Through the crowd of first years arriving at the great hall getting ready to be sorted Professor Severus Snape saw a little girl with locks of flaming red hair. He froze he knew that hair. That girl was Lily Evans's daughter: Lily Potter. The girl turned around to face him. She looked identical to her mother.
'Fuck. This is going to be a hell of a next 7 years.' Severus thought. As though Albus Dumbledore read his mind he said across the table.
'You still remember our deal 10 years ago?'
Severus nodded. A few of the other professors look confused, but before they could ask questions McGonagall cleared he throat.
'May I have your attention please.' The Great Hall went silent, all eyes were upon her. Dumbledore stood up and said. 'Let the sorting begin.'
'Abbot Hannah.' A first year girl went to the sorting hat and sat down on the stool and put the hat on her head. 'HUFFLEPUFF.' The hat yelled. There was a applause and Hannah sat down with the Hufflepuff's.
Severus lost interest in the sorting until he heard the name Lily Potter. There was utter silence in the Great Hall. Every pair of eyes was on Lily Potter. She nervously stepped up to the stool, put on the hat and waited. The hat took longest for Lily Potter than it ever did on any student. Finally the hat yelled out. 'GRYFFINDOR.' There was a HUGE applause from the Gryffindor table. Severus's heart sank. He hoped she would be in his house. The Gryffindor's were yelling 'We got Potter! We got Potter!'
'Silence.' McGonagall and Dumbledore said simultaneously. 'Thank you.' Dumbledore added with the twinkle in his eye. Severus was baffled at how much she looked like his Lily. His Lily.
