Harry Potter looked at the ground around him.
''Something inconspicuous.'' his green eyes darted around as he spoke
quietly to himself. His black hair was a mess as usual, his clothes all
disheveled. He didn't seem to care though, he was looking at the ground in
his Aunt and Uncle's backyard at Number 4 Privet Drive. He yanked at the
trunk he was pulling behind him, the owl cage on top faltering a little.
His eyes flashed as he spotted what appeared to be a piece of old
newspaper. ''Here goes.'' he muttered and held onto the trunk as he leaned
down and touched it. He closed his eyes and felt the familiar feeling of
traveling through the Portkey. The last time he had used one of those, he
had been transported to a third encounter with Lord Voldermort. Now he was
using it to get onto the grounds at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and
Wizardry a month and a half early. He had only spent a month with the
Dursley's and he was happy that that was all he had to spend there.
'' 'Ello, 'Arry.'' Harry opened his eyes and saw a large burly man.
''Hello Hagrid.'' He smiled up at the half giant.
''Lemme take yer bags to yer chambers. Yer got yer own now.'' Hagrid
smiled at him. His eyes betrayed his features, showing his kindness.
''Why did Dumbledore want me back so early?''
''Yer safer here, than with those Muggles. Plus he thinks that Snapes
'aughter needs company.'' He paused for a few seconds. ''I shoulnd've said
that.'' He looked down at Harry. He was almost fifteen, and seemed so much
more grown up than when he had just arrived at Hogwarts. He had grown a lot
over the last month. Must have been almost six foot.
''Snape has a daughter?'' Harry's green eyes widened with shock.
Professor Snape was the last person he suspected on the Hogwarts' staff to
have children.
''She's bout yer age. Fifteen, she is. And ter tell yer the truth -
she don't look nothing like 'er father.'' Hagrid whispered to Harry with a
smile. The two had walked to the gates of Hogwarts, and there stood a girl
about 5'6'' with long black hair and pale purple eyes with her arms crossed
over her chest.
''Hagrid, he took it away. Again. He doesn't understand, I'm gonna go
nuts as it is. I need music.''
'' 'Arry, meet Allison. Yer gonna be spendin' most of yer time with
'er.'' Hagrid smiled as Harry gaped at the girl.
''Hey.'' She smiled, revealing her perfect white teeth.
''Hi.'' Harry suddenly felt shy around her. She was beautiful. Then
he snapped back to reality. SHE was Snape's daughter. Harry looked up for
Hagrid, but found that the man was already at the castle, putting Harry's
trunk on a cart for the house elves to put away.
''So you go here?'' her accent was different from what Harry was used
to hearing.
''Yeah.''
''Cool. I'm used to boarding school. something about my father having
other business and my mother wanting nothing to do with me seeing as how
she had another family of her own.'' the girl snorted. '' Then my father
comes and gets me, scares away everybody, takes me away from my friends,
and makes me come here. Something about my step father being a Death Monger
or whatever and him being an ex one of something. I don't know the whole
story. And now the son of a bitch takes away my music. the one thing that
keeps me somewhat sane.'' she smiled and laughed musically at Harry.
''Excuse my babbling. What's your story?''
''Well those Death 'Monger's as you called them are after me.'' He
let out a small laugh. ''It's a long story.''
''I have the time. Especially since my dad took away my cd player.
Loser.'' She grumbled and Harry laughed.
''Well, those guys' that are after me serve a dark wizard, Lord
Voldermort. He killed my parents, but failed to kill me when I was a year
old. My first year, he tried to get the Sorcerer's Stone to restore him to
power, but once again failed because of me. Then in my third year, my
godfather escaped from Azkaban, it's a wizard prison, to get the guy that
had put him there, Peter Pettigrew. Unfortunately his record wasn't cleared
and I was still forced to live with my awful Muggle aunt and uncle who I
had been living with since my parents died. Last year, Peter Pettigrew, or
Wormtail, as he's called, helped Voldermort come back to power and I had to
fight him again, but now he's after me, because he's returned to full
strength. The Death Eaters, the guys your father told you about, well they
work for him and are trying to kill me. Basically the safest place to be is
at Hogwarts. And I always wanted to spent the summer here anyway.''
''How can you deal? No tv, no music, no video games. The senary is
nice granted, but I have a short attention span. I need something
stimulating.''
''The library's nice.'' Harry laughed and she rolled her eyes.
''You're nuts you do know that, right?'' she laughed. ''But I think
you're cool so I won't bother you. But now it is time I went and bothered
my father. He hasn't gotten enough hugs in his lifespan. Weirdo.'' She
giggled and beckoned for Harry to follow her. ''Unless you wanna watch
house elves, is uggest you come with me. I know how to entertain around
here.'' She smiled and let out a small laugh. Harry grinned back at the
girl.
''Your father hates me.''
''I think he hates me too. I've never seen anyone squirm so much when
you try to give them a hug. But whatever, let's GO!!!'' she screamed at
what seemed to be the top of her lungs and took off running. He looked at
her attire and began to wonder how she could run in it. For one it was
swealtering hot and she was in black and red pinstriped pants, a black tank
top that had a weird skull shape on it, and apparently black combat boots.
Harry ran after her and cought up in no time.
''What's with your shirt? The skull thing I mean.''
''Good Charlotte symbol. At least it's the new one. The guys gave it
to me. I went to school with Paul's little sister.'' She smiled. ''Paul is
the bassist in the band by the way.'' She laughed and they entered the
castle. Almost immediately they ran into Professor Snape.
''Hello sir.'' Harry smiled at him.
''DADDY!!!!!!'' Allison yelled shrilly and jumped on the man, giving
him a hug. Harry tried not to laugh.
''ALLISON BRITANIA SNAPE! STOP THIS RIGHT THIS INSTANT!'' Professor
Snape yelled, causing Allison to jump off him quickly. She whimpered
slightly, Harry's face straightening.
''You.you don't love me anymore..'' She looked up at him with puppy
dog eyes, her chin trembling. He sighed and dug into his pockets of his
pants under his robes. He pulled out about ten galleons and handed them to
her.
''Here you and Mr. Potter and a chaperone go into Hogsmeade. And not
Hagrid again. Somebody who won't get drunk on you.'' He glared at Harry.
''Aww, Daddy, why do we need a chaperone? It's not like Harry and I
are gonna go and rape each other, right?'' She giggled slightly and looked
at Harry, his mouth open in shock. Snape glared at him even more.
''Both of you are in danger. I figured you'd understand that. Take a
chaperone.'' He hissed his eyes shooting daggers at Harry. She shrugged.
''Fiiiiinnnnneeeeee.'' She grumbled and grabbed Harry by the wrist
and began pulling him along. ''Bye Daddy, I love you!!!!'' she shouted over
her shoulder.
''You think I'm nuts? He hates me even more now.''
''Aww, Daddy's bark is worse than his bite. My cats are meaner than
him and well. Eric thinks he's a baby, and Danny's fat and lazy.'' She
laughed. ''Now who would be a chaperone that wouldn't annoy me, but could
still count as somebody other than us?''
''I have the perfect idea.'' Harry grinned and began leading her.
