Chp X

"Want to go to the Shrieking Shack?" Ron asked

"No." Hermione and Neville said

"Want to visit Hagrid?" Ron asked

"No." Hermione and Neville said

"Want to go see if Sophia is ok?" Ron asked

"Yes." Hermione and Neville said as they all made there way towards the castle.

As the reached the castle's step they were met by Harry who had just finished visiting Sophia.

"Harry, what's up?" Neville asked

"Nothing, just got done visiting Sophia & Professor Snape." Harry said

"And." Ron asked

"You know how Sophia is trying to stay positive for her dad." Harry said

"Yea typical Sophia." Neville said

"You think we could go and visit Sophia?" Hermione asked

"I think so; she is going to need us more than ever." Harry said as the four of them began heading towards the hospital wing.

"NO! PLEASE! DO SOMETHING! HELP HIM!" Sophia screamed watching her father's body convulse as if in excruciating pain.

Madam Pomfrey summoned a variety of ingredients from her cabinet and began mixing them furiously. Snape's body continued to convulse, but now it was violent.

"Nurse Fauna, Nurse Fiora please summon some belt straps and strap his body down onto the bed." Pomfrey said as both nurses nodded and belt straps began coming towards them.

Sophia looked at the scene as the tears fell faster and faster from her eyes.

"Please daddy! Don't leave me!" Sophia cried flinging herself on top of his body.

"Albus! Minerva! Get her off of him and take her out of here." Pomfrey said still mixing ingredients.

Dumbledore and McGonagall grabbed Sophia by the arms and prided her off Snape's body.

"NO! PLEASE! LET GO OF ME!" Sophia said struggling to break free from McGonagall and Dumbledore's grips. Both professors tightened their grip on Sophia trying their hardest to hold on to her. As she continued to struggle, their grips were starting to loosen on Sophia.

"Albus I can't hold her much longer." McGonagall said to Dumbledore

"Try to Minerva, we must." Dumbledore said to McGonagall.

"Harry what's going on over there?" Neville asked pointing towards the group of people.

"SOPHIA!" Ron said as they all began running towards Sophia.

The scene was something neither of them will ever forget. Snape's body still convulsing violently as the nurses tighten the straps on his arms, legs and torso. They looked towards their right and saw McGonagall and Dumbledore trying their hardest to hold Sophia away from the scene.

"Someone please take her into my office." Pomfrey said

"NO! PLEASE! DAD!" Sophia said as everyone began taking her into Madam Pomfrey's office.

"Sophia please come on." Harry said as Sophia passed out because of exhaustion.

"Oh Merlin's beard. Sophia! Wake up!" McGonagall said as Harry, Ron, Neville and Hermione began carrying Sophia into Pomfrey's office. Dumbledore held Sophia's head while McGonagall continued to try to wake her up.

"Lay her on that sofa, but do so gently." Dumbledore said as everyone did as told.

"The poor darling, she has been through so much." McGonagall said as the clock chimed 7pm.

"Minerva we must leave and inform the students about their Potions professor." Dumbledore said

"Albus who will stay with Sophia, she is going to need someone there when she wakes up." McGonagall said

"We can stay with her professors, Sophia is our friend." Neville said

"She isn't just our friend, she is family." Ron said

"How very kind of you, all right then. We will not be long." Dumbledore said walking towards the door and looked at McGonagall. "Minerva lets go, Sophia is in safe hands."

McGonagall released Sophia's hand and left Madam Pomfrey's office.

"Should we try and wake her up?" Ron asked

"Yes, in case Madam Pomfrey needs to speak with her." Hermione said.

"Here I'll try I was taught a trick by my Gram on waking people up from a faint spell." Neville said taking out his wand and placing it on Sophia's heart. "Dear child, worrying does not solve the problems when your heart knows the solution." Neville said

Sophia instantly opened her eyes and looked up to see her friends looking back at her.

"Harry, Ron, Hermione, Neville." Sophia said looking at each of them.

"Hey Sophs, thought we had lost ya there." Ron said

"How's dad doing? Did they stop the convulsions?" Sophia asked

"We don't know, but if you like we could find out." Hermione said with a gentle hand on Sophia's shoulder.

"Please?" Sophia said as Harry and Ron left to find out what happened to Snape.

"Sophia, it will be ok, Gram always says that sometimes it takes the bad to present itself before the good shines through." Neville said

"That's very wise Neville, thanks." Sophia said as Harry and Ron returned. "And?" Sophia said

"Madam Pomfrey said he's been stable and has stopped the convulsions. She said you can come back and see him." Harry said as Sophia go up and ran back towards Snape's bedside. The four Gryffindors followed behind her.

Sophia looked at her father, who was still motionless, pale and with several bruises on his face.

"What happened to him?" Sophia asked looking at Madam Pomfrey.

"The convulsions became violent and he ended up hitting his face along the bed's iron rails." Pomfrey said as Sophia approached Snape's bedside.

"Will Professor Snape be ok?" Hermione asked

"Oh yes he will awaken in ::looks at clock:: in 62hours. He will be sore for several weeks but good as new. Now I think it is a good idea that you four return to your tower." Pomfrey said

"NO! Let them stay please?" Sophia said looking towards her friends.

"Very well Sophia, but I will need to inform Professor McGonagall of their whereabouts." Pomfrey said

"That's fine as long as they can stay." Sophia said as Madam Pomfrey nodded and left.

"Sophia did you hear, he is going to be ok?" Harry said sitting next to Sophia who said nothing.

"Yea Sophs, and if you need any help we'll help you right guys." Ron said looking at Neville and Hermione who nodded yes.

"See Sophia even Neville said yes and he's afraid of your dad." Harry said as Sophia turned to face them and began laughing.

The five sat by Snape's beside until bedtime where they left for their tower and left Sophia and Snape for the night.

"We'll come by in the morning. Let us know if you need anything." Harry said

"All right thanks guys. Good night." Sophia said hugging each one.

Sophia watched them leave the hospital and turned her attention back to Snape.

"Please wake up soon. Good night." Sophia whispered into Snape´s ear and kissed his forehead. She took his arm, wrapped it around her shoulders, and fell asleep.

*Dream Sequence*

Snape awoke to find himself in a field filled with wildflowers. He stood and brushed the dirt off his clothes and looked around.

"Severus?" A somber figured said standing next to him.

Instantly he reached for his wand, but found none.

"You won't need that anymore." The somber figure said

"Who are you?" Snape asked

"I am yours and Sophia's past, present and future." The somber figure said

"I do not comprehend." Snape said

"Of course not dear boy only those who are ready comprehend this, Sophia understands." The somber figure said pointing towards a tall blue three-story house on the other side. "Shall we?" The somber figure said leading Snape towards it.

Snape did not understand who this person was, or how this person knew Sophia, nevertheless he followed and arrived at the house.

"Do you recognize it Severus?" The somber figure asked

Of course he recognize it, it was the Prince house, the one where his mother grew up in and the one he spent the happiest times as a child. He had not seen it in years.

"Wait this is not possible the house was torn down many years ago?" Snape said.

"The house itself was torn down several years, but the memory of it lives on forever, in here." The somber figure said pointing to Snape's mind.

Snape noticed that there were people inside of the house. He tried glancing inside, but was blocked by the white rocking chairs on the porch.

"Who is in the house?" Snape asked

"The past that will help the present come towards the future." The somber figure said.

Suddenly Snape heard a familiar voice coming from the house, one he had not heard in years.

"For Merlin sakes Eileen you're just as stubborn as my grandson." An elderly woman said

"Mother please, my son was not stubborn, just rather impatient that's all." Eileen said

Snape could not believe his ears, the voice was that of his mother, Eileen Prince Snape.

"No it can not be, it's-"Snape said

"Your mother." The somber figure said leading them up the stairs, but not through the front door.

"Wait why are we stopping here, I want to see her." Snape said

"Because it is not your time. It is best you see who will take care of Sophia. Now that you have seen it, I believe it shall bring you great comfort knowing that these family members were always destined to care of their family members for generations. As you can see your mother is the most anxious one." The somber figure said pointing at the window.

Snape looked into the house and saw his mother and grandmother talking to each other.

"She will come soon Eileen." Grandmother Prince said

"Mother! I have never held nor spoken to my granddaughter, I am just anxious to get to know her." Eileen said facing the fireplace.

Grandmother Prince stood, walked towards the fireplace and placed a gentle hand on her shoulder.

"And you will have forever to get to know your granddaughter." Grandmother Prince said as a teakettle whistled in the background.

"Now let's go have some tea." Grandmother Prince said as the two walked into the kitchen.

Snape watched until he could no longer see their figures.

"What was the purpose of this tease?" Snape asked.

"To show you that Sophia will be welcome home with open arms. That is when her time comes." The somber figure said

Snape stared into the house, and soon realized that he could not deny it anymore.
