Chapter One: Stopping a Train, Making Friends, and Forget is All in a Days Work for a Seer
Severus was in the middle of sleeping when, something or rather someone jumped on his stomach. He winced and groaned in pain. He didn't open his eyes as he took the pillow from underneath his head and smacked the offending person off. The lump rolled off to the side and giggled.
"Mommy!" The lump called and giggled again as the pillow swatted her. Severus smiled and stopped his attack. He opened his eyes, then sat up. His smile widen when he saw a little girl with blonde hair. She looked at him with bright gray eyes.
"Must you wake me up like that every morning Shyane?" Severus asked as he climbed out of bed. He crossed his arms, looking at her. She thought for a while, then smiled brightly.
"You won't wake up anywise." She told Severus.
"It's otherwise." Severus corrected her as he picked her up. "Do you want to eat breakfast first or get dressed?"
"Hm . . . " As she thought, her stomach growled.
"Guess your stomach answered for you." Severus teased as he walked out of his room, down the hall, and toward his kitchen.
"Yep!" She agreed happily. Severus chuckled.
"Feed me, pluese."
"What do you want to eat?" Severus asked as he sat her in her high chair.
"I want . . . " She started, then asked. "What are you eaten' Mommy?"
"Some eggs and a piece of toast."
"Me no likey! I want Capteen Crush!" She exclaimed. "That's my favrice."
"Captain Crunch© it is." Severus said as he warmed up the stove. As it warmed up, he got out two bowls: one for Shyane's cereal, one for Severus to mix the eggs in, a glass, and a plate. He opened the refrigerator and got out three eggs, milk, and cereal. He poured some cereal into a bowl, then added milk. He then got out a spoon and fork. He gave the spoon and bowl to Shyane, who immediately began to eat it.
Severus broke the eggs and scrambled them with the fork. He added some salt and pepper, then put a skillet on an isle of the stove. He poured the eggs into the skillet. While he let the eggs simmer for a while, he put a piece of bread in the toaster and set it for golden toast (don't know how toasters work). He then turned back to the stove and began to stir the eggs around.
The eggs got done at the same time the toaster popped. Severus turned the stove off and shuffled the eggs into the plate from the skillet, which he put into the sink. He took the toast out of the toaster and put in his plate. Last, but not least, he went the refrigerator and poured himself a glass of orange juice. He sat at the table and ate.
"I no like egg." Shyane told Severus.
"I know." Severus said, he paused while eating to warn her. "Don't spill milk everywhere."
"I know." She told Severus. She 'oops' as she spilled a little. "I sorry." Severus sighed.
"That's all right."
"Today is the day!" She told Severus excitedly. "We go to Hogswert!"
"Yes, we do."
"I done eaten!" Shyane told Severus and showed him an empty bowl. She wiggled, trying to get down from the high chair. Severus rolled his eyes and got up. He collected the dishes and put them in the sink. He used a cleaning spell on them and the table, where Shyane wasted half of her milk on. He then got her from her high chair.
"Time for-"
"Bath time." She shouted. Severus laughed.
"All right, now let's see . . . " Severus mumbled as he picked through Shyane's clothes. Meanwhile, Shyane got bored and decided to ditch her towel and play hide-and-seek with Severus. Severus chose black shorts with a yellow top. He got a black robe to go over them and her black tennis shoes. He turned around and only saw a towel. "Shyane!"
It took Severus half an hour to find and scold her. It took another half an hour to put her clothes on and fix her hair, which was in two high pony tails with a yellow ribbon tied in a bow around each.
He apparited them to the train station. Once there, they went to 9 3/4. Shyane was ecstatic to go there, so ecstatic that she ran back and forth until Severus scolded her. They quickly got on the plain and went into the last comparment in the train.
Shyane stood in the seat and peeked out the window. She gasped at all the people in robes she saw talking, walking, and getting on the train. She turned to Severus.
"Are all they goin' to Hogswert like us?" She asked curiously. Severus nodded his head. She turned back to the window. "Wow . . . "
Soon, the train was full and began to pull off, which jerked Shyane back against her seat. She sat down and looked at Severus, who was reading and planning his work schedule for his class.
"I boreded." She told Severus. Without looking up, he pulled out his wand with one hand and did a spell that brought her toys over to her. She began to play with them, well two in particular. A train and a doll.
"Wook out Misser train! A bad, scary man is going to come and-" She crashed the two together and made the train go selling through the air. It landed on Severus's head. "Boom! Bye byes train to Hogswert!" Severus frowned, knowing that she was a 'seer' and had just seen something.
"Shyane when will the train go bye bye?" Severus asked, trying not to sound panicky. He didn't want her to cry or any of the sort. She thought that her 'seeing' things were just her imagination.
"In a wittle while." She answered.
"Shyane, stay here." Severus said and quickly left the comparment to go to the head of the train and warn the conductor. After awhile, Shyane got bored and wanted to explore, but stayed because Severus told her to stay. She picked up the doll again and played with it. While playing, the train gave a jerk, which made her bump her head. She started crying, which drew attention to the compartment. The door slammed open, which stopped Shyane from crying. Harry, Hermione, and Ron peaked in. Shyane and them blinked at each other.
"Are you all right?" Hermione asked, coming out of her stupor. Shyane shook her head and sniffed. "Aw . . . "
Hermione rushed over to pick her up, however didn't because Shyane stepped away from her.
"Do want me to kiss and make it better?" She asked. Shyane frowned.
"Only Mummy does." Shyane told her.
"Well, where's your mommy?" Hermione asked.
"Talkin to someone." Shyane told her and looked at Ron and Harry, who by now had come into the compartment.
"She looks like a kind of like Malfoy, don't you think?" Ron asked as he studied her. She tilted her head slightly to the side. "Only a little cute girl."
"She does, doesn't she . . . " Harry said and walked closer to her. Shyane took another step back and watched them warily.
"What's your mommy's name?" Hermione asked.
"None of your damn business." Shyane told them. They gasped.
"Bloody hell." Ron said.
"You should not say such a bad." Hermione scolded. Shyane looked at her curiously.
"What word?"
"The 'd' word." Hermione informed her.
"I no say 'd word'. I say 'none of your damn business'." She pointed out to Hermione.
"What she means kid is not to say 'damn'." Ron told her bluntly. Hermione glared at Ron.
"Ronald!" She looked back at Shyane. "Anyway, don't say it ever again."
"You can't tell me what to do!" Shyane told Hermione. "Only Mummy can! And you no my mummy!"
"I'm sure your mother wouldn't want you saying that, Little one." Harry said as he knelt on one knee in front of her. Shyane looked at Harry, who smiled friendly at her and held out his hand (which held some candy in it). She glanced at it cautiously before stepping forward and picking one piece out of Harry's hand. She looked at Harry as she ate it.
"Yummy!" She exclaimed as took the rest from Harry and ate them. Harry laughed slightly. "I like you!"
"What about me?" Hermione asked. Shyane looked at her.
"Nope!" She answered then looked back at Harry. "Play with me!"
"I don't know . . . " Harry started, but saw the disappointment and loneliness in her eyes. "It wouldn't hurt, would your mummy get mad?"
"I no know." She told him. She picked up a toy and showed him. "This is my magincal dregan! It can breathe fire and stuff! Watch!"
She pressed his nose and the dragon breathed fire.
"Cool!" Ron and Harry exclaimed at the same time. Hermione rolled her eyes as Ron pushed her out the way to see the dragon.
"Does it do anything else?" Ron asked.
"Dregan float!" Shyane told the dragon, which started to flap its wing and float.
"Wow . . . !" Harry whispered.
"What are you four year olds?" Hermione asked.
"No, I three and half!" Shyane corrected her, then turned back to the dragon. "Fly a roundy round and come back."
"A roundy round?" Ron asked. The dragon took to the air, did a loop-ty-loop/?, and landed. "Cool! Tell it to fly and land on Hermione's head."
"Ron, I don't want that-" Hermione started, but Shyane interrupted her.
"Fly and land on Bushy Head!" She told the dragon. Hermione huffed at being called 'bushy head' and the dragon landing on her. "Get this blasted thing off, before I knock it off!"
"..." Shyane frowned at Hermione. "Dregan comes back to me for a nice hug!"
The dragon flew back to her and she hugged it. They heard a small noise and leaned in close.
"That thing is purring?" Harry questioned.
"He likes to make nice nice!" Shyane told him and held the dragon out. "You want to make nice nice?"
"Cool!" Ron said and grabbed the dragon. He hugged it and felt it purr. "Wow, I wish I had a toy like this!"
"Me too!" Harry agreed.
"I guess it is nice . . . " Hermione reluctancy agreed. Ron gave Shyane back her dragon.
"Look at my other toy!" Shyane told them. She picked up her train and sat it on the ground. She pressed a button.
"Choo . . . Choo . . . " The train went as it started moving. At first, it moved on the ground; however, when it built up enough speed, it took to the sky and started circling the room. Everyone in the compartment 'Uwed' and 'Awed'. After a while, it slowed down. It slowly came to a landing, then a complete stop.
"Your mum must be rich." Ron stated.
"Ron!" Hermione scolded.
"What rich?" Shyane asked.
"It's when you have a lot of money." Harry explained.
"Oh, then Mummy is rich!" She declared proudly. "Mummy love to buy me new toys!"
"What's your mommy's name?" Harry asked curiously.
"My mummy's name is-" She started, but was interrupted by Hermione.
"I thought you said it was none of my damn business?" Hermione asked.
"You said the 'd' word!" Shyane shouted and pointed at Hermione.
"..." Hermione's right eye twitched. "Why don't you like me?"
"Cause you bussy." She answered.
"What?" Hermione asked confused.
"Bussy."
"I think she means bossy." Harry told Hermione.
"Oh . . . Hey, I'm not bossy! You've only known me for a while!"
"Don't worry. I like you later, when you and Ron go kissy kisses." She told Hermione, which made her and Ron blush. Hermione was about to say something when the train started moving again. "Mummy is coming back!"
"Whose your —"
"What are you three doing back here?" Severus's voice rung out through the air. Hermione, Harry, and Ron tensed. They stood up and turned to face Severus.
"Professor . . . " Ron cleared his throat nervously.
"We heard someone crying, and we came to see if they were hurt." Harry told Severus, who immediately looked at Shyane. Shyane smiled and ran up to Severus.
"I got boo boo on head." She told Severus, who picked her up and kissed the top of her head. Harry and the others watched in shock and amazement as she giggled. Severus smiled at her, then looked at them with a frown and a glare. They took the quiet hint and literally ran out of the compartment. He looked back at Shyane with a smile.
"Better?" Severus asked.
"Yes." She answered. Severus sat down, still holding Shyane. "Where did you go?"
"To talk with someone."
"Oh . . . I sleepy . . . " She told Severus with a yawn.
"Then go to sleep."
"Ah, nice to see you Severus." Dumbeldore greeted.
"Albus." Severus greeted. Dumbeldore grinned when he saw Shyane. "Tough ride? I heard that you-know-who had set a trap, but you stopped it in time."
"I did . . . Albus . . . I believe, no I know that Shyane is a Seer."
"Really, that's a rare gift . . . Those she know how to use it?"
"No, she doesn't even know that she's one."
"Severus, why haven't you told her? She might tell you things that you shouldn't hear."
"I just want her to grow up as normal as possible . . . "
"Severus . . . " Dumbeldore started, but stopped when he heard and saw Shyane yawn and stretch. "Have a good sleep young one?"
"Granddad!" She exclaimed and held her arms up. Dumbeldore laughed and took her from Severus.
"How have you been little one? I haven't seen you in so long. I'm surprise you can remember me."
"I no forget you! You help Mummy soon and get me Daddy!" She told Dumbeldore, who shot a look at Severus. Severus looked at you and sighed.
"Shyane, you don't need your daddy." Severus told her. She looked down sadly. "At least, not your biological father . . . "
"How about we go to the main hall and wait for the first years?"
"Hey, it's that girl Harry!" Ron exclaimed and pointed at Shyane who, was sitting on Severu's lap and playing with Dumbeldore's beard.
"It is. I wonder who her mother is. Wait a minute!" Harry said.
"What?" Hermione asked.
"She MUST be a Malfoy! She has the same hair, eyes, spoiled with expensive toys, rich, and knows Severus!" Harry pointed out.
"I didn't know Malfoy had a little sister." Ron said.
"I wonder why she wasn't with him on the train, never talks about her, or why is she here at Hogwarts?" Hermione asked curiously.
Severus was now having tea and talking to Dumbeldore in Dumbeldore's office. Shyane was behind them petting Fawkes/?.
"If you want Severus, I know a spell that I could cast on her to suppress her powers for a while. I could cast it if you want?" Dumbeldore suggested. Severus looked at Shyane, then back to Dumbeldore. He nodded his head.
"It would be greatly appreciated . . . I don't think I can handle knowing my future all the time, neither should her . . . at least until she's older." Severus told Dumbeldore. Dumbeldore nodded his head and picked up his wand. He pointed it at Shyane, said the incantation, and she was engulfed in a light. It soon died down, Shyane was still playing like nothing happened. "She didn't feel it?"
"Not physically; however mentally, she might feel a little depressed at first. Though, after a couple of days, she should be back to her normal self." Dumbeldore informed Severus. "Now, tell me. Have you told her biological father about her?"
"No, I haven't . . . I don't need to."
"Severus . . . "
"Don't Severus me! Lu-
