It had been five years since Jaxsyn had ingested the poison. Madame Pomfrey had found a way to weaken the poison; however it was still killing Jaxsyn. Other than the poison many things had changed in Jaxsyn's life. She was now dating Fred Weasley and was in a way part of the Weasley family. Molly and Arthur had both met her and ended up thinking of Jaxsyn as their own daughter. Although Ron and Percy not really liking her, the rest of the family loved her.

It was around Christmas time and Jaxsyn had been given the go ahead from Madame Pomfrey to go and spend the merry holiday away from the hospital wing. So on the day that all of the students were leaving to go home for the winter holidays, Professor Snape made his way to the hospital wing to take his goddaughter home. Since Severus had taken Jaxsyn in as his own daughter after she had ingested the poison Jaxsyn would live with him in Spinner's End.

"Good morning Madame Pomfrey" Snape greeted the elder witch.

"Good morning Professor Snape. Jaxsyn is just getting ready to leave" Madame Pomfrey greeted the younger professor. Madame Pomfrey started to put different medical supplies before turning around and handing the bag to Snape. "Severus, do not lose this bag or any of the contents in it. This bag has very medication that Jaxsyn will need over the break. She needs to take one of every pill once a day. If she misses one pill it could be a life or death situation" Pomfrey told him.

Just before Snape could say anything Jaxsyn came walking out of the bathroom in normal clothes and walked over to Snape and gave him a hug. "Hi Professor Snape" Jaxsyn almost yelled.

"Jaxsyn, there's no students around you can call me Severus" Snape told her has he ruffled her hair. Jaxsyn then turned to Madame Pomfrey and bid her good day before turning to Severus and walking out of the medical wing. "So we just have to stop by Dumbledore's Office for a few minutes because I need to talk to Dumbledore, McGonagall, Flitwick and Sprout about the break. After that we will flew to our house and you can decide what we are going to do tonight. Does that sound good?" Severus said as the two walked towards the headmaster's office.

"Yes, I like the sound of that" Jaxsyn answered. Once they got to Dumbledore's office Jaxsyn saw the other four professors sitting around a table.

"Severus, come sit down" Dumbledore said before turning to McGonagall and saying, "Minerva will you go and keep Miss Malfoy company while I talk with Severus and the other two heads of house?"

"Of course Albus" McGonagall said before turning to Jaxsyn and leading her out of the room. They sat in another part of the office away from where the other four professors were talking. "So Jaxsyn what are you and Severus planning on doing for winter break?" McGonagall asked

"I'm planning on going to the Weasley's for New Year's" Jaxsyn replied

Time Skip…

Once Jaxsyn and Severus got to their house in Spinner's End Jaxsyn went to her room to unpack while Severus looked through the medical bag. Once Jaxsyn came out of her room and into the kitchen she found Severus reading some letters.

"Jaxs do you need to take any of the pills right now?' Severus asked.

"No, I have to take the green pills in the morning, at lunch and before bed" Jaxsyn explained to Severus. She then walked up behind him and asked "What are you reading?"

"It is a letter from your mother" he responded.

"What does it say?" she asked.

"Here I'll just read it to you" he replied.

Dear Severus,

How is my daughter doing? I'm really worried about her. In your last letter you said that she was getting worse and that the poison was going to kill her. I want to know if she is getting worse or better. I still don't know if Lucius put the poison gas in the letter or not. Draco told me that Jaxsyn only gets to leave the medical wing for classes otherwise see is forced to stay there. I got a letter the other day from Albus and he said that Jaxsyn was losing the battle against the poison, please tell me that that isn't true.

Severus, remember when you asked me to let you change Jaxsyn's last name to Snape and I said that I would have to think about it. Well I thought about it and I think that it would be safe to change her name. Severus from now on Jaxsyn's name will be Lyra Snape. I am doing this to keep her safe from the other Death Eaters and You-Know-Who. Lyra is her second name but only a few know that her name on her birth certificate is Jaxsyn-Lyra. Please Severus if you had a child of your own wouldn't you do anything to keep them safe? Well I'm a mother who will do anything to keep my daughter safe. I know that the poison is killing her but I don't want a Death Eater or You-Know-Who to capture, torture or kill her. Please do it for Jaxsyn.

Love,

Narcissa

"Well at least I'll have a girl's name" Jaxsyn said as she sat down.

"So you're ok with me changing your name and basically being my daughter?" Severus asked.

"Well I already think of you as my dad, so of course I'm ok with it" Jaxsyn replied.

"Now I have to send a letter to Dumbledore quickly then we can do whatever you want to do" Severus told her before shooing her out of the kitchen. Jaxsyn walked to her bedroom and started to write a letter to Fred.


So I am doing the story a bit different where it's just snippets of Jaxsyn's life. They will either mean something or just be because I felt like writing them.
