It was so weird 30 minutes ago I got this idea in my head for a story I just had to write it, no flames please I need a Beta reader I know but I don't have one and I'm sorry alright? Just read already
Ch. 1 The world is turned upside down
Severus Snape was never a very patient person, when it came down to it he had no patience at all. But here he was sitting in Dumbldore's office listening to the old fool ramble on.
"Albus just get to the point please, I have other uses for my time as you may be aware of." He sat in the chair uncomfortably and proceeded to stand.
"There has been an attack," Severus regarded him under heavy lids as he sat back down. "Two people were killed, one remains."
Severus pinched the bridge of his nose as he began to speak. "Which family, and what do I have to do with all of this?"
"Ahhh dear Severus, you know one of the deceased very well, Rowan Star." With these words said Severus sprang from his seat, his mind hazed by a temporary fog. It took the Headmaster several attempts to pull him back into reality. "Her husband was also killed, I believe his name was Demetrius Regall. Indeed a muggle," Dumbldore cut himself off to take note of his Potions Masters face.
Severus was expressionless, his obsidian eyes blocking any emotion from showing, his poise never flinching. He turned to the Headmaster "What do I have to do with all of this again?"
Dumbldore sighed "They had a child, well she is no longer a child, but she is alive and her parents are gone, she has no where else to go and before her mother died, I was sent an owl, asking me to look out for her until she can fend for herself."
He looked at Severus over his half moon spectacles "You my dear Potions Master will be the one to go get her."
His face turned to one of that of a eight year old child "I have better things to do with my time, why me?"
"Because you are the only one that can protect her, you protected her mother, and I think that if her mother could trust you so could she." He leaned back in his chair.
" Her mother was a powerful witch why didn't her daughter come to Hogwarts then, how old is she anyway?" He folded his arms and looked at Dumbldore expectantly.
"She is 16, almost 17, she knows our ways, but was forbidden to use them, she is not a muggle but she is not a witch either. Her mother thought it would be best for her if-"
"Damn woman" Snape snarled
"Severus, you do not even know why my dear boy, but we can continue this later for now can you please go and fetch the young lady, I doubt she even knows her parents are gone, they left for a second honeymoon apparently and left her to fend for herself for a week."
Snape massaged his temples "Alright I will go, do not expect me to be finicky and comforting, it's not exactly what I do best."
Snape made way to leave before Dumbldore called out "Her name is Melanie if you cared to know." He chucked to himself as he watched Severus leave, yes maybe this wouldn't be such a bad thing after all. ___________________________________________________________________
Melanie had just gotten out of the shower, she was glad her parents were gone; she damn well needed a break from them. She pulled on jeans and a black tank top. She applied her usual make-up and outlined her sparkling green eyes in black eyeliner.
She blow-dried her long blond hair and sighed as she looked in the mirror. "If only I could be normal." She glided down the stairs and into the kitchen.
Outside Snape apparated in front of her two story gray stone house, "Not bad" he muttered as he trudged up to the door with a solemn expression on his face. He knocked once and only once.
Melanie heard the noise and sauntered to the door to see could possibly be disturbing her peace, "God damn UPS people never know when to just go away,"
She opened the door to find a man clad in all black, with lank black hair and dark eyes looking at her. "May I help you?" she asked with annoyance in her voice
"Is your name Melanie Regal," The unknown man asked her
"Yes, and you are?" she asked now a bit on the frightened side
"My name is of no importance but if you must know it is Severus Snape, I was sent here by Albus Dumbldore the Headmaster of Hogwarts." His face never changed
"Alright so may I ask why are you at my house?" She sensed something happened her bottom lip quivered in fear, Snape noticed this.
'She's a splitting image of her mother' he could help but think to himself. "I am here to take you to Hogwarts, Miss. Regal, the Headmaster shall explain it to you when you arrive."
She regarded him as if he were mad "Why? This is my home my parents are coming home tomorrow how could I possibly leave?"
"Your parents are dead, now I suggest that you gather anything you may want" He regarded her with cold dead eyes.
"My parents are dead?" Her mind could not comprehend this; her eyes grew bigger and glossier as if she were on the verge of tears. She shook her head blinking back the tears, 'it's a lie, it has to be, be strong, be strong just do what he says and then everything will be fine.'
He handed her an empty box "Use this its charmed so that all of your belongings will fit inside and it will not weight any more or any less, if you need me I will be here waiting. Now go"
She took the box and stayed silent, she went to her parent's room first. She took all of her mom's jewelry and the money that was secretly put away; she also grabbed her mother's favorite sweater. She took her fathers pocket watch and knife she collected pictures as she continued on her way.
She headed up to her room, her mind blank, she grabbed books, clothes, he stuffed lion, all her jewelry, her CD player and CD's, more books, shoes, more pictures her pillow and her comforter. She then headed to her bathroom to grab things she would need, by the time she left that room it was nearly empty.
She collapsed just before she was about to hit the stairs one step more and she would of ended at the bottom with a broken bone or two.
Severus saw this and rushed to her aid she let the tears fall freely now. He picked her up and cradled her in his arms; he carried her down the stairs and set her in a chair. "You have to be strong, we will be leaving soon, is there anything else you may need?"
Just as he was backing up a large cat rounded the corner and let out a soft mew. "I see you have a framiler" the cat happily trotted over to the all black man and rubbed up against his legs, "Lovely just what I need a coat of fur on my robes" The cat ducked underneath his robed and popped out from the other side.
The girl made her way to the kitchen to retrieve the cat's food and bowls; she set them into the box and wiped her face with her arm. The cat was happily playing with the mans robe, Severus tried to move away but the damn cat followed him "Blasted cat"
The girl spoke up for the first time since the realization hit her "His name is Trips, and you should be flattered he actually likes you."
He was about to scowl at her when he saw her and his face softened "Are you almost ready?"
She grabbed her jacket and scooped up the lump of fur that was her cat and nodded. Box in hand he lead her outside. "Now we have to apparate are you familiar with these ways of travel?"
She nodded her head in agreement she went with her mother many times to Diagon Alley. "Hold on to that thing" he mentioned to her cat "and hold on to me" he put his free arm around her waist and apparated.
