Sakiya: I am really into this fic for some reason so I decided to go ahead and write the second chapter! I think this might be my fastest update ever! ^^ I'm feeling good!

Phetara: She only owns Kairio, nothing else.

Thoughts = (in these)

"Oh, oh yes please!" The woman said happily. Severus got a glimpse at the sign on the desk that said. 'Madam Phantom'. She started to walk in a direction and though a doorway. Severus followed, wondering if he was doing a good thing or not. But the dream flashed by again and that's all he needed for reassurance. Madam Phantom led Severus to a large room where all of the kids were running around recklessly. He looked around but didn't see Kairio anywhere.

"Well. Is there one that catches your eye?" Madam Phantom asked.

"Well." Severus tried to think of a good excuse to ask where Kairio was. "I'm here to... adopt a child that a friend of mine dropped off. She was the daughter of a werewolf."

"Oh. Kairio I presume. Follow me." Madam Phantom led Severus down into the basement and to a dark corner. She turned on a light and Severus saw little Kairio asleep in the cage. He began wondering, why in a cage? But then he got some smartness.

"It's three days until the full moon." He said quietly. Madam Phantom nodded.

"You can still adopt her. But be careful." Madam Phantom warned. She got out a key and unlocked the cage. Severus got down on his knees and pick up Kairio. The three year old did not wake, but just twitched slightly. Severus saw the cuts and bruises, worse than in his dream. He frowned. Madam Phantom cleared her throat to get his attention. "The girl harms herself near the full moon. That's why she is so hurt."

Severus nodded even though he knew it was a lie. He would fuss **after** he adopted Kairio. He followed Madam Phantom back upstairs and back to the desk. With a flick of her wand papers zoomed out of a cabinet and over to Severus, followed by a quill and an ink bottle. "There are your papers. Sign them and Kairio is yours." Madam Phantom stated. Severus just barely read over the papers then signed them.

"Thank you Mr. Severus Snape. I think Kairio will happy with you as her father." Obviously she said this to everybody who made an adoption, because it sounded dull.

Severus was trying now to hold back the urge to shout at Madam P. for treating Kairio so badly. "Yes. Happier than she was here."

Madam P. looked up at Severus with a strange expression, "I hope you are not trying to say that she was treated badly here!"

"Oh I'm not **trying** to say it." Severus said as he turned towards the door. "I **am** saying it." And with that Severus left the orphanage, Madam P. gaping at him. He continued to walk and finally looked down at the three year old again. She was awake and quite pale. She looked up at Severus with a very confused and frightened look. "... Kairio?"

Kairio looked even more confused. This man knew her name? But... where was she and what was this man doing?

Severus saw the confusion still in her eyes. "Kairio, I'm... your, uh, new Dad."

Kairio put on a smile. She wondered if her day would ever come. She remembered other kids leaving with parents... and now someone had gotten her. She was happy, excited, and a bit hyper now. Her smile grew with the thought of being out of that horrible place. "D- dad?" She said smiling.

Severus had a weird feeling whenever Kairio said 'Dad'. For the first time in a long time he had a smile on **his** face. Maybe this wasn't going to be so bad after all. (I mean. How hard can it be to raise a child) He asked himself in his mind. He walked to his temporary home to send the Ministry the adoption papers so that they would know. He turned to Kairio, who was looking at some of Severus's belongings. "This isn't your home Kairio. We're going home tomorrow. This is just... uh.... Tonight home." He couldn't think of how to say it to a small child and they actually understand. He shook his head and turned away from her, "I'm doomed." He looked back at Kairio again who was... ABOUT TO JUMP OFF THE DRESSER!?!?!?!?!?!?! Severus ran over and with a baseball slide, caught Kairio. Kairio just laughed. Severus glared which made her instantly shut- up. "Kairio... uh." He was stuck again. "You're not supposed to climb things and jump! You could have hurt yourself! And I just got you today!" He half-shouted. Kairio's head went down in shame.

(This is going to be a lot harder than I thought...) Severus thought.
