The Daughter He Never New (Snape's Daughter Book 1)

Chapter 1 Home Life

Hey my name is Elizabeth Jayne I'm 10 years old but I turn 11 in a few weeks. I live with my mother and step-father they don't like me much though, because everywhere I go weird things happen and I always get the blame for it even though I didn't do anything and get punished.

I never know my father my mother always tells me that he left when she told him that she was pregnant and that I’m just like him a 'Monster' as she would say.

"Elizabeth!" my mother yelled up the stairs waking me from another nightmare filled sleep "COME DOWN HERE AND MAKE BREAKFAST NOW" she finished I simply sigh and get out of bed "Yes mother" I said walking out of my room and go down the stairs and head into the kitchen and start to make breakfast when my mother came in "You're just like your father, he could do strange things as well. You even look like him" she paused "God I despise him so much" I was going to say "well if you hate him so much why do you always talk about him then" but decided against it after last time I spoke back I was punished really bad. I just nod my head and continue to cook. One I was done I put it onto a plate"Now go back to your room you worthless piece of shit" my mother said through the grit of her teeth. I nodded "Yes mother" even though I get called this often or even worse it still hurt but I can't show this as it was a sign of weakness and I wasn't going to give here the satisfaction of knowing that it hurt me. Suddenly all the cupboard doors in the kitchen fly open with a loud thud and the contents fly out onto the floor with a loud crash.

I freeze to the spot in terrier and look at my mother whose face looks angrier by the second. I hear loud foot steps down the stairs, less than a second latter my step-father, Deric storms into the kitchen "What is going on here" Deric yelled looking at the scene in front of him "She did it again" my mother said sounding pissed off and grabs my arm and storms out of the room dragging me with her and Deric following behind us. My mother drags me down to the basement and pushes me to the ground. "What did we tell you piece of shit" Deric said standing above me. I didn't dare to say anything because it would only make it worse. My mother walked over to a take in the corner of the room and grabbed a sock and tap. Walking over and shoving the sock in my mouth and tapping it shut making a gag. They then proceeded to beat me, kicking and punching me all over. This went on for about 30 minutes before they stopped, but they weren't finished. Deric looked at my mother and gave a nod. Deric forcefully grabbed my arm and pinned it down leaving my forearm exposed. My mother walked over walked over to the table and grabbed a small knife. I already know what was about to happen and turned my head away as my mother back over with an evil gin on her face. I prepare for the pain I was about to experience one again.

I feel a sharp pain in my arm as my mother carves into my arm. It takes everything in me not to scream out in pain as she creates new scars and opens old ones. Tears spill out of my eyes from the pain as my mother carves the word 'Monster' into my arm. Both my mother and Deric get off me and walk out of the basement locking me in. I stay lying there now letting tears fall freely instead of the odd one or two I was earlier. I lift my good arm to my face removing the gag.

It's been a few weeks since then and today is my birthday although I don't expect anything special or even for mother and Deric to say "Happy birthday". I look at the time to see that its 7am meaning it was time for me to get up. It's Sunday so I know that mother and Deric still won't be awake. I quietly get out of bed and go downstairs and into the kitchen and grab a cookie from the cupboard this is all I'm probably going to eat today. When I'm finished I go back to my room and just draw. I like to draw its my way of coping with my mother. Right now I'm drawing a snake and a lion two of my favourite animals. I hear scratching at my window and look up from my drawing. To my astonishment I see an Owl outside my window with a letter in its beck. I walk over to the window and open it. The Owl fly's in and drops the letter on my bed and sits on the end of my bed. I slowly wake over trying not to scare the bird but it already doesn't seem to be scared of my presents. I sit down on my bed and grab the letter. On the front of the old looking envelope in beautiful neat handwriting and lime green ink it said.

Miss E. Jayne

Dingy Little Room

8 Highfield Lane

Chester

I look around my room well they got dingy little room right I thought bringing back my attention to the letter. I look at the back of the envelop to see that it was sealed with wax with a crest that I don't recognise. I open the letter and begin to read.

HOGWARTS SCHOOL OF WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY

Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore

(Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorc., Chf. Warlock,

Supreme Mugwump, International Confed. Of Wizards)

Dear Miss Jayne

We are pleased to inform you that you have a place at Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment.

Term starts on 1 September. We await your Owl by no later than 31 July.

Yours sincerely

Minerva McGonagall

Deputy Headmistress.

I'm a what? This must be a joke! Well it would explain why I can do all these things wait did mother know about this and not tell me? Is my real father a wizard that would explain a lot. I'll write back and see what happens. I thought I get up from my bed and grab some paper from one of my drawing books and begin to write a letter to send back.

Dear Professor McGonagall

I would love to attend Hogwarts but there is one problem. My mother and step-father don't like that I can do weird things and don't let leave my room much let alone the house. I really do want to go but I have no idea what they would do if I went

Yours sincerely

Elizabeth Jayne.

I fold up the letter and hand it to the Owl and it flew out of my window again. I close the window and hid the letter so mother and Deric can't find it. Once again I pick up my drawing book and start to draw the Owl that was in my room just moments ago.
