"Are you sure about this, (Y/n)?"

"Positive."

Hermione hugged you tightly as you embraced her back.

"Where will you stay?" Ron questioned.

"I'm not sure.."

Truth be told, you didn't plan to leave at all.

"I'll figure out something. You three stay safe, yeah?"

Hermione let go and nodded lightly.

Harry smiled.

"Will do, mate." Ron replied.

-----

You returned.

"Home sweet home.." You whispered under muttering breath. "..I guess."

You went up to your room and sat on your bed, giving a weak sigh as you laid on the sheets.

Just then, you heard the door from downstairs squeak. Then, it closed.

You got up and headed towards the staircase, hiding behind the corner to examine the presence.

It was Snape. And only Snape.

He took off his black robe and placed it on the coat hanger next to him, stretching slightly.

Work must've been hard for him.

"Dad..?" you whispered.

Snape flinched lightly as his eyes quickly scattered the room, finally making their way towards you.

"(Y/n).." He returned the whisper.

You went down the stairs slowly, step by step, as you finally reached the bottom.

Snape was already waiting for you there as the two of you locked eyes.

"You're shorter than I remember, (Y/n)." He joked, giving a small, weak little smile.

You giggled as you hugged him tightly, with him hugging you back.

"Dad.. it was all an act.. right?"

He continued stroking your hair as his grip tightened.

"What else would it be, darling?"

You muffled your face into his chest as he patted you on the back.

"Sorry for yelling that day.." You muttered.

"I understand."

Finally, you pulled away and looked him in his onyx eyes once more.

"You.. look overworked."

"I've been.. busy." He replied.

You quickly got off the stairs and headed to the kitchen.

"(Y/n)?"

"Sit your butt down before I make you, old man." You joked.

He chuckled and sat down on the chair at the dining table.

A while after your shenanigans, you turned around and walked over to Snape.

"Hot chocolate." You said, placing down a mug in front of him. "My specialty."

He smiled.

"Thank you, (Y/n). I don't know what I'd do without you."

"You'd probably continue being your lonely, emo self."

"I'll take that as a compliment."

You laughed.

"As you should."

-----

"Sooo, what's Father been up to?"

Snape sighed.

"(Y/n), you know I can't tell y-"

"I know, I know! But.. I'm technically part of the dark side, too."

"Do you see the Dark Mark imprinted on your arm?"

"No-"

"Exactly."

"But my value surely is higher than anything else in this world, isn't it?"

Snape stared at you as he shifted uncomfortably in his seat.

"Thinking a bit too high of yourself, d-don't you think?"

You raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah, it's almost like I'm not his daughter or something."

From the glimpse of your eye, you could see Snape gave a sigh of relief.

He didn't know..

He didn't know you knew.

"(Y/n), your father loves you dearly-"

"Sure he does."

You rolled your eyes slightly.

"Darling-"

"I just don't get it.. why was I born like this.."

Snape didn't reply.

He knew very well that you weren't born.

You were created.

"Forget it, more hot chocolate?" You gestured at the empty cup on the table.

"Yes, thank you." Snape replied.

-----

The rest of the day, you hung out with your dad like it was the last day on earth.

You guys played board games, drank hot chocolate, watched the muggle device called a television, and so much more.

You were on the couch, sipping your hot chocolate as you glued your eyes to the screen of the device.

"Muggle technology is amazing." You muttered.

The show went on and on as you felt a mix of emotions.

"That's right! Go beat his arse!"

"Noooo!! Don't dieeee!!"

"Seriously?! Are you THAT blind! He's right behind you!"

Once the end credits rolled, you finally laid back onto the couch, pulling the blanket closer.

"That was amazing.. wasn't it, dad?" You asked, resting your eyes.

There was no response.

"Dad?"

Suddenly, you heard snoring.

You opened your eyes and looked beside you, seeing Snape sound asleep, about to fall onto the side of the couch.

You shook your head lightly as you giggled, picking up your magical box device and quickly capturing the moment. (I think it was called.. a foan? A phone?)

"Now, this is what happiness feels like." You muttered to yourself, getting up and covering Snape with your blanket.

You switched off the television and got him a pillow to lay on, turning the lights off in the meantime.

"Love you, dad."
