Chapter 1; Fleeing

It was a beautiful snowy day, in the middle of the winter. A young woman, as beautiful as the surroundings in the snow, was running for her life. 'Come back!' a man with a mask shouted, but the woman kept running trough the woods. The baby in her arms slowly waked up, and looked up to her mother with her big blue eyes. The mother looked at her daughter, with tears in her eyes she whispered; 'Shhhh, it's gonna be alright angel….'

It became silent as the young mother arrived at Spinner's End. Her small footsteps were the only thing you could hear in the old, dark streets. Only if she found his house in time, her daughter would be safe…. Looking around her, her daughter snuggeled into her mothers chest, falling in sleep again.

There it was, on the edge of the last street. The mother picked her little pannier, placed her sleeping daughter with the letter in it, covered it with some blankets and walked away in silence. She turned one time, looking at her daughter, then she disapparate. Her fault….

After a while, the little girl woke up, showing her bright blue eyes. Where was her mummy? She was scared, and alone. The girl started crying, waking up the man living in the house. He opened the door, showing his black hair and hooked nose. Severus Snape saw the letter on the pannier, opened it and started to read it. 'Rose, your daughter…' he mumbled. He shook his head, picking up the pannier with the little girl and walked inside, thinking about what he was doing. What was he doing? Addopting a little, nameless, newborn girl from a former friend of his.
