Um so here's Chapter two, so everyone out there who's reading the story can see how the format of the story is going to be. Thanks for the reviews, follows and favorite!

There is a line bolded. That means that part is spoken on portuguese.

Severus Snape was not a patient man. But as you probably know, every rule has an exception, and his exceptions were his wife and daughter.

...

Juliana met him on his last year at Hogwarts. She was an exchange student from Brazil who, as soon as she got there, began to get treated like everyone's new favourite toy. That was something he found utterly stupid and annoying.

Unbeknownst to him, so did she.

She got sorted into Hufflepuff, which became the main reason he decided to completely ignore her. She, on the other side, could not bring herself to not think about him. Once she laid her eyes on him, every other boy in the school became irrelevant.

They never shared classes and for that he was grateful. It was not entirely because of her specifically, but because he despised Hufflepuffs. They were weak, dumb, and absolutely disposable. He never saw the point to that house apart from the fact that it reunited all the garbage other houses didn't want. For him, being sorted into Hufflepuff was worse that being sorted into Gryffindor, it meant you just weren't good enough. Added to that was the fact that he could not walk through a hallway without listening someone talking about her, which made him be aware of her existence when he wasn't interested on it.

Of course it didn't take long to Juliana to realize this. The people in the Slytherin table were always making fun of them and treating them as if they were dirt. She was angry, yes, but in no little time she learned to ignore them like all her housemates did.

It definitely sounded cliché, but they were just not worth it.

The first time they talked was in a greenhouse. Juliana loved spending time there because they reminded her of her home. Education in Brazil was very different, and she couldn't help but consider this an adventure. For starters, they didn't use a wand. Kid's magical abilities showed up when they were little and they usually started their training when they were around five years old.

Another big difference was the fact that they were very close to the "muggle" society (God, she loathed that word), and they studied their school subjects as well. She was so used to consider magical and non-magical people as equals, that the concept that it wasn't like that on this place was very hard for her to completely understand.

On her hand she had a bowl and was carefully touching a plant on the opposite side of the greenhouse entrance. That's why she didn't hear him enter, and he didn't hear her speaking until he started walking to where she was, still oblivious to her presence.

"You are absolutely gorgeous. I love how they take care of you here. I promise I'm only taking one, that's all I need." Her voice was low and sweet, as if talking to a small child, and he walked faster until he finally found the source of the sound. She was carefully removing one petal from a red plant. And she was talking to it.

Why would she talk to a plant? Was she stupid?

"What the bloody hell are you doing?" Severus asked slowly, almost without realizing it. If she was actually talking to a plant she had to be more of an idiot than he had initially thought.

Said thought was only reinforced when he paid attention to her appearance: she was barefoot, her shirt was rumpled and out of her skirt, which was folded and was shorter. Her tie was being used to keep her hair from falling. She jumped and brought her hand to her chest.

"Jesus, you nearly gave me a heart attack." She tried to joke but he didn't laugh. She rolled her eyes. "I'm allowed to be here, I have a note." She said before taking a piece of parchment out of her pocket and waving it with her hand in front of his face. He didn't realize he had moved closer.

"I didn't mean that, I mean why were you talking to a plant?" Her eyebrows shot up and her eyes widened.

"You are joking right?" His serious face showed that he wasn't. "Aren't you Severus Snape? I had been told you were good at Potions and Herbology. Not so good, apparently." She whispered mostly to herself with a dry laugh and turned again to her bowl, picking it with the rest of her stuff.

His face quickly morphed into anger and he barely resisted the urge to scream at her that she really was the idiot he had thought she was. She put her shoes on and tried to walk past him, but he grabbed her arm to stop her. They were really close now, and her heart was beating so fast she tought it was going to pop out of her chest.

"What is that supposed to mean?" He said, gritting his teeth.

"First of all." She said taking his hand from her arm and freeing herself, even though he didn't want to let her go. "If you ever grab me like that again I swear I'm going to make you pay for it." She said in a serious tone looking at him dead in the eye. He took a step back, realizing they were too close, and instantly looked at her with disdain.

"Second..." She added and the angry look disappeared from her face as fast as it came. "And just because I'm a good person and I know you're excellent at potions... yes, I was just trying to piss you off before..." She said while searching on her bag for something, while he looked at her with a confused frown. "Umm... no, no, not this one, no, Portuguese, Portuguese. Aha! Here we go." She said smiling as she pulled a book from her bag. "This is the only book I have on English that actually has some of what we learn in Brazil. I have tons of others that have the same things but they are on Portuguese, so you can keep this one. And before you ask, no. They can't be translated by any of your spells." She tried to hand him the book but he wouldn't take it, so she left it on the table. "I have to go, it's getting late. Read it, you'll see it probably has knowledge you've never heard of. Oh, and the answer to why was I talking to a plant is there." She said tapping the cover of the bok twice with her index finger and smiled at him before leaving.

The entire situation had him so confused that he spent a few good minutes just standing there, trying make some sense out of it.

What had just happened?

He looked at the book for some time before hesitantly putting it inside his bag and leaving, the original reason for his visit to the greenhouse completely forgotten.
