Sera's POV

After Kiyoko left I just sat outside of the Great Hall waiting for my dad. I started to sing and play air guitar that's when he walked up to me, never the less. I stopped, dropped my arms back to my side, and stood up, "hello." He simply shook his head and said, "your belongings are already in my room, so unless you would like to sit here and strum the air I suggest we go.

After about ten minutes of my dad explaining the rules and regulations, I made the couch my bed. Laying here on the couch trying to get some sleep thinking about were he was taking me tomorrow.

Next Morning

"Sera, wake up... Sera? SERAFINA," I shot up and looked at my dad. I then slammed my head down back onto the couch and covered my head with a pillow. A moment later i felt no pillow, "get up you lazy girl." I muttered no, as I grabbed my blanket and pulled that over my head. HE also pulled that off of me so I just flailed my arms over my head. "Must you do this the hard way," I thought that meant go gets some water and dump it on me but. Then I felt a large amount of weight on my back at once, he sat on me! "GAH, get off of MEEEEE," I said in a loud tone as I moved every way possible to get my dad off.

"Are you going to go get dressed," he said in a mocking voice.

"Yes, now please GET OFF MEEEE," I whined still trying to break free.

He stood up and before he even had a chance to try to sit on me again I was up and off the couch. I started digging trough my bag looking for something 'nice' to wear. So i decided on a black tank top, with a white shirt over it; the shirt had lace on it at the top, mid way down, and at the bottom, that way with the black tank top under it, you would see that instead of skin. Then a pair of black jeans that weren't ripped at the knees and of course my good old black and white ChuckTaylors. I put my normal amount of make-up on; but I didn't make it all the way our of the bathroom doorway when my dad said, "what are those?"

I looked down at my chucks knowing that was what he was talking about, "they are my shoes."

"Don't you have any other shoes, possibly nicer ones," he questioned me.

"Nope, these are my only ones and I think they look perfectly fine," saying that was a bad idea, and I knew it.

He raised his eyebrow and coolly said, "well I can help you with that problem." He stood up and made his way to the door, stopped and looked at me, "well are you coming?"

I muttered 'like I HAVE a choice' under my breath as I walked across the room meeting my dad at the door. A few moments later I found myself in a small town with shop upon shop in a row going down the street. I trailed behind him but a step or two and tried not to look up, every time I did there would be a person looking from my dad to me with a shocked look on their face. We finally walked into a shop and the clerk smiled and said, "AH, Severus, hello and how are you, is there anything in particular you are looking for today?"

"No, not today, but Serafina here needs help on finding a 'nice' pair of shoes to match her outfit," he looked down at me with an evil smirk. He was smiling for on reason and one reason alone, he HAD won, he knew that I couldn't get out of having to get dress shoes now. I followed to clerk into an area with dress shoes lining both walls and helped me get some shoes; I didn't go without a fight though. No heels, no no no they have to be black, too flat, them are gray I don't look good with gray. After getting the shoes, I was trailing behind my dad again as we made our way back to Hogwarts. We walked back into his room, and I was forced to put the shoes on, "there now you don't look like I found you lying in the street, well you have two hours before we leave again." At that he walked into his office most likely to arrange plans for the school year.

So I did what most people would do (at least I think they would) I played my red and black Gibson Flying V. I would have when to go see Kiyo, but knowing her, she would still be sleeping, so that left me no other choice. Exactly two hours later we had to leave (my prissy shoes were hella uncomfortable.) After feeling like I was being sucked through a thin plastic tube, we were standing in front of a mansion like house. My dad made his way up to the house and I stayed a step behind him, he stopped and so did I, knocked on the door and I waited. A moment later a woman, not looking more that a year younger that my dad appeared in the doorway, she had blonde hair that went to her mid back, cool blue eyes and was very pale. "Severus, please come in," we walked into the house, with marble flooring and antique looking furniture when she asked, "Who is this, Severus?"

"Oh, this is my daughter, Serafina," he said stepping aside so that I could be seen.

"Nice to meet you, I am Narcissa Malfoy, my son should be down here shortly," Just as she finished the boy who I recognized as princess came walking in.

"Hello Mr. Snape... its you," he finished off looking at me in the up most shock.

Just as shocked, "yes it is me," I held out my hand, "Serafina Snape."

My dad and Mrs. Malfoy looked from him to me and back to him. He then gave my had a quick shake and calmly, "Draco Malfoy."

"Well Draco, why don't you be a gentleman and show Serafina around the house, Severus and I need to talk," she said as my dad followed her into a separate room.

"Well since I really don't have anything better to do, I guess showing you around wouldn't be SO bad; he said looking just as bored as me. He showed me around, sounding as thrilled as a caged dog as he did; we stopped in front of a door. He lead me into a white room, with posters covering the walls which consisted of different teams, a queen sized four post bed with emerald green sheets, a large desk which was coved with papers and different books. There were also two doors opposite of each other, one lead into a private bathroom and the other, and a walk in closet. "This is my room, it's the best place in this whole damned house if you ask me," he broke the silences a moment later.

I gave a slight smile, "well I have to admit, I do like your room a lot."

"Well you should, I mean there is only top of the line stuff in here, well I guess if you like it, you must not be THAT bad," he said with a grin.

I glared at him, "just because I like something doesn't mean you know me."

"Really, then why don't you tell me about yourself," he sat on his bed and pointed to a chair I could sit in.

I turned the chair around backwards and sat in it, "well lets see, my full name is Serafina Marissa Snape, I'm sixteen, I-"

"NO, not that, I meant why haven't you gone to Hogwarts if you are Snape's daughter."

"Oh, well I grew up in muggles New York City; not the nicest part either. I lived there for my own safety, some one wanted me and my mom dead, so at two months old my mom left me there, with some one she knew and put a spell of some sort on me so that they couldn't track me unless I did magic. And well I was found, I don't like to talk about my past though. Well I also don't know have of this shit that's going on around me, I was introduced to the wizarding world only two days ago."

"You poor girl, being forced to live amongst muggles, that's horrible," he said actually looking sad.

"Its not that bad, you would just need to get use to it to live there."

Afterwards he took me behind his house and into a maze of tall bushes, it was nice, it reminded me of some fun things I did in New York. We walked around aimlessly or an hour, Draco was telling me about Hogwarts and the wizarding world in general. We stopped somewhere in the maze, I looked up and the sky reliving that the sun had almost completely set already. "Um, Draco, don't you think we should be heading back to your house," I asked while trying to figure out where we were.

"Yea we should its getting dark and dinner will be ready soon, now which way did we come from," he said in a puzzled voice.

I shrugged and though 'well you should know I mean you only LIVE here.' So we tried to find our way back with not much luck. I let out a slight shiver, hoping that he would be nice enough to offer me the jacket he was wearing, it was getting colder a lot quicker now that the sun had set. I could barely see, but I could hear Draco in front of me, he muttered something and then there was a bright light from the tip of his wand. "Come on were almost out, just stay close," he held out his free hand to me.

So I took his hand as he lead me out of the maze. It had taken another ten minutes tops to find our way out and into the house, but it was ok; by the time we got back into the house I had forgotten that I was holding his hand still. So as soon as I realized, I pulled my hand away and felt my cheeks turn a slight shade of pink. Draco had also turned pink, just then my dad had walked into the room where we had just entered. "Your mother was worried, so she sent me out to find you two," he said in a worried tone himself.

After dinner we was our good-byes and my dad and myself apperated back to Hogwarts. As soon as we reached his room I fell onto the couch and pealed off the shoes off my feet. "Now, that wasn't so bad now was it," he said, sitting next to me on the only part of the couch that wasn't being occupied right now.

"What the shoes or having to stay there all day," I asked sitting up with a smile and leaned on my pillow.

"I don't see what's wrong with the shoes, and yes I was talking about your day with Draco."

"It was fine, I guess he isn't as bad as I imagined him to be the other day," I simply smiled.
