Slytherin Harriet Potter

Chapter 3

Severus pov:

Severus Tobias Snape, lord and head of the Sacredly Ancient and Noble House of Prince and the potions master and teacher at Hogwarts, was having a wonderful day. It was the summer holidays and he was spending the week with his long-time friend, Lucius Malfoy, Narcissa, Lucius' wife, and Draco, Severus' 6-year-old godson. Severus was talking to Lucius and Narcissa about the dunderheads that were Gryffindor's whilst Draco was spending the weekend with Blaise, his best friend. Just as he was beginning to speak, an owl flew in bearing a message from Gringotts, the wizarding bank.

He broke the seal and opened the letter, it asked him to come over as quickly as possible because something about him had come to light. Severus showed the letter to Lucius and Narcissa and then they all apparated to Gringotts.

As Severus and the Malfoys looked around, a goblin came up to them and thanked Severus for coming promptly to Gringotts. Severus was curious, "why did I need to come to Gringotts so quickly, is there something wrong with my bank account?"

"Oh no, nothing like that, it has just recently come to light that you are one of Harriet Potter's magical godfathers."

"I'm what?!"

"Please follow me to my office so that I can tell you the full story." Severus and the Malfoys followed Ragnarok to his office to talk about how this had come to be."

Severus settled down Ragnarok began his story, "it all started around 6 years ago when Lily and James Potter had an argument over who should be Harry's godfather, they had already both decided on Alice Longbottom as her godmother, but Lily wanted you, Severus, as Harry's godfather, whereas, James wanted Sirius Black as Harry's godfather.

In the end they came to an agreement, Harry would have two godfathers, but Lily was unable to tell you because soon after they decided, they went into hiding.

I have no idea why you where not informed once they died and both Sirius Black and Alice Longbottom became compromised and unable to look after young Harry."

Severus was very shocked, "all along Lily still cared for me, she made me Harry's godfather. Though, how did this come to light today?"

Ragnarok continued, "Harry had been living with her muggle Aunt and Uncle, the Dursleys. It seems that Lily Potter put a spell on an old box she gave her sister, when in contact with Harry, a letter Lily had written to Harry would appear. This is what the letter said," Ragnarok handed the letter over to Severus.

Severus and the Malfoys read the letter. "What happened next?" Severus asked.

"Harry followed the directions of the letter and came here today; she did a blood and heritage test and here are the results." Ragnarok handed over the test.

After Severus and the Malfoys read the test, they were furious, "How dare he," Severus shouted. "This is a horrendous crime he committed on my goddaughter, where is Harry right now."

"Here, sir" said a quiet feminine voice, the girl that matched that voice was wearing horrible, oversized clothing that hung of her sickly skinny frame. The girl was beautiful, there was no doubt about that, with long black her, beautiful green eyes framed by thick black eyelashes, and skin the colour of the moon.

She also had the famous lightning bolt scar on her forehead and some bruises on her shoulders and neck. She looked a lot like Lily and very nervous of being discarded, at that moment Severus Tobias Snape swore that he would look after this young girl if it killed him.
