Harry, Ron, Hermione in potions the next day after staying up all night talking and gossiping about Snape and his daughter, Senap. The three yawned as they added salamander tail to the potion they were concocting ever so gallantly called: Days Breath which was supposed to give you the best sleep you ever had in your life. 1
The potion came out to thick and green when it was supposed to be a bright yellow liquid, so Snape sent Harry to the potion cabinet to pick up a bit of grounded unicorn horn. Knowing Harry's luck the vile of horn was all the way on the top shelf so he had to get a ladder to reach it. 2
He was still two inches too short to reach it.3
Reaching with all he had he grabbed the vile from the dusty shelf and on came some dust as the vile almost slid from his grasp and he caught it with the other hand. He felt something crinkle under weight of his finger. He felt a little bit more, his curiosity overwhelming he slid it with one finger to the edge of the shelf and it fell to the floor. it was a bit of old parchment with a dusty moth eaten red ribbon so elegantly tied that only a woman could have done it.4
Striking his curiosity he picked the letters off of the dirt covered floor and blew the dust off of the stack of parchment. As he did so words formed on the cover of the yellow parchment, a curly broad handwriting that could belong to nothing but a young woman. It said:5
\To: My Dearest Severus6
\ \ From: Your Love, Harm7
\A snivelling voice rang out into Harry's ears. Bringing him back to the reality that he was in Snapes potion cabinet and he would be caught dead looking at the letters he held in his hands, before he knew it he instinctively pocketed the letters in his robe, just in time to see Snape rear his ugly head.8
"Potter! What are you doing? Planning to steal something else?" He sneered at Harry9
"No, sir, not at all." Harry felt the letters grow heavy in his pocket.10
"Well, get out there and fix that potion!" Harry almost ran out of the potion cabinet, with vile in his hand a smirk grew across his face.11
Hermione yawned as Harry approached his two sleepy eyed colleagues. His smirk grew.12
"I think I have found our name." Harry stated to the two leaning over the potion.13
Hermione's eyes shot open and Ron looked up amazed and confused at the same time. Harry knew this was going to be a long potion class and another long night ahead of them.14

Excellent write but I'm actually really confused. I dont understand who the letters were from. Were they from Hermione or the trio??? Or someone completely different. I think what I'm confused about if this passage:
"I think I have found our name." Harry stated to the two leaning over the potion.
Hermione's eyes shot open and Ron looked up amazed and confused at the same time. Harry knew this was going to be a long potion class and another long night ahead of them.
I'm terribly sorry if i'm being dense but I really don't understand. If you could explain it to me that would be great. I'm really sorry I dont understand. I did like the piece though. I like the name of the potion and all the little details you put in--that made it all the more real. Thank you for entering my contest, good luck, and rock on.
Please IM me or reply to this comment-I really want to understand the ending. -

They are trying to find out who Snape had a child with, more or less--who could be so stupid. I have neglected this series for a short time... So I think I am going to write the book before I post anymore... I got great reviews on them... Along with yours... which I greatly appreciate... But anywho. They are trying to find Senaps mom... This is the chapter after the "Snapes Secret" Did that clear some things up for you?
