"Ms Summers do desist that inane noise!" Snape's voice cut through Buffy's humming and she looked up slightly startled. Her composure back she said "Why do have to keep calling me that I mean even Dumbledore has started calling me Buffy!"

Snape scowled and said "That is a ridiculous name, what was your mother thinking?" Buffy's eyes saddened for about a second before she got an angry look and said "Don't talk about my mother! What the hell did your mother call you? Richard?"

Snape crossed his arms across his chest and said "In all the times you have talked to Rupert, he has never told you my first name?" Buffy shook her head and said "Well no he just calls you his brother or Professor Snape. Maybe he doesn't know your name either, huh, ever think about that." If Snape hadn't been Snape he would have rolled his eyes instead he raised an eyebrow and said "Yes because it is entirely common for siblings not to know their first names. I guess you call you brother Summers and your sister brat."

Buffy merely laughed and said "Uh huh, you're not getting out of this, name, now before I am forced to throw you over my shoulder and let Giles' tickle you." Snape smirked and said "Your threat is to throw me over your shoulder and let someone tickle me; really can't you be more creative."

Buffy suddenly had a look in her eyes and Snape started backing away. A challenge had been issued and Buffy was not one to back down. Snape shook his head and said "You do this and you will not be able to eat anything at the dining hall, many possibilities, hair, animal…" He left the ending open and Buffy stopped for a second having an image of her hair falling out.

She shuddered considered it for moment and although the image of Snape thrown over her shoulder while she ran down the hall to Giles' room was entertaining it probably wasn't worth it.

She stopped sighed and said "Guess that means you're just going have to tell me." Snape looked at her with an ever used scowl and said "I don't have to do anything". Buffy bit back a grin and said "Well I guess that means I let Dawn and Cayden call you Uncle Snapey in the hall. You do realize the reason they haven't called you that since the last time is because I talked to them!"

Snape scowl deepened if it was possible and he said "Fine but tell anyone and I will be forced to do something you won't like."

Buffy laughed and said "You just made it sound like no one else knew your first name." He snapped "Of course they do but 18 year old dim wits do not usually have me backed in a corner." Buffy shrugged with a simple gesture to continue and he said "Fine it is Severus."

Buffy looked shocked for a second but masked her face immediately and said "Um right. Severus, Sev… I gotta talk to Giles." And with that she ran out of the room leaving a startled Potions Professor.

Giles office

His door was burst open with a slightly out of breath slayer barging in looking like she had seen a ghost. He looked up at her calmly waiting for an explanation which after getting control of her breathing she said "Why the hell didn't you tell me your Snape's name is Severus?"

Giles simply blinked slowly before saying "Why would you need to know that?" Buffy rolled her eyes and said "You know for a watcher some times you can be a real idiot. Let's see one Severus, aka Sev, two, the twins are in Slytherin, three the only reason I am magical is because I am slayer, what do you think the twins excuse is? It seems odd for them both to be magical and not have a magical parent. Four they have weird sense of humour and that smirk. And lastly it kind of makes sense."

Giles slowly said in an unbelieving voice "So you're saying Severus is your mother's Sev?" Buffy smirked and said "Well duh!" Giles shook his head and said "And you are really just taking this because of his name. Really Buffy, has he even been to America? You are just assuming!"

Buffy shook her head and said "Fine, I will go ask and then we will see who is assuming." She strode out of the room back the way she came leaving a gapping Giles. (Author note: That sounds like a fish, hehe, Gapping Giles).

Buffy was back in Snape's dungeon five minutes after leaving it and was surprised to find him still packing up. He looked up shocked but quickly assumed his mask again and said "Is there something you have forgotten Ms Summers?" Buffy scowled and said "Have you ever been to America?"

Snape looked at her curiously and said "May I ask why you want to know this?" Obviously she couldn't tell the actual reason so instead she said "Giles said something about you having been to America and I wanted to prove him wrong. So have you?"

She nearly giggled at this idea, it would be the only way to get information out of him, make it seem like she was going to lose and he would prove her right. Although she half hoped to be proven wrong this time, because the looks from twins would not go over well.

Snape smirked as he watched her look at him with expectation as he said "Once. Although I never expressed this with Rupert, So I have no idea where he got that idea from." Buffy's eyes narrowed now as she said "When?" Snape looked a little shocked at her bluntness and said "12 or so years ago. Why the sudden interest in my personal life?"

Buffy sighed and said "You had an affair with a woman named Joyce didn't you?" Snape face was the picture of shock, look in the dictionary next to the word and there is his picture. Buffy saw a vague similarity to the expression Giles wore not long ago and she couldn't help the grin settle on her face as she said "Knew I was right!"

Then she walked out of the room leaving a startled Professor once again.

She made it to Giles room but no sooner had she entered Snape was behind her demanding to know what was going on. Buffy smirked at Giles and said "He was in America around 12 years ago and had an affair with someone named Joyce. Coincidence I think not. See I told you there was no such thing as Coincidences………. or leprechauns."

Giles frowned and looked at his younger brother who was seething at being left out of what was apparently known to everyone but him. Giles took his glasses off and rubbed his temple before grabbing the letter Buffy had left in his draw and handed it to his stunned brother.

10 minutes later…

Snape looked up at the expectant faces and said in a distressed voice "She's going to start calling me Daddy Snape or worse Father Snape?" With that he slumped in the chair near the door with a grimace.

Author note: Ok Ok I know no Harry but I promise it won't be much longer, probably in the 23rd chapter so not long. Chapter 21 will be the whole tell the twin thing and maybe a little announcement. 22 maybe a Harry reaction and a little rivalry between the twins, the house and Harry's gang and then maybe a detention confrontation. Maybe. And When I said Harry was brat in the fifth book I didn't mean to be mean, I understood why he was being a brat but still doesn't mean he wasn't being a brat. So sorry if anyone misunderstood. Anyway thanks for the reviews, hope you like the update.
