(Snape's p.o.v.)

1st September, day of school start. I swear that girl is insane. She crept into my room and pulled off my blankets and screamed straight in my ear "Uppity up sunbeam is here." I got up to glare at her my eardrum resonating still. She laughed at the angry look on my face. I missed that laugh like tinkling crystals in the last two months. It makes me forget my anger at her. I sighed. "Its still early. Very early." I said. She smiled.

"Yeah Dad I know that but I dont want to miss the train." she said pouting with an innocent look. I shook my head. I just hope this laughter is,not a pretense.

"Let's go down for breakfast. I will come after brushing. Go." I told her and she went. I brushed my teeth. The black coffee and smoking had made them yellowish. I cast a charm to whiten them. But the lower ones stayed crooked. I had inherited that and my nose from my father. I walked down without a bath to be greeted by the delocious smell of bacon toast fried eggs and coffee wafting up the stairs. I smiled. She can cook well. But then just as I thought that another smell came up. Burnt bacon. "OH C'MON." I heard her groan. I smiled. She burnt the bacon.

"What's the deicious smell?" I said as I tucked into the kitchen but she thought I was being sarcastic.

"Oh yeah! Be sarcastic now. I did not burn it on purpose. I was looking at the star chart and I got distracted and.." she trailed off.

"It's okay dahlin'. I am sure the rest is good. Sit now. Eat it fast. We need to get you on the train."

"Yeah right." she muttered and tucked in. Finishing the brrakfast we both got up to go and change. The breakfast was really good. But she had made a real mess of the kitchen. I would take quite a lot of time to be done with the clearing up.

(Shine's p.o.v.)

I walked up the stairs. I was yet to take a bath and,get ready. It was 9 already. I hurried up the stairs and reached my room. I locked it from the inside before going in for a bath. While bathing I realised the reason for my cramps was just monthly periods. Merlin I seriously hate periods. They are so bloody sticky and crampy and crappy.

****

Dad had been real confused when I had my first period. It was vacations before my third year at Durmstrang. I wasnt even twelve. I was in the bathroom peeing. And I screamed. He came rushing and knocked to ask me what the matter was.

"There's blood in my urine." I said confused.

"Blood? But how?" he asked similarly confused.

"I dont know. My tummy hurts too. Its been hurting since morning." I said and suddenly unferstanding crossed his face.

"Oh! Well I dont think I am the right person to tell you this. But well Ithinkyouarehavingperiods." he muttered the first part real slow and the last very fast and low. I could barely get what he had said.

"What?" I asked still confused. "Yeah exactly that." he muttered.

"No, no, no. You lost me there. I dont get a word of what you are saying." I said and he pinched the bridge of his nose before taking a deep breath.

"You see when girls come off age or enter puberty." he started but pinched the bridge of his,nose again."Merlin this is so awkward. Do you need it to be me to tell you or can I get Madam Pomfrey or Dumbledore?" he asked.

"No I dont want to tell them." I said slightly emberassed about making the condition public.

"Oh. Okay. So where were we? Yeah. Let's go and sit down first." he said picking me up bridal style and walking to the living room and setting me on the soft armchair. He pulled up the other chair in front of me.

"So as I was saying, girls enter puberty and certain changes take place in their body and they begin the transformation into becoming a woman. Having your periods is one of the major steps. Your breasts develop later on and then you know the figure develops. And hair grows in your groin region and armpits-" I remember having the same discussion at school with the house Matron. They did given the girls as well as boys,the sex talk last year. But, how to say this, she had told it all a bit more differently. And then, well, the boy thing and actual sex stuff, well, Adrian. You could thank him for that. What? He's,like a brother, okay? And such stuff happens. Havent you heard about dirty jokes?

I decided to tease up Dad a little bit.

"Gross." I said with a slight grimace. "Shine Snape. I really am not enjoying this discussion and you are not helping."

"Oh okay. I guess I will shut up." I muttered.

"No. Ask if you have a doubt. Just dont comment."

"So. What in case of boys?"

"Well, they turn into men."

"You mean Ron, Fred, George, Adrian, Vlad and Tony too?"

"Ron yes. The others they are already in puberty. But they dont have periods. They well, they may have nightfall. Erection-"

"You lost me yet again." I muttered. Obviously I know what that is. Its the old boner.

"You really dont want this. Its sex talk."

"Oh then I guess I know that." I said even before I realised what I said. He raised an eyebrow at me. "I heard Vlad say to Tony that he got his old boner whennever he saw me. So I asked Adrian what that meant. I did not tell him where I heard that. But he started laughing at first and then he told me blushing what boys call the boner." I said blushing.

Dad had a real shocked look on his face. He muttered something that sounded like 'Gets a boner looking at her. Asked a boy what a boner means. Guts of that girl.'

"Dad?" I asked breaking his trance. "Huh? I am here. Am here." he,muttered distracted.

"So you know already what they do when they produce babies.?" he asked.

"Yeah. Kinda." I blushed.

"Good that's good. Really good." he said still reviving from the shock.

I smiled at the memory. I turned off the shower and wrapped a towel around me before getting out. I changed quickly into a racerback bra blue full sleeved fitting cotton tee. I pulled on skinny jeans and tucked in the tee. I wore a thin belt. And I pulled up ankle length spiked military boots. I tucked in my jeans. I was looking really cool. I walked down carrying my trunk. And saw Dad raise an eyebrow at my dressing style. All dark blue. I almost looked goth with the kohl I was wearing.

"Ready to go?" I asked him.

"Its still long time. You are going to be really early."

"I know Dad. I want a decent seat."

"Okay. Lets leave." he said holding out one hand to me. He took his luggage in one hand. His small white and gold owl rested on his shoulder. Nins hadnt got back yet. He would rejoin me directly at Hogwarts. And we apparated. He told me of the barrier between nine and train and dropped me off near it. After that he left to find a spot to apparate to Hogwarts from.

§¤§¤§¤§¤

I found a trolley and put my trunk in it. I started in a run and as I neared the barrier I awaited the crash that never came and suddenly I was surrounded in steam. I saw a huge red train standing on the platform.

I entered the train. The number of people on the platform was less. And by the looks of it neither the Weasleys nor Malfoys were here. I pulled my heavy trunk with me and entered the nearest compartment. Surprise. There was no one in there. I looked at my serpent watch. I was an hour early. I decided to take a short nap. I was feeling sleepy. I yawned as I sat on the train seat removed my shoes and curled up my head in my lap hidden from view by my hair.

I woke half an hour later by the sliding of the compartment door. A man stood there. He had gold eyes and sandy brown hair. There were grey strands in between. And he looked really tired. He was wearing a old robe that was torn at places. He had a weary look in those eyes. I thought it was some anxious parent who had come in on the train with the kid's trunk. I looked at the trunk and read the name tag. 'R. J. Lupin.'

"Uhm...hello." I muttered. He looked at me and smiled. "Hey." he said in reply. This was really awkward.

"I guess I will find another compartment." he muttered before starting to close the door.

"Oh no its okay. I am alone. Your kid can sit with me." I said.

He looked around confused. "My kid?" he asked me. Okay. I swear to the dark lord this guy is dumb. "Sir, the one whose bag you are holding." I said with as much politeness as I could manage with my voice slow as if I was talking to some retard.

"Oh, that!" he laughed at me humorlessly. Yeah that retard. "Its mine."

"Yours?" I asked surprised "But arent you a bit old to start Hogwarts? I mean I am starting this year only too. But am still fourteen. And am a transfer student."

"Oh am not a student." he said putting down his trunk and sitting opposite me. "I am the new DADA proffesor." he said smiling obviously proud of himself.

I snorted. He looked at me questioningly. I just shook my head. He raised an eyebrow. "Well with the history of those. I wouldnt be surprised if you are a vampire." I said and he flinched. "Are you?" I asked teasingly raising an eyebrow. He looked shocked. I started laughing. "Dont worry. Even if you are your secret is safe with me."

"You are spunky. I guess I must watch out for you. Not afraid of teachers?" he asked.

"Nope. I live with the scariest of them. How could I be afraid of one?" I replied.

"Who?" he asked curious.

"Severus Snape is my father." I replied and the look on his face was that of utter horror. Priceless. I swear I wish I had a camera.

"Oh well. You look nothing like him." he said. I know from his expression that he wanted to say,' It is a good thing I suppose.' but he did not.

"I am adopted." I told him.

"Oh well that explains a lot" he said. I raised an eyebrow to ask what it explains but he did not say a word.

After some time he said."I am a bit tired. I will doze off."

"Sure prof." I muttered as I pulled out a book to read. It was about horcruxes and stuff. I sat quietly reading getting absorbed in the book yet again before the door opened again.
