got nothing to say except:
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter!!
Chapter 1: Along comes Sabrina
Severus Snape waited in the train station with two documents in his hands. He was still in as much shock as when he had first read the letter. And the picture. Well, he couldn't even believe that until he saw her with his own eyes. He read the letter once more as he saw the train begin to pull into the station.
Dear Mr. Snape,
With the recent death of Lena Snape, you are left with the custody of your daughter, Sabrina Snape. Enclosed is all the information about Sabrina and a picture of her. We will be waiting for your reply.
Sincerely,
The Ministry of Magic
He had sent his response. Even he, the greasy old git, couldn't turn away a child, especially his own. And even if he didn't know he had a daughter!
The train had stopped and the passengers began to get off. Snape looked at the picture once more and began to look for Sabrina.
Sabrina stepping off the train. She had no clue where to go or who was coming to get her. Her Father, she guessed, but she had now clue who he was, or what he looked like! No one had had a picture of him. So, now she was looking around feeling like an idiot, something now sixteen year old wanted to feel like.
She looked up and saw a pale, greasy black- haired man in black robes approach her.
'Is that him? Not what I expected at all.' She thought.
Sabrina had long, curly, blonde hair, that was soft and she thought it was perfect. She looked at his eyes. They were dark, almost black, just like hers.
'Must be him.'
He reached her and Father and daughter stared at one another for the first time. Snape looked at the picture.
"Sabrina?" He asked.
She nodded, slowly. "Severus Snape?"
"Yes." He replied.
"Well, um, nice to meet you." She stuck her hand out slowly, not knowing how he would react. He took it.
"Nice to meet you too. I'm sure you have more bags that that." He stated, pointing to her book bag.
"Oh, yes, quite a few." She said.
"Shall we get a cart for them then?" He asked.
"Sure."
Once the cart was found and the luggage retrieved, Severus led Sabrina to the car the Ministry had lent him.
The car ride to Hogwarts was quiet, each passenger lost in their own thoughts.
Sabrina stared out the car window as they pulled up to Hogwarts. She fell in love with the castle almost and once.
The driver came around and opened the door for her.
"Thank you." She said, still staring around at all of Hogwarts.
Severus stood next to her.
"The house elves will take your things to my chambers. You will be staying there until you are Sorted. Then, you may move into your House dorms. You must be hungry. It should be dinner time by now." Severus informed.
Sabrina looked at him. "Yes, I'm a little hungry."
"Let's go then."
Sabrina nodded, then looked back over to the Forbidden Forest.
"You have your own forest." She stated.
"Yes, the Forbidden Forest. It is off limits to the students." Severus said.
"Oh, too bad. I would have liked to check it out." She said, and followed Snape inside.
"You may sit with me and the other teachers, or you can sit with the students if you like." Severus told Sabrina.
She looked at him once more. "I'd like to sit with you." She said.
He gave her a quick nod, the opened the doors to the Great Hall.
The Hall became very quiet as the students stopped their conversations and turned to where Severus and Sabrina stood. Sabrina got nervous and looked at her Father. His face held no emotion in it. She turned back to the students and set her face as well, and followed her Father towards the teacher's table.
When they sat the students began to talk again. Who was the new girl? Why was she sitting with the teachers? And most importantly, why was she with Snape? Sabrina ignored them and tried to eat. She was hungry, but as always, as of late, the food tasted like ash in her mouth.
She finally gave up and sat back in her chair. She looked around the Great Hall and at the students. It was different than The Salem Witches' Institute, but it was still beautiful.
Severus looked over at Sabrina. He noticed she wasn't eating and that her plate had hardly been touched.
"Are you not hungry?" He asked, slightly worried.
"Oh, well, I am, but nothing ever tastes good anymore." She said.
"Oh." Was all he said. What was he supposed to do? He was a teacher, but he really didn't know how to handle a child of his own. He would have to talk with Dumbledore later. All the kids seemed to love him.
'Well, of course they do.' Severus thought. 'He's always offering them candy. He's like a kid himself.'
He quickly finished his meal and turned back to Sabrina.
"If you're done we can head to my chambers and get you settled in. We'll talk with the Headmaster in the morning."
"Alright." She said. She looked out at all the students.
Severus followed her gaze. "We'll leave through the door over there." He said, pointing to a door just off to the side of the teacher's table.
"Okay." Sabrina said, relieved.
They got up and left. Sabrina followed Severus all the way to the dungeons. He told her the password to his rooms and they entered.
He showed Sabrina into the extra room she would be staying in. her things were already there as promised.
Severus looked around the room. "Is everything here?" He asked.
Sabrina surveyed the room and her things. "Looks like it."
"Okay, good." He took in a strangely shaped case. "What's that?" He asked.
Sabrina stole a glance at the box. "Oh, that's my violin."
"You play?" He asked.
"Yeah." She replied.
Severus sighed. "I guess there are a lot of things that I have to learn about you, but I'm sure you're tired. We can talk later." He said.
"Well, it's kind of early. So, I probably won't be able to go to sleep right now. If you don't have anything to do we could talk, if you want that is." Sabrina offered.
Snape considered. "Alright. We can talk out in the Common Room."
They left the room and went to sit down on the couch in front of a blazing fire.
Sabrina looked at her Father. It felt so weird to think of him as her Father. After sixteen years of just living with a Mother, he was just so different.
"Just tell me about yourself." Severus said.
"Okay. Well, my birthday is October 31st. I'm sixteen. I was born in the U.S. Mum moved there when she was pregnant with me. Lived in the same place my whole life, until now. Some of my things are still at that house, so I'll eventually have to go back to get them. But that's all stuff I don't need for school. Um, well, obviously I play violin. I dance, jazz mostly, sometimes a little modern and ballet.
"My best friend is a muggle who I met in elementary school. We both go to boarding school now, so we hang out on holidays. Mum's parents live in London. They always came to visit for Christmas. They're muggles. I was going to live with them, but since you were still alive they thought it was best I lived with you because you are a wizard. And you ended up being a teacher here."
She stopped for a quick breath.
"So your Grandparents didn't think badly of me?" Severus asked.
"Oh, no! Mum didn't talk about you that often, I think it made her too sad, but when she did it was always good. She never stopped loving you. Never even dated another guy. She changed her last name to Snape when she moved to the U.S. and gave me that name too. I never knew what you looked like though, except that I had your eyes. I guess Mum put all the pictures in the attic. We can check when we get the rest of the stuff there."
"Where did you live?" Severus asked.
"We lived in New York. It's a great place. In the summer Mum and I would go dance at all the clubs. We had a lot of fun together."
"Yes, she always did like to have fun and enjoy herself."
"What about you? Did you ever get married or date?" Sabrina asked.
"No, your Mother was the only woman I ever loved. Still do." He replied.
"So, you teach Potions right?" Sabrina changed the subject.
"Yes, I'm the Potions Master. Will you be joining my Year 6 Advanced Potions class?"
Sabrina smiled. "Of course! I guess I get my knack for Potions from you."
Severus actually smiled too. "I'm glad. It is a difficult class though. I won't be easy on you."
"Good, I would expect it to be hard if it's and Advanced class. Maybe you can give me something to start on if I don't start classes this week. Just so I'm not too behind." Sabrina said.
"I can do that."
"Coo. So, tell me about Hogwarts. What House's are there?"
For the next couple of hours Severus explained about Hogwarts and such. By the end of the night the awkward just-met-you feeling was gone.
So ends the first chapter! Review people! It makes authors happy and want to update more often! luvs and smooches
