Severus makes a mistake and ends up with a daughter. Will his daughter be able to change his perceptive? Meanwhile, Sirius makes a mistake himself, though he had yet to know. SS/OC, SB/OC, RL/NT.
I made a very small prologue.

Love: The most powerful magic.
The Dark Lord would laugh at it, Severus knew. He, Severus Snape, used to laugh at it. Now he knew. He knew he had been wrong, because love was the most powerful magic. If only he had realised it sooner.
There had been a girl, a lifetime ago (or so it seemed to Severus), she had red hair and green eyes. The world would simply stop when she smiled. Severus had not known then that love was the most powerful thing of all. That had been his biggest mistake, although he made quite a few.
Once the realisation, Severus had made it his priority to make sure she would live. That did not prove to be easy. He still remembered the word he had said when Albus Dumbledore had asked what he would give in return for her protection.
Anything.
It had seemed simple. What wouldn't he give to protect Lily Evans? It had proved to be very difficult indeed. The hardest thing was to lie to the Dark Lord's face. Nobody does it; he simply knew when he was being lied to. Severus, however, was perhaps one of the cleverest Death Eater. He knew how to lie convincingly. And, he did. He became a Hogwarts Professor shortly after Lily's son, Harry Potter, was born.
In October of that year, Severus was found in the Hog's Head drinking his problems away and that is when he met Jennifer Wright. Jen was small in every way. She had long brown hair. She wasn't the type to turn head or the type to make you throw up. She was the type that danced on the line between ugly and pretty without really falling over any side of that line. She was a year younger then Severus. Jen was interested in Dark Arts, which is what lead the conversation. She wasn't active with the art itself, she simply found it fascinating. She wasn't the brightest, but she wasn't stupid. She wasn't the quietest, but she wasn't loud.
It was such a surprise when Jen showed interest in Severus (Or perhaps it was the alcohol) that he was taken aback. Girls like her never even acknowledge that he existed (except Lily, who was now in the arms of a man Severus hated beyond all.) The mix of the alcohol, the thought of Lily in James Potter's arm and the smell of Jen's not too exaggerated perfume lead Severus to her (Jen's) house that night.
It wasn't a waste of a night and Severus (though he'd never admitted it) rather enjoyed it.
The next time he heard of Jen was by owl two months later. She claimed to be pregnant. Severus ignored the letter.
The next time he saw Jen was two weeks after Lily's death. He heard a knock on his bedroom door at Hogwarts and in came Jen, Dumbledore and a little four months old girl. Even Severus's once cold heart couldn't resist melting as he held the baby girl in his arms. Jen had nowhere to go and Severus had agree to let her live in his house at Spinner's End. Since they weren't married, the girl had taken her mother's surname. Jen had decided to call her Hayley Wright.
Severus made regular visit to his house at Spinner's End during the school year and lived with them during the summer. Jen and Severus became very good friends and it was only on occasion (when alcohol was involved) that they shared a bed. Besides Dumbledore, Jen was the only one whom Severus had told about his love for the green eyes, red haired girl. Jen had, in return, told Severus about her once-in-a-lifetime love who had broken her heart after four years of being together to go out with some slutty little girl.
Meanwhile, Jen had a sister, Erica Williams, who was married to a man called Travis Williams. Erica had married him straight after graduation as Travis was five years older than she was. Erica had a baby boy not long after she got married.
Erica had an affair with Sirius Black for about a year. When things got crazy at home she would go to a bar where Sirius would always be on weekends.
Erica's baby boy died unexpectedly one day and the cause of his death was never found.
Erica became pregnant again in the summer of 1980 (the same one Harry was born) and decided it was time to take care of her family. She stopped her affair. A baby girl was born in March by the name of Jessica Williams.
Next November, Sirius Black was brought to Azkaban and Travis was found dead. His death remains a mystery.
Jessica became a single mom.
I was thinking about starting chapter 1 when Hayley and Jessica would start Hogwarts (which would mean the Chamber of Secrets when referring to the books.)
Tell me if you think this is a good idea!
