-The day before the first day of your third year your father insisted that you met him in his office, which was always a comforting place to you, seeing how it was the only place you didn't have to call him Professor Snape during school hours. However upon entering the small space filled with many different magical things (including a shelf of the potions you have made him over the years) you could tell this wasn't a pleasant visit.

-"As I am sure you have heard among the other teachers, this is to be the year that...."

"The great Harry Potter is to enter his first year of Hogwarts. Yeah I have heard it once or twice." You finished his sentence as your body sunk into the uncomfortable chair across from your father.

"He is to never know..."

"Too late." You interrupted again, his eyes staring at you in disbelief.

"Hagrid." He hissed before raising from his own chair, and fleeing the office, leaving you alone.

-Upon arriving at Hagrid's Snape found himself pounding on the door of the hut, demanding that the half giant open the door at once. Hagrid opened the door of course for him, which triggered him to storm into the small space and dramatically twirl in a half circle.

"Do you have any idea what you have done?" Snape hissed.

"Now Severus I have no...."

"You told the boy of [Y/N].... Do you have any idea what this means? What if the Dark Lord returns, captures the boy and whist torturing him he reveals her to him. Do you have any idea whom could have heard you..."

"Harry already knew of her." Hagrid voice loudly boomed through the stone walls as Snape stared at him wide eyed, "those good for nothing Dursleys told him that James and Lily Potter died in a car crash, and that while they tried to house his two year old little sister, they found the job too much to bear and sent her away. He asked me if she would also be at the school. I never told him she was housed by a professor or that the muggles were lying, all I said is she is, she is a third year, and a mighty intelligent student here just like her mother." Hagrid continued, this time more softly then before.

-Snape left without another word, and upon returning to his office noted that you were now gone as well. He sighed deeply before sinking to the floor and looking at the shelf of different size bottles, each with a small tag around the neck of it, with a small beat heart charmed upon it.

-You sat that night between the Weasley twins, whom chattered your ear off about how they met the Harry Potter on the train. Neither boy knew of your relation to him or Snape, so as they chattered you clung to every word, nervous to meet your brother. However soon the doors flung open and a large crowd of small humans entered the hall dressed in generic black robes. As the group passed you heard Ron say a quick, "Hey [Y/N]." However your eyes were glued to the fragile boy beside him, with black hair, shining green eyes, and a faint lighting shaped scar upon his forehead

-"Harry Potter!" Minerva called, as the small boy slowly approached the singing hat, while the hall filled with mutters. For this was The Harry Potter here, all professors had their eyes glued to him, except for one, Snape could not look away from your face as you watched the sorting, and how your face lit up when the Sort Hat bellowed, "GRYFFINDOR!"

-Snape also watched as you extended your hand to him when he sat down among the Weasley crowd, and while he couldn't hear what he said, he noted the way the boy's face lit up. He feared the worst.

-when the feast was over you excused yourself from Percy's grand escort and made your way to the dungeon, where upon entering you heard, "I see you have met the Potter boy. Tell me, was he overjoy when you told him..."
