Disclamer: I do not own Harry Potter or any characters/places used in the original books, I do own my characters.
Celestine Snape was a proud woman, She was beautiful but didn't like to flaunt her looks, Her Chestnut hair was long and soft and her brown eyes always seemed warm and comforting, her skin was lightly tanned making her seem radiant, she was loved by nearly everyone she knew, especially her husband Severus and her big brother James Potter. She helped the Order of the Phoenix in the task of brining Voldemort down, she was collecting info on Death Eaters when she had been kidnapped.
Celestine had gone missing for months and it took much pleading from both James and Severus for Dumbledore to do anything about it, This caused both men and their wives to lose respect for Dumbledore and to start questioning his actions more. Celestine was returned to her loved ones mostly unharmed, though she had definitely become more jumpy. Nine months later, she and Severus were parents of a beautiful baby girl they named Kassandra.
Celestine did her best to keep in touch with James, Lily and her Nephew Harry, but they had gone into hiding from Voldemort
The 31st of October, saw the end of Voldemort and the start of a new era. For most it would be a time of celebration and peace, for others it would be a time to return to the shadows but for Celestine it was a time to get very very angry, She had tried to get custody of her Nephew but to no avail, Dumbledore had left Harry at number 4 Privet Drive, where the first five years of his life would be hell. Sirius Black, Harry's godfather had been sent to azkaban without a trial for being a death eater so Celestine was pushing for a trial. Remus Lupin practically lived with the Snapes since he had no where else to go, Kassandra loved her godfather and grew up hearing the tales of her uncle and aunt and awaiting the day she would get to meet her cousin.
Harry James Potter didn't have that luxury, he grew up in a place where he was hated, when he was three he started to do some chores like tidy Dudley's toys up or sweep the floors. His cousin was jealous of Harry's ability to use 'it' and so would get Harry in trouble for it. Harry was a small boy and was rather thin for his age, his green eyes were dark, like the colour of pine trees, his skin was pale from the lack of sunshine and he never smiled when around people, if he was left alone he would smile slightly as he played with the broken toys Dudley had so generously given him. Little did Harry know, his life was soon too take a turn for the better.
Celestine was working with the Unspeakables and Goblins to get Harry into her custody without Dumbledore finding out. It had been a long process but soon Harry would be with them. It was October, getting close to Halloween, while most people would be out partying that night Celestine and Remus would be going to get Harry, but for now though she sat in the living room curled up close to Severus who was reading though a potions book, Remus was sat on an armchair reading a book to Kassandra who slowly drifted off to sleep. Celestine smiled they had finished Harry's room, now all they needed to do was collect the boy on Halloween night
