Shine Snape and her Potions Master

Apology...

(Severus's p.o.v.)

I apparated back home that day. I tried getting into her head. She was pretty upset about it. Usually she wont slam doors. I guess I shouldn't have. But I needed to know if she wanted to move back with me. I never found out but instead I made her angry. She was good. Too good for an eight year old. She managed to block me. But that just makes me wonder what secret she is hiding.

Its a month now since my last visit to Dumbledore place. I found new news yesterday. But I wonder how important it could be. I mean the last known descendant of the long line of chor was a squib. It would be difficult to find another one. But they had started a complete search based on ministry documents they have managed to lay their hands on. I wonder why the dark lord murdered the one that Dumbledore mentioned . He could have used that one. But he can be arrogant sometimes. I tried finding the name of that squib with no success.

I picked a handful of floo powder and put it in the fireplace. "Godric's hollow" I drawled lazily. I walked out of Dumbledore's fireplace waving the wand over my robes. I saw a letter on the table. 'Gained back my powers. Managed to heal myself. You were right. I needed nothing but a happy enviornment. I have no problem with control.'

No name of sender. No owl nearby. But so like Dumbledore to keep such letters lying around. I recognized the kid's scrawl. I knew it too well. She was happy according to the letter. That meant she had most probably moved on like she did changed her address. I dont know why I always had difficulty with that. Even in Lily's case I couldn't move on.

Dumbledore came in and broke my train of thoughts. "Ah Severus! I thought I heard someone."

"Where is she?"

"Dont be concerned Severus. She is safe sound and happy. I did not send her to an orphanage. I found a good family for her",that old fool said.

Good family did he say? Good family? What was I? Bad influence? Merlin! I dont believe myself. Why am I angry? I was the one who did not want her anymore. Merlin why was I reacting like this then? I need to calm down. I guesd I 'm just lucky I didn't say it all out loud.

I got to the topic at hand. I told him of the death eaters' plans. Albus paled for a moment when I told him that. I wonder why. I think he knows more about this than he lets on.

(Shine's p.o.v.)

Dumbledore arrived at the burrow the day I sent him the letter telling him that I had regained my powers. At first I thought it was about that. But his face was pale. Something was wrong. 'The Albus Dumbledore' had paled. I wondered why. Well I guess my life is actually screwed up. I wonder if I was born as a perfect example of screwed up life.

The death eaters had now started a systemtic search. Great! They were dumb creatures, sure. But not all were dumb. Severus Snape was one smart death eater. Yes I know about his death eater status. I 'm just not as dumb as I seem to be. After I found my father was this Black I did a bit of research.

And trust me I found out a lot. Almost every person I knew was a death eater. Even the Crabbes. I wonder. I mean why does Voldemort not check your i.q. before you join him. Judging from his son, Mr. Crabbe is bound to be just as dumb if not dumber. But then which man with a little bit of brain would follow him. Severus Snape had been brainwashed by some bad company he found in school. Or I would bet my soul he wasn't dumb enough nor weak enough to join him.

I was scared. But somehow not so much. I could walk straight without stumbling. I was hoping they would not look up the circumstnces of my mother's death. That would be a big clue. I knew they would have to use their brains even if they knew that because I was dead according to official records. I was not Iris Drew's daughter but Sirius Black's.
