Chapter 1 – Prologue and Beginning
One cold night on December twenty-fifth two babies were born. One was a boy the other was a girl, the boy was born a few minutes before his sister. They were born to Emilia Drake also known by her married last name Snape. Their father is Severus Snape who is a well-known potions professor at Hogwarts. Emilia had named her son Seth Snape and her daughter Luna Snape. Emilia had named her daughter after a moon goddess her son was also named after a god that was well known in Egypt. Emilia had wanted her children to have meanings behind their names. Once Emilia had taken her children home and her husband returned to his work she had spent most of her time caring for her children while her husband was at Hogwarts. Emilia was a pureblood witch from a decent family. They weren't very rich but neither where they poor she had lived a comfortable life with her family. When Emilia wanted to leave the house to have some time to herself she had elves take care of her children. Unfortunately, Emilia would only live to see her two children turn two years old. She was in an accident during one of her outings, which ended in her death. From her death, Severus had to put his children's up bringing to Emilia's parents who had raised her. He didn't have time to raise his children while he was a teacher and he couldn't have two toddlers running around the castle. He would spend his holidays and summers with his children who he would bring to his home. When his children had finally became of age he didn't have them attend Hogwarts he thought there would be too many problems from other students if they had attended Hogwarts where he worked. He had sent them to Hogwarts sister school to learn magic. By their fourth year the twins where accelerating in school, but the twins accelerated in their own subjects except for one. Seth accelerated in charms, study of magic, magical theory, alchemy, and potions. His twin Luna accelerated in defense against the dark arts, care of magical creatures, divination, ancient studies, and potions. Both twins accelerated in potions together, they also shared some traits and personalities. However, they could differ in many ways as well. Their appearance was one thing that was different between them. Seth was about five-eleven in height; he had black eyes, blonde short hair, and was very well defined. Luna on the other hand was five-five in height; she had blue eyes, black long hair, and was slim, curvy, and well developed. The twins had made it to their fifth year at their school before they were facing expulsion. The twins where facing expulsion for their own reasons. At the end of their fifth year the headmistress of the school had given their father an ultimatum either he remove his children from her school or they would be expelled. Severus was removing his children from her school. With some talking to the headmaster of Hogwarts Severus had worked out that his children would be attending there last two years at Hogwarts. The headmaster had gladly accepted them to Hogwarts especial after seeing there marks.
The twins had been at their father's home for only a few days now. They had spent much of their summer with their grandparents. They had only a few more days until they were leaving to Hogwarts. At the moment they were just sitting in the study of their fathers home both reading over two different scrolls.
"What do you have Luna?"
Luna looked over her scroll before she spoke, "DADA, divination, ancient studies, care of magical creatures, and potions," she then looked up at her older brother who was leaning against their fathers desk, "What about you Seth?"
"Let's see I have, study of magic, alchemy, potions, charms, and magical theory. Boring really," he stated dryly.
"I don't want to get kicked out of this school Seth. Two years left let's do it without incident," Luna said looking at her twin.
Seth didn't answer his sister he didn't have time to because there father entered the room. He sat behind his desk and looked at his two children.
"Sit you two," Severus told his children.
Luna and Seth looked at their father. Seth turned around and took a seat in front of his father. Luna got up from the couch, walked over, and sat next to her brother, "Yes father," Luna asked sweetly.
"Luna don't try it. I don't want either of you getting in trouble at this school I had to pull strings to get you in. You'll take the train to the school and be sorted right before the first years," Severus stated to his children. Neither of the twins said anything to their father. Severus then continued, "I will give you each some money to go to Diagon Alley and get your supplies for school. Take the floo there," Severus said and gestured to the fireplace. Seth took the money there father gave them. Luna was already standing in the fireplace with the powder in her hands. Seth joined his twin in the fireplace. Once he stood next to her, Luna threw the floo powder down, "Diagon Alley," she spoke clearly. They looked around the area that was crowded with people. Luna looked at her scroll that had her school supplies, "Books first?" she asked
"Sure," Seth said and followed his sister to the bookstore. Once they entered, it was load and crowded, "I hate this," commented Luna. Luna and her brother split up looking for their own books for school. Luna's finger was trailing over books as she looked for her divination book. She was getting frustrated, "For merlin's sake where is that bloody book?"
"What are you looking for?" a female voice came.
Luna looked up at a girl around her age that had brown hair and was in robes, "Um divination for fifth years," Luna stated.
"Oh I hate that class but that book is on the bottom shelf," the girl said.
Luna bent down, pulled it out, and then turned to the girl, "Thanks."
"You never been to this shop before?" the girl asked
"No, me and my sibling are transferring to Hogwarts from its sister school."
"Oh, well I'm Hermione."
"Luna." Luna gave Hermione a smile and before Hermione could speak her brother showed up. "Luna have you found all your books yet?"
"No not yet Seth, I need my potions book and DADA. Oh this is Hermione," Luna gestured to Hermione.
Seth nodded his head to Hermione, "I have your potions book and I grabbed your DADA book as well. Let's go we still need to get other things," he said annoyed.
"Okay I'm coming," Luna turned to Hermione, "Bye thanks again," Luna turned then and followed her brother to the front where he paid for his and her books. After that they went and got there robes, got cauldrons, parchment, ink, quills, and trunks. Luna and Seth then ended up in a shop and used there fireplace and floo powder to return home. They arrived in the fireplace of their father's home with everything already being sent to their rooms.
"Get everything?" Severus asked his two children.
"Yes father," Luna stated and then headed up to her room. She was putting everything into her trunk that night when her twin came into the room. He shut the door behind him and sat on his sister's bed watching her. "Why are you already packing we won't be leaving for a few more days." Luna didn't say anything to her brother as she finished packing. She shut her trunk then stood and turned to face her brother, "I can pack now if I wish."
"What is with your mood lately sister?" Seth asked.
"I don't care for what you're doing Seth. We are different remember. We are twins but we both have different looks from our parents. I have our mother's eyes and fathers hair. You have our father eyes and our mother's hair. Not to mention totally different personalities as well."
Seth gave his sister a smile before he walked over to her and moved some of her hair behind her ear, "Come now sister just give it a chance."
"Giving it a chance would kill me," she said, "Now get out of my room, I'm going to bed." Luna watched her brother leave and she then went to bed for the night.
