Chapter 1

Father is cretin I will be getting my invitation to Hogwarts soon. I, on the other hand, don't know. My father is Severus Snape. He is the potions master at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I was raised at Hogwarts. My favorite professor is Dumbledore. Dumbledore is my godfather and I love him. He is the head master at Hogwarts. Hagrid is my best friend. Hagrid is the grounds keeper at Hogwarts. Everyone I have ever known was either attended Hogwarts or works at Hogwarts. Well except Sophie she was also a professor's daughter. But now I hope to make friends my own age, because I will attend.

"Sonia Hurry up you'll miss meeting everyone at the station!" I heard my father yell at my door. "Give me one second will you!" I yelled back. After fixing my tie I ran out the door just barely missing Father. "Sonia, your shoes." He said. He knelt down and tied them for me. "Love you bye!" I said running out the door to our privet quarters. T raced to the station to arrive there before the train did. "Hey Hagrid." I said as I ran past him. I turned around and stopped right in front of him. "Excided are ya?" He asked. "Why wouldn't I be?" As normal he just laughed. The train came to a sudden stop. Slowly students came out. The students who were already sorted in either Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, of Slytherin went to the carriages. Everyone else was new and came up to Hagrid who was shouting "Firs' years this way!" He was always happy when the first years came. "Alright there Harry?" I didn't know who harry was, but Hagrid was tall enough to see who he was talking to. "Follow me" he said and we all followed him to the boats. "No mor'n four to a boat!" he ordered. I was forced on a boat with three boys: Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle. Crabbe and Goyle smelled like they ate the whole entire trolley I hear the older kids talk about. When we stopped Hagrid asked some boy about some toad and he was excided. Hagrid walked up to the door to the entrance three times. When it swung open I saw Professor McGonagall standing there looking more stern than ever. "The firs' years professor McGonagall." He announced. "Thank you Hagrid I'll take them from here." She said. She led us right to the entrance hall. I looked around at the others and laughed. Their faces were filled with astonishment. McGonagall then gave her usual speech. She told us about the order of things, the sorting, the houses, and being quite while she is gone. I knew that I would get Slytherin. Father would be so proud if I did. Several people behind me screamed. I turned around and saw all the ghosts. And as usual they were arguing. When they finally noticed us they started interrogating us, luckily Professor McGonagall stopped them. She led us in and the hat sang. "Okay when I call out your name you will step up and I will place the sorting hat on your head and you will be sorted into your house." She said. She started shouting out names then "Potter, Harry" she shouted. This was the Harry Potter. It took quite some time for the hat to shout "Gryffindor!" "Snape, Sonia!" She shouted. I stepped forward smiling broadly. "Hmm, a Snape. You would do good I Gryffindor. Yes that's good" I could hear it whisper in my head. "Slytherin!" I shouted sounding like the hat. My lips didn't even move. I turned around to look at my father and saw only a small smile on his lips. I looked at my friend and saw her smiling at me. She was so funny at times even though she was a year younger she was like a 5 year old. I went and sat down at the front of the table trying to stay away from the fat trolley boys. I leaned over the side of the table and waved at the boy everyone says is Harry Potter. I looked back up and smiled at professor Dumbledore and his daughter known as professor Dumbledore or as Professor Angle. Dumbledore slowly stood up. He had a large grin from ear to ear. "Welcome! To a new year at Hogwarts! Before we begin our banquet, I would like to say a few words. And here they are: Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak! Thank you!" Is started laughing. He always made me laugh weather he was serious or not? After we all finished eating we all started singing 'Hogwarts' with Dumbledore's ribbon high in the air. And as usual the Weasley twins finished last. The Weasley twins didn't like me very much. I'm guessing it's because of my father, but nobody really liked him. "Alright, first year Slytherins this way!" Shouted one of the prefects. We all stood up and started to follow. "Sonia." I felt a hand on my shoulder. When I turned around I saw my father. "Come walk with me." So I followed him. He kept walking not saying a word. He led me to our own chambers, specifically my room. He led me to my old bed and sat me down on my old chair that was in front of my bed. He took one of my hands. "Sonia, I don't know if I want you to stay in the Slytherin dorm. You would be safer and warmer if you stayed here." Dad said.

"At some time, Dad, I will need to experience these things for myself. If I'm going to make any friends, I need to experience these things. It's not goodbye forever. You'll probably stop by while I'm asleep. Your ring opens every Slytherin door anyways."

"How do you know about that?"

"I'm not 3 I've lived here my whole life I know things."

"Ha. Okay, you can have my trunks. It has an S.S. on it for-"

"Severus Snape!"

"Or Sonia Snape. I'll see you in the morning. Scourgify." My stuff automatically packed themselves into my new trunks."Love you dad."I said and kissed him on the cheek. I grabbed my new trunks and left leaving him where he knelt.

Sonia-

I made my way to the Slytherin common room using the quickest way I knew. I was strong enough now to carry the trunks without them touching the floor. "Sonia!" I heard one someone shout at me. I turned around and saw Sophie. She was my favorite play mate. She too lived at Hogwarts with her mother professor Black. "Can I run with you?" she asked. "Okay. Race ya." I said together we raced to the Slytherin dorms, and I won. "I'll miss hanging out with you. Now I'll be all alone." She said with a sad smile.

"Don't worry I'll still see you maybe we can die my dad's hair pink again." I said trying to comfort her. She was my cousin twice removed. Her mom was my godfather's daughter.

"I'd like that. Bye Sonia."

"Bye Sophie" I went inside. I'd miss her being there. We used to have so much fun together. Suddenly the cold in the room hit me. It was freezing in there. Cold and hard. I made my way to my new room. It was like my old room but very green and very cold. I eventually fell asleep.

SNAPE-

I was doing my normal rounds around the Slytherin dormitory. Ever since the beginning of my career here after Slughorn retired and I would hand out blankets the first few nights. I remembered how cold it was and it only got colder. I stopped at each room and offered blankets. I stopped at Sonia's room last knowing I would be there the longest. When I entered the room I could see a small lump on the bed that was shaking like a leaf. The small lump was Sonia curled up in a ball. I sat down next to her on her bed, and draped several blankets over her. I sat with her till she warmed up and loosened. She grew up fast. I was amazed at how much she was like her mother. I gave her a small kiss on her cheek and left. "Professor Snape? What are you doing down here." I heard a voice ask behind me. I spun around and saw Draco Malfoy sitting on one of the chairs reading a book. "I am handing out blankets. Care for one?" I asked. "No thank you Professor." He said, too distracted by his book to even look up. I walked out of the Slytherin dorms to go back to my chambers. "Hi Professor!" I heard behind me. I turned around and saw Sophie, Angel black's little girl she was a year younger than my own daughter but as hyper at all times as a toddler. "Sophie? What are you doing out of bed? Does your mom know you're here?"

"Umm… no but I'm allowed out I'm not a student. Plus I was racing Sonia. Now I'm going to talk to you. Then I'm going to go to Hagrid's. Then I'm going to go to grandpa's. Then I have to go to bed. Hopefully I can do that all in an hour. Do you think I can do that all in an hour? Mum say's I probably can't."

"GET BACK HERE YOU IMP!" I heard a failure voice yell. I saw angel running down the hall. Her light blue eyes looked gray in the moonlight. "When did she become an imp, Angel? I always thought she was an angel like you?" I teased her. "She became an imp when she snuck out of bed an hour ago. When she should be sleeping." She said glaring at her daughter. "See if you didn't talk to me so long you could have gotten away." I whispered to Sophie, I loved teasing Angel. When we were still friends I did it a lot more often. She grabbed her daughter's hand. "I have to go Snape." She said coldly and walked away. "Mum? When are we going to see dad?"

"I don't know if we will ever see him." I heard her say. I continued on and passed Sonia's empty room along my way. The next few years will be hard. Especially with Harry Potter coming. He had lily's eyes. Lily, my beautiful lily. I wish Sonia had her eyes.
