Updated 12 July 2014, just touching up a few things before I continue with my story I thought that I would be good to add that Calie knew Snape as she has spent her entire life dreaming about him, it seamed stupid to not know him or anything about magic. oh and I will be writing any thought of Characters in Italic's

welcome

Just a few things before I start, One is that I do not own any of the character (apart from Calie Gates, she's my OC for Harry Potter) I'm just borrowing them to make this fanfiction. Tow is that I have done as much research as I can to make this as close to the real thing as possible and finally three please keep in mind that this is just a little pit of fun, I'm a huge Snape fan girl and I've been wanting to make a Fic for ages now but haven't found the time. I do hope you enjoy reading this as much as I have writing it.

SHE!

"You wished to speak with me Albus?" Severus panted as he lent against the pillar in Dumbledore's study, trying to regain his breath having walked rather quickly to get from the dungeon to the study. When you receive a summons from Dumbledore you do not doodle or put it off, you drop what you're doing and make you way there post-haste. "Ah yes Severus, I need for you to go on a rather important errand for me" Albus began to stroke his long white beard as he paced his study, face full of ponder and worry. "There's a girl" he pause "A very special girl, I've sent an owl with a letter attached, she is to start her with the first years" Severus said nothing for a moment hopping that Albus would explain why exactly this was anything to do with him. When nothing was said Severus asked "what does this have to do with me?" Albus stopped pacing and lifted an envelope from his desk giving it to Severus, he said with much concern in his voice "She thinks she's a muggle, Magic is not real and will ,with all certainty believe that the letter is some sort of practical joke, poppy cock, rubbish, unbelievable-" a small sigh from Albus "-your task is to go to the address in that envelope and convince her otherwise." Albus looked down at Snape over the top of his half-moon glasses "You must do what ever it takes to get her here, do you understand?" Snape looked confused for a moment, not truly understanding the situation, thought he knew Dumbledore didn't need Snape to understand, he needed Snape to do and so he said nothing just nodded

"good" Albus smiled, sat back at his desk and began to read.

"what about her parent's why cant't they-" Severus began

"-she's 18 years old" Albus finished.

"What?!" Snape was now in the centre of Albus's study with the look of bewilderment upon his face.

"the girl Severus, then the explanation" Dumbledore stared at Snape through the top of his glasses once more, this was a harsh 'no more questions' stare and with one long swoosh of his cape Snape turned and made his way to the exit. "Oh and Severus, make sure the girl is safe...Always!" Snape turned at the last word as it bit through him like Iced wind. How dare he repeat that word, Snape had told Dumbledore his feelings for Lilly Potter in a moment of trusting and weakness. 'that silly fool, how dare he use that word, this girl, this Miss Gates is already a thorn in my side'. Snape thought angrily to him self as he march down the stairs of Dumbledore's study exit.

Albus knew the effect that would have upon Severus but he continued without feeling, without an apology, nothing. Albus struggled to read his book. His mind to alive with questions, memory's, and feelings, this task was to important for apologies or long explanations, He needed the girl he also had to remind Snape of the harsh, ripping, emptiness of heartbreak. He needed Snape to remember why he chose the light, why Dumbledore spared him. "This girl is our hope" he whisper to himself, flipping over a new page in his book, letting the worries of today float out of his head and into the darkness.

"NOOOO!" screamed a cold, sweaty Calie as she shoots up from her bed, hart pounding in her chest, skin white as snow, eyes widened with fear. The sheets clenched to her wet flesh, her mattress undoubtedly wet as well. Removing the covers and swivelling round to sit on the edge of the bed she sighed and buried here face in her hands, again unable to weep, she can't remember what she dreamed about, all she knows is that it is dark and evil. "it's just a dream, it's just a dream, just a dream" she repeats until her heart beets normally once more. she runs her long, fingers threw her dark brown hair, wiping away the sweet that has accumulated in her hair. 'I'm gona need a shower after that'. Calie thinks to her self as she looks up at her clock '3.00 am. 'Same time as last night, same dream, same nothingness, same horrid feeling when I wake'. Sighing once more she lifts herself from the bed, removing the dampened bed sheets and throwing them in front of the washing basket. Calie ran her hand across the surface of her mattress "oh great!" she says sarcastically. Calie then began lifting her mattress when "BANG! BANG!" Calie closed her eyes and let out a miserable sigh, dropping the mattress she then opened the door to a very sleepy, pissed off flatmate "Ellie?"

"again, really!?"Ellie folded here arms and gave out a little huff. "once in a while I can put up with that, but not once a night"

"Sorry Ellie" Calie could see the apology meant nothing to Ellie, she had her ranting head on.

"this is getting ridicules its the third time this week you've kept me awake with your screaming random crap, keep it up and I'll have to complain to Dan about it!" she began to tap her foot on the floor

"No offence but it's not something I can control, I don't get any sleep either you know Ellie" Ellie began to boil and her face curl "you need to see a shrink, there's something really wrong with you, I've known you for about 1 year and a half now and you've never screamed as much as you have the past couple of nights" Ellie puts comforting hand on Calie's shoulder "Oh my goodness, you're soaking wet, and freezing" Calie moves her shoulder away from Ellie's hand.

"I'll be fine, I'm sorry for the noise" Calie steps back and begins to close the door, Ellie turns and makes her way back down the stairs, "Calie?"

"yes?" Calie says quietly poking her head out the gap in the door.

"why do you keep saying stupid word's like abracadabra,and other things that sound Latin or something, it sound pretty stupid, your not dreaming about Houdini are you?"

"I...I don't know, I don't remember"

"who's Snape?" Ellie asks

"again I don't know, sorry, I'll try and ensure that it doesn't happen again"

"at least for another couple of day's ah" a week smile came from Ellie's lips, she had been friends with Calie, the first day they had met. they always found each other agreeable enough to have around for tea party's and other social event, the hole flat would here the odd mumble from time to time, but the screaming was to much of late, every one was whispering behind Calie's back, calling her a phico. Ellie was the only true friend she had living her. "Night" Calie nodded and as Ellie made her way next door to her flat and Calie began to close the door, the faintest on bumps could be herd coming from the ground floor. Calie was to preoccupied by other thought to give it any notice. 'Snape i haven't seen him in months' she mist his greasy black hair and hooked noise, she mist the way people would avoid him as the walked the halls of Hogwarts and the sound his clock would make, she mist her friend. Pain sliced threw Calie head, images and events flooded into her, a single tear fell from her eye, Calie wiped it away and held her head in agony, 'what is this, what's happening to me' it was hard to consternate with all the images in her head, then darkness, 'was it over' finally she could stand 'what was that' inhaling and exhaling her self in to a calm state, Calie did what she did every time something unexplainable happened and fell back to sleep.

A dark, damp, cold and familiar place 'the dungeon' and as expected there he was striding down the corridor, his robe cast a shadow over everything in his path. He was walking faster then he usually dose 'feel sorry for how ever pissed him off' Calie giggled as she watched the dream unfold. She enjoyed dreaming about Severus, were he goes, what he dose, though its not so nice seeing him scream at pupils, especially when they cry, it was a little awkward at first. when she was a child she would wake up crying, he would terrify her, but she soon learned to turn away, focus on another detail until his was done. but today no one got in his way, Snape moved passed all the students as if he had tunnel vision. His breath became deep and panting as he made his way threw the castle. 'he's heading to Albus's' Calie observed and soon enough Severus was stood in front of the Griffin Statue "sherbet lemon" Severus rolled his eyes feeling rather stupid having to say such a ridiculous phrase. The statue began to move twirling upwards. Calie liked it when she got to see Dumbledore's office. It was a large and beautiful circular room with four pilers closer to the centre, numerous objects were placed on funny tables around the room, with a lard writing desk with claw-feet in the centre, The walls were covered with portraits of old headmasters and headmistresses, and bookshelves as hight as the ceiling, it always amazes her every time she saw it 'how can one man read so many books' and as always sitting on a shelves behind it,a tainted ,shabby, wizard hat 'the Sorting hat' Snape flung himself threw the door "you wished to speak with me Albus" Snape lent against one of the pilers in Dumbledore's study, panting because of how quickly he had been moving. "Ah ... Severus, I ... important errand for me" Calie could never really make out any other people's voice apart from Severus's, he was the only one she could truly understand, she could lip read sometimes but this wasn't going to be one of those times. the dream became blurred like it sometimes dose, but Calie got the gist of it, putting the pieces together as it were "...always" Calie could feel the ripping of Severus's hart as that word left Albus's lips. It stopped him in his path, he looked back at the old man piercing him with his eyes. before turning back to complete his task. As Snape left the room Calie was pulled back it to the real world, and the dream was over.

Calie managed to have a good three hours of fearless sleep before Peaches, a light brown bull mastiff from next door began to bark at one of the many cats we have on our street. Today it was Ashbit, a big, fat, fluffy, grey Chartreux. Sitting on the 8' brick wall dividing the street from the garden. Wagging his tail on Peaches side of the fence. "erg" Calie rubbed her forehead, slowly began to get out of bed and make her way to the Kitchens medical cupboard. Pouring herself a small glass of cold water from the dispenser in the fridge, she herd a knock at the door. "Oh Hi George, bit early for you" they both giggle.

"Yer got to cover Nigel's shift again"

"Again...you make sure you get those days back, you could have an all round trip of the world the amount of cover days you've done" They laughed once more and Gouge reached into his mail bag pulling out a small bunch of mail for Calie. "Are you all right Calie, no offence but you look a little drained"

"I'm fine, just stressing finding a permanent job after collage, you know what its like, they all want experience but you can't get it unless you work"

"It's an endless spiral, I'm shore you'll find something, people have always got to eat" George offers a comforting smile. its at this point Calie would usually invite him in for a cup of tee and a couple of bickys but as he's covering there's no invitation today. Just a pleasant goodbye, chins up from George and he makes his way back down the stairs to the exit the building. George is a lovely man, polite, kind and caring, he's been the post man here for years. But Calie has known him for just over tow years as that is when she first moved in. They became close when she first moved in, he brought her a book shelf for all her books and even help unpack a few things. He'd brought her a artist set of pencils for her birthday. "amazing, you should sell some of these, forget cooking" he had told her one year, she loved her drawings to much to do that. It was a way of remembering parts of her dreams the faces she saw. she could all ways produce on paper. George had stumbled on to a drawing or tow of Snape one day and asked " what about this guy, you've got a tone of this guy, who is he?"

"no one, just a character I came up with one day"

"he looks sad, empty, I love how much detail you've put in the eyes, its creepy they look real" Calie could not remember why he was so sad, but his eyes were something she loved to draw, so dark, empty, yet hiding something a secret so powerful it breaks her heart every time she tries to think about it. She'd framed that particular peace and hung it above her bed side table. George was the farther Calie never had, he knew about her dreams, about the world of magic, broom sticks,spell and potions. he thought it was fantastic, that she should write a book about it and make a tone of money (by the way i do not intend to do this, just putting it in here as this is what someone would say if this really happened, JK owns the Hp world not me) she'd thought about it sometimes, but it would always feel wrong in some way, these were her dreams, it was in her head, plus it would be to much hassle to do that and do collage.

After Calie had looked through the letters she placed them in a bowl in front of the hall mirror and mad her way back in to the kitchen, taking tow paracetamol to cure her killer head ache she awoke with, she began to wash the dishes she'd left last night. it was then time for Classic FM on the radio and she slunk into her purple and silver flower pattern arm chair that felt like it hugged her derrière every time she sat down. Calie would spend hours sat there reading, science books, crime drama, fiction, she even had the occasional love story. But that would not be the case today. Shed barely started reading Conan Doyle's Hound of the Baskervilles before being disturbed by a tap from the kitchen window, it was just by chance she'd heard it, Richard Wagner's ride of the Valkyries was just dyeing out on the radio. She jumped slightly "what the?" turned saw nothing at first, then there it was on the floor, an envelope, in a creamy parchment with a red seal on the back. She placed her marker in the book, placed the book on the chair and made her way over to the mysterious envelope. She looked out side the window to see if anyone had thrown it in as a joke, but there was no one there, she did however see an abnormally large bird flying away, "that's weird...looks way to big to be a pigeon" thinking nothing of it she retuned to the envelope. She looked at the waxy red blob on the back, it was shaped like an overly detailed, very accurate Hogwarts logo, unimpressed at this prank that someone was playing on here. She flip the letter over and her full name, address and room number were on the front. She was about to throw the letter in the bin when her door went, expecting it to be Ellie, Lee or most probably Thomas from the fourth floor, she stomped to the door, letter in hand, rant ready. She flung the door open "do you!-"she froze for Calie was not met by Thomas, Lee or Ellie, But a man, a tall dark haired man with pail shallow skin. dressed in black robes that dragged slightly on the floor, a man with dark brown eyes that captivate her from first glance, he stood there emotionless, with a controlled exterior and with his arms folded. its exactly how she would of imaged him. she stood there mouth wide open, speechless. Severus raised his eye brown and scowled growing impatience with this girl. "It would be advised that you-" Calie never herd the rest of the sentence as her world blurred into darkness and she fainted falling backwards as stiff as a plank.
