How Love Changes Us

Severus Snape sat on a normal muggle bench, trying to blend in. His eyes stopped scanning the crowd and looked back at the letter silently reading it.
Dear Severus Snape,
We are sorry to inform you that Jasmine Baker has passed away. She died on August 12th from unknown causes. We must call upon you to take care of your children. Raven and Krystal will be waiting at the Kings Cross Train Station for you. You are the only person left blood related to them, and if you do not accept the responsibility of taking care of them then they will be sent to foster care.
Thanks for your time and consideration.
Genevieve Rere
Head of Social Services

Of coarse there had been no doubt in his mind that he would take the girls in. All though truth be told, Snape had no idea that he had daughters. He of coarse knew that Jasmine had always wanted children but he never knew that he was the father of them. If only he'd known. Things would definitely be different.
The clock struck twelve and Snape snapped out of his dream-like stance. Quickly he scanned the crowd searching for someone that resembled Jasmine. When his eyes landed on two girls that had long blonde hair and were rather tall and skinny he had no doubt in his mind that they were his children.
They both stood clung to one another, their blonde hair coming down to just beyond their shoulders. Their blue eyes twinkled in the sunlight and their eyes scanned the crowd not knowing who they were looking for. The only way you could tell that the girls were Snape's children was that they had his high cheek bones that were always tinted with a slight rosy quality.
'I had twins!' Snape reminded himself. He had always wanted twins. Jasmine wanted them, and that caused Snape to want them. Boys are what he would prefer but the girls in front of him reminded him of her, and he wasn't complaining to have a reminder of her everyday.
Suddenly one of the girls eye's made contact with his. Snape just stared back into the eyes that their mother had. The girl nudged her sister and they both looked at him. Snape stood from his bench and made his way over, dodging people as he went by.
"Are you Severus Snape?" The girl on the right asked.
Snape nodded his head. The girl on the right smiled but the one on the left stood and glared at him.
"You're not expecting us to call you Dad are you? Because we're not." She spat. Snape turned his gaze toward her. 'She definitely got my attitude.' he thought.
"Just call me..." he trailed off. What should they call him? He is their father, but he has never been there for them. He isn't their professor. 'Oh Merlin! They aren't magical! I had squibs!' he thought. In fact it seemed that way, being that they were sixteen. Severus was too formal though. Snape wasn't polite. But he hadn't been polite to them, leaving them all by themselves. "Snape." he finished.
The one on the left raised her eyebrows but the one on the right stuck out her hand. "Don't mind, Krys," she said. "I'm Raven." Snape shook her hand and turned to the other girl.
"Don't be expecting me to bow down before you like Rave here." she said jabbing her thumb toward her sister who glared at her. "I'm Krystal, call me Krystal. Nothing else." She said scowling.
Before Snape or the twins could say anything else there was a squeak and someone popped out behind Krystal. She had very curly black hair that came down to above her shoulders. Her eyes were deep brown almost black, and she had a small round face. She still was half hidden behind Krystal and looked skeptically at Snape.
"Where Mama?" she asked her eyes filling with tears. Snape looked at her strangely and she ducked behind Krystal.
"Sh Holly, she's not here." Krystal said bending down to look her square in the eye. "Sweety, she's not going to come back." Krystal said looking sadly at the little girl who was on the verge of tears.
"Why not?" she sobbed.
"Because she can't come back." Raven said grabbing the little girl into a hug. The girl cried and the girls turned back to a stunned Snape.
Snape stood speechless for a few moments. "Who's that?" he asked nodding toward the little girl.
"This is our little sister, Holly." Krystal said. "Where we go she goes," she added sternly.
"I don't have room for her." Snape said not meaning so sound rude.
"Then we won't come." Krystal said through gritted teeth. "We're not letting them take her to some orphanage. She's going through a tough time right now and she need familiar faces around."
"I understand, I just don't have room...." Snape did some quick thinking. He wanted to spend time with his daughters. He really did. "Do you mind if you share a room?" He asked hopefully. Although he stressed his words so that it didn't sound like he was hopeful, Severus Snape was not the hopeful kind.
"No prob." Raven said rocking the little girl.
"Well where is your stuff?" Snape asked trying to move the conversation along.
"It's in that." Raven said pointing her thumb behind her. Snape followed the direction to where she was pointing and his mouth almost dropped open. They had at least thirty bags the size of desks. There were small ones and some of them were bigger.
Raven noticed the look on his face and laughed. Snape turned his attention to her. "Well, you can't expect us to have little carry on bags can you? We're are sixteen and she's three. We had our whole lives to pack." She said smiling a smile that could melt almost any heart. Snape's heart however didn't melt. Maybe the ice around it cracked a little but it sure didn't melt. He scowled.
"I would have thought that being sixteen you would have known better than to pack everything, and only take the necessities." He said.
Krystal smirked. "I take after him," she said looking at Raven, who half smiled also. Snape noticed that Raven smiled with the right side of their mouth and had a dimple on the right side, while Krystal had the same on the left. 'How unique.' he thought to himself.
"I wanna go home." Holly said pulling on Raven's sleeve. Raven turned to Snape.
"Grab as much as you can, and we'll be on our way." he said picking up some of the bags. 'This is going to be interesting.' he thought.
