Angela Marie Snape and The-Boy-Who-Lived
Disclaimer: Harry Potter and related characters belong to J.K. Rowlings… Angela belongs to me however.
I just watched "The seeker: The Dark is Rising," The movie is somehow in my expectations but they removed parts from the Book I wanted very much to see…

Chapter Fourteen: Harry and the Minister
Harry was dancing with Ginny when Percy intervened and Harry gave up his dance and surrendered Ginny to her Elder brother.
Harry went to the Concession stand and got a punch and lingered by the table he then noticed at the corner of his eye that the new minister was heading his way and he groaned inwardly.
'Better get through with it once and for all,' Harry thought and finished his punch.
Rufus neared and stood besides Harry and bowed and Harry did the same thing.
"It is a pleasure to at last be meeting you," Rufus said.
"And the same to you," Harry said cautiously,
"My, what a beautiful night," Rufus said striking a conversation. "Would it interest you to have a stroll with me?"
"Minister, I-" Harry started to say, but the minister took Harry's arm and roughly pulled it.
"Glad that you accepted," Rufus said in Pretend cheerfulness.
He forced Harry out of the castle and literally pinned Harry to his side.
"Now, Harry, I have this proposition to make," Rufus said. "How about you become the face of the Ministry of Magic,"
Harry didn't like the idea at all he scrunched his nose and looked forward.
"You will be getting 24 hours bodyguards and-" Rufus said but was interrupted by Harry.
"With all due respect, sir," Harry said. "But I decline to acknowledge your request."
Rufus' mouth opened in protest but a Death Glare coming from Harry silenced him.
"I will not use my fame for such idiocy," Harry sneered, he had spat at the word Fame.
Then he froze in his tracks his eyes opened in shock.
'Did I just sneer?' he asked himself. 'I'm starting to sound like my uncle.'
"But this is for your safety," Rufus argued.
"If you actually believe that I will be the ministry's Golden boy then you are wrong, I simply refuse to join you for I am Dumbledore's man through and through," Harry said then caught himself.
'Oh, well, I guess you learn how to be like them, if you lived with them long enough,' Harry thought. 'Angela, hurry up and find me.'
And as if on cue Hermione ran up breathless, and Harry breathed a sigh of relief.
"Harry, Thank Merlin, I found you," Hermione said worriedly. "Professor Anderson… Is… Uh… Uh… Wanting to have a word with you."
Harry quirked an eyebrow at the obvious lie and then nodded.
"Why, of course Hermione I will follow," Harry said and turned to the minister. "I am sorry but I have to go."
Harry abruptly turned and smiled to himself so relieved that he was no longer with the minister.

Angela got out of the Comfort room and hurried to the great hall after she watched Harry walk away from the minister heading to Hogwarts she sighed in relief.
She was busy minding her own business when a man blocked her path only to find that it was Lucius.
"Would it greatly Interest you, if you would like to dance with me?" Lucius said with a Falsetto voice and Smile.
Angela would have loved to decline the invitation but that being a lady she knew that it wouldn't be at all polite if she declined so she placed a false smile on her lips.
"I would gladly dance with you my good sir," Angela said.
Lucius continued his false smile but extended Angela his right arm and she accepted it and they went to the dance floor.
They waited for the music and they bowed to each other when the music started and they started Dancing.
"Well, You look lovely tonight, aside from the time you fought us," Lucius sneered.
"I do not take compliments from Death Eaters," Angela sneered back. "Nor do I associate myself with them,"
'But I do,' She thought to herself. 'My father is a Death Eater but is a spy to the order.'
"What is it between you and Harry?" Suddenly cut in Lucius.
"What is that supposed to be?" Angela asked.
"My Lord, saw you in Potter's head," Lucius said. "What were you doing in Potter's head."
"What do you think I was doing?" Angela shot the question back. "Maybe, trying to protect Harry from Voldemort invading his mind."
Lucius hissed when His master's name was spoken like that and Angela smirked.
"Don't you dare say that name," Lucius said. "It's sacred to my Master."
"Tell me Lucius, "Angela said. "Does a master have to torture poor defenseless Death Eaters for every failed mission just to prove his point? Does he have to kill Muggles just to appease his taste for blood."
"What we are doing is for the Noble cause…" Lucius started to say but Angela cut him off.
"Noble?" Angela sneered. "Noble? on what cause? Killing people? Is that what you call Noble?"
"We are doing this for all wizards alike," Lucius said.
"All wizards, Lucius?" Angela asked. "I have heard of Death Eaters killing Muggle-born Wizards and Witches."
"Those Mudbloods have stolen our magical abilities for themselves," Lucius said. "We are trying to cleanse the Wizarding world of this filth, and that is My Lord's dream."
"Voldemort's dream is sick and I will be Dead before I will ever join him," Angela said that a little to loud that the other dancers looked at her in shock when they heard Angela say the Dark lords name the music had also stopped.
Angela smiled sweetly and shrugged her shoulders.
"Sorry, slip of the tongue," Angela said and the music started again.

Severus at that time was keeping an eye on Angela the whole time from his seat he frowned when he obviously saw them having a heated discussion then Severus heard…
"Voldemort's dream is sick and I will be Dead before I will ever join him,"
Severus smirked when Angela had at last told the truth he was hiding for a long time, he was sick and tired of Voldemort's dream and it sickened him to no end, plus only Voldemort's inner circle in which of course included him had to see his missions in fulfillment.
He knew what will Lucius do after the party, He knew that he would be tortured for this but then He was Voldemort's most important Servant.
'As if I were,' Severus thought.
Harry entered not soon after and his gaze fell on Severus.
Severus narrowed his eyes and gave a glare that clearly said… where-in-Merlin's-name-did-you-come-from.
Harry understood the glared and and mouthed only one word. "Minister." Then he went to get Ginny to dance with him
Severus mouthed an O as he understood now he stood up and went to Lucius.
"I would like it very much if I would dance with my colleague," Severus said curtly and Lucius was forced to surrender Angela to her father and left her aside.
"Thanks," Angela murmured gratefully.
"Let us enjoy this dance shall we," Severus said but don't forget to look angry at me."
Angela placed on a glare that made Severus proud and they continued dancing.
At early hours in the morning Angela dropped into her bed tired she had transfigured her Gown into a nightgown she fell asleep when her heard touched the pillow.

Angela woke up to a sunny afternoon and she got out of her bed and bathed a bit today their won't be any classes because of the ball and Angela felt like visiting her father but when she walked into his office she did not find him in it or in his Lab tht was when she started to get worried then she remembered that she had Harry's map she then pulled it out.
"I solemnly swear I am up to no good," she said and she started looking for her father.
"I see that old thing is still around," said a voice that made Angela turn sharply to the smirking face of Remus Lupin.
"Remus, What are you doing here?" Angela asked.
"I just wanted to check on Harry," Remus said. "And to see how you are coping up."
"Coping up on what?" Angela asked clearly puzzled.
Remus went over and looked over the map and placed a finger on a specific place.
"Did you happen to check this particular spot for your father?" Remus asked.
Angela followed the finger and saw that it was pointed to the Hospital wing.
"Why would my-" Angela started to ask but then was silenced by a gasp.
The dot labeled 'Severus Snape' was in the Hospital Wing and another dot labeled 'Poppy Promfrey' was Hovering around her father.
Angela did not waste time she quickly left the Quarters and Walked briskly to the Hospital wing with her cloak billowing behind her and when she entered she stormed in and gasped at the condition her father was in.
He was all bruised and battered and he was bleeding from deep cuts and he was unconscious.
"What happened to him?" Angela asked.
"You-know-who, that's what happened," Poppy said.
Angela sat on an empty chair and grasped Severus' hand tears falling from her eyes.
"Dad," She said. "I'm here."
Poppy looked at them and she let them be and walked away suddenly finding Inventorying the potions she had, a very interesting job to do.
For three days Angela left Her father's side only to teach both her and her fathers' lesson.
Severus was transferred to a hidden Hospital Room complete with bathroom bed desk and an extra bed for Angela.
Severus regained consciousness just as Angela was going to pour a Potion down his throat.
"I was about to administer the anti-fever potion when you woke up," His daughter said. "How are you?"
"How bad exactly am I?" Severus asked.
"You were pretty bad three days ago," Angela said. "But Poppy did wonders to you."
Suddenly a bad smell assaulted Severus' nose he turned his head and saw that a cauldron was at the other side of the room.
"Angela," Severus said.
"Yes, Dad," Angela answered.
"What potion are you brewing?" He asked.
"Why, it's the Dreamless sleep potion." Angela answered.
"Why does it smell like a Rotten Egg?" Severus asked wrinkling his nose.
Angela quickly turned with an exclamation and rushed to the other side of the room and lowered the flame.
Severus chuckled and Angela grinned at her father like a guilty person.
"Well, We can still save it," Severus said sitting up and feeling his back and stood upand went to the other room. "Do you have Peppermint?"
"Peppermint?" Angela asked.
"Yes, Peppermint," Severus answered.
Angela mutely handed him the bottle and Severus got it and pulled out a leaf.
"In some of my potions if I made a simple small mistake… all I do is just add a small pinch of Peppermint it nullifies the mistake and corrects it but the trick to fix the potion with Peppermint is to turn the ladle three time clockwise and twice counter-clockwise." Severus said as he did what he told him and a few minutes later the potion became the right shade of color and texture.
Suddenly the door opened and Harry entered.
"Good Evening sir," Harry said. "I see, that you are up."
"Thank you, Potter," Severus said.
Angela bent down and added the last ingredients and let it simmer.
"What happened Dad?" Angela asked.
Severus walked to the window and stared out.
"I knew that after the party, Lucius would quickly alert the Dark Lord about your presence right after the party and he summoned Voldemort to the Malfoy mansion told The dark lord about you and then we were Summoned I was tortured but not that much in Voldemort's eyes," Severus said. "After an hour later I was fighting for consciousness the meeting was over and I apparated to Hogwarts and I lost consciousness… I do not now how I ended up here."
"As long as you are alive," Angela said going to her father and hugging him and Severus returned the hug with fervor.
Harry just stood there looking in awe, he loved seeing Severus in his fatherly side and sighed he wanted his father to be that way but then his father was dead.
Severus turned his head at the sigh and he understood that sigh.
"Harry, Come here," Severus said and sat down on the bed and motioned Harry to sit here.
Harry jumped and stared gapingly.
"Harry, what did I say about Gapping," Severus said.
Harry Immediately shut his mouth but was shocked again.
"S-s-sir, You called me Harry," Harry stammered.
"Well, that is your name, is it not?" Severus asked.
"Well, yeah," Harry answered. "But what happened to 'Potter'"
Severus smirked and looked at him in the eye.
"I cannot always call you Potter," Severus said. "For you are my godson and practically part of my family."
Harry smiled and looked at Angela who had stood to watch them.
"You may call me Severus," Severus said. "But you must call me Professor, or sir in Public."
"Yes, Uh… Severus," Harry said.
Severus nodded and smiled but became serous again.
"Harry, we must keep this secret," Severus said. "If Voldemort finds out He will hold either Angela or I as hostages for you to come and save us."
Harry grimaced at that thought.
"Yeah, I guess we can keep that quiet," Harry said. "I don't want any of you to get hurt."
Angela smirked then quickly turned and went to the finished potion took out her wand and summoned the bottles that were on the bookshelves and placed then on the floor then conjuring small stool sat down and started pouring Potions into the bottles.
Severus looked up and looked questioning at his daughter who was busy bottling the potions.
At this moment Poppy entered and stopped her mouth was open in shock.
"Severus what are you doing out of bed?" Poppy asked. "You are still hurt."
"Well, I can assure you that I am just fine," Severus said.
Severus stood up and made for the door but Poppy blocked it.
"Poppy, if you would just let me through?" Severus said.
"No, Severus I will not let you go," Poppy said. "You are still hurt."
"I can assure you Poppy that I can heal myself," Severus said.
"You are no medi-wizard," Poppy said.
"No, I am not," said Severus. "I am a Potions Master."
With that he pushed Poppy away softly and started to walk away.
"Petificus Totallus," Poppy said and Severus was hit with it and Angela rushed and saved her father from hitting his nose as he fell forward.
Severus was turned and to face Poppy who had a smirk in her face and he glared.
"You are in no condition to leave this place until I seem fit," Pomfrey said then released Severus.
Severus dusted himself off and scowled when Promfrey pointed to the room.
"Just this once," Severus said. "Then never again."
With that he marched back to his Hospital bed and lay down.
Angela was stifling her laughter but with a look from Harry who was also doing the same they burst out into peals of laughter.
"Oh, that's helpful," sneered Severus.
And once again Angela and Harry went to hysterics and they never heard Severus mutter.
"Oh, why did I have to take Gryffindors,"
