Yeah, I unfortunately did not write Harry Potter, so all characters belong to J.K. Rowling with the exception of Anna Snape.

1980, 11 months before birth of Harry Potter

Severus Snape

If someone had asked me seven years ago where I would be at age 25, I would probably tell them I'd expect to be dead. It never would have crossed my mind however that I'd be holding a baby girl, and if Merlin forbid, it did, I would never have thought that she'd be mine. Albus had come and gone that evening, setting up a meeting for the Order, and being the insolent man he was, offering me a lemon drop as well. When I'd finally been able to extract his presence from my home, it was well past 11 PM and seeing as the meeting would be held at 9 AM, I has no idea how he thought he was going to fit that into everyone's schedule. I was planning to stabilise the potion he had interrupted, but a knock on the door suggested otherwise. After debating whether or not I should answer, I finally swung the door open, ready to damn the person stupid enough to be on the other side. Imagine my surprise to find Lily standing there eyes wide. "Here, take her, she's yours Sev." She shoved a bundle in my hands and apperated on the spot. I didn't have to unwrap the blanket to guess what had been forced upon me. A baby. Lily could have just sent her to the orphanage, like any other witch in a similar predicament, but no. There was no question that she was mine, as it was blatantly obvious when I'd curiously examined the girl's face. She had black hair, and a pale face like mine, but fortunately for her, she didn't have my hooked nose. Instead, she had Lily's long thin nose, and her vibrant green eyes. After I had stared at her for a good 5 minutes, I realised that she could not stay. She had to be gone before 9 tomorrow, or the Order would get involved, and knowing Molly Weasley, the girl was not being taken from my care if she had anything to say about it.
