Sturgis Chandrasekhar turned in the direction of the voice and Skylar glanced and saw a man with greasy-looking long black hair and black eyes. Skylar then felt a pit f fear growing in her stomach.

"Ahh, Severus Snape. I wasn't expecting you?" Mr. Chandrasekhar said in a deep cold voice, almost like ice. The man named Severus then whipped out a tree branch and was in mid-wave before Sturgis grabbed Skylar and pointed something on her neck, making Skylar even more nervous and fearful.

"No so fast Severus, one curse or jinx. And this girl will be dead before you can say pureblood." Severus finally got a glimpse of Skylar and stared at her, almost in shock.

"Lily?" He asked in an unsure tone, Skylar was about to shake her head 'no' when she felt the thing almost digging in her skin. Sturgis gave out a loud cruel laugh at Snape's awed expression.

"No, this is the daughter of the stupid Mudblo-" "Crucio!" Sturgis Chandrasekhar then dropped to the ground, his branch falling to the ground. Skylar quickly grabbed it and started to run towards Snape when she heard screaming.

"Stop!" Skylar then ran in front of Sturgis when Severus did a second 'Crucio' curse and it hit her instead of the man crying. Skylar hit the ground with a silent scream and Snape's smile fell and he ran to her, while it felt as if Skylar was being stabbed and sliced, her scar felt as if a hot metal pot was sitting on it. But soon the pain was starting to ebb away and Skylar felt that her eyes were misty, she then realized that she was still holding the wand in her hands. Severus was sorta hugging her, holding her in his arm, whispering something Skylar couldn't make out. He then glanced up and met her soft bright green eyes and did a sigh.

"I'm deeply sorry...You are just like your mother." He then let her go and stood over Sturgis pointing his wand at him. Glaring with his black eyes that looked like ice, rather than the warm look he gave Skylar.

"So the Dark Lord told you to come kidnap and kill her. Yes?" Severus almost growled, he then pulled Sturgis up from the ground while he was still shaking.

"I ASKED YOU A QUESTION!" Snape shouted in his face, while Sturgis shook his head quickly yes. Snape did a fake laugh and threw him back on the ground.

"You disgust me, Chandrasekhar. You're going to Asaban you," he then glance back at Skylar, still shaking a little, "prat." He finished leaving Sturgis frozen with shock of really going. Severus then walked back to Skylar and took a small bag from inside his cloak, he then opened it and then gave a brown chunk to her. Skylar looked at it warily.

"It's chocolate, don't worry." Snape said, attempting a small smile. "I'm sorry, but I'll have to take away your memory of Sturgis Chandrasekhar or of your surname. It's Headmaster's orders." Before Skylar could respond he did a memory charm on her, for she then looked at Snape with confusion.

"Who are you?" Skylar asked, glancing at his odd clothing. Trying hard not to smile or laugh, for she felt as if this was not a man to make fun of.

"My name is Severus Snape, a Potion Professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I came here to give you your letter and take you with me to get your supplies and take you to the station. Any questions?" He asked as she stood there frozen looking up at him. Confusion in her great green eyes, she then sat down and closed her eyes, her dark red hair forming a sort of halo around her head.

"Are you calling me a witch? The have green faces, pointy noses, and are ugly! I can't be one of them!" Skylar said while she now laid, leaned up against a tree while she saw a man passed out near by. Snape some how knew she was going to ask about him.

"His was a bad man, he's still alive, but he'll wish he was dead. And to answer your question, yes I am calling you a witch. And those are stereotypes of them, for I'm a wizard and I can prove it if you don't believe me." Severus then grabbed a branch from inside his pocket in his robes and swished it through the air and flowers showered above Skylar. Skylar watched in amazement, as she now knew this wasn't a prank or joke by the other girls, for that men't she was a real witch. Snape then pulled a yellowish letter from the same pocket and gave it to her. It had a red wax seal on it and it read:

Ms. S,

Under the Bed in the Corner,

122, Williow St,

Ruddery,

Surrey

Skylar looked at the writing in green ink in amazement. She then opened the letter and read:

"Ready? We need to get your stuff." Severus then saw some wizards coming and told her to hide in the bushes. Snape talked to them quickly pointing to the man laying on the ground and then Snape came back after the other two wizards took the man passed out away.

"Now we are ready to leave, hurry up, we have much to do."
