Anonymous: I'm glad you like the idea of two Snapes ^-^ I do too. I've
always wished I was related to him! ^-^
Shannon!: Well, here's what happens next ^-^ And I'm glad you like and enjoy this fic. I'm happy you think she's cool.
A/N: So few reviews.... but I did get 11... for 6 chapters, that's almost 2 per chapter! (On average of course) In this chapter, you find out exactly what the gift is! (but you all ready guessed, didn't you?) And you get a bit of foreshadowing. I'm still uber-debating pairings.. so ideas are helpful.

Chapter 7: The Gift
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ves reached into the box slowly as a soft hiss escaped her lips. Her twin could not have come up with a better gift if he'd asked her opinion first. An answering hiss escaped the box confirming her belief that this was, indeed, the most wonderful gift she'd ever received.
//Get me the hell out of here!// was the response to her inquiry.
So Ves lifted out the two foot long green and silver viper, which promptly slithered up her hand to curl around her forearm. Listening to the hissed curses, directed towards Severus, Ves lifted her head to look at her brother with shining eyes.
"Oh, Sev..." she trailed off, unable to voice the happiness welling up inside of her.
"I'm glad you like him," her brother said while looking uncomfortable. "He does have quite a dirty mouth, though. He didn't stop hissing insults at me until I got to the door of the classroom. Should be interesting how he reacts to the students."
Looking at her new pet, Ves felt a contentment that had been absent since she had gone under the charm. She had a new pet, her brother, and Hogwarts' loving presence once again. Now to start meddling in Sev's life to find him a woman, or a man, to help him settle down.
Looking down at the viper, she hissed softly. "What isss your name, ssssmall one?"
Silence filled the room for a moment before the response hissed forth.
"Sssysssleen."
Ves' eyes brightened, then she grinned, "You are a very lovely viper, Sssysssleen. I've not seen many females so colorful."
Sssysssleen hissed her pleasure before curling more firmly into place and falling asleep wound around the woman's arm.
Ves watched the snake tiny smile, murmuring to her brother, "Remind me later to try and teach you Parseltongue again. It must be frustrating to only understand some of it and not be able to speak any of it."
His only response was a soft snore. He'd fallen asleep at the desk. How uncomfortable.

A/N: Well, there's another chapter. Sorry it took so long, I've been having such a hard time writing lately. It's rather annoying. . So yes, please feed the author. If you read, please review...I'd like at least two reviews before the next chapter (more is much better, but I can't be demanding...)
