I looked around me and all I saw a dark forest. I was 10 again and was alone. "Daddy?" It was very cold out there. I started to shake. Then I saw it
"Skyler! Wake up!" I jolted up from my bed. I was sweating. "It's fine your at home it's just me and you. Did you have that dream again?" My father questioned as he sat on the edge of my bed. I nodded. "You'll be fine. Now get up, take your potion, and get dressed please." He told me to do. I nodded and he left. I was still shaking as I got up and got in the shower. I grabbed so comfy pants and a tank top. I looked in the mirror. It was hard for me to believe that I used to be a brunette with piercing green eyes. All I saw now was a blond with dull violet eyes. I took my potion and was ready to go.
We finally walked threw the front gates of Hogwarts. I had miss seeing this place. I followed my father. "Now we need to go up to Dumbledore's office so he knows we are here." I simply nodded and followed him up to the office. "Come in" I heard a voice say. We walked in and I saw Dumbledore sitting at his desk. He glanced up then smiled. " Severus it is so nice to finally see you in the castle again. Oh and Skyler you have grown so much since I last saw you. I am very happy your father decided to let you come this year. I still have your old room if you would like to use it at any time" My room. It was a secret room in the astronomy tower. I loved it so much. "Now Severus, all your things are in your new DADA room. You must be so proud of your dad." Defense against the Dark Arts? My dad had wanted that job for my whole life. That job was cursed though. He couldn't have it. I looked at my father. How could he do this? I ran out of the room as my eyes started to tear up.
I ran as fast as I could to get away. He couldn't take this job. He was the last person in my family alive. I ran to the astronomy tower. I climbed up all the stairs and went to the ledge. It had been so beautiful here. For a moment I felt at peace. 'Skyler!" I heard my father yelling. I turned around seeing him at the top of the stairs. "What was that all about in the head masters office?" HE questioned. I just scowled at him. "Why didn't you come to me before you accepted that job?" I yelled even though he was standing right there. He looked down then back up at me. " So this is why you are upset. Skyler you have know I have wanted this job for over about 16 years. This job is almost everything I have ever wanted. Fighting against dark arts is important to me." I scoffed. "Ha right that's why you went of and joined the death eaters right? Thats why you have that thing on you arm? Because you just love fighting against it!" I yelled again. He just stared at me. "How can you say that? I gave up that life a long time ago! Mainly for you but it seems you are ungrateful for that! I ran away from that life and all you can do is find some way to insult me! God you can be just like your mother! Well you can just go t your room!" He yelled and stormed off. I was shaking. My father never yelled at me. I walked into my room and started to cry.
SNAPE P.O.V.
I couldn't believe I yelled at Skyler. I never did that to her. I just got so worked up about it. It had been six hours since I had yelled at her and she hadn't come to find me yet. I was starting to worry about her. Skyler had always been one to keep to herself when upset which worried me more. I sat at my desk arranging the lesson plans I had for the school year. Then I heard a knock. "Come in" isaid not bothering to look up. "dad?" I looked to see Skyler standing in the doorway with a pan in her hand. "i brought so pizza for us to eat, I thought you might be hungry and I had the house elves make it." she said walking over to the desk in front of mine. She set down the box and sat on top of the desk. "I'm sorry" we both said simultaneously. Then we both laughed. "It was my fault dad. I shouldn't of yelled at you about the death eater thing. I know that you have changed and I was just upset about you taking the job. It's just I know that job is like cursed and I didn't want to loose my only relative left." she explained and stared back at me. " I am sorry too Skyler. I just was upset you thought that and it reminded me of your mother and... that topic shouldn't be talked about." I explained. She climbed off the desk and gave me a hug. I was glad to have my daughter back.
We sat and talked for hours. Then I looked at her arm and noticed a scar. "What happened?" I questioned with concern. She got red. "Um well yesterday when we were shopping and I as trying to get a book off the top shelf then... Draco... um he walked in and I saw him and I kind of blacked out. Then he took me back to the leaky cauldron and his mom went to get my other supplies. He started talking about how he used to have a best friend named Skyler and.. and..." she started crying. " I am sorry Skyler. I know how much he meant to you and how much you meant to him.. You and I both know that the dark lord wanted dead. Not because of who you were because of who your mother was" I explained. She nodded. I hated seeing her like this.
