Lilianna Snape's POV:
"Hey Lilianna, wake up! You're having a bad dream Snape."
I felt a hand shaking me softly trying desperately to wake me up, but for some reason I couldn't wake up. Suddenly I heard another voice ... a soft and calming female's voice.
• "Anna wake up, you need to get up and start getting stronger. Wake up please. Wake—" •
I sat up quickly, desperately gasping for air. I looked around only to see nobody in the room but the blonde haired boy. He was staring at me still startled by what had just happened, he suddenly got closer and hugged me tightly.
"Lilianna are you okay? You were fine one second and then out of nowhere you started crying in your sleep asking why she would ever leave you and not come back! He paused but worriedly asked again "are you okay?"
"I'm fine Draco, but w-who else was in h-here?!" I asked still looking around the room for the female to match the voice I heard. I realized I was still hugging him back trying to stop myself from crying, but he didn't seem to mind.
After a few minutes, he let go of me and got up "What are you talking about Snape, it's only been you and I in the room since you stepped foot in here last night, there's no on—"
There was a loud knock on our dorm door that interrupted what Draco was trying to say.
"Who the hell is it?" Draco snapped angrily.
"I-it's me, Y/N. Pansy sent me here to tell you guys, you in particular Draco, that breakfast is ready. But I heard Lilianna crying, and was wondering if I could possibly come in, please?" Y/N paused and quickly added "Oh and Lily before you ask it's just me here, Pansy didn't want to come because she was talking to Mattheo and the rest of her friends."
"Alohomora" I whispered towards the door letting the Y/H/C haired girl come in.
I immediately got up from my bed, walked into the bathroom and quickly shut the door behind me not caring enough about Y/N and Draco talking to me, still trying to find out what happened, and if I was actually okay.
I couldn't care ... not right now at least.
*Who's voice did I hear when I was trying to wake up? Was it all a part of the dream, or was there someone trying to communicate with me? Who could it be if it was someone trying to reach me though? Wait, the dream, Why can't I remember the bloody dream ...*
***
After what felt like hours of sitting there and overthinking all the reasons as to why the damn dream I was having wasn't coming back into my head, I gave up.
"Accio towel, bra, panties, black jeans, and School sweater. " I whispered. Magically the clothes appeared in my hands, I smiled at myself proudly as I set them down on the counter by the sink.
I showered quickly, threw on my clothes quickly, did my hair, and brushed my teeth before stepping out of the bathroom and into my dorm. The platinum blonde haired boy stood there looking at me with a blank expression as I came out. Something about the look in his eyes was different though ... I didn't like it.
"Y/L/N said she would wait for us at the great hall with Pansy and the rest of them, but Lilianna I have a few questions" Draco paused getting closer to me placing his wand to my neck tentatively "How the bloody hell did you do that? How are you able you cast spells without your wand hmm? I saw you ... I saw how you unlocked the door without your wand, and now you come out with a pair of clothes you didn't take with you. All while your wand has been in my back packet since I woke you up earlier. Now before you ask me why I have it, just know that I only took it because I was scared you would wake up, grab it and cast a spell at me to defend yourself from whatever was going on in your dream. Now, explain yourself Snape!" He demanded. His whole mood had completely changed. He was confused yet angry at me. When he saw I was so surprised at what was happening and not answering him he shouted " I SAID EXPLAIN YOURSELF, NOW!"
"Malfoy if you don't get that damn wand of yours off my neck, I swear I'm going to Avada Kedavra you." I threatened the blonde haired boy.
"ANSWER ME FIRST SNAPE" he yelled pressing the wand deeper into my neck.
*Accio my wand*
I felt my wand in my right hand and focused on the spell I was about to cast quietly I whispered under my breath ...
"Levicorpus"
"WHAT THE — put me down you freak." Draco screamed in fear.
The boy started levitating from his ankles, I couldn't help but smile at his now terrified face before stepping closer to him and calmly saying "Don't you ever dare think about trying to 'intimidate' me like that again Draco Lucius Malfoy! Just because it works on everyone else in this bloody school, doesn't mean it'll work on me. I'm not scared of you, or your family at that. With that being said, I don't go snooping through your personal life, so please don't start trying to do so with my personal life! Actually now that I'm thinking about it ... Who exactly do you think you are, sitting there and demanding any sort of answers from me like that?" I paused and laughed a little still trying to stay calm "Here I was thinking I could actually be friends with someone like you, how pathetic of me. I know."
With a flick of my wand the spell released the boy, who fell to the ground with a loud thud. I laughed and once again spoke calmly "But since you seem to be so interested in my personal business now Malfoy, you must know that I didn't get the title of greatest witch of our age by simply sitting at home and doing absolutely nothing. Ever since I turned five, my father had me working on verbal spells. Since then I started working my way into shifting those spells to nonverbal ones. Something that I am proud to say, not many wizards or witches in this world can do. I studied and trained my ass off to get to where I am and I'm proud of how far I've gotten. All of this has been possible thanks to my father! He was the only one sitting there and truly believing in me, while other witches and wizards laughed at the mere thought of it." I walked out the door but before I closed it I looked back at him finally snapping at what had just happened "I must say you and Parkinson are meant for each other, you both stood there with your bloody wands to my neck just because you felt threatened over literally NOTHING!" I slammed the door shut behind me leaving the boy too stunned to speak.
***
What a lovely way to spend my first two days here at Hogwarts. I've barely been here for two whole days and I've already had the wands of two different people threatening me.
I headed to my father's office wondering if he was there or if he was already stuck in the Great hall, making sure nothing bad happened to the students.
As soon as I got to the front of his door I knocked lightly, to my relief he was still in there!
"You may enter." he answered in an extremely serious monotonous voice.
I couldn't help but giggle to myself just a little bit. That was his famous 'I'm Professor Snape and I'm the scariest professor here at Hogwarts, feel free to fear me children!' I entered the room still giggling to myself.
"Hi dad, I just wanted to come by and remind you that you're the best father in the world!" I smiled at him and then quickly spat out my question before I could regret it "Father am I a freak, just because of my magical gifts?" I paused but before he could answer me I quickly added "I've been hearing this so much that I'm starting to believe it dad, please tell me it's all a lie ... dad please ... I don't want to be a freak. I don't want to be an outcast ... I don't want to—" I broke down crying before I could finish what I was saying. I felt my father's arms wrap around me as he pulled me closer into his chest. His hug making the crying worse, obviously he noticed but still held me tightly as I let all the tears come out onto his soft robes. He knew I needed this hug more than anything right now.
"Lily, my sweet little girl, please don't ever think or speak of yourself like that ever again. You're truly special and I'm so proud to have you as my daughter. Remember when you were growing up, how I would always tell you that you had the power that any other witch or wizard in this world wishes they could have! Well darling, you still have that power, and you're only going to get stronger as the days pass. You're obviously not a freak darling, you're my special gift sent from up above. You're the best thing that could have ever happened to me Lilianna Marie Snape. If and when the day comes, your gifts will be what truly saves the day." He hugged me tighter as my sobbing calmed down "When the time comes you will understand everything sweetie! I love you Lily, and I will do everything in my power to protect you darling, I promise!" He kissed my forehead as I sat there and sniffled, as my crying came to an end eventually.
*What on earth did he mean by those last sentences? Protect me from what exactly? Ugh why does everything seem to be pushing me to have more and more questions in my head!*
***
I walked to the great hall at my fathers side as we talked about the classes I was placed in, but obviously he already knew my class schedule. I just needed something to talk about to keep my mind running at a million miles per hour.
"Lilianna I have to go help the new Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor. He asked me if I could help me finish setting up his class. "I'll stop by your dorm before I head to bed!" He started walking away before coming to a stop, turning around and asking "Darling do you want to go to Hogsmeade with me tomorrow? I wanted to get you a few things, but I would prefer if you went with me."
I nodded excitedly "I would love to father! I'll be up from early getting ready!" I paused "Also dad ... be careful while helping out Professor Quirrell. Something about him throws me off, I don't know what it is, but just watch yourself okay? I love you father!"
"I love you too darling, don't worry about me though! You know I'll be perfectly fine! I'll see you later Lily Dear, make sure you eat as well please." He turn with a smile on his face, his robe twirling with him. I laughed a little as the air made his robe go up behind him.
As I walked into the great hall I heard Pansy and her friends laughing amongst each other. The second they caught sight of me, my appetite went out the window. Not only because I instantly felt like I was being judged but because they all started laughing louder amongst themselves, even Draco was laughing at me. Everyone in that group quickly started whispering among themselves again. Well everyone, except Y/N and Mattheo. Y/N's Y/E/C eyes met mine and she smiled warmly at me, I smiled back. I grabbed an apple, and a small vine of grapes from the fruit basket on the end of the of the Slytherin table closest to me. I took a bite from the apple and turned to walk out of the Great Hall to avoid having to deal with anyone and everyone in the room. Especially since I could still hear my fellow house members talking and laughing even louder at me now.
"You're all honestly fucking ridiculous, you know that?" Mattheo snapped at everyone sitting at the table "You" he glared at Pansy "you're just jealous because you have eyes for Draco and he's attempting to become the best of friends with Professor Snape's daughter. You're honestly a pathetic excuse for a witch, pugface ... and you" he turned his glare to Draco "Anna saved you from embarrassing yourself even more after Potter rejected your friendship. She did more than anyone else in this pathetic excuse for a friend group did for you that day, and deep down you know it. The funny part is, she didn't have to, but she still did anyways. You had Crabbe and Goyle there, and what did they do? Absolutely nothing. She doesn't deserve what either one of you did to her! My question is, what exactly possessed you both to do something like that to someone who's done absolutely nothing to you? Is it because she's prettier than you Parkinson? Because she more advanced in magic than you Malfoy? Honestly you're both perfect for each other. Same goes for the rest of you here, you guys sit here and worship these two knuckleheads like their gods of something, and what they do and say is what goes! You're all the same! There will be a day that all of you will regret making Anna feel the way she does, hopefully when that day comes, it's not already too late for you all."
A couple Gryffindors including Harry, Ronald, and Hermione were eavesdropping on their conversation started laughing quietly, which caused Draco's face to go red. He glared at them then at Mattheo who was walking towards me. I felt Draco glare at me too. But I couldn't care enough to worry about it. I threw my half eaten apple and the now empty vine of grapes away in the garbage can near me.
I jumped as I felt someone wrap their arm around my shoulders. "Hey Anna, how are you?" Mattheo smiled at me with worried eyes.
I felt my face get slightly red with how close his face was to mine "Oh umm hey Riddle, I'm fine. Don't worry about me, I'm alive." I smiled at him. We started walking out of the Great Hall, leaving it full of whispering coming from all tables about how Snape's daughter was talking with You-Know-Who's son.
*Who would have though that You-Know-Who's son would stand up to all of his friends, for me. Me of all people. Someone who hasn't spoken to him since we got to Hogwarts...*
