Chapter 26.

Weeks passed. We're on holiday again, Draco and me. That last week of term everybody was going crazy over the death of the Diggory boy's death. Harry claimed that father was back... Dumbledore did too...nobody really believed them. After that night in the grave I began to feel much better, and now that father had a body again, he was living in Malfoy manor. This was amazing, and freaky.

Daddy didn't yet know about me and Severus...hiding it was hard, yet we did...Lucius and Draco and Cissa all hid it to. I had spoken to Severus and today I was going to tell him. Today I was going to tell my father.

I left my bedroom and wandered down the hall slowly, till I reached the room my father now held. I stood outside and knocked.
"Come" He said. I took a deep breath before opening the door and slowly entering my father's room. He looked up and saw me. He smiled "Hello precious" He had started calling me that from the time he resided at Lucius' Manor.
"Hello daddy" I said almost silently as I shut the door behind me. I walked in to him room and sat on the bed. He had been in the middle of a conversation with Uncle Lucius. "Hello Uncle" I added when I saw him.

Lucius nodded "Good morning Cali" He said. He and my father finished their conversation and uncle Lucius left. I shuffled up the bed to allow my father room to sit at the bottom.
"Are you alright precious?" He asked. Taking one of my pale hands into his. My other hand had hold of the two necklaces' that adorned my neck. His and Severus'.
"I need to tell you something daddy" I said. My breathing had become slow.
"Should I be worried precious?" He asks looking at my straight in the eye. I bite my lip at this point.

"It is about me and Severus daddy" I say still vaguely playing with the two necklaces that I never took off. I feel my father's grip on my hand tighten but not to a point where it causes pain. "I love him daddy" I say dropping my gaze. "And he loved me" I add closing my eyes. Not daring to look at my father's face. His grip on my hand loosens and I'm pretty sure that he had let go of my hand all together

"Get him here now!" My father states standing. I breathe deeply.
"Severus, I need you here..." I whisper in my head through our mental connection.
"I'm now coming" He says back to me.

"Severus is now coming daddy" I whisper. My gaze still locked onto the floor. I hear my father fling his bedroom door open at the sound of an almost timid knock. I look up and see Severus standing there.
"IN" My father says. Severus scuttles in, then quickly kneels and bows to my Father
"Good morning my Lord" Severus says like he normally would. Father though is having none of it.
"STAND" He demands. Severus follows my father's next order and stands. Quickly as though not to anger father more then he already seems to be. "IS IT TRUE" I watch the situation unfold with wide and scared eyes as Severus nods slowly and only the once. "Speak when you're spoken to Severus!"

"Sorry My Lord. Yes my Lord. Under the permission of Mr. Malfoy and Bellatrix, I've been courting your daughter my Lord" He says quickly. Father turns to me.
"Has he hurt you precious?" He asks his voice laced with anger.
"No daddy. Severus wouldn't..." I say.
"And your mother gave permission?" He asks almost shocked.
"Yes..." I begin to say but Severus interrupts.
"My Lord. I and Mr. Malfoy spoke in depth with Cali's mother. While she too was angry by the notion she agreed because she could see how happy her daughter was" He says.

Father thinks about this. "Precious, do you love Severus...Honestly and truly?" I nod. "You have one week Severus. I will be watching the pair of you closely. In one week I will give you my answer, and if I declare that you may stay courting her, then you may. If I decide otherwise, then you will keep your relationship purely the same as yours with Draco. Is this clear to you Severus?"
"Yes my Lord. Thank you for this opportunity to prove to you how much I love and care for your daughter." Severus says.
"Thank you daddy" I add.

"You are dismissed Severus. I wish to speak to my daughter alone now." Severus once again bows and leaves. My gaze goes back to the floor. Father walks back over to the bed and sits on it, once again taking one of my hands into hers.
"Precious" He says softly. I look up at him. "Are you alright?" He asks
I nod "I'm just scared daddy" I say. He frowns. "I love Severus and we care for each other...I'm scared that you will say we can't be together." My father kisses my hand.
"Everything will be alright precious" He states.

The next day.

I woke up the next day to loud banging on my bedroom door. I rubbed my eyes quickly and rushed to my bedroom door. Draco was there "Downstairs. Now. Your father has called an emergency 'house' meeting" I sigh. I grab my dressing gown from the back of my bedroom door.

"Why is my father calling us at this ungodly hour?" I ask Severus through our minds.
I hear him yawn "I have no idea"
"Oh God...What if...Severus..." I say thinking that father had changed his mind. I felt a hand touch my shoulder. I looked round and saw Severus there. He entwined his hand with mine.
"If he does, then we must deal with it" He says softly, disclosing that he too had that exact same thought. I clutch his hand tightly as we descend the stairs to the living 'parlor' of the manor that had become my home. Lucius and Cissa are sitting on the couch opposite my father. Drake is on the chair. Severus stays standing but my father holds his hand out to me, indicating that I am to go sit with him. Severus had bowed as we entered. Once again my hand trailed to clutch the two necklaces' that lay undisturbed on my neck.

"I have spoken to your mother, and she thinks that we need to tell you why you were brought up with muggles instead of your uncle and aunt" Father says. I nod; Lucius looks more interested into the conversation. I feel Severus' gaze without even looking.
"Yes daddy" I say.

"Obviously, when you were born, you couldn't be in a hospital...because of me, and well your mother." He starts; I nod, internally vowing not to interrupt my father unless he asks me something. "There was a traitor in my inner circle at the time; it consisted of your mother, Lucius, Severus, the Carrow siblings, that Pettigrew. As well as a few others such as, Dolohov, Macnair and some others. The traitor, at the time I was unaware he was a traitor, but he went to Dumbledore...he told Dumbledore about Bella being pregnant, and about your birth. He took you from us Caitlyn. We had you in a safe house with two other Death eaters, the old man brought Auora's and took you." He says.

"Do you know who the traitor was?" I asked Severus.
"Nope...I wouldn't ask your father either; he's probably not too fond of that person" Severus replies. Listening to my father intensively.

"When Dumbledore took you, he glamoured you, changed your name, and took you, to that Muggle family" Father says, once again I nod. "Bella was furious, but then she got taken to, well where she is now, for torturing the Longbottom's, I decided that in case something was to happen to me, Lucius and Cissa were going to watch over you..Help you like they have Draco." Lucius smiles at Cissa who returns it. "But when you were taken away, I sort out my inner circle, trying to find this traitor. Do you remember Lucius, Severus? When I help you each under Cruico for hours at a time, the forcing Veritaserum into you." Both the elder men pale and nod.

"WHAT!" I say in my head
"He wanted to find out who lead you to Dumbledore, so each inner circle member was Cruico'ed for 2-3 hours then told to drink the serum, if they didn't drink it willingly, then they were recruico'ed for another period of time and the cycle continued until either you died, went insane or just gave in and drunk the Serum" Severus tells me.
"How long did it take you?" I ask quickly.
"Since I knew it was about his daughter, I drunk the Serum on my first offer of it. I mean, I certainly knew that I didn't sell you out to Dumbledore"
"And Uncle Lucius?" I ask.
"First offer. Your father trusted me and Lucius; we did not suffer the curse long. Maybe 45 minutes...may an hour. Each 'investigation' was done in private so I can't be sure"

"I found the traitor and he is no longer with us" I nod. "He was the eldest crouch boy. John Jacob Crouch (* Check at bottom for AN)" Severus and Lucius both gasp in amazement. "That is why you were taken from us Caitlyn." I realize that this is the first time, my father has actually called me by my name and not by the name of Precious with which I had grown accustomed to.
"I have a question for you, since it has come to light who you are, have there been any of my followers who need to be reminded of their place?" My father asks. I debate telling him about Barty crouch Jr. I take a deep breath and nod. All three elder men's eyes narrow. Lucius, my father and of course Severus.

"I dealt with it daddy, but you should know, Barty crouch JR, he overstepped a line, when I met him once" I say softly. "In our first meeting, when I called him out on being Barty, instead of Moody. He raised his wand at me. I dealt by raising mine and threatening him. The second incident, he overstepped the mark a lot." I say.
"May I see it in your mind my child?" My father asks, I nod knowing Severus would too. I open my mind to my father. The memory comes to the front of my mind.

Barty nods. "It won't be long my precious Cali."

I take a step away from him. "What did you just call me!" I say.
"I'm Sorry Miss. I wasn't thinking" Barty says crouching away from me.
"ANSWER MY BLOODY QUESTION! WHAT DID YOU CALL ME!" I near on shout at him.
"I said..." He hesitates. My father and Severus could see the glare on my face and the man continues. "I called you...M-M-My P-Precious C-Cali" He all but whimpers. I grab my wand which was conveniently placed in my pocket. I place my wand at the cowering wizard's neck and all but growl.

"I'm sorry Miss. Truly sorry!" He whimpers trying to hide away from my wand. "There is a limited amount of people who may call me that. You are not one of them Crouch!" I say, the man in front of me cowers even more.
"I'm sorry Miss LeStrange. It was wrong of me" Barty says. I take another step away from the cowering mess in front of me and sit on the bed.

Barty is on his knees. I drop my wand into my pocket. "Get up Barty and start acting like a man" I State, the crying fool stands up.

I feel both men exit my mind and raise my walls of my mind again. "When did this happen?" My father asks
"The week before you came back daddy."
He glares at Severus "Did you know of this!"
"No my Lord. Caitlyn did not tell me, but after seeing the memory, I am proud of her, for the way she stuck up for herself." Severus says.
"As am I. You handled that very well Pre..." He hesitates on the word Precious. "Who is the limited amount of people?" He asks.
"You father, and Severus but he doesn't usually call me things such as Precious. Mother, Uncle Lucius or Aunt Cissa." I state. Father nods.
"You handled that very well precious. I am very proud. You were cool calm and you acted just like I would of" He says, and I smile. I hadn't heard Severus move closer but I felt his hand on my shoulder.

"You are dismissed" Father says to everyone. "Have a good day precious" He says to me, kissing my cheek. "What are your plans?" He asks.
Severus once again buts in. "I was planning on taking your daughter out for lunch, and to gather her new school supplies. With your permission my Lord" Father nods. Considering it was only 9am, I giggled.
"I plan on going to get dressed and go to the library" I say
"I was planning on leaving at half 11 Sweetness" Severus says. I nod.
"I shall be ready and waiting in my room" I say. Lucius, Cissa and Draco had left. Severus also departed to get ready for our just arranged date.

I stood and began to leave the room until I heard..."Precious please may I have a word" I turned back round and went and sat with my father again. "Whilst in the company of Severus and the Malfoy's I will continue to call you precious just as I hope you are going to refer to me as daddy..." He blushed "I actually like it." I nod in agreement. "Whilst around, my other followers. Those liberties cannot be taken. Therefore. I will refer to you as Caitlyn or My daughter. I wish to ask that you stick to father please."
"Of course Father." I say. "Have you thought about me and Severus any more daddy?" I ask

"I believe that I told you, that you must wait a week." I fix my father with a puppy dog stare and a pout. "Fine. So far, I believe that I may allow this courting to continue, but that is not my final word" I smile and hug my father.
"Thank you daddy. May I go get ready for my date?" He sighs and nods. I run to my bedroom.

2 hours later Severus knocked on my door. I was sat on my bed reading, so engrossed in my book that I had not heard him, so thus he entered and scared me. My wand was drawn and pointed in less than a second of hearing my door open. "Severus. I did not hear you knock. I'm sorry" I say giggling and replacing my wand in my new leather boots (Gifted to me by my father, well he gave me the money to buy them). Severus chuckled slightly.
"Are you ready to go my love?" He asks. I nod as he takes my hand. We pass my father as we leave. "Goodbye My Lord" Severus says just as I say "Bye Daddy" He nods in response as we leave Malfoy Manor via the Floo network. We go to Hogsmead as Severus wants to do lunch first.

We go to a table in the three broomsticks, right at the back, disillusioned to everybody, bar Madam Rosmerta. We sat, and talked, and eat and talked more and had a nice lunch then Severus uttered the words. "Time to go shopping." We used the Floo network to get to Diagon Alley from Hogsmead.

Back At Malfoy Manor. (Voldermort's point of view)

So my one and only daughter want to love Severus Snape. She's 15. She doesn't understand the meaning of love and Severus is certainly not the right man for my precious sweet little Caitlyn. He says he loves her. She says she loves him... Let him prove it... but how...How can I test Severus without Caitlyn realizing.

Wait a minute. There going shopping. I could always...No she'd find out...Not if...I think this idea could work. He owes me a favor or 10, I'm sure I could make this work...If I sent him to Diagon Alley, he could always use the Imperius Curse. Get some poor wizard to do it... This could actually work.

He'd Imperius the Wizard. Get the Wizard to attack my daughter... Then see how Severus reacts. I know how I want him to act. This is going to be the deciding factor...

* I know in the books there is only Barty crouch Sr and Jr but this is fanfiction so... :)

So there we go. Cali has finally met her father. I am so sorry on the length of space between my updates, but i've been struggling...with personal issues, but im back and i'm full of new ideas XD
