My first fanfic, it's allmoust scary…( to write it I mean…)

And by the way, english is not my native language, so I will probabbly spell a lot of words wrong, and also fail gramatically. Please be openminded, and focus on what I have written, not HOW it's written….PLEASE….

******************************************************

Severus Snape was tired. Sometimes he wonderend if he really hated children…This afternoon, teatching double potions to Hufflepuff and Ravenclaws first years, had really worn him out.

I never thaught it was possible to make an healing-potion explode, he murmeled to himselfe, as he entered the staffroom. He had two hours off before dinner, looked forward to spend them at the fire in the staffroom, not any stupid children nearby.



He went in the direction of his favorite chair, and stoppet looking on the scene in front of him: In his favorite chair there was a small boy fast asleep. His age was about five, and he was curled up in the huge chair as a kitten. And in the chair closest to the boy there was a woman, not familiar to him whit another boy on her lap. This one was not much older than a baby, about a year old, and the woman was obviosly trying to make him sleep, singing slowly in a low voise, rocking him gentle.

Snape was standing watching them, to shocked to make a noise. Beeing a part of Dumbledores staff, and also a death-eater had made him used to expect the unexpected, but to walk right into this peaceful family scene in the staffroom, was not what he expected.

The sleeping boy in the chair, the connection between the woman and the baby, they where all he didn't have. He felt like an intruder, standing there watching them.

Finally the babys eyes closed, and the woman rose, kissed the babys forehead as she laid him down in a babys basket at the side of the chair.

Snape made a noice to make her notice him, and she looked up., gave him a weak smile, holding her finger in front f her lips, to make sure he didn't wake the children.

She was just as tired as the boys, he could see, dark shades under her eyes and she moved a little stiffly as she aproched him.



-I'm Professor Severus Snape, may I help you? He asked.

She presented herselfe as Occotina Svaart.

-I'm the mother of Jacob Svaart in Hufflepuff, he started here two weeks ago, she said. I need to see the headmaster, do you know where he is?

Snape was about to answer as Dumbledore himselfe appeared in the room.- I'm here Mrs. Svaart, he said, I was told its urgent, do you need us t get your son?

She shooked her head, -No, I don't want to worry him unessescarry, but I need your help.

The headmaster nodded and leaded her away from the sleeping children, Snape beeing a bit curious followed tnem with is eyes, as they seated themselfe in the other end of the room, then he turned and left in the direction of his private chambers.

-Now, tell us what's your problem is, the older wizzard said to the young woman in front of him.

She looked into his twinkeling blue eyes and started to cry.

-It's my husband! He threw me out of the house because of Jacob starting at Hogwarts this fall! He said that no one in his family ever had been wizzards, so it had to be the bad blood of mine turning up in the boys!

As I refused to take Jacob out of school, wanting him to have the chanse I never got, I'm not very well educated in wizzardry, He kicked me out, together with these two small ones, and now I don't know what to do!



Snape, who had stopped in the doorway, and listened was shocked. Damned muggles, not knowing what a real treasure is! he thought angrily, looking at the little family. How could anyone throw that away?!?!?

-How did you get here? Dumbledores voice sounded conserned, as I remember, you live quite a way from here.

-We walked mostly, Mrs. Svaart answerred tired, I didn'n have any money, as spent my last ones on Jacobs equipment. And travelling with theese two, she nodded in direction of the fire and the sleeping boys, I didn't dare to hitch-hike either. We left the day after Jacob, but Jonas here have short legs, we couldt walk so very fast.

-how old is he? Snape forgot to pretend that he wasn't there, The boy didn't look a day older than five, and his mother was sitting here, telling that he just had been walking for fourteen days?!?!

-He's four and a halfe, Mrs. Svaart said, looked up to Snape with a proud voice, I had to carry him a bit, but I had to carry Edwin too, so he had to walk most of the way…

The two wizzards looked at the young mother silently, both with an impressed look in their faces.

-You carried them both, Dumbledore said quietly, I'm impressed.

She looked a bit embarresed, -It's nothing to make a fuzz over, it was the only way we could get here, and this was the only place I knew I could turn to.

But what now? I have no place to live, I have no job, I have three children to take care of, and, she started to sob, I don't know what to do!

Dumbledore turned to Snape, -Severus, will you go and fetch Minerva, Madam Pomfrey and Professor Sprout to me?

Snape nodded silently and swept off, as Dumbledore embrased the crying woman, patting her on her back.

-Shush, shush child, everything will be OK! I promise! The old man blinked, looking after Snape with a strange calculating look in his eyes…

Puh, end of chapter one, you might guess what's going to happen…

Please, give me some reviews!

To day is 30 april, it's beltaine and I want to get out to fly on my broom….
