The Struggles Of Being Sarah Potter, The-Transgender-Girl-Once-Boy-Who-Lived

Snape, Snape, Severus, Snape

I think you know the drill by now. I. Don't. Own. Anything. Guys! I am SOOOOO sorry I haven't updated in forever! You guys have been great, and if your still reading this, thanks for not giving up on me, life has been throwing a lot of insanity my way. I also had this chapter all typed up, over a thousand words, and then Wattpad deleted it all for no reason at all. I will make it up to you by making this chapter super long!

"Longbottom, you bumbling idiot! Can't do anything right can you! Granger, take Longbottom to the Hospital wing!" Snape yelled at Neville, and Hermione quickly escorted Neville to the Hospital wing. Then he rounded on Sarah. For a second, Sarah thought she saw him mouth 'sorry' but it happened so fast that she thought she imagined it.
"Potter why didn't you tell Longbottom to take the cauldron off the fire first, thought it might make you look good? Detention at 7 sharp tonight Ms. Potter." Snape says, and one thing confused Sarah. He made it seem as thought he didn't like her, but he properly gendered her and defended her earlier against Ron, one of his Slytherins, who he is said to favor. Snape dismissed class, and Sarah was still contemplating Serverus Snape. Sarah wasn't really paying attention as she swept all of her stuff into her bag, and was kind of out of it, so she didn't notice where she was going until she walked right into Theodore Nott, who had his nose buried in a book and was paying about as much attention to his surroundings as Sarah.
"I am so sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going!" Theodore says, his book on the ground, forgotten as he helps Sarah to her feet. "Theodore Nott, but you can call me Theo, everyone does." Theo says introducing himself to Sarah.
"Sarah Dursley-Potter, though I'm sure you knew that already." Sarah said in response with a slight smile.
"Well, it was nice talking to you Sarah, but we have to get to our next classes if we don't want to be late." Theo says, and Sarah checks her watch and see that he is right, she says goodbye, and as she turns around, she sees him pick his book back up off the ground. The rest of Sarah's day was pretty uneventful, at least until 6:55 PM when she walked into the Potions classroom for detention. When she walks in, she sees Snape sitting calmly at his desk.
"First off, I apologise for the way I behaved in class. I had to make it seem like I hated you in class." Snape starts of, and Sarah is flabbergasted. Snape didn't actually hate her?
"Why do you have to be mean to me in class?" Sarah said with an accusive voice.
"I have to be mean to you in class because I'm playing double agent. If some of the Slytherins see me being nice to you, they will report it to their parents, who will eventually report it to Voldemort after his enviable return. And that will lead me to my death. But I don't hate you, in fact, it's quite the opposite." Professor Snape says.
" What do you mean by quite the opposite, professor?" Sarah asked, curious.
"Ms. Potter, while we are in these private meetings, I encourage you to call me Serverus." Sn- Serverus says.
"Then you may call me Sarah." Sarah says.
"I would like that very much Sarah. You see, you and I are more alike then anyone knows, back when I was younger, I was misgendered as Female, and called Sapphire. I am a Female to Male Transgender, and one of the main reasons I am telling you this is because I know what you are going through, and can help you, like your mother, who was my best friend when I transitioned at 10, helped me." Serverus said, and you can practically see Sarah's eyes, identical to her mother's, widen in shock.
"You knew my mother? And you understand? You're a FtM?" Sarah asked, the surprise clearly evident in her voice and face.
"Yes to all of your questions." Severus says, and Sarah starts asking questions about her mother during her Hogwarts years. Her Aunt/Mum had told her all she could about her biological parents, but Petunia was extremely jealous of Lily's ability to use magic, so they grew apart during the years Lily went to Hogwarts, and James she had only met a few times. Severus had information on at least one of her parents. Then came the next question after the Q and A about her mother.
"Did you know my father too?" Sarah asked, it was an innocent question, but she knew nothing about him.
"....Yes.. I knew him also" Severus said with a bit of hesitation, hoping Sarah didn't notice. She did.
"You hesitated. Why did you hesitate? Are you lying?" Sarah asked, sad about the fact that all she had just been told about her mother might be a lie.
"No, it wasn't a lie, it's just that your father and I weren't on the best of terms. In fact, before you came here, I had fully intended on hating Harry Potter for his father's crimes, but when you got here, I couldn't hate you, you reminded me too much of myself." Severus says, and Sarah feels upset for a second that Severus had decided to hate someone before even meeting them. Then his words sunk in.
"Crimes?" Sarah questioned, hoping that wasn't implying what she thought it was implying. Unfortunately for her, her guess was exactly right.
"I hate to be the one telling you this, but your father was the bully in the majority of these situations." Hearing it spoken out loud and confirming it wasn't what Sarah needed.
"If it makes you feel better, he started to grow out of it in 6th year, and grew out of it entirely in 7th." Severus says trying to comfort the girl who was just told that her father was a bully back in school.
"Yes that does help some, thank you Severus." Sarah says with a small smile.
"Sarah, you may want to head back to your dorm, curfew begins in 15 minutes, and if anyone asks, you were scrubbing dirty cauldrons for detention. Remember, no one can know that I don't hate you, and you don't hate me." Severus says, and Sarah relpys with a cocky "I know" and goes back to the dorm, barely making it back getting back at 9:59 PM when curfew is 10:00 PM.
"Cutting it awful close young lady." Says the Fat Lady.
"I know. I had detention with Snape cleaning cauldrons" Sarah says, and the Fat Lady winces and relpys with
"Well that is a good excuse." The Fat Lady says and swings her portrait open, and Sarah lies down and falls asleep almost instantly. Not before she puts on Hamilton, however.
Okay, okay, I know I'm in big trouble for not updating, but life siriusly got in the way. I'm updating now, and that's what matters, right? I could go on and on, but I don't want to bore you with details of my personal life. Thanks once again for reading, I never thought this story would have so many people read and like!
Bye for now,
