UNICORN RIDER

"Uncle "Nape! Uncle 'Nape!" a small red haired girl said, running to her uncle.

Severus Snape was not Gemma's real uncle, but Gemma didn't know that. She launched herself into his arms.

"Uncle 'Nape, Gemma wanna go to Hoggywart," she said.

Gemma was only three years old, but she wanted to go to 'Hoggywart' so bad. Gemma was the other Potter child, Harry's older sister to be exact. Harry and Gemma were separated because Dumbledore wanted to protect both of them but knew that they couldn't know each other.

"I'm sorry, Gem, you can't go yet. You have to wait a little longer." he said.

"Much longer?" she said, her purplish eyes sparkling.

"Not much longer," Snape promised.

"We go see Dumbleydore?"

"No, not today," Narcissa said.

Gemma pouted, "Gemma wanna see Dumbleydore."

"No, Gemma. Tomorrow if Uncle Snape doesn't mind watching you while Draco has to go to the doctor," Narcissa asked.

"Not at all. I've got to be at school tomorrow anyway," he replied.

"Gemma wanna spend the night with Uncle 'Nape," Gemma said.

"Only if your father says so."

"Daddy not Gemma real daddy, Gemma real Daddy died with Gemma real Mommy," she stated with a smile.

Narcissa scowled, while Snape laughed.

"She is very bright," Snape said.

"Go see what your father says."

*tHe NeXt DaY*

Snape led Gemma up to Professor Dumbledore's office, before he could knock Gemma pushed the door open, shouting, "Dumbleydore, Dumbleydore!"

"Gemma, my dear, what are you doing here?" the surprised Headmaster said.

"Came with Uncle 'Nape," she replied.

Snape looked helplessly at the Headmaster, who merely smiled.

Ten minutes later, the escaped three year old ran down the hall, her laughter echoing off the walls. Ghosts smiled after the child, glad to hear laughter in the halls.
