"I thought we could sit down and get to know each other," Snape replied.

"Wait, I think she should get sorted first and then we can sit down and find out a bit about her, don't you think," Dumbledore said.

"Great idea! I'll get the hat," McGonagall said as she walked out of the Great Hall.

While they were waiting Trelawney walked up to Buffy and said, "I see a dark future for you death is coming." Snape looked extremely furious, however Buffy looked at her and said, "Will you tell him I said hello. That pesky bugger keeps following me around. I personally think that he is stalking me." With that Trelawney looked appalled and the rest of the Professors were stifling their laughter, except Severus who snorted. That made the professors stop for a minute, they had never heard him snort or laugh before so this was a first for him.

Snape decided it was to long of a wait and asked, "So Buffy where did you grow up?"

"I grew up in Los Angeles, but after my parents got divorced and I got expelled my mom and I moved to Sunnydale; also, known as Sunnyhell due to the fact that it is a hell mouth."

The teachers looked appalled and Flitwick was the first to ask, "Why did you get expelled?"

Buffy looked at the teachers, "Oh that was not my fault; you see my watcher had just gotten killed and the master vamps minions were attacking the school dance so I kind of set fire to the gym to kill the vamps. However telling my parents that story was a bad idea. I guess my mom had forgotten the magic world because she and my dad put me in an insane asylum, but I quickly caught on to what they wanted me to say so I just said it and I got out after three weeks."

Most of the professors remembered Joanna Malfoy and they were wondering what had happened to her for her to do that to her own daughter. "So let's talk about your education," said Dumbledore breaking the silence. "I need to know what name to register you under; since Severus and Joanna were never married on your birth certificate you have two names, so you can go by Snape, Malfoy, or Malfoy-Snape. It is your choice or you can stick with Summers as I do not know the maiden name your mom made up."

Buffy thought about it for a minute and after what Dumbledore had told her about the Malfoys, plus the hopeful look on her father's face, and then she replied, "I am going to use the last name Snape, if you don't mind." Snape looked extremely happy, "Oh and mom used the maiden name Potter." This made the professors burst out laughing and Snape to scowl. "What is so funny?"

McGonagall came in to hear the last two statements and replied, "Well Potter was the last name of one of his biggest school rivals."

"Let me guess the others was Black and Lupin, weren't they."

Everyone looked surprised and Snape asked, "How did you know that?"

"Well it seems that mom was not very happy with you because, let us all see the irony, my godfather is Remus Lupin and you have to guess my godmother?"

Everyone looked absolutely shocked, and then when they turned to Severus they had to laugh at the look of disgust on his face. Severus then said to no one in particular, "You have got to be kidding me! First she doesn't tell me I have a daughter and then she makes an imbecile my daughter's godfather!"

"Wait, stop Severus, her mother had a weird sense of humour, now her godmother, anyone want to take a guess?" Dumbledore asked everyone went silent. "No okay now tell them Buffy and you will be happy you did not miss this."

"Well my godmother is not exactly a mother because it is not a women, it is a man by the name of Sirius Black." Buffy replied as nonchalant as possible. Severus didn't move his mouth just opened and closed like a fish. "I think I broke him," Buffy said in a serious tone, then she started giggling; along with all the other professors as well.

"Well, let us get you sorted into a house, here put on the hat," Dumbledore said.

Buffy put on the hat.

Well who do we have here, why I have waited for the Malfoy-Snape kid for years.

You knew about me?

Well of course, now let us figure out your house. Well your bravery would make you a great addition into Gryffindor, but your intelligence could also make you a great addition to Ravenclaw.

Intelligence, everyone seems to think I am a dumb blonde.

I know that is what you want them to think. I am thinking Ravenclaw would suit you quite a bit.

But then people will know I am smart, I do not want the professors to know that yet, I want them to figure that out on their own.

Ok then I guess it ought to be........ GRYFFINDOR!

Buffy looked over at the staff and McGonagall looked happy, however her father did not.

McGonagall walked over closer to her, "There actually is no more room in the 6th year girls' dorm so you are going to have to room with the 7th year girls. Don't worry I bet you will fit in great with them. Now for tutoring over the summer, we will help with whatever you need help with, however once you get your school supplies we thought we would leave you on your own to study if that is alright with you."

"Yeah that is perfectly fine," answered Buffy.

Snape turned towards his daughter, "I thought that we could go today and then you could have tomorrow to explore Hogwarts before we start you're catching up. How does that sound?"

Before she could answer the doors to the Great Hall opened and in walked Remus Lupin. He walks up to the table, "Sorry I am late; I had a bit of trouble dealing with a whiny dog." He turns and sees Buffy, "Hello, you must be Severus' daughter. I am Remus Lupin."

Buffy looked surprised, and then got excited, "Hi! I'm Buffy. So you are my godfather, hmmm."

Remus looked surprised, "Godfather? Of Severus' daughter? Me?"

Severus scowled at him, "Yes it seems Joanna decided to spite me, she even used the maiden name Potter when she went to the United States."

Remus laughed, "What next Sirius as her godmother?"

Buffy nodded excitedly, "Yes actually. I thought it was a bit strange having a man as my godmother, but what the hell, it is not like my life can get any weirder."

Remus was almost in tears, "She actually made Sirius your godmother! He will love that! So what house are you going to be in? Because Severus was in Slytherin and Joanna was in Ravenclaw."

McGonagall stepped forward proud, "Actually she is joining the 6th year Gryffindors this year."

A/N Trelawney had left after Buffy's comment, and the only professors in the hall were the ones in the Order of Phoenix, so that is why they talked about Sirius a little, while not saying bad things like he was a traitor and other stuff like that. In the beginning I used both the last names because that is how it was on her birth certificate because her parents were not married, so her mother put both on. She will only be using one during the school year.
