STARTING FROM THE BEGINNING
CHAPTER 2
Helena was amazed . In all her life, she has nerver seen a place as big as Hogwarts . The corridors were huge and full of nice paintings . It was like entering a new universe
After a little walk, Snape led her to Dumbledore's office . The old wizard welcomed them with a smile
« Ah Miss Setendale ! Have a sit please »
Helena did as told and the headmaster started talking again
« First, I want to tell you that i'm terribly sorry for your loss »
« thank you headmaster » helena said
« Now that you are here we must find you a place to stay for the rest of the summer . Do you know any member of your family who has a house where you would stay ? »
« No sir . I .I don't know any member of my family . I was told i had an aunt in England but i don't know where she lives. As for my father . »
Helena saw Snape flinch at the mention of her father. Maybe he knew him ? Or at least his name. Her mother had always refused to tell her anything about her father, except that he had killed people . « It's to protect you » she used to say .
It often left her to wonder . Her mother woudn't have had a child with a murderer ? Maybe he just changed suddently
No,she thought, it's stupid . One can't wake up one day and decide to kill people .
Helena stopped thinking and turned her attention to Dumbledore who had started speaking again
« I shall talk to the professors to see if one of them can take you into their house » he said
« Thanks, sir » helena replied
« For now, Dobby will lead you to th chamber where you will be staying until we find you a place to stay for the rest of the summer

« No, no and absolutely no Albus » said Severus Snape . The Headmaster had just asked her to keep Helena for the summer . Being the man he was, he refused
« Severus, it's the only way for her to be safe .
Voldemort believe she is dead but if he learns the truth the won't come looking for her at the Snape Manor » Dumbledore said
« You certanly know who her father is ? » snape asked, anger starting to grow
« Yes, Severus, I do »
« And you still want me to keep the girl for the summer ? I respect you Albus,really, but are you crazy ? »
« Everyone is crazy, Severus, especially the one who claim to be perfectly healthy » the wise headmaster replied
« Don't play that with me Albus . That girl look exactly like her father . i bet she's as arrogant, carefree and dangerous as him . »
« That girl has juste lost her mother. Do you really think that the only thing i her head is what prank to pull on you ? » the old wizard asked
« i didn't say that but . » Snape was interrupted by the headmaster
« Miss Setendale doesn't know anyhing about her father, she doesn't even know his name, so i guess it's safe to say that she won't act like him .
What she needs now, is support. Not somebody who will judge her for her father's fault »
« i'm not sure i can provide her that . You know that i'm not the best for .hum. human relations » severus said, blushing lightly
« Well I think that could do you some good to have her at you house for a little while » Albus said
« All right, I accept . But don't expect me to be nice or something . And if there's any problem, you will find her a new place »
« Oh, i trust there will be no problem, quite the contrary actually » the headmaster replied, his eyes twinkling
« I swear Albus, sometimes you are scaring me »
*************
Severus Snape was walking through the corridors . He was going to tell Helena that she was going to live with him .
He didn't know how to do it . Should he go straight to the point ?
Also, he didn't know how she would react . Was she going to be happy ? Or maybe she'll go to the headmaster to ask him another house to live.
Severus would have bet on the second one .
After all,he thought,no one has ever been happy to live with him
********************
Helena was in the chamber Dumbledore gave to her . She didn't to unpack her things , she would have to move soon enough.
With the loss of her mother, all she wanted was a quiet life and all that change didn't help her
She just wished that Dumbledore took a decision rapidly so she could settle down for a while
One thing was sure, she was going to miss home
Her house in France was really nice. Small and cosy . They didn't have enough money for a big house .
But her mother gave her love and that was more than enough
A few moments later, she heard a knock on the door
« Come in » she said
It was Pr. Snape
« Miss Setendale, The Headmaster and I took a decision regarding where you should live »
That got Helena interested
« Really, where ? » she asked, excited
« At my place : the snape manor » he replied, smiling uneasily
Helena did something he wasn't expecting, she smiled back
The summer was going to be interesting, Helena thought
That man seemed very secretive, and probably had something to hide
And the most important thing : he might know something about her father .
