Chapter 3: Getting to Know Hogwarts
Sabrina sat in the front corner of the room, slightly hidden from the shadows, but the students could still see her as they came in. She was busy writing in a spiral notebook. On the floor by her was a khaki green bag with pink straps that said, 'I'd Rather Be Dancing' in pink letters on the front. She glanced up ever so often to take a look at the students. She happened to be looking up when three particular students came in, two boys and a girl. One boy had black hair and his eyes were a brilliant green. The other boy was tall, lanky, and a red head. The girl with them was about her height, five-five or so, with brown eyes, and bushy brown hair. They all took seats in the back.
Up front, another boy caught her eye. Slytherin, for he wore green and silver. His hair was bleach blonde and his eyes cold steel. He intrigued her. The air about him was everything but proud and arrogant. Yet, she was still drawn to him.
He caught her eye and stared at her. Sabrina smiled at him. He got an odd look on his face before he turned his attention to her Father.
Snape didn't say much of anything during class. Sabrina knew it was for her sake. Luckily for him, a young man named Neville was partnered with the bushy haired girl, Hermoine she learned, so there were no mess-ups.
It was just like any other class. Sabrina amused herself with her writing and she read. She half-listened to anything her Father said.
When the class was cleaning up as it neared time to go, Sabrina approached her Father.
"I'm going to go back to my room now." She told him.
"Alright. Do you need help getting there?" He asked.
"Oh, yeah." She said, embarrassed.
"Okay. Draco." He called out. The blonde boy looked up and walked over to where they were.
"Yes, sir?"
"I need you to take Sabrina back to my chambers please. Come back and I'll give you a pass to your next class." Severus said.
"Okay."
Sabrina and Draco moved to gather their things, then Sabrina followed Draco through the dungeons.
"I'm Sabrina." She started the conversation, after a few uncomfortable silent moments.
"Draco Malfoy." He replied. "What are you doing here at Hogwarts? And staying with Professor Snape?"
"Oh, my Mother did just recently, so I came to live here."
"Why here with Snape?"
"Because he's my Father."
"What?" He said, shocked.
"Well, he really didn't know about me. And I only sort of knew him. But my Grandparents thought it would be best if I stayed with him because he's a wizard."
"Who would have thought Snape had a daughter?" Draco asked mainly himself.
"He's not so bad." Sabrina defended her Father.
"No, I guess not. Here you go." He said, stopping in front of the entrance to Snape's rooms.
"Um, thanks Draco." Sabrina said.
"Yeah, no problem. When will you be starting classes?" He asked.
"Monday. I'm being sorted Sunday evening."
"Well, alright then. See you around then."
"Yeah, see ya."
Sabrina watched him walk off, and didn't go in through the portrait until she no longer saw him.
A smile formed on her lips. Draco Malfoy. Something, deep in her gut, told her she was to pursue him.
The next day, Friday, Sabrina had Severus wake her up in time for breakfast. She was just going to wander around the castle today. She would probably get lost. Okay, she would definitely get lost, but she had to get to know the place somehow. And there would be plenty of people around to help her.
Once Draco had gotten to his next class the day before, word spread like wildfire. The new girl was Snape's daughter. So, needless to say, some people gave her some looks when they saw her. Others were polite, not wanting to get on Snape's bad side, and others just ignored her completely. And then some were actually nice to her.
During a class change she was standing at a particular set of stairs, when she noticed that every student avoided stepping on one step. She stopped a passing boy, who she recognized from her Father's Potion class yesterday, Neville.
He looked at her, almost afraid. She laughed.
"I don't bite. I just wanted to know why everyone skips that step." She pointed to the stairs.
"Oh, because it's not really there. You'll fall through."
"Thank you. I'll remember that. Didn't mean to scare you." She said, and let him go.
He continued up the stairs.
After lunch, Sabrina was stopped by the bushy haired girl, her friends standing, reluctantly behind her.
She held out her hand to Sabrina. "I'm Hermoine Granger. Gryffindor."
"Nice to meet you." Sabrina shook her hand. "Sabrina Snape."
"So you are Snape's kid!" The red head exclaimed.
"Ron!" Hermoine scolded. "Forgive them. They've been listening to rumors. This is Ronald Weasley and Harry Potter." She introduced them.
"Nice to meet you." Sabrina looked at Harry. So this was Harry Potter. Cute boy, she thought. She smiled at the two boys. "Don't worry, I don't bite." She said. "Not too hard anyway." She smiled even more.
The boys smiled, nervously, back.
"Well, we must be getting to class." Hermoine informed. "Nice to meet you Sabrina. See you later."
"Bye!" Sabrina said. She liked them, they were nice. Well, the boys were a bit skittish, but sweet nonetheless.
The weekend continued much the same. She met quite a few other kids in her year. She got somewhat familiar with the school. She got to know her Father a bit more. Saturday he spent the day with her showing her around. Then almost too quickly it was Sunday evening.
All the students gathered the Great Hall for dinner. It got quiet as Professor McGonagall brought in the Sorting Hat. Professor Dumbledore stood up.
"We have a new student joining us this year. She is joining us from the United States. Her name is Sabrina Snape. I hope you will all make her feel welcomed here at our school. So without further ado, Sabrina Snape will you come here and the Hat shall sort you."
Sabrina walked up and sat down on the stool and placed the Hat on her head.
"Ah, Sabrina Snape. Daughter of Severus Snape. You shall be hard to place. You have many of your Mother's traits. I was correct in placing her in Gryffindor. But you have the cunning slyness of Slytherin from your Father. And true, someone in Slytherin may be needing your aid this year."
Sabrina looked up and her eyes fell on Draco Malfoy. Their eyes locked she didn't catch what the Hat said. Something about not putting her brain to good use.
She barely noticed when the Hat called out, "Ravenclaw!"
She tore her eyes away from Draco as her new Housemates accepted her at their table. She smiled at them as they introduced themselves.
That night, back in Severus's chambers, Severus talked with Sabrina.
"Ravenclaw. Hmm." He said. He didn't sound disappointed, just intrigued. "Dumbledore did mention you making all Outstandings. So, will you be going to their dorms?" He asked.
Sabrina thought about it for a moment. "Well, actually, I kind of want to stay with you. If it's all right with you of course."
"Sure, if you want to I'm okay with it."
"Cool." Sabrina got into bed, pulled the covers over her, and looked at her Father. "Um, I wanted to ask something."
"Go ahead."
"Well, I was wondering if I could maybe, if it's okay with you, that maybe I can call you Dad?" She asked.
Severus looked shocked for a moment, and didn't say anything. Would that be okay with him? He already loved Sabrina so much. He had been so happy when she was all right with the decisions he had made, that she understood.
"Of course you can." He finally replied.
Sabrina let out a sigh and smiled. "Good. Good night then... Dad."
"Good night." He stood at the doorway and looked at her, unsure, but not quite sure what he was unsure about.
"Mum usually tucked me in at night." Sabrina whispered. "Sixteen and I still liked to be tucked in. But I like it."
"I don't really know..." He trailed off.
"Well, you pull the covers over me, say good night, maybe give me a hug or a kiss, then you turn off the light as you leave."
Severus walked up to her bed and pulled the covers up more.
Sabrina yawned. "'Night Daddy."
He awkwardly bent over to place a kiss on her forehead. "Good night, Sabrina."
He walked back to the door and turned out the light. He stood in the doorway a second longer.
"How did I do?" He asked.
"You were perfect." Sabrina replied, sleepily.
