Disclaimer: This goes for the whole story. I do not own anything that has to do with Harry Potter and I never will, I'm just writing about it for the fun of it.
An Angel's Twins
It had been a carefully guarded secret for years, until Harry's eleventh birthday. Petunia had finally gotten sick of staying quiet. She yelled and screamed at the wizards, making demands to know what happened to her nephew's twin sister. Many, in what was called the Order of the Phoenix, had been shocked and surprised to hear that Harry Potter had a twin, let alone a twin sister. Petunia was sick of the lies, she wanted her niece to be returned to her family or else Harry would not be going to Hogwarts at all. Vernon Dursley had been about to contradict his wife, but one look at his royally pissed off wife was enough to silence the walrus of a man.
"I mean it, you fools," Petunia had snapped. "I want the girl in my custody or Harry will be going to a different wizarding school."
"Now, Mrs. Dursley, please be reasonable." Headmaster Dumbledore said in what he had believed to be a soothing voice.
"No, you old fool, I will NOT be reasonable." Petunia snarled. "This is my nephew's twin sister we are talking about, a little girl I have not seen since the day she was born. She is my niece and I demand that she be returned to her family, and until she is there is no way that I am going to be reasonable with you, Dumbledore."
"How dare ye talk to the Headmaster like that!" Hagrid howled.
"Hagrid, that is enough." Dumbledore sighed. "Mrs. Dursley has every reason to be upset with us."
"Wait a minute." A tiny voice spoke up for the first time. "I have a sister, a twin sister?"
Petunia's scowl softened at the voice of her nephew. "Harry, please come here." Harry went to his aunt slowly. "Yes, sweetie, you have a sister. I'm sorry, but we thought that it would be best not to tell you until you were older."
"Stop!" Harry cried. "Why are you being so nice to me all of the sudden?" He exclaimed. "You hate me, all of you do! Just because these strangers are here doesn't mean you need to start pretending that you actually care about me!"
"Excuse me?" The cold, yet silky voice of Severus Snape cut in. "What is the boy going on about?" He demanded.
"Nothing! The boy is just trying to cause trouble." Vernon snarled while looking at Harry in fury and disgust, who flinched at the look he was receiving from his uncle.
"Vernon, shut up!" Petunia hissed. That was it, she had finally had it. "I am so sick and tired of the way that you have been treating Harry! It either ends now or you are leaving and never stepping anywhere near my nephew. Do you hear me? I will not allow you to hurt him or lay a hand on him anymore. At this time he is all that I have left of my sister unless these idiots give me my niece. I will not let you get in the way of me taking care of Harry any longer, you giant walrus!" She all but yelled. "And I most certainly will not be your punching bag ever again either! Stay away from Harry, Dudley, and me. Get out, get out right now!"
"How dare you!" Vernon yelled. "After everything I did for you all of these years, you bitch!." He rounded on Harry. "You! You freak, this is all your fault! You're turning my own wife against me. You won't get away with it, you freak of a boy."
To say that the wizards in the room were shocked by that rant would be a vast understatement. Severus stepped forward and over to Petunia as Vernon attempted to advance on her and Harry. Severus looked at the woman he had known since childhood with critical eyes. He then stepped in front of Petunia, who had Harry hiding behind her.
"I would not do that if I were you, Dursley." Severus said in a deadly whisper. The Order members in the house took a step back at the look on the potions master's face and the barely hidden anger and disgust there.
"You can't stop me from doing anything in my own home." Vernon thundered. "You're just a freak just like that boy and his freaky parents! This is my house and I can do what I want in it."
"We shall have to see about that, now won't we, muggle?" Severus said coldly. He drew his wand and advanced toward the whale of a man.
"Severus, wait!" Petunia tried. "There has to be another way! You wouldn't kill him in from of an eleven year old, would you? Especially considering that the child I am talking about is Lily's son." She paused when she knew she has the attention of the potions master. "She would not want you to do something like that in from of her child." It was soft plea.
"And what would you have me do instead, Tuney?" Severus snarled. "Allow this filth to continue to abuse both you and the boy?" He demanded coldly.
"Lily's boy." Petunia stated quietly. "Lily wouldn't want this for you."
"Do not speak of her to me, Tuney!" Was the cold reply as Snape turned on his heel and stalked toward her. "You had better protect her boy from now on, Petunia, or there shall be hell to pay."
"Severus….." Petunia started, but trailed off.
"In exchange for protecting Lily's boy, Petunia, I will search for the girl for you. If I find her I will return her to you." With that said he turned to the headmaster. "I'll leave Dursley for you and the Order to deal with, Headmaster." Severus Snape then stalked out of the house.
Vernon Dursley was removed from Private Drive that day and was place in a wizarding prison for muggles who had committed crimes against a wizard or witch. Years had passed, with Snape being cold and indifferent to Harry Potter, but he kept his promise to search for the missing Potter twin. It wasn't until a fortnight into the summer after Harry's third year at Hogwarts that the missing child was found. Severus was in Godric's Hollow when he came upon a situation much like the one from the eleventh birthday of Harry Potter.
"Come on, girl!" A man yelled in a small park in Godric's Hollow. "Get your lazy ass moving or you'll get it!"
"Yes, sir. Sorry, sir." Was the soft answer from a red haired teen.
"Not as sorry as you're going to be, you little bitch!" The man grabbed the teen's arm and dragged her into a near by house. "I'll teach you to try to run away, and it will be a lesson that you'll never forget. And if you even think about trying to use magic to try to stop me then I will not hesitate to kill you, pretty little thing or not."
It was those few threats thrown at the teenage girl that melted part of Snape's cold heart. There was something about that girl that had seemed familiar. Something that reminded him of Lily and her son. It had been almost three years since he made his promise to Petunia, but he continued to search in what would seem to be in vain. Pushing that thought aside, Severus made his way toward the house that the young girl had been dragged into. The whole interaction between her and her guardian seemed off, well, more like abusive.
Severus's thoughts of the interaction being abusive had been accurate. As he got close to the house he could hear faint screaming coming from inside. Severus also heard a little bit of yelling as well as the screams of pain. It reminded him too much of his day as a death eater before he had turned to Dumbledore to become his spy. But that was neither her nor now. Right now there was a teenage girl who needed his help. And boy, was he ever in for a shock!

A/N: This is just a note to those who have been reading my other fic, True Nature. I just wanted you guys to know that I am still alive and I am hoping that I can get back to my other fic soon. The last few months have been hard with college. That, and for the last few months there has been some things in my fic True Nature that had been hitting to close to home for me to be to able to write anything for it. But I'm back now and I think that I can handle writing about the subjects in True Nature and I think that I will be able to update it within the next few weeks. For those of you who have not read my other fic then please disregard the first part of this note. So, what do you guys think of this so far? Should I continue it or scrap it? I'd really like to know what everyone thinks about this because I haven't written anything for fun since back in October. So please, review and let me know what you think. This was just a spur of the moment idea, by the way.
