A/N: This is supposed to be a humorous romantic fic kinda thing, but
whether or not I actually succeed at. . .
Well, anyway this is the story, oh and by the way--the main character is an
original character of my OWN creating, so don't steal her, it took me along
time to get this straightened out. this shows lyrics or thoughts-btw.
Setting is Harry Potter's sixth year, and yes it is OotP, sorry folks, but
I miss Sirius too! *runs off and cries*

Chapter 1: Opposites Do Not Attract
A large brown barn owl swooped into the open kitchen window of the small flat in downtown London.
"Well, I wonder who this could be from?" A tall raven-haired teenager asked.
She spotted the Hogwarts crest and knew at once that her AWOL father had sent it. The letter inside read:
Autumn,
Meet me at the Leaky Cauldron in Diagon Alley at 3 p.m. Today.
DO NOT Be Late.
Your Father, Severus Snape
"He never writes unless its business!" Autumn Snape mumbled angrily.
She had not seen her father seen she left for the Untied States when she was six. That was nine years ago, fifteen going on sixteen, and now for the first time attending the school her father taught at. She looked up at the clock, it was 11:11 a.m. right now, if she went took a shower and got dressed she could be there a couple hours earlier and hang out at her favorite new shop, Weasley Wizdaring Wheezes.
Diagon Alley was bright and full of shoppers, young witches and wizards doing their back to school shopping, parents chasing down children, muggles and muggle-borns entering the realm of magic for the first time. All added to the air of excitement that filled the streets.
"Morning Fred, George!" Autumn called cheerfully. A tall lengthy red- head looked up from where he was giving a little girl a canary cream and smiled.
"Well, we haven't seen you for a while."
"But, we did see your dear old dad!" Fred and George replied. They watched as Autumn sighed before looking at window, checking to see if he was really here already.
"Hey, don't worry we know your not that old greasy-haired, pointed- nosed, pale-faced git's clone." George said with a smile while patting her on the shoulder.
"Yeah, you don't even have greasy hair!" Fred called from the corner. All three of them laughed just as a third red-head walked in the front door. It was the twin's youngest sibling, their sister Ginny.
"Hey Ginny, have you met our friend Autumn yet? She is going to be a sixth year at Hogwarts." Fred said. His sister walked over shook Autumn's hand and they began chatting, turns out they had A Lot in common.
"So I'm going to be in your brother's year?" Autumn mused "I wonder what kind of embarrassing stories I can get out of him about you!"
"That's absolutely wicked, and I thought you said you weren't like Professor Snape!" The two girls laughed. Autumn checked her watch-2:56p.m. 4 minutes to spare. She said her goodbyes and hurried out.
The Leaky Cauldron was bustling and busy. How am I going to find him in all this mess? Then she spotted him, over in the corner, sitting with a platinum blond man and what looked to be his son. Malfoys, most likely. Ugh, I hate being a pureblood! Might as well get this over. . .
"Hey." Autumn said softly, she really didn't know how to address her father. Professor Snape looked up to see a tall beautiful young lady standing next the table he and the two Malfoys were sitting at. At first he thought it was just some girl who was coming over to flirt with Draco, but when he looked into her cat like green and yellow eyes he knew it was his daughter. There was a moment of awkward silence between the four of them.
"long time no see." she said as she put her hands in her pockets and drew in a long breath.
"yes I agree." Severus replied
"well. . ."
"Well. . .what?"
"You're the one who owled me, demanding my presence!" Autumn's temper was rising.
"Severus, who is this?" Lucius Malfoy drawled.
"She is my daughter." Snape's voice was cold and distant.
"I didn't know you had offspring." Lucius peered over at Autumn with cold malevolent gray eyes.
'WELL DUH YOU IDIOT I'M STANDING RIGHT HERE!' Autumn thought
"Maybe I should come by later, when I'm not interrupting." Autumn announced politely. Or maybe I could just come by never!
After a short pause, Lucius Malfoy spoke:
"Never mind that, sit down and catch up with you father" He stood up and grabbed his cloak then turned his eyes onto his son "Stay here with Severus, I have business to attend to." and with that Lucius left.
"So. . ." Autumn said grabbing a chair and pulling it up next to the booth, she rather not sit next to either of the people who's company she was in. "Why exactly did you summon me?" There wasn't an once of respect left in Autumn's tone
"You are to be sorted tomorrow morning, and the Headmaster asked me to notify you of this and make sure you had your supplies." Her father replied icily. "Draco I believe you still have to finish your shopping also?" Snape's voice was softer towards the Malfoy than Autumn
"Yes, that's correct." Draco wasn't really interested in cutting into Snape and his daughter's fun.
"I am fully capable of gathering my supplies on my own, no need to tag along. Enjoy your day." Autumn couldn't stand sitting with people she didn't know or care to know any longer. She thought she was going to drown in despise.
"Well, we will just join you then." Professor Snape said as he and Draco stood up and followed her out. Autumn was at least ten meters ahead of them at any given time.
"What house are you expecting to get in?" Draco Malfoy inquired aburptly.
Autumn turned around and looked at Draco, he was taller than she was and his silver hair was slicked back in an arrogant fashion, she found this quite amusing and couldn't help but let a smirk find its way onto her lips.
"Why Gryffindor, of course!" Autumn broke into a full smile when she saw her father falter in his foot steps beside them.
"Why would you want to be in that horrid house!" Draco broke into an expression of surprise and disgust, in his opinion Gryffindor was the worst house you could possible enter.
"Because your not in it." Autumn said in a matter-of-factly sort of way. She gave Draco a warm smile, something he wasn't used to and walked into Ollivander's.
"Why are we going in here, you already have a wand." Snape asked
"Because, I enjoy this shop, and my wand needs repairing, unlike you I put it to good use!" Autumn declared. Mr. Ollivander was attending to a first year, she looked rather excited as she left. The little girl stuck her tongue out at Draco, then ran off.
"Ahh, kids. . ." Mr. Ollivander sighed as Autumn laughed. "I heard that you had returned Ms. Snape, but seeing is believing!"
"Yup. Mum's got some important business, no time to watch over little ole me." Autumn leaned against the counter before pulling out her wand, the tip was broken and it had burn marks running down it.
"How on Earth did you manage to do that?" Severus asked.
"I told you I make good use of my wand."
"Too good if you ask me." Draco said after eyeing the wand. Mr.Ollivander picked up the wand and began examing it.
"12 inches, Ebony with a handle of Yew, phoenix talon essence. Awfully powerful. . .I can fix it, come by later on today and it will be done."
Their shopping went by with little conversation, until both of the sixth years had everything they needed, except Autumn's wand. Now Autumn and Draco were standing outside the quidditch store, having left Snape in the Apothecary.
"I am going to get my wand, I feel useless without it. See you later I guess." Autumn turned to leave but, Draco called after her.
"Wait up, I am coming with you, there isn't a new broom model and Snape will kill me if I let you wander off alone." Autumn rolled her eyes and kept walking, a smirk crept onto Malfoy's lips.
"Hey Ginny!" Autumn gave a wave towards the littlest Weasley, who was with her brother Ron, Harry Potter, and Hermione Granger.
"Hey, come meet some friends of mine!" Ginny called back. Autumn sped up to catch them, while Malfoy stayed behind them, kind of in an eerie way.
"This is my lovely brother, Ronniekins, and this is the infamous Harry Potter, he is the shyest boy you will ever meet, and this is the most intelligent witch in magical history Hermione Granger." Each of Ginny's companions turned a shade of red. After a brief chat, they departed ways and Autumn turned to Malfoy, she frowned at his sour facial expression, shook her head and entered Ollivanders.
"How can you stand those Weasleys and that mudblood?" Draco seemed completely dsgusted
"Because I am not small minded like you, and Do Not repeat that word, it's filthy." Autumn said defiantly
"No their filthy." Autumn paid for her wand's repair and walked back onto the street.
"What to do now?" Autumn asked herself
"Do you often talk to yourself, or is a new fad I missed?" Draco sneered
"Well its better than talking to you!" Malfoy knew how to push her buttons and she had only known him for a few hours, it was maddening.
"I wouldn't say that, we have a lot in common you know." Draco Malfoy said in a rather arrogant tone.
"The only thing we have in common is that we are pruebloods!" Autumn scanned the crowd, looking for an escape
"And your father is our potions master, so there is two things. Plus, haven't you ever heard the muggle saying Opposites Attract."
"Well in this case Opposites Do Not Attract, because there is no way in bloody hell I could stand to put up with you full time." Autumn walked out into the street and crossed over into the Leaky Cauldron, ready to head back home.
