His doe, father's lioness(Severus Snape love story)

Gilderoy

My first school year was interesting, I only wondered what will happen next time. I opened the door to my home with a spare key and put my stuff away.

'Mother, I'm home', I called. There was no reply. I went to the living room and saw a wooden stick. I laughed a little and took it, twisting it in my hand. 'Mother'. I went outside. 'Mother'. I quickly turned around and blocked her stick with mine.

'Good, always keep your eyes and ears peeled'. I rolled my eyes.

'Mother, why do you always do this'?

'Practice'.

'For what'? It was kinda like sword fighting but with sticks. 'I got magic'.

'Don't we all but what if you don't have your wand'?

'Ungaurd'! We started to fight. Father wasn't home so we were all in the clear.

'I want to show you something, so I surrender'. I laughed at her. My mother was always so joyful when my father wasn't around.

We bowed to each other and put the sticks down and went outside. She taught me everything to defend myself, even a little bit of karate.

'You wanna drive'?

'What? I'm not even old enough, mother'.

'Well, the town is deserted and where we're driving is deserted so it's highly unlikely that we would crush into someone, come on, sit in the driver's seat and I'll tell you what to do'. I rolled my eyes, smiled, and did what I was told.

My mother's car was old but it was a very nice car, a yellow Ford Super De Luxe. It was old but it looked so brand new with its wax coat.

'Okay, so what you have to do is very hard, put the key in and turn it'. I laughed and did it.

It wasn't long until I got the hang of it. My mother gave me directions and I followed. When I asked her, she said we're going to a town called Spinner's End. It wasn't that far from our house just like half an hour to get there.

'Mother'?

'Yes, fawn'?

'Do you know who Regulus Black is? Some... kid was talking about him at school'.

'Well, he was a pure-blood and younger brother to Sirius Black'.

'The guy that went to Azkaban'?

'Yes, he was a death eater, a follower of you-know-who but in the end, he decided that he didn't want to serve you-know-who anymore, he died at a very young age of 18'.

'Oh, did he get to have any children'?

'After Hogwarts, he married his girlfriend and had a daughter... born on January the 6th, 1978'. I laughed a little.

'That's weird, that's my birthday'. My mother was silent. I looked at her quickly and directed my attention back to the road. 'Are you saying- you can't be serious'.

'Oh but I am, you're the daughter of Regulus Black'.

'So O'Neil is not really my name'?

'No, after your father died, a man came to me for comfort, that was him, stop here'.

I pulled over, got out of the car and followed where my mother was going. It was more toward the park.

'Wait, mother, does it mean your a...' She sighed.

'I am but he forced me into it'.

'What? Father forced you to be a death eater too'?

'No, not him, you-know-who'.
