Carly Lily Potter

Diagon Alley

Carly seriously enjoyed her first ever warm bath. She washed the grime of her skin and she lay in the water for a while. She closed her eyes and felt the relaxation of the warm water.

She couldn't thank Severus Snape enough. Being able to get out of that wretched house and away from that family. She was so glad that her life was changing so much and becoming good for once.

She daydreamed for a while but the water was getting colder and she decided to finally clean her hair. She hadn't been able to wash her hair in 3 months and then it was only a hose and a minimal amount of shampoo.

She used loads, maybe too much, shampoo and rinsed it out thoroughly before repeating the process with her conditioner. When she out the bath she was shocked at the colour of the water. It was totally brown and grimy.

She had to laugh though, knowing she will never be like that again. She couldn't even remember her proper hair colour.

After drying herself, she put on some pants and socks and inspected the clothes that Severus had transfigured for her.

There was a white under top, black jeans with a picture of a green snake on the bum pocket and an emerald green shirt with a silver collar and silver cuffs and silver buttons.

She put on the clothes and tucked in her shirt. She smiled at her new and good look, she also slipped on the black vans that were on the floor.

She decided to leave her hair down and she dried it by touching it like she always did. It lay straight down her back and with the clothes as well, her eyes looked amazing.

She skipped out of the room and saw no sign of a certain Severus Snape. She grinned mischievously as she made her way towards his bedroom, she guessed it was that because it was the only remaining door.

She pushed the door open lightly and saw him in the bed with no shirt on. Her eyes widened slightly at his toned chest, even if she is only 11!! Anyway, so she crept into the room and stared down at him. His hair was splayed on the pillow with one hand underneath his head.

She bent down to his ear and grinned again before shouting,

"GET UP!!" She quickly got out his way as she doubled over laughing. He shot up and fell straight out of the bed. She was holding her knees and virtually crying as he glared at her from the floor.

"What, in Merlin's name, did you do that for?" He hissed. He hauled himself of the floor as Carly carried on giggling to herself.

"Well Severus. You said I could wake you up." She grinned.

"Did I say shout in my ear?" He scowled. He stood with one hand on his arms crossed over his chest and tried to look stern. Carly state red laughing again at the sight of his topless figure. He was wearing pyjama trousers with cauldrons on.

"I'm...sorry." She panted. "You...I...them trousers!" She giggled. Severus looked down and back up again as he shot her a scowl/glare.

"Get out while I get ready!" He snapped. Carly just nodded and skipped from the room.

---20 minutes later---

"Hurry up Severus! I want to go to this Diagon Alley place!" Carly yelled. She frowned when she saw his outfit.

"Don't take that tone withe me Miss.Potter. I can spend as much time getting ready as I want." He droned.

"Yeh yeh. Is it Halloween?" She asked innocently. Severus looked confused for a moment.

"I think you know the answer to that Potter."

"Please call me Carly, Severus. Anyway, it's just that you like slightly bat-ish, I you know what I mean." She smiled. He sneered at her and isn't comment. Instead he just grabbed a handful of powder and chucked it into the fire, the flames shot up green.
