Snape's Daughter (Book Two)

Chapter Twenty-Nine : The Truth

Entering the boathouse, Ellia saw her father's body lying on the ground, against a window. There was blood everywhere, Nagini had attacked him. Running to his side, Ellia slung her arms around him.

"Dad," She sobbed into his cloak.

"Ellia," he coughed, causing her to sit up.

"You're still alive?" Ellia smiled, happy her dad was still alive.

"I have given these to Harry as well, but take them. My tears, take them to the penesive. You've always wanted to know who your mother was," Severus coughed. Ellia swabbed the tears with a nearby pebble, before hugging her father.

"I love you dad," she muttered.

"I love you too Ellia Mae Snape, I don't know what I'd do without you. Smile for a change, you look like your mother when you do. Just please don't cry, I'm being re-United with her, with your mother. Don't cry," her father choked, before shutting his eyes. Ellia looked up, seeing her father's face emotionless and empty. He looked at peace, although it broke Ellia to see him like that. Gasping, she sobbed even harder into his chest, before Draco ran in.

"El .. oh my," Draco gasped, kneeling down beside his dead Professor and Ellia.

"He's dead," Ellia muttered.

"Come here El," Draco said, before wrapping his arms securely around Ellia. Severus Snape was dead.

Running to the penesive, Ellia dropped the pebble in the penesive.

"Are you sure you want to do this Ellia?" Draco asked Ellia, placing a hand on her shoulder.

"I'm sure Draco, I need to know who my mother really was," Ellia said.

"Okay, don't take forever," Draco joked, before Ellia dived into the penesive.

Severus stood, his greasy black hair hanging over his emotionless face, watching the blonde girl in front of him. Her eyes dazzled and sparked like the blue sky, and her smile lit up the whole room. It was the first time Severus ever felt anything good towards a person since Lily, yet she's married James. She was history.

"Hello," The girl spoke, smiling at Severus.

"Hello, I'm Severus. Severus Snape," Severus said, shaking her hand.

"Annailia Dumbledore, pleased to meet you," Annailia said, her eyes twinkling. Dumbledore?

"It's nice to meet you too," Severus said, inspecting the man beside her. He knew exactly who it was.

"Remus," Severus snarled.

"Severus my old friend, it seems I haven't seen you since Hogwarts," Remus said, smirking.

"I see you and my granddaughter are getting along great Severus," Albus said, greeting Severus and Annailia at Diagon Alley.

"Yes Albus, she's very unique," Severus said, smiling for once, whilst holding Annailia's petite hand.

"And Severus is highly advanced at potion making, it's amazing to see him do what he enjoys the most," Annailia said.

"Except from seeing you of course," Severus smiled at Annailia.

"It's good to see you too happy, but Severus I'm glad I walked into you actually. Annailia, why don't you go find a table at the Leaky Cauldron," Albus suggested to Annailia, before she skipped off.

"What is the news Albus?" Severus questioned him.

"Antonio Dolohov and Patrick Parkinson are after you, they believe you betrayed Voldemort. You are in immediate danger," Albus warned Severus.
