Just another side note- To fit the plot better I decided that Sirius never died so sorry to all those who have issues with that.
The following morning Autumn walked down to breakfast with Hermione. Halfway to the table the pair met up with McGonagal who was handing out time schedules. The two Gryffindors grabbed theirs excitedly and compared them. "Ohh, lucky us, Potions with dear Uncle Sev first thing in the morning." Groaned Autumn. Receiving only a stifled answer she glanced at Hermione who was cracked up with laughter.
"Un-cle S-s-ev?" the girl managed to choke out through giggles. "Yea, great name huh? It annoys the heck out of him." Then she got an idea, "What would you give me to call him that in class?" grinned Autumn mischievously.
"Call who, what?" asked Harry who had snuck up behind them with Ron. Hermione managed to get a hold of herself although her checks were still pink. "Miss Snape over here wants to know what we'd give her to call Professor Snape, Uncle Sev in class!" said the bushy haired girl smirking.
Ron snorted in amusement "That would defiantly be worth a few sickles any day, now I almost regret dropping potions."
"Ok, how about if you do it I'll buy you ice cream for the next three hogsmede trips," added Harry, his green eyes twinkling. "Deal" replied Autumn.
"But you have to say it so the rest of the class hears it." Chimed in Ron "Oh, and give me a full blow by blow." The other three laughed and after promising the redhead they hurried down to the dungeons. "I can't believe I am actually looking forward to this lesson," whispered Harry as Snape strode in.
Turning sharply to face the class her Uncle spoke coldly. "I see you have all managed to get into my NEWT's potion class. I expect all of you to perform at O level at all times…" as he said this Autumn noticed him glare in Harry's direction. "Git" the Gryffindor boy mumbled and she smirked.
"Today you will be making the polyjuice potion. The directions are on the board- Go!" All of the students jumped right into action at his words and autumn grabbed a seat by Harry and Hermione. Soon the room was filled with fumes from bubbling caldrons. Snape prowled from group to group praising the Slytherins and taking points from the Gryffindors. The three of them worked efficiently and Autumn thought their potions turned out rather well; At least until a tall figure appeared before them. She looked up to see the sneering expression on her Uncles face.
"Potter! Why is your potion teal and not green? 10 points from Gryffindor for not following directions, this is a total waste of ingredients!" Harry clenched his fists while Hermione stepped on his toe in light warning. With another sneer her Uncle made to walk away when the teen decided to put her plan into action. She shot a meaningful glance at Harry and Hermione before saying in a clear, carrying voice "Uncle Sev!? I have a question!"
All witnessed Snape spin around with an uncharacteristic look of shock on his face. It quickly turned to anger however as he bore down on her. "Miss Snape? He inquired scowling. "What was that you just called me?" Autumn gave him a wide, cheesy grin "Come on Uncle Sev, remember me, your favorite niece?"
Snape raised his eyebrows and Harry cracked up behind her. "You are in fact my only niece but that's besides the point." he replied testily, still angry. "Aww, Uncle you know you love me!" This was too much for the class and some gasped while others laughed. "Detention Miss Snape!" he yelled silencing the class, "and 25 points from Gryffindor!"
"Yes Sir Uncle professor!" retorted the still unabashed Gryffindor as the bell rang. "Up to my desk Miss Snape, Now!" came the cold voice as students gathered up their things and left talking excitedly about the class.
"We'll meet you right outside the dungeon" said Hermione. "Good luck!" whispered Harry and they left. Keeping her face neutral Autumn stepped up to where uncle sat grimly at his desk. "Autumn, what could have possibly possessed you to do that?"
"Ice cream" she replied pertly which caused Snape to raise his eyebrows "I don't want to know…"
"Actually, I was thinking about what a cold stick you are." she added as an afterthought.
"Excuse me? Last time I checked I was not only your uncle and guardian but your professor as well."
Autumn knew she had gone a tad too far with that statement. "Err, sorry Sir, it's just you were being so rude to Harry and…"
"Me and Potter have out issues" Snape interrupted "and their personal although I have no doubt he wouldn't mind giving you his version of the story."
"Really? Interesting…" the teen started to say and trailed off when she received a glare from her Uncle. He rubbed the bridge of his nose. "You are going to drive me bloody insane girl." He muttered and gave her a wave off. "Go ahead, no doubt Potter and Granger are waiting." Grinning, Autumn spun around trying to hurry out before- "
"And you still have your detention tonight at 7 O'clock!" broke in her Uncle's voice.
"Damn!" she said under her breath as she left the dungeons.
After assuring Harry that she was fine even after a talk with 'that git of an uncle of yours' the three went to transfiguration were they met up with Ron. The redhead nearly wet himself with laughter when the event was told to him. Autumn found transfiguration with McGonagal more challenging then she remembered it at her other school. Never the less, the teen was able to transfigure her small table into a black dog, which made Harry and Ron grin for some reason.
All in all it was a good day. It was only in her NEWT charms class where she found herself confronted by a pale sneering face, that she had any doubts about Hogwarts.
"I feel sorry for you Snape, having to be in a house with weasel, potty, and the mudblood!" came the cold voice. Autumn spun around and faced the boy in disgust. "Malfoy right?" The blonde nodded. "At your service" he said with a mock bow.
The Gryffindor glared for a minute before a conversation she had with the trio popped into her head. Putting on a false smile she held out her hand to Malfoy. "Pleased to met you ferret boy." Autumn said cheekily. The Slytherins eyes narrowed and he turned with one last sneer and stalked away.
"Stupid, stuck up git" she mumbled as she took her seat. "Looks like you met Malfoy" said Harry looking at her in concern. Autumn sighed, "Yes, god I never thought someone could be that arrogant." The four laughed as professor Flitwick came in to start the lesson.
On whole, Autumn felt she should be congratulated on her ability to be prompt in all her classes on her first day. Unfortunately she still had a detention to Ron, Harry, and Hermione's sympathy. Her dinner consisted of eating quickly while muttering about her uncle under her breath (much to Ron's amusement). The teen was halfway through her pasta when a shadow feel over her plate. She looked up to see the smirking face of her uncle and she scowled. "Yes?" the Gryffindor asked in a peeved voice.
"I just stopped by to she if you planned on eating a vegetable with that pasta." Replied Snape in a mock parental tone. "Sure, whatever!" Autumn said stonily as she dished out some peas. "Happy?"
"Yes" came her uncle's voice and her walked away and out of the Great Hall.
"Can he get any more gitish?" she asked, slamming her hand down on the table. "Probably" chimed in Harry and Ron together while Hermione put in "I don't think gitish is a word."
Autumn just rolled her eyes before standing up, peas forgotten, and headed to the library to do homework before detention.
Once in the library the Gryffindor settled down at one of the tables and worked for an hour and a half before finally don't. She checked her watch, which told her she had a half an hour before detention. "Might as well make my way down there anyways." Autumn sighed.
Reaching the classroom however, she realized her uncle was nowhere in sight. A plan formed in her head as she waited; A plan to annoy Uncle Sev. The teen sat in Snape's desk and began rummaging through the drawers, trying to find some graded quizzes or summer homework. "Bingo!" she cried as she pulled out the 6th year stack and flipped through them.
"Right, Hermione Granger, A, what a surprise!"
"Pansy Parkinson, A, wait a minute, he didn't take off proper points for this, surprise again."
"Harry Potter, aw, he deserves better the a P."
"Autumn Snape, A, I'll have to talk to him about that."
Thoroughly enjoying herself, Autumn started on the stack of fifth years next. She was reaching the bottom when she saw a crumpled letter sticking out of the pile. Curious as always, the teen grabbed it up and read the paper her eyes growing wide.
Severus,
The Dark Lord was rather displeased to find out that you have a niece he knew nothing about. He is willing to let you off "easily" if you bring her to the next meeting- she is loyal to us after all- right Severus? If not, well… let's just say I wouldn't want to be in your shoes.
Lucius Malfoy
As Autumn finished reading she found a lump had formed in her throat. 'Her uncle was a death eater? Sure, no surprise the Malfoy's were but her own Uncle? He was going to make he one too? No no, he might be a jerk to Gryffindors but it just couldn't be.' But there it was, written out for her in writing.
Just then she heard the door swing open and her uncle stepped in. The teen tried to hide what she was reading but in three long strides Snape was right there and grabbed the letter from her. He looked livid and Autumn found herself scared of the supposed death eater uncle of hers.
"You better have a good excuse for snooping in my desk Autumn Leslie Reiner Snape!" he bellowed at her, nearly knocking her out of the chair she sat in.
"I, well, I…" she stammered and bowed her head as her uncle crossed his arms over his chest. They stood like that for a few minutes before Snape asked coldly "How much did you read?"
The Gryffindor plucked up her remaining courage and looked coldly back and screamed "Enough to realize that you're a good for nothing, sick minded, untrustworthy death eater!"
Her uncle actually looked shocked by that accusation and took a shaky step towards her.
"Get away from me you Lying bastard!" she screeched and fled from the room, tears forming in her eyes, and ignoring her name being called after her.
Oh my! What will Snape do now? We all know what he really is (wink wink). What will he do about Lord what's his name? Ohh, bet you can't stand the suspense- lol.
