Chapter 10

Snape POV

"No I don't have any seer blood in me; if there is, I do not have the gift for it. I can't see that anyone one on the Hogwart teaching staff with moral would not question the old goat after what is written in the Daily Prophet this morning. I image it would be quite interesting an interesting sight so I have to ask."

"It was quite a spectacular sight to see that old coot put in his place."

"Ahha, I wish I could of have seen it, perhaps another time. The next business is the ring that is on your finger now," the men tense fully expected that the ring be return noticing this he was quickly reassure that is not the case. "The thing is that ring is one of my earlier works it doesn't have as much protective spell as my current work, I was wondering if you will let me modify it slightly?"

"Is all Casablanca perfectionists?"

"I was told that it runs in the family."

"Here." Without much protest he remove the ring from his finger handing it over to its creator, as soon as the ring came off his finger his human appearance revert back to its vampire characteristic.

"Thank you."

He was surprise by the level of spell that the Zane's daughter begins to cast; many of the patterns that she was waving with her elegant wand were unfamiliar. The few that he recognizes were quite high level ancient art. When her wand movement and chant finally stop he doubt that there would be anything else to add to it in the future, the amount of incantation she use to cast the spell on the ring likely rival that of Hogwart's ward.

"Here you go, I hope it serve you well."

"More than you can realize child."

"I have been told that before quite a few times, I have to go there is some business I have to attend to, it was nice to meet you Lord Snape."

I rise with her to walk her to the door, "the pleasure was mine child." As the door close silently behind her I review our short conversation, she was much more than she seem. The way Zane describe her talents didn't do her justice, her brilliance have yet to shine completely as there seem to be a certain past that clouds it. Such a shame, he is willing to do anything to aid her just to see the moment when she truly shines.

Eclipse/ Yuzuki POV

The conversation with Lord Snape was enlightening, it never cease to amaze me how childish my sire is, I still can't believe that he try to force a Snape to wear shiny object. Looking over the last of the paper work once again I finally deems it ready for the preparations to finally begin.

About two years ago I had return briefly to visit my family while I was taking care of some school business. During my errands I stumble across a magical child who became an orphan through the harshness of war. The child was malnourish and beaten by the care taker of the muggle orphanage for their uncontrollable magical discharge. Unable to leave the child alone in such environment I made several inquire regarding to magical orphanage like most part of the world have several similar establishment, imagine my surprise when I found out the foolish British ministry doesn't have one. What's more is that when magical orphan reach the age when they have to attend to school they became a ward of the school they attend mostly Hogwart, but still each year they have to be send back to the orphanage during the summer defenseless.

It was then that I begun to plans for establishing an magical orphanage here, of course the child then couldn't return with me to school, nor was I able to take him as my ward due to my age, I arrange the child to be adopted by one of my former friend from school that had graduated several year before I did who has fondness for children.

The project was quite complicated, but luckily the British ministry isn't very avid in looking after underage magical children so long as they don't perform magic before a muggle, its something I was thankful for and at the same time infuriate me to no end. The project cost me a large sum since I have to start from scratch as there is no establishment magical or muggle wise that suit the purpose, a year ago I had meet with several muggle contractor to begin construction of the building I want, I wanted no magic in play as long as possible and paper trail at that moment was not welcome.

During those few months were the most stressful months of my short life, I had refused to ask my sire for the financial assistance since I wasn't sure how he would take it and it felt like it was something that I had to do myself, seeing the similarity. In the beginning I had worry that I might not have the financial means of completing the project since I was quite specific on meeting child of various ages of needs.

So I had taken quite a few risk using the money in my vault earned doing odd jobs for schools I open several business under an alias. Luckily the business were successful both muggle and magical, now that she has several stable financial funding for the orphanage I finally finalize the last of the plans. The building itself were completed two months prior, and over the months the active body house elf's that were acquire for the orphanage have been furnishing it lavishly with comfort in mind. Tomorrow I will be raising the last of the wards when the last of the material arrive. Luckily the friends I made over the year were more than happy to help, they have been going to every orphanage in England to pick up the occupants, and casting a certain spell I recently complete that will record any new magical children stepping through the orphanage again in a self updating log lock within the safe of the orphanage.

Finally everything is coming together, soon I can finally truly relax after all of the stress I went through, but everything will be worth it. There will be fewer children with eyes similar to her, they will have a chance to be a child, and hopefully they will at least feel safe enough call it home a home they wish to return to.
