Chapter 3
They landed a few seconds later outside I large gothic style mansion. Brianna looked in awe at the home it was perfect.
"Do you like it." her aunt ask.
"I love it. It's beautiful." she told her then turned towards her uncle.
"Are you serious about who my father is." she ask him.
"Yes I wouldn't lie about something like that." he told her walking towards the house.
"I know I can tell your not. It's just amazing so un believable." she said and he stopped.
"What do you mean you can tell I'm not lying." he ask.
"Oh I can always tell when someone is lying to me. I can also scan peoples thoughts easily but no one can get into mine." she told him shrugging again.
"Another trait you got from your father he will be so proud." Lucius said before opening the front door.
Brianna walked in and she couldn't believe what she saw. She didn't think the inside could be as beautiful as the out but she was wrong. It was decorated with the most expensive things money could buy and every room they passed was huge.
"Wow." she whispered looking around. A popping sound broke her out of her gawking.
"Master, Mistress can Trixy help you." the house elf ask bowing.
"Trixy this is Brianna LeStrange she will be living here from now on you are to treat her as you do us. Please take her things upstairs." Narcissa said un shrinking her stuff and handing it to the elf who just bowed and popped back out.
Brianna turned when she heard running on the stairs and looked up to see a blonde boy that was the spitting image of Lucius coming towards them.
"Mother, Father your back." he said once he was down the stairs.
"Yes Draco this is your cousin Brianna. Bree honey this is Draco." Narcissa told her and she nodded giving her cousin a hug.
"Wow you do look a lot like Auntie Bella." Draco told her looking her up and down.
"And you look just like Uncle Lucius." Bree said raising one eyebrow and putting her hands on her hips making everyone laugh.
"Yup defiantly a part of this family. Come on I'll show you around." Draco said slinging an arm around her shoulder but pulled back when Nyx hissed.
"You have a snake around your neck you know." he told her.
"Duh. This is Nyx." she said then she spoke to Nyx causing Draco to gasp.
"What." Bree ask at the look of shock on his face.
"You.. You a parseltongue." he ask.
"Oh yeah I am." she said like it was nothing.
"Wow this is great." he said pulling her up the stairs.
It took Draco over an hour to show Bree the whole manor and Bree was impressed to say the least. She couldn't wait to read the books in the library or fly a broom out back in the garden.
"This is your room. It will decorate itself when you walk in." Draco said pushing open the door. As soon as Brianna walked in and the room changed. The bed was drabbed in black silk as well as the windows. The painting on the wall changed from white to dark green. She loved it.
"Nice." Draco said looking around. He showed her the bathroom and closet as well as her balcony that overlooked the front yard.
"My room is next door and mother and fathers is across the hall. Dinner is in a hour and we dress nice. Mother says there's some clothes in the closet you can wear until she takes you shopping. I guess I'll leave so you can get un packed oh and you can use magic here there's no trace on this house father made sure of that." Draco told her as he left.
She took out her wand and swished it around watching as everything in her trunk unpacked it self. The clothes went in the closet and the books on the self. Bathroom stuff flew into in cabinets. Brianna smiled then plopped down on the huge plush bed.
"This is the life." she said to herself. After a few minutes she decided to shower for dinner. She felt dirty from being in that muggle house and wanted to start life out here fresh and clean.
After her shower she magically dried her hair and fixed it to hang in loose waves down her back. The difference in her hair and her mothers was the texture. Her mothers was curly and un manageable based on the pictures she saw Brianna's hair was soft, still thick but straighter and easier to deal with. She applied her dark eye make up and lip gloss then when to the closet. She found a little black dress and slipped it on. It magically changed to fit her and she slipped on black heels. Once she looked in the mirror she smiled. She looked so much better. A knock at the door drew away her attention. She pocketed her wand and threw open the door. Draco was on the other side looking as dashing as he did before.
"You look much better." he said looking at her clothes.
"Thanks Cuz." she told him taking his arm as he lead her to dinner.
"Mother and Father have a friend over for dinner. He is my godfather and Potions Professor at Hogwarts. He's also head of my house Slytherin which I'm sure you'll be sorted into since both your parents were in there." he told her as they walked down the steps.
"You know who my father is." she ask stopping.
"Yes mother and father told me. But I'm not going to tell anyone so don't worry. My Lady." she joked and she smacked him in the arm.
"I already know too. Your father told me. So this teacher is he nice." she ask as they started walking again.
"He is to me and the other Slytherins but not so much the other students most everyone thinks he's really mean. I'll let you read my copy of Hogwarts A History so you know all about it before you go." he told her and she nodded her head as he opened the door to the dinning room.
"There you are." Narcissa said as they entered. Brianna kissed her Aunt and Uncle on the cheek before sitting down next to Draco. She looked up and locked eyes with a man she never met. He had dark hair that feel down to his shoulders and almost black eyes. She could tell he was a dark wizard like her Uncle. He was pale and tall and wearing black robes that looked to be hiding a muscular build. All in all Brianna like what she saw. She always was attracted to older darker looking men. Brianna was now glad no one could read her thoughts.
She held down her blush and smiled at the man who was apprising her from across the table.
"Severus this is Brianna. Bree this is our good friend Severus Snape. He will be your Potions Professor at Hogwarts." Narcissa said from the head of the table.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Professor." Brianna told him. He inclined his head towards her and smiled a little.
"It's a pleasure to meet you as well Miss LeStrange but outside Hogwarts like Draco you can call me Severus." he told her in a deep silky smooth voice that had her suppressing a shiver.
"Severus than. And you can call me Brianna." she said before turning to talk to Draco who started telling her all about Hogwarts and how all other houses were rubbish and how Harry Potter was the golden boy and his two friends he couldn't stand.
Brianna glanced over towards Severus from time to time to see him talking with Lucius and Narcissa about something. But she caught him looking at her too which made her smirk.
Severus had a hard time not staring at Brianna from the moment she walked in. She was beautiful far more than any other women he had every seen. Even Lily Evans who was a friend of his in school Harry Potters mother. He had thought he was in love with her at one time but realized after she betrayed him to James Potter he finally saw it was only sibling love a nothing more. But Brianna did look a lot like her mother just better and she radiated dark power. She had the best of her parents in her even at the age of 15. She would be a heartbreaker at Hogwarts and for some reason that made him feel slightly jealous. He tried breaching her mind but it was shut tight. Lucius told him the rare gifts she had. Talking to snakes and Leglimens and Occlumens plus she could already apperate she was very intelligent and bound to be in Slytherin. He keep stealing glances at her through out the meal and caught her looking as well which made him want to smile. Oh god. He thought to himself. I am attracted to the dark lords daughter who is young enough to be my daughter. I am so screwed.
"Draco, Brianna I have a surprise." Lucius said after dinner was over.
"What is father." Draco ask looking suspicious.
"The Quidditch world cup is happening before you go to Hogwarts and the minister has given me tickets in the Ministers box for us to attend. Severus will be attending as well." he told them.
"Seriously that's great." Draco said barley containing the urge to jump up and down like a girl.
"Yeah it sounds like fun. Thanks Uncle." Bree said a little more dignified. Lucius just nodded at them smirking at his son's face before going into the study with the adults.
"Come on Draco." Brianna said pulling her cousin out of the room.
"Can you believe it Bree. Were going to the world cup. Yeah." he said jumping onto his bed.
"Your such a girl Draco." she told him rolling her eyes plopping down in a chair in his room.
"How are you not more excited about this." he ask her looking at her like she was crazy.
"I am I just obviously know how to contain my emotions better than you." she said flipping through his copy of Hogwarts A History.
"Whatever. So what did you think about Severus." he ask her.
"He seems great." she said blushing slightly before covering it up but Draco noticed.
"You like him don't you." he ask.
"No of course not. don't be silly." she said looking hard at the page she was reading.
"Um hum. Whatever you say Cuz." he said before flooing his friends about the world cup. Bree went back into her room to read for the night. Dreaming of dark eyes and dark haired wizard.
