A couple days later Severus and Remus were taking Buffy out to Diagon Alley for her school supplies and a wand. After shopping they were going to head to 12 Grimmauld Place to introduce Buffy to the rest of the order; and of course her 'godmother'. Remus had told Buffy all about Sirius being framed, and she had told him that it sounded like something that would happen to her. Buffy had bonded with both Remus and Severus so they were trying to get along for her; this however only lasted when she was in the room. Although she actually had gotten close to Severus and started to call him dad, she still made vampire, and Dracula jokes.
The first stop was Gringotts, Severus set up an account for Buffy so she would not have to keep coming to him for money, but he was adamant that he was going to pay for all her school supplies. Next Remus decided to buy Buffy an owl, so they went to Eeylops Owl Emporium. Buffy instantly fell in love with a pure black owl with vibrant green eyes; she named the female owl, Athena. Buffy thought it went with her lifestyle. Next they went into Flourish and Blotts to get Buffy her sixth year books plus a few from the other years for her to read and use to catch up over the summer. Next was Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions for Buffy's school robes, while she was in the store she found beautiful dress robes, there were two one full length and one that ended above her knee. The floor length was a form fitting gold/cream colour with a cross back and rhinestones on the straps. The second dress was a, above the knee, halter dress in an eggplant colour with rhinestone decor. When Remus saw her eying the dresses he slipped her a bit of extra money, so she did not have to spend all the money she took out of Gringotts, and he told her that he would distract her father. Buffy smiled at him. When she finished gathering her school robes and the extra dress robes she purchased they moved on, they finished up by gathering up a cauldron and potion supplies plus parchment and some quills. Their last stop was Ollivander's to get Buffy her wand. She tried a whole bunch of wands and none worked, they all ended up causing a lot of damage to the inside of Ollivander's wand shop. The trio had been there for about an hour and a half before Ollivander said, "Of course! Why did I not see it sooner?" as he raced to the back of the store. The trio looked at each other confused. About five minutes later he came back holding a box, "Try this one." When Buffy tried the wand it set off lots of colourful sparks.
Severus spoke up first clearly happy that they found a wand finally, "What is the wand made of?"
"This particular wand is made of ebony wood with a hair of the very first slayer as the core, plus it was soaked in holy water and the blood of the vampires in the Scourge of Europe, Darla, Angelus, Drusilla and Spike. It is also 13 inches long." Ollivander explained.
"Oh my god, this is perfect! I can't believe it has Angel's blood with it." Buffy said without realizing.
The three males turn to her, eyebrows raised, "Angel?"
Buffy bit her lip, "Did I forget to mention that I know Angelus except he has his soul so he would rather be called Angel."
"You know ANGELUS! Do you have any idea how dangerous he is?!?!" Severus all but yelled at Buffy.
"Look I am fine, not a scratch on me, plus it doesn't hurt that he likes me." With that Buffy grabbed the wand and headed for the door, "Don't forget to pay." Then she left the store with Severus looking dumbfounded and Remus half smirking and half shocked. Severus paid Ollivander and he and Remus left the shop to see Buffy standing outside the door.
"So you guys ready to head to meet my 'godmother'?" Buffy asked.
Remus suddenly got a smirk on his face, "Severus and I decided it would be more fun if he found out about that from you; in front of everyone, as well as the fact that you are Severus' daughter."
Buffy burst out laughing as she grabbed her father's arm as the trio apparated to the front of Grimmauld Place. Remus gave Buffy the piece of paper to memorize; when she did it burst into flames. She pictured it and there it appeared. The trio entered the house, Remus made a hand gesture that told Buffy to be as quiet as possible, and they crept past Mrs. Black's painting. Once they were outside the kitchen, Remus and Severus told Buffy the plan, since there was an order meeting tonight, and it was supper time everyone was in the kitchen. Buffy waited outside as the duo entered the kitchen.
Once they got into the kitchen they greeted everyone and sent a wink to Dumbledore whose eyes were twinkling more than usual. They talked for about a minute before Buffy came in, "Hey daddy-oh I think it is time for your nightly meal of blood." Remus was holding in his laughter because he and Severus had told Buffy to make a funny comment that mentioned him as her father but she had to go all out. The rest of the table looked confused as to who this girl was and who her father was.
Severus shook his head, "I told you how many times already that I am not a vampire." You could hear gasps coming from everyone around the table as well as a few snickers coming from the children who realized Buffy was calling Snape a vampire. Sirius seemed to enjoy this comment the most.
Dumbledore stood up, "This is Buffy Snape, her mother just died and she found her birth certificate with Severus' name on it, and found my name on a few forms in a box so she contacted me. She will be attending Hogwarts as a sixth year and she will be learning the first five years of magic over the rest of the summer from the teachers at Hogwarts."
"Let me guess a Slytherin like dear old dad." Sirius replied.
Buffy smirked over at her father who was glowering, "Nope."
Sirius catching the smirk and glare decided to ask, "What is he mad at did you end up in Hufflepuff?"
Buffy smirked again and chuckled along with Remus and Minerva at her father's behaviour. Then Minerva spoke up, "No she will be joining the 6th year Gryffindors."
That made everyone burst into laughter. Remus spoke up, "You should have seen his face."
Buffy already knowing who Sirius was decided to play with him a little, "So who are you?" she asked so innocently, that she had Severus and Remus snorting and wondering what she was up to.
Sirius looked over at her, "I am Sirius Black."
Buffy feigned excitement and stated really ditzy, "Really! Oh my god. It can't be!"
The people who had met Buffy before and knew the relation between the two were trying so hard to hold in their laughter. Then Buffy continued, "My mom told me all about you, however I figured you were a girl. I mean what kind of man is a godmother." That got everyone except Sirius going at the girl comment. This was until Sirius spoke up, "Godmother?"
"Oh yeah mom told me all about my godparents, I guess my life is not normal enough to have a female godmother. So both my godparents are male." This got Sirius going, he was barking out laughing.
When Sirius stopped he thought, "Wait if I am your godmother, who is your godfather? Please tell me it is not Malfoy."
"If you mean Lucius Malfoy then no my mom did not care for him that much. My godfather is Moony over there. He told me it was because he was manlier than you." Sirius glared over at Remus.
Remus started to stutter, "N-n-no I-I..." With that Buffy burst out laughing and she said, "I was kidding, you know joking around." Everyone was laughing while Remus turned red.
Sirius got a funny look on his face, "Why did your mother not like Lucius?"
Buffy looked at him, "Probably the same reason she left my father when she was pregnant with me and never told me that the man, who divorced her and ditched us to go Spain with his secretary, was not my father. He was a death eater."
Sirius looked at her and contemplated, "Blonde hair, green eyes, really short..... oh my god Joanna."
Buffy looked surprised but that did not stop her, "Ding ding ding, give the man a prize." The twins snorted at this.
"Your mother is Joanna, Lily's friend Joanna, Snape's fiancée Joanna." Sirius managed to say.
Severus said dryly, "Wow the man is on a roll."
Kingsley and Tonks looked to each other before they both spoke up and asked the questions everyone was dying to ask, "Who is Joanna? What is her last name?" "What does she have to do with Lucius Malfoy?"
A/N I am trying to get some of the story done now, but if I don't get time then I am going to work on all my stories during the 2 week Christmas holidays.
