"I uh... I don't know?" I tried to seem convincing. "Well there was a letter with it too," George handed me the letter. "Oh. Well uh..."

"You don't have to explain anything. Just open the box, I'm dyinggg!" Ginny seemed pretty excited for me to open it. I was too. I didn't know that Draco was gonna send me something. And how did he know I was at the Weasley's?

I untied the little black tie on the box and opened it. In the box there was a golden ring with a dark green stone. "That is gorgeous!!" Ginny leaned closer to me and looked at the ring with wide eyes.

I put it on and it fit perfectly. Ugh. This made me miss Draco even more. This was such a sweet little gift. I love it. The colours, the shape, everything is perfect.

"Is this from Draco Malfoy?" Ginny asked not taking her eyes off of the ring. "Yes," I said smilingly looking at the ring. How did he know I was here?

"Why is Malfoy sending you a present?" Ron asked looking at the ring too. "Uh..." do I tell them? "Are you dating Malfoy?" Ron asked and everyone got quiet and turned their heads at me.

"No, we're just good friends," I said. I didn't want to explain everything to them. It wasn't a really good time. "Well I need to befriend Draco, might get a beautiful ring too," Ginny joked.

"Only thing stopping you is that Malfoys hate Weasleys," Ron mumbled. "No they don't!" I said quickly, but to be honest I wasn't sure. I only knew Draco and he just didn't like the trio.

"Okay okay, open the other little box. This one's fro- oh, that one is from Snape," George said quietly looking at the letter with it. "Professor Snape?" Mr Weasley seemed surprised. "Yeah..." George said.

I guess they hadn't told their parents. Well shit, do I have to do it myself? "I'm not trying to pry on you, but why is a school's teacher sending you a gift?" Percy asked eyeing the box. "Are you...?" He raised his eyebrows at me.

"No!!" All the Weasleys that were going to school yelled the same time. Percy jumped back a little not expecting that. "When I went to Hogwarts, Snape was never nice," Charlie said.

"Well, it's not really Y/n's choice," Harry mumbled. "What isn't?" mr Weasley was looking at everyone confused. "He's my dad," I said.

Everyone seemed super surprised. Damn, why are you jumping, you knew already, I thought looking at the Weasleys I go to school with.

"Dad? Severus has a kid?" Mr Weasley looked at his wife even more confused. "Yeah," I smiled weakly.

"Wait, Professor Snape is your dad? Why do you live with muggles then?" Bill asked looking closer at the letter from him in George's hands. "I uh," I don't even know it myself really well. He just said it's better for me. What do I say?

"I'm living with my godparents," I said in hopes that someone changes the subject and we could just stop that.

"Why don't you live with Severus?" Mrs Weasley asked putting her arm around my shoulders. "It's all pretty new, just um, you know? And I would prefer living with Lucy and Ronald," I said.
