The next morning was buzzing at Hogwarts everyone knew that Snape's daughter was coming and would be there in a few hours. No one had ever seen Severus Snape look so nervous and jittery.
Buffy had said goodbye to her friends the night before and the only person with her now was Giles. Giles was there to see her off. She was portkeying to Hogsmeade and getting met there by a Professor McGonagall, who would take her up to Hogwarts. Buffy hugged Giles goodbye, grabbed her luggage and touched the portkey giving Giles one last look.
When she finally got to Hogsmeade she almost lost her balance but managed to stay up thanks to her slayer skills. There was an older woman standing there waiting for her. The woman walked over to Buffy and held out her hand, "I am Professor McGonagall; I teach Transfiguration at Hogwarts and am the Head of House for Gryffindor. You must be Professor Snape's daughter. However, you look exactly like your mother."
Buffy looked at her and replied, "Nice to meet you, however I would like you to call me Buffy. It is the nickname my mom gave me when I was younger because I did not like the name Elizabeth. It seemed too serious. And thanks I love it when people tell me I look like my mother. I have seen pictures from when she was younger and she was gorgeous."
"She was, now let's get you up to Hogwarts. We have a bet on how long the floor will last before he wears it down completely with his pacing. By the way he knows nothing about kids, or teenagers in your case, so you might have to bear with him."
"I can do that. And after I meet him I would love to meet my godparents sometime soon."
"Dumbledore had not told us who your godparents are."
"Oh I know he said he wanted me to be able to see everyone's faces, because if they are anything like his it will be hilarious. I am pretty sure he was speechless."
"Dumbledore speechless, I never thought I would see the day." The two women laugh and continue their journey up to Hogwarts. As they were walking McGonagall told Buffy about the wizard that was her father, Severus Snape.
They were met at the front doors by Dumbledore. Buffy walked over and hugged him, "Nice place you have here, quite big." That was all she said, which left McGonagall speechless at the understatement.
"Yes I am quite fond of it, now all the teachers, some having come back from vacation to meet you, are in the Great Hall having lunch."
"Okay Dumbledore lead the way." The three continued down the hall McGonagall silently watching Buffy and Dumbledore chat like they had known each other for years not for less than a month. They continued to talk like this as they walked into the Great Hall, actually as everyone turned towards them they were in the midst of a debate on Lemon Drops. The looks on the professors' faces were priceless and made Buffy giggle. Then she looked around as the staff waited for her reaction to the Great Hall. Buffy looked around and then said nonchalantly, "Wow cool roof, never seen something like that before. This place is pretty big." After that she had to giggle again at the expressions on the professors' faces again this time Dumbledore chuckled also. Buffy took this time to examine the professors, she pointed to Severus, "So who is the vampire wannabee?"
Everyone cracked up laughing as Snape scowled. Dumbledore calmed down the fastest, "That is Severus Snape, the potions master and your father."
"Oh of course it is. I guess I got my looks from my mom."
Snape growled, "And what is that supposed to mean."
Buffy replied sarcastically with a smirk on her face, "Oh yeah I definitely see the resemblance, how could I not see it before I got my long blonde hair, green eyes and my shortness from you."
Dumbledore snorted, the professors laughed and Snape smirked.
McGonagall replied this time, "Yes she is definitely your daughter, I see she has your sense of humour, smirk and half your attitude."
"Of course, so what are we going to do now daddy," she said in a sweet little voice and a pout on her face. Everyone turned to Severus and saw his hard expression start to slide away, you could see him caving.
