Thank you all so much for reading this far I know I havent been the most reliable updater but I will promise to not give up on this story. Thanks to my Beta Futurstar81 I love you! I hope you enjoy this chapter.
P.S. someone said that Hagrid hates Slytherins in their Review but I just wanted to answer them by saying I feel like Hagrid wouldn't hate anyone out right like that in the first movie when Harry says that Snape is the one wanting to steal the stone he says he trust snape because Dumbledore does I dont think when he speaks about slytherins I dont think he means it in a terrible way he just doesnt know any better. Well I said what I had too enjoy.

Ch.8 - The Silent Journey
Sapphira:
Today is the day she was finally going to Hogwarts, she woke up at the crack of dawn to make sure she had everything although Hagrid found it to be a bit unprecedented since she was only going up to the castle not moving out of the country. She tried to stress the importance of having everything but Hagrid would get to emotional and just wind up hugging her and every time she would sigh and try to calm him. Aunty Minerva stopped by with breakfast followed closely by Grandpa Albus, who had gotten her a chocolate frog and a really fancy quill she absolutely loved her gift and hugged him tightly "Thank you thank you thank you I love it thank you." Albus only chuckled and hugged her back "You deserve it now put it to good use and get all Outstanding in classes and I will see about possibly getting you another" Her eyes widened and she smirked " Obviously Grandpa there is no way I'm getting lower than Outstanding." Aunty Minerva smiled at that and said "I expect no less, but don't go telling your new friends that I am an animagus and ruining the fun that comes with those baffled late first years." Sapphira smiled "I wouldn't dream of it" she gave her an approving nod as Hagrid burst into tears again. She sighed "Papa you will see me later today don't worry." He made unintelligible noises and Sapphira looked to Albus whose eyes sparkled "I have an idea how about I take you to kings cross?" Sapphira jumped for joy "I would love that!" she was bouncing on her toes and then suddenly stopped looking to Hagrid " If it's ok with you papa of course" her eyes shone with excitement at the possibility and when Hagrid gave his nod of approval she beamed at him happily launching herself into his arms. Hagrid caught her and held her tightly until she begged to be let go and she quickly finished her food before getting her things and Albus shrunk them for her and she placed them in her pocket and then grabbed the owl her papa got her which she conveniently named Ruby after him. Ruby ruffled her wings and Sapphira let her out of her cage and gave her a letter she wrote to Draco the night before. It read
Dear Draco,
Today is the day we finally get to go to the best school in the land HOGWARTS. I will be taking the train so save me a spot or else…. Just kidding just save me a spot ok
lots of love your favorite person,
Sapphira

She smiled and said her goodbyes to Papa as she followed grandpa to his office happily beaming. She sat in his chair popping a lemon drop into her mouth as there was a tapping on the window Albus let the owl in and took the letter from it giving him a treat in return. He opened the letter and read it then sent a patronus to someone before putting the letter away. "Alas Sapphira it would seem I cannot take you to King's cross but don't fret your Papa is needed here so I will just ask someone else to bring you." Sapphira sighed a bit sad at the news but as soon as the tall brooding Professor made his way into the room her sadness was replaced with the earlier curiosity. She hadn't found much on the professors past except that he was a half blood, but she was determined to find out more maybe this was her chance. " Headmaster you summoned me?" he was giving off his usual mysterious feeling when Albus broke the silence saying " Ah yes Severus I have a favor I must ask of you" Severus gave a small nod " what is it?" he finally noticed the young girl sitting in the headmasters chair. "I must burden you with the task of bringing this young witch to King's Cross I planned on bringing her myself but there is a pressing matter at the ministry and I cannot take her and Rubeus is busy as well so that leave me with you" Severus grimaced and Sapphira noticed and sighed. "What about Minerva certainly she can bring her." Albus shook his head " No my dear boy she has to worry about everything involving the student arrivals and as I know you have finished setting up for the new Slytherin's and are free you are my ideal choice." Professor Snape was not pleased at this revelation and sneered "fine but next time find someone else." He spun on his heel motioning for Sapphira to follow and she did a bit nervous that she was about to be alone with Professor Snape for the first time hopefully he would answer her questions.
Severus:
He was furious how dare that blasted old coot insinuate that he had nothing better to do than bring the brat to the train Severus had plans granted most of it was to talk to Lily and see if any of her memory was coming back. Lily…. She was all he could think about even more so now that she was alive. Lily was alive and she was still his friend. He couldn't ask for more but he felt terrible like something was wrong not telling Lily the truth and not telling her about her son. Just thinking about it made him feel terrible. "Are you ok?" Severus turned to Sapphira with and fixed her with an intense stare. She looked back at him with those strange Onyx eyes he grew uncomfortable and turned away masking his confusion. Sapphira on the other hand wanted to know more about the man that stood before her but could tell now wasn't the time to ask questions. He led her to the nearest floo and together they flooed to the Leaky Cauldron and he took her to King's Cross. She was extremely nervous as she trailed behind him and soon she lost sight of him completely and started to panic.
Sapphira:
Where was he? Oh Merlin what if I never find him? Her mind was racing and she wandered further until she found a bench and sat at the edge her eyes brimming with tears she was going to miss the train and then remain lost in London forever. When she finally her the deep voice of Professor Snape calling her name just as a tear fell. She wiped it away and ran to him hugging him tightly "I'm so sorry I was following you and then all of the sudden you were gone and I panicked-"he was tense and cut her off pulling out of her embrace "Its fine Ms. Hagrid just never hug me again understood" her eyes widened and she nodded quickly and Professor Snape started to walk off Sapphira followed silently Severus slowed a bit so as not to lose her again. Sapphira stayed close to him and when they got to in between platforms nine and ten Professor Snape instructed her how to go to platform 9 3/4 and then she took a deep breath and ran at the wall surprised when she got through and in shock at the sight of the train in front of her. She smiled widely not even noticing when Professor Snape appeared behind her. All the nervousness dissipated when she saw her blonde best friend and ran up to him pulling him into a hug which shocked the boy who was putting his trunk away but stopped to hug her back. The two spoke and Severus noticed they were busy and went to leave when Sapphira noticed and went over to him and saying thank you Professor Snape for everything
Severus Snape:
He stared down at the small girl and sneered before apparating away back to hogsmeade. He made his way back to his Hogwarts and just as he was heading to Lily's quarters he was stopped again and asked for something else, he spent most of the day that way being asked for favors and help or to do something else. Severus had just about had enough.
