A/N: I know this is kind of late in the story and I know you guys don't like how Harry was spanked 90 times. I know it was too much and it's abuse. But this is just a story not real life. I don't actually give kids 90 slaps, Severus is the one who did the spanking and he doesn't know how to take care of a kid, how would he know how many spanks to give Harry? He's just following what his father did to him and when Tobias spanked him when he was small, Tobias was drunk.
" You're Sara's Aunt?" Tobias asked
" Yes and I want to adopt her" Mary said
" Who's at the door dear?" Eileen asked
" Some lady who says she's Sara's aunt" Tobias said
" And Godmother" Mary corrected
" And Godmother" Tobias said
" Aunt Mary?" Sara asked
" You have an aunt Mary" Severus asked
" Yah, I only get to see her one week a year, she's my favorite though" Sara said
" Hmm, sounds suspicious" Severus said and he walked up to the front door, " Are you really Sara's aunt Mary?"
" Yes" Mary said
" Prove it" Severus said
" How?" Mary asked
" Hmm... I have an idea, stay right here" Severus said
" Aren't you going to invite me in?" Mary asked
" Not yet" Severus said
" How rude" Mary said
" Sorry, but it's for safety" Severus said, " Dad don't let her in"
" Ok" Tobias said
Severus went down into the basement and got out a vial of Veritisiurm and brought it back upstairs, went to the front door and handed her the vial, " Drink that"
" ARE YOU TRYING TO POISON ME?" Mary shrieked
" No" Severus said annoyed, " Just drink"
" I don't drink potions that don't look familiar" Mary said defiantly
" You know what a potion is?" Severus asked
" Of course I do, I'm a witch, I went to Beauxbatons Academy of Magic" Mary said
" You don't sound French" Severus said
" Just because I went to a French school doesn't make me French, plus, it's been years since I've gone to school, any accent I have or had has gone" Mary said
" Well the potion you are holding is Veritisirum, I just need to ask you a few questions" Severus said
" I don't drink potions from strangers" Mary said
Severus sighed, " My name is Severus Tobias Snape, I am the Potions professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry"
" Oh very well" Mary said and she drank the potion
" Are you Mary, Sara's aunt?" Severus asked
" Yes" Mary said
" Are you her Godmother also?" Severus asked
" Yes" Mary said
" Are you here to destroy us?" Severus asked
" No" Mary said
" Why are you here?" Severus asked
" I want to adopt my favorite niece and raise her like a witch is supposed to be raised" Mary said
" Where have you been all this time?" Severus asked
" I don't understand the question" Mary said
" Where have you been while Sara's parents were treating Sara like dirt?"
" Well for the last six months I have been looking for her, I wasn't aloud to adopt Sara when she was living with her parents, the ministry wouldn't let me, they didn't think anything was wrong, when I stopped by my sister's house today she said that you took her, I cast a locater spell and it led me to this address" Mary said
" Ok" Severus said and he gave her the antidote to the Veritisirum, " You may come in"
" Thank you" Mary said and stepped inside
" Aunt Mary" Sara cheered and ran to her aunt"
" Sara" Mary cheered and hugged her favorite niece, " I missed you so much"
" I missed you too" Sara said
" How would you like to be adopted by me? You'd have a real family" Mary said, " One that won't call you a freak and keep you away from your loved ones"
Sara smiled with wide eyes, " Really?"
" Really" Mary said
" I'd love too... wait... I can't... Mr. Snape wants to adopt me" Sara said
Mary turned to Severus, " You want to adopt her?" Mary asked
" Yes" Severus said
" She's a complete stranger to you, why do you want to adopt her?" Mary asked with a glare
" Because her parents are as bad as Harry's Aunt and Uncle" Severus said
" Who's Harry?" Mary asked
" I am" Harry said
" He let me in from the rain the other night" Sara said
" You don't even know these people Sara" Mary said, " Why do you want to be adopted by them?"
" I... I don't know who I want to be adopted by, Mr. Snape and his family is are really nice but you are my aunt and godmother" Sara said, " This is so confusing, I don't want to make anybody upset when I have to choose"
Harry thought for a minute, " Sara... I think you should go with your aunt"
" What?" Sara asked
" Blood relatives can keep you more safe than non blood relatives" Harry said
" But won't you guys feel bad?" Sara asked
" No I don't think they will" Mary said with a grin
" Why?" Sara asked, " Why won't they feel bad?"
" Well they can come visit us or we can come visit them... we are only going to live five doors down" Mary said
" You bought that house that has been for sale for two months?" Tobias asked
" Yes" Mary said
" You do realize this is a muggle town right?" Severus asked
" So... you live here" Mary said
" Good point" Severus said
" Will I be going to a magical school?" Sara asked
" Hogwarts" Mary said
" Cool" Sara said with a smile
" You're going to be in my friend Ginny's year, I hope you get Gryffindor" Harry said with a smile
" I just hope you don't get Hufflepuff" Severus said
" What about Slytherin?" Sara asked
" Good luck with Slytherin if you are in it, you will get bullied a lot in that house" Severus said, " I should know, I'm the head of house"
" Why would I get bullied?" Sara asked
" Because you're a muggle born" Severus said, " Mostly pure bloods who think they're the best are in that house"
" Malfoy" Harry coughed
" Yes... Malfoy" Severus said
" Oh for a warning, since you are a muggle born, don't be surprised if you're called a...a..." Harry started
" Oh for crying out loud, the word is mudblood" Severus said
" What's that mean?" Sara asked
" It means dirty blood, somebody with muggle parents, it's a foul name that Slytherins like to call muggleborns, just ignore them if they call you that" Severus said
" Ok" Sara said
" Well then since we have that all straitened out, I suggest Sara we go to our new home, we have a lot of work to do" Mary said
" What about all of the paperwork it takes to adopt her?" Severus asked
" That's all taken care of" Mary said, " My sister and brother- in- law were very happy to get rid of her daughter and have me adopt her"
" What about all of the papers that she needs to sign?" Harry asked
" That part needs to be taken care of but that is it" Mary said
" Well it looks like Sara, we're not going to be siblings, but we can still be friends" Harry said with a smile
" I'd like to be friends" Sara said with a smile, " I guess I should get my stuff"
" That would be wise" Mary said
" I'll go help you with your things" Harry suggested
The two teens went upstairs to retrieve Sara's things. It took them about five minutes, they didn't have much to grab
" Hey Harry, I'll race you downstairs" Sara challenged
" You're on" Harry said
They both took an equal amount of stuff to carry down and they raced down to the adults
" Hey no running in the house" Tobias scolded
" Sorry" They said at the same time when they got down
" You guys are acting like kids" Tobias said
" We are kids"
" Actually you're supposed to be teenagers" Severus said with a glare
" Sorry" They said again
" Oh leave them alone, they were just having fun" Eileen said
" Yes mum" Severus said
" Saved by Mrs. Snape" Harry thought
" Well Sara do you have everything?" Mary asked
" Yes aunt Mary" Sara said with a smile
" Ok, well say yuor goodbyes and thank them for their kindness, we should be going" Mary said
Sara said bye to everybody with hugs and she and her aunt left
" Sweet, now somebody I can hang with during the summer" Harry said with a smile
" She's going to need a lot of tutoring if she wants to be in fifth year when she gets to Hogwarts" Severus said
