I was never like the other Slytherins. I am not vain, I have courage, I am smart, and I am humble. This qualified me for 3 of the 4 Hogwarts houses. What tipped it over the edge, putting me in Slytherin, though, was my cunning, my dealing in secrets and lies, and my ability to disappear unnoticed.

My name is Sparkle Snape, but I didn't know that this was my true last name until my first year of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Xenophilius Lovegood had always told me that I was his daughter.

But when it came time for the Sorting, the Sorting Hat told me it was putting me in the same house as my father. So naturally, I assumed I was being put in Ravenclaw.

The Sorting Hat then told me I had been taken into the Lovegood family because my parents had been Deatheaters, and my mother left my father while pregnant, just because my father came back to the good side.

The first day I had potions class, I discovered my true father was the potions master, Severus Snape.

Since I was lied to so much early on in life, I hate all people, even other Slytherins. I avoid all social events when I can, and there is only one exception from that.

My fourth year, Draco Malfoy asked me to go to the Yule Ball with him. Of course, he was only doing this on my father's wishes, because Malfoy hates me strongly. I just returned the favor. I only agreed on my father's wishes,  because my father thought I was becoming too distant from people, preferring the company of animals.

I had a separate room off of the Slytherin common room, and I always wore a hoodie that was a couple sizes too big. This is how I secluded myself,  and I was never questioned.

Now I am starting my sixth year, and things were already strange at the end of last year. Malfoy has been staring at me of late, and it is disconcerting. The look contains a dreamy, disconnected attitude, with a little bit of desire, and mostly, do I dare say it, lust.

We hate each other, and that is how it will stay.

Also, Harry Potter, almost everyone has heard of the boy who lived. He tried to get me to go to the Yule Ball with him. I had already agreed to go with Malfoy, plus, I hate Potter too. I hate everyone.

This is definitely going to be an interesting year, because Voldemort is back. No, I do not support him, nor will I ever.
