I heard a knock on my door, I groaned. It was too early!
"Hisseyt, I am coming in whether you're up or not." Said Severus Snape. He opened the door.
"Don't you want to go to Diagon Alley?" I jerked awake.
"Why didn't you say so?" I said. I am Hisseyt Snape by the way. Pronounced Hiss-yet. He smirked.
"Your Hogwarts letter should be arriving soon." He said. At that moment, a large tawny owl soared through my window, I gasped. It was here! I untied the letter from its leg. It read-
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft And Wizardry
Headmaster- Albus Dumbledore

Severus asked, "What pet will you get?" Hmmmm hard choice.
"Barn owl. Can we go now? Pleeeaaassseee, Sev?" I gave him the best begging look I could.
"You have to get dresses Hissy-Rose!" He said. I absolutely hated my first name, so I get called Hissy or Rose a lot, where Rose came from I don't know. I realized I was still in my Pjs.
"I will meet you downstairs in 10, Sev." I said. He left. I went to the bathroom and combed my short, black hair. I put on a purple T-shirt that was loose enough to hide my wings. Yes wings! Black, feathery, Bird wings, black in color, and 12 feet tip to tip. The only people that knew of my secret were Severus and the teachers at Hogwarts. I ran down the stairs to meet him.
"Ready?" He asked.
"Yep." I said. We used the Floo network to get to Diagon Alley.
"Let's get your things, Hisseyt." He said.
"Don't call me that!"
"Hissy today, aren't we?" He asked with a smirk.
"Oh come on you!" I said as I dragged him into the first shop.
