Snapes Child

The Birthday wish

The clock read 11:55 PM. Slowly she got out of bed she hadn't been able to sleep all week. She slowly put on her slippers and crept past the mirror and out of her bedroom. It was a Friday night in August. She was making sure to walk slow so that she didn't step on a floor board making it squeak and have her father hear her. She could barley see anything, the only light she had came out of the window at the end of the hallway up stairs. She stopped in her tracks out side of her bedroom. Her bed room was at the end of the hall way her father never slept he was in his study which was down a secret pathway in the bookcase in his bedroom but she couldn't afford to let him know she was still awake. She sneezed and she looked around. She knew something had happened. She kept walking she reached the bottom of the stairs she saw a little candle on in the  kitchen. She must have lit it when she sneezed. She looked at the landing and saw nothing then when she looked back she saw her house elf standing there. She jumped and almost screamed. "Oh! You scared me Flower" (I don't know, just go with it) "Hello Miss Lizzie " said Flower. Lizzie  always made sure to be nice to her house elf seeing as the rest of them were mistreated. She didn't want that for Flower. "Does Master Severus know you're-" the girl cut her off "no, so we can't be loud but listen I need you to come to the kitchen with me really quickly" the little elf nodded and followed as she walked toward the little light. It was candle. "Perfect" she said realizing it was there. Flower followed but didn't say anything. "She glanced at a clock over top of the counter. 5...4...3...2...1. She blew out the candle. It was 12:00 AM On her birthday. She had made her wish. She has been doing this ever since she learned about Hogwarts, she hoped, even being the way she was, that she would get to go. "Flower" she whispered "can you light a candle for me so I can get back to my room" she saw a light flicker on in front her but instead of being the short house elf the light illuminated a face that was at a considerably different height than the house elf, the face belonged to Severus Snape. "Please don't be mad" he took his wand out. "Lumos totalum" he muttered and it lit up the whole kitchen the dining room the sitting room and the huge doors to the library. "I'm not mad" he said. She gave a sigh of relief "good" he looked at her " But do need to go to bed now Liz." She started towards the stairs "what did you wish for this year?" She looked at him and smiled "the same thing I wished for last year" and she yawned and proceeded up the stairs without another word. She gave that answer every single year, and every single year she seemed to be patiently waiting for the next year to ask again. Severus started to make his way back to the library before he did so he pointed his wand at the light he launched in the middle of the room and said "nox" then he walked in closed the doors and returned to his book in the arm chair by the fire.
