Snape POV Severus Snape was pacing around in his private study, his mind reeling with everything that had just happened. Dumbledore had to tell him now, of all times that he had a daughter. After 10 damn years of ignorance and bliss (and hatred for Potter) he told him.

'Wonderful' Snape thought. He used...who's he kidding he still cursed the name Potter and sometimes Evans. Potter was, of cource the arrogant, no-good bully prat who had stolen his love. Lily went with him, refusing to look back to gaze at her former best friend, but had forgiven him.

Well, it turns out he had impregnated her. It was when he had meet up with her, after 3 years of lonliness. They had both gotton so drunk, and woke up, in each others arms the next day. They swore never to talk or think about it, (although sometimes Snape took a little peek at the memory) and Serverus had never given it detailed thought. All of a sudden, Severus stopped pacing.

What if she was spoiled at her relatives house? She would obviously want to stay there and not go with him. He couldn't steal her away, against her own wishes. If word got out, he might go to Azkaban or have the Dark Lord find out about it. A few minutes later, he got up and apparated to Number 4 Privet Drive.

Harrietta Lily Evans POV: Harrietta Lily Evans( her name was never Harrietta Lily Potter or Snape in the record) was about to turn 10. Right about to. She looked at the watch she had nicked from Dudley (It was a very old one the spoiled prince would never miss) and closed her eyes. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, make a wish, Harry." She whispered. She blew out the candles off her dust cake on the floor in her cupboard. "I wish someone would come and take me away from this place. " She whispered

She blew out the candle and waited for a minute. Nothing happened. (A.N XD thought Snapey would come didn't youy :D) Nothing happened, like nothing happened every year she wished for it. She closed her eyes and willed herself to sleep.

After all, she had many chores to do the next day, anyway. And if she didn't do it...well g-d help her from her Uncle, his scorn, or his belt. "Good night.." She whispered to no one in particular, and slowly drifted to sleep, not knowing what would happen tommorow, or how it would change her entire life.
