"Come on its over here," I yelled, me? I'm 16 years old going to Jefferson High School. I'm 5'8 in height, cold gray eyes, and pitch-black hair with two green streaks in the front. A rounded off nose, my adopted mom says I look like my real mother, except straight hair, narrowed face, and broad shoulders like my dad. Well enough about my description the name is Serafina, but I like the nickname Sera better. Well anyways I'm Serafina Marissa Snape.

"Well how the hell do you expect me to run and carry this shit, and besides what IS half of this stuff," questioned Kiyoko. That's my best friend, Kiyoko Lupin, we've known each other forever so she practically my sister. She's 5'4, with one green eye and one blue eye; her hair is a light red with dirty blonde highlights. Unlike me she doesn't go to a public school she goes to this boarding school 'for the gifted' some were in London, England.

"You'll see," I said, "well you can stop running were here." Kiyoko slowly stopped, "An old a banded house?" I smiled, "yea this place is awesome, and I just wanted to show you before you leave again. Well you know by the time you get back this place will be the shit to hang out at!" Kiyoko examined the empty house, then she turned and looked at me and said, "how's about a bonfire?" With a grin and said, "I'm one step ahead of you," then took out a bit of wood, lighter fluid and some matches from the bag. After about 5 minutes of preparing the fire, Kiyoko finally go the bonfire going. After about ten minutes of laughing and talking about random things I started thinking. I laid back on to the floor looked up at the ceiling and let out a light sigh. Kiyoko looked at me and asked, "hey Sera what's wrong, you've been acting a bit strange lately." I sat up and looked at her and sighed again then said, "I've been having this really weird dream a lot lately, like my parents are still alive somewhere. When I thought about it I began to get mad, "DAMN IT!" As soon as I finished it, the fire exploded, the flames got to the ceiling and a fire was starting. "Get out I'll be right behind you," Kiyoko yelled as I started to make my exit. As soon as I had made it out, I looked through the window and seen the fire go out, as if it was magic, a moment later Kiyoko walked out.

When we got back to my house my mom looked over at Kiyoko and softly said, "your aunt wants you home." Kiyo gave me a wave and after she left my mom looked over at me and said, "I'm support to keep you in, but now." I looked at her with a confused and yet somewhat mad face as she led me to my room, "hiding why the hell am I in hiding?"

"Sera hun you're a witch just like your mother, and your father, is a wizard," she began. "Your father tried saving you both by having you two go in to hiding... unfortunately your mother died."

All I could do was fall back on my bed and a slight 'oh my god' came from my mouth. My mom left the room then came back a moment later with something in her hand; a picture she handed its to me and tried to smile. Before I opened the picture I noticed three names on the back. Marissa, Severus, and baby Serafina Snape. I was about to open the picture I seen an owl tapping at the window, in mid-day never the less. My mom opened the window, took the letter the owl was carrying and handed it to me.

"This is for you, I'll let you be alone for awhile, I know this is happening so fast." I took the letter carefully, then put down the picture and watched her leave.

Serafina Snape,

I have been contacted by the ministry that you have been using magic. I would like you to pack only things that are necessary, also please be ready by 7:30 pm. I will be there to escort you to your temporary home.

Sincerely,

Albus Dumbledor.

I sat there dumbfounded, after a moment I took a backpack and started to pack. The letter, picture, clothes, toothbrush, hairbrush, and my stuffed bunny I used as a pillow. I went back into the living room, with only 15 minutes left till 7:30. I seen my adopted mother reading a floating book and stirring her tea. I just lightly dropped my bag nest to my guitar and I kneeled next to her and said, "So what is my dad like?"

She looked at me and smiled, "he can be a cold heart bitch, but if he likes you, he's somewhat nice. I'm just hoping your like your mother and get through the layer of stone and get him to smile." I let out a sort giggle, and she told me about her days at Hogwarts and dad and mom. Then a green flame suddenly come from the fireplace and a long bearded man stepped out. He looked over at me and with a smile said, "ah Serafina, the last time I got to see you, you were only two months old."

My adapted mom stood up and shook the old wizard's hand, "Albus its good to see you again.

Good to see you too Katrina, but I can not stay long so Serafina are you ready?" I simply nodded as he lead me over to the fireplace he pour some powder in my hand. "All you need to do is throw it in to the fireplace and clearly say Number twelve Grimmald Place."

After doing so Dumbledor was behind me, and we were in a odd house. "If you go up two floors the first room on the right is where you will be staying for today and tomorrow, oh and your stuff is already up there for you."

"Thank you," is all I could say, Dumbledor smiled and I headed up to the room. I noticed stuff was on the bottom half of the bunk; so I climbed up on the top and set my bed up. After I took out the picture of my parents and started staring into the moving picture, I did look a lot like my mom, but with many features like my dad also.

"Severus, you must stay, one more moment please," I heard Dumbledor exclaim. I ran down to the first floor after hearing my dads name, I looked down and seen Dumbledor and another man. Dumbledor looked up at me with a twinkle in his eye and said, "Ah I was wondering when you would get down here." The other man looked up at me and when we had made eye contact his expression softened, "Marissa?" I started making my way down the stairs never breaking eye contact and said, "no... Serafina.

Dumbledor then said, "Severus this is your daughter, I have finally found her." I rush the rest of the way down the stairs and gave him a hug, not knowing what else to do. I softly said, "dad.. I've missed you." He put his arms around me and said, "dear Merlin you look so much like your mother,"

(A/N: I myself will be doing every odd chapter and my friend will be doing every even chapter so if the characters point of view changes at the begining of each chapter thats either myself or my friend)
