" Look at me! " She called.
The Camera was flashing light and taking instant photos for the six years old girl. Her silky Black hair ruffled against the air as she ran wildly over the carpet of the magnificent yellow daisies, under the bright sun of May.
The little one bent over and collected a few flowers, squeezing two bunches at her both hands now.
" That's so many flowers, who's the lucky one, Bella? " A tall figure showed up, bending over and seemed to focus on the same spot she was exploring.
" One for our house and one for you, uncle Severus " Bella said as she handed him one of the bunches.
Severus carried her, grinning and placing a small kiss over her head. Standing to his full height, dusting the white linen dress she was wearing.
Looking at the endless sea of yellow flowers before him, a valley in the south where no muggle or wizard stepped a foot into. The sky was clear and finally April Monsoon storms calmed and the clouds vanished away, allowing the warmth to visit England again.
He went to join William Bulstrode, his long life friend over the picnic table as he used to every other weekend.
A flash of Camera shutter at his eyes, just as he was going slowly down the grass hill.
" Caught some good things today!" Liza Bulstrode said as she accompanied her Husband's friend too.
" About time! I just prepared snacks " William proudly introduced a plate of toasted bread with Strawberry marmalade filling and a jar of peanut butter beside it.
Bella happily put the bunch she collected at the glass of water, allowing the roots to fully submerged, Severus wandlessely waved his hands at the flowers and small sparks flew from them. Bella looked at him in awe.
" This is to keep them fresh, " He said to her.
" How's old Albus? Still not allowing you to take the Dark Arts posts? " William asked, knowing that Snape's narrow social circle only consists of Professor Albus Dumbeldore, Professor Mcgonaglle and Lucious Malfoy, so he asked about the most important one.
" And always will, " He sighed. Sipping the tea, thinking of how great achievements he would have been doing if he was a defense teacher.
" Why don't you join Drumstrang, Severus?" Liza Bulstrode joined the conversation, " Mark and Richard are there as you know, we have a good connection that would certainly join you there as the best defense against the dark arts teacher" She said as her husband nodded.
" I can't leave Britain " He simply said, looking at little Bella who was now waving at the vase as though bewitching it.
