SS

For years, Severus Snape has managed to keep one enormous secret from Hogwarts: he has a daughter. Her name is Samara Snape. Raised partly in Russia and educated at Koldovstoretz, Samara has spent most of her childhood far from British wizarding society. Her mother is a mystery—one of the few subjects Severus refuses to discuss, even with those closest to him. Only he knows the truth of Samara's parentage, and he intends to keep it that way. That becomes impossible when Samara unexpectedly transfers to Hogwarts for sixth year. She immediately becomes the subject of whispers. With her dark, almost haunting beauty, gothic clothing, unnervingly calm demeanor, and an expression that rarely reveals what she's thinking, Samara looks as though she has wandered straight out of a horror film. Students aren't sure whether they're fascinated by her or afraid of her. And Samara doesn't seem particularly concerned about either reaction.
