Severus Snape was shocked to say the least. Apparently his father had re-married after his mothers death and had a daughter. Who was now 4. Her mother having died giving birth to her and their father having not long passed to the great beyond where he belonged. Now severus was stuck with the girl as no one else would take her. She had no living family except him and the only people who lived anywhere near the shack she had lived in were a group of government agents. The same ones who had called her to his attention.
Now he was stood in the manor in wales discussing the girls placement.
"Mr Snape we would be happy to look after Styx for you. That is if you wish us to" The one in the riduculous coat said.
"I would of course take her off your hands during the yule and summer breaks"
"If that is what you wish professer" One of his ex-students said.
"Would it be agreeable for me to pay you for your services mr jones? mr harkness?"
"No. No need. If anything we should be paying you for letting us look after a darling girl" Harkness said.
"Ok. Would it also be ok for me to spend sundays with her for a while so we can familrise with each other?"
"Of course. We are linked to the floo network due to Ianto's family and i am sure Ianto can key your magical signiture into those ward thingys."Harkness says grinning
"Thank you Mr. Harkness. Mr. Jones"
"Please it's jack and Ianto"
"Severus"
"So shall we start this sunday then severus?"
