A/N thank you to everyone who read the last chapter, but please review, I would love to know if you have any ideas or suggestions for the next chapter and sorry about the late update I had soooooooo much homework to do.
The next day Olivia, Ginny and Hermione, who were sharing a room, awoke to Mrs Weasley shouting that it was almost time to go to platform 9 ¾ and that they had to be dressed and ready to leave in 35minuets. It took Olivia less than 10 minutes to get ready to leave as Olivia wasn't hungry and seeing as she was part vampire she didn't necessarily have to eat just drink the blood Severus had given her yesterday. When she headed downstairs Olivia overheard a conversation between Mr and Mrs Weasley saying how Sirius Black was trying to get to Harry which was why the ministry had paid for the cars and the stay at the leaky cauldron. Olivia was concerned for her brothers' safety but also intrigued as to who Sirius Black was; she would have to look it up in a book, hopefully Hogwarts had a good library.
The ministry cars pulled to a stop outside kings cross station; this is strange thought Olivia I'm pretty sure this is a muggle train station not a magical one. When she asked harry he simply said that she would have to wait and see. Kings cross was so busy; she stuck close to Mr and Mrs Weasley and hid in between them. When she saw Fred and George disappear through a wall she gasped and Mrs Weasley told her not to worry, Harry who could sense his sisters nervousness offered to go with her, Olivia gratefully excepted and was shocked when she came out on the other side in one piece. The twins had already gone to meet their friends and Percy had gone to help some muggleborn first years, as it was his job as head boy.
"Goodbye Olivia I'll see you soon stay with Harry, Hermione, Ginny and Ron they'll look after you and make sure you write and tell us what house you get put into."
Thank you Mrs Weasley I'll write as soon as possible
Molly and Arthur gave Olivia one last hug and wave before ushering everyone to the train. Once they were all on the train Olivia started to get a bit bored, Hermione noticed this and gave her a book to read Hogwarts; a History harry snatched the book off of Olivia and said that she would never read the book in her life as it was so boring.
Really Harry, it looks quite interesting was the reply Harry receivedand so he gave the book back, Hermione was looking smug whilst Ron and Ginny were laughing their heads off. Later in the journey a platinum haired boy sauntered into their compartment like he owned he place and started insulting everyone
"hello welcome back Potty, Weasel, Weaselette and mudblood oh who's this can't be another weasel because her robes are new is she a mudblood, I think not she has pottys eyes is, hmmm guess your mother was a naughty girl sleeping with other men I almost feel sorry for your father."
Olivia was not impressed insulting her, then harry and her mother was not okay and Olivia decided to see if her vampire gift would work, so she glared at Malfoy and played his worst fear to him, his mother and father being killed, Malfoy screamed outloud and shouted NO at the top of his voice. When the image stopped he fell onto Olivia and gazed at her eyes they were like dark pools crying out o be loved and cared for, Malfoy shook off the thoughts and stood up he went to insult Olivia but he just stuttered making no sense and asked what her name was.
"I'm Olivia but I suggest you remover yourself from this compartment as you are….." Olivia trailed off as she found herself unable to insult the boy who had just been mean to harry and her mum. Malfoy pulled himself off the floor and drew himself away from Olivia, his Olivia. He felt magically bound to her; he would have to tell his parents about this.
"Olivia, you spoke." Ron stated
"Well obviously I can but I just prefer to talk like this" Olivia spoke telepathically to the group
"Why do you speak like that it's not like you don't know us very well." Asked Ron
Olivia just looked between Ron and Harry seemingly looking at him for an escape as Olivia didn't want to reveal to the group why she didn't like to speak. Harry recognised this and changed the conversation to what Hogwarts was like and he houses, also who not to mx with and which teacher would forgive late homework also which teachers were not so forgiving and would hand out detentions freely.
Ron and Harry left to get changed into ther robes whist the girls changed in the compartment. Olivia felt singled out in her first year robes and was beginning to feel slightly nervous about the sorting as all of her friends were Gryffindor's. The train came to a stop at a station called Hogsmede and a giant man who must have been 10ft tall was calling over all of the first years. Olivia looked worriedly at harry and shuffled in-between him and Ron for protection. Harry noticed that Olivia looked extremely worried, almost as though she was about to cry.
"Don't worry Olivia you're going to do just fine at the sorting and ill save you a seat if you get put into Gryffindor," harry noticed that Olivia was now crying so hugged her and lowered his voice "keep this to yourself but the sorting hat nearly put me in Slytherin I had to ask not to go in Slytherin and that's Hagrid he isn't as scary as he looks come on let me show you."
Olivia had stopped crying and warily followed Harry towards Hagrid, when Hagrid saw Harry the half giant smiled and said "ello arry how you doin and hoose this littlun you go with ya ay?"
"This is Olivia she is a first year but she was a bit nervous so I bought her to you myself," Explained Harry
Hagrid smiled at Olivia who seemed to relax but she still seemed reluctant to leave Harry as she had grown quite attached. Olivia, although she didn't say so, wanted to go and see her father to ask him about what happened on the train, but as Olivia had previously learned, you should never ask for anything. Harry waved goodbye to his sister and went to the carriages worrying if she was going to be ok if he left her. Even though Harry and Olivia had barley known each other for two days they had already bonded over the fact that they both had living family and Harry felt very protective towards Olivia.
Severus was alerted to the fact that the students were almost at Hogwarts by feeling a sudden rush of emotions come over him, he locked every one else's feelings out but focused on Olivia's she was so nervous and his heart was aching not being able to comfort his newly discovered daughter and contrary to popular belief Severus did have a heart and feeling, tough this just added to the worry that he felt as he knew what most of the students called him: greasy git, bat of the dungeons and vampire professor just to name a few.
A snap awoke Severus from his thoughts as a Hogwarts elf told him that his presence was required in the great hall, he thanked the elf and headed to the great hall, Severus made sure that he glared at every student he passed on his way to the great hall. He sat usually sat between Minerva and the Defense against the Dark Arts teacher that this year was Professor Remus Lupin. Neither Lupin nor McGonagall were present as Remus was transforming and Minerva was greeting the first years so there was a gap next to him, which helped him keep up his strict persona.
With his select Vampire hearing, Severus could hear Minerva giving her usual first year speech just as Dumbledore was telling the students to be quiet as not to scare the first years. Another alarming point was the emotions he could feel from Olivia, he sent calming waves towards her and he felt that his gift had worked its magic as Olivia had called down considerably. The first years entered the hall and they all looked in amazement at the great hall, usually Severus would cringe at their opened mouths however this year was different he could only admire his daughters look of delight at her first sight of Hogwarts. It reminded him of Lily when she first entered the great hall all those years ago. Even at that time in his life, at the age of 11 Severus was still a sheet of blank paper, ever showing emotion, he left his emotion for one person only and that person was Lily, his mate, yet here was the thing he didn't understand if Lily had died why hadn't he?
Olivia looked up at the ceiling of the great hall in wonder and thought of the Hogwarts: A History she had read on the train, the ceiling was enchanted. As Olivia heard Professor McGonagall call out the first few names she suddenly wondered what Severus had told her about her name Olivia thought it was Prince so she decided to wait until Professor McGonagall called the name Olivia as there were two possibilities: Evans after her mother or Prince after Snape's mother. Finally Olivia's name was called by which time about half of the first years had been sorted into their houses, the name called was Olivia Evans, and when no one made a move she looked at her father and he made a slight nod. Cautiously, Olivia walked up to the stool and Professor McGonagall placed the hat upon her head it spoke to Olivia in her mind and it said
Ahh I sense great power, you are pureblooded, you would make a great Slytherin, your father did, I feel you wonder about your blood status, well your mother was a pureblood but was adopted as her true parents didn't love her, a little known fact but obvious when you think about it how else did she get her vampire blood.
You are intelligent and witty, but I don't think you would fit in there; you don't crave knowledge, or wish to share it.
Definitely not Hufflepuff you are to individual for them,
Maybe Gryffindor, you're certainly brave even if you don't realize it, Loyal to those close to you and your mother was Gryffindor to the core, I think that is where you belong, remember that despite what others may think, I sense your power over the elements and nature, use it well my superior.
GRYFFINDOR, the hat finally shouted. I looked at my father upset that I wasn't in Slytherin as then I would've been able to see him more, but I was in the same house as the Weasley's so that was good," Olivia thought to herself
Olivia went and sat down at the end of the table as the sorting finished, the next thing that happened was the welcome speech from Dumbledore and finally the food, that was interesting because Olivia didn't eat much human food she had maybe one meal in two weeks and even then it was only a giant piece of extremely rare steak so for the most part Olivia just shoved some peas and mash around her plate. The girl sitting next to her introduced herself as Esme and then just talked to Olivia whilst Olivia nodded at the appropriate times, that was until she heard Esme ask
"So what about you? Tell me about yourself"
Olivia didn't know what to say so she just said that she lived in a muggle orphanage so didn't know her blood status or anything about her parentage, which was partly true. Harry smiled at Olivia in approval and encouragement as she had just spoken to someone and the story she had made up was easily believable. Olivia looked at her father as she knew he would have heard what she had said, especially with his vampire hearing, and Severus nodded too in approval and encouragement.
Soon the feast was over and Percy, the Gryffindor prefect, led them all up to the common room. Once in the common room all of the first years were given 30minuets to settle into their dormitories and then they had to go back into the common room to have a talk from Professor McGonagall about the rules, uniforms etc. At the end of the talk McGonagall asked to talk to Olivia.
"Hello Miss Evans, Professor Snape wishes for me to escort you to his office, if you would follow me."
I followed the Scottish professor through corridor after corridor carefully memorizing them and making a mental map to make sure she didn't get lost when trying to find her classes. Finally they reached a dark looking classroom, it was filled with benches and looked similar to a muggle chemistry map. In the corner of the classroom there was a closed door Professor McGonagall nocked o the door and the voice of Severus answered. When the door swung open Severus did not look happy.
