Disclaimer: I Own Nothing

Alice Ray was a small quiet, little seven girl who lives alone, unknown to the nearby little town. She has curly brown hair and hazel eyes. She was happily sitting in her big living room, in her grandmother's rocking chair reading a book, when she felt something in they air, a kind of energy flowing throw it. She put a book marker in her place in her book, got down from the chair waited for something to happen. She did not have to wait long it was seconds after she got down from her chair did something happen.

There was man tall, black haired man, with a hooked noise and deep black eyes looking at her. At his feet was two small black suite cassis and in his pale hands were two things; one was a parchment envelope and they other was what looks like a photo album. "Is there an Alice Ray here Miss?" The man in front of her in a quiet silky voice. "I'm she." Alice said to him. The strange man blinked at her and but then did something Alice hadn't excspected.

He bowed to her! He got on his hands and knees and bowed to her! "Mistress I humblei asked that you aspect me and my servers. To be yours forever, to do with me as you see fit." The man on the floor said not looking up at her. "Ok." Alice said quietly still in shock. The man rose and looked away from the little girl.

"What's your name?" Alice asked the tall man. "My name is Severus Snape misters." Come they answer. "Well Severus I'm still confuses about all this." She admitted. "This might help misters." Severus said giving his tiny misters the preachment envelop. "Thank you." Alice said. "Your welcome misters." Severus said automatically. Alice looked at the envelop to find there was nothing on it. She opened it up to find a lengthy letter in it.

Dear little niece,

I'm righting to you to help clear up any thing unclear to you. For starters I'm was your Great, Uncle Adam and I right was your uncle because I'm dead by the time your reading this. I do realizes that you must be confuses as to why I have left you Severus. Or perhaps your wondering why you never herd of an Uncle Adam. The answer to the first one is that I can only trust you with him. I know you will treat him well and not abuses him. And to answer the second question, you haven't herded of me because I have been disowned by the family many years ago.

I come from your father's side of your family and is regrettable very rich and our family is very greedy. My money and possessions will be stoat after. I did not want to right an official will, because it would exposes you and were you live, among the muggles. I don't like or dislike muggles any more than I do magic, but make no mistake if anybody realizes that you were living alone, then the magic will realizes that Severus is your slave and that will mean greedy realities coming to your door. But the muggles don't know were you live, but if they would try and take the situation they don't understand into there own hands.

But muggle or not it would mean trouble if any one finds were you live and with who.It would mean the orphaning for you and God knows were with who for Severus. I love that boy like the son I nerve had I want you to take real good care of him, Alice I know you can. I trust you and you alone with his life. Take good care of your self.

Love,

Uncle Adam.

Alice thought for a moment about what she had just read, and glanced at it once more and then looked at Severus and realized that he was still on his hands and knees. "Oh I'm so sorry Severus I did not mean to levee you there. You may get up now," Alice said to him.Severus rose slowly and looked at his misters "Thank you misters." He said automatically. "Fallow me and I'll take you to your room." Alice said. "Yes misters." Severus fallowed his very young misters down a wide hall way and she opened the first door. Inside was a large room that had wall to wall book-shelves full of large leather books.

There in the middle of the room was a queen sized bed; ever thing was very clean and neat in the large room and slightly stuffy room. "This use to be my grandma's room, but it's your now." Alice said quietly. "Thank you misters. Misters pleases forgive me if I set out of line, but how long have you lived alone?" Severus asked.Alice looked at him and into his eyes before telling him "Almost a year and a half." And looked back down again. "It has been almost a year and a half since grandma died. But there were others before her, I had once lived with my mom and dad, grandma, great grandma and Grammy, but they all died. But I only remember great grandma, grandma and Grammy; I don't remember mom or dad."Alice said almost to her self.

Severus looked down at the small brunet girl that is supposed to sever as his new misters. She looked very sad, but she had no tears in her eyes, just great sadness and pain. Alice walked down the hall to her room and quietly shot her door. She sat down on her bed, to think of her loved one's. It tock a few minuets but eventually tears began to fall.

After unpacking his belongings Severus sat on his bed to think. "My new misters is a seven year old." Severus said as though it was the first time he found out. 'We'll Adam did say that she would be young.' Severus thought. Then Severus did something he hadn't done in years… he laughed, loud and hard. After Severus had calmed down he had realized something. 'My live is in the hands of a seven year old. Adam said that she could be trusted, but still I don't trust easily, and weather she can be trusted or not doesn't matter my live is still her control.' Severus thought.

Alice's tears had just stopped and were threatening to start flowing again. 'I wish my family was still alive, especially now that Severus is here, and I'm responsible for him. I miss them all so much.' Alice thought. 'Well I guess I should get diner started.' Alice thought. She got up and left her room and walked down the hall and into the kitchen.

Severus here a door open and close and another open and close again. He silently got off his bed and went to see what his young misters was up to. He peeked throw the open kitchen door to see Alice opening a cabinet to try and find something, and she pulled out a large fraying pan. "What are you doing misters?" Severus asked. "I'm making diner fro the two of us." Alice said."What are you making?" Severus asked. "I'm making breakfast for diner; if you want to help you can set the table." Alice said. "Yes misters." Severus said. He found two plats, two forks, spoons, glasses and he set them on the table. Alice quickly made eggs and bacon and toast. They had a silent meal, nether one knew what to say to the other. "Is there any thing you want me to do misters?" Severus asked after diner. "No there's nothing I can think of. You may do anything you want." Alice said. "Thank you misters." Severus said and left for the libbary.
