Chapter 3
**Milia (Hermione) POV**
Dumbledore rose from his chair and walked over to where the sorting hat sat on a shelf near the arched windows. The hat was placed abruptly on my bushy head abruptly to rouse him from his slight slumber, and with a grumble and a moan he yelled out to a non-existent audience "SLYTHERIN!" This wasn't a complete shock as by the look of whom my parents were standing in my locket, I fully knew both of them were in the house of Slytherin. Which reminded me,
"Sir would I be able to talk to Professor Snape after the Welcoming feast." I asked out of politeness I would get Draco to take me if he agreed or not, "Oh and I need a new school tie." I pointed out as Dumbledore nodded and handed me a Slytherin tie. I put it on loosely and walked off to the Great Hall. Wondering in slight excitement, what the house of Slytherin had to offer.
I slipped quietly into the Great Hall and walked over to the Slytherin table, sitting alone at the end. As I was platting a bit of hair out of sheer boredom a shadow over loomed me as someone sat down next to me. I looked up slightly and saw Draco smirking at my fingers lingered at the end of my strand of hair. I rolled my eyes and went back to platting my hair. "I see you Spoke to Dumbledore" He asked pointing to my new tie loosely in place around my neck.
"Guess you could say that," I mumbled as Dumbledore gathered the schools attention to preform his usual speech before the sorting ceremony. With his arms flaying and a sparkle permanently etched in place, I did start to wonder if Dumbledore had ever considered an occupation in theatrics?
After the sorting and the four houses a little fuller the food finally came to place upon the tables. My eyes every so often would wander over to my 'Father' and take in his face in a whole new light. Sensing somebody was staring at him, Severus Snape turned his head to his own house and located me as i swiftly looked down to my plate and started to poke a carrot to death.
"You going to eat it or continue to torture it?" Draco laughed and then straightened his face back to neutral "Are you going to tell me your name yet?" I shook my head and popped said carrot in my mouth.
"Maybe after you have taken me to see our 'dear' head off house, I need to have a talk with Snape." Draco simply nodded when two owls dropped two letters before our plates. One said 'Head Boy' and the other 'Head Girl'. The letter was short but left us both in shock. It read, 'Dear Head Girl, I would like to inform you about your living quarters that you and the Head Boy will be sharing. It is located behind the portrait of The piper and his pig on the third floor. The password is 'Measlebump'.
Yours
Professor Dumbledore.
I sighed deeply and stood up claiming I was full, I didn't exactly expect we would be sharing a dorm I honestly thought we could have done our head duties and stayed in our respected houses. I walked all the way to my dorm which I would be sharing with Draco. I mumbled the password and walked in.
There was a living area, small kitchen/diner and two en-suit bedrooms. I decided to take the bedroom on the left and when I walked in my trunk was already there at the end of a double bed. One wall had black and white stripes while the rest where white. The carpet was also white. Color immediately danced around the room as I changed the color of the curtains to a pale blue and the lamp shade the same shade.
I heard the portrait open and then close, "Oi, Head Girl!" A deep voice called from the living room.
"Bedroom to the left!" I shouted back as with a flick of my wand my personal items flew open from the trunk and situated themselves around my new bedroom. Draco soon came in through and stood looking around. I pulled my hair into a rough bun and stabbed it in place with my wand.
So the Feast is over, Do you want to see Snape now?" I smiled and quickly shoved on my biker boots and walked out of the door.
"Let's go! Oh and shut my door behind you!" I yell to him as I made my way down to the kitchen and open a cupboard at random to find exactly what I this like room of requirements? I open a cupboard and there is immediately my item in mind? or I am I just plain lucky?
Draco comes down to find me standing by the portrait with a lolly in my mouth, "want one?" I ask offering him a lolly. He simply shakes his head and we turn to go out of the portrait and headed down to the dungeons. Professor Snape's office and personal space was adjoined to the Potion's classroom. Heading down the Potion's corridor Draco show's me an actual door leading to his actual office.
I walk into Snape's office asking Draco to stand outside with a pleading look.
"Excuse me, Sir I was wondering if there is anyway or anything I could do for extra-credit?" Snape had his head down working on some paperwork.
"Miss Granger I am not giving yo..." Snape looked up at me and fell silent.
"Hello Dad," I say simply with a slight crack in my voice.
"M-Milia no way it can't be you but ... You ... Baby ... DUMBLEDORE!" He finally shouted to no one in particular but the air around them, I simply stood their and smiled back. Standing up with some hidden strength, he walked with measured steps around his desk and stood in front of me, gazing slightly at me.
"May i?" I nodded my head at his unspoken question as he immediately lifted me off the ground giving me a hug and engulfing me into his strong embrace. That is when I finally lost it and I started to cry and that is why Draco walked in.
"Um... Would someone care to explain?" We both looked at him. I was crying and Dad was on the verge of crying. But to Draco it looked like the new girl was crying as his head of house, his confider and mentor cuddling the girl he was starting to like.
"Yes, um Draco please escort the head girl back to your dorms, You have my permission to tell him" Dad spoke the last bit to me as with a parting smile he walked over to his floo, no doubt to fire call my Mum.
Back at our common room I sat Draco down on the sofa next to me, both of us had cadbury hot chocolate in hands. I sat cross legged on the sofa and faced him thinking on where to start. Taking a deep breath I started, "My name is Milia Elizabeth Snape, Professor Snape is my Dad and Bellatrix is my Mum. Dumbledore took me from my parents and cast a glamour on me that wore off on my seventeenth birthday. I got a locket with a picture of me and my parents was given to me," I said untucking the locket from my blouse and showing it to him.
"Ah, my godparents" With the confused look she shot him he continued. "No Bellatrix is not my Mother's sister, look's a lot like my Aunt Andromeda though doesn't she?" I nodded my head quietly wondering if someone had committed a small act of infidelity someway down the line, there was no way my Mother and Andromeda was not related. They looked so similar they could be twins.
"So who were you with this glamour on, I presume you already came Hogwarts, you are way to familiar with the castle grounds. " He asked putting a hand on her shoulder. I mumbled out my old name but he just cocked his head to the side to signal he hadn't heard.
"Hermione Granger," I said and he just smirked.
"I knew Granger would get Head Girl, but turning out to be in Slytherin and a Snape at that" He let out a long whistle, "Wow. Well Milia, guess me and you are sharing dorms so we may as well be friends." He smiled a proper smile and for a second he looked kinda cute. Only for a second I must add.
The next morning I got up and had a shower. I braided my hair over my shoulder and put on minimal make up that including my bright red lipstick. Down in the living room Draco was lounging on the love seat with his feet up on the coffee table. I then noticed he was asleep with the soft mews coming from his form and the way his breathing flowed. I walked up behind him and blew gently into his ear. He jumped and quickly looked around before he caught sight of me with my head on the back of the sofa. I smiled at him.
"Meet you in the Great Hall," I yelled as I made my way out of the common room.
