Prologue

"Brats! Get your arsses up here!" They heard their Uncle Vernon shout down the stairs to them. They looked at each other and then raced up the stairs afraid that they had angered him again. Though they couldn't think of anything that they'd done to be classified as freakish and to get them yet another punishment.

They'd been in the basement doing the laundry when they heard him shouting. When they finally made it to the Den they saw their three relatives standing there. Uncle Vernon with a look that said he wanted to give them a sound beating and take away three days' worth of food. Dudley with a look that said he was upset with whatever his parents had decided, and that throwing a fit hadn't worked. Aunt Petunia on the other hand look very smug about something.

He shoved two brand new backpacks at them. "We're going to Zaire. My company is sending me to negotiate with some people who want to invest with us. And unfortunately Miss Figg has come down with the flu. Now go and pack for a three week trip and if you two freaks embarrass me even once I will make you both wish you'd never been born!"

They looked at each other, then Aunt Petunia. When she gave them a small smile they grinned and ran back to the basement to finish the laundry and pack quickly. As they folded the clothes they spoke quietly.

"What do you think Harry? Are you excited?" She asked her twin brother.

"Of course I'm excited! We finally get to go somewhere other than school." Harry replied. "Are you feeling nervous Hallie? You shouldn't. If we do get in any trouble I'll take care of you."

"I know you will Harry. You always have." Hallie smiles over at Harry as they finish folding and sorting all of the laundry. "If we hurry and put these away Aunt Petunia might let us have Ice Cream." Hallie's smile widens at the thought.

What neither twin knew though was that Hallie wasn't supposed to exist. You see Harry Potter was born an only child. But if she isn't his sister then what is she you may ask. Well after Professors Dumbledore and McGonagall left it was very cold as sadly neither teacher had thought to cast a heating charm on the poor little babe. Nor had they thought to have him checked by Madam Pomfrey.

And so in an effort to help him, his magic duplicated it's self as a mirror copy. Halving his aliments between the two children. And thus Hallie was created.

At seven AM Petunia awoke to children's crying. At first she thought it was Dudley. After all, he had been colicky lately. But when she got to the nursery he was sleeping quite peacefully. So she walked down the stairs to get a glass of milk, thinking she was just imagining things. And yet the closer she got to the front door the louder the sound became. Almost as if whatever was making such heart wrenching cries knew that someone who could help was coming.

And so she quietly opened the door and looked about. When she saw nothing she looked down and saw the two children wrapped together in a ratty old blanket. She gasped and swooped down to pick them up. And once she did she felt the fever coming off of them in waves. She quickly brought them inside and shut the door while yelling up the stairs to Vernon. "Vernon come quickly!"

She hurried to the kitchen and laid them on the table as she heard her husband running down the stairs. "Pet? What's wrong? What's happened?" He asked as he came into the kitchen only to freeze when he saw the children.

"I woke up to crying but it wasn't Dudley, and so I came down stairs to get some milk when I heard the crying coming from outside." She told him as she went about getting the kids out of the blanket so that she could check on them. "I opened the door and they were just lying there. They are also running a temperature. And they have very nasty cuts on their foreheads. Please go and get the thermometer Vernon."

He snapped out of his shock and went to get the requested item. While he was gone she shushed the children so they would stop crying. While she was calming them she saw the letter. She picked it up and read the note.

Dear Petunia Dursley,

I am sorry to be the one to inform you that last night at ten thirty. Your sister Lily and her husband James were murdered by Lord Voldemort. Lily's love is the reason he lived and so I must ask that you let the child live with you for I have put Wards around your house that will keep you and young Harry safe. Please care for him as he were your own.

Yours Sincerely,

Albus Dumbledore Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Petunia sank onto one of the chairs at the table as the tears came. She may not have always done right by her little sister but she had loved her dearly. The one thing that confused her was that it was obvious the children were twins and yet not only did the letter not mention a little girl with her brothers midnight black hair and almost feline green eyes but she knew for a fact her sister only gave birth to one child. Not only from the Birth announcement but from the Ultrasound pictures that Lily had sent her throughout her pregnancy, just as she had done for her with Dudley.

Vernon came into the kitchen with cool wet rags, fever medicine, and the thermometer. She handed him the letter as she started checking their temperatures. She heard Vernon curse quietly behind her as he no doubt finished the letter. He walked forward to look at the children as she tended them. He reached out his hand and ran his fingers over Harry's cheek.

"Pet? You said your sister had a son. Not twins, and then the letter only talks about him. So who is she?" He asked in slight confusion.

"I think she IS Harry, Vernon. I remember when I and Lily were little before she got her letter that she was a witch, strange things would happen when she was sick or hurt. Once when she was about five she had a small winter cold, she somehow put her fever in her Sippy cup." She paused as she fought back more tears. "I was the only one that saw it happen and Mum and Dad didn't believe me when I told them. But I always knew the truth. I think what happened was Harry was hurt and sick and so he cut his ailment down to a level that he could handle it." She pointed to the little girl who was being held protectively by Harry as she took her temp while they slept fitfully. "I think his magic made her." She finished quietly.

"Petunia I love you and I know you loved your sister but I don't think I could ever love them. Care? Maybe. Love? No." He wrapped his arms around her middle and laid his head on hers. "Who knows? Maybe if I be the bad guy to them they won't get their magic!"

She shook her head as she finished taking Harry's temp, her suspicion confirmed. They had the exact same temperature. She turned her head to look at Vernon. "Could you go get two of Dudley's onesies? We can go and get them proper clothes and things latter today."

And so the years went by. Vernon would handout and enforce the punishments, while Petunia would be the 'Good Cop' so to speak. Vernon would give them solid spankings and make them go without food for a day or so if they used magic. They of course didn't know that they had magic or even that it was magic that would make things happen.

But Vernon did start truly resenting and hating them because of their magic. He went from spanking to hitting, and from hitting to beating. It was truly sad how much their magic had healed them of in just the short four years that they had been living with the Dursley's. This was the summer of their fifth birthday. And Vernon had a plan to get rid of the brats. Then his Duders would be safe from their freakishness. He also knew that they wouldn't keep quiet forever about the beatings. And so he had to get rid of them. And then the perfect opportunity had fallen into his lap in the form of Miss Figg being sick and not able to take the Freaks.

HPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHP

This is it. He thought to himself as he watched the ungrateful brats do their chores. I can finally get rid of them once and for all. I won't have to hide the beatings from Petunia anymore. And Dudley won't have to hide his games of Harry and Hallie Hunting. Although, He admitted to himself. It was usually more of just Harry Hunting. The brat always protected the girl. Would do anything for her really.

And Vernon would know. Harry had taken more beatings for the girl than should be possible. He just couldn't wrap his head around why he would protect her even when he had just received a beating himself. He shrugged mentally as he saw them walk up the stairs from the basement with the rucksacks Petunia had gotten them. They didn't even bother coming over to him for his approval in how they had packed. Good. He'd've probably box their ears if they had tried.

"Look Aunt Tunia. Did we do good?" The little brats asked as they showed her the backpacks. She of course ignored the look on his face and kneelt down to look at their bags. "Yes you did very well. And look! You even made sure all of your clothes were folded nice and neat. Now why don't you go put your shoes on? We're going to leave soon." She said as she stood up giving them a smile.

Vernon took Dudley's hand and led him out to the car. After he got Dudley in his seat he went back inside to get the bags. He paused when he didn't see their bags but shrugged when he saw them walk out the front door behind Petunia with them on. What do those Freaks have that Dudley doesn't? He wondered to himself as he drove to the airport. What does she see in them that she doesn't see in her own son?

HPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHP

You see even though he had raised them to the tender age of five he hated the poor children. He didn't understand that Petunia would love those two even if she had never met them. They were Blood. Plain and simple. But he couldn't wrap his mind around how someone could love a couple of freaks.

But the worst was yet to come. Not just in how he treated the twins all the way, unbeknownst to Petunia but in what Vernon was planning for the twins.
