With her teacup in hand she turned around to face them. As soon as she saw them she dropped her cup in shock.
"Oh damn!" she exclaimed, ignoring the shattered teacup and spilt tea on the floor.
"Annalise?" cried Snape. The woman quickly pulled out her wand and sent a spell flying towards Snape, paralyzing him from chest down. Snape, who had seen her reach for her wand had also sent a spell towards her, but she dodged it. After her spell hit Snape, Dumbledore, McGonagall, Mr. Weasley, Tonks, Lupin, Mad-Eye all sent spells towards her but they missed her because she had ducked behind the counter. As they waited for her to come out from her hiding spot, they kept their wands level.
"Dad?" the woman said from behind the counter. Harry, Hermione, and Ron looked at Snape from underneath the invisibility cloak, their eyes wide in shock.
"Annalise." Said a breathless Dumbledore. "Come out from behind the counter, my child."
"I was just trying to make sure that it was really you. You didn't have to try to hex me." Annalise said as she came out from behind the counter.
"Well you could of have told us that before you started to cast a spell." Tonks said.
"Yes, I should have hesitated, and then if you were really imposters you could have killed me." Annalise said. "Next time I will remember to do that."
"Annalise, that's enough you have some explaining to do." Said Dumbledore.
"Before you begin explaining could you be so kind as to undo your spell?" asked Snape.
"Yes, of course."Annalise replied as she flicked her wand. "Now, before I explain anything, you three can take off the invisibility cloak. You are safe here."
After Harry, Ron, and Hermione, removed the cloak, Annalise continued, "You should also know that I didn't want to do this but I had no choice. And I never thought that you would find out."
"You never wanted to do this? Why did you do it? It seems like you are just fine with the arrangement. You seem more disturbed that we have found you." Snape said angrily.
"You have no right to reprimand me. Do you think that I liked the idea of abandoning my family? I'm not like you. I was happy with my life. I didn't have a choice. I had to leave." Retorted Annalise.
"You had to leave. Even if you had to leave why did you take the baby?" asked Snape. "I could have taken care of her."
"Yes, you could have taken care of the baby, but I wasn't about to let her grow up among Death Eaters. By the way, how are all of your Death Eater friends? I guess you are spending a lot of time with them since Riddle is back." Said Annalise.
"Annalise! That is enough!" yelled Dumbledore. Harry, Hermione, and Ron had never seen him look so mad. He was shaking as he spoke. "You know that Severus had no choice. He is now spying for the Order. Just tell us why we left."
"I know that he had not choice and is now spying for the Order it was an obvious solution." Answered Annalise. "You are always fixing things and making everything better. That's why you will be mad about my reason for leaving, because you will think that you could have fixed it and everything would alright, but it wouldn't be. I had to do it this way; I couldn't have you butting in."
"How do you know? You didn't even let me try." Answered Dumbledore. Annalise looked like she was going to reply but stopped when she saw Professor McGonagall walkout of the kitchen and into the living room.
"Mum!" cried Annalise as she went after McGonagall.
"I just need to sit down for awhile. This is all overwhelming. And the arguing doesn't help." Professor McGonagall said as she sat down in a chair.
"I'm sorry Mum." Annalise said as she knelt down beside Professor McGonagall. "Forgive me I didn't mean to hurt you."
"Wait! Are you telling me that not only does Snape have a daughter but he is also married to McGonagall?" Ron exclaimed.
"What? No! Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall are my parents. Professor Snape is my husband." Answered Annalise.
"Sorry! I…umm…yea. Okay." Said Ron as he slowly hid behind Harry.
"My dear, Annalise, why don't you just tell us why you left." Professor McGonagall said. "No one will interrupt you."
"Okay." Annalise said.
