"Finally we arrive" I said and pushed open the Dungeon doors.
"Nice of you to joins us, Miss Alexia"
Stacie stepped right in and my father gave her a knowing glare.
"Take a seat, and wait after class, I need to speak to you. Now take a seat" He said in a cutting tone.
I dont know why I was expecting for him to give me a warm welcome hug but I did and since I didnt get it, I was angry.
"Where would you like me to sit, Professor?"
"Next to Mr. Malfoy"
"Lucky" I heard a girl whisper.
Stacie sat quickly next to a girl with red hair and shrugged while giving me an apologetic look.
I smiled at Draco as I sat next to him. Maybe I was lucky.
We took notes during class and made a small potion. Nothing big or flashy but I was bored to death.
"Class dismissed" My father said and once everyone was gone he approached me.
"Why were you late?"
"I dont know" I didnt exactly want to tell him that it was Stacies fault. He would get mad at her.
"What do you mean you dont know? Dont let it happen again, Alexia"
"God, thanks for the warm welcome" I said and stood up, I grabbed my book bag and began walking away.
"Alexia, Dumbledore would like to see you" He said, it was actually quite random. Firs were talking about being tardy and then Dumbledore. What a weird conversation.
"Why?"
"There are some things he wants to tell you"
I found this really weird. What would Dumbledore want to tell me?
"What does-"
"Alexia, stop asking questions and just go" He said quietly and turned.
"Fine" I said and hurried out of the Dungeon. Sometimes I wondered how my mom, not that I really got to know her since she died when I was little, had fallen in love with my father.

It wasnt until I got to the entrance of his office that I realized I didnt have the password. How was I going to get in?
I leaned back against the wall and sighed. It was all my fathers fault. I closed my eyes and tried to think. There was no way I was going to be able to figure out the password.
"Are you alright?"
I opened my eyes to see Oliver standing a few feet away from me. I nodded.
"Its just that, I feel really stupid, but I dont know the password" I said and looked at him.
"Stupid? No, youre not stupid trust me, I never learned the password back when I was in school" I chuckled.
"Well, actually I never did get it. My father he forgot to give it to me"
"Your father?"
"Snape" I said and stepped away from the wall. He was speechless and looking at me with shock.
"Yeah, I know I look nothing like him right?" Oliver nodded and laughed.
"You've heard it before?"
"About a million times"
It got quiet for a while and I felt really weird. I hate it when theres silence. Its killer silence, you know?
"Well, Im on my way up to Dumbledores office, you can stay and try figuring it out or-"
"Yeah I think Ill go with you"
He smiled and let me go before him. Then he said the password and we both stepped on. I was on the second step he was on the first. I was the same height as him then. I looked every where I could to avoid his eyes. I actually felt stupid because I was actually feeling something for a teacher!.
"professor-" "Oliver, when you say professor it makes me feel really old" I laughed and nodded.
"So, Oliver, why is it that youre teaching again?"
"Well I have a year off before I go back to playing in The PuddleMere United quidditch team"
I was actually really interested in this. After all I used to be the keeper of the quidditch team back at Beauxton.

"Im not really a teacher"He said and smiled at me.
God, that smile and those eyes. They could win over anyones heart. Just looking at him, his lip lightly parted and standing so confident, made my heart beat quicken. In fact it felt like it was over 100 degrees right now. I think I was ready to sweat too.
"Im more of a fill in, you know" I nodded but I really wanted to get there. It seemed like it was taking for ever. I didnt know how much longer I could just stand there looking at him with out actually telling him how I felt. How do I feel?
"You can go in first" Oliver said to me.
"Are you sure, because I can wait, I mean, you were-" I really was talking to much.
I think he knew I was nervous. I didnt take a genius.
"Dont worry Ill wait" He said and sat down on a chair. I smiled a bit nervously and knocked on the hard wood floor.
"Come on in, Alexia" I opened the door and entered.
I have never, ever, seen such a beautiful office. None, can measure up to it. I mean it. The frames, the surroundings, and everything was just awesome. It really felt like home. I know it sounds weird but I really just stood with their with my jaw open.
"Come on in, Alexia, sit down" I snapped out of it and sat right across from Dumbledores desk, where he sat with the Daily Prophet in hand. He eyed me through his half moon glasses and I swear I saw his eyes twinkle.
"You look just like her" I was a bit confused but then I realized he was talking about my mother.
"You knew her?"
Talking about her always made me feel this sadness that made my nose itch like I was ready to cry.
"Yes, I knew her very well"
"Did she go to this school before?" He nodded and smiled.
"Im really glad you decided to come, I wasnt sure that you would agree but Im glad you did How fair was it that my father couldnt even say hi and this total stranger could?"
"What is it you wanted to talk to me about, headmaster?"
"Im going to ask you to please keep the questions until I am done. What am about to tell you might be a bit surprising"
I nodded and wondered what in the world he would tell me. I knew it had to be something serious because of the way he was saying it.
"Your mother, she was the most beautiful woman in the world, I was with her her whole life. I know youre wondering why. That is because I am her father."
I was literally ready to faint. That meant that Dumbledore, the greatest wizard of his time, was my grandfather. My grandfather.

"I wanted you to come because I think it's time that you know the truth. You're father decided, shortly after your mother died, that you should stay away. The reason why I do not know but I simply wanted to meet my granddaughter"
I didnt even realized I was crying until my tears reached my mouth and left a salty taste. I was crying because I had a family. Not just my father, who doesnt seem to like me, but a grandfather.
I stood with out really doing it, I mean really my brain was frozen but somehow I moved across the room to where he stood and hugged him. I hugged him and cried like a baby, something I didnt do very often.
"Im really glad that you came, Alexia, because a long time ago, when you were little, I promised you that I would be there for you. I didnt know then that I wouldnt see you again. But now that youre here, I want to let you know that Im going to be here, to listen, for anything you need"
I cried and looked up at him. He smiled gently, yet he still had this serious look to him. Grandpa I felt his warm hand reach for my chin. Youve grown to be just like your mother We stood there hugging until I noticed that Oliver had entered. He was sitting there looking at both of us. He smiled at me. I knew then that he had known all along. Thats how he knew my name. Thats why he was being so nice. Not because he liked me but because of my grandfather, but that didnt matter then. I was just happy to see my grandfather. The one person that would finally tell me all the things I wanted to know about my mother. My savor, my guardian angel
