Summary: Rose has always been close to her two older sisters. All that changed when the Evans family found out that Lily is a witch. Now Rose is feeling alone because she feels like Lily is leaving her behind and Petunia is now making her life a living hell. This is the life of Rose Evans.
Chapter 1: My Sister is a Witch!
Our house is haunted. It has to be. There is no other explanation of the strange things happening. Random kitchen appliances have vanished, books in the study flung across the room when no one is in there, in the family room the curtains have caught fire twice on two different occasions as well. When I told my parents that I think the house is haunted they just laughed and told me that there are no such things as ghosts. So, I told the only two other people that I knew would believe me, Petunia and Lily, my two older sisters. Petunia is the oldest at 12 years old. She is very tall for her age. That's what mom and dad say anyway. She looks more like dad with her tall thin lanky body, long neck, curly blonde hair and ice blue eyes. Lily is in the middle at 10. Lily took after mom. She is not as tall as Petunia but taller than me. She has moms long red hair and emerald green eyes. I unfortunately have wild curly red hair that mom can't tame, freckle across my nose and dad says that I am going to be the short one in the bunch. My eyes are both my mom and dads. My right eye is ice blue and my left eye is emerald green. I get picked on at school because of my eyes. I get called a freak and loser all the time. Anyway I am getting off topic.
"I'm telling you that this house is haunted." I said while pacing in Lily's room.
Lily is stilling on the floor leaning against the bed reading a book while Petunia is stilling on Lily's bed playing with her hair. We do this every Friday night. Have a sister's slumber party in Lily's room. We sleep in Lily's room because it seems the ghost only follows her. Strange things happen in Lily's room every Friday night.
"What do you want us to do about it? It's not like mom and dad believe us." Petunia said while not looking up from Lily's hair.
"Come here Rose. Let me play with your hair." Lily said while putting her book down.
"But my hair has tangles." I whined not wants my hair yanked on.
"Oh get over here and stop being a baby." Lily said with a smile.
I hung my head in defeat and sat down in front of her. I'm not a baby. Feeling Lily's fingers in my hair relaxed me. I could feel her combing her fingers in my hair. I felt a tug here and there but it wasn't too bad. Lily has magic hands. She is the only one that can tame my hair. When mom or Petunia mess with my hair I feel like they are trying to scalp me.
"How come when Lily plays with your hair you don't throw a fit but when mom or I do you act like we are trying to kill you." Petunia asked in her snooty voice.
"Lily doesn't yank on my hair like you or mom." I said making Lily laugh.
As we sat there, Petunia playing with Lily's hair and Lily playing with mine the radio that was across the room suddenly came to life making me jump. We all froze and looked over at the radio then at each other before laughing.
"Well it was too quiet in here anyway." Lily said shrugging her shoulders.
"At least the ghost has good taste in music." I said as I heard the King of Rock's voice fill the room.
I jumped up and started dancing. Lily and Petunia laughed as I was spinning in circles. As I started to get dizzy I started spinning the other direction. Lily got up and started to spin around with me. Petunia hates dancing herself but loves to watch us. She just sat on the bed and laughed as Lily and I grabbed each other's hands and started to swing each other around. With me being a tiny 8 year old, Lily is able to swing me around so my feet lift from the ground making me squeal with laughter. Once we stopped dancing we fell onto the bed next to Petunia. Oh man! That was fun. I wish we could stay like this forever. The summer is about to end and school is going to start. That means Petunia and Lily will be busy with school and clubs. I will only be able to really see them on the weekends.
"I'm hungry." I said while sitting up and rubbing my tummy.
"You are bored, not hungry." Petunia said making me frown.
"I really am hungry, Tuney. I feel like I might die." I said with wide eyes.
Lily then poked me in my tummy. I jumped and started laughing. How could Lily betray me? How could she tickle me when I am starving? Bad form Lily!
"Don't look at me like that Rosie. Now, let's get some food." Lily said throwing an arm around my shoulders.
"Lily she just ate dinner. How can she be hungry again?" Petunia nagged again.
We just ignored her and walked into the kitchen. Food. I need food. What to eat? I opened the fridge and just stared. Should I heat up what we had for dinner? Should I do something crazy and eat something healthy? I laughed. Healthy? No way! Junk food it is. Turning my head to the counter I saw what I desired. Chocolate cupcakes it is. I grabbed the chocolaty goodness and started to lick the chocolate frosting off first. Lily is eating a green apple. Lily is always eating healthy. She only eats junk food when she is in a bad mood.
"I am going to watch a movie." I said while skipping into my room.
My room and Lily's is my safe haven. When I started to get picked on at school I would hide away in either mine or Lily's room. I looked at stack of movies. What should I watch? The Sword in the Stone it is. I put the movie in and started it. I quickly jumped on my bed and got under the covers. As the beginning credit almost ended and the movie start my door opened and Lily and Petunia came in with a bunch of snacks. They got under the covers with me without saying anything. I love my sisters! My eyes started to feel heavy and I could feel warmth. I am so comfortable. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
Why is it so hot in here? Why can't I move? I opened my eyes and saw that my sisters fell asleep in my room. The TV is still on and all of our trash littered the bed. Petunia is snuggled up against my back. Lily is holding me like a baby in her sleep. I sighed and tried to carefully move so I don't wake them up. I am not really worried about wake Lily up but Petunia can be a real prat in the morning. As I was wiggling around I woke Lily up. She yawned and sat up while rubbing her eyes. I am so jealous. Lily never wakes up with bed head. Me on the other hand looks like my hair is trying to attack me.
"Good morning Rosie." Lily said while stretching.
"Good morning Lilypad." I said while yawning.
We both got out of bed and left Petunia there to sleep. Lily left to her room and grab clothes and take a shower. I started to get my clothes ready so when she is finished I could jump in after her. When Lily finished I went in right after her. What am I going to do today? I think I want to go to the park. When I finished shower and brushing my teeth I put on my shorts and plain green shirt. Lily then came into the bathroom and started braiding my unruly hair. Only Lily can manage my hair. I am going to miss her when school starts. When she finished we both went to the kitchen and saw mom has already started making breakfast. Lily and I both started to help her. Well, Lily helped her cook when I was only allowed to set the table. Dad then came in and kissed the top of my head as he walked by. He did the same with Lily before kissing mom. Lily and I giggled as he did this.
"Lily, do you think we can go to the park today?" I asked her.
"Sure. Can we stop by the library on the way home?" she asked me.
"Yeah."
Petunia came in as soon as breakfast was set at the table. Petunia is not a morning person. Her hair is as crazy as mine. She had circles under her eyes and she grumbled a good morning to us. Mom made my favorite breakfast. Strawberry pancakes! Yummy sugary goodness. I stuffed my face until I felt full. Don't judge me! I love food. When we all were done eating Lily and I left for the park. Lily is wear a white floral summer dress and sandals. Her hair is in two French braids.
The park is empty but that's ok. I just needed to get out of the house. I sat the swing and Lily sat on the one next to it. We just sat there and started to swing. As we started swinging the wind started to pick up. It wasn't windy before was it? It felt like someone was behind me and pushing me making me swing higher and higher. Lily and I were laughing and kept swing our legs. I noticed a boy sitting on top of the monkey bars. He was staring at us. I have never seen him before. He must be new. I pointed him out to Lily. She looked over and stared at the boy. He jumped down from the bars and walked towards us. When he got closer to us I noticed that he is very pale looking. He had long black hair, almost black eyes and a long hook nose. His clothes looked a little tattered.
"You need to be careful before a muggle sees you and you get in trouble." He said looking around worried.
Muggle? What is a muggle? See us do what? I looked at him confused. What is he talking about?
"See us do what? We are just swinging." Lily said as she stopped swinging.
Huh? The wind suddenly stopped. That's weird.
"You used magic in a muggle area. Are you trying to expose us to all the muggles?" he asked agitated.
"What are you talking about?" Lily asked standing up.
I stopped swinging and got off the swing. Why is this boy upset? He looked at Lily confused and tilted his head to the side. His eyes then widened and his mouth hung open.
"You mean you don't know?" he asked in surprise.
"Know what?" Lily asked while crossing her arms.
"You are a witch." He said matter of fact.
"That's a mean thing to say." I said looking upset.
He looked down at me like he just noticed me. He stared at my eyes in surprise. His eyes soften when he looked at me. A smile stretched his face.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean it in a bad way. My name is Severus Snape. I am a wizard." He said now smiling at us.
He then lifted his hand with his palm facing up. He had a rock in the palm of his hand. The rock then started to float in the air. Lily and I looked in shock. Wow! Suddenly the rock was on fire making me jump. Then the rock vanished. Lily and I looked up at him. How did he do that?
"You can do that to." He said grabbing Lily's hand and putting a rock on her hand.
"I can't…"
"Yes you can. You're a witch." He said smiling.
Lily then looked at the rock. The wind suddenly picked up and the rock in her hands started to shake. I started to get scared. The rock that once was in Lily hand flew across the park and hit a tree making me jump. Whoa! That was awesome! We spent all day at the park with Severus. He told us about Hogwarts and that Lily will get a letter to attend real soon. He told us that he is a half-blood wizard. Meaning that his father is a muggle and mother is a witch. He also told us that muggle means non-magical people. He also told Lily that she is a muggle born when she told him that no one in our family is magical. Severus told us as much as he could about the magical world. He says that he has a bunch of books on it and that Lily could borrow them.
"I'm surprised that you are not a witch as well." He said looking at me.
"Why?" I asked confused. Lily looked confused as well.
"Well, usually people with eyes like yours have some type of magical capability. You are a muggle so this is most interesting." He said still looking at me.
I looked down not liking when people talk or stare at my eyes. That is my weakness.
"There are a lot of muggles that have eyes like Rose." Lily stated while patting my shoulder.
"True." Severus said leaving the conversation at that.
"I need to get her home. Can we meet up tomorrow?" Lily asked Severus smiling.
"I would like that." He said smiling back.
"Can I come too?" I asked looking between them.
"Of course." Severus said patting my head making my blush.
Lily and I never went to the library. We made it home just as the street lights came on. Lily and I ate dinner with the family and then retreated to Lily's room. Petunia could tell something was different but didn't say anything. She is going to her friend's house for a sleep over. Lily and I layed on our side facing each other. My sister is a witch. She is the one causing the strange happenings and not a ghost. How are we going to tell mom, dad and Petunia?
What do you think? R&R please!
