I looked at them, I was almost happy to have finally known who my parents were, I smiled.

I overheard that whole conversation, and well, even though I am slightly mad and upset, I understand your reasoning behind putting me in an orphanage, as I said the words I could tell they were a little surprised. I knew I had to understand them, though. I wasn't going to not understand... I just met... my parents. Together. I never thought I would "say" that ever in my life. It is just so amazing. This day just took a big turn. I get out of the infirmary, I try to talk to Professor Snape, and... I meet my parents. My father was in front of my face this whole time, and I never knew? I feel so... dumb.

I snap out of my thoughts as my name seeps through, "Scarlet.." I heard Snape... my father say, I snap out of it, "S-sorry... I'm just thinking a lot right now, I guess..." they both were also very quiet... and why wouldn't they be? This is so... wild. It happened so fast, "Scarlet, we want to make sure that you DO understand why we had to put you in the orphanage, okay?" I nodded with my eyes kind of watery, "I completely... understand, I'm just... so happy," they both smiled at me, just hoping I was telling the truth, and I was. I do understand.

Along with the sadness, I was filled with angry too. The Dark Lord took me away from my family. My mother. My father. Both of them. I want revenge on this, but I hope I'm not gonna do it alone either. I just don't know how I'm going to do it. I want the revenge I deserve. No. WE deserve. I looked down and back up at my parents I sighed "I just have one question" they both looked at me as Profess- my father spoke "what would that be but first please just come in" i walked in the room and they shut the door, and they both sat down side by side "why leave me so long there i mean now that i started at Hogwarts either one of you could of came and brought be out of there but you didn't why".

They looked at each other and back at me "because we wanted to keep the dark lord away from you as long as we could we both knew you were looking for us we tried to be once step ahead of you, but now that things with the orphanage have been brought to our attention we needed to do something. We did not want you finding out like this" she sighed i looked at them, and slowly started to understand more of why i looked down at my feet and she walked over to me hugging me tightly, bursting into tears well kissing the top of my head. I smiled this was one of the best feelings i had ever had as i soon felt a hand on my shoulder, my father was looking at me with compassionate eyes, "can i have a hug?" i turned towards him giving him a proper hug he looked down "not to change the subject but you wont be playing Quidditch for quite awhile" i sighed nodding not really caring anymore, i had my parents that's all i had given a damn about at the moment.

Before i had even known it they both looked at me "we both will be taking you for break together in one house" my eyes watered more as i looked at them, "my first family Christmas" they nodded and looked at me i smiled and hugged them both tightly, as i went off to the slytherin common room but of course to make the day go to crap in two point five seconds. I walked right into Draco he just sneered at me i thought perfect just perfect "Blood traitor" i turned to him "bugger off Malfoy you try to ruin today and succeed and that will be the last of you". i snarled in his direction he chuckled "i could ruin your day any way shape or form" i rolled my eyes and mocked him making him mad we weren't far from my fathers office, i knew he could probably hear me, but right now i didn't care "awe what mummy and daddy don't care" he laughs "i forgot you're just a fifthly mudblood like Granger", that's when my hair had gone fiery red "LEAVE HER OUT OF THIS YOU'RE JUST A TYPICAL GOOD FOR NOTHING PUREBLOOD SLYTHERIN!!!!!" I yelled so loud i nearly scared my self into hiding, Professor Snape came running i looked up and sighed i'm defiantly in trouble now.... great,

He looked at both of us but looked at Malfoy directly "Mr Malfoy I've been watching how you've been treating your fellow classmates and house mates, its very disappointing we may be slytherin's but even we need respect you have detention helping professor Hooch, clean the Quidditch pitch on the big game against Ravenclaw before break and you will not be playing in this up coming Quidditch match now off to class" as he smacks him in the head with a book i try to hold in my laughter. after Draco had stomped angrily away he looked at me, "you cant blow up like that and get special treatment because you're my daughter" he sighed "Detention tonight after class you can help me organize my things for after break and get a lesson plan out" i smiled "that's not much of a detention dad" he smiled "i know but i'm keeping it light since you just got out of infirmary now get to class" i gulped trying to think of what i had this was a deadly task it was Friday, i had missed morning classes and lunch i had two classes of charms and two classes of potions, i ran to the girls dormitory finding my things for charms and potions i grabbed my standard book of spells but also my Quintessence : a quest books for charms class, as i searched and searched for what i needed for potions i grabbed my Magical drafts and potions, and advanced potion making books four text books i ran and ran as fast as i could to charms class.

Class was over i was ready to pull my hair out so i ran down to the 4th floor after being on the 7th floor to get to potions,. my father just looked at me no one was there yet so i ran to the front and threw my charms books into his desk. I took my usual placing in the middle row sort of at the back as others were moving in quickly to there seats i sighed i had just made it in time as people pilled in to class, my father Professor Snape stood looking at all of us as he began to talk " What we learn today some of you will benefit from today's assignment the wit-sharpening potion. perhaps you should begin immediately. This potion which allows the drinker to think more clearly, due to this it acts a counteragent to the Confundus charm" i smiled this would be so simple for me, i grabbed my book and turn to page 481 and found the brewing instructions,

Mix in Ginger Root until lime green.

Mix Armadillo Bile until blue.

Mix Ground Scarab Beetles until red.

Remix Armadillo Bile until red liquid is yellow. (Not dark green)

Remix Ginger Roots until brew is lime green.

Mix Armadillo Bile until the potion is purple.

Allow potion to simmer for 10 minutes.

Add more Ginger Root until the potion is dark orange.

I followed the instructions down to a T i was first one done and first one only able to complete in the two hours we had i smirked as class was over and i started my detention and cleaned up my father spoke to me well i cleaned, " i find it highly remarkable that for once a slytherin over powered miss Granger in her endevers of being a know it all" i chuckled "i am your daughter after all i had to get smarts from some where" i worked for hours helping him plan for the next little while once it became late enough,

Severus had turned his head i was asleep my head on his desk drooling away he smiled and kissed my head "my wonderful and beautiful daughter" he picked me up and carried me to the slytherin common room and laid me to rest up in my dormitory, for the first night in years i felt love as i slipped away in the slumber of night
