He watched as the nurse handed him a little baby girl. Her face pale white and content, not understanding what was taking place. She little girl opened her eyes slowly and looked around, as if she was just seeing the world. Her gaze stopped at him. She studied him, seeing if he was safe to trust. Deciding he was she smiled, her first one, and it was all for him. She giggled and he smiled back, but a smile of sadness. The little girl that he held will never know her mother, or her father. He swore, on that day as soon as he learned of this child, that he would protect her with all of his power.
"Welcome to the world, Annette, I'm your godfather, Severus, Severus Snape."
"Annette, get your things ready, I don't want to be late!" Said girl was packing her bags. She carefully packed her diary and wondered what the school year will be like. Maybe she will make many friends, but maybe she will be a total loser. What house will she be in? All those thoughts were lost once her bedroom door opened to reveal a very aggravated potions master.
"How can we be late for being early?" he scowled at her in response and zipped her bag.
"We wouldn't have this conversation if you will just pack quicker."
"I wanted to make sure I had everything." Annette sat her bags on the bed and looked content. "I'm done."
The broiling man took out his wand and cast a spell that made her bags small enough to fit a doll. "Just get your arse by the fireplace!"
Annette's godfather, Severus, was a good man, although it would be hard to tell through first impressions. He never smiled often, and if he did not know you personally, do not expect any sympathy. In fact, do not expect any at all. That was reserved for his most special people, Annette and her mother. Unfortunately, Annette's mother died in childbirth, so here she was living with her godfather. Severus Snape was the potions master at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and the head of house for the Slytherins. Annette was going to be a first year at the school, and hoped that she was going to be sorted in her godfather's house. The sorting ofcores was up to a sorting hat, who else?
"You know Sev, if you keep your face like that it will turn permeate."
"Good." He grumbled, rushing her down stairs. He was rushing them to Malfoy Manor, the house of some friends of Severus that Annette never seen before. Apparently, they had a son her age that was going to be a first year to. They insisted that they go and get the supplies early before all the tainted blood come and screw things up.
Annette never knew what the big deal is with the whole blood thing. She thought it was cool that someone can be half something and half something else. She was half Vela, but she was not allowed to tell anyone.
Annette and Severus made there way to the fireplace and flooed, which was never her strong point, so when she landed face first at some poor person's feet she was not surprised.
"I know what you mean now when you said she was no where near as graceful as a swan." She looked up to see a tall man, about as tall as Severus, with long blond hair and had on fancy dress robes.
"Hello Lucius. I'm sorry for her, she has no grace, its from her father." Severus stepped over her and greeted his friend. Annette rose, brushed some dirt off her, and shook hands with the older man.
They sat and chatted about old times while Annette studied the house. It was large with the most expensive things.
"Father, I'm ready." The voice floated to her ears. She had heard it before⦠her dreams maybe. That seemed silly, until she saw whom it came from. She did not think she would ever see any one more perfect than him, his face pale white, his hair light blond, and his eyes gray with blue that catches the light. Who knew a god could take form in an 11-year-old boy named Draco Malfoy?
Okay, that is the end of these chapter kiddies, lets see if it is worth continuing. Its 2 in the morning and I'm a bit tired, lets see if I can sleep for once in a week, curse my insomnia. Oh well, do not for get to review and watch REPO! The Genetic Opera!!
Love you all ~ Katie
