Harry Potter and the Unexpected ! Chapter 1: A secret Professor Snape was in his office when Dumbledore and Professor Trelawney walked into his office and looked straight at him.
"Serveus, we need to talk," said Dumbledore, with his face serious.
"I will finish tidying up for you," said a mysterious whisper, from Professor Trelawney.
Ok,but.....stay out of my personal files,"answered snape, with a harsh voice.
Dumbledore and Professor snape walked down to Dumbledores' office.
"Chocolate snakes," Dumbledore said, then a moment later, the stature moved out of the way and Dumbledore opened the door to his office and both he and the professor walked inside, to a cosy fire and Fawkes, who flew over to Dumbledores' shoulder.
"Please, sit down,"said Dumbledore.
"Why am I here?" Asked snape.
"Serveus, I understand that you are worried, maybe even scared, if Voldemort comes, but that does not allow you to miss the meetings, especially with it being so near to the school opening-"
"But Dumbledore, I don't see why I need to go to the meetings, since it has been settled," snarled Professor Snape.
"Serveus, even if everything has been settled, you should know that, all three students in the 5th year and the one in the 4th year, will have a hard time, so don't always bark at them, especially Francessca and the one from the muggle world, who will both have a hard time."
"Dumbledore-"
"In the meetings you have missed, we have decided this and her and her sister, Ashley, will be treated like any other student," Dumbledore said with more force.
"Dumbledore-"
"PROFESSOR!!!" Shouted Professor Trelawney
"What-"Dumbledore and Professor Snape, but they both stopped mid sentence, for Professor Trelawney had burst into Dumbledores' office, with her hair all out in different places and looked shocked.
"Look at this both of you," said professor Trelawney, handing them a letter.
It said: Dear Mr. Snape,
We have reason to believe, you should know a 15 year old girl, who is to be believed as your Daughter, and is at the Orphanage, hoping for you to come get her, for she will be on her own if you do not, in a year, when she will be given a job, with no family or home. In all my years,I have never seen such peculiar behaviour, which we will tell you more about when we see you.
Please contact me soon, if you have any queries or to pick up your daughter, you should also know that her mother died at birth, which in a way is why we are sending this letter, please contact me by the 20th August 1995.
Miss. J. Ellen
Social Services
"And now, look at this 'form',"said Professor Trelawney, looking at Snapes face, as she handed him the form.
For about 5 minutes, Professor Trelawney stared at their faces, then....
"Sible, where-?, Dumbledore paused.
"What is this?,"Snape said, with his voice growing louder.
"Professor Snape, this letter and form, which you have just read is an adoption form and-,"
"AN ADOPTION FORM!,"shouted Professor Snape
"Professor,-,"
"Serveus, be reasonable and don't interrupt Sible at this moment," Dumbledore finally said.
"Thank you, Dumbledore, now this letter came when I was tidying up,"there was a pause from Professor Trelawney and a strong tension between everyone when Dumbledore spoke.
"Serveus, since when were you a father with a muggle 'women'?"Dumbledore asked, on the verge of laughter.
" She wasn't a muggle, she was a witch, and I just don't believe this,"snape paused.
"You don't think this is real, do you?"asked snape, with surprise in his voice.
"Well, have you been in the muggle world, before?,"Asked Trelawney.
"Er...well...em....no, not...not really,"said Professor snape, not being too sure.
Then no one spoke, until Dumbledore asked,
"Ok, when were you in the muggle world and why?"
"Ok, ok, I'll tell you everything, just don't stop me," Snape stopped and took a breath,
" I was 20 years old, when I decided to take some floo powder and go to london, which was just before I joined Voldemort and the place was packed and then I throught I should leave, when she came.......Ann was her name, we spent the whole day together and she, well, broght me back to her place, to spend the night," he paused and saw Dumbledore with a grin on his face, while P. Trelawney was waiting for him to finish.
"What, LOVE!?!, you in love,"said P. Trelawney.
"Well, yes, and about 2 months later, she looked different, when I said so, she said 'of cause I do, I'm Pregnant, oh and I'm a witch,' and we had a long talkand I told her I was a wizard, and I left, muttering an excuse and the next time I would usually go visit her,I write a letter to her, with money and I continued to write the letters, but I didn't go to see her again but then I joined Vol-you-know-who."
When Professor Snape finished, he looked relieved while Professor Trelawney looked surprised but Dumbledore had a small smile on his hard, old face.
"You left her, didn;t tell her where to contact you-," Dumbledores' smile was gone while Professor Trelawney said,
"The sprite warned me about this, you falling in love and having a child,"
All of the Professors looked at the letter and Dumbledore laughed.
"You're just going to have to collect her,"Dumbledore said softly.
"WHAT-"
"Please don't-"
"Why should I go collect the girl when she lives in the muggle world."
"You should go get your Daughter, since you are her only family and I think she has magic so-"
Professor Snape was shocked by what Dumbledore had said about the girl being a witch and he looked taken back from surprise while Sible looked like it made sense and that Dumbledore.
"Dumbledore is right, go her, if that is all I must go to my sanctuary, for the crystal ball has warned me about the future if I stay any longer, so Good-bye," and at that she turned and left the room.
"Serveus, you have until tomorrow to contact her and she will be in contact, we will go meet her and collect your Daughter, she will go to Hogwarts and will be in either class, depending on which class tha sorting hat will decide, ok?"and Dumbledore, at the moment looked like a old wizard.
"Ok, but what about her, what about her life and her surname,Snape, everyone will know she's my Daughter," he finished with sarcasm in his voice.
"This has gone on long enough, we will look at those things after we meet with Miss.Ellen, now don't you have to get to your office and finish tidying?"Dumbledore asked, waiting, he opened the door and waited for Professor Snpe to leave.
While Professor Snape finally left, on his way back to his office, he was thinking, 'me a father, this has got to be a joke, I DO NOT HAVE A DAUGHTER, and that is final'.
He walked in his office and started organising it, but then he sat down andstarted to imagine what it would be like if she was like him and relized that, by the letter, she probably was so....
But then Peeves came into his office and messed it up then left, so he had to do it again.
At, around dinner time, Professor Snape was just about to goto the Great Hall or the Staff room, trying to decide which one to go to, when a big brown owl flew in and dropped a letter on to his desk.
He went to pick it up but then decided not to, to leave it but the owl bit him, so he picked it up and put it into his pocket, then, seeing the owl, he shooed it out and left his office.
On his way to the staff room, he met Dumbledore and they walked to the staff room together, they went in without speaking and all of the other Professors were their.
"Dumbledore, how many students are joining us?"Asked Professor Mcgonnagal, a small smile appeared with a raised eyebrow.
"Well, there are 3 students from Beauxbatons and 1 muggle born who never knew she was a witch,"he paused and glanced at Snape who nodded his head, as if saying, 'you might as well tell them, since she will probably join us.'
" Also, their is another student, who will come here tomorrow, she is 15 years old and is called Michelle Antoinette, or.....Snape, as Professor Snape is her father and Serveus will go, with me, to collect her, also she has no mother," at that moment, everyone looked surprised except Dumbledore, Professor Snape and Professor Trelawney, who was just looking around at everyone.
After, about an hour, of people asking questions, Professor Snape , finally decided to go back to his office, he opened the letter which the owl had gave him, and he read it quickly which also had a phone number on it.
He knew he had to ring her and knew that Mrs figg, who lived at his old house, had sent him the instructions on how to use a telephone.
Once he knew all of the instructions, on how to use a telephone, he rang Miss j Ellen and organised a meeting for the next day.
Once he finished talking on the phone he finally hung up, but for the rest of the day he kept on jumping when someone said something to him, because the only thing he could think of was, 'what is the famous Harry Potter, the know-it-all Hermione Granger and the redheaded Ron Weasley going to say about him having a Daughter.
When the next day came, he wasn't sure if he wanted to go to meet her or not, but then Dumbledore forced the Professor to go and by the time they were in London, in 'normal clothes,'Serveus looked like a stubborn, Greasy haired man, with a old T-shirt and some trousers.
"These are uncomfortable, Dumbledore," remarked Professor Snape.
"Call me.........Daniel, the Headmaster, and it doesn't matter, if they are uncomfortable or not, 'Steve'," finished Dumbledore.
"Steve???"asked Professor Snape, with shock.
"Well you can't use your real name, can you?"Dumbledore told 'Steve'.
"Hello, are you Steve, Steve Thomas?"Asked a middle aged lady, with one or two grey hairs, she also had blue, clear eyes, with white smooth skin and brown hair with some small curls.
"Yes.....depending on who's asking, are you Miss J Ellen?" Asked Professor snape, while Dumbledore was just looking at the lady.
"Yes, er-who is this?" She asked, pointing at Dumbledore.
"Oh, er, this is, em-",
"Daniel Doral, the Headmaster,"said Dumbledore, smiling.
"Nice to meet you, are you here to see if you can enrol Michelle in your school?"Miss Ellen asked.
"Yes I'm-"
"Where is Michelle Antoinette then?" Asked snape, harshly.
"She is still at the orphanage, with the other children, but I it is my duty to tell you, she seems to be able to move herself, like the other day she was learning about countries and she seemed to concentrate hard on going to Paris and Africa, when she did," Miss Ellen paused after the shocking news.
"We have to get a taxi to the east and walk a bit, okay?"finished the lady.
"Yes, yes, can we get going, please," said Professor snape.
As they waited for the taxi, Dumbledore and Professor snape kept on shifting their weight while Miss Ellen was starring at their clothes they wore, she was going to say something when the taxi arrived.
For 1 and a half hours they passed houses, buildings and people.
After a while, they were outside a hut and when they got out, the social services lady told them:"This is my hut, the orphanage is just up their," and she pointed to a big white building, with lots of windows.
"Why are we here-,"Snape was asking.
"Your Daughter, Mr. Thomas, is inside with 2 otherstudents,"finished Miss Ellen.
"Okay-,"
"But before we go in , can you tell us, does she turn people into animals? Does she have a bad or good temper? Does she fit in here? Does she have any friends? What is she, Bravest? Cleverest? Greatest? Or Loyal?" Finished Dumbledore, waiting for the answers, ignoring Snapes face.
"Er, well, she doesn't turn people into animals, er, she has a good temper, sometimes, but every now and then, she has a bad temper, I , er, like to think she fits in, yes she does fit in, but friends, not really, she did but they left and she doesn't show-off, but she is brave, clever and 'greatest', depending on how you look at it, em, if that is all, let us meet the 3 girls and you can see Michelle Antoinette, or, er will she be called Michelle Thomas? Asked Miss Ellen, waiting for an answer.
" Thomas, Michelle 'Thomas', let us meet her then," Answered Snape with spite.
"She's in their," said Miss Ellen, pointing to the Hut.
They walked over to the Hut and Miss Ellen knocked twice, then once then three more times. No one answered. She knocked again, then pushed the door open.
No one was their.
As the three of them walked in, Snape noticed it was dark and cold, Miss Ellen noticed this and said, "Michelle designed this place, since she is in here more often than I am, but in the sun, it's very nice," finished the lady.
" So where is Michelle?" Asked Snape smirking
" Er, I don't-"
" Miss Ellen, please miss, I know," said a voice of a little girl, 'about 8 or 9 years old', thought Dumbledore.
"Lisa!! Where are they?" Asked the frantic, Miss Ellen.
" She made Kelly disappear to the roof and then she disappeared of somewhere," said Lisa.
The was a faint pop, after that and Miss Ellen spoke.
" This is Michelle, behind you,"she said, pointing behind them.
Professor Snape and Dumbledore turned around.
*******************************************
The day before her father would be coming, Michelle Antoinette was in her room, at the Orphanage, where she was for most of her life, when she started to think of America and she just closed her eyes, imagined herself there and she appeared in a shopping mall, but after a while she thought of the Orphanage and she was back.
All through her life she knew she was different, she had no family except a man she knew nothing about but she knew
