Chapter 1

Anastasia was stunned; she couldn't believe what her grandmother was saying.

"I'm sorry what did you say?" she asked just to make sure her ears were working properly.

"I think that it would be a good idea if you stayed here for Christmas and summer. You haven't spent the holidays with us in a long time." The elderly woman said.

Christmas, summer? Anastasia thought, why is she talking about that? It's only September. "Wh-why do you think that Grandma?" she asked.

"I just don't want you to go back, that man doesn't deserve a child like you and I have no idea what your mother was thinking leaving you with him."

"Maybe she was thinking that it would be good for me to know my father. Grandmother he actually takes care of me whereas you and mom both just hired a nanny. Leaving me with dad is the best thing that mom ever did for me." Anastasia explained, however her grandmother wouldn't see things her way.

Finally Anastasia lost her temper for the first time in years, and every glass object in the room shattered.

"I'm sorry!" Anastasia apologized immediately fixing it with a wave of her hand.

"Anastasia Arya Snape! What did I tell you about that?"

"After the first time you said that you would never want to see me again. This that just happened was my second chance and now I'm going to pack and go home."

"That's right, you did almost the samething the first time you came here. I told you, you would have one more chance and if it happened again you would have to leave."

Anastasia sighed wondering why her grandmother insisted on repeating what she had just said.

"Since I'm leaving I might as well as tell you, the nanny you hired for me was a witch she would smuggle books for me and I learned magic anyway." Anastasia said getting up to pack and leave.

As Anastasia got ready to leave her mind went back to a day eight years ago when she first met her father.

She was eight years old and her mother had just died. For some reason though Anastasia couldn't feel bad she thought it had something to do with the fact she didn't really know her mother. All her life she had nannies to take care of her.

However there she was in her mother's lawyer's office where they were gathered to read her mother's will. Anastasia was anxious to get it over with since she thought she would be going with her grandparents and knew that they would just hire another nanny for her. But Grandpa kept saying that they were waiting for her father.

Finally a tall man with long black hair and black eyes entered the room. The man's eyes didn't show any emotion and he didn't look too happy to be there. It was then that they finally started.

Anastasia didn't pay much attention to the first part since it was merely what happened to her mother's money. Then she heard, "And concerning my daughter, Anastasia Snape, she is to go to her father Severus Snape."

It was that one sentence she had been waiting for and so she tuned out once more. Anastasia looked over at the man next to her, and she knew that the stone cold look on his face wasn't his; it was a mask the she had to break. And by the end of the day Anastasia had succeeded Severus had played softball with the little girl and read a story to her, then at bedtime he sang her to sleep.

Anastasia came out of her memory and saw she was done packing.

"I'm leaving now Grandmother." Anastasia said coming down the stairs.

"Fine. I don't want you to come back until you manage to get the devil out of you." The old woman said.

Anastasia nodded understanding how her Grandmother could do this. Anastasia's family on her mother's side has always been devout Catholics and now they had a witch in the family, it was amazing that her Grandmother even allowed her to enter the house. Anastasia then disapperated with a pop and was gone.

A/N: Okay I realize that it's not very good but i promise that the next chapter will be better
