Author's note: Well, this is attempt number two at this fic. The first time it got removed after I had made it to seventeen chapters. I'm retyping all of it and hopefully fixing all errors that were included the first time around, so as to keep it on this time. There's not much else for me to say here, other than I don't own any of the normal Harry Potter characters or setting, etc. I created Selina, and my friend Josh created Scott (in later chapters). Thanks again for that Josh, even though I thanked you quite a few times last time around; you really did help with this a lot. Please review after reading, even if it is your second time, let me know if it's looking ok and everything.
A Summer Not Easily Forgotten-Chapter 1: Introduction
The end of yet another Hogwarts year had come at last. All the students were making their way onto the train, anxious to go home for the summer. All, that is, but one. Selina Snape was standing in the hall, discussing the usual routine with her father.
"Remember, when you get to platform nine and three quarters..." Professor Snape started.
"Mr. Malfoy will be waiting and will escort me to the house." Selina finished for him, adding, "I know father, this will be my fifth year of it."
"I know it is, Selina," Said Professor Snape. "I'm just reminding you as usual."
"Well, I'd better get going now, or I'll never make it home." Said Selina as she gathered her luggage and prepared to go out to the train
"Yes, of course. Well, I'll see you in a day or two, once we've got everything cleaned up around here, as usual." Professor Snape replied.
"Goodbye father." Said Selina, as she headed off to the train.
Professor Snape watched her for a few moments, then went back to his office to start cleaning up.
Selina reached the train just in time, and proceeded to look around for somewhere to sit. Along the way, she passed the compartment in which Ron, Hermione, and Harry were sitting. She smiled and waved as she passed, she was a friend of theirs after all, or at least she considered them to be her friends. Harry and Ron waved back, but she couldn't help but notice that Hermione ignored her completely. Selina sighed and went back to looking, thinking that perhaps Hermione wasn't as much of a friend as she had once thought, but happy to know her at least.
She soon came across her friend Joey sitting alone in a compartment.
"Hi Joey, mind if I sit with you?" She asked.
"Of course not, you should know that by now." Joey replied with a smile.
Selina smiled back. "Thanks, but you know I'll always ask anyway." She replied as she sat down across from him.
"I'll figure it out eventually." Joey said with a laugh.
Selina laughed with him, and the two of them spent the rest of the train ride talking about the past year and how nice it was to be going home.
At last the train stopped at platform nine and three quarters. Selina looked out the window and spotted Mr. Malfoy standing in his usual place near the barrier. She gathered her things and went out to meet him, after saying goodbye to Joey at the door of the train.
"Hello Mr. Malfoy." She greeted Lucius politely.
"Hello Selina, have you seen Draco at all?" He replied.
"I didn't see him on the train at all, but I'm sure he's around here somewhere." Selina replied.
A few moments later, Draco appeared beside his father.
"Well, Draco, there you are. Are we all ready to go then?" Asked Lucius.
"I believe so." Selina replied, while Draco simply nodded.
"Good." Lucius said as he walked through the barrier.
The group soon reached Selina's house, which was fairly close to the train station. Draco and his father let Selina there and proceeded to their own house, which was only a few houses away. Selina then walked up to the house, unlocked the door, and entered. She closed the door behind her, and just stood there for a few moments.
"Time to start off my usual boring summer in the usual way," She paused for a moment, listening to the silence of the house, then finished her sentence. "Alone."
She did not know how very wrong she was. Not only would her summer be as unusual as ever, but she was also not alone in the house at that very moment.
Another author's note: I just realised that this is no longer my first posted fic, so I need to mention that this fic has no relation to Selina's other adventures, if you've read any of my other fics. Don't forget to review!
