Today was a special day, for it was Nathara's 11th birthday and the day her Hogwarts letter came. Severus came up to his daughter with a necklace in his hand and told her, "It's charmed to protect you from offensive spells, potions, and it acts as a Portkey to take you to my quarters or the common room. The activation word is ~Harmonia~". The last word was spoken in Parseltongue, but the message was still there.

Luckily, the family of four had already went shopping for Nathara's school supplies the day before, so, all Nathara had to do was pack her trunk. Then, something in her mom's sentence caught her attention. 

"Your quarters?" Nathara asked.

Severus grinned and a glimmer of mischief sparkled in his eye. 

"I'm the new Potions professor at Hogwarts and the Head of Slytherin House. Surprise, snakelet!"

Nathara squealed and hugged Severus tightly. She pulled away and said, "Now that you're a figure of authority at Hogwarts, will I be treated like any other student?"

"That's right. I want the other students to understand that you'll be treated no different than they will just because you're my daughter."

"I understand, Mommy."

Marvolo smiled at his family, wondering how in the world he got so lucky to have them in his life. He had a wonderful husband and two amazing daughters that he would do anything for.

Snowbell was still too little to go to Hogwarts as a student, but she was allowed to go for visits and to see her big sister off.

On Platform 9 3/4..

Nathara, with her hair tied in a ponytail, was excitedly talking to her parents. Upon hearing the train whistle, she hugged her father, kissed her sister on the cheek, and told Severus that she would see him at Hogwarts before boarding the train.
