Silv was eating his lunch in the great hall when suddenly five adults walked in through the enormous double doors at the back of the room. One was a very stiff woman, her hair was in a stiff bun her back was rigid and even her speech was stiff sounding. She wore all green and her hat had a brown and black feather in the ribbon around the base of the hat. The second was a very short man, only half Silv's height his eyes were filled with an unending sense of mirth. Next was a woman who looked as if she had been gardening all day, in fact her hat looked like a very small planting pot. Her robes looked to almost be made of leaves and thus her clothes gave her the illusion of being faerie. Beside her were two men, one was large with a capitol "FREAKING HUGE", he was covered in leather clothes and had a pink umbrella with him, he was also very hairy with a beard that probably reached his navel and hair that was equally as long. The last man looked like he was terrified of something, like he thought he would be attacked at any moment. He wore black robes much like his father only dressier and a purple turban.

The first person to notice him was the LARGE man. He did a double take and then a triple take to make sure he was truly seeing a child in the great hall.

"Oii! What're you doin' here? Oi thought all the firs' years got on the train to go home… How'd you get back?"

Silv looked up and his eyes widened before he said, "My f-father is S-Severus S-Snape. H-He brought me here."

"Serverus? A father? How did this happen?" The stiff woman asked.

"Well you see Minerva," sounded his father sarcastically from behind him, "When a man loves a woman…"

"Severus I have never known you to have a sense of humor," Minerva said in a surprised tone.

"Minerva that was hardly humor that was merely sarcasm. I would like for you all to meet my son Silvanis, Silv these people are Professor McGonagall of Transfiguration, Professor Flitwick of Charms, Professor Sprout of Herbology, Hagrid Keeper of Keys and Grounds, and Professor Quirell of Defence Against the Dark Arts."

Each of them greeted him in their own way whether it was a large grin, a small smile, a fearful glance, or a nod. They all seemed happy to see him except for Quirell who still looked like something was going to jump out of the ground or walls and eat him. He smiled back at them and waved a bit.

"Severus how old is he?" Minerva asked, surely he would not be a first year, he was too small!

"He just turned 11 Minerva, when I found him he was staying with his mother's relatives and was living in the cupboard under the stairs and eating nothing but scraps and water. He had all the chores from what I gather and he was covered with abuse wounds the size of his uncle's fist."

Minerva and the other teachers and Hagrid's eyes all widened as they took in the small boy's appearance. He had endured all that? How could he? He was so young, it couldn't be true!

"The worst part was that it was Dumbledore who left him in their "care". "

"Albus did that? Why?"

"Ask him yourself Minerva."

"Ask me what?" came another voice, when they looked Dumbledore was just walking through the teachers' side doors.

Minerva turned with a murderous look in her eyes. She stomped up to him shaking with rage.

"Minerva, what-" SMACK! Minerva slapped him across the face. "How coul' ye? A WEE BAIRN! HOW DARE YE PUT A BAIRN IN THE CARE OF SUCH MONSTERS?" SMACK! She slapped him again and continued to scream obscenities at him, alternating between English and Gaelic, until Hagrid pulled her away.

"Minerva, I had no idea he would be treated poorly… Lily said-"WHAM! Severus punched the headmaster in the face. "How many times do I have to tell you old man to not speak her name in front of me? It is not your place and you disgrace her by looking at our son."

"Severus?" said Flitwick, "He said 'Lily'… the only Lily I know of that you know is Lily Evans, but she was married to Potter… how can this be?"

Suddenly all eyes were on Severus and he breathed a sigh and explained the situation, including how he and Lily had been married before Silvanis' birth, but Dumbledore had tricked them both causing the separation and Silvanis' current situation.

Every one of the Professors were outraged minus one whom was still looking around anxiously looking like he was going to have an anxiety attack.

Dumbledore, realizing there was no way of turning this in his favor decided to wait it out and let it blow over, because obviously while it was big now, eventually it would be trivial, and they would all be under his thumb once more. He then turned and walked straight back out the door.

~FLASHBACK~

Albus walked over to the fire as soon as Severus left and grabbed a handful of Floo Powder stepped into the fireplace and threw it down shouting Number Four Privet Drive, Surrey

When he stepped out of the Dursleys fireplace he found the Dursleys sitting in their living room looking flabbergasted and terrified. He took out his wand and pointed it at them, frightening them even more.

"Vernon, we had a deal, you were to break his spirit and I would pay you for your troubles. No one was supposed to know he lived here… how did Severus Snape find out that he was being KEPT HERE?" Albus was shouting at him now.

"I don't know! Please! He never left this place! I swear!"

"And what good is that? The word of a muggle? Filth!" Albus swore at them. "I would bet you were even kind to him! Treated him nicely didn't you?"

"NO! I beat him! Every day I beat him! And he would go days without eating! He would be forced to watch Dudley get birthdays, Easter, Halloween, and Christmas! HE never got them! I would lock him in the cupboard under the stairs for days! In the dark! With no food or water!"

"That is IT? That is all you could think of? Pathetic! Worthless muggle!"

Albus walked back to the fireplace and threw down the other half of the Floo powder and shouted Headmaster's Office Hogwarts.

~PRESENT~

On the opposite side of London from the Dursleys in the wealthy side of town, a little girl was reading in her room. She was about to nod off when she heard a tap tap tapping on her bedroom window. Giving a squeak when she saw an owl she hesitantly went to her window and let it in because she noticed something tied to its leg.

She pulled what looked to be a letter out of a string holding it in place in the owl's hold and read the address:

Ms Hermione Granger

Upstairs bedroom # 3 on the left

#### Blank St.

London, England #####

Hermione was startled but shrugged and opened her letter. She read it quickly and was surprised when it said:

Dear Ms. Granger,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Enclosed are the list of books and required items for this year and your ticket for the Hogwarts Express. Term starts September First, please notify us as to whether you will be attending this year. We will accept your owl no later than August Twenty-fifth.

Signed,

Deputy Head-Mistress

Minerva McGonagall

Hermione looked at the owl and asked out loud "Is that what you are waiting for? A reply?" When an affirmative hoot greeted her ears she nodded and rushed down to where her parents were eating lunch. It was their day off since they never worked on Fridays so she knew they would be there.

"Hermione!" said her very pregnant mother, "What is your rush dear?"

"Mum, I just got a letter from a school called Hogwarts saying I was accepted to go there… But the letter came through my window tied to an owl's leg!"

"Really? That is strange!" her mother laughed then, "Well it sounds like a good learning opportunity! Write them back a letter saying you will go!"

"Really mum? You don't think this was some kind of prank?"

"Hermione, does your average person write letters and then send them by owl to someone?"

"I guess not…"

"Well then I think it is legitimate"

"Alright mum… I will go write the letter then," Hermione conceded.

"Good girl," her mother said smiling as her father shook his head at his wife's antics.

UPDATE AN: Fixed some accents, and some wording. Made it more legible.
