The Secret Daughter of the Half Blood Prince

by annabella520

Left with her father Severus Snape on the night of Lily and James Potter's death, Dawn Morgans lives the first eleven years of her life oblivious to the hatred towards her beloved Dad. When she arrives at Hogwarts, she finds that not everyone likes him, and ends up keeping the biggest secret of her life as her father slowly drifts further and further away from her. OC ?

1. Prologue

I would like to dedicate this story to the amazing and wonderful Alan Rickman who left us today. This is for you, Always.

It was obvious to anyone that spent time with him that Severus Snape had loved Lily since the day he met her. That fact would never change. Yet, in his heart, he had always known she would not return that love in any way more than the purest of friendship. So, of course, Severus had tried his best not to end up lonely and miserable. In the end he wasn't, but not in the way he expected. Instead of a wife, he gained a daughter.

Severus had three relationships in his life. The first was Samantha Milligan, a fellow Slytherin in his Monday potions class in 6th year. The second was a young Narcissa Malfoy, believe it or not, for a year after leaving Hogwarts.

The final was a fling, full of lust and nothing more. A welsh girl called Delilah Morgans. She was home-schooled, adventurous and free. Neither of them had love for the other, but each needed comfort when they met. Much like Harry would appear at the Dursleys, on the same night Delilah turned up to Severus' door, begging him to take the child. Her family had not taken well to the baby girl, and would force it into a home should he refuse her.

Already, he had lost Lily, and had realised the bad of his ways with Voldemort. Caught at a moment of weakness, he took his child. While he could often be cold and distant, he loved her very much. Dawn grew to be much like her mother, chaotic and wild. Her brown hair was short and pixie-like, her nose pointed. She had the skinny build of her father, gangly and a little too tall for her age of eleven. Dawn went to Hogwarts full of hope and excitement. What she got didn't quite meet her expectations.
