Please review if you can it makes me so happy to hear from you. Have a wonderful day. Happy reading. :D -Sevy14

Ok, I can do this. I can do this. I can go in there and talk to him. I can do this. I can do this. Oh my god I can't do this. I can't do this. Positive. Be positive. You can do this. You can do this. Just knock on the door. He's just on the other side you can do this. You can do this. Just knock on the door. 1,2,3… Ok, that didn't work. Let's try this again. You can do this again. 1,2,3-

"Is there a reason why you're standing outside my door Miss. Granger?"

Oh my god. "Umm, yes sir. I would like to speak with you sir, if you have time before class sir." That wasn't so hard. Good job. Just keep breathing. Breath. Breath.

She wants to speak to me? Why? "You want to speak with me? Is this not somthing that your head of house cannot handle? I don't have time for usless banter from members of your house Miss. Granger." Why does she want to speak with me? Why isn't she scared of me like the rest of her house mates?

He certaintly is not a pleasant man. I can do this. I can do this. "No sir, this isn't somthing that I feel I can talk about with my head of house. You are actually the only one that can help me with this and I know that you're busy, but I would really appreciate five minutes of your time, if after that you don't want to hear any more then I will leave and wait for class to start, never to bring it up again. Promise sir." He is going to be so mad. I keep pushing it, I am going to get detention and lose a million house points. Stupid. Stupid.

She wants to speak with me that bad? Coming to me like this takes guts, especially from a first year. A first year gryffindor. Obviously she hasn't heard the rumours about me or just doesn't care, either way, she's an intriguing child. "Alright. You have five minutes Ms. Granger." We shall see how much courage she has, this should be interesting.

Well, this can't be that bad. Just breath. Look him in the eye, you aren't scared, just nervous, that's normal. "Thank you sir." Breath!

"I'm waiting Miss. Granger."

"Ok, well, you see sir, I'm uh... I uhh. I'm." Ok, you can do this. Breath. Look him in the eye and just tell him. Maybe a different approach. "Ok. Well, I am adopted sir. And I have this picture of my birth parents, and I... I um. I'm wondering if you're the man in the picture. I mean, sir, you see, you look so much like him and what she wrote about you is so dead on that I can't help but think that it's you. I just... I just want to know if it's you." Why is he looking at me like that? I can't believe I just said all that. He is going to give me detention for the next seven years. Way to go. "Sir? Sir? I'll just go now sir, sorry to bother you." That was very uncomfortable.

She actually came out and said it. I didn't think she had it in her. She really is a lot like her, but I can see myself in her too. This is very bad. If anyone found out... "Miss. Granger sit. You say that you think I am your father and that you have a photo that shows a man that appears to be me. I would like to see this photo."

"You want to see this photo?" Oh god. I'm never going to get it back. It's my only picture of her. "Um... Ok, would I get it back? It's my only picture of her."

"Are you accusing me of wanting to steal your photo Miss. Granger?" Why would she think that? I just want to see the damn picture.

"No sir. I just... It's just that it's my only picture of her and I just got it and well, it's the only thing aside from her writings that I have of her so it's just very important to me sir. I didn't mean to offend you sir, honest." Way to go idiot. Piss him off just before class and during this conversation. Stupid move.

"Yes well, I would like to see the photo Miss. Granger."

"Here. And it's dated on the back sir, it was taken eleven months before I was born sir." You're doing good. Don't freak out. Don't freak out. Just breath. Just breath. He doesn't appear to be mad but he is the head of Slytherin, so appearences can be decieving. Breath. He appears to be in a trance. It's weird, he doesn't even look like the Professor Snape that the students see. Just very calm. "Sir? Do you know the woman in this picture, do you know my mother?"

"Um Miss. Granger where did you get this photo?" I haven't seen this since the day she left me.

"From my mother sir, she left it to me in a journal of hers. Sir, are you the man in the photo?"

"Miss Granger what I am going to tell you will be in the strictest of confidence and I think it will have to be saved for a later day, time and in the presence of the headmaster." I must speak with Albus, before I tell her anything.

"Umm, ok. Sir may I have my photo back please?" He is being so weird, why can't he just tell me what I want to know, is it that hard?

"Miss Granger, I suggest that you find your way to class because you have five minutes before you are late and we wouldn't want that now would we?" Back to your old self again are you? Be civil and then turn back around and be the angry bat of the dungeons, good idea Snivellous.

"Yes sir." Well that was certaintly rude. No doubt I will be picked on today in class. "Thank you for your time sir."

"Remember Miss Granger, nothing that you have said to me today leaves this office am I understood? We will talk with the headmaster in due time, until then, keep your trap shut." One can only hope that she can actually do that even if she isn't capable during class to do so.

"Yes sir." That was very rude.

Well, another chapter done. I hope that you found it entertaining even though it is short. I apologize for that. I look forward to hearing from you. Happy reading. -Sevy 14
