Hello All! Sorry about the long wait. I've been Busy trying to pass Exams so I can graduate which I did YAY me!

anyways I hope you like this chapter.

Severus Snape was worried; not that you could guess with his face neutral and his stance the usual stiffness he is always seen with.

He stalked the hallways looking frantically for the missing girl. How had she slipped by him? Oh right he was in rant mode. He ran passed an open door quickly glancing inside nothing in there but the other professors relaxing and talking.

And they said they were too busy to watch the girl! Liars! Snape thought with a sneer.

He quickly ran past only to stop in his tracks when a voice called out to him.

"Severus! What is the hurry? And where is the young girl that is supposed to be with you?" questioned a stern faced Minerva.

He winced and closed his eyes. Why did he have to run into the one teacher he still held a slight fear of from his younger years?

He turned to her with a bored look on his face

"I'm in no hurry Minerva." Severus said in a bored tone.

"Really", Minerva sounded unconvinced. "Well then where's the girl?" You haven't lost her have you?"

He looked at her and scoffed

"Of course I haven't lost her. I just don't know her exact location at this time."

Silence was what met that statement.

"Merlin you actually lost the poor girl!" Minerva chocked out in shock.

Severus sneered at her and the others that came out to see the commotion.

"I didn't even want to watch the bloody girl in the first place! And it wasn't my fault she slipped out the door while my back was turned." He argued.

They all looked like they highly doubted that.

"Enough of this!" they all turned to Albus who appeared mysteriously like always "We must find her."

All the Professors scattered looking for the poor, probably frantic little girl; leaving Severus standing in a now deserted hallway.

He frowned and turned on his heel his robes billowing behind him.

Where can that troublesome girl gone? He thought once more while walking up the stair.

Just as he was about to take the last step, the stairs started to shake, and creak, he quickly grabbed onto the railing to keep from falling down the steps. The staircase moved and came to a stop in front of a large, old wooded door that had the Hogwarts Crest in the center of it. Severus slowly went to open the door he peered around the edge of the door to see a long hallway with seven different doors. He stepped in and walked until he reached the first door. Curiosity got the better of him, and tried to open it only to be shocked. He gasped and let go and looked at his palm there was the symbol of a red lion. He blinked and it was gone. His eyes furrowed and he looked at the door again. It was red wood with gold hinges and a lion in the center.

That's oddly Gryffindor Severus thought with a sneer.

He looked to the others:

One was a dark green with silver hinges with snakes Slytherin

Next it was a dark blue door with bronze hinges an eagle standing tall in the center, Ravenclaw.

The final door with any color or symbol on it was a Honey colored door with black hinges and a badger as its symbol Hufflepuff.

Before he could think any more on the odd doors that he couldn't enter he heard a little girl laugh. He turned to the door at the end of the hallway. He noticed it was slightly ajar, walking over he looked into the crack to see a little girl with short curly bluish black hair running around trying to catch a Blue Phoenix. She tripped over the carped and fell, once she sat up the rare bird landed on her shoulder and nipped at her ear affectionately causing her to giggle. The bird looked up at the door and it's ember colored eyes caught Severus's black ones.

Severus opened the door with a frown he quickly looked around the room looked like all the houses common rooms put together he looked at the little girl who now was looking at him in shock and slight fright.

"So this is where you were hiding." He drawled looked around once more.

She pale girl looked away sadly the Phoenix on her shoulder nuzzled her cheek trying to cheer her up again. While it glared at the offending man in the room.

Severus let out a sigh as he sat down onto the black chair nearest her.

"Hey, I-I'm sorry for snapping like that earlier ok." He said swallowing his pride to apologize, it tasted bitter.

The girl still looking down mumbled something and his eyes widened.

"W-what did you say?" He asked not quite hearing her and hope she would speak again.

She took a deep breath in and then exhaled as she turned to look at him, yet still not looking at him in the eyes.

"I-I said I was sorry." She sniffled a little and continued "I just w-wanted to help y-you clean up I didn't m-mean for the shelf to fall honest!" she pleaded to him tears threatening to fall.

Snape at back looking at as the wait for him to say something, finally he leaned forward again.

"You want me to forgive I presume?" he asked.

Her silver and gold eyes widen and she nodded eagerly causing his lips to twitch.

"Ok I'll forgive on two conditions." He said with smugness in his voice, she nodded none the less.

"One you will start to talk, were not mind reader….well…we at least can't read you mind anyways. Two tell me your name already referring you as girl is growing tiresome."

The little girl looked sheepish but smiled.

"Ok my name is Alison, Alison Fay." She said looking away in embarrassment.

"Well than Miss Fay I do believe it is time we find the others; after all there is a search party out the looing for you." Severus stated as he stood.

Alison giggled and the Phoenix happily sang softly.

As Severus held the door open for her, he had a thought.

"Miss Fay…how did you find this area of the Castle? I doubt the Headmaster even knows it's here."

She shrugged as she walked down the hallway stroking the blue bird that still was on her shoulder.

"The Castle told me." She stated simply.

Severus's head snapped to look at her, but she wasn't paying attention.

The Castle told her? How…? He thought confused.

As they walked out the door he noticed a sign by the door it read:

Founders Chambers

As he finished reading it the sign and door disappeared as the stairs moved and went back to normal. Severus looked back to the young girl who was happily talking to the Phoenix; the bird just gave him a knowing look.

Well there ya go and its pretty long too!

Ok people I'm going to need ya help ok.

1. Should Dumbledore be bad or not?

2. give me some names for the Blue Phoenix cause I don't know what to call em (Depending the name will decide if its a male or female.)

3. Draco and his family what about them? make them good? or not?

If I have any more question on what you want to see in this story (you know the little things) I ask at the bottom of the chapters.
