New Life Needed

Chapter 8 Snape

Severus Snape sat in his rooms. Content with a potions journal he recently acquired and a glass of whiskey, which he swirled unconsciously as he read. Yet his thoughts were else where, on the one subject he had thought about every day. His little girl. Amy Liana Artemis Snape-Bartlett would be seventeen now. Probably turning out stables at Heartland. A tear rolled down his eye as he thought of his lost soulmate. Marion was married when they met with Lou already born. Marion could not dare leave her husband. Who else would look after Lou while he had a high profile career? Lou would not be able to enter the Wizarding world, as she did not inherit Earth Abilities.

However, when Marion became pregnant, she knew precisely whose baby it was. Severus was told when they made up their plan. But Marion's death was not part of said plan. Severus felt what happened to Marion and heard word on the gossip chain about Amy. He visited her three times whilst she was in her coma, seeing how much alike of Marion she looked. Yet her brown eyes were his own mother's and her cheekbones and nose looked like his (before he broke it during a rough quidditch game, damn James Potter!). He hoped he would see his daughter again. He sighed and went to bed.

Amy

As the plane landed at seven in the morning, Amy felt exhausted. She was never really a good traveller. She found her two cases and went into the toilets. Shutting and locking a stall door she looked at her ring and taking a deep breath, quietly but fluently said

"Family comes first!" She felt a tug at her bellybutton as she swirled round, landing on her bottom in a huge entrance hall. She immediately got up, a blush on her face, looked round to see if anyone saw her land on her arse. The blush deepened when she saw people surrounded her. They all stared at her, creating a four metre away crowd. Amy felt extremely nervous and awkward. Even more so when an old man in a weird moon robe came forth, his crescent framed eyes twinkling.

"Hello my dear, and who might you be?" he said cheerfully. Amy was about to answer when a shocked voice pushed through the crowd.

"Oh my Merlin! Amy?!?!" Snape pushed through the crowds and after a pause, Amy literally ran into the man she instinctively knew was her father. He put his arms round her as they shared a small father and daughter moment.

"Severus, who might this young lady be? A niece perhaps? Snape smirked as him and Amy let go of each other. Snape noticed Amy with an identical smirk.

"Actually Headmaster, this is my daughter, Amy Liana Artemis Snape-Bartlett. Or as she was generally called by others, Amy Fleming. Her mother was Marion Fleming, a noble Earth Elemental. As is my daughter. Their speciality is dealing with horse-based creatures." Everyone looked shocked and Amy held her head high and confident.

Harry

Damn Mother! Harry thought slightly vehemently. He had truly come to love his mother but TWO MONTHS in the hospital wing??!! Merlin! And the girls had been hitting random kids (except Rose) with harmless hexes that they couldn't get rid of themselves – only Harry or Madame Pomfrey could. Suffice to say he was planning a new prank… "HARRY JAMES POTTER!!!" yelled three voices simultaneously with a smug Rose following behind. The girls all had red and green hair and purple spots saying 'Give me a" on Gabby "wig and call" on Fleur and on Danie "me Baby, kisses!" he laughed, the spell had turned out better then he hoped! Just as the girls were about to approach him, three stunners hit them in the back along with three voices yelling "Merde!" Each guy ran to his respective girlfriend, with the exception of Dimitre, who put an arm around Rose and pecked her on the cheek.

The nine teens laughed as they went to have some dinner and the dudes were sorted

"Andreas Nichols!"

"My word! I have never seen such a sadistic mind when it comes to pranks! Perfect for Miss. Danie. Be careful how dangerous they become lad SLYTHERIN!"

"Morris, David!"

"Ahhh, a calm, caring mind, perfect for Miss Gabby, good luck in HUFFLEPUFF!"

"Delacour, Dimitre!"

"Ahh, a fantastic mind, just like your sister, and knowledgeable enough to protect Rose, RAVENCLAW!"

"Bousarie, Antonio!"

"I haven't seen anyone resistant to Veela charms in a while!! GRYFFINDOR!"

Harry was the only one surprised when Amy was called.

"Ah, so you do not know who your soulmate is? I believe, as you do have the inner strength of Slytherin, the heart of Hufflepuff, the need to be informed of Ravenclaw and the amazing hero/heroine complex of Gryffindor, I will place on the same table as your soulmate, MERLIN HOUSE OF TRUTH!"

This time everyone except Harry was shocked. Amy sat next to her soulmate who kissed her hand and pulled out her chair for her.

"Oh, and Mr. Potter?" said the Sorting Hat casually

"Yes?"

"Good luck with having Regulas Black as a father! I did hear he was hiding from the Dark Lord as he was never loyal to him!"

Need I say the entire hall gasped?
