Learning to Love the Prince of Slytherin.

Our dinner guest.

~Rose

I was walking towards my mother when I heard a noise.

"Mum?" I said.

"Yes Rose?" She asked.

I didn't say anything but I did point at the floo.

"Are we expecting anyone?" I asked and looked at her.

"I-I don't know." She said.

Then a man stepped out.

"Allison." He said.

"Severus." She said.

There was a a small silence. That silence felt like hours when in the matter it was only seconds.

"Severus Snape." My father then said.

"Matthew West." Snape said.

My father walked towards him and said his welcome.

"I was not surprised to finally hear that the Dark Lord found out about my goddaughter." Snape said.

"What?" I asked and looked confused.

"Rose this is your godfather." My mother said.

"Oh well Good evening Godfather." I said.

"Rose Elizabeth West. You have grown." Snape said.

"Mother?" I called out.

"Yes?" She questioned me.

"Who else knows about me?" I asked.

"The very first ones to know about you are you godparents." My father said very coldly.

"And who is my godmother?" I asked just as cold.

That's when I saw green flames come from the chimney.

"I am." A women said.

A tall woman came out of the chimney.

"Bellatrix LeStrange." My mother said.

"Allison. How are you?" Bellatrix asked.

"Fine and you?" She asked.

"Fine!" My mother said.

Bellatrix then looked at me.

"Ah..Rose my godchild!" Bellatrix said and put her hand on my face.

"Touch my one more time I dare you!" I said and looked at her.

I'm not very open to people at times.

"ROSE!" My father yelled at me.

"Now now Matthew! She knows how to play. Itty, bitty baby." Bellatrix said. "I like you!"

"Likewise." I said and smirked.

But yet I love to see how people react to my inner demons.

"Come dinner is ready." My mother said.

"So tell me Rose what have you been up to?" Bellatrix asked.

"Well godmother-" I started to say.

"Oh please call me Bella." Bellatrix said.

"Alright. Well Bella times have been a little rough but it's probably just a minor bump in the road." I said and looked at my father with daggers.

People have told me that if my looks and glares of anger could kill then half the people at school would be killed.

"Well I see." She said.

"How is school going?" Asked Snape.

"School for me has always come to me easy. Top of the class." I said.

"Boys?" Bella asked.

"Ummm....no." I said. "Not at the moment."

"Oh shame. Such a beautiful girl and no boy." Bella said.

We got to the table and sat down. The house elves served the food.

"Rose you don't eat much do you?" Snape asked.

"Oh no I don't." I said.

"Why is that my dear?" Bella asked.

"I-I play Quidditch and tend to stay in shape by not eating that much." I said.

"Quidditch you say?" Bella asked.

"Yes Bella. I'm a keeper." I said.

"Have you gotten hurt?" My mother asked.

"Yes mother just a few times." I told my mum.

I then took a bit out of my food. My mother just looked at me.

"What?" I asked.

"You never told us that you played." My mother said.

"Father knew and allowed me." I said.

"Of course he knew." My mother said. "And how did you convince him?"

"Please daddy?" I said and looked at her like a baby.

"And you said yes." My mother said.

"She knows me to well." My father said.

My godparents just laughed. We ate and talked about all kinds of things. But then Bella asked me the question.

"Rose darling have you gotten your mark?" Bella asked.

"Yes I just got it today." I said.

"We'll show you ours if you show us yours." Aunt Bella and Uncle Sev said.

I then rolled up my left sleeve and showed them my mark.

"Did it hurt?" Aunt Bella asked.

"No." I said.

"No?" Uncle Sev asked.

"Yup I didn't feel anything." I said.

"No burn no ache no nothing?" They asked in union.

"Nope." I said and rolled my sleeve down.

"Well we must be off." Aunt Bella said.

"Yes I have a class to teach tomorrow and you have school." Uncle Sev said.

"Yes it was nice meeting you Aunt Bella and Uncle Sev." I said and hugged them both.

"It was nice seeing you again too Rose." Aunt Bella said.

"I will see you at school." Uncle Sev said.

My parents and I then waved at them and the floo off.

"I'm going to bed." I said.

"Goodnight baby." My mother said.

"Goodnight Mum." I said and hugged her.

"Goodnight Father." I said and looked at him.

"Goodnight Rose." He said.

I left my parents and went straight to my room. I went to the bathroom and got ready for bed. I was to lazy to change into my p.j.'s so I just laid down in bed and pulled the covers to keep warm and fell right to sleep.
