If This Is Fate It Sucks (Harry Potter Fanfic)

Chapter 3

Isis had flooed into the headmasters office from Sirius' house.

Her dad had no idea that she was there because she wasn't suppose to show up for another couple days. Everyone had figured that it would take longer to get to Isis than it did. It was really just a coincidence that she was in the muggle village the same time as Tonks, Remus, Sirius, and Kingsley.

Headmaster Dumbledore gave Isis directions to the Great Hall where everyone was having dinner. Dumbledore was suppose to be in there but knew that Isis would be arriving (Kingsley had owled him while they were waiting for Tonks to arrive back with Isis and her things) so he stayed to wait for her.

Isis basically ran through the halls of Hogwarts. She just couldn't get there fast enough. It had been so long since she saw her father and she missed him greatly.

Finally she came upon a big set of doors. She swung one open and rushed into the room to find it filled with students. The room had four long tables all filled with students with different emblems on their robes and a staff table at the front where her dad sat staring at his food.

Her father was the easiest person to pick apart even if you haven't seen him for years. She walked up the isle straight in the middle of the four tables. When she got halfway to the staff table almost everyone noticed her but her father was still staring at him food.

"Isis?" Snape asked finally noticing the little black haired girl walking up the center isle.

As an answer she smiled really big.

Snape got up from his spot behind the table and walked to the front. Isis quickly walked the rest of the way up the isle.

"Hey dad." Isis said hugging Snape.

"When did you get here?" he asked.

"Tonks sent me here as soon as we got back from Violets house."

"How is your mother?" Snape asked his eyes darkening.

"Stupid." Isis broke out of the hug. "Remus said that you need to talk to me."

"Yes yes. There are some things we need to talk about. Here follow me." Snape walked down the isle Isis just walked up and Isis followed him. They left the Great Hall and walked down corridors to the dungeons. Snape led Isis into his office and shut the door.

"You have a lot of books." Isis said scanning the shelves.

"Yes I prefer to read in here then in the library. Any way we do need to talk." Snape was dreading having to tell her this.

"You do not look happy. Just tell me fast and get it over with." Isis was getting a bit concerned because Snape looked like someone stole his puppy. Isis sat down on a chair close to Snape

"A new law was just passed that says that all males above the age of 17 who are not married have to become married-"

"Wait do you have to get married?" Isis asked jumping up.

"Yes but-"

"What's her name? Do I get to meet her?" Isis was beginning to ramble. She always wanted a real mother, not someone who basically gave her daughter to her boyfriends house elves to raise.

"Yes yes, but this isn't about me right now." Isis shut her mouth and stared expectantly at her father. "All of the men that fit the condition in the law met here in the Great Hall and the sorting hat was placed on their heads to decide who it is that they will be marrying. An old student of mine's wife chosen was you Isis. You have to get married within six weeks or get your wand snapped and banished from the wizarding world."

"Oh well that's no good." Isis said sitting back down in her chair. She pursed he lips then said, "Well lets look on the bright side, since I don't go to school I can spend the six weeks getting to know the guy."

"Are you okay with this?" Snape asked shocked. Her attitude and expression were one that he hadn't anticipated.

"No I am not at all, but it's inevitable. We can't change what’s going on. So we might as well make the best of it."

"That's a good way of looking at it, but the girl I'm marrying is a bit insufferable. She is quite the know it all." Snape sat down at his desk and stared at Isis. It had been so long since he had last seen her and he noticed how little she looks like her mother. She has her tiny frame and sharp features but she has Snapes black hair and eyes and pale white skin.

"Dad can I meet who you are marrying?" Isis asked after a moment of quiet.

"If you must. But wouldn't you rather meet the man you have to marry first?" Snape started to lead the way out of the office but turned back to see her still sitting in the chair.

"No I want to meet the woman who is going to be my new mother." Isis said with a huge smile on her face.

Snape made a disgusted grunt and walked out of the office with Isis tailing behind. They went back into the Great Hall and Snape led Isis over to one of the tables.

"Hermione this is Isis. Isis I am going to go finish dinner." With that he walked off back to the staff table.

"Hi" Hermione said staring at Isis with a look of confusion on her face. She was very pretty and tall with light brown curly hair.

"Hi. I asked dad if I could meet the person who he has to marry and he brought me to you." Isis said smiling.

"Oh yes, well that's me." Hermione was beginning to blush.

"Can I sit with you?" Isis asked.

Hermione nodded. "Wait so your Professor Snapes daughter?" Hermione asked her eyes huge.

"Yep." Isis said staring around the room.

"So you have to marry Fred?" a guy with red hair asked from across the table.

"I'm not sure. Dad didn't say who it was that I would be marrying. Why?" Isis stared at the boy with confusion.

"He's my brother." Isis nodded at him to show she understood.

Isis, Hermione and Hermione's friends talked about random things the rest of dinner.

"Isis we need to get you back to your house." Snape said coming up behind her.

"But I don't want to go home. Violet is horrible." Isis whined.

"Not there. The place you were before you were here." Snape said grabbing Isis' arm lightly. He brought her up to Dumbledore's office and flooed her back to Sirius' house.

Sirius was in the living room when Isis got there. He was sitting on a couch reading a book with Angus lying on the floor nearby. "Oh hey. I expected that you would stay longer." Sirius said putting his book down.

"I wanted too but I'm a bit tired. I met dad's soon to be wife." Isis said smiling.

"She's a nice girl isn't she?" Sirius asked.

"Yes which is a bit surprising. I'm sure you noticed that my father isn't exactly nice." Isis let out a little laugh at the thought of her father having to spend the rest of his life with that nice happy girl.

"It is very surprising. Anyway let me show you to the guest room." Sirius showed Isis the guest room then left to go to his own room.

Isis fell asleep within a few minutes.
