Another Potter? (Severus Snape Daughter Fanfiction)

Chapter 13 - Christmas

(P.O.V- Amelia's)

After dinner I went straight to my room once Severus told me that I didn't have to wash the dishes. Right, back to studying. I picked up the book Hermione let me borrow and skimmed through it again.

I got out my spare cauldron and set it up on the floor.

"Incendio." I whispered.

The fire lit nicely and began heating up the cauldron. I look in my suitcase for ingredients and began the tedious part of the potion. Once all the ingredients I had were added I lied down on the floor and waited. Turns out sitting so close to a flame while having a sweater on was extremely hot.

'What exactly do you think you're doing?'

Oh hey Lin. I'm just resting.

'I meant, why are you making potions in your room unsupervised?'

Ah, well. I'm just experimenting, it's a harmless potion after all.

If you count turning yourself into a completely different mammal harmless then yeah.

'I don't know what you have planned, but you better be careful. Whatever you do, proceed with caution. Not everything can be trusted, remember that.'

What do you mean by that, are you talking about the potion? Or something else?

Lin?

I guess he's gone. I should get ready for bed.

----------------------------------------------------

Christmas. That was today right? I feel guilty not getting Severus anything, I mean he is being so kind to me. Hm. I looked out the window and realized it was probably rather early in the morning.

The potion I was brewing the night before was still heating up. There was now only a small amount of liquid, just enough to put inside a bottle. The potion was far from being done, but this was a step in the right direction. I took the liquid and carefully transferred it over to a bottle. I hid it under my bed, I didn't want anyone to question what I was making. That would make for an awkward conversation.

With that done I took the cauldron over to the washroom inside my room and cleaned it out. And boy did it smell horrid.

I set the cauldron down where I previously had it and began making a new one. Severus had provided me with ingredients in the cabinets inside this room, though they were only common herbs and plants so none of them would help with my animagus potion.

---------------------------------------

Around half and hour later I completed the new potion and put it in a vial, tying it off with a ribbon. Perfect. I set it down and began getting ready for the day, I wanted to meet up with Harry and Ron later.

After changing I put the vial in my pocket and made my way out of the room and the chambers.

------------------------------------------

"That's so cool Harry!" I exclaim.

He had a cloak that could turn you invisible! Invisible! It was so bizarre.

We spent the morning joking around and playing wizard's chess. Well I watched Ron and Harry play wizard's chess, I sat and ate chocolate watching Ron beat Harry for the tenth time.

"Wait! I almost forgot, Amelia I have a gift for you as well. My mum made it."

He handed me a sweater. I unfolded it and realized it had the letter A on it. With a big smile I put the sweater on and looked at him gratefully.

"Thank you. I love it."

It was beginning to get late so I said my goodbyes and made my way back to Severus' private quarters. Once entering I found him at the dining table grading papers.

"Welcome back Amelia, how has your day been?"

"I got to watch Harry and Ron play chess- Oh! Look what Mrs. Weasley got me!"

He looked up and noticed my new sweater, "It's lovely, Merry Christmas. I actually have a gift for you, but you took off before I could give it to you. Follow me."

I followed him to his office where he handed me a wooden box.

"I wasn't sure what you would like, but you seem to have an affinity for potions. These are from my personal collection."

I opened the box and looked at the variety of ingredients, some of them I've never even heard of before. At least, I haven't read about them in my books yet.

"Thank you! I actually have a gift for you as well..It-It's not as nice as what you gave me, but..well here."

I reached in my pocket and handed him the vial.

"It's a pepper-up potion..I know you could easily make one, probably way better than the one I made, but I just wanted to make because- I- maybe it would be more conveni-"

"Thank you."

I nodded and awkwardly smiled, maybe it was stupid to give him a potion he could make with a flick of a wand.

"Really. Thank you. Actually, once you've learned enough about potions I can have you help out Madam Pomfrey by making potions for her patients."

"Really?! I would love that!"

An opportunity to practice potion making? It might sound boring to spend my extra time wanting to improve at potions, but so far it's something I find enjoyable.

And..Severus likes potions..so if I'm good at that then maybe, maybe he'll approve of me as his daughter.

"I'll talk to her about it tomorrow. For now, let's eat dinner."

(A/N):

Hey guys, it's been a while huh. Sorry for the long wait. But I do want to ask about something, should I just make it mainly in Amelia's P.O.V? I don't want to switch POV's so often in one chapter because it might make it a little cluttery

Maybe for certain chapters I would switch, but probably the only other character I would switch to would be Severus. But I don't know, let me know what you guys think :)

Also if anyone would like to be a beta reader or know someone who might want to be for this book then PM me
