See all this, not mine.
Anna settled into a seat at the head of a large table, she was as big as the knight bus and moving was harder by the minuet. It was almost a week after her birthday but she was having her second party, the big one with everyone invited. And when Anna invites everyone she invites everyone. There were all the hard core death eaters huddled in a corner trying to figure out how to kill someone without Anna noticing. The Hardcore Order members on the opposite end trying to do the same, then there were those like Fred and George who were just trying to have fun.
"I hate parties, I hate people, and I hate life." Severus grumbled.
He walked himself into a safe corner, happy to be away from everyone else as far as possible. Of course that didn't last long.
"Oh come now Severus, what are you doing all the way over there." Narcissa scuttled over cheerily.
"Come, come Anna is opening presents." She seemed to drag him by his arm to the table again.
Once in a seat wedged between Anna and Dumbledore, Severus tried to just blankly stare at the wall and ignore everyone, but that also didn't work out. "So tell me Severus," Dumbledore began light heartedly trying to converse with him.
"What did you get Annabell for her birthday?"
Snape turned and gave him a blank cold look; this of course didn't fade the twinkle in his eye.
"Nothing, I got her nothing" He turned back to stare at the wall.
"Really well let's hope she doesn't find that as much of a pity as I do." Dumbledore sighed and looked up the table at Anna.
Severus followed his eyes and landed on Anna, she was talking with Ronald as she opened his gift; it was nice broom riding gloves.
"Thanks Ron," she smiled at him.
Anna grabbed the shiny paper that had tiny dancing bananas on it. She loved Luna, inside was a homemade cape of deep pink SUPER BANANA! It stitched on the back.
"Whoo!" Anna stood up and threw the cape on and placed her hands on her hips.
"Super Banana…"
"And Super Birdie!" Luna jumped up her own Lavender cape on.
The two laughed and Anna slid back in her seat ignoring the odd looks of her Deatheater friends.
She took the next gift in line, From Tonks she was excited, Tonks always got really cool stuff. This time however, when she opened the box, there was a soft light pink anagrammed baby blanket. Black Sheep Generation 3 it said in a darker pink.
"Oh, thanks, but isn't this like a baby shower gift?"
"Just open it Anna," Tonks rolled her eyes.
Anna did so inside was a really heavy auror's cloak and a sneakscope. "Awesome! Thank you!" Anna smiled. She threw the blanket playfully at Severus and reached down for the last few gifts.
The soft fluffy item hit Snape's face; he thought he was going to die. Picking up the blanket as though it was contaminated, he studied it a moment or two.
"Hey don't you realize were having a boy?" He asked snidely.
Tonks glared. "I realized that but I already got the blanket so you can coddle with it for all I care." She snapped.
Alexa snorted.
Snape went to kick her but Dumbledore looked over his spectacles at him. "Maturity?"
Severus grumbled.
Sitting back up straight he noticed Anna had already opened Sirius gift, how many more did she have? Did he really have to stay here that long? He sighed and turned back to watching her.
"Thank you so much Sirius, it'll come in good use." Anna placed a small journal on top of the growing pile of presents.
Severus took it without her notice she had moved on to Alexa's which happened to be a CD and the two went of discussing the particular songs.
"I love disenchanted heart." He heard Alexa say.
Snape flipped through the journal, he could probably steal this from Anna and use it for notes, and Anna wasn't a journal person anyway.
However as he got to the second or so page he noticed the journal wasn't completely empty. Along the margins there were tiny scribbled notes, Sirius Words of Wisdom #3 Never give Bella a pet you'll be eating it in a few weeks.
He flipped more pages. Sirius Words of Wisdom #98 Snivillus only likes grey undies. Severus snarled and snapped the book shut.
"Oh no you guys didn't! WOW!"
Before Anna's eyes laid the most recent and one of the greatest inventions Fred and George had yet to make. Harry, Ron Hermione, All the Order, DA, Death Eaters, Professors, all in action figure form!
"And, Hogwarts!" they said in unison.
A miniaturized school with all the works was unwrapped before her.
"I'm in love! I love you guys."
Lucius made a disgusted noise in this throat.
"Well Daddy you know what I mean!" she rolled her eyes and turned back to Fred and George.
"Yeah and Severus is specially made."
George handed over a grumbling tiny figure of the potions master.
"He's rubber," said Fred, "and his hair has a grease spout in it." George finished.
"Awe," Anna took the tiny man in her hand, "he's so tiny it almost makes him cute!" She stroked his hair.
The tiny Severus grumbled inaudible words, she smiled.
"You said he was rubber right?"
The twins nodded.
Anna pulled on one of his arms, it stretched out and popped back in place once she left go.
The grumbling got lower and deadlier; the tiny thing drew its wand and grumbled. A tiny red light hit her thumb.
She watched as what seemed like a paper cut formed.
"Ah! You little!" Anna dropped him into her other hand and sucked on her thumb.
"He's a dangerous little thing isn't he?" She felt a tap on her shoulder.
Sirius looked at her, "I don't mean to interrupt but. Can I talk to you alone for a second," his eyes seemed antsy.
She nodded. Placing the tiny Snape into her pocket so only his head and arms stuck out she looked at the twins.
"Amazing, spectacular work, wicked awesome, but I'll be back."
They nodded as Anna followed Sirius into a small nearby cover like room.
Severus had watched as Anna played around with the tiny figures he particularly didn't like how they had gone through and tortured his figure leaving the rest to roam the miniature Hogwarts unharmed. He'd get them back once school started up, maybe not the Weasleys but the Hammersteins. Anna's younger guest roamed around the toy in awe, the adults stood whispering to one another. Snape stood alone.
Anna rested her hands on her overly round tummy.
"You needed to see me Sirius?" she looked up at him worried.
"Yes, Anna I'm not sure else to turn to, Andromeda would be too obvious. Tonks is with them and Harry is too unstable you're all I have left."
Anna tilted her head.
"What do you need from me Uncle Sirius, I'm here for you, you know that." Sirius shifted his feet. "They found my hideout; the Ministry knows where I stayed."
Anna raised an eyebrow, "that's not good."
Severus looked from his cup to the punch bowl, he didn't really want anymore, but he was slightly on the desperate side of looking like he had something to do so people wouldn't bother him until Anna returned.
"Hello Professor!" Sophie smiled. Damn, too late.
"What Hammerstein?" He drawled.
"Oh, just wanted to say hello to our favorite Spy's child's ugly git of a father." Ella grinned foolishly.
Snape's eyes narrowed. "Remember this you two, the term is just around the corner, I suggest you not start it off with Ravenclaw in the hole in house points."
Sophie opened her mouth when Anna waddled out.
"Can I talk with you a second?"
She stopped spotting a few uneaten carrots; she snagged them up and popped a few in her mouth.
He nodded following her into the room, where Sirius stood looking out the door with a fierce loathing in his eyes.
Anna turned and shut the door, she looked down and laughed.
"Severus! You have a bunny tail!"
She giggled and reached down to wiggle her finger against it, making the whole thing twitch.
Sirius gave a wholesome throaty laugh.
Severus snarled, "Hammersteins."
Anna sighed and waved her wand removing the tail in a flash, "now, Severus you know Sirius is really close family, and I'd do anything for his right?" "Regrettably."
She tapped her foot unhappily.
"Yes well, I think for everyone it'd be best if he stayed with us for a while." "No," Snape interjected.
"It's my house and I have right to refuse the mongrel."
"You'd let him get caught by the ministry? Your own family Severus how could you?"
"No Anna emotion won't work on me don't even try it."
Severus unlocked the door to Spinners End, Anna stepped inside.
"Here you are Godric," Anna smiled at the big black dog at her feet.
"I thought we agreed his name was Salazar?"
Severus raised an eyebrow at his wife.
"No, I wouldn't degrade him like that it just doesn't fit."
Severus smirked, "you're right Helga is so much better for him."
Sirius growled.
"Don't start dog, ten days that's all you've got here, and I've been nice enough to let you stay that long, it can change."
"Oh, hush Severus, welcome home Sirius." Anna smiled.
"Don't tell him that he might believe it!" Severus hissed.
Sirius had already made his way about navigating the place.
"Too late," she went for the living room.
"Damn."
