>Third Person<
Sarah was not at dinner since she wasn't hungry, and neither was Snape. She was sitting by a window. She stared at the night sky, wondering what happiness a person could've been feeling right now, while she felt so lonely.... She was about to go and lie down when she heared a tap on her window. She stared back and saw Midnight perched there, holding a bit of parchement. She opened the window and Midnight flew around her as though he missied her. He landed on a place where Silver was sitting. Sarah took the letter of his beak and read the letter.

She stared at the clock seeing it was already 6:45pm. Then looking back at the window, she grabbed her black cloak. She crept out and peeked at the tree, seeing her father pacing around. He looked up and saw someone looking, Sarah quickly hid and held her breath. "I saw you, Sarah. No need to hide" Snape said, Sarah went out and walked to him sheepishly. "You bet at least your own life just to prove them I wasn't any of those words they said?", she nodded shortly. "Look at me..." Snape said, making her look at him. "Dad, you weren't an inch to what they said. I just wanted to prove that you weren't the person they were thinking of. To me, you're great, awesome, caring and kind. And I don't care of what the bloody hell they think." Sarah said, finally calming down. "I'm sorry Sarah. For everything"

"What do you mean everything?" Sarah asked confused. "For leaving you for 11 years to live by your own"

"Dad, why did you exactly leave me?"

"You want to know the truth."

"Of course."

Snape sighed deeply and cleared his throat. He had to tell everything. Here it goes...

"Oh dear. Sarah... Those 11 years. Those 11 painful years, I was being hunted down. All of the Ministry, Death Eaters, everyone. And there you were. Just so gentle, innocent, so little... I cannot just let your life be risked because of me. Well, I know you needed a home, so I gave you temporiraly to Matthew and Joanne. I always thought of what you were doing. I really did. I just wanted to take you and raise you like a normal child, but things are complicated Sarah. I remembered how I wanted to see you how you've grown up. I missed you, Sarah. And this was the only thing that kept my spirit up, was this..."

He handed Sarah the picture in the locket. It was a little girl in the picture waving. She smiled, and looked up to her father. "I couldn't imagine myself either this cute... I wonder what happened to me" she said laughing, "well I believe you're still beautiful." He told her making her laugh more. "So you forgive me for my behaviour earlier?" he asked, "haven't I already?" She said making him chuckle. Snape's smile was so rare and precious. "Well, you want to keep it? Here, put it in here-"
"No, I want you to keep it, dad."
"Alright, well you have to go. You're friends will wonder where you are-"
"They know when I'm gone meaning I'm with you."
"Alright, but only for a couple of minutes, you'll catch a cold in this weather."
They both sat each side of the tree, gazing the sky. "Dad you never told me a lot about yourself. And well, you know a lot about me. Why don't you say somethings?" Sarah asked. Snape looked amused. "Well, I'm a half-blood. Your grandfather was a muggle while your grandmother was a witch. I was a Slytherin here at Hogwarts. I use to fancy dark arts but teached Potions instead. I met Harry Potter, father of Albus Potter. His mother Lily-

"Was your bestfriend. But she married... The Potter boy?"

"Call him James."

"I still hate him that he bullied you, you know."

"That was the past."

"Alright"

"You should better go..."

"Okay. Goodnight dad."

"Goodnight Sarah..."

And both went seperate ways. It wasn't really hard for them to communicate, but they don't get to see each other each and every 4 hours or something. "I'm back." Sarah said, opening the portrait door. "Been with your dad weren't you?" Rose asked, "I knew you know."

"Let's go to the dorm. It's a weekday, we might get late tomorrow" Rose said and went up the stairs. Before she went to sleep, she opened her trunk and got her S & G-cleff necklace and wore it around her neck. She touched it and thought it glowed. She looked at it, but maybe it was her imagination. Then she started to get tired, and then...💤
