At Hogwarts Witchcraft and Wizardry Professor Severus Snape, Potions Master, was sitting at his desk reading a potions Journal that just come out. He looked up when he heard wings and seen a brown owl land in front of him. He took the letter from the owl and gave it an owl treat that he had at his desk. He looked at the letter and didn't recgonize the hand writing. He looked at the seal and seen that it was the Potter crest. Wonering why he had a letter from Potter he opened it and read it.
Dear Snape,
Your probroly wondering why you are getting a letter from me of all people, your worst enemey at school. Well their are a couple of reasons why you are getting this letter and I will tell you.
I was forced to take two things from you after we got out of school. If I didn't I would have gotten killed by someone that works for the light. I truely didnt want to do it but I had no choice in the matter. He used the Imperius Curse along with some kind of potion on me. He also put a charm on me so I couldn't talk to anyone about it but he never said that I couldn't write a letter. I broke free of both of curse and the potion and decided to write this letter to you. Now your proboly confused on what I took from you since you had your memories changed so let me tell you.
I had to take Lily Evans and your child from you. Your child looked like Lily but had your nose before yours got broken so many times by me when we were at school. I adopted your child with my magic and blood. She is the last of the Potters and everything goes to her when the child comes to age.
Hopefully the child didn't go to Lily's sister and her husband since they hate everything to do with magic and Lily's sister hated her. Hopefully the child ended up with Sirius but if not then I'm afraid that she did go to Petuinas house.
The child is a girl and you and LIly had named her Shadow Lillian Rose Snape but it was changed to Rose Lillian Potter. Yes I know its shocking but it is true. Everything written on here is.
I want to appologize to you for everything I ever did to you at school. I was a bastard to you and I am really sorry for that. You didn't deserve anything that happened to you that I did.
Go get your daughter if she is at the Dursley's. I'm afraid something has happened to her if she is their. They are not the nicest muggles around. I think they are the worst.
One more thing. Don't let Albus know that I told you about any of this. He would just remove the memory of this letter and everything to do with your daughter.
James Potter
P.S. After you read this you should get your memories back.
After Snape had finished reading the letter he dropped it on the desk. He couldn't believe that Albus Dumbledore would do any of this. He should have stayed loyal to the Dark Lord then go to the light. He stood up and walked over to the fireplace in his office. He grabbed a handful of Floo powder and throw it in to the fire. "Malfoy Manner" he said and walked into the fire.
He stepped out of the fireplace at Malfoy Manner after everything stopped spinning. He needed to talk to Lucius since he remeber making him and Cissy Shadow's godparents.
"Lucius." he called and waited next to the fire place in the office he ended up in.
He only had to wait a few minutes before hearing footsteps coming toward him. He looked up when he heard the door opened and seen Lucius and Cissy walk into the office.
"What is it Severus?" Lucius asked.
"I got a timed delayed letter from James Potter." he said as he held out the letter to Lucius so he could read it.
Lucius took the letter and read it before handing it to Cissy.
"Why would anyone take your wife and child from you and why come here?" Lucius asked.
"I need your help in getting my daughter back. If what Potter says is true about those muggles she lives with then something isn't right. I noticed something wasn't right when I was trying to teach her Occlmency but wasn't sure." Severus explained with a sigh. He sat down in a chair and put his head in his hands.
"I'll help in any way I can." Lucius said.
"She'll have to stay here for the rest of the summer. I can't take her to Hogwarts. I'll tell Dumbledore that I just found out that I have a daughter thats from Canada but had to move here since her mother just died." Severus said. "She'll need to go shopping for cloths also. From what I've seen her wear its nothing nice."
"I'll take her shopping when she gets here." Cissy said.
"I remember making the both of you her god parents when she was born and she isn't a Half-Blood like anyone thought. She is actually a pure blood." Severus said. "We have to get her out of that house tonight. Lucius would you go to Our Lord and tell him about everything. Give him the letter to read. I'll take Draco with me. I know he has a crush on my daughter even though he doesn't say it and picks on her."
After they made a plan it was about 1 pm before Snape and Draco left Malfoy Manner.
Dear Rose,
I'm sitting here watching you sleep as I write this letter to you. Their are things that you need to know and it will come to a shock once you finish reading this letter.
I am not your father. I adopted you with my magic so you are a Potter in magic.
I had taken you and your mother from someone but it wasn't my choice to do so. I had no option then do it since I was under the Imperius Curse and a potion. I had fought against the potion and curse and broke it. I sent your real father a letter explaining everything to him.
I know its a shock but I do love you like you were my own daughter.
Your proboly trying to figure out who your father really is so I'll tell you. He didn't know about you because he had his memories changed thinking he didn't marry your mother or have a child.
Your real father is Severus Snape.
Your real name isn't Rose Lillian Potter but Shadow Lillian Rose Snape. You can add Potter to it if you like but you don't have to. I know its a long name if you add Potter but I'm hoping that you will. Remember you don't have to.
Your wondering who put the curse on me and made me take the potion? Well I'll let you know. It was Albus Dumbledore. I'm not sure why he did it but he did.
I know shocking isn't it.
Your mother wasn't a muggle born either. She was actually a pure blood. She was the heir to Slytherin and Ravenclaw. I also think she was the heir to Merlin also but I'm not positive. You'll have to go to Grigotts to find out who your ancestors are.
Since I adopted you with my magice you are the heir to Gryffindor and Hufflepuff to.
Yes a lot to take in. I know. Their should be a trunk in the envelope. Its a multply conpartment trunk. I'll explain what each conpartment is.
Conpartments-
1- This is where you can put all your school robes, shirts, and skirts.
2- Put all your school books here along with your parchement, quills and inks.
3- This has all the books from the Potter and Evans Library. So you have your own Library. Some of the books are written by the founders. Don't lose any of them, but if you do they will automatically go to either the Potter or Evans Vaults at Gringotts.
4- This is your very potion room. You can make all your ptions here. It has every single potion ingredent you can think of and some of them are rare.
5- This is training room. You can train with whatever you want. It will teach you muggle fighting such as hand to hand combat, sword fighting and also any other muggle fighting you can think of. It will also teach you how to duel with magic.
6- This has differet things in it. The compartment changes if you want to add a room inside here. You have 2 bedrooms, a kitchen, bathroom, and another small library in it.
7- This is here so you can store different things it here.
Use the trunk. It will help you.
Remember your mother loves you and so do I even though I'm not your real father.
Love,
James Potter (Prongs)
After Rose finished reading it she had tears going down her face. She couldn't believe that Dumbledore would do this to anyone. She put the letter down on her desk and buried her facce in her hands.
After a while she stopped crying and stood up slowly since she was still in pain from what her Uncle did to her. She walked over to the window and looked out at the clear sky. As she stood their she seen two shapes walking towards her relatives house. She didn't know who they were but she moved out of the window so they couldn't see her.
Severus and Draco Apparated to Privite Drive and looked around to make sure no one from the Order was around. They were lucky since their wasn't anyone their. They walked down to number 4 and walked up to the door. Severus took out his wand and whispered "Alohmora." He heard a click and pushed the door open.
He stepped into the house quitely so he wouldn't wake anyone up.
"Draco stay down here. I'm going to find Potter." he whispered.
"Alright Unlce Sev." Draco said as he watched Severus walk up the stairs.
Severus walked up the stairs to the first door which had many locks on it and a cat flap at the bottom. He unlocked the door with a wave of his hand and pushed it opened slowly.
Shadow had her wand in her hand and was pointing it at the door. She heard people whispering down stairs and one set of footsteps walking up the stairs. She watched her door as she heard the clicks and opened slowly. She was suprised when she seen that it was her father their.
Severus seen his daughter stading with her wand pointed at the door. He could see that she had bruises on her and it looked like she was in pain.
"Professor, what are you doing here?" she asked.
"I came here because I got a delayed message from James Potter." he replied to her.
"Did it say that I was your daughter?" she asked him.
"Yes it did. I'm getting you out of here. Where are your things?"
"In the cupboard under the stairs." she said as she lowered her wand to her side. "I only have this and a few other things up here with me. I'll let Hedwig fly and meet me where ever we are going. She'll find me no matter what." She walked over to her bed and knelt of the floor. She moved the loose floor board that was under her bed and took the things out from their, which was her invisablity cloak, Photo album and her letters from her friends.
She stood back up and placed everything on the bed before moving over to her desk where Hedwig was. "Hedwig go out and hunt. You can find me when you are done. Alright girl?" Hedwig hooted and nipped Shadows fingure before flying out the window.
"I got everything from up here. I just need to get my trunk from down stairs." she said to her father.
"Alright. Lets go." Severus said. He walked back down the stairs with Shadow following him. He could tell that she had a couple broken ribs by the way she was walking and moving.
Once they were down stairs Shadow seen that Draco was also their. "Hello Draco." she said as she walked past him to the cupboard under the stairs. She waited until her father unlocked it.
