Yes, the sorting again...kinda...I'm still not Rowling and I still don't own HP...that's never gonna change...so I hope you like Chap 4, Unknown and Unforgotten. please R/R
Severus watched the first years file in and his mind traveled back to days when he didn't sit at the teachers' table but at the Slytherin table. He was so excited, even Lucius could tell something was going to happen.
"Severus, what has you so excited?"
"My sister, it's her first year. She's being sorted today."
Bellatrix leaned across the table.
"You've got a sister? Which one is she?"
"She's right there, with your cousin Regulus."
Lucius' jaw dropped.
"Your sister's quite the looker, Severus."
Severus' eyes narrowed.
"Leave her alone."
Bellatrix grabbed Lucius by the front of his robes.
"You wouldn't be thinking of cheating on my sister, now would you?"
"No, never. Where is my lovely Narcissa, anyway?"
"Right here, Lucius, my love."
Severus rolled his eyes and concentrated once again on the sorting until he heard the voices of two Gryffindors.
"Hey, Remus."
"Yeah, James?"
"Check out that first year!"
"Which one?"
"The one by Sirius' git brother."
"She's....stunning."
"Almost as good looking as....say....Evans."
It was all Severus could do to walk right over and flatten their faces. He couldn't stand the thought of scum like them even being present in the same room with his baby sister, much less comparing her to that ...that mudblood.
"Black, Regulus."
"Slytherin!"
"Yeah, Regulus!" shouted Narcissa.
"There's a true Black for you!" shouted Bellatrix.
It seemed to take forever to get to the S's and then suddenly Professor McGonagall's next words pulled Severus out of his thoughts.
"Snape, Alaina."
Severus held his breathe in anticipation as the sorting hat was placed on Alaina's head. A few nerve racking moments later, the hat screamed out.
"Slytherin!"
Alaina dropped the hat and ran down to her brother.
"Severus! Severus! Did you hear? I'm a Slytherin, just like you!"
"That's great, Alaina, have a seat right here."
Severus moved his book bag and made room for his sister. Alaina looked around at the people looking at her.
"You must be my brother's friends, am I right?"
"Correct as usual, Alaina."
Lucius Malfoy smiled, although even his friendliest smile was dark and sinister in Alaina's mind.
"I am Lucius Malfoy and this is my girlfriend Narcissa Black."
"I'm Bellatrix, Narcissa is my sister. Over there is my boyfriend Rodolphus Lestrange and his brother Rabastan. This is my little cousin, Regulus."
"Hello, all of you. I'm so glad I finally get to meet my brother's friends. My name is Alaina Snape."
Severus was suddenly shaken from his memories by Professor Quirell.
"I b-b-bet y-y-you're overj-j-joyed that y-y-young An-n-nanda is a S- s-slytherin like yours-s-s-self, eh, S-s-severus?"
"Quite so."
"I h-h-have some i-i-important n-n-news for you, S-s-severus, the s-s- son of J-j-j-james P-p-potter is enr-r-rolled in the s-s-s-same f-f-first y- y-year class as An-n-n-nanda."
"Thank you, Quirell."
Professor Dumbledore finished his speech and the feast appeared before them. Severus barely touched his food, wanting nothing more than for the feast to be over so he could find Ananda.
When Severus found Ananda, she was standing at the top of the Slytherin staircase talking to a boy. Severus smiled; glad Ananda had already made a friend. Then he paused after seeing the boy's face, he was Draco Malfoy, Lucius' son. Maybe he should...no, Ananda didn't need to know, He wasn't coming back.
