A Snakes Daughter

Chapter 4

Normal P.O.V

The silence was absolute , a pin could have dropped .Salazar himself was in shock he hadn't really expected it to be true. A thousand and one questions were running through his mind , he had a

daughter , a daughter that was the most prominent thought running through his mind at the moment . But wait did that mean Lilly was still alive? Looking at his daughter who looked as shocked as the

others he decided he'd worry about that later. " B - but how ? ", stuttered out Godric , " How is it possible Lily - , here he looked at Salazar who had taken her death hard – Lily he continued on calmer

died . " Always so eloquent Godric ", Salazar found himself saying " And I don't know he continued looking up at Godric maybe the spell sent her back to her own time line , where she took on the last

name potter. Only as a blood brother – sister bond to protect Anastasia ," here he turned to look at his daughter who had fallen asleep during the conversation. He crossed to her side folding himself

gracefully into the chair at her side and running his fingers through her hair . " I will see you later " , Salazar intoned and Godric nodded his head taking it as the obvious dismissal it was , before

turning to follow Rowena and Helga who had left awhile ago and leaving his half-brother to watch over his newly reacquainted daughter.

~ Later that evening ~

Normal P.O.V

Anastasia woke to the sensation of having long , thin fingers ran through her hair , it was a nice feeling her half asleep mind decided and she leaned into the touch , causing the hand to momentarily

stop it's movements. " Anastasia are you awake ? " a deep male baritone voice asked , it made her feel safe and she felt the need to know who it belonged to so she opened her eyes and found Salazar

Slytherin , who also happened to be her father. "Yes ", she answered though it was now unnecessary . She found herself curious " I'm guessing you didn't know about me ? " Not exactly her new father

explained slowly , he looked her right in the eyes " I thought you both died when your mother, pregnant carrying you was hit with a spell and I never saw her again . You see she was from 1976 , she

somehow got sent back in time in a potion accident and we fell in love . We got married and she fell pregnant with you , here Salazar smiled"I was ecstatic when she told me , he smiled at Anastasia "

I've always wanted to be a father . She smiled back " But it was a time of war and your mother while helping someone else was hit with a stray curse , And I never saw her again I searched

everywhere for you both finally after five years I was forced to give up , he'd stopped smiling long ago ." I guess it sent her back to her time where scared and alone expecting with child , and married

to a man dead for a thousand years , she turned to her old friends and formed a blood brother bond,taking on the last name potter , so none would be the wiser , James must have named you his heir.

Anastasia had tears running down her face , " I'm guessing by the fact you didn't know any of this Lily has been dead a long while . " Anastasia threw herself into her father's arms and her father

caught her , for the first time in a long time Salazar allowed himself to cry and they grieved together for the loss of a mother and wife.
