Forbidden Fruit

Chapter Three

If you have ever had a moment in your life where you felt as if the world stopped turning or hell had frozen over or any other metaphors of that sort, you would then understand how the Great Hall felt after Dumbledore's last words. Snape has a child? A girl for that matter. Who was she? Why is she here now? All of these questions were buzzing through everyone's mind.

If anyone, Harry was more surprised than anyone. He despised Snape, and everything he stood for. The fact that Snape had a child made him gag. And he wasn't the only one that felt this way.

"SNAPE?!" Harry heard Ron yell out, "SNAPE HAS A DAUGHTER?!"

"This is something none of us would have expected, huh?" Hermione said, still in shock.

"This is just wrong," Harry finally spoke, "This is sick."

Harry looked over at Severus's seat again. He wasn't shaking anymore, in fact he looked very much calm now. Harry guessed that Severus knew this would be the reaction everyone would get so he had to deal with it. "Poor guy," Harry thought sarcastically, "He's gonna really get it this year from all of us. No one will let him live this down."

Harry hadn't noticed how loud the Great Hall had gotten. Everyone was in an uproar about what they had just learned. Then Harry heard Dumbledore in anger.

"SILENCE!" He screamed.

The Great Hall froze, no one dare spoke another word.

Everyone could sense Dumbledore's anger as well, "This is not Hogwarts behavior what so ever! Yes, I understand the reason for the uproar, but I will only take it once. After Miss Violet walks through those doors, I want you all to treat her with the greatest respect."

The Great Hall was deadly silent. But Harry could sense everyone's thoughts. Everyone was so curious about this new girl.

Harry heard Ron whisper to him, "Imagine it, mate. If we thought Snape was ugly, think of what his daughter would look like?! She'll be hideous, just watch."

Harry said nothing, he was too excited to speak.

"Again, please welcome, Violet Adora Snape!"


Violet was getting nervous. What was going on in there? She heard silence, then yells, then silence again. O god, this was making her tummy turn. "NO!" she told herself, "Now's not the time to get sick. You have to do this. It's what you've always wanted."

Then suddenly, the doors began to open. Her heart stopped.

It was time.


Harry saw the doors begin to open. Everyone was holding their breath. So nervous to see the mysterious daughter of the evil Severus Snape.

That was when Harry first saw her...

His jaw dropped, along with the rest of the Great Hall. No one could believe their eyes.

This couldn't be the daughter of Severus Snape. No way. This couldn't even be his third cousin. That girl standing at the door way was...was flawless. No big nose, no creepy smile. Nothing. This girl actually seemed pleasant, and, could he dare say, attractive.

She began to walk down between the four long tables. Her eyes were straight forward. It seemed to Harry she was trying not to make eye contact with anyone. Harry could hear whispers everywhere around the Great Hall. None of them bad though. All of them seemed very promising.

"Look at her" he heard one say, "She's a beaut."

"There's no way that's Snape's kid," he heard another, "Just look at her!"

Harry continued to stare at her. Her long black hair flowing behind her. Harry had to admit, this moment to him was like something out of a romance film. As he continued to look at her, he noticed her head began to turn, she looked right at him. He froze. He noticed her eyes for the first time. They were purple. Deep purple. Harry had never seen such eyes. It was like they were going right through his soul. It gave him chills.

Harry could tell right then and there that this was not you ordinary girl...


Violet looked around the Great Hall. There were more students then she had hoped for. Way more. All of them were staring at her. She could feel millions of eyes studying her from head to toe. She couldn't move for a moment. All of this was almost too much for her.

"Get a grip!" she told herself, "These are just teenagers! Just like you! They won't just jump up and hurt you! Just walk down the aisle and keep your eyes straight forward."

She took a deep breath and began to walk. As she was walking she noticed the increase in whispers around her. "O god" she thought, "Their talking about me, I know it."

She finally decided to take a look at her audience. She slowly began to turn her head to the right side of the Great Hall. She saw some students dressed in yellow and some in red. But she noticed one boy in red.

That was when she first saw him...

He had been looking at her, amongst the rest of the world. She felt as if she's seen this boy before, somewhere. His hair was blackish-brown and very messy, but it suited him well. He had ridiculous large glasses, but again, they fitted him well.

Then she noticed his eyes. His eyes were magnificent, she thought. They were a bright green. She had never seen such a bright green. They captured her heart in a way. Yes indeed, these were a set of eyes she would never forget...


Harry finally ended his gaze with the girl once she faced Professor Dumbledore. He smiled at her nicely and took her hand.

"Hello Violet," He started, "I am Professor Albus Dumbledore. And let me be the first to say we are all happy that you could join us here at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

"You have no idea how happy," Harry thought to himself.

"Please," he continued, "take a seat on the stool and I will sort you into a house."

The girl took a seat on the stool just as she was told. Harry began to worry. She seemed a bit nervous...


Violet was terrified. This was the moment she had been the most afraid of this whole evening. This will be the moment she will find out at last what she truly was.

A Slytherin or a Gryffindor.

She knew about her parents and their lives in Hogwarts. She knew her father was a true Slytherin through and through. He was smart, slick, and always knew how to get his way. Yes, he was very cunning indeed.

But then there was her mother. Her mother was a true Gryffindor. So brave, so noble. She always put others before herself and cared so much for everyone, no matter who they were. She was a kind person indeed.

Violet even admitted herself that she had inherited both traits from her parents. She had her mother's kindness, defiantly. But yet she also had her father's slick way of getting whatever she wanted. How else did she get here after all?

She didn't want to disappoint her father. He never told her, but she knew very well that he wanted her so badly to be in Slytherin. Just like his father, and his father before him. She knew he didn't want to chain to break.

But then again, she wasn't so sure if she could be a true Slytherin he wants her to be. What if she had too much Gryffindor in her? She wasn't sure if that was where she truly belonged. Well, the sorting hat should find out soon enough...


Harry sat there and continued to stare at the girl. He was nervous about what house she would be chosen into. He knew the chances of Slytherin were high. After all, her father was Snape for God's sakes. How more Slytherin could you get than that?

But at the same time, Harry in a way wanted her to be sorted into Gryffindor. He knew the chances were low, but he really wanted to meet this girl. He wasn't sure, but he knew there was something about her. Something he'd never seen in another girl before...


Dumbledore placed the Sorting Hat on Violet. As soon as it touched her head, it came to life.

"Hmm," he said with a groan, "One more I see."

Violet flinched, "This shit talks?!"

"Ah," he spoke, "A Snape I see. Thought I'd never see one of you again."

Silence. The Sorting Hat sat there for a long time, deciding.

"Ooo, this one is difficult, very difficult. Your blood runs highly like a snake, but your heart roars like a lion. Very difficult..."


"What the bloody hell is that hat talking about," Harry heard Ron whisper to Hermione.

"I'm not too sure, but I think he's saying that her bloodline belongs to Slytherin, but her heart belongs to Gryffindor. Lets see."

This made Harry's heart jump. Mabey she will be in Gryffindor...


"What the bloody hell is this hat talk about?!" Violet thought to herself.

The silence continued for awhile more. All of this was making Violet so nervous, she was almost shaking. She couldn't take so much patience.

"Okay," the hat finally spoke, "I've made a decision..."

Everyone leaned in to listen, waiting for the old hat to speak again.

The hat took a deep breath, "Let it be..."
