"Severus? Oh Severus?"
Snape glanced up from the pile of books he'd been sorting through to see Hermione Granger's face peering up from his floo. "I'm here." He said, moving to kneel in front of the grate. "Is something wrong?"
"Oh no nothing's wrong." She shook her head. "And I'm so sorry to disturb you in the middle of your unpacking, but I've been asked to work late this evening and I was wondering if you could watch Sabrina for me? It would give you two a chance to spend some time alone together."
"I would be delighted. Where is she now?"
"Right now she's at the Burrows."
He frowned before speaking slowly. "Did you want me to fetch her from there?"
"Oh no." Hermione laughed. "I wouldn't put you through that. But if you could just floo to my living room around 5:00? I'll have Molly send her home at 5:15."
"She's alright flooing unaccompanied?"
"She does it all the time."
"Well then, I will be in your living room at the appointed time." He inclined his head towards her.
"Oh lovely. I can't thank you enough." Hermione smiled up at him. "There's food in the fridge or if you'd like to go out, Sabrina knows where all the good eateries are in our neighborhood. She'll need a bath around 8:00 and I should be home before 9:00."
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
"Yes I'm sure Molly." Hermione said, her voice exasperated as she stared up at the older woman from inside the fireplace.
"But do you really think it's a wise idea to leave him with her? Alone?"
"Why shouldn't I leave her alone with him? He is her father."
"What about her bath? She'll need a bath this evening."
"Which she is perfectly capable of managing all on her own. She's not an infant for Merlin's sake, she's 11 years old."
"But what does he know about looking after a little girl?" Molly said tersely.
"Oh I don't know." Hermione rolled her eyes dramatically.. "He's only been a Professor and a Head of House since he was 22. They'll be fine."
"I think it would be best if she just stayed here, like she usually does." Molly Weasley said firmly.
"And I think it would be best if she spent time with her father." Hermione said tersely. "Look, I'm not asking for permission. I am telling you to send my daughter home via floo at 5:15. Now thank you and I really must go, I'm late for a meeting. Good day Molly."
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
"Daddy!" Sabrina shouted as she catapulted out of the fireplace and directly at Snape, wrapping her arms tightly around his waist. "I've missed you so much." She cried hugging him fiercely.
It's only been four days since you last saw me." He said gruffly, running his hand down her back. "You couldn't have missed me that much."
"Well I did. Didn't you miss me?"
"Desperately." He said smiling down at her. "Now your Mother said there is food here or we can go out, which would you prefer."
:Out, out, out!" Sabrina cried, jumping up and down in excitement
SSSSSSSSSSSSSS
"It's straight to the bath for you as soon as you're home." Snape said, gazing at the little girl when she slipped her hand into his as they walked along the quiet tree lined street. "Your hand is all sticky and your face is covered in ice cream. I wouldn't want your Mother to think I've been derelict in my duties of caring for you."
"Alright Daddy." Sabrina said swinging their joined hands as they strolled along.
"Is something wrong?" Snape asked. "I couldn't get a word in edgewise at dinner, but now you've grown quite quiet."
"Oh I'm just thinking."
"About?"
"Hogwarts." She sighed heavily. "Daddy everybody in the family is in Gryffindor. Teddy wants to be in Gryffindor too."
"And the problem?"
"Well you're Slytherin. You're even the Head of Slytherin House."
"True. But I'm still not seeing the problem."
"Well what if I'm placed in Gryffindor and I disappoint you? Or what if I'm placed in Slytherin and I disappoint Mummy and the whole family." Her voice broke with emotion.
"Sabrina." He said, stopping and tugging her hand so that she faced him. "I will be proud of you no matter which house you are placed in. And I'm quite sure your Mum feels the same way. We just want you to be happy and to do well in your studies. Which house you are in is of no importance."
"Really?"
"Really." He said firmly. "Now let's get you inside and into a bath."
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
"I'm finished." She said, poking her head around the wall and peering into the living room where Snape sat, thumbing through a magazine. "Can you help me brush and dry my hair?"
"I think I can." Snape muttered under his breath as he rose and followed his pajama clad daughter down the hall and into her room.
"You do know how to do a drying charm, don't you?" Sabrina asked as he lowered himself onto her desk chair and she moved to stand between his legs.
"Oh I believe I may have heard of it once or twice before." Snape drawled as he took the brush in his right hand and slowly pulled it through her wet hair. Raising his left hand he slowly passed it over her head and down her back, wandlessly warming and drying her long black tresses. Sabrina pressed her hands against his knees to steady herself as he slowly brushed and dried her hair. "There." He said when her hair was dry and shiny. "All finished."
"Well done, Daddy." Sabrina said, reaching back to run her fingers through her now dry locks. "Now it's your turn."
"What?" He snorted. "My hair's fine. Nothing needs to be done with my hair."
"Please Daddy." She turned around and stared up at him with large soulful eyes. "Please let me do you hair. Uncle Bill let's Victoire do his hair all the time and I never get to do anyone's hair and I've always wanted to. Please, please, please?" The little girl pleaded.
"Fine." Snape growled.
"Yippee." Sabrina cried happily. Severus' eyes grew wary as she pulled a box of hair ties and barrettes towards them on the desk.
"My hair used to be much longer." He said as she pulled the brush through his shorter locks. "Something like this." He pointed his wand at his head and she squealed in delight as it slowly lengthened to fall past his shoulders.
"That's brilliant, Daddy." She said as she carefully separated small sections of hair and began to braid.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Hermione stepped from fireplace into her darkened living room. Tossing off her outer robes she placed them and her briefcase on the sofa. Moving down the hall, she smiled as heard the soft sounds of conversation drifting through the open door of her daughter's bedroom.
"Hi guys, I'm home. Oh Merlin's Beard!" Hermione pressed her hand to her mouth but was unable to stop the peels of laughter that escaped at the sight before her.
