Chapter III
She seemed nervous, and sort of became the little girl he had first met at the train station. She looked up at him and squeezed his hand tighter.
"Don't worry, Love. It's not that scary and I'll protect you." he muttered, stroking her hair softly. She took a deep breath and followed him inside, still holding his hand. She seemed even more amazed then she was at Hogsmeade.
"What do you think?" he asked, smirking at the expression on her face. She turned her gaze on him and smiled weakly.
"It's big." she muttered. He sat her bags down in the foyer, and creaked his back.
"Come , you can Headmaster Dumbledore." he said, starting to walk off. She looked confused and looked back at her bags. He smirked.
"Don't worry, the house elves will get them adn take them to my chambers." he explained, holding out his hand for her. She stood there a few more seconds, before running to her bag and taking out a doll and running back to him.
"Who's that?" he asked, taking the doll from her to look at it. It was old, probably an old baby keepsake. It had dirty, matted brown hair and faded black eyes; it's worn dress was probably once bright pink, but had faded over the years.
"Her name isDanielle. I've had her since I was born. Mummy gave it to me." she informed, taking it back and holding it in her right arm. He nodded and started walking again.
The halls were deserted, classes, thankfully. She still seemed nervous, tense. He stopped in front of the gargoyle and said the password, Gumdrops. He started walking up the steps, until he noticed she wasn't following.
"What is it?" heasked, turning to look at her.
"What if he doesn't like me?" she whispered, shuffling form one foot to another. He took a deep breath and kneeled down to her level.
"Don't you worry, Albus likes everyone, trust me." he commented, lifting her chin with her fingers. She smiled and rubbed her eyes. He smiled back and, suddenly, picked her up and carried her up the stairs.
"Put me down." she squealed, laughing and hitting him on the back, softly. He sat her down and knocked on the office door. He helped her brush her hair back out of her face.
"Come in." the old headmaster chimed from inside. Professor Snape opened the door and ushered her in, in front of him. She grabbed onto his hand. Dumbledore stood up and walked over to her.
"Hello, you must be Sasha. I've been very excited to meet you." he said, holding out his hand for her to shake. She gulped and looked up at her brother. He nodded and nudged her with his knee. She smiled and shook the old man's hand.
"This is my employer, Headmaster Albus Dumbledore." Snape introduced.
"Oh, Severus. No need to be so formal. It's Albus." The old wizard corrected, "You're brother can never seem to call me that, though. He's so up tight and tense. But I bet you can change that." he chuckled, ruffling her hair. She smirked and blushed.
