Assigned Lovers// Draco Malfoy Love Story

10. a reunition of father and daughter

"Sir I'm afraid I don't understand" Alina said, her heart beginning to beat louder and harder.

"Alina..." He sat back down in to his chair. Now staring at her with a sympathetic look. "Professor Snape is your father" He finally confessed.

Alina felt her body tense at his words, everything began to go dark and suddenly she felt the thud of the floor.

Her eyes began to open and she was surronded by Dumbledore, Snape and Madam Promfrey. The smell of pumpkin juice and medicine invading her smell.

"What happened sir?" Alina managed to gather her words

"Well Alina, if I recall correctly Professor Dumbledore here had informed you of... rather important information"

Suddenly all the information came flooding back in to Alinas mind.

Snape is her father.

"I will leave you two" Dumbledore said, making his way out of the hospital wing

"You're my... father?"

"Yes Alina, I am". Snape took a seat next to her, interlocking his hand with hers. He looked in to her eyes, taking in all of her features. Finally being able to observe his daughter, she was his and she looked just like him.

"Im so sorry Alina....I'm so sorry" He quietly spoke, his words fighting to make their way out as his tears streamed down his face. He put his head in his free hand and kept it there. His shoulders moving with his small cry's.

"Why didn't you tell me?! Why wasn't this the first thing you said to me?!" Alina felt no sympathy for him. She spent half her life alone. Thinking that the only people who had truly loved her were gone. And now, in front of her
sat a wimp, a coward who could not even claim his own daughter.

"Alina..." He sensed her anger "please, let me explain"  he begged

Snape then lifted up his left sleeve, revealing the cursed mark. "This is why I left you. It wasn't safe with me"

Alina was speechless. Once again, she could not find the words to respond

"I left you with the only person I could trust, Lily Potter. She loved you like her own child. You and Harry had grown together as babies. But when the dark lord told me that he would be kill her, I begged him to keep you alive. I tried to save her.. but I was too late. There in that cold house on that horrid night I was left with my daughter and harry potter"  He paused, making sure his daughter was okay. Once he noted her curious expression he continued... "He told me that if he was to spare your life, you would have to become a death eater like me. But I could not let that happen. Alina, when you walk near Potter does your scar hurt?"

She nodded.

"I connected you and Potter through his scar on his head and yours on your wrist. That way I could find either of you if i had the other. Then I sent you far away knowing I would see Potter later in his life. Your Aunt Ivory, she was a friend of mine from a group I am a part of. She took you in and cared for you. She moved her whole life to America to ensure you would be safe. Ivory sent me so many pictures of you and I watched you grow up through them. She told me about how powerful you are." He squeezed her hand, a smile growing on his face "Sirius then offered to teach you how to defend yourself for ifthe dark lord was to ever return. And now Alina, you're here. Dumbledore knew of our relation when he called you here. However, I had told everyone else you were dead. Only meme era of the order know your existence. For your own safety.When Dumbledore told me about the career you had made for yourself with Ivory and how it was time for you to join the order. I was so proud of you."

He finished his story and Alina felt a flood of emotions. She leaped from her bed and wrapped her father in a hug. They stayed like that for a very long time. A father and daughter were finally reunited.
