As I hear my father call for me, I began to dig my head into my soft, luxurious pillow. I enveloped my body in my silk comforter. Ugh. Today was the day. The mail should come and invite me to Hogwarts. I mean I am a sorta full-blooded witch. My mum was Lily Potter. My dad is the almighty Severes Snape. My mother died a short death due to the hands of Voldemort, or he who must not be named. I was given to my dad shortly after my mum gave birth to me because someone named James Potter didn't view me as his child and demanded I go to my real fathers.  

I know. My dad committed adultery. What else is new? But then my dad caught wind of my mum pregnant again. But this time it was with James Potter. And I do speak that name with such hatred. My mum would still be alive if James Potter didn't coerce her into marrying him. we would be a family, me my father and my mum. But anyway, she gave birth to a baby boy and about a year later Voldemort tried to kill him, didn't kill him, but got my mum and her useless thing that she called her husband. At least that's what my dad Told me. My so called brother is supposed to come to Hogwarts this year. And I am not ready to share with him. 

"Serenna? Hon, you've got ah message from Hogwarts," My dad calls from the doorway to my green and black room. That got my attention. Hogwarts? Yes. Finally. I quickly throw off my comforter and throw on my green robe and open the door. I see my dad in his slick black shoulder length hair holding out a letter. I grab the letter and partially close the door. I don't usually act like this to my father, but today was different. I would be accepted into Hogwarts. I tore open the letter and read it out loud.

I turned to my dad. "Has it always been a mile long?"I looked at the list and it went down to my knees. 

"Yeh," He chewed on his tongue as if to stop himself from saying more. I once again looked at this list laid out in front of me. 

"Well. You know what this means." I clapped my hands.  

"Hmm?" My dad looks up from the list as if it were a question. 

"SHOPPING!!" I squealed. I pushed my dad out, closed the door and started getting ready. I put on a green dress with green slip-on shoes, diamond earrings from non other then my father and did my makeup in a blackish green tint. I opened the door and skipped down the stairs where my father was getting ready to put on his shoes. We lived in the wealthiest part of London. Northstead. We also had a lot of money. My dad inherited loads of money when his dad and mum died.

It was raining out so my dad did some spell with a wipe of his wand and we had umbrellas. As we loaded into the car, my dad looks up directions to Hogsmeade on his Magic Laptop and it says we will be there in a minute. my dad  steps on the gas and off we go into the sky with a invisible setting on us so no muggles see us. 

We landed in the car park reserved for Hogsmeade Customers. I got out and went around to see Hogsmeade. "Father, it is so gorgeous out. Care to take a walk before I get my equipment?" I pleaded with puppy dog eyes to my father. It really was gorgeous out. The sun was shinning and it felt like 65 degrees out. 

"O' Right. Let's go." My father said as he started to walk away. I quickly caught up to him. We stopped by the pond and sat on the enchanted bench. 

"Father?" I look out to the lake and see Hogwarts in the distance. It was a faint outlining of the tallest castle. 

"Yeh Dear" My dad answers. He looks down on me, know seeing that I was sad. 

"Will Hogwarts accept me?" I silently looked down. "I mean yeah they did, but will the people there accept me for being your daughter?" By this time I can feel tears weld up in my eyes. 

"Dear, you don't have to worry about that. I put a different persona when in front of students. That doesn't make me mean. I love you and it's bloody sad if anyone thinks Iyent love you," My father says and kisses my forehead. I hug him tightly. 

"What if I don't get Slytherin? You know I really want it with all my heart." I look ahead at the school im about to go to. 

"That's some bloody nonsense. I was in it and you should be in it to. But if the hat does decide to put you in enother house, I shall still love you the same." He runs his hand on my back trying to soothe me. "I think you'd fit in with Hufflepuff because you are honest and trustworthy. Slytherin because you have so much pride and ambition. Gryffindor, because your daring and courageous. And I don't think Ravenclaw would be a good match fo yah. But yah are accepting of yeeee all people. So don't yah worry. The sorting Hat puts you in the right home. even if its not Slytherin. I promise." 

With that being said, I hugged my dad, wiped my eyes and stood up. I motioned for him to come.  We walked the pathway up to the town square. Though I don't get why they call it town square when its not really a town. 

I saw a big giant person with a boy with a lightning strike on his forehead. He looks funny to me.  a girl with muggle parents. that must be Hermoine Granger. With her off red hair. Yuck. 

I turned around to see Ollivander's Wand Shop. I grabbed a hold of my dad's hand and we go into Ollivander's. 

"Ahhh Professor Snape. What pleasure. Did you forget where you placed yuh want again mate?" He chuckled at him. When he saw fathers face he looked down and spotted me. "Ahh and who do we have here?"

"My daughter. Try any funny business with her and you are dead," Snape warned him. I saw Ollivander crouch down. Jeez. I didn't know my dad had this affect on people. Especially owners of the stores who we are shopping from. 

"Ok. Matey, what is yuh name?" He asked me. 

"Serenna Snape. What's yuhs?" I asked him trying to ease the tension that my father had created. 

"My name is Garrick Ollivander, my dear. Ok lets get to it. The wand picks the witch or wizard. The witch/wizard doesn't pick the wand. Lets go with...." He was browsing through the shelving. "Ahhh. This one. It is made of holly wood. Laced with dragon heartstring, 13 inches, and really flexible." He handed me the wand and I flicked my hand and I started feeling a warm feeling inside and the outside showed that it chose me. My first try! Just like my dad. 

"Ahhh. Like father like daughter. Holly is one of the rarer kinds of wand woods; traditionally considered protective, it works most happily for those who may need help overcoming a tendency to anger and impetuosity. Wood from Holly trees has magical healing properties and is thought to repel evil. Holly people make good leaders and thoughtful, loving and effective counsellors. Holly people should use their understanding of the dark, hidden side of humanity to guide others in their time of need. Dragon Heartsting wands are the most powerful wands ever. Take very good care of this wand and it will take very good care of you. Not that you need any care with a father like him, but this wand is only yuhs. No one else's. Even if they take it away, it will self destruct in their hands and be back in yuhs within seconds fully healed." 

I left the store as soon as someone with very blonde hair and what appeared to be his father stepped in. My dad talked to his dad for a little bit. I went out of the store when he did. Much to my dismay, two people started to walk up. they looked to be 15-17. 

"Ahh who do we have here?" One of the guys asked. 

"Fresh Meat." The other said I slowly walked backwards and they followed me. 

"Get away from me!" I hissed at them. 

"Oh. And a little spunk. Shouldn't be that easy to tame yuh little shit," the first one said. They laughed amongst themselves. Soon enough they were surrounding me. That was until someone stepped in front of me pushing me back against the wall and wiped out his wand. 

"Yuh will not touch her. Yuh here me? Or else I will see to it that you are expelled for harassing a 1st year student, my daughter, Alexander Flinchel and Wallace Griffith." He said their last names with so much haste and hatred. 

The one person whispered to me, "I will get you when your little daddy isn't around." They laughed and walked away. 

My dad grabbed my elbow and we went where no one else was. "Did they touch you? Hurt you?" I shook my head. "good. lets go grab yuh other stuff and get out of here." 

The following days went by fast. I forgot about the boys and the trip to Hogsmeade all together. I just played on my iPod and walked with my father around the block everyday. Much to my liking, It was today that id start at my first year at Hogwarts. Today I'd get sorted out. My father dropped me off at the Hogwarts train and flown to Hogwarts with his broom. All students had to take the train. It was absurd. On the train I met some people and I found out what that boy who's hair was bleached blondes name was. Draco Malfoy. What kinda name is that? It sounds like someone named him when they were mad as hell. 

We got to the castle in due time and we were waiting outside of the Great Hall dining room. 

"Hello Students. I am Professor McGonagall. I am transfiguration professor. Also the Deputy Headmistress. Here you will get sorted into houses. These houses will last until your 8th year at Hogwarts. You can't switch out of them. Come Come. Everyone is waiting for you guys so they can eat," She leads us into this big room where my dad was sitting on the stand where the professors sat with the Head of the school. I smiled at him and he smiled back. As I made my way up to the front, everyones eyes where on either me or the weird one with the lighting strike on his head. 

"When I call your name, you shall come forth and I shall place the sorting hat on your head. and you will be sorted into your houses...." Mcgonagall bellowed for all of us to hear. "Hermoine Granger?" When she started saying names I zoned out. 

Here it is. Here is my chance to make Slytherin. Think Slytherin thoughts. Think Slytherin thoughts. Great now im talking to myself. What has become of me? 

"Serenna Snape!" Mcgonagalls voice took me out of my thoughts. "Serenna Snape?" I looked to my dad scared out of my mind, who gave me a nod. I came forward to the stand while McGonagall put the sorting hat on my head. 

Everyone had their mouths wide open when she had called my name. Some of them looked at me then my dad then me again with their mouths open. 

"Ahh Serenna Snape. Another Snape. You are your fathers daughter. Which house shall I put you in? Your cunning and ambitious. You could fit in with Slytherin. But then again you could fit in Gryffindor because your daring and courageous." I was crossing my fingers when the sorting hat was speaking. I really want Slytherin. "And also Hufflepuff. Your loyal and trustworthy, and a hard worker. Tsk tsk Tsk...." 

I looked to my dad with the most deer in headlights look. 

"HUFFLEPUFF!!" A tear slid down my eye. Fuck. God Damn it. Why?????
