Chapter 1

Harry Potter was in the apartment he, Ron, and Hermione shared during their summers when they weren't at Hogwarts. They were going into their Sixth year and he was pretty happy about that. Suddenly, he heard a knock at the door. Ron and Hermion were out in Hogsmeade shopping, so he knew it couldn't be them. He opened the door and saw a petite girl with auburn hair and hazel eyes staring back up at him.

"Are you Harry Potter?" she asked. She had the appearance of an 8 year old and sounded the same, but Harry had a feeling she was older than that.

"Yeah," he began. "Wh-oof!" The girl slammed into him and hugged him, knocking the breath out of him.

"Dad!" the girl called down the hall. "I found hiim!"

Harry looked to see who the girl was calling to and gasped.

" Well, we meet again Potter." said the voice of his potions master, Severus Snape.

" What are you doing here?" Harry asked Snape, eyeing him distrustfully.

" I've come to tell you something important Potter." Snape replied. " Something that will change your life forever."
