A New Life
Severus glances down at his daughter snuggled safely in his arms.
He hates that he has to give her up even for a short amount of time.
He was leaving her with old family friends Aidan and Eleanor Cavanagh.
A very nice couple who would protect her with their lives.
That is exactly the type of people he needs her to be with.
He strokes her cheek lightly with his fingers she opens her eyes and looks right at him.
He feels love coursing through him but immediately squelches it.
He could not let anyone know about her not even himself.
Before he goes anywhere he is going to take out his memories and put them in his pensieve for later.
He knocks on the door whispers quietly in her ear. "Be good my Angel, I love you."
Adrian answers the door and Severus hands her over nodding once and walking away.
Soon the Dark Lord should fall and he can get her back.
16 years later I open my eyes and stretch then glance at my clock.
"Oh my gosh dad is coming today." I have to smile.
I still live with the Cavanagh family but I get to see my dad a lot now.
I hurry up and get ready checking myself in the mirror.
Gray blue eyes, hair down a little past my shoulders with black and blond streaks that I have had since I was born.
Everyone thinks it is strange, me I love it.
I go downstairs as usual he is sitting waiting for me in the living room.
I smile and say hello to my sort of adopted family Adrian and Eleanor Cavanagh.
I sit down on the couch across from my father.
"You said in your letter you had something you needed to tell me."
He nods at me.
I sit waiting patiently.
"Alaina, I gave birth to you. I know this is confusing but it is the way of the Wizarding World. You have another father, and a stepmother."
I sit in shocked silence.
Then I grin "Are you serious?"
"Yes." He answers smirking.
I laugh "So do I have any siblings?"
He nods. "You have a brother Draco, he is my godson and your half brother.
"Do they know about me?"
He shakes his head."Things were different then more complicated."
I nod but feel sad.
I have a whole other family who don't even know I exist.
He glances at me and sighs."I want you to meet them but you must be on your best behavior."
I roll my eyes."When am I anything else."
He chuckles."I am going to their house soon. I am hoping to explain it to them soon after I get there. I don't know how they will react."
I nod and smile.
I hand him a small package.
"Dad, thanks for doing this."
He just nods and says goodbye then floos to Malfoy Manor.
Once he reaches the manor he goes down to Lucius's study.
He knocks quietly.
"Enter."
He opens the door and goes in.
Lucius is sitting beside a lit fireplace drinking a fire whiskey.
He turns his head and nods at Severus."I have something of grave importance I need to talk to you about." Severus states.
"Of course Severus come in and have a seat. Would you care for a drink?"
He just shakes his head taking a seat in the leather arm chair across from Lucius.
"I have something that I should have told you about years ago. I have a daughter." Severus says quietly.
Lucius just nods."Well that is interesting news. But why would you need to tell me this."
Severus just stares him in the eye as he says the next part.
"We have a daughter Lucius."
He stares at me and shakes his head once.
"That can't be possible. We haven't been together in years."
"17 years or so."
He just nods his head looking shocked.
This is not how Severus thought he would react so this came as a surprise.
"So we have a daughter."
"She is 16 and so beautiful. She has your eyes and both of our hair color. I'm not sure how that happened. I told her about you today she is excited about meeting you."
Lucius nods still in shock.
"Father, I need a new Quidditch uniform." Draco states coming into the room without knocking.
Lucius just nods, "Whatever you want."
Severus starts searching his pockets and pulls out a package.
"Here, this is from a very good friend of mine who sent this for you."
He unshrinks the package and hands it to Draco.
He opens it and sitting there were a set of Quidditch robes that are black and silver.
"She said you would probably only wear them at home but she thought you would like them." Severus states.
Draco's looks at him."Who is this person?" Draco demands.
"Your sister. " Lucius answers.
"I don't have a sister." Draco answers sounding confused.
Severus and Lucius just nod.
"She is the same age as you, and has the same colored eyes. She is a great person to be around."
Meanwhile at the Cavanagh residence it had only been ten minutes since Severus had left.
Narcissa Malfoy sticks her head in the fireplace and is invited over.
She sits in the living room waiting for her step daughter.
"Hello, Mrs. Malfoy it is nice to meet you."
I smile and push a strand of my hair back.
She looks up and smiles."I am your Step-Mother you may call me Narcissa."
"It is very nice to meet you. My name is Alaina." She laughs and I smile.
"Well Alaina I was hoping you might like to come over for dinner with my, well our family." she asks.
"I would love that." I say, checking myself over I decide my knee length blue gray dress should work fine.
I follow Narcissa to the fireplace, I watch as she disappears saying Malfoy Manor.
I follow behind her and find myself being whisked away to the manor.
I smile at Narcissa when I step through the fireplace.
"Are you sure my dad won't be mad?" I ask quietly.
"Which one dear?" She asks. She smiles at me and urges me to follow her.
We finally are standing n from of his study after a quick walk through the manor.
"It is time to meet your new family dear."
I smile and nod following her into the study.
"Alaina what are you doing here?" My father asks.
"Mrs. Malfoy invited me over for dinner."
I see the shock in his eyes but he quickly masks it, his face going back to its neutral expression.
He says quietly "Lucius, Draco, I would like you to meet Alaina Elizabeth Snape Malfoy."
Lucius and Draco have identical smirks on their faces.
I glance at Narcissa to see her stifling a laugh.
I laugh once and I know that if I don't leave soon I will not be able to stop.
"Please excuse me for a moment."
I quickly leave the room with Narcissa right behind me.
The minute she shuts the door after a quick silencio we bust into laughter.
"Oh Merlin that is funny." I stop laughing and smile at my step mother.
"So I have a brother. I always did want siblings."
I gasp and double over, as I stand up I take off running for the study.
I had just seen a glass statue falling on Draco's head. I knew I could not let that happen.
