"What happened?" Severus asked when he saw Scilla buried in Remus' arms.

"Boggart." Remus mouthed.

Severus picked the raven haired girl with ease and went to sit on the sofa in Remus' office. Gently caressing her back.

A black dog came bounding in a minute later. Nuzzling his snout on the girl's side. Sirius whined, which earned a knuckle on the head by Remus. Sirius lay down on the floor, covering his head with his front paws.

Scilla giggled a little bit at her papa's antics, and snuggle even further into her dad's hug.

"I'm fine, Papa. I'm still mad at you by the way."

Sirius snorts and licked her cheeks, which make her scrunched her face in disgust.

Sirius was with Severus earlier. Bothering the 5th year Gryffindor and Slytherin in their potion class. At times preventing the students who were about to make a mistake that could blow up the potion classroom. Severus merely ignored the black dog, unless he went too far with his jokes.

That's when Draco came in and whispered something in Severus' ear. Severus immediately wrap up the class and end the class early. Giving a long report as their homework.

Sirius nudged his foot and tilted his head in confusion. Severus mouthed 'Scilla' and Sirius nodded. He pushed Severus leg towards the door with his head, indicating to go ahead, while he make sure all of the students leave the classroom.

As much as he wishes to run there first, he knew Severus is who Scilla needed. He loves his daughter and he knew Scilla love him as much, but even he know that Scilla and Severus have a bond that ran deeper. After all, it was Severus who got her out of that hell hole where her relatives lived.

Once all of the students left, he casts a quick Colloportus in his Animagus form thanks to Scilla who taught him, before sprinting away to the DADA professor office.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Severus asked in which Scilla shook her head no.

She loved her family in this life, but some things are better left unsaid. She doesn't want to ever involve her loved ones in her more serious problem.

This isn't Scilla problem. This is Frida problem. This is her past life problem. So she doesn't want them to get involved in something she has tried so hard to bury.

Fortunately, Severus, Sirius, and Remus are understanding. They didn't push her to talk about it. They're just there, staying to reassure her that they are there for her.

That night, Scilla sent a letter to her brother. Hedwig was more than happy to help her send it. Happy to have something to do.

"I'm sorry, I haven't give you much thing to do, girl." Hedwig pecked at her finger.

"Ouch. I know, I know. I'll try to give you more work, okay. Here, give this to Merlin, and this one is for Marvolo. Go to Marvolo first, don't wait for a reply. But wait for Merlin's, okay? I love you, girl."

Hedwig ruffled her feathers before flying off to do her mission. Scilla huffed before walking down to her dorm.

It'll be nice if Hedwig can fly to her dorm instead, unfortunately the Slytherin's house is underwater. So she have to walk to and from the owlery to see her snowy owl.

At Riddle Manor,

Tom Marvolo Riddle aka Lord Voldemort, as usual, was buried in his mountain of paperwork. Taking over Britain Wizarding Community the legal way left him with too many paperwork.
