Dust: I'm not going to tell you what was going on through Severus' mind! That's what this chapter is for! MUAHAHAHA WARREN-RITA AND COW SOCKS (private joke)

The Great and Masterful Yoda: Yes, I'm going on with the story. I just don't know where this is going to go.*sighs* Thanks for the review! And you read all 11 chapters in one shot??!?!? I'm impressed!

Queen of the Clarinets: Whoa.I think you drink more soda than Dust, and THAT'S a lot of soda!

Princess Fluffy (2x): I'm not going to tell you anything! Especially the part about Adriana talking to both Narcissa and Severus, because I DON'T KNOW!

With that being said, it's time to move on. To the next chapter!

Chapter 12: Confrontations

I was released from the hospital wing later that afternoon. I needed to stop Draco from owling Mother. More than that, I needed to stop this whole "family meeting" with Snape. I wish I didn't know who my father is. I don't want to be the daughter of a Death Eater! Who knows how many psychological problems I'm going to have now because I found out I'm the daughter of the most hated teacher in Hogwarts! Oh my Lord, this is all so confusing to me.

Unfortunately, I wasn't watching where I was going, because I ran into the bastard. Literally.

"I see you're well, Miss Snape," he said, glaring at me.

I glared right back. "I believe you should spend the night in detention for running into an authority figure."

"You can't do that," I hissed, wanting ever so slightly to rip out his eyes.

"I believe I can," he drawled. "I believe there are some, ah, issues we need to discuss."

"Like hell I'm going!"

"You are so damn stubborn!"

I snorted. "Yes, I believe I got that trait from Narcissa."

"Make that two nights in detention, for disrespecting a teacher.  I also believe young Mr. Malfoy is owling your mother as we speak. I'd hate for your mother to think her precious daughter was going astray."

"I thought you only hated Gryffindors and worshipped your Slytherins," I smirked, knowing that was below the belt, not to mention it would catch him off guard.

He narrowed his eyes. "Get out of my sight!"

"Praise Merlin!" I went around him and calmly walked out of his sight, only to run to the owlery. Draco was still there.

He turned around, his gray eyes saddened when he saw me. "It is too late, Adriana. I have already sent the letter to Mother."

"Why did you do that, Draco?" I asked, worriedly.

"Adriana! You tried to kill yourself! Not only that, I'm worried about you. You're not acting like yourself."

"You actually seem like you care."

"I do!"

"Not when Lucius is around, am I right in saying that, Draco?"

"Shut up! My father expects things like that from me. You've been in the Manor, you ought to know that."

"No wonder Mother left him for Snape."

"She did no such thing! She's still married to my father!"

"I know that, bonehead," I snapped, ignoring his confusion when I called him that name. "But if your father hadn't treated Mother like dirt, she wouldn't have had to sleep with Snape."

"Take that back," he said, advancing towards me.

"Make me!" I replied while he grabbed me by the robe. "You don't scare me! Let me go!"

"Not until you see that you were wrong!"

That did it. He had no right to tell me what to do, the prissy-ass little Momma's boy. Forgetting what the consequences were of attacking a student, I let one fist punch that perfect face, right in the eye.

He let my robes go, while he stepped back from me, clutching his eye.

"You little bitch!"

I laughed. "Now listen here, Draco. I am NOT a slave. I am a human being. You cannot control me!" I spun around, ignoring Draco, wanting to leave his sorry ass in the Owlery.

I tried to open the door, but it wouldn't budge. "Aw, crap!" I muttered under my breath.

"What now?" Draco said, irritated.

"We're stuck in here."

"What did you do, Adriana?"

"I didn't do anything! Would you stop blaming me for everything that goes wrong in your spoiled little life?"

"Watch what you're saying to a school prefect, Adriana! I could easily tell Professor Snape what you have done to me and land you in detention."

"I'm already in detention, dummy! One more night won't kill me."

"Oh, really?" another voice jumped in. Filch was standing in the door. He looked over at Draco. "I see you both deserve a little visit to Professor Snape."

I groaned, while Draco hid a smile. I passed Filch, but I had no intention of going to Snape's office. Draco stopped me. "Oh, no," he hissed in my ear. "You are coming with me."

"No, I'm not," I said, nonchalantly. "I have nothing to say to him."

"I think you do," he said. He grabbed me by the back of my robes and dragged me to Snape's office.

"You little devil!" I whispered, while he just looked at me snugly.

"Draco, go to Madam Pomfrey right away," Snape said, coming out of the shadows. "I daresay that eye needs to be examined."

Draco nodded and left me with the devil. "Fighting in the Owlery, Miss Snape?"

"How many times do I have to say it? It's Miss Malfoy to you."

"Clearly, you are not Malfoy by blood. You are a Snape, and will bear my name."

"You can't control me."

"Adriana," he hesitated. I fought the urge to laugh. He's starting to "care" for me like he does my brother. "I've been doing a lot of thinking."

"Surprisingly," I snorted.

He looked angry for a split second. "I have owled your mother. And we are going to talk this out."

"I see no need for this. If you want to talk, just talk to her. I'm just the result of a drunken night of wild sex, I have no say."

"That's where you're wrong, Adriana."

"Oh so you used an Unforgivable on her?" I sneered.

"I'd never do that to her!"

"But you have no problem using them on innocent people!"

He slammed his hands down on the table. "Enough!"

"Does the truth hurt? How does it feel to have the screams of the dying ringing in your ears?"

"Adriana Nicolette Snape," he growled, coming towards me, leaving barely an inch between his face and mine.

"I will NOT use your name as my own!"

"I thought you wanted to find your parents."

"Not until I found out that YOU were my father!"

"And what of Narcissa?"

"She's been the only one since I arrived in England to actually care about me. You're just trying to make my life miserable, same as Draco!" I turned on my heel and walked calmly out of his office.

I barely made it down the corridor when I heard a male voice say, "I heard everything, Adriana. And I do care about you. I'm not trying to make your life a living hell." Draco. Ugh, perfect.

"I know there's going to be a 'but' somewhere."

"But you can't blame everything on Professor Snape."

"Are you trying to blame me, then?"

"No!"

"I knew I shouldn't have come to England. Forget this, I'm going back to America! I'll go back to my 'Mudblood' life. It's obvious no one really wants me here!"

I left him alone with his thoughts. Meanwhile, I sulked into the Slytherin dorms and packed for my return trip to America.

(A/N) You know, I just realize it's been over a year since I started this story. I also need to update my mailing list. So if you would like an e-mail when I update, please leave it in a review.
