A/N: Ok this is my second attempt to write this. The first time my dad "accidentally" deleted it. This is a story set back in MWPP time. There are a couple made ups, both of which I play in different RPGs. If you have a problem with made ups don't read this. It's kinda hard to write a MWPP time story w/o made-ups. So yah, enjoy and review. All flames will be used to keep me warm when I'm standing at my bus stop.
Warning: This fic mainly centers around my made-up character Sabrina Summers. Also, Snape is in this and he's one of my fav characters so if you hate him you might not like this.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything 'cept for Sabrina Summers and her family (except for one family member who you'll find out about if you read on), her best friend Audrea, and the plot.
===============================================================================================
Sunlight filtered in from a gap in the curtains. The beam landed directly on Sabrina Summers face. She was still asleep, her blond hair splayed across her pillow and a slight smile playing her lips. A slight tapping sound came from the window. It was a fairly quiet sound but it was enough to wake her up. Her eyelids fluttered open revealing a pair of blue eyes. She yawned and sat up. Upon looking at the window she saw an owl through the gap in the curtains. She stood up and opened the window. The owl flew in and dropped two letters on Sabrina's bed, then it looped around and flew back out the window.
Sabrina ran back to her bed. The letters were both from Hogwarts. One was for her and one was for her sister Morgan who was asleep in the bed next to her's. She smiled and figured she should wake Morgan up because she'd want to know that her letter had come.
Sabrina crept across to Morgan's bed as quietly as she could. She bent down, and leaned in she was right up close to Morgan's ear. Then she took in a deep breath and yelled "WAKE UP!" at the top of her lungs.
Morgan sat up with a start, screaming. After a few seconds she realized it was just Sabrina playing a trick on her. "I'm gonna kill you!" Morgan yelled and pounced Sabrina. After a few minutes of shouting and rolling on the floor both girls collapsed into a couple of giggling heaps.
When Sabrina caught her breath she managed to say "The reason I woke you up is cuz our Hogwarts letters arrived."
"Really?" asked Morgan sitting up.
"Yup!" Sabrina said as she grabbed the letters and handed Morgan her's. Sabrina was going into her fifth year at Hogwarts and Morgan was going into her second. Sabrina quickly read over her letter and then got up to get dressed. She put on a t-shirt and a pair of shorts and then quickly ran a brush through her hair before putting it back in clips. She ran out in the hall and slid down the poll that lead to the downstairs. (A/N: She has an interesting house...you'll find out more about it later...just imagine the kind of poll that they have in fire station things...)
Sabrina ran into the kitchen. "Mum, Dad, we got out Hogwarts letters!" She said happily as Morgan skidded into the room. Her parents looked up at them with a sad look in their eyes. It looked like her mom had been crying.
"What happened?" asked Morgan, looking around.
"You mother is very sad because your grandpa just died." Their dad said solemnly.
Sabrina and Morgan looked at each other. Sabrina knew that she should be sad but she really wasn't. She had only met her grandpa on her mum's side once when she was very little. She knew nothing about her mum's side of the family other than the fact that she had a grandpa. She didn't know if her mum had any brothers or sisters or even what her maiden name was. She decided to fake being sad, something that she was very good at.
"Oh, no! Not grandpa!!!" She said pretending to have a tear well up in her eye.
Morgan caught on too. "Oh, that's awful!" She sniffled.
"It's ok, he's in a better place." Their dad said sympathetically.
Sabrina fought down the urge to burst out laughing, but managed to keep a sad face. Her parents were eating her act right up.
"The funeral is tomorrow." their mum said in a scratchy voice.
Sabrina nodded. Her father made a hand motion for the girls to leave him alone with their mother, and they did so. They spent the rest of the day either in their room or comforting their mom.
***********************************************************************~*~*****************************************************************************
The next day the entire Summers family, dressed in black, piled into the car. Sabrina zoned out for most of the car ride and church ceremony, thinking about her friends back at Hogwarts. Pretty soon they were standing at the grave, watching as the priest sprinkled ashes on the coffin. "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust..."
Sabrina found her eyes wandering to the various people standing in the crowd. Suddenly her eyes fell upon a person she most defiantly didn't want to see there. 'Is that Snape???' she asked herself. 'What the hell is he doing here?' She waited until the funeral was pretty much over and people started whispering about how much they were going to miss her grandpa.
"Dad, who are they?" She wispered, gesturing to Snape and the two people she assumed were his parents.
"Oh, that's you Uncle Julius, your mum's brother, your Aunt Sinclaire, and your cousin Severus. Oh look, they're coming our way." Sabrina's dad replied.
By this time Sabrina's eye's were the size of dinner plates. She felt like she was either going to faint or be sick. Snape was related to her? How was that even possible? They were exact opposites! Black hair, blonde hair, black eyes, blue eyes, Slitherin, Gryffindor, evil, not so evil. There had to be some mistake.
Snape and his parents had walked over and the four adults were striking up rather forced sounding conversation. Sabrina could tell by the look on Snape's face that he had just found out about them being cousins too. It felt like the world as she knew it was falling apart. For the longest time the two of them just stared at each other, a mixture of anger, hate, and confusion on their faces.
Sabrina was jolted to her senses by a single statement. "Yes, we were going on a vacation, just the two of us. Do you think Severus could stay with you while we're gone?"
"WHAT?!?!?" Sabrina and Severus yelled at the same time.
Both their parents gave them stern looks and Sabrina's mum said, "Sure, we'd love to."
"I don't believe this..." Sabrina muttered under her breath. This was officially the worst day of her life.
***********************************************************************~*~*****************************************************************************
As soon as Sabrina was home she ran up to her room with out a word to her parents. She flopped down on her bed and buried her head in her pillow. Then she took a deep breath and screamed the longest and loudest scream she had ever screamed. Her sister Morgan looked on helplessly, no idea what to do.
***********************************************************************~*~*****************************************************************************
Sabrina sat in the remains of her room. She had spent the last hour and a half stomping around her room and throwing things. She had said tons of things she would probably never repeat. The shock and disbelief had passed and now she was angry. Her room was destroyed and she had nearly killed Morgan a few times with a airborne dictionary or something similar. At the time, destroying her room had seemed like a good idea, but now it seemed like a pretty stupid decision. It hadn't helped anything and she didn't feel any better. Snape was still her cousin. She was still an angry girl. Now she was just an angry girl with a leveled room. With any luck she could convince one of her parents, most likely her dad, to fix her room by magic, if not she'd have to do it the muggle way. The only thing in her room that she hadn't thrown or tried to kill was a little box that her grandpa had left her. She would have smashed it to bits if it weren't for the fact that her mum would probably smash her into bits if she did. It was a stupid box too. It was a plain wooden box with a little lock. The lock was locked and there was no key, which was really pointless.
Sabrina had no idea what she was going to do for the three days that Snape was supposed to stay with them. She couldn't lock herself in her room the whole time. Well, she probably *could* but her mum or dad would make her come out. She was just going to have to face this with her head held high, but what would her friends say when she was back to school? She already knew that Sirius, and quite possible James, would shun her from the group. She was still the same person, but talking to a slitherin, especially Snape or Malfoy, in a friendly way would be considered fraternizing with the enemy, but being the enemy's cousin? She shuddered at the thought. What was she going to do?
===============================================================================================
Well, what do ya think? I know it's not really very exciting now but it will be later. I promise... Anyways... I think it's pretty good. Well if your still reading then please review. If I get reviews I'll keep going. Special thanx to Cassidy and her muses for helping me come up with this idea. ^_^ TTFN!
