pants and sat on the bed while I went to the bathroom to change.

When I came back to the room he was reading a parchment and waved me to join him. I sat on his lap and made circles on his bare chest while he read a letter from the French minister. I toyed with his flat nipple making him growl while his little buds hardened.

"Little one, let me read this please, I will answer tomorrow." He said and I nibbled softly one of his nipples making him moan. I saw him putting the letter on the bed side table and I knew that I was for a nice ride.

He pushed me to my back and kissed me hard, touching my body and making me moan against his lips.

"Tell me, somebody touch you like this before?" Tom asked and I shook my head, "But Potter and Weasley?"

"Harry is my brother and Ron kissed me twice but it was not good, too wet." I said blushing.

"So, nobody did this to you" Tom asked pinching my nipples before taking off my shirt and suckling my nipples hard and biting me. "I told you that you would have to make it up tonight but I never thought about this"

"Hmm, this is so good" I moaned and I pushed his head closer to my breast. I moaned his name when I felt his finger ghosting over my slit and he pressed his finger against my clit. He continued to attack my breasts while he entered me with one finger making me feel my walls stretching to his intrusion. "Oh Tom, this is so good."

"Are you sure little one?" Tom asked and I nodded moaning, "If I'd take you, I will never let you go"

"Made love to me Tom, please" I said and he pushed a second finger inside and started to prepare my pussy for him. He moved his fingers faster while he kissed, sucked and nibble every part of my body that he could reach. I was buckling my hips against his hand when I felt a warm currant over my body. "Tom this is so good, TOM!"

"Nice kitten, next time I will taste you but now I need to be inside you" Tom said pulling his fingers out and positioning his body between my legs. He rubbed the head of his cock on my folds and slowly started to enter me, trying to not make me feel any unnecessary pain. When he arrived at my hymen he looked at me and I nodded. He thrust hard and he was fully sheathed inside me. The pain was great and I felt some tears falling down my cheek. He kissed them away and talked softly into my ear. "Sloan, you are perfect, you are so soft and tight"

"Try to move slowly Tom" I said and he pulled out before thrusting slowly inside and I discovered that the pain was gone while the warm feeling inside me was back. "Move faster Tom."

"Merlin, you are so good, I will never let you go now" Tom said and moved faster. He put my legs on his shoulder, entering me deeper, thrusting inside me harder and faster, giving me all his power as I met every thrust trying to feel him deeper inside me. We were close and I could feel him losing his rhythm and he kissed me hard. "To whom you belong to Sloan, who is you mate?"

"You are Tom, you are my mate, and I'm yours" I yelled scratching his back.

"And I'm yours" Tom yelled coming inside me and I followed him yelling his name again.

We were panting with our head touching and I felt a bond forming between us.

"I love you little one" Tom said with his eyes closed.

"I love you too Tom." I said kissing him softly.

We felt sleep holding each other and he rested his head on my heart.

I woke up with some soft kisses on my nape and I opened my eyes to find Tom wearing black boxers and putting a trail full of food on the bed.

"I thought we could take breakfast here and go out after." Tom said, "We can go to muggle London again if you want."

"Can we go to the zoo?" I asked and he nodded smiling

"Of course." He said feeding me a cherry. "How do you feel? No regrets?"

"And you?" I asked afraid.

"Nope but what about you?" He asked and I kissed him softly, "Nice love."

"Join me on the shower?" I asked smirking.

"Are you not sore?" Tom asked,

"a little but is ok," I said walking to the bathroom and swinging my hips

"Minx" Tom said before taking me into his arms and carrying me to the shower.

An hour later we were apparating to the zoo and he bought the tickets. I wanted to see the Black Panther, they were beautiful and lethal like Tom. He bought me an ice cream and a little stuffed panther. I was laughing and he smiled watching me grin and jump around him happily.

Eventually we made it to the manor and he told me that he had a gathering that night so I took a book and I was heading to his room when he took my hand and stopped me.

"Where are you going?" He hissed.

"To your room, I thought you have things to talk with your followers so I believe you would want me in your rooms." I said confused.

"Are you embarrassed about our relationship?" He hissed again

"Never, I did not know what to do" I said looking down.

"Sorry love, I'm not used to this." Tom said after he saw me shuddering. "You are my mate, my girlfriend, my lover so I will not hide you. You will sit by my side."

"Ok" I said and I enjoyed his kisses.

"Maybe we need to talk Sloan?" Dad asked me.

"Severus, I need to talk with you before the gathering, can we go to my office?" Tom said and dad left the room, "Everything will be fine, got put the black robe I bought for you love. I will go to pick you up in ten minutes."

I entered the room and I found a beautiful back robe with some diamond on its cleavage. I found black pumps that felt like they were flats shoes and I fixed my hair in a lose bun. I was finishing with my make up when Tom entered the room and put a beautiful necklace on my neck. It was a platinum snake with green eyes. The head rested between my breasts and was beautiful.

"This belong to Salazar Slytherin's wife." Tom said kissing my neck.

"Everything was ok with my dad?" I asked and he nodded

"He only wanted to be sure that I would not hurt you love." Tom said and I nodded. "You have another year in Hogwarts and I want you to have the top scores for our project."

"The school?" I asked and he nodded.

"Is a great idea» He said nibbling my neck again. "Come they are waiting for us.

When we entered the room, everybody looked at us and Tom nodded. I sat on a small throne next to him and he held my hand while his followers told him about some irregularities on the ministry concerning muggleborn children, how they would be keep on the dark until the time to go to Hogwarts preventing a good integration for them and their families. The minister knew when every magical child was born and it could be good to help the parents and the children to adjust to the new condition or protect the children who suffered abuse at their homes for their magic. Tom was seething as he was a victim himself.

"What can we do?" Tom asked.

"My Lord, I know somebody who is trying to stop this for several years now" Dad said scared.

"You mean Dumbledore Severus?" Tom asked and Severus nodded, "but he wants to open our world to the muggles."

"Not really sir." Severus said, "His sister was assaulted when she was almost a child. Three muggles who saw her accidental magic, beat her and finally raped her driving her crazy. His father went to Azkaban for defending his child and her mother died years after because one wrong spell from his sister. Albus only wants to stop the war and the killings."

"Are you sure Severus?" Tom asked and Severus nodded.

"He was hoping that is you'd fall in love with her, you would want to speak with him about ending the war." Severus said and Tom scowled.

"What did you say to him?" Tom asked angry.

"I told him that nobody, not even you would use my baby girl" Severus yelled and Tom calmed down. "She is my only child and I will protect her."

"I know and I know that she would not toy with anybody heart." Tom said, "We will try a truce with the order to take over the ministry with their help. We will have to work with them to find a middle ground."

"This will be good sir" Lucius said, "We can do better things working with them than against them."

"Why you think like that" Tom asked.

"I found an Order's manuscript with their objectives. They want the same things we are fighting for without the killing and shouting for blood purity." Lucius said, "Horrible to say but we need new blood. You are half blood and you are more powerful than Goyle or Crabbe. Severus is powerful and he is half-blood too. Maybe if we have the school that you Lady talks about, we can stop the loss of our old traditions."

"Prepare yourself Lucius." Tom said and he winked at me.

"For what my Lord?" Lucius asked afraid.

"Your next job, I will do everything to put you as the next minister." Tom said and I giggled. "Good, now go, I have things to do."

Everybody left and dad kissed me before leaving with a nod in Tom' direction. We left the ballroom and we went to his chamber where he showed me, oh so many times, how much he loved to have me in his manor.
