Signs Of The Times

by heathersinclair1

In her seventh year, Severus Snape is the new Headmaster of Hogwarts. Unbeknownst to the Professor, Heather Sinclair is carrying his unexpected child. She begs for an abortion from the Potions Master, but Severus will not hear of it. Things take a turn for the worst when Heather discovers Severus is aiding Voldemort.

2. Chapter 2

"But what if I wanted one?" I protested. "I'm too young to be a mother. Too inexperienced."

The Headmaster shot me a glare. "Your opinion on the matter is irrelevant. I am the father and I will choose his fate!"

"You can't tell me what to do with my baby." I snapped. I got up and turned to leave the room. "You're only after Harry to kill him. That's all every single one of you is, a murderer. No different than Voldemort."

"You dare speak his name? Do not make judgements of affairs you know nothing about, Miss Sinclair." Severus retorted. "My child will be born. I shall see to that personally."

"Fuck you, sir." I said as I opened the door.

Severus waved his wand and the door slammed back shut. "I suppose you still lack respect for your superiors, Miss Sinclair. You are not finished. Do you mean to tell me you know nothing of Potter's whereabouts?"

"I don't." I told him.

Severus took a deep breath and sighed it from his lungs. "Sit back down."

"For what?"

"Must I drag you myself?" He threatened.

I shrugged and sat down.

Severus took out a vial from his robes. The fluid inside was clear. He handed it to me. "Drink." The command was not a request.

I drank the liquid and opened my mouth to show him I swallowed the contents.

"Now, Miss Sinclair." Severus began. "What is your name and how old are you?"

"My name is Heather Sinclair and I am seventeen years old." I answered in surprise.

Severus smirked. He knew what he was doing. Veritaserum, huh?

"Are you truly pregnant, Miss Sinclair?" He continued. "And if so, am I truly the father of your child?"

"Yes, I am pregnant and you are the father."

"Tell me, Miss Sinclair." The dark Professor circled my chair. "Where is Harry Potter?"

"I don't know." I answered automatically. My lips were moving as if under a spell.

Severus breathed a sigh. "Very well. You truly do not know. You may go, Miss Sinclair."

I got up and went to open the door before he interjected.

"And Miss Sinclair-"

I turned back.

Severus locked eyes with me in an intense gaze. "I will be watching you closely. No harm will come to you or our child."

I nodded and hurriedly opened the door and left to be escorted back to class by Alecto.

Black eyes lingered on the spot where I stood. A dramatic sigh was released from his lungs as Severus turned back to the dreary large window.
