Me: Noticed a few mistakes here and there so I'm planning to rewrite this story as well.
Summary: Lily couldn't take it anymore to see her youngest son being treated so badly. She decided enough was enough and flees the wizarding world with young Harry. There she meet an old friend and discovered something from her parents rather shocking to say the least
Bashing: James Potter, Sirius Black (a bit), the Weasley's (except the twins) and Dumbledore
I don't own Harry Potter as all credit goes to J.K Rowling.
-1985-
"James, I've had it up to here! Why can't you treat Harry the same way as Alex?!" snapped Lily Potter nee Evans while holding onto her sobbing 5 year old son.
James Potter looked at his youngest son with disgrace.
"You heard what Dumbledore said Lily! Voldemort may be gone for now but someday that bastard will return! Alex is the one from the prophecy and is marked the Boy-Who-Lived after defending him!"
Lily shook her head while having tears running down her eyes.
"You've changed James…where is that wonderful man I fell in love with? Where is that wonderful Father who showed so much love to his both children?"
"Lily," said James softly as he step closer to his wife.
Lily step back, "You played with both boys along with Sirius and Remus but ever since that Halloween night, you neglected your second son and only paid attention to Alex."
"Please Lily, you must understand that Alex is special," stated James before frowning. "Merlin, that brat has not shown any accidently magic while Alex started at the age two!"
Lily widens her eyes as she couldn't believe that James called Harry, a brat. She shook her head before looking over to James firmly.
"Are you positive that it is Alex? Ever think that it could have been Harry? Whenever Alex does his 'accidently magic', Harry is with him."
"Well it could be possible that Alex was showing that brat amazing he did," said James.
Lily sighs sadly before holding onto her youngest son. She turned around before looking back to her uncaring husband that she once loved.
"I'm sorry James but…I'm tired of this. I'm going to feed Harry something before putting him to his afternoon nap."
James scratched his head, "Um sure, whatever. I'm going to see if Alex is awake yet. When you are done with the brat, meet us outside as I was planning to take Alex a little joy ride on the broom."
Lily didn't say anything and waited until her husband walked away from her. She leaned over to Harry's ear, "Not too worry sweetie. You will not suffer any more of this even…even if it means we have to disappear from the Wizarding world – together. I promise."
-Evans' Residence, 9:30 pm-
Rose Evans nee Patel was finishing up cleaning up from dinner when she heard a knock from the front door. She had a confuse look on her face before drying her hands and walked over to opened the door.
"Now who would be knocking around this hour?"
Rose grabbed the knob and opened the front door to find her youngest daughter, Lily and her grandson, Harry at the entrance.
"Oh Lily dear, what are you doing here this late at night honey?"
"Can…Can I come in Mom?" asked Lily softly.
Rose frowned a bit before nodding and stepped aside to let her daughter come in. That's when she noticed the dried up tears on her cheeks and her puffy red eyes.
"Something happen, I know it. I'll go make some tea while you put Harry to sleep in the guest room or your old room."
Lily slowly nodded before grabbing her bag and walked up the stairs. She placed her youngest son onto her old room and placed the half sleeping child onto her bed.
She waited not too long for Harry to fall asleep before slowly leaving her room and walked over to the kitchen where her mother had just finished making the tea.
Both women took a seat at the table where Rose handed her a cup of tea.
"Now dear, tell me what happen? Why are you crying? Where is your family?"
Lily bite her lip before taking a deep breath and slowly started explaining to her mother of what had been happening for the past four years.
"I-I couldn't stay there anymore Mom so I left him. I couldn't stand to see Harry being mistreated and neglected while Alex was being treated like a god. I-I know it was wrong for me to left my other son but what else could I have possibly do? James would have had Aurors after me if I did."
Rose sighs before holding onto her daughter's hand, "What you did was a tough chose but necessary. Let's discuss this with your Father in the morning."
Lily nodded before the two headed off to bed.
-Playground, few days later-
Lily was reading her book before looking up to see her son playing at the swing set with a blond boy sitting next to him. The redhead witch smiled warmly to finally see her youngest son be happy for the longest time.
She sighs heavily before leaning over to the bench she was sitting at and recalling what her father told her not too long ago.
"That low life, selfish man! How dare he treat my youngest grandson like that! I'm glad that you dump him Lily as in the beginning I never trusted him!"
"Harold dear please, calm down!"
"Oh I will when I get my hands on that so called pureblood bastard! Lily dear, you can stay here as long as you like and forget that low life bastard."
Lily sighs before closing her book and got up from the bench she was sitting at. She was walking over to the swing set to get her youngest son as it was getting close for dinner.
She was about to call him out when she spotted someone that she never thought that she will see again.
"S-Severus?"
The man that was dress in black clothes turned around before having a pale look on his face.
"L-Lily?! W-What are you doing here? I-I mean, hello."
Lily smiled a bit before giggling, "Same old Sev. And to answer your question, I'm staying over at my parents for a while with my youngest son, Harry."
"I-I see," said Severus before frowning. "Where are Potter and the other twin, Alex?"
Lily's smile slowly turned to a frown before looking down at the ground.
"James…He…He changed the day when Voldemort attack Godric Hallow. Albus and James believe that is was Alex that vanished Voldemort while protecting Harry who James believes that he is a squib. James completely ignores Harry and calls him names while giving his full attention to Alex."
Severus sighs and pinched his nose before shaking his head.
"Potter's stupidity continues to grow. How's Harry fairing all of this?"
"You don't have to worry about him Severus as he is like a little mini me," replied Lily happily. "He loves to help my Dad whenever he can while he helps my Mom on the kitchen or at the garden."
Severus chuckles lightly, "Harry must have gotten more of your genes rather than Potter's."
"Not that I want to be cruel but I'm glad as well," said Lily before getting hugged by her youngest son. "Harry dear, are you ready to – oh! Who's this? A new friend?"
Harry nodded, "Yes Mommy! This is Draco."
"Hi Harry's Mommy!" greeted Draco before walking over to Severus. "Uncle Sev, look I found me a new friend to play with!"
"I can see that Dragon and glad that you did," said Severus happily before hearing Lily giggled. "What's so funny?"
"Oh nothing Sev," replied Lily. "I just…didn't know that you were an Uncle. Is he from your Mother's side?"
"No, Draco is my Godson," replied Severus. "His Father and I were friends during his time in Hogwarts before he graduated so he named me his Godfather when Draco was born."
"Oh I see," said Lily before noticing something familiar about the young boy. "You know, he looks awfully alike Lucius Malfoy. Is he his son?"
"Right as usual, Lily," said Severus. "Lucius is currently is in Azkaban for being a Death Eater while his Mother, Narcissa Malfoy is in a magical coma from an unknown spell when the Aurors attacked their manor, three years ago. As Draco's Godfather, the guardianship was handed over to me until his parents are dim worthy to raise the boy."
"Poor Draco," said Lily as she looked down to see the two boys play around their legs. "I just hope that Lucius doesn't mind Draco having Harry as a friend when he is released from prison."
"By then, Draco will be in his mid-teens and if Lucius will be sane as well," said Severus before frowning. "It's a completely different story for Narcissa as the Healers don't know when she will ever wake up."
"So they will be complete strangers to Draco's view when he ever meets them," said Lily before looking at her watch. "Oh my, is that the time! Come on Harry before Grandma scolds us for being late for dinner."
Harry frowns before grabbing hold onto Draco's hand.
"Can't they come with us Mommy? Grandma always makes a lot of food."
"I don't know," murmured Lily before smiling. "Well what do you say Sev? Would you and Draco like to come over and eat with us at my parent's place? Just like old times."
Severus thought for a moment before looking over to see that his godson has not let go of Harry's hand. He sighs before nodding his head.
"I believe is possible and I do miss your Mother's cooking, what do you think Draco?"
Draco smiled happily, "Oh yes please!"
-Evans' Residents-
"Oh Severus, it's wonderful to see you again," said Rose happily before giving a hug to Severus. She let go before noticing the young blond child, "And who is this young man?"
"It's a pleasure seeing you as well Mrs. Evans," said Severus before placing his hand over to his Draco's head. "And this is my Godson, Draco Malfoy."
"Hello Mrs. Evans," greeted Draco, politely.
"Aw what gentleman but please call me Grandma, Draco," said Rose before placing her hands on her hips. "And Severus if I recall, I gave you permission to call me 'Mom' when your Mother died."
"Um well…y-yes you did," stuttered Severus while Draco giggled.
"Grandma Rose, can Draco and I play a bit before we eat?" asked Harry.
"Of course Harry dear," replied Rose.
Harry grinned happily before grabbing hold onto Draco's hand and guided him upstairs to his room.
"Well then let's go you two," said Rose as she grabbed hold onto Lily and Severus' hands. "Harold will be coming soon and I need my two special helpers to get dinner ready."
Lily and Severus blushed a bit as they recall the times when they are younger and would help out in the kitchen when Severus was invited to eat dinner with them. Sometimes Eileen, Severus' mother would come along as well.
It didn't take long for Harold to come home before having to get Harry and Draco for dinner.
Lily set up a little table for the two young boys while the rest of them were to eat at the kitchen table. Harold was happy to see Severus again and started asking questions about what he has been doing after graduating Hogwarts.
Severus told Harold that he got his Mastery of Potions at a young age and was planning to open his own potion Apothecary when he was recruited to be a spy during the first war in the Wizarding world.
"That must have been a dangerous job to do Severus," said Harold. "I'm glad to know that you are alright and unharmed."
"Yes, I was glad as well," said Severus before sighing. "But I was close getting the Dark Mark that the followers of Riddle's have."
Lily widens her eyes, "Albus never mention that you were almost marked! How did you manage to dodge being marked?"
"The day that Riddle attack Godric Hallow was the day I was supposed to be marked," replied Severus.
Rose and Harold sigh in relief while Lily was grateful that her friend wouldn't have to bare the faint Dark Mark on his left arm.
After dinner, Severus and Draco were about to leave but Draco thought otherwise.
"Uncle Sev, I don't want to leave," said Draco sadly. "Can't we stay just for a bit longer?"
Severus was about to protest when Rose interrupted.
"I have plenty of room for you and Draco if you like to stay, I don't mind really. You can have the guest room while Harold can bring down a sleeping bag for Draco to use…unless of course if Harry wants to use one as well."
"Yay, it's almost like camping!" said Harry happily.
"Camping?" wondered Draco.
"It's a lot of fun Draco! You should come next time when Grandpa takes me," said Harry happily.
Draco's eyes brighten before looking over to his godfather.
"Oh please Uncle Sev! Just one night! Can't we stay for just one night, please?"
Severus pinched his nose before sighing in defeat.
"Alright, it looks like I have been out voted. Plus…I don't want to see Draco being lonely and sad again. There are no children around Draco's age where I live and it is not the best neighborhood for young children either."
Rose clapped her hands, "Wonderful! Harold, would you mind getting the sleeping bags that are stored up at the attic for the boys?"
"Of course my dear," replied Harold before looking over to the young children. "Oh boys, would you mind helping an old man finding two sleeping bags? If you do, you get a nice reward."
Harry's eyes brighten, "Oh! Is it Ice Cream, Grandpa? I like chocolate! Can it be chocolate?"
"Chocolate Ice Cream?" said Draco before looking around. "Where is it?"
Harold laughed, "You'll get it once you help me find those sleeping bags."
"Come on Draco the attic is this way!" said Harry before dashing upstairs. Draco grinned before following his friend to the attic.
Harold and Severus shook their head while Rose and Lily giggled.
Not an hour passed when Rose, Lily and Severus heard Harold shouting from the attic. All of them race upstairs and went up to the attic to find Harold on the ground and the children were surrounded by a while light.
"Harry!" shouted Lily as she dashed to her son.
"Lily wait!" said Severus as he went after her.
When both got close enough, the white light went straight to them as well.
It only passed a few seconds when the white light dim down and Lily and Severus were on their knees while the children were lying on the floor, out cold.
"Harry!" said Lily. She got up and went over to her son as Severus went over to his godson.
Rose and Harold shook of their shock before running over to them.
"Lily dear are you – wait a minute! Did Harry have that strand of blond hair before?" wondered Rose as she glanced at her grandson.
Lily looked at her son and sure enough there was a strand of blond hair on his right side.
"It's not just Harry, Draco has a strand of black hair," said Severus as he pointed to his godson's hair on the left side.
"What happen and what was that white light?" wondered Lily.
Harold sighs, "I think I know…who can explain to you much better. Please forgive me for not tell you this sooner Lily."
"What do you mean Dad?" asked Lily.
"I have a brother who lives in Salem," said Harold. "He is a Professional Healer and a Charms Professor in Salem University."
"Charms Professor and a Healer?" asked Lily in confused.
"It's best if he tells you his story," said Harold. "I will owl him to see when both of you can visit him."
"Ok but explain why you never mention I have a wizarding Uncle before," said Lily.
Harold nodded, "Of course. For the time being, place the boys to your room while I continue finding the sleeping bags."
Lily and Severus nodded before Severus handed Draco to Lily.
"Let me help out your Father while you put the boys to your room."
"Thank you Sev," said Lily before leaving the attic.
Once the sleeping bags were found and the children were put to sleep inside them, Harold revealed to his daughter about his family heritage.
Lily and Severus found out that the Evans was from America but not only that, the Evans bloodline was a pureblood wizarding family.
Within the week, Lily and Severus were heading to Salem with the boys.
-Salem Airport-
"Ah you must be Lily no doubt and the youngest Potion Master Severus Snape, pleasure to meet you," greeted Mathew Evans. He had brown and faint grey hair and light green eyes.
Lily smiled, "Now I know where I got my green eyes from. Hello Uncle Mathew."
"Please call me Uncle Matt, come now my wife should be done with lunch and I bet that all of you are hungry from that long trip," said Mathew as he took out a portkey.
The portkey took them out of the town where there stood an old Victorian Manor that was three stories tall and was a few arcs long. On the left of the Manor was a garden that was long as a football field.
At the entrance, there was a woman with long blond hair and had light blue eyes. She smiled warmly to them.
"About time you made it, hello I'm Serenity Evans nee Malfoy."
Lily and Severus widen their eyes.
"Malfoy?!"
"I see so you know my cousin from Britain," said Serenity before sighing. "Come inside, the children can play in the living room with Sally, our granddaughter while we talk."
-Mathew's Study Room-
"Now explain to me what happen," started Mathew.
"Well," said Lily as she explained to her uncle what had happen a few days ago.
When she finished, she looked over to see her uncle was thinking about something before getting up and walked over the bookshelf. He looked over before getting out a rather large and somewhat worn out book.
Mathew opened the book and placed it in front of them.
"The spell you are looking at is an ancient and old ritual that was performed back around in the mid-1500s. It was used when muggleborns were found alone with no protection from the witch hunters."
"The adopted child would gain a feature from their adopted parent though their magic stays the same. Mostly the child's hair and eyes features are changed."
"To think there is such a spell," said Lily in awe.
"So are you telling us that Draco and Harry perform this ancient ritual?" asked Severus.
Mathew nodded, "Correct."
Lily frowns, "But that can't be. Draco and Harry didn't gain anything from either of Lucius or James' eyes and hair color."
"That's because Draco and Harry performed the twin version of the ritual," said Serenity. "When the ritual is completed, the adopted child will be like their adopted parents but when it involves twins, its different story."
"Instead of getting their adopted parents features, they get each other's," said Mathew.
"So that would explain why Harry has the blond strand of hair and having green-grey eyes," said Lily.
"While Draco has the black strand of hair and having grey-green eyes," said Severus.
"That's right," said Serenity. "There could be more changes but they are still young so we can look at it in another time."
Lily and Severus nodded before the Potion Master noticed the muggle computer.
"Master Evans, how can you have a muggle technology so close to magic? Wouldn't it cause the electricity to exploded?" wondered Severus. "Not to mention, I noticed in the airport that there are both muggle and wizarding methods to travel around here."
Lily frowns, "You know, I noticed that as well. I thought it was around Salem that the witch trails started."
Mathew laughed, "Now that you can thank of our own ancestors."
Lily and Severus gave out a confuse look on their faces.
"What do you mean our ancestors Uncle Matt?" asked Lily.
"From your muggle education, in 1692 Salem did not give the welcome wagon to the wizards and witches as they were viewed as the devil's servants. Around the 1800s, two people changed all of that and their names were none other Noel Evans and Jackson Snape," started Mathew.
Lily and Severus had a shock look on their faces.
"My Father's bloodline was a wizard?" said Severus in disbelief.
Mathew widen his eyes, "You are telling me that your Father didn't tell you that his bloodline original came from America and were a pureblood wizards, Master Snape?"
"Y-Yes," stuttered Severus. "Everyone thought that my Father was a muggle."
"Not sure why," said Mathew before frowning. "Your forefathers should have registered your surname in the society of the pureblood wizarding family. Strange."
"It could be possible that the British Ministry removes pureblood surnames when their heir is a squib," suggested Serenity. "There is not much pureblood family in Britain, correct Severus?"
Severus nodded, "That is correct. There are only a few that are considered raw purebloods."
"I wonder where your Father's side lost their magic, Sev," wondered Lily.
"I'm not sure," replied Severus before looking over to Mathew. "What did my ancestor and Lily's do to change Salem point of view of magic?"
"Noel and Jackson worked together and helped healed the muggles whenever they would get sick or if they were injured, free of charge," replied Mathew.
"It was there that the community of Salem, slowly had second thought about magic and the supposed 'terrors' that the children were saying about evil witches getting them at night or making them do 'horrible' things to each other," said Serenity.
"I did question about those trails of Salem," said Lily before frowning. "How can those children accused all of those people that they knew for quite some time? And yet they sentence so many innocent people."
"Fear, Lily," replied Mathew. "They did something unthinkable and feared if the adults found out, they will be cast out of their community as unholy to God."
"That would make sense," murmured Severus.
"If only Britain had done the same thing," said Lily.
Mathew chuckled, "The day when Ministry British accept muggles and squibs is the day when British purebloods accept muggleborns into their community."
Lily and Severus laughed a bit.
"It was around 1921 where the community of Salem accepted witches and wizards base on what they saw from the Evans' and Snape's," said Serenity.
"Afterwards the two of them and a few other American wizards started to form a school to teach young children that were born with magic," said Mathew before smiling. "They named the school, Salem Academy Institute for Wizards and Witches."
"Children are accepted at the age of eight," said Serenity.
"Why that young age?" wondered Lily.
"Most children will start their accidently magic around age of five to six as their magic core starts to set in," replied Serenity. "The Academy places the children base on their magic cores as some have an average level while some have a high level ones."
"I have noticed that when I attended in Hogwarts," said Lily. "Everyone was quite shocked how strong my magic was even though, at the time, I was thought to be a muggleborn."
"Most of the time, muggleborns magic are supposed to be stronger than purebloods as its fresh magic," explained Serenity before winking. "But overseas purebloods are so stubborn to admit about that small detail."
Mathew snorted, "Stubborn? I say they are downright dunderheads. Look at the British pureblood tree. All of them are basically related to one and the other as they marry distance cousin to another just to keep their 'pureness' still raw."
"Which will lead to many illnesses," said Serenity before frowning. "I am so glad that my Great-Grandfather escaped from that kind of society."
"About that," said Lily. "How are you related to the Malfoy's in Britain?"
"Oh right," said Serenity. "You see my Great-Great-Grandmother married a Malfoy and had two male heirs. One of them was my Great-Grandfather who wanted to explore beyond Britain so he traveled through a ship before landing here in Salem. He met my Great-Grandmother who was a halfblood and fell in love with her."
"They married but when my Great-Granddad informed his parents, they didn't want to do anything with him. In their point of view, he disgraced the Malfoy name by marrying a filthy halfblood and was soon disowned and lost contacted from them since then."
Lily gasped while Severus nodded his head.
"That does sound what a Malfoy would do. I remember the times when Lucius invited me one time to his manor and his Father…let's just say he didn't show any hospitality when I was there."
"British dunderheads," murmured Serenity before gasping. "Dear! They need to know about the marriage contract!"
"Oh that's right, thanks for reminding me," said Mathew.
"Marriage contract?" asked Lily.
"Yes, you see the Evan's and the Snape's were very good friends and thought it would be good idea for their families to form a family together," said Mathew happily. "They formed a marriage contract a few centuries ago upon when the right children from both sides were born."
"Usually the Evan's and the Snape's will have male heirs but never the opposite," said Serenity.
"So that would mean," said Lily.
"The contract falls upon you two if you wish to activate the contract that is," said Mathew.
Lily widens her eyes while Severus was blushing.
Serenity giggled before grabbing hold onto her husband and guided him out of the room. She smiled over to them, "We'll give you two some privacy to talk about it. Call Sophie, our house elf to show you where the kitchen is at as we will be there. I do believe the children are hungry."
Once the door closed, Lily looked over to her best friend where she can see that his cheeks were slightly red and was a bit tensed.
The two stayed quiet for quite some time before Severus broke the silence.
"I…I would like to tell you that – that I fell in love with you the moment I first saw you at the park when we were little."
Lily stared at her nervous best friend before giving him a warm smile.
"Sev, I must admit but I had a crush on you during the end of our 4th year but…the incident that happen in our 5th year…"
"Please Lily, forgive me! I didn't mean to say that foul word to you, honest!" said Severus. "The pressure I was getting from my housemates and Potter with his bloody gang got to me! I took out my anger at you instead at Potter on that fateful day! Please, I beg of you, forgive me!"
Lily shook her head before grabbing hold onto her dear friend's hand.
"Oh Sev, I should be the one to be asking for your forgiveness. I casted you aside and treated you like trash but I should have seen it though your point of view. I foolishly believed about you turning into a dark wizard but in fact, you were alone and calling out for me."
"Lily," murmured Severus softly.
"I forgive you," said Lily as she held onto Severus' hand. "Fate put us together for a reason Sev and now I know why. Do you want to marry a foolish Gryffindor?"
Severus sat there, speechless before giving out a warm smile for the first time, after who knows how long.
"You are not foolish. You are strong and brave…I was the one that was foolish, Lily."
Lily giggled, "Foolish but with good traits. Your ambition to protect those who needs to be protected are strong and the cunning you used during the First War was used for good, not evil. You are the greatest man I have ever meet Sev."
"Thank you Lily," murmured Severus, softly.
Lily got up and dragged Severus out from her uncle's study. She called forth the house elf and told her to take them to the kitchen.
"Come let's inform my Uncle about this Sev."
Severus nodded and let his future fiancé drag him out as they followed the small house elf to the kitchen where they found them eating their lunches.
-Break Line-
