Chapter 3

Disclaimer : I do not own anything that has to do with Harry Potter.

A/U: Sorry this chapter is so short but I wanted to get something out. The next chapter will be really, really soon.

Snape jumped up and ran in to the childrens room to see Rachel jumping on one of the beds shreiking with delight. Snape ran over to the bed and grabbed the squealing child off the bed.
"Never make that noise again." he said to her, relived to see she was alright.
"What noise?" she asked.
"The nosie you were just making"
"Which one"
"That terrible shreaking noise." said Severus who was starting to get impatient.
" You mean this one?" She let out a high pitch scream that Severus was sure the whole castle could hear. He and Casey both covered their ears. Eventually Snape clapped his hand over Rachels mouth and the noise ceased.
" I said don't do that." said Severus almost yelling.
"But I like to." said Rachel laughing. She started screaming again.
"Rachel stop! cryed Casey. "It too loud."
"Ok." she stopped.
"Why will you listen to him and not me? After all I am your..." he thought for a moment.
"...Parent." He couldn't tell if he liked the effect of this word but his thought process was interuppted by the little girls response.
" You funny when you mad, Sevis." giggled Rachel who had crawled back on the bed and started jumping again. He pulled her of the bed again and set her on the floor.
"Hmpf!" she pouted and crossed her arms. Severus wasn't paying attention to this, he was too preoccipied thinking. 'She's not afraid of me! How? Even the Slytherins are scared witless of me, yet this litte girl is not. I don't get it'
He went back to his reading in the other room for awhile and every now and then checked on the two. About an hour later he looked at the clock. 'Noon.' He thought. 'I guess I should be getting those two little monsters some food, hmm, what do small children eat anyway?' he deiced that he would figure this out in the Great Hall. But this thought made him think of another problem. 'What will the students say when I show up in the Great Hall with those two? I know, I will just fail anyone who bothers me about them.'
