"Bye guys!" Sarah shouted as each of the 3rd years of Gryffindor were grabbing their trunks and heading downstairs to the Great Hall. She was already 13 years old, turning 14 on Febuary 21st (😏, Also I think I messed up her age, wait a minute). It was the last day of school, and Sarah got top marks on her grades, especially Potions. After McGonagall gave her speech, everybody went to the place where the Hogwarts Express was parked.
"Bye!" everybody shouted at one another as each kid stepped in. "Care to join me, Sarah?" A silky voice asked from behind. Severus stood there with a smirk on his face, Sarah copied him as he gave a low chuckle. "Can I later? I'd like to stay with my friends..." she said nervously, to her surprise, he nodded and left them.
"Come on! We need to find a compartment before we run out! Last year, Raven told me that they had to stand through the hallway! Come on!" Albus said and pulled Sarah and Rose to a empty one. They settled down, and Sarah let Silver out of her cage, flying to her lap and cooing in her chest. "So are you still staying at that house with your uncle and aunt?" Rose asked, Sarah shook her head.
"Nope. I'm staying with dad." she told them, making them wide eye. "Really? W-W-With him?" Albus stuttered, she looked at him in confusion. "He isn't going to kill me, Albus! He's my dad!" Sarah exclaimed, Silver suddenly woke up and flew to her cage. "See." she said reffering to the scared Silver atop of Sarah's trunk shivering.
"So, what're your plans for this summer?" Sarah asked the both of them, but someone opened the compartment door. "Hey guys, mind if I stay? Malfoy's here too, saying he can't find Parkinson or Bullstrode." Mia said as she sat down . Scorpius appeared and sat down beside Rose and smiled at her sheepishly. "Come on guys, we already know." Mia said pushing Rose slightly in the shoulder. "Know what?!" Scorpius exclaimed quickly, everybody turned to look at him with a really? expression.
"About you and Rose, of course!" Mia said, smiling at them mischieviously. "Now, now, Mia. Calm down, you're scaring Rose again" Sarah said and looked at Rose who was panting heavily. "Mom and dad can't know about him! If they know about us..." Rose said in panic and banged her head in the window. "I cannot believe that my cousin is falling for a Malfoy, and that my best friend is the daughter of Snape!" Albus said, Sarah giggled at him making him blush a bit. "Wait, are you blushing, Albus?" Scorpius pointed out, Albus straightend up. "Of course not!" he said and looked away trying to hide his face.
He never wanted to admit, but Sarah was more than a best friend to him. Not like a sister way... But like... A romantic way (comment if you ship it❤️). Sarah was very kind and sweet to him ever since the minute he met her. Sarah kinda liked Albus too, smart, funny and kind. But they never told each other, especially Sarah since her father'll become cross if he'll find out. Suddenly the train started to move, "open the window!" Sarah instructed, Rose rolled a lever making the window open. She stuck out and waved at Hagrid, "bye Sara'!" Hagrid shouted, "see you Hagrid!" Sarah shouted back and went in. After an hour of talking, the lady with sweets arrived. "Anything off the trolley dears?" she asked kindly, each of them bought a 2 chocolate frogs and a bottle of butterbeer. "What d'you got?" Rose asked Mia, exchanging cards. They talked for hours when they were all knocked out. It took around hours from Hogwarts to Platform 9 3/4, but Sarah stayed awake. She brought Silver with her and thought to sneak out and move to her father's compartment. As she slipped out, she pranced like a cat toward his, and knocked gently. It revealed Severus, holding a suit case. He let her in and sat down opposite. Sarah wasn't really comfortable and sat down beside him, he flinched at her touch but relaxed. "You alright?" she asked leaning her head on his shoulder, "yes. You?" he asked, she nodded slightly then drifted off to sleep.
It was really nice view on how both of them looked alike, the eyes and tbe hair. Sarah smiled to herself as she slept, her father wasn't like his (Mr. Tobias Snape) all hatred amongst the wizards and witches, not the usual way you think of him. After hours and hours, they passed Scorpius' house... Malfoy Manner. Sarah woke up as lightning struck, letting out a startled squeak. He woke up too and placed an arm around her, Sarah felt safe and slept again. In an hour or two, Severus woke Sarah up as they arrived at the platform. "Hmm?" she groaned, and woke up rubbing her eyes. They came out and Silver on Sarah's shoulder then took their trunks. As Sarah stept out of the train, Albus, Mia, Rose, and Scorpius surprised her with a hug of goodbye.
It was Sarah's first time out on the platform with her dad, and as she turned to Albus, his dad, Harry Potter was startled as he saw Snape. "Professor!" he said and ran up to him happily. "How -"
"That another time, Potter. But I'm glad to see you again..." Severus said and stared to see Ron Weasley, Hermione Weasley, and Ginny Potter all with surprised faces. "I see you have your own spawn now... Quite the student I must say. And might as well add what a... interesting name choice." Severus told Harry who can't stop smiling, but Severus was surprised to see a young girl with Ginny. "Hi Lily!" Sarah said, running to the girl with red hair and green eyes. Harry noticed that Severus was surprised. "Lily?" Severus asked in confusion, "always." Harry teased earning a laugh from the professor. "Professor, meet Lily Luna Potter." Harry introduced as the young girl stepped nearer. "H-H-Hello..." she breathed, the man in front of her looked scary. "I'd expect you to be in my class, Ms. Potter..." but Lily let out a chuckle, there was something about that professor that meets the eye.
As Severus left, Sarah turned to Lily and whispered: "don't worry. He's not gonna hurt you. Trust me, he's pretty great. See ya!" and joined her father.
They both rode the Knight Bus to the ride home, and Severus led Sarah to a weird and dark neighborhood. "This is Spinner's End? Interesting..." she said in amazement then turned her gaze to her father who looked worried.
"Are we going to stay here?" Sarah asked curiously, she didn't sound like a drama queen about the house, but Severus did hate the house, and he was the one living there for his whole life whereas Sarah just saw it right now.
"Nope. We're going to stay at my house down the street. I hate this dunpster." he breathed at the last comment, Sarah heard him and casted him a look of frustation. As he entered the house, Sarah looked from every inch of the building and her jaw dropped as they entered his office whereon he had at least a thousand books. "Wow..." she breathed, Severus looked at her and laughed. "At least I'm telling the truth!" she exclaimed, he reached for his drawers and brought out a bottle of Firewhiskey.
"Dad!" she shouted in annoyance, "it's been a month. I'm gonna collapse if I don't drink this, again. And since when did you care about me when I get drunk?" he told her, Sarah arched an eye brow. "Ever since I entered your office at Hogwarts during first year and found you basically with 8 empty bottles." she answered him confidently, he smirked at her then packed it into his suitcase.
"Come on, we're leaving this place." he told her grabbing by the wrist. "Wait! Can't I see the house of my family right now?" she pleaded, "no. You can explore tomorrow. You're tired, besides you can do whatever you want tomorrow." he replied in a monotone voice and walked out. "Git." she breathed with a laugh then followed him, but catched up as he was picking up speed.
Severus stopped in front of a house that looked quite clean but it was in the usual color... black. "Black robes, black eyes, black hair, black suitcase.... don't tell me now a jet black house!" Sarah said as she tipped each off with her fingers. "But anyways, the dark does show the most brightest and beautiful colors..." she added earning a smile from him.
"Well, aren't you a naughty Slytherin?" he teased, "well, just to tell you that I don't like to sleep in the dungeon. But I don't mind the Dungeon Bat, himself." Sarah joked back and skipped towards the door. "Wait! It's locked -" he said but realized he had his wand. "Never mind. Alohamora." and the door opened revealing a beautiful house. "You are full of surprises dad..." Sarah said and invited herself in the house.
"Well, lets eat dinner and you can knock yourself out at the library and sleep, alright?" Severus said as he clinged onto her arm and brought her to the dining room. He came back with food and both ate happily. Like how Severus predicted, Sarah was all excited about the library. She transformed into a little puppy, running towards the room. She spent hours reading. Until he came to her at 10pm and saw her sleeping in the couch.
"Bugger..." he said with a smile and carried her to her bedroom. He pulled the covers up to her chin and kissed her forehead gently. Before he can exit the room, Sarah whispered: " 'Night." and formed a little smile. "Good night too, Sarah." said Severus and walked to his bedroom.
Severus' bedroom was different from Sarah's. All Slytherin-like and collapsed himself toward the bed. He didn't feel like it to drink some Firewhiskey, but promised himself to drink the next day. A few minutes later he didn't notice that he was already dozing off to sleep...💤
