Chapter 6: First visit to Gringotts ll

Chapter 6

When my father finally looks at me and we lock eyes, and I feel a slight pressure in my head and glare at him. I known he won't be able to get threw, so I don't even blink. "Don't be rude" I say, he just nods and looks at the paper in his hand, and it bursts into flames and he turns to Bogrog, "I'd like to make her an account attached to mine and set up an allowance. Are you able to get adoption papers, I would rather not go back to that muggle orphanage." He looks at me "Do you have anything left at the orphanage?"

"No sir" I reply "Good, we can just buy you everything you need with your school stuff today." *At least it's only 9am, we probably won't be done until just before super.* He turns back to Bogrog, and the goblin says "We can do the adoption here. But Mrs Potter has already set up an account for Ms Snape when she was Ms Evans. But before you can see the account records we must finalize the adoption papers."

I look to my father and he looks at me he looks confused and I try to look surprised, after all I heard the goblins talking about it already *Still I can't believe she set me up an account… Maybe she is trying to make up for abandoning me at a muggle orphanage... I don't know.* He looks to Bogrog and says "Very well, let's go ahead with the adoption papers!" As they are singing the papers, I just can't help but be surprised he's taking custody over me. *Maybe he really doesn't believe the dark lord will come back, or maybe Dumbledore convinced him to take me in? Unlikely because I would be a liability, something they could use against my father as a spy, and dumbledore can just use the knowledge of me to guilt my father...*

After everything was signed Bogrog says "Ok Mr Snape you now have full custody of Ms Snape. Here in the account information." He slides a folder our way and I glance over my father's shoulder much like he did to me but with more difficulty. I'm shorter…

Selina L. Snape

Savings Account of 0.5% interest, until Hogwarts age then converts into spending account. Opened August 10th 1976. Deposited 493,000 Pound Sterling, converted into 100,000 Gallions. Today holding: 105,639 Gallions, 9 Sickles, 25 Knuts. Also contains 1 small box.

The only thing I can think is *What? Why so much? And How?...* but all I really want to know is... "What does the L in my name stand for?" My father asks. "Let's see, her full name is Selina Liliana Snape!" Bogrog says looking at a paper. "Liliana… After her favorite grandmother, the one she was named for… What I want to known is how at 16 years old she came up with this kind of money?"

Bogrog shuffled some papers around, "Well a few days after Ms Snapes birth Mrs Potter inherited some money from her muggle aunt, Helen Scott I believe her name was. She then came here and opened an account for Ms Snape and deposited all of the money from her aunt into the account. She also left this box for your eyes only Ms. Snape." he hands me a box and I take it and open it.

It's filled with letters and the box is deeper than it looks. Most of the letters seem to be opened and upon closer inspection the letters are from my father to my mother… But the letter on top is sealed and addressed to me. *Must be from her to me… I don't really want to deal with this right now.* I put the box back as it was and close it. I notice my father was paying attention to what was in the box with a frown.

He then goes back to talking with Bogrog "Let's leave that as a saving account and make a separate spending account with 600 Gallions and I'd like to set up an allowance of 150 Gallions a month unless I say otherwise. Starting next month. Let lock the savings until she is 17 years old then she was full access to all of it." As Bogrog nods and starts the paperwork, my father turns to me "I want you to work hard in school if I feel like you are slacking off I will put a freeze on your spending account, until i feel as though you caught up. Understood Selly?"

I'm in a kind of shocked state at the moment *That's a lot of money… Wow he thought this out, how much does he make to be able to give me 150 Gallions a month!!! That's 1,800 a year which converts to 8,874 pounds a year OR in USA dollars 11,952$!!! I wonder if I can convince him to invest some* "Umm y-yeah I understand… Could I invest some of the money in the savings account into some businesses?" *Wait! He called me Selly!* He looks at me for a long minute "Which businesses?"

"Apple, Samsung, the Apothecary, Flourish and Blotts, Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions, Ollivanders wands… The first two are muggle businesses… I was thinking 2,000 gallons split between them?" He stares at me for a long minute I then explain to him what I can about the businesses and what I know about the muggle world and how it makes sense they don't have magic they need other things to make their lives better. After my long speech he is still staring at me and then turns to Bogrog. "What do you known of these businesses? Are they good investments choices?"

Bogrog nods "What Ms Snape explained is more detailed info on what I know." My father nods "Very well 2,000 gallions towards those investments." He looks back to me "Why don't you pull out some money to buy yourself some personal items to decorate your room, don't go crazy though, but I will be buying you all your school supplies and knew clothing and furniture for your room!" *Wow someone spending so much on me… not even in my old lift…* I nod and say "Ok umm I would like 300 gallions please, and would you happen to have a money pouch?" The goblin nods and summons a bag from one of the cabinets near the door "It's free of charge after all the business we've done today." he use his goblin magic on the bag. "It's connected to your valt now and can convert to muggle money."

"Wow, thank you." after that my father signed a bunch of stuff we left. I follow him to Madam Malkin's and when we get inside she come up to us having just finished with the last person "Hello Professor!" she looks at me "Hogwarts dear?" I nod, and my father says "Let's also get her a full wardrobe including some muggle clothing and 2 winter clocks. The best material you have with all the same enchantments as my usual"

We get lunch after an hour looking at clothes which will be sent to spinner's end when their done. After lunch he lets me go to the muggle side of the pub and get myself bathroom and beauty supplies while he gets the furnisher for my room. After that we get my school trunk next and he gets me a 4 compartment trunk! One for clothes, one for potion supplies, a library, and one for miscellaneous items that is bottomless. Along with all my school supplies I got extra books and lots of potion supplies (with the promise to to mess with them until he can work with me) and my wand.


Chapter 7: Incident in house of Snape

Chapter 7

Walking up to Ollivanders narrow and shabby shop, with peeling gold letters over the door of the shop read: Ollivanders: Makers of Fine Wands since 382 B.C. The shop's display consisted of a solitary wand lying on a faded purple cushion in the dusty window. In side the shop was tiny, and empty except for a single, spindly chair in the corner. There are thousands of narrow boxes containing wands piled right up to the ceiling of the tiny shop, and the whole place had a thin layer of dust about it.

The bell chimed as we walked in and an old man with pale silvery eyes, wild white hair and almost white skin walked out the make room. "Ah Professor Snape, Pine wood Dragon heartstring 13¼ I alway remember the wands I sell no matter how old I get, welcome." He spots me "Ah and who might you be?" smiling kindly I say "Selly Snape!" He seemed startled a moment but then looks closer "Ah yes I see it now and a little of your mother in their, Willow wood Unicorn hair 10¼ her wand was made for Charm work." I just stare at him slightly surprised. *He must be looking at my magical core… Maybe...* He disappear behind a self.

The first wand I tried shattered all the windows in the shop. The second exploded four different flower pots one after another… But the third I felt power flow through me and my hair flowed with it. "Ah Blackthorn, which is a very unusual wand wood, has the reputation, in my view well-merited, of being best suited to a warrior. With a Horned Serpent horn, the wands made from this core were exceptional powerful. They were also sensitive to Parseltongue and warn its owner of danger by emitting a low musical tone. Best listen carefully. Interesting very interesting..." The wand maker said. The wand was a thorny black wood with a brown round silinder at the end of the handle. I look to my father is looking at me with concern until he notice me look than a small smile appeared and he nodded.

After that we left for the apperation spot, we stood side by side, looking across the road at the rows and rows of dilapidated brick houses, their windows dull and blind in the darkness. As they walked down past 5 houses I noticed a chilly mist... drifted over a dirty river that wound between overgrown, rubbish-strewn banks. There was no sound apart from the whisper of the black water and no sign of life apart from a scrawny fox with half one of it's ears missing, that had slunk down the bank to nose hopefully at some old fish-and-chip wrappings in the tall grass. I notice immense chimney, relic of a disused mill, reared up, shadowy and ominous.

We arrived at the house that is now my home, we stepped directly into a tiny sitting room, where had the feeling of a dark padded cell. The walls were completely covered in books, most of them bound in old black or brown leather, there was a threadbare sofa, an old armchair and a rickety table stood grouped together in a pool of dim light cast by a candle-filled lamp hung from the ceiling. The place had an air of neglect, as though it was not usually inhabited. My father's home stood at least two stories high, and has hidden doors set in the wall of books revealed a narrow, ascending staircase, while another that leads to a storeroom where elf-made wine was kept. As all the doors are completely hidden, the first room upon entry has the feeling of a prison cell. *At least there are lots of books*

"We will get you settled in today and I'll clean and fix the bathroom while you are putting away your things. Tomorrow you can start looking at your book and I'll fix up the rest of the house. I don't normally stay here often so the house is a little disarray right now." He walks towards the bookshelf farthest from the door "I have already keyed you into the wards you will be able the acesset all the rooms but the storeroom and basement were my lab is." I nod.

Before opening the bookshelf in front of him he points out the way to the kitchen which has a quarter bathroom attached. He shows me how to open the door and we go up stares and he explains on the way up "At the end of the hall on the left is the master bedroom with a master bath which is mine. Across from that is your room right next to your room is the bathroom and on the other side of that is a guest bedroom. Across from the guest room is a closet filled with extra pillows, pillow cases, blankets, and sheets. Stay out of the bathroom for now it's a mess."

He opens the door to my new room and it's a decent size, the walls are white and the carpet a dork jade color. There is a little window on the wall left of the door facing the backyard, my father walks over to it and turns it into a big bay window with a reading bench. *Wow kool!!!* There is a walk in closet on the right side of the room also! "Wow this house is bigger than it looks" I say. "Yes after my father finally died and I inherited the place, and I magicly extended a lot of the rooms. This room used to be mine…" He starts vanishing the old furnisher in the room. "Wow really? Kool!" *I known he had a horrible childhood in this house but I can't help but feel a strong connection to it, like I'm connected to him. Besides I get the feeling he will be a way better father to me than his father was to him!* He looks confused but does not comment and starts adding bookshelves into the wall around the window, then pulls out my new furnisher out of his pocket and resizing it.

"Where do you want this?" He's holding a full length mirror. I tell him to put it on the wall next to the closet door. Next we put the queen size bed against to wall opposite the door but closer to the window leaving plenty room for walking. It's a big room! Next is a dresser which we put in the back of the closet. He also got me a small vanity and a desk. We put the desk next to the door on the left side and the vanity next to the bed. All set and done it was wonderful, and rose red… which is bring charm to house. "If you don't like the color you will have to research the spell to change it yourself but it is a second year spell so good luck. I have place wards around this house so you can practice magic, BE CAREFUL and if you have questions ask them. DO NOT tell anyone about the wards understood?"

"Yes sir and thank you, I love it!" I smile and he nods "I'll be in the bathroom. I'll let you known when supper is ready." and with that he left me to unpack the rest which is all in my school trunk at the end of my bed. I put all my non-school clothes in my closet and my new undergarments in the dresser. I leave my school supplies in the trunk, and pull out all the extra books I got today and put them away in my bookshelves.

Next I pull out jaxs cat bed and cat tree which was difficult, it's huge. I put the tree in the corner to the right of the door and jaxs bed between mine and my vanity. I don't think he will sleep there, because at the orphanage he slept with me. But father insisted. I also pull out his cat toys and put them by his tree.

I put all the bathroom supplies in a bin I got while shopping, and put my little bit of makeup I got in my vanity with my new brush. *My own brush no more sharing!!!* I put the bin on the vanity for now. I pull out my Potions, Charms, and DADA school books and put them on my bedside table for now.

Once done I take a step back and look at my room. *Wow it's perfect!* Than I notice something's missing.*Where the fuck is jax?* I hadn't seen him since we got here. And just like magic I hear CRASH CRASH CRASH from down stars. *Shit* I run out the room and down the stairs. Once down in the greeting/sitting room I noticed a book shelf open and here "What did you do you best? OH SHIT!" is father.

Walking threw the book self I see the kitchen and their is glass all over the floor. Father is against the wall close to the door and jax is Huge! "jax! What did you do? We've not been here more the 4 hours and your already breaking shit! This is our home now behave! Are you hungry?" I notice a back door on the other side of the glass that seems to be glass tumblers (whisky drinking cups) I wave my hand at the glass and it disappears. Than walk over to the door and open it "Shrink down turn invisible and go hunt I'll open my bedroom window for you. Don't get cot!" We lock eyes *Sorry sister, I'll be more careful* I nod and jax runs out.

Closing the door I look at my father he seems stunned. "jax said he was sorry… He can communicate threw Legilimens…" He looks around the room and floor than back at me. "What exactly is that thing?" he asks a little calmer now. I sigh, "Ah he's a Nu'wam. He is a crossbreeding of a Nundu and a Wampus cat. He is the fastest creature on earth, he's immune to almost all spells known, he has the hardest and deadliest claws and really powerful bite, he is a natural Legilimency, he can also turn invisible, he is able to change his size like an Occamy maybe he will have other powers later, his tail, mane, claws and fangs have the highest toxic poisons ever know. Last year we found out he has a death breath like a Nundu but don't worry his saliva can secretes a natural anti toxic substance is the only known antidote for his venom and his death breath… He's also intelligent."

He just stares at me for five minutes… "How did you find such a creacher?" he asks finally, "Oh he saves me at the zoo 6 years ago. Some older girls tossed me in the leopards pit and jax showed up out of nowhere and scared the leopard away. But I think we were bonded before than. I had a dream the night before we went to the zoo about jax escaping from some crazy sciences." he sighs.

"Let just keep the fact that he is poisons and has a death breath a secret… Especially if you plan on bringing the... fuzzball to school." He starts cooking supper, "Can I help I'm done in my room?" I ask and he nods and we make lemon pepper chicken and garlic mashed potatoes.

The rest of the summer was spent reading all my knew books and brewing with my father! After all it would not do for the Potions Master's daughter to not known the potion basics, father even says I have talent! I also practice my magic.
