You were woken up by Severus tapping on your shoulder, you rubbed your eyes as Severus stood up

Severus- ready to go?

Me- yeah! I can't wait!

The two of you walked to the school. Your eyes went wide as your smile grew big. You've heard stories at bedtime but seeing it in person was even more beautiful. You went with the other first years, leaving Severus to go with the teachers. You waved goodbye to him before running after them

McGonagall- when I call your name, come up and sit so the Hat May sort you

One after another, students were called up to be sorted. You saw Severus again sitting at the long table and waved. He waved back

McGonagall- Snape Y/N

People whispered and your smile faded. What was wrong? Did you have something in your teeth? Was there a stain on your robe? Whatever it was you brushed it off and walked up to the Sorting Hat. You sat down and the Hat was placed on your head perfectly

Sorting Hat- Hmm I know you... well this is an easy choice... SLYTHERIN

The green table roared. You walked over and sat down. You looked up at Severus, he had a smile as his hands clapped. You smiled back at him and watched the rest of the first years get sorted

-----

You walked to your Common Room with Severus following behind. Other Slytherins were whispering but you didn't care. You loved being in the same house as your father. When the door was opened you looked around the room in awe. Severus's hand was on your shoulder

Severus- I'll be back, have fun

He turned but before he left you grabbed his robes and hugged him. He then wrapped an arm around you, returning the gesture

Y/N- I love you Severus

Severus- and I do you

He left closing the door behind him
