Hello ppl! So, after much consideration I decided to re-write sthis story due to some issues I saw when re-reading, I'll be posting the first 5 or 6 chapters today and tomorrow I'll be done with my corrections and hopefully finished with chapter 11. I do hope you enjoy this.
The name of the story remains the same all that is changed is my pen name (used to be GossipGirlArgentina)
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING OF THE HARRY POTTER UNIVERSE. WOULD I BE SITTING HERE IF I DID?
I really want to beat you up.
"That was a good chance for you Snape" Remus said softly
"What are you talking about?" Severus spatted
"Teaching her potions, you could connect with her, maybe it would help you to get around to telling her she's yours" He pointed out. "That is in the case you wish to connect with her after all"
"I haven't got the time to spare into teaching a girl the art of potions making" In that moment Sirius made a mocking face that did not go unaware and earned him a small slap on the back of his neck by Ms. Weasley. He looked at her astonished.
"She isn't just any ordinary student" Dumbledore was playing with his hands as he spoke "like it or not Severus, she is yours" Snape opened his mouth but was cut out "She deserves to know the truth, she'll want to know, and I have said this to you already, I do believe you would make an excellent father" This comment earned Albus astonished faces all around the table. Sirius who remained in the frame of the doorway leaned back against the wall and cracked up
"Snape, a good father? Come on Professor, the old bat couldn't take care of cactus plant for a single night, not even if his sorry ass depended on it" Snape looked right at him. Was this some sort of defense?
"Come on, the guy cannot relate to children, can't even be nice to them, the poor girl would be running for the door at the first sight of his crappy attempt of cooking."
"Thanks, Sirius but this is none of your…" Cut off again, as if his opinion in the matter did not count.
"Yeah, he'd probably have the poor kid locked up in a dungeon whenever she couldn't get a potion right" Moody laughed
"Chained to her bed when he found out she was dating somebody" Added Sirius. "Or stop talking to her if she ever got sorted into Hufflepuff"
"Oh! God forbid Gryffindor"
"Well if you ask me she's got a lot of lion material in her".
That was it. He snapped and it all happened in a split second. Sirius saw him walking straight towards himself and saw it coming. Dumbledore got up from his chair as to try and stop him and Moody took out his wand. But then nothing happened, Snape walked right past him and headed for the door.
"That worked very well Sirius"
"I have no idea what you're talking 'bout Professor" Albus gave him his very well-known Headmaster look and then turned his eyes towards Alastor
"Yeah, watcha talkin' 'bout Albus, we were just havin' fun with the snake"
He couldn't hear their talking, anymore, their mockery, it was too annoying, having Sirius laugh at him, or the werewolf trying to give him directions. As if he hadn't anything better to do.
******Flashback*******
"Severus, I have found the girl, she's right here in London"
"What girl are you talking about?"
"Briseida's kid, she's fourteen, you remember her I'm sure"
"What is it to me? She married Armand Dupond and they moved to South America when the Dark Lord fell"
"Yes, he ran, as the coward that he is, but I have learned that Briseida passed away a few months ago, in uncertain circumstances"
"I see where you're going with this, but it is not possible"
"I made a deal with them both, the night they left, Dupond promised me he would never return to London, nor contact any Death Eater, but I have reasons to believe he's going to go back to his old ways"
"How does this concern me at all?"
"I told him that if he ever broke the promise I would take the girl away, I have rights, being her great grandfather"
"Still not seeing the point Albus, you wish me to retrieve the girl or…?"
"No I shall do that myself"
"Then?"
"Well, you are aware that she might…"
"I already said it is not possible"
"Still, I wanted you to know that tomorrow night when you arrive for our meeting in Grimmauld Place she will be there, so you can be prepare"
"I have nothing to prepare myself for, rather than meeting the new addition to the already overwhelming pain in my behind that are the children of this school"
"If you dislike children so much Severus, why did you stayed at Hogwarts all these years?"
"Because I would rather this than have some idiot of your liking such as Lupin teach Potions"
"But he already has taught here"
"Ha! Yes the subject you have refused me all this years"
"If you became the DADA teacher, who would teach our young minds the art of potion making?"
"Touché" The Headmaster smiled, mostly to himself.
"Never easy, winning an argument with you, but it is rather satisfying, much like finding a bugger tasting bean and not eating it"
And with that the old man dissaparated from Spinner's End.
Had he just been compared to a bugger? That man…
*****End of Flashback*****
He turned on his heels, and walked right back, thinking of what had happened during the course of dinner. Granger had offered to help the girl with Charms, Lupin with Defense Against The Dark Arts, and by all that is sacred Black was going to help her with Transfiguration, all so the girl, who had up to this point taught herself magic using her mother's old books could start at Hogwarts at the end of that summer. He had so many things to do, the meetings with Voldemort were becoming regular as he grew stronger, and the Order work was increasing as well, and he had to prepare the classes for the school, make the monthly wolfsbane potion for Lupin, and now to top it all he was going to teach a girl, surely annoying as all of they are, Potions, in his little and very precious free time. But there was a point, proving that egotistic arse that was Sirius Black, even if he too agreed with the fact that he hadn't the first clue of how to treat a girl in such particular conditions.
They heard the door been opened and footsteps through the hall.
"It's Snape" said Lupin, his face staring at the hallway.
"Back to take a swing at Sirius are ya?" Moody yelled but got no answer. Instead, the sound got lower and lower until they realized he had headed for the stairs.
Albus had mentioned she was in the top floor, so he climbed the stairs, two at a time, not wantint to give himself time to change his mind. He looked at the door, enchanted to write on the wood the name of the person that was using it. In very refined italics it read Alana Marie Dupond.His eyes squirted. Was it possible that the girl's name had something to do with…No, it was stupid to think about that, it was a meaningless one night stand with a woman who did not love him. Besides, the kid wasn't his, couldn't be. By Merlin's sake destiny couldn't crap all over him anymore, a teenage daughter is just what he did not need. In the middle of all the rambling in his head some noises came from the door beside the one he was standing in front of. Before any of the Weasley kids came out he knocked on the door and he heard a soft voice telling him to enter. He opened the door and stepped inside, to a room rather small with a large window, almost the size of the entire north wall. Beneath it, was a rosewood bed, covered with yellow covers, matching the fading color of the wall paper. The young girl sat in the middle of the bed, her legs tied up in meditating position, her long fingers going through an old book. She had long blonde curls that were picked up in a loose bun going down all the way to her waist. She was wearing hot green pajama pants and a white tank top. It seemed he had been staring at her for ages, seeing how much she looked like her mother. She closed the books and looked up at him. For the first time he realized that her eyes were pitch black, just like his, maybe…NO! he shutted the thought away, it couldn't be.
"You wanted to talk to me Professor?" She wipped her eyes, clearly she had been crying.
"Yes, well… um… I was wondering…" She just stared; he was making a fool of himself. "I thought that you would need potion classes before the start of the school year, to be, you know, in the same page as your classmates…"Not a word, she did not say a single word. "So I am willing to assist you, if you show the necessary application and study in the matter"
"That sound great professor, I would love that"
"OK then, I shall pick you up tomorrow, be ready at three o'clock"
"Yes sir" she smiled and he turned around. "Professor" He was almost at the door when she spoke "thank you" He just stepped out and left, he didn't know what to say, nor did he know what he was getting into.
He walked down the stairs slowly, trying to figure out why had he acted in such an impulse, now he was stuck.
"We thought you left Severus" He entered the kitchen where everybody was still talking and drinking a night cup.
"Do you plan on serving dinner tomorrow at the same time as today Molly?" She looked at him puzzled and then nodded.
"Very well, I shall pick up the girl for her lessons tomorrow at three pm and bring her back in time for supper" They turned to him, puzzled all of them, except for Dumbledore. He disregarded them and left without another word.
"I'll say it to you two again, well done"
"We have no idea what you are talking about Dumbledore" Moody stated and took another zip of his firewhisky.
"Yeah, we don't wanna help the old bat" Sirius turned on his hills, "good night everybody"
SO! SO FAR WITH CHAPTER ONE!
HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY IT AND REVIEW.
