Chapter 2: Welcome to Hogwarts!

At 9 o'clock the next morning Severus knocked on Sabrina's door.

"Sabrina?" He called out. He opened the door and turned the light on. "Sabrina, it's time to get up." Sabrina didn't stir. He tried shaking her. "Great, I have a daughter who can sleep through any major catastrophe."

He walked to the only window and pulled aside the drapes. He closed his eyes against the sudden brightness.

Standing next to Sabrina's bed again, he looked down at her, thinking. "How the hell am I supposed to wake you up?" He asked Sabrina's sleeping form. He shook her again, harder this time and spoke louder. "Sabrina, we are going to speak with Dumbledore today. You need to get up."

Sabrina rolled over and mumbled. "No, Mummy, don't want too."

Severus made a weird face. "I'm not your Mother. Sabrina, you have an hour to get ready before we go see the Headmaster."

Sabrina sat up and exclaimed. "An hour! Oh my gosh! Gotta hurry!"

Severus stood aside as Sabrina rushed to the bathroom. "That seemed to work well." He shook his head and left the room.

An hour later Sabrina emerged out of her room, showered, dressed, make- upped, and hair perfectly curled. She wore a pair of Paris Blue blue jeans, at hot pink t-shirt that said "I wish I were royalty" along with other sayings such as "My crown will be the brightest" and "I will get my own Prince" and she had on a pair of Old Navy flip-flops that were hot pink with a light pink strip around the bottom.

Severus looked up form the couch. He was silent for a moment. It was amazing how much she reminded him of her Mother.

"Ready then?" He asked, and stood up.

"Yup." She replied.

"Okay, follow me."

They left the dungeons and headed towards the Headmasters office. Sabrina watched in awe as the gargoyle moved away and the stairs rose.

"Ah, come in!" Dumbledore greeted them. "Good morning Sabrina, Severus. How are you? Care for a lemon drop?" He offered.

"Oh, yes!" Sabrina exclaimed. "Mmm, thanks."

"You're welcome. Well, shall we start? I see that you've signed up for Year 6 Advanced Potions, Transfiguration, Charms, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Astronomy, Ancient Runes, and Muggle Studies. That is fine with me seeing as you've made Outstanding on all those one your O.W.L.s. Is that all correct?"

"Yes, sir." Sabrina said.

"Okay, then, now with classes out of the way, I think it would be best to have you Sorted Sunday evening and you can begin classes Monday. That will give you today, tomorrow and the weekend to get familiar with the school. Does that sound good to you Severus?" Dumbledore asked.

"Yes, sir." Severus replied.

"Good. Once you've been Sorted you may move into your House dorms. Or, if Severus doesn't mind, I will allow you to stay with him."

Sabrina nodded. "Okay."

"You don't have to decide anything until Sunday. That's all I think. Am I forgetting anything Severus?"

"I don't think so, sir. I think you covered everything."

"Okay then! You may go. Another lemon drop before you go Sabrina?"

She smiled. "Just one more!"

Severus just shook his head as they stood up to leave.

"Have a good day!" The Headmaster said.

"You too." They both replied.

Once out in the hall again, Severus asked, "What do you want to do now?"

"Eat." She stated. "I'm hungry."

"Alright, we'll go to the kitchens then."

He started walking again and Sabrina followed beside him.

After tickling the pear they stood inside the kitchen. A house elf came up to them.

"P-professor Snape! Good morning sir! How can Dobby help you?"

"Sabrina missed breakfast. She needs something to eat."

Dobby turned to Sabrina. "And what would Miss be wanting?"

"Um, I want some scrambled eggs, sausage, hash browns, and toast, please." Sabrina said.

"Yes, Dobby will get it right away Miss."

They watched as Dobby ran off to make breakfast. Then Snape pointed to the table and they sat down.

"Don't you have classes to teach?" Sabrina asked.

"I don't have any morning classes today. My first class is after lunch." Severus told her.

"Oh, then I guess if it weren't for me you would have slept in." Sabrina said.

"No, I don't usually sleep in."

"Really? I take all the sleep I can get!" Sabrina exclaimed.

"I didn't notice." Severus let out sarcastically.

"Sorry, I'm kind of hard to wake. Should have told you that."

"It's alright. Do you get up with an alarm clock?" He asked.

"Yeah, I have one somewhere." She stated.

"So, what would you like to do this afternoon?"

"Um, can I come sit in on your class?" She asked.

"I guess that would be okay. I have Year 6 Slytherin and Gryffindors. You can see who some of your classmates are." He said.

"Cool. I'll have to go back and get some things from my room though."

"Okay."

They were interrupted by another house elf. "Winky is wanting to know what Miss would like to drink."

"Oh, some hot chocolate would be nice." Sabrina told the small elf.

"Yes, Miss. Dobby is almost finished with you breakfast." She ran off much like Dobby did. And right on cue Dobby entered with a large plate of steaming food.

"Here is food for Miss." He said.

"Thank you." Sabrina said, and began to eat.

They were silent for a while. Winky brought in her drink and quickly left.

Then Severus broke their silence. "I should warn you, not every student here loves me." Sabrina looked up at him. "Well, I have to be a little unfair for appearance sake. The Gryffindors hate me because I'm mean and unfair. And the Slytherins love me because I'm mean and unfair to the Gryffindors. I just wanted you to know, so you wouldn't be surprised during class if I do something."

Sabrina was quiet for a while. She remembered what her Mother had told her about her Father, about why she had to leave. Not because she didn't love him or he didn't love her, but because they weren't supposed to be together and if she had stayed Sabrina's life would be in danger. Her Mother told her that he was really good deep down, but he had to keep up the outward appearance for the sake of his life. Until it was over he would be like that. Sabrina understood. She was even kind of proud of her Father for risking his life so that the good side would have a chance to win. She looked back up at him and smiled.

"I know. It's alright." She said.

He looked at her, shock in his eyes. Then he nodded, slowly.

"I know you're a good guy. You're perfectly nice to me, so I'm okay with it."

"How—did..." He trailed off.

"Mum told me." Was all she said.

"Oh." He took it in. "And you're okay... with it?" He asked.

"Of course." She said. "I mean, if you're willing to risk your life then you can't be all that bad. If it weren't that way then I might not have taken it so well when Mum told me, but it's not like that is it?"

He shook his head, still not knowing what to say. It was kind of awkward to just be about to tell your child, which you just met, that you're a Death Eater, and find out that she already knows. And that she's perfectly okay with it! This had to be some kind of dream. Nothing ever went this well for Severus Snape!

"Don't worry. I won't tell anyone." Sabrina said, assuringly.

Yes! 2nd chapter done! I'm good! Well, yeah, you know the drill... review! Oh, and I'm still not sure about what house I should put Sabrina in! So, any ideas would be greatly appreciated! I've got great plans for this story! Just have to get there! luvs and smooches
