AN: I would like to take this moment to say thank you for all those who have waited patiently for the second part in the story. I had to brain storm what I wanted for the beginning and I have finally got one. Alright. You have waited long effort so here is the first chapter of Daughter to Snakes.

They say that you can be anxious for something but also dreading the even thought of the idea or topic, and that was the way Lillian found herself thinking after her first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Lillian sat high in the one of the many towers of Hogwarts and thought. It had only been a few days since the ending feast and her fellow students leaving but for Lillian it felt like ages had passed.

Lillian took a seat against the cold stone and began wondering. In a short year she had manage to get into the Slytherin house, befriend gryffindors and even allowed the whole entire school to know her true identity. It seems like the ten months had allowed Lillian to be reborn. None longer did she feel so alone. No now she had friends and she wonder how all of them were spending their holidays. Knowing Hermonie she was no doubt getting an early thought to her homework. Lillian had also started hers due to her father rule that she must spend at least two hours every day studying and preparing for next year. Lillian had even made a few cheat sheets because she knew Ron and Harry were going to need them.

Lillian saw Blacktip her pet owl fly into the tower and take a seat beside her with a letter held tightly in his beak. Lillian lightly petted his soft features before taking the letter and placing beside her.

"Sorry pal, I don't have an owl treat with me right now. I ran out of them. I'll see about getting you a piece of meat tonight okay," said Lillian.

Blacktip lower his head a bit and light nib at Lillian hand as if to say he understood. He then took to the air and flew out the large windows. Lillian then took the letter to see it was from Ron.

Hey Lil,

Lillian lightly laughed and remember the day Ron came up with the nickname and then she remember how her father looked almost lost in sadness for a second when he heard it. Lillian knew better however then asking her father because he would just mutter it was nothing or that she was mistaken. Lillian then turned her glaze back to the letter. Ron messy handwriting always took her forever at times to figure out what he was trying to say to her.

So how is summer with the bat? Sorry, still getting used to the fact that your father is Snape of all people. Well he has to have some good qualities, after all he did raise you. Everything fine here. Fred and George at up to something and mom figures it only going to lead to some form of trouble.

My sister Ginny is coming to Hogwarts next year and she looks forward to meeting you, Hermonie and especially Harry. So out of curiosity any idea of how the lessons are going to go with your father this year. Just kidding Lil. Anyway I have to go. All the best.

Ron.

Lillian smiled. It was odd if anyone else had made those statements or jokes she would have been made but she knew with Ron, Harry that it was just a joke and that they care very little about her identity. Lillian placed the letter in her robe and slowly got up.

Her father said that they would be returning to their house in a few days once everything was set up and prepare to a point that her father didn't have to come back any earlier then needed to prepare for the class.

Lillian was amazed to learn that she was one of the students at the top of her class. There were to other, Hermonie and a first year Ravenclaw who Lillian couldn't recall the name of. Her father seemed impress and even let her help him in his potion lab a bit more often and he had even given her the password into it so she could practice her brewing as long as she told him before hand and the potion she was going to be brewing.

Lillian enjoy potions, however it wasn't her favorite subject. Her favorite subject at the moment was charms and Lillian was glad that Madame Pince allowed her access to the library and she was even going to allow her to take home a few books from the library over the summer time. Lillian knew it was partially because her father was the potion master at the school, but she also knew it was because whenever she borrowed a book she always treated them with great care as if they were her own. Never did she have her books out near food or drinks of any kind. Never did she leave them lying around somewhere, and she would always return them either on the day that they were due or a few days before hand.

Lillian decided she might as well go and visit the library since she was not expect at dinner until around 6:00pm and it was only 3:30pm. Lillian made her way down the many stairs leading from the tower and on her way down she bumped into Professor Dumbledore.

"Ah Lillian, I thought you might be up here," said Professor Dumbledore smiling at Lillian.

"Good afternoon head master," said Lillian bowing her head a bit in order to show respect to the old wizard who in many ways was like her grandfather. "Is everything alright sir?"

"Oh yes of course good child. Actually I was about to have a bit of tea and wanted to know if you would like to join me?"

"I would be honor sir."

"Very well. Follow me Lillian."

So Lillian followed slowly behind Professor Dumbledore and soon they had come to his office. The stone Griffin stood there proudly guarding the way up to his office and Lillian waited for Professor Dumbledore to give the password.

"Chocolate Frog," said Professor Dumbledore.

Lillian gave a soft smile and let out a soft chuckle to which Dumbledore smiled at. Lillian knew it had to be a type of candy or sweet that would be the password but she never would suspect chocolate frog to be it. Lillian however follow Professor Dumbledore up the stone steps and into his office.

"Make yourself comfortable Lillian," said Professor Dumbledore going over to his magical tea pot. "Is cinnamon tea alright with you?"

"That would be great sir," said Lillian as she took a seat across from his desk.

"Would you like a lemon drop Lillian," said Professor Dumbledore.

"Yes please," said Lillian taking on and putting it in her mouth. "Thank you sir."

"You're quite welcome my dear. So any plans for the summer?"

"Well my father has told me I have to do some studying and I also have my summer homework to do but outside that I don't know yet."

"I'm sure you will be able to figure something out. So are you looking forward to next year?"

"To be honest sir, I am having mixed feeling about it."

"How so?"

"Well I am happy because I can't wait to continue to learn and everything however I'm worried about you know everyone knowing my identity and everything."

"You didn't have to tell them you know."

"I know sir, but the lie was getting to the point where it was driving me crazy trying to keep from saying the wrong thing or changing my story. It is better everyone knew."

"Well if you are fearful of your grades you need not fear that. The ministry himself looks over any papers or test mark by a student with a parent on the teaching staff. They've been looking over yours all year."

"I know sir, my dad explain that to me. It just trying to convince others of that fact..."

"Yes I understand," said Dumbledore getting up and pouring the two cups of tea. He then placed one in front of Lillian who slowly began drinking her's.

"Oh yes before my old mind allows me to forget," said Dumbledore once again getting up and going over to a large chest on the other side of the room. "Now where did I put it?"

Lillian waited in silent and soon Professor Dumbledore hands her a large package wrapped in brown wrapping paper.

"I'm sorry to say I won't be able to see you on August 12th this year since I have to attend to a staffing problem prior to it and I must speak with the minister so I wanted you to have it now. Harry Birthday Lillian," said Professor Dumbledore.

Lillian knew that Professor Dumbledore's presents were always so thought out so carefully picked out. Lillian placed the present on her lap and looked at the card on top. The card was magical and when you open it musical notes would float in the air playing a soft tone from Mozart. Lillian smiled at the card and placed her softly to the side.

Lillian slowly unwrapped the present to see that it was an assortment of variety of objects and twinkets. Lillian looked them over and admire each one with great interest. The fist one was head in a small black box and when Lillian open it she had a silver necklace with a emerald shape penant shaped like a heart, and in the center of the heart was a small red stone that was cut into a diamond shape.

"It belong to my mother. It's a keep shake that has been passed down though my family for about three generations," explain Dumbledore.

"It's Beautiful sir," said Lillian carefully placing it on her.

Lillian glanced over to the small mirror to the left of Professor Dumbledore office and saw the necklace looked amazing on her and seem to bring out her hazel eyes more clearly then ever. Lillian then moves back to the presents and takes out a feature quill made from a feature that Lillian knew come only come from a phoenix.

"Thank you sir," said Lillian as she looked for the flame bird but only to see him gone. "It's beautiful and please tell Fawkes I said thank you to sir. It's amazing."

"I am glad you like it. Fawkes is not one to give up his features very lightly. He wasn't even going to do so until I told him it was to make a quill for you," explain Professor Dumbledore.

Lillian smiled and place the quill safely aside and began looking around again. There were a collect of small brown books with blank pages inside of them. Lillian admire the books and looked up when she heard Professor Dumbledore voice.

"It's a very useful item. Place a drop of anything in it and it makes a note on all ingredients in the substance and when it was made and everything. I figure it might help you in your potion class," said Dumbledore.

"Thank you sir," said Lillian placing the books also aside and then she turned to the final two presents.

The last two were a two robes made of finest satin and silk. The first one was a black one with silver marking along it. Lillian admire it and notice it was a changing robe so it could be warn both in the summer and in the winter and it would adjust to the temperature around it and to Lillian needs. The other one was also a changing robe when it came to temperature and was a soft blue color with golden marking much like the other one. Lillian placed the robes with the other items and moved over to Professor Dumbledore and gave him a soft hug.

"Thank you sir, the gifts are amazing," said Lillian.

"You are more then welcome Lillian," said Professor Dumbledore lightly returning the hug.

Almost every staff member knew Professor Dumbledore and Lillian had a bond that was a grandfather/granddaughter bond. They even knew that Lillian used to called Dumbledore Gampy Albe when she was younger and Dumbledore used to call Lillian, his special angel. However as Lillian knew older Dumbledore dropped the nickname and just called her Lillian, and until a couple years ago, Lillian called Professor Dumbledore, Albus.

Soon Lillian had finished her tea and bid Professor Dumbledore goodbye until dinner and headed down to her father living quarters. Lillian enter and saw her father working on grading some papers.

"Good afternoon father," said Lillian.

"Where were you all this time Lillian," said Severus not looking up from the paper in front of him.

"I was in the tower just thinking in silent but then Professor Dumbledore invited me up to his office for a cup of tea and he gave me my birthday present from him since he wouldn't be able to on the 12th."

"Really?" asked Severus glancing up and also stopping from marketing. "What did he get you?"

"I'll show you sir," said Lillian as she brought the gifts forward and slows them to her father.

"I should have known Albus would give you gifts like these," said Severus looking each one over. "They are very well though out gifts."

"Yes they are. Father I was wondering if you could send in a order for me?"

"What for?"

"For a book and a package of owl treats, I ran out a few days ago."

"What book is it?"

"Understanding Runes and their Ancient Charms."

"How much does it cost?"

"It comes to a total of 65 dollars but I have the money here if you would like it."

"No don't worry about it. I'll pay for it. I told you Lillian when it is something useful that is bond to improve your life or learning abilities that it is me who will pay for it. I'll send the order tonight and tell it to arrive at our house."

"Thank you sir, I'm going to go finish my history of magic essay. I'll see you in a bit," said Lillian taking her presents and heading to her room.

A/N: Well there you go. A long chapter to begin with. I'll add more as I can.
