2. Chapter 2

Chapter 1

"Hermione," Harry started, after a thought had crossed his mind. Hermione looked up from her book. Their fifth year at Hogwarts had just started, but she still had her nose in her books. All the time, of course. "What?" Hermione wondered. "Have you noticed that Professor Snape has been acting pretty...Odd lately?" Harry asked. "No. Not really. Why?" Hermione replied. "Well, there's this first year girl I swear looks just like him. Does that seem strange to you?" Harry responded. Hermione looked over to the Slytherin table and just in front was Snape, his back to her. "He's just talking to the Slytherins." Hermione said, turning. "Harry, can you point out the girl?" Ron asked, joining the conversation. He had just broken himself from staring at Hermione. "Yeah, uh, do you see the girl with black hair, braids and brown eyes?" Harry wondered. Hermione looked slightly to the right of Harry's head. "Yes." she replied. "Which one is she?" Ron asked. Hermione took Ron's head by his chin an maneuvered it to the same direction she was looking in. "Oh." Ron mouthed. "She looks a lot like him. You see it too, right?" Harry questioned. "Guess so." Ron and Hermione synchronized.

After a few minutes of wondering on this new discovery, the sorting had just started. As usual, first years were called up one by one.

But one name stood out.

"Siniva Snape." Professor McGonagall called.

The young girl whom Harry had pointed out earlier walked slowly to the front of the Great Hall and sat. "Slytherin!" the Sorting Hat proclaimed, upon being placed on Siniva's head. Siniva slipped easily off the stool and walked over to the Slytherin table. She sat and introduced herself to a few of her new peers.

"Dad, can I ask you something?" Siniva wondered. "Of course." Snape replied,sitting to face her. "Do you think I'll be accepted here?" Siniva asked. "Of course I think so." Snape replied. "But what if people make fun of me? What if they talk badly about me, dad? What are you going to do then?" Siniva continued. "You just let me worry about that. I know what I'm doing." Snape replied. "Ok dad. Thanks." Siniva said, hugging him. "You're welcome. Now go to bed, or I'll have to take your books." Snape said. "Alright. Goodnight dad." Siniva replied. She hugged Snape again and left the room.
