Severus Snape's Point of View
The morning begins 'perfectly'. Blake and I Apparated to my chambers last night and placed her on my bed. I took a pillow and slept on the floor, not wanting to cross the line between man and woman.
Somehow, I woke up this morning with something beside me. I regretted deeply that my curiosity got the best of me again. The silver-haired girl thugs on my shirt though it is not only that I noticed. Her angry wound has healed to the point there is no scar visible. The phoenix's powers, I presume.
The door then was knocked by someone. Before I got the chance to even move away from her, my guest has already opened the door. The anonymous person was Minerva who said that she is here to help Blake in 'girls' stuff'. She seems to misunderstand the situation because she said,"Erm…I-I am here to dress…Blake, in Dumbledore's orders. Do not worry, Severus. This is a secret I swear to keep." I don't even get a chance to explain seen that Minerva trusts her eyes more than others' words.
She casted a barrier and changed Blake to a crimson Victorian-styled dress that she stated as a possession of her niece's. Before she left, Minerva passed on a message from Albus: "He said that the young lady will be sorted to Slytherin for the ease of your supervision and you'll also be excused today of classes." If only that man can just stop tormenting me.
If Dumbledore wants me to keep myself from teaching today; it means this girl should wake up any time soon. I sigh. It's better to be giving detentions than drinking countless cups of coffee and waiting for her to wake up. Speaking of the phoenix, if this girl indeed contains it then her magic shall be as strong which means…
Albus wants her as a pawn against the Dark Lord.
That man! Probably the fact of protecting the girl might be a truth, though he wants to manipulate her as well! He will do anything to win against the lord. Not that I say his actions are wrong but seeing that this girl is only eleven, she might even lost control of her power! The images of Blake unable to calm and harm everyone appear in my mind. I am not sure if that old wizard has other things on mind but I swear that I won't let him hurt her.
I will protect Blake.
Out of the world, I hear the same ringing of the bell again as if it is responding to me. The ringing got louder and louder until it happens.
Blake slowly flutters open her eyes, revealing dark red glowing-like spheres. The red is indescribable; I might even have to come up a new name for it. "You're awake." My voice causes her to jump in surprise. "W-Who are you?" she asked, shaking. "I am Severus Snape." "Why can't…I remember? Who am I?" "You are…" I hesitate. "Blake."
"He is your daddy." I look behind to see swirls of black smoke show up and Albus come out. "I am not!" Blake looks at me, as if in confusion. "Dad-daddy?" "Yes, he's your father." "Daddy!" She jumped to hug me, I left speechless. "Daddy, do you know?" "I don't if you don't tell me." "The beautiful big bird told me that there will be surprise today! It wasn't lying, after all." The phoenix? "It seems that the bird communicates with her through dreams." Albus states through telepathy.
Blake's Point of View
Dad looks quite unhappy to see me. I don't mind because I am not! His hair is black and greasy. (Who knows how long he didn't wash it!) The other old man wearing half-moon spectacles said, "Blake,I am your grandpa." "Albus!" I am not sure why but I immediately reply, "Grandpa!" He chuckles in reply to me. "Yes, yes…now here's a gift to my little granddaughter." He takes out a stick from his pocket and moves his finger in swirls.
A gorgeous ruby necklace pop up from nowhere and rests on my neck, wearing it to me. I gently take up the red stone to my eyes-not wanting to break my very first gift. "It's beautiful, grandfather! Thank you." He laughs happily and said, "Do you want to see around the school?" School? I'm in a school? I still say yes though.
The school is enormous! Daddy firstly brings me to his classroom in the dungeons. I got so surprised when I see the jars of prickled animals lining the walls! (Its' actually ingredients, he tells me) On one of the shelf, a particular jar stands out. Inside lies a pretty white flower. Dad then opens it and takes out the beauty. "What is this, daddy?" It must have a name. "A jasmine." He then places the flower on my left ear and chuckles slightly. "Thank you!" I say in joy. "Jasmine looks good on you, Blake." said grandfather.

The white flower fit her silver hair indeed. While she is jumping around looking at the classroom, Dumbledore gestures his hand to a sign he wants to talk. "The ruby is her power detector." "What?" "If she ever gets out of control, it will inform both of us." said Albus in a serious tone. "For if-" He is cut off by a thud. I look backwards to see the most unexpected.
Blake lies at the ground with her eyes closed.
