Part 24 : Reunions
"Leave me alone, you silly woman!"
Willow shifted in her bed. The darkness in her mind faded slowly, leaving the space empty for the annoying man with the hammer. Her head was pounding! And the yelling wasn't helping the matter. She groaned and put her hand on her forehead. "Could any of you stop the yelling? It seems it encourages the annoying man with the hammer," she mumbled. She opened her eyes when she heard her father say her name.
"Willow!" Severus jumped from his bed, already dressed into his black robes, and almost ran to get to her.
"Severus Snape! Get back in bed imediatly!"
Willow giggled as she watched her father and the nurse in a glaring contest, each trying to make the other back down. "Well, things have been... lively when I was out, it seems." She smirked when Severus' glare turned to her. She lifted one eyebrow. "Not very effective, especially when I have the same one, *daddy*."
He pressed his lips together, fighting hard not to laugh. She was his daughter, alright. "Talking about paternity, don't you think it would have been a good idea to inform me *before* yelling it at Voldemort in front of the entire school?"
She shrugged. "Less problems this way. I won't have to explain to everybody my family history."
"When you put it like that, it does make sense."
"Speaking of his royal pain in the ass, how's Voldemort doing?"
"He's... indisposed."
"Like dead?"
"Something like that."
"Damn! Me who wanted to get to know him better. What about the rest of the Death Eaters?"
"They've been taken to Azkaban. The Minister is making arrangements for their children to be taken under the government's wing."
Willow smiled. "Good thing for them. Better for their future." She took his hand in hers. "I'd really like for us to talk some more. Maybe later this evening? I'd like to say hello to my friends."
He kissed her hand, then gave her her clothes. "Better go change before that annoying woman comes back and tries to take them away from you. 'Till tonight, daughter." Severus stood up and left the infirmary, letting Willow dress so she could make a run out of the nurse's santuary.
Hearing the grumbling nurse coming back from her office, Willow made a run for it, almost slamming in the closed door in her hurry to be away from the infirmary. She ran all the way down the steps, jumping over the false ones and almost winning another free trip to the infirmary. She bypassed a surprised McGonagall as well as some Hufflepuffs who screamed upon seeing her.
Everything was well, especially when she opened the portrait leading to the Slytherin common room and heard Pansy screaming as she was hit by it, making her fall back. "Ooops! Sorry!" she yelled behind her, with a tone that said she was sorry at all.
Several heads turned to see the red haired tornado making a run for the blond sitting in front of the fireplace. Draco screamed when a squealing mass jumped on his back. Willow laughed at his astonished expression. "Don't scream again, Draco. It makes you look dumb." He glared at her and she just giggled. "Now, you only need black hair and you could be part of the Snape family. You know that *the* glare is a prerequisite. Like this." She turned around and glared at the bunch of students openly glancing their way. They quickly went back to their previous occupation.
Draco smirked. "You did that as well as your father."
"I know."
His face became serious. "For one moment, I really thought I'd lost you."
"You never did, not for one moment." She sat down beside him. "I went in the forbidden forest after the incident in Potions. Lucius and Voldemort were waiting for me. They were pretty convincing. But still, I didn't tell them about my status as a wandless witch or Severus being my father. I kept that to myself. I have a dark side, Draco, probably darker than Voldemort when speaking of mind games. My plan was to work by his side and take his place when the opportunity arise. But you never lost me. No matter how dark my plans were, I always figured you by my side."
Draco lifted her chin and gently kissed her. Willow wouldn't have any of it. She grabbed the back of his neck and pulled him more firmly against her. She opened her mouth when she felt the tip of his tongue on her lips. His arms encircled her and brought her to his lap.
Willow broke the kiss and watched Draco with lustful eyes. "I think we'd better go somewhere else because everyone's staring at us." He laughed and picked her up. They almost ran to Draco's room and kicked his roommates out.
Draco dumped the redhead on his bed and crawled on top of her. "And now, you're mine."
"I wouldn't have it any other way." She smiled and pulled him down, capturing his lips in a passionate kiss.

Willow's POV
That's basically the most interesting stuff that happened this year. I went to Hogwarts, got sorted into Slytherin, became friend with Hermione and I've got myself a boyfriend, Draco Malfoy. I discovered a was a pure blood and that my father was no other than the surely Potions Master Sevrus Snape. I lost control over my power, became one of Voldemort's follower, killed said Dark Lord and got back to my true self in no time at all.
For the couple of months left before the ending of the school year, I spent my time alterning between classes, talking with my father and getting quality time with the Slytherin Prince.
Draco is staying with his mother this summer. Lucius has been sent to Azkaban with the rest of the alive Death Eaters. The Ministry of Magic finally did something useful. But it could be because Arthur Weasly's at the head of it now. That's a great improvement.
As for me, I talked to my 'parents'. From now on, I'll be staying with Severus Snape, meeting my real family. I can't wait to see if they all got the sneer. Got to be something to see. I still get the stares because of my last name. It seems like noone can get used to the teachers calling me miss Snape. I hope it'll change next year. Sure, Hermione and Draco laugh their heads off everytime I glare at a student who's been staring too long. It's not them who's being watched as if they expect me to give them detention in the dungeons and sprout greasy black hair. Black hair, yes. Greasy, no. But only when I turn evil... or when I want to, which somehow happens often when Pansy's around. I like to make her squeal in fright.
That's about it. Just like a regular year on the Hellmouth. I'll should be used to it by now. I hope next year will be a bit more relax. I doubt it, but a girl can hope. Oh well! I'll just have to wait until September...
...if I don't get killed by my father for annoying him before that time.
