Chapter 6
"Angie Potter?" Snape was trying hard not to feel the hatred rising up in him "Do you know who her parents are?"
Izzy shook her head no.
"Ok think about it sweetie. Potter…Potter. Where have you heard that name before? Think about these words. Potter, Wizarding World, save."
Izzy looked in shock. "You mean my best friend's dad is Harry Potter? The Harry Potter? Wow cool!"
Snape had never told his daughter about his days of teaching Harry. Because that would bring up other questions he didn't want to answer.
"So can I go spend the night at her house? Her parents said it was ok as long as you were ok with it. Please. Please you know I'll be safe." She said with a giggle.
"Well I suppose so" He was not looking forward to this encounter with Potter. Had Hermione told them abut him? Did Potter know whose daughter this was? Did he and Hermione still keep in touch? All these questions would have to be answered soon.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Two Weeks Later
"Dad they'll be here any minute." Angie was yelling.
Harry was picking up a potion that had spilled all over.
"Alright, Alright I'm working on it." Harry called back. This was Angie's first sleepover with anyone other than cousins. Ginny had run out to grab some "needs" for the sleepover. What "needs" they "needed" other than a bed. He wasn't sure. He did know that this was going to be awkward. Whether or not Snape knew who his daughter was friends with or not. He would have to meet Snape alone Ginny would be gone for another hour.
The door bell rang.
"They're here!" Angie yelled
Boomer there black lab started barking as the door bell rang again.
"I'm coming" Harry yelled. Walking to the door with Angie behind him. He opened it and there standing at the door was Snape. The man that had caused Harry so many years of pain and injustices. Standing at the door in a t-shirt and jeans with his daughter who was going to spend the night.
"Hello" Harry said.
"Hello" Snape said back
"Angie!" Izzy yelled.
"Hey!" Angie said. "Hello Professor."
"Hello Angie" Snape smiled.
Harry looked at Snape. He thought it impossible for Snape to do something as human as smile. Much less get Hermione to fall in love with him. Not to mention have a child with her. Who was now spending the night at Harry's house…with Harry's Daughter! If James could see this. Harry had not told Sirius and was not planning on it any time soon.
"Well Potter as long as she doesn't eat too many sweets and stay up too late… I guess it's fine" Snape said
"Of course" Harry said 'I can't believe I'm having this conversation with Snape! Snape! Greasy haired, mean potions master Snape!'
But this was a different Snape. This was Snape with a daughter. Something Harry knew very well changed you forever.
"Thank you Daddy!" Izzy said knowing if she wasn't allowed that they wouldn't have even come.
"Have a good time." Snape smiled hugging his daughter "What time should I pick her up?"
"I'll call you" Harry said feeling a knot in his stomach as he said this to Snape.
"Great" Snape looked at his daughter "Be good! Do as you're told. Capisce?"
"Capisce." Izzy said back.
With that Snape hugged his daughter waved goodbye and left.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Harry shut the door and turned around "So what should we…"
The girls had already run upstairs to Angie's room.
Harry sighed sat down in a chair and started reading his new book.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Ginny was pushing a cart through the local muggle store. When she ran into Hermione.
"Hey" Ginny said
"Hey, Wow looks like you guys are having a sugar feast." Hermione said looking into the cart.
Ginny blushed at all the things she had gotten for the girls. There was cookie dough, frozen pizza, chocolate vanilla and strawberry ice cream, cake mixes, brownie mix, and a few other things.
"Oh," Hermione said in realization "Tonight the big night?"
Ginny nodded. Hermione knew that this was coming up soon. She just didn't realize how soon. She wished she could talk to Snape but she always worried that Izzy would be there and Snape didn't write her back. She didn't know what to do.
If Izzy is at Harry's house that means Snape's alone. I could talk to him without having to worry about Izzy.
"Listen Gin, I got to go but are we all still having dinner at your house tomorrow?"
"Yeah" Ginny said wondering why her friend had to leave so fast. "See you later"
With that Hermione was gone.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Snape was sitting in his chair at home. This was the first night in a very long time that he hadn't had a little girl bouncing around the house. He was starting to read his new book The Merlin Code. The book was causing a great ruckus among the Wizarding Community. Suddenly the doorbell rang. Snape got up and answered it was an annoying kid who lived down the road.
"Yes, Teddy" Snape was sounding like his old self again.
"Um… yeah I'm selling these candy bars I was wondering if you would like to buy some." Teddy asked
"No" Snape said simply starting to close the door
"Look I have to sell these. So buy one!" Teddy said in his spoiled brat tone.
Snape shut the door and went back to his reading. The door bell started to ring again. Snape decided to ignore it.
He had just gotten finished with the first page when POP there was Hermione.
"Sev we need to talk."
"You have to go" Snape said not with anger but hurt.
"I'm not going till you talk to me"
"No" He got up and went into the next room hoping she would leave.
"Why won't you return any of my letters?"
"Look go home I'll write you tomorrow"
Hermione scoffed.
"Hey wait a minute. I've never given you any reason not to believe me."
"33 un-returned letters! Come on Severus"
"That's no reason not to trust me"
"No but you shutting me out like this is wrong" Hermione came back quickly
"Look I don't want to have this conversation with you right now."
"I'm sorry this was the only thing I could think of to get you to talk to me. It had to be done. You ignoring me is wrong. You know what hits me the hardest. Is you keeping me from Izzy. You promised me you would never do that to me…"
"Whoa, wait just a minute here. You want to talk about wrong? Wrong is a mother abandoning a newborn and her husband. Wrong is making your child go through life with out a mother. So don't talk to me about wrong. Also I haven't kept Izzy from you. I told you when you came back it was for good. I haven't seen you show up to talk to Izzy. So don't come and talk to me about wrong?" Snape said his voice full of hurt at this point.
"I just want things back the way they were"
"You want things back the way they were? Hermione do you remember why were here? Do you know how we got here? You left you quit."
"Can't… can't we just talk?"
"Okay what... what do you want to talk about?" Snape was meeting her pitch
"I –I just …. I don't like how things are?"
"Hermione did you leave?"
"Yes"
"Did you walk out?"
"Yes"
"Are you dating Ron?"
"Yes- wait – no I don't know. It wasn't supposed to turn out this way"
"You think I don't know that? You think I planned having to raise my daughter by myself? Do you think I planned the woman I fell in love with to leave me?"
"I didn't want things to turn out this way!"
"Well sorry you're just going to have to accept it"
"I CAN'T! Can we just go back to the way things were?"
"No"
"Why not?" Hermione was hurt and lost she knew she deserved to be hurt but she didn't want to feel it.
"Don't you understand? I can't talk to you because it hurts! Talking to you really hurts! Standing here is killing me okay? Don't you understand that? You think when you left I just got over it? I'm still not over it! I gave you my love I shared my life with you! I never wanted to sleep because my real world was better than my dream world! I had never given my love to anyone but you. And what did you do with it? You took it and broke my heart! The pieces… yes there's still pieces of my broken heart are so small I can fit them through the eye of a needle. I may keep my cool and not look or act hurt around my daughter but you hurt me! It still hurts me! You left. You left me to raise a baby girl all by myself. So when you're ready to grow up and realize what you've done. Realize that Izzy isn't just some doll that you can pull off a shelf when you feel like it. When you've realized those things then you call me and we'll talk. Now please leave"
"I never meant to hurt you" Hermione said and with a POP she was gone.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
"What's a movie?" Izzy asked Angie as they sat in front of the TV.
"Well" Angie said as she finished her last bit of brownie batter "It's this muggle thing my dad bought. It's like watching people act out a really good book."
"Cool" Izzy said still totally lost "What are we watching?"
"Pride and Prejudice, Two Weeks Notice, and The Notebook" Angie answered as she put The Notebook in their DVD player. "This one will make you cry"
"Come on Harry let's watch this one" Ginny said pulling him into the room. Since Harry had bought this TV thingy. Ginny had found some movees that went with it. The Notebook was her favorite movie to watch. Especially with Harry.
"No, Ginny. Please don't make me watch this again. This is like the BIGGEST chick flick of all the movies you got them." Harry whined then looked down to the ground. He knew what Ginny was doing. "You're making the baby face aren't you?" he asked still not looking at her.
"No I would never do that. Over a silly movie"
Harry looked up "Damn it you're making the baby face! Fine we can watch it."
"Great," Ginny said as she pulled him onto the couch.
He put his arm around her and kissed her "I love you"
"Aw I love you too" Ginny said patting her husband on the leg "but, you're not getting out of watching the movie"
"Damn it"
"Nice try"
"You know they call them chick flicks for a reason? Because they're for chicks. Do I look like a chick?" Harry asked
"You still have to watch it. Chick or not." She smiled at him.
"Alright" he smiled back at her. Then leaned down to cover his daughter and Izzy's eyes from what he thought was something not for them.(Noah and Allie from the movie were kissing).
Harry ended up watching all three chick flicks.
