Spinner's End
"Severus?" 7 year old Gypsy knocked on the bedroom door and called through the wooden barrier to her elder brother, "Do you wanna build a
snowman?" she asked. "let's go out side and play!" she demanded eagerly. Since Severus had come home from his second year in Hogwarts
he had been spending more and more time shut up in his room, only coming down for meals. Gypsy sat patiently on the dirty dusty floor
boards, and day dreamed about before her older brother left them to go to school, they would leave the house at daybreak and not
comeback until nightfall, mostly to avoid their father, and because Severus liked to hang out with Lily Evans. Gypsy would watch them
practice magic, but not any more. "Sev?" she whined "Do you wanna build a snowman?" she asked and pressed her lips to the brass key
hole, "It doesn't have to be a snow man." she reasoned.
"Go Away Gypsy" Severus called out, followed by a loud blast signalling a back fireing potion. "Okay bye" she sighed in defeat, pulling on her
thin wool coat, holey gloves and oversized boots, and waddled out into the thick wet slush snow, blissfully unaware that her elder brother
watched her play through his frost covered window.
Two years later
Gypsy wrapped her thick Slytherin scarf around her neck and stumbled up the stairs to the boy's dormitory, "Severus?" she asked, knowing
he would be alone, probably reading, most of the other boys in slytherin went home for the winter holidays, but the siblings stayed at
Hogwarts. "Do you wanna build a snowman?" she asked excitedly Or take a walk around the Pitch?" she offered. on the other side Severus
rolled his eyes at his baby sister's childish antics, "Not now, Gyps, maybe later" he waved her off and returned to the dark arts book leaning
against the wall. Gypsy sighed and trotted down the stairs, disheartened. she plopped down onto one of the leather couches by the
crackling fire place. Never very good at making friends, since both Severus and Gypsy were often scorned in their own house for being
Half-bloods and shunned by the rest of the school for being Slytherin, Severus was Gypsy's only companion, well him and the moving
portraits that she had firmed a habit of conversing with.
she clicked her tongue in time with the grandfather clock that graced the common room.
One year Later
Severus sat on the bed staring at his freshly scarred forearm, earlier that day Gypsy hugged him and saw it, horrified she ran off, and while
Severus hid in hos room, Lucius and Greyback tracked her down in the castle to try and explain the new situation, only after Severus
promised not to harm her. "Severus?" Gypsy asked, not sounding like her usual bubbley self, "Please, I know you're in there." she looked
around, "the teachers are asking where you've been." all day she had been excusing her brother from classes saying he had come down with
something. "Lucius said to be brave, and I'm trying to be." she leaned against the door and heard faint shuffleing on the other side,
"P-Please let me in" she begged sliding down to her knees and turned her back to the door, "it's just you and me now," she stated hoplessly,
tears sliding down her red cheeks, "What are we gonna do?" she sniffed and wiped her eyes.
"D-do you wanna build a snow man?" she asked childishly
Behind her the door squeaked open and she whipped around, and clamped her arms around her big brother's neck, "I'm so sorry" he
whispered, "It's okay, they explained everything to me. Lucius and Ferir I mean" she smiled behind his shoulder, "Hey?" he whispered, "Huh?"
she asked back, "Lets go build that snowman."
