Please uncle Al!. I'll be good I promise." Begged the 13-year-old girl, with the jet-black hair and familiar green eyes.
Albus Dumbledore sighed; the girl was so exasperating sometimes. I mean it was difficult enough trying to keep Harry out of trouble at Hogwarts how would they manage his twin! Plus Albus had the distinct feeling Snape would have something to say about his daughter being kept and trained by Dumbledore in a secret part of Hogwarts under the quidditch pitch.
When did it all go completely screwed up he pondered. You know when it went wrong Albus. It was when Lily saw the dark mark on Snape's arm, threw him and the troublesome older twin out and slept with James Potter. Leaving Serverus with no choice but to eventually hand the young girl to an orphanage so as to protect her from Voldemort. You being the meddler you are took her from said orphanage and hid her away after her mother was murdered. Replied a small voice inside his head.
"Fine. But you must promise to keep your heritage a secret child. It could have disastrous consequences otherwise." Allowing the girl to attend Hogwarts gave him chills – at the age of 8 she had managed to blow a whole in the quidditch pitch. That took some explaining and he dreaded to think what she could do now. Her type of magic was so different from the magic today, it was old magic and she had never needed a wand.
She flew at him happily "thank you thank you thank you!" she squealed happily.
5 hours later.
It was half way through the sorting when Dumbledore realised he had left his peniseve in Zizi's quarters.
Oh well I'll fetch it later he thought to himself
"Headmaster" McGonagall coughed interrupting his thoughts.
"oh yes." He nodded and stood "students and professors I would like to welcome an extra addition to our third year students. My Goddaughter Zizi Sparrow" he paused when there was no movement.
"ELFIE" he spoke calmly addressing her House elf, who appeared with a pop out of nowhere.
"Yes sir" he spoke sheepishly
"Elfie where is my Goddaughter?" he growled
"Yes you see sir I was coming to find you about her, but on the first day of term you are not an easy man to find." He began
"Elfie" McGonagall commanded warningly
"in her quarters sir – asleep" admitted the elf. The students gasped and gaped. Dumbledore's goddaughter- DUMBLEDORE"S GODDAUGHTER was asleep.
"Go fetch her" the elf popped out and returned a few moments later with a seemingly sleeping Zizi Sparrow.
"Wake up miss Zee! Wake up!" the elf was whispering hurriedly his yellow eyes afraid.
She jumped with a start and glanced at her watch
"Crap!" she groaned "I'm late Uncle Al is going kill me – or worse he might set Sev on me. Elfie I'll get some coffee and you ready the time machine!" with that she fell back to sleep. Some of the students laughed, snape fumed. That girl – her eyes- it couldn't be the orphanage had informed him she was dead.
Dumbledore lent down by her ear and cast a voice enhancing charm on himself.
"ZEE!!"
She shot awake then clutched her throbbing head. "You bellowed." She asked looking at him. And grimaced when she saw how furious he looked. She groaned as she looked at her watch.
The teachers merely stared at her; the aura surrounding her was one of power, pride and loyalty. She was definitely something special.
"What time do you call this?" he asked
"I'm late aren't i? of course you are stupid" she answered herself.
"Explain"
"I was real excited that you were finally consenting to my attendance and education at your fine establishment that I tripped over my photo album and smacked my head off of your pene- thing" she told him.
"My what?" Albus replied
"Elfie please go and fetch the thing I hit my head on." Asked Zee tucking a strand of her straight-layered shoulder length hair behind her ear.
"Here you go Miss Zee," muttered the elf a moment later.
Zee shoved the stone Peniseve toward Dumbledore, on of the corners was all blooded.
"Thankfully Elfie was able to stop the bleeding" Zee murmured
"Okay. Sorry for that small interlude" Dumbledore told the children "she is ready to be sorted now."
Zee swept forward and sat on the stool, the hat was slowly lowered down, it hadn't even managed to touch a hair on her head and was a decent length away from doing so, when the hat was overwhelmed by Pride, Cunning, Loyalty, Power and Rebellion.
"SLYTHERIN!!!!" it declared happily.
There was an intake of breath, that was simultaneous around the room.
Deciding to give them all something to gape at Zee ran a hand through her hair and her black locks were replaced by Straight silver hair that contained strips of green making her eyes stand out more.
"Don't worry, I'm sure you will all get over it" she sneered and sat herself at the table.
