Chapter One: Meet Accalia
Main POV
"I can't believe it's our final year," said Hermione solemnly as the trio walked to the Great Hall after arriving at Hogwarts.
"Yeah..." said Ron smiling lightly
It was Harry, Hermione and Ron's last year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and they were glad of it. The year before, his sixth year, Harry had defeated Voldemort in the Second War. Harry had nearly lost his life and many people had died including Professor McGonagall and Percy Weasley.
"How you holding up, Ron?" asked Harry patting his best friends shoulder.
"Probably as well as you are..." murmured Ron as they walked into the Great Hall.
"I wonder who's going to be the new transfiguration teacher..." said Hermione trying to change the subject
"Don't know," said Harry sitting down at the Gryffindor table for the welcoming feast.
"I know who's teaching Defence against the Dark Arts!" said Ron smiling for the first time in months, pointing up to the teachers' tables.
"Lupin!" smiled Harry
Remus's POV
"I'm finally back. At the place I could almost call home. Plus I'll being doing the thing I love. Teaching. How I've missed it," I think to myself. I looked down the teacher's table and saw an empty space.
"Must be for the new Transfiguration teacher," I think, "I wonder who it is."
Main POV
After the feast it was time for the announcements.
"I would first like to welcome the first years to Hogwarts. I hope your stay here will be enjoyable and you will learn all you require to make your future in the wizarding world," began Dumbledore, "As many you may have noticed Professor Lupin has returned to teach Defence against the Dark Arts for another year..."
There was a cheer from the Gryffindor table.
"And," continued Dumbledore, "We have a new Transfiguration teacher, Professor Accalia Snape..."
The whole hall went into whispers.
"Another Snape!" hissed Ron
"Before anybody asks, yes, she is a relation of Professor Snape, she is his half sister and I hope you will welcome her to our school," finished Dumbledore
"Though I do wonder where she's disappeared to..." thought Dumbledore
Accalia's POV
"Where is my bloody guitar?" I ask myself as I search in my new teachers accommodation, "That porter had better not have forgotten to put it in my carriage!" I finally find my guitar case under all my suitcases.
"I swear, if it's broken...!
It isn't. Thank God!
I take off my dark cloak to reveal my ankle length deep purple dress. It has long flowing sleeves and has intricate patterns of roses over the bodice of the dress. I absolutely love it. It had been made by the human elves of the west when I had visited them on my twentieth birthday. That's right, I am older than twenty! Okay, I'm twenty...seven and thirteen months...
Any way, I flop down on to my large double bed and look in to the full- length mirror on the other side of the room.
"You look lovely tonight," says the mirror.
"Hmmmm," I murmur.
"You're better than your brother. Well, anyone is!" the misty voice of the mirror snorted.
I murmur again before looking at myself in the mirror. My wavy, pitch-black hair hung mid-length down my back luckily it was not greasy like my unfortunate brother. Probably because I actually wash it!
"Good to see you haven't got his nose!" laughed the mirror
"It's still big though! Er, wait a minute, how do you know my brother?" I asked
"This used to be his room...nosey!" snapped the mirror playfully
"Oh, well...I can still give you the Snape death stare!" I snapped
"With those eyes..." said the mirror coyly
"Huh! Got me there!" I said
Unlike my brother I have my fathers' eyes, Severus and I only shared a mother, I have green eyes, Severus on the other hand had cold grey eyes. I really don't know why my mother insisted I have Snape as my surname, I wanted my fathers, but I was not going to argue with my mother. I wouldn't even dare! I look at my watch; it was too late to go down to the great hall so I decide to go to bed. Maybe a bit rude but I'm knackered and need my sleep!
Main POV
The first lesson of the term for the trio was DADA.
"I wonder if Remus has any idea what this female Snape is going to be like!" said Harry
"Female Snape!" laughed Ron
"I haven't met her yet, Ron" said Lupin making the class jump as he walked into the classroom, "Right! Everyone get out their books and turn to page twenty."
"How did he...? Oh, werewolf hearing!" stuttered Ron
"We've got transfiguration next. We'll find out then. Now shut up!" snapped Hermione trying to listen to Professor Lupin.
The seventh year class walked into the transfiguration room.
"She's definitely changed the décor," said Hermione
The ceiling was now covered in white drapes that actually made the room look lighter and the walls seemed to sparkle with glitter.
"I think it's pretty, "said Lavender
"S'pose..."murmured Ron
Accalia's POV
"Okay...okay...it's your first lesson and you've got to be confident!" I reassure myself standing in my office. I start to walk to the door and trip over onto stone floor.
"SHIT! That bloody hurt!" I shout out. Just remembering that a class was outside and would have heard my outburst I gingerly get up and open the door. Oh, Severus would be so proud!
Main POV
"Did I just hear what I thought I did?" said Hermione
Ron laughed, "I think you did! If she swears she can't be as bad as Snape!"
The class's attention snapped to the front as the door of the office opened.
"Good morning class. I am Professor Snape. The good one!" said Accalia
The class laughed lightly as they felt a bit more relaxed.
"Right...Seeing as you are in your final year I think you are mature enough to call me by my first name. So call me Lia, alright? Plus if you're bitching about a Snape I'll know which one it is, won't I?"
The class laughed again.
"I like her already!" whispered Ron to Harry as Ron stared at Accalia's chest.
Unfortunately Hermione noticed this and promptly hit Ron over the head.
"Before we get started, have any of you got any questions?" said Accalia
Many hands shot in the air. Accalia looked around.
"Er...Ah, Mister Malfoy...Draco, you have a question?" said Accalia
"If you're really Professor Snape's half sister..." scoffed Malfoy," ...how come you're actually quite, well...fit!"
The Slytherin's sniggered.
"Very funny, Draco. I've heard a lot of good things about you from my brother..." sneered Accalia sounding rather too much like her brother
"Well, thank you," smiled Malfoy arrogantly
"...I don't believe any of it actually!" scoffed Accalia The whole class started laughing while Malfoy looked slightly embarrassed.
"I like her as well," whispered Harry to Ron smiling
"Thank you, Mister Potter," said Accalia quickly
"What the...? How did she hear me? Weird!" whispered Harry, eyes wide.
"If you all want to know Sev...I mean Professor Snape and I share the same mother but have different fathers,"stated Accalia
"Are you a half-blood then?" piped up Hermione
"Er...no. No, I'm pureblood. Miss Granger, is it?" said Accalia
"Yes, it is," said Hermione
"She's just disappointed there isn't another one like her..." sneered Draco
"That's enough Mister Malfoy! Ten points from Slytherin!" shouted Accalia, "Right, let's start with...the transfiguration of a book into a cloak. Now this is harder than it sounds..."
"Mmmm. Feisty!" whispered Ron Hermione elbowed Ron in the ribs. Ron yelped in pain.
"What was that for?" hissed Ron
"You're supposed to be my boyfriend!" hissed Hermione back
"Sor-ree!" snapped Ron
Accalia's POV
"Okay, this is going well. I've made them laugh, they seem to like me!" I tell myself as I properly start the lesson.
Main POV
"That was a brilliant lesson!" said Ron as the trio walked to lunch, "She almost as good as McGonagall..."
"Yeah, I suppose," said Hermione
"Don't you like her, Mione?" asked Harry.
"Yes, I do but... you know it's just weird, without McGonagall..." said Hermione
"Mmmm," said Ron
"It does help that she's easy on the eyes!" said Harry laughing
"I'm not going to risk saying anything..."said Ron putting his arm round Hermione.
As they walked down the corridor Harry said,
"Look, there's Lupin."
"Hi Harry!" said Remus as the trio walked up to the teacher.
"Hi Professor Lupin," said the trio in unison
"We just had transfiguration with Snape's sister" said Ron
"Oh? What's she like?" asked Remus intrigued
Harry and Ron breathed in sharply and smiled.
"What they mean is that she is nice!" snapped Hermione
"Nice is an understatement!" said Harry
"I mean she's alright..."said Ron, "Not as lovely as you, of course Mione."
"That why you were staring at her chest and her bottom all through the lesson!" scoffed Hermione
Remus laughed, "That nice, huh?"
"Don't even think it, Lupin!" said Snape from behind them, "She's too young for you for a start."
"I don't know what you're talking about, Severus!" said Remus smiling at the trio.
"Accalia is a beautiful, young woman and she's too good for an old wolf like you," sneered Snape turning on his heel to walk away from them.
"Harsh!" said Ron
"Don't listen to him, Remus!" said Harry
"It's hard not to" said Remus.
"Look! There she is now!" said Harry as Accalia came round the corner. Remus turned to see if what Harry and Ron had been saying was true.
Remus's POV
I turn to see this...this beautiful women walking towards us. Surely no way this lovely creature can be Severus's sister. Her black hair hangs softly around her pale face. I can see why Ron been staring at her.
Her hips swing from side to side hypnotising me as she walks in her black jean trousers. I realise I'm staring but I can't stop as my eyes travel over the curves of her chest in the beautiful deep blue shirt that she is wearing. My gaze travels up her soft neck and I suddenly meet her gaze, her sparkling green eyes boring into mine.
Before I know it she's standing in front of me. She's standing below me at about 5 foot 9 though two inches of it was heels. She's still just the right height for me standing at 6 foot tall myself. Wait a minute, what am I saying? Acting like a...a teenager! She holds her hand out to me,
"Professor Lupin? Accalia Snape," she smiles making me instantly relax.
"Call me Remus," I say.
Taking her small hand in mine to shake it I feel energy tingle up my arm. God! I wondered if she feels it too. I don't think so.
Accalia's POV
I walk round the corner to the great hall for lunch. I'm starving! I look down the corridor to see Harry, Ron and Hermione with...
"Who is that?" my head screams.
There stands a, well, a prime specimen of a man. Okay he's a good ten years older than me but I always did go for the older man! He has gorgeous dark blond hair though somewhat speckled with grey that hung over his pale face. I just think it adds character. He has just the right amount of stubble on his sharp jaw, which I like.
Under his black cloak he's wearing a tight white shirt that's covered with a dark maroon jumper and his dark khaki trousers hangs nicely over his rather cute bottom. Wait a minute, what am I saying? Acting like a...a teenager!
Before I know it I'm standing in front of him. He stood above me at about 6 foot. He was still just the right height for me standing at 5 foot 9 myself. Well, with heels anyway.
I held my hand out to him,
"Professor Lupin? Accalia Snape," I smiled
"Call me Remus," he said making me instantly relax.
Placing my small hand in his to shake it I feel energy tingle up my arm. God! I wondered if he feels it too. I don't think so.
Main POV
"Right, we better get to lunch" said Remus
"Oh, yes," agreed Accalia
"After you," gestured Remus towards the Great Halls doors.
"Why thank you!" smiled Accalia walking in front of Remus who promptly followed behind her.
"I think Remus likes her!" said Harry
"I think she likes Remus!" smiled Hermione

Accalia's POV
"Where is my bloody guitar?" I ask myself as I search in my new teachers accommodation, "That porter had better not have forgotten to put it in my carriage!" I finally find my guitar case under all my suitcases.
"I swear, if it's broken...!
It isn't. Thank God!
