Chapter 2 Snape's other life
Draco and Mariella had taken about one hour to complete now they were making their way to Snape's Chambers.
"You know Mariella, Snape will explain everything eventually. He is just the type of person that won't just open up to you right away" said Draco
" I know I should know better then that Draco, but it is so hard for me to even comprehend why he let me go in the first place. I could have stayed with him I'm sure Hogwarts would have been somewhere safe for me. Where I was before was not somewhere to be safe"
Draco stopped mid way through a hallway to look at her.
"Mariella for us Slytherin's showing emotion is not someone that comes easy. Snape has hidden who he really is for a very long time. Who knows as you try and find out more about yourself maybe he'll start opening up again. He needs someone like you Snape has never really had anyone to share his life with. He's been a very lonely man. At least that's how I've seen my head of house for the last 6 years" said Draco
"I'm really sorry Draco I didn't mean to make you feel pressured. I just really want to have a real life. I have never had anything that was stable"" speaking of that what are you doing in school 3 weeks early if you are a Slytherin I don't really see you being here. I've had a chance to read up on all of Hogwarts history" said Mariella
"I'm not here out of pure enjoyment trust me I do enjoy being here but my father is a real jerk like your father he is a death eater but he takes for the dark side and he is so set on me joining him that all else blinds him. It also unnerves him that I don't get that good of grades and that I may not have a chance of getting anywhere with me life" said Draco
"I wouldn't think that I mean I'm sure you can make something of yourself grade are not always what matters when you are looking for a job and it's always wanting something you like that matters more" Said Mariella
They were now at Snape's quarters and Draco knocked.
"Come in" he said and the door opened.
"Dear! Draco what do you do move in here every year I don't think I've ever seen a student bring so much to school before" said Snape
"Professor, I actually moved into the leaky Cauldron about 2 weeks ago not even my mother knows where I am. Damn father of mine he has made my life so miserable" said Draco
"What's wrong with your shoulder Draco, you seem to have some discomfort ever since you came here" said Snape
"Damn father decided to have a physical battle with me when we were having a discussion. He through me across the dungeons at Malfoy mansion that's why I came here I thought that he probably wouldn't come looking for me after all the ministry officials watching over him he can't do a lot around here" said Draco
"I am going to make us diner in a little while, what do you think Mariella" asked Snape
Mariella merely looked at him. She had been completely ignored since Draco and she had walked back into the room. She was a little insecure at the fact that he didn't really actually acknowledged her but she was listening to Draco and trying to give him a chance.
"Yeah that sounds great but don't you guys have a kitchen here?" she asked
"Yeah we do, we also have a great hall, and kitchens but I thought some of my home cooking would do you two some good" he said smiling "how long has it been since either of you have had a home cooked meal?" he asked
"I would answer never professor my mother has never cooked a day in her life, my father has always had servants take care of us. And I don't think my mother had a lot of culinary talent to begin with" said Draco
"The day your brother and sister in law died is the last time I had mine and that was well over 6 years ago" she said
Snape got a look of sadness in his eyes when she mentioned his brother he had been part of the raid that had killed him. He had not actually done the killing he had tried to go and warn his brother but had gotten there too late.
"Professor if you don't mind me asking what was your brother's name. Did you have any other siblings?" asked Draco
"He was my older Brother he was in your fathers class actually and Lucius had tried to convince him that the Dark Lord was the way to go but my brother wanted to head into Auror training when school was done. I had been a typical rebellious teenager after my mothers death and I was careless about what I did I got a 6th year Slytherin pregnant your mother would be that lovely lady and we both wanted to join the dark lord but my brother who's name was Salazar by the way was not convincible. We would enter the world of the dark that year your mother was never accepted because she was pregnant and didn't have the perfect qualities. You were born 9 months later and I asked Salazar to watch over you because your mom had a really hard child birth. I knew you would be safer with him then with me who was still teetering in the world of uncertainty" Said Snape
"Did you think you could ever have taken care of me after you got the job here at Hogwarts. I would have dealt with all the things you have to go through. I have been alone for almost 6 years now I don't know how I could have actually survived out there on my own" said Mariella
" Mariella I did not intentionally leave you there for life I really did want to take care of you. My brother was going to protect you and I had all intentions to come and get you again but after a while I really started believing that I was the cold hearted Loner the Dark lord had turned me into. Could I show you something. I expect you have intentions of staying here for a little while" said Snape
"I was hoping something could be worked out between us but of course it all depends on what you are willing to give yourself too. I am more then equipped to live on my own now that I have had to do so for the last few years. I really wish Salazar and Serena hadn't died some days because at least they were decent to me. I am trying really hard to make some headway here but I can't for sure you abandoned me. You left me all alone, I will never see that as fair to me." Said Mariella
"please come with me it's all I ask I need to show you this" said Snape
She not so reluctantly followed him into the hallway into the back of the quarters. He opened a door for her and let her pass ahead of him. She gasped and almost fell to the floor. The room was like the princess room Salazar and Serena had decorated for her only a few months before their death. She had stayed in the house for another 2 years after their death. But she had abandoned the house when she figured people might go looking for her..
