Chapter 2

'Dad, look. I have new shoes. Aren't they beautiful, are they? Do you like them?'

Severus stared down at his daughter and her new shoes. They were dark green and had several buchles. His mind was taken off the whole day after meeting some acquaintances. In fact he had forgotten all about the shopping tour of his little girl. He took the shoes in his hands and looked at them.

'They are right. Do you like them for yourself or has Aunt Ethel chosen them. But I'd say that's not typical for Ethel.'

'No, Aunt Ethel hasn't seen them yet. She has bought new dishes or something like that. I stayed outside and I ran into a woman. She helped me choosing the right ones. Aunt Ethel had to deal with her dishes and so she showed me some other shops and streets. She toild me about some we have to visit. Please, dad. Let's go there tomorrow, please.'

'OK, we'll see. But how often have I told you not to go with strange people? Did you know that woman? No, don't say a word. You didn't know her, right? Who was that? She…'

But Cassy interrupted her father.

'Wait. No, I didn't know her she was so nice and helped me with all the shops and confusing streets. She helped me with my shoes. She said they suited me. I like her. She isn't dangerous.' She yelled at her father.

'How do you want to know that? She can…'

Dad. She didn't say one word that I have to follow her.'

That is not the point. And you know that. And now you go to bed.' He screamed finally.

'But…'

'And no but's, have you understand me?'

Cassy looked furious at her father. She hated it when he forbade her things without a visible reasond and without knowing what had happened. So she went to her room but not without saying:

'I didn't know her then but I know her now. She is a witch and she is good at Transfiguration. She knows a lot about it. Her name is Minerva McGonagall AND I LIKE HER. But you don't know because you don't want to know it. Goodnight dad.'

So she stormed out of the kitchen. Severus stayed there unable to move or to say a word. Of course he wanted to know that but it wasn't the point now. She didn't understand.

Minerva McGonagall? The whole situation couldn't become even worse. What if she would tell Dumbledore about him having a daughter? Maybe he would sack him. You must not teaching in Hogwarts and having a child beeing so young simultaneous. Of course he had to tell him a lie, one or two. The girl wasn't his daughter but his cousin or better his niece. That's the solution. Or he had to stop Minerva telling Dumbledore about her meeting his daughter. But what should he tell her to persuade her not to say any word about it?

He sat there for hours not knowing what to do. At five o'clock the next morning he fell asleep at the table.

At the same time at another place someone other stand up. Minerva McGonagall had plans for her day and the following ones. She loved it to explore Edinburghs surroundings by bike. She hadn't often the possebility for a tour by bike, only in the holidays. She didn't want to imagine the look on the faces of her students if they would would see her in trousers and by bike. No, that was a thought shewould prefer to forget.

So she stand up early these days tostart at dawn. Her thoughts went off to the little girl she had met the day before. Her name was Cassy. Minerva didn't know her last name but somehow the girl was familiar to her. The pale skin, her dark eyes, the way she moved – all reminded her on someone. But she didn't know who. Maybe she would get the idea of him or her while exploring the nature around Edingurgh.

Minerva had prepared for one week. Her aim was it to reach some of the little villages which are several miles away. Maybe she would meet the little girl living in one of those villages again.

'My Lord? We have found her. She is the last one of that powerful clan. But you wouldn't guess who is her father.'

'I'm not interested in her father. I want that girl.'

'But he is…'

'Crucio. You have to do what I'm saying. Is that clear enough?'

'Y…yes, my Lord. I…I understand. I will bring the girl tomorrow.'

So the man with the dark cloak bowed and disapperated. Now he had to find the girl with the name Cathrine Merina Snape and bring her to his master. That couldn't be a problem for him.
