Harry Potter and the Power Keepers of Magic

Chapter One: Mysterious Girl

Harry Potter was an average boy but quite unusual. He had brilliant green eyes behind round framed glasses. He was short for his age. He had jet black hair that stuck up in the back. He had a thin lightning bolt scar on his forehead from when he was a baby. It was a marking of the failure of Voldemort's spell. Voldemort. An evil wizard who is set on killing others and his main target Harry Potter.

One day, Harry was writing a letter to Hermione when there was a load knock at the front door. Harry was sitting on the couch writing to his friend from Hogwarts. That is where he learned magic.

Aunt Petuina answered the door. Her look on her face was rather disgusted at what was at the door.

"I want to see Potter," a low but soft voice said.

Harry's hair on the back of his neck stood up. It was Professor Snape. Harry didn't like the sound of what was going to happen next. Harry went to the door and saw a man with black greasy hair that went down to his shoulders. His black eyes had a loathing look in them. He wore an outfit other than his robes. Harry had a hard time keeping a straight face. He would have never thought that the tall, thin, and hooked nose professor would wear a blue shirt with pockets and dark blue jeans.

"Well, if it isn't my damn sister," Snape hissed," I can't believe Potter lives in a pigsty like this."

"You're related to. to..," Harry choked out the words, "my aunt?"

"She's my older sister, Potter," Snape hissed, " And you're mother is one of my other sisters."

"I want to see Harry!" a small voice piped out behind Snape.

Apparently, Snape was holding someone's hand. Snape walked in and a girl about a year younger than Harry stood behind him. The girl had brilliant green eyes. She too had the same lightning bolt scar as Harry. She wore glasses similar to his. She had jet black hair that was pulled into a ponytail. She stood about the same height at Harry did.

"This is you're sister, Potter," Snape said calmly, "Her name is Lilly Potter, but it is pronounced LeeLee. She has too faced the Dark Lord, the same night as you. I have taken care of her since she was about a few weeks old."

"Hi," Lilly said with a bit of shyness.

"My own children hope to meet you, too," Snape grunted, "They can't wait to meet you.."

"Uncle, does that mean we have to stay here for a while?" Lilly asked Snape.

Snape looked a bit annoyed, but he shown a true smile to Lilly. He smiled sweetly towards her.

"Hopefully, the muggle will let us stay," Snape hissed, "Or should I blow her brains out."

Petuina's face went a bit pale. She didn't like the fact that there was another wizard in her house. But this one was a relative.

"You and the little one can stay in Harry's room," Petuina said calmly but with anger.

"What?!?" Harry complained, "The slimeball has to stay in my room."

Snape shot Harry a loathing look. Harry immediately backed off. Dudley, Harry's fat cousin, came into the room. He looked at Snape and ran out in the kitchen yelling. Lilly giggled a bit. She let go of Snape's hand and ran off. She found a mouse trap and it snapped on her fingers. She ran around crying. Snape finally got her to be quite by hugging her and taking off the trap. Harry had never seen this side of Snape. Not just that, Snape mentioned he has kids. Harry was thinking who in the right mind would fall in love with Snape. Snape began to tell Lilly that some muggle items were dangerous.

"Now, Potter," Snape hissed, "Tomorrow we will leave for Diagon Alley. After that, we will board the Hogwarts Express. Lilly has something for you."

Lilly pulled out a package in gold foil with a silver bow on top. She gave it to Harry and he opened it. It was a certificate for 100 Galleons to Quidditch Supply Shop in Diagon Alley.

"It was kind of Severus's idea," Lilly smiled sweetly.

Snape's face went a pale red. Harry could tell he was embarrassed.

Snape told Harry of Lilly's story. Harry couldn't believe Snape was his uncle. Harry was then ushered to the dining room where they ate dinner. Snape looked at the cooking and his face faulted. He mumbled something about "Minerva's cooking looks a lot more edible than this slop."

Harry wondered if he was talking about Professor McGonagall. Lilly ate it as if there was nothing wrong. Vernon came in and saw Snape. Snape looked right back at him. It looked as if the two have met before.

"Didn't think I would see you again," Vernon spat, "You and your sister were such idiots."

"I could say the same thing about you and your sister, muggle," Snape hissed, "Too bad that you're a muggle."

Dudley came behind his father and sat the farthest away from Snape. But Dudley sat near Lilly. He was interested in her. She smiled at him. He smiled back with a bit of pink in his fat flabby cheeks. Harry thought Lilly was crazy for smiling at Dudley. He nearly threw up when Dudley blushed. Snape stared Dudley down until Dudley stopped looking at Lilly. She gave Lilly a disapproving look. She turned back to her soup.

Just then a raven came swooping onto Snape's shoulder. The raven held a note which he took from it. The bird took a form of a black worm like creature. Harry recognized it as a boggart.

"No need to worry, Potter," Snape said, "This boggart is a pet. She is very old and is trained."

Snape opened the letter and read it. He gave a short sigh. Lilly grabbed it from his hands and read it and giggled. She then gave it to Harry. Harry started laughing when he read it.

" ' To my dearest Daddy'" Harry read aloud, " I hope you won't mind us using your dungeon as a soccer field. Marcaus and I are having very much fun using it. Mum said she'll transfigure our behinds in the steel bricks so we won't use magic to have fun. Mum wants to know if you are alright. Hope this note gets to you. Love your Daughter, Sarah Marie Snape."

"So Sarah and Marcaus are fine," Lilly said joyfully.

"So Snape does have kids," Harry said, " but who's the mother?"
