Chapter One; Four Eyes
Harry James Snape was a very happy eight year old little boy. Although he wasn't normal in the slightest, for Harry was a wizard in training. An evil dark wizard had tried to kill him and his mother when he was a baby, but in the end he had failed both times. All that Harry and his mother had left of that traumatic and dreadful event were scars on their foreheads exactly in the shape of lightning bolts.
Harry's father, James Potter on the other hand had died that night. Later on Severus Snape head of Slytherin house and potions master at Hogwarts had fallen in love with his mother and married her. He also fell in love with Harry and ended up adopting him and making him his son, in which he now considered to be his own flesh and blood.
It had been four years since that happened, and now Harry had a two year old little brother named Tobey, and a one year old little sister named Evangeline, or Eve for short. Tobey still loved to roughhouse with Harry, (and tried to with Eve until his parents pulled them apart) but he was just a sweet and innocent little boy who didn't know his own strength.
Eve on the other hand, (who had now learned to crawl and walk and had a single tooth up in the top of her mouth) was a very quiet and shy little baby girl who was very independent and laid back. She loved doing her own thing and loved all of her girly dresses that her mother put her in, but she would scream bloody murder if anyone ever tried to take them off (unless they would be exchanging it for a nightgown, or they started getting her ready for a bath instead) or decided to put her in jeans.
It was for this reason that Lily had already deemed her as a girly girl. Even though her hair was getting pretty long, (it was red like Lily's and getting to be shoulder length) she refused to let anyone cut it, for she would squirm and scream her little lungs off if they did.
Still, Lily and Severus loved all three of their child with all of their hearts even through their flaws. However they still wished that Eve would learn how to talk (the sooner the better if you ask me Snape would always) and express herself more so that they could understand her, not counting all of the pointing and gibberish that she said. However, the one thing that Tobey and Eve had in common was that both of them were still in diapers, and Snape couldn't wait until it was time to start potty training them. (You still have a long way to go for Eve. Lily always reminded him)
Anyway, Harry also had a sweet little dog named Cowboy who was a Jack Russell terrier poodle mix, and a black and white cat named Cosmo. Normally he would be getting ready to go to charm school this time of day with his best friend Ron Weasley, except for the fact that now was summer vacation. Still, Harry ran excitedly out of his room holding something white and tiny in the palm of his hand.
"Mum! Dad! Guess what!? My tooth finally came out!" he exclaimed excitedly while waving his baby tooth in the air.
"That's great sweetheart, tonight you can put it under your pillow for the tooth fairy." His mother told him as Harry looked down at his little brother and sister that were playing down on the rug with their toys. Normally he would have said that he was too old to believe in childish things like that anymore, but he didn't want to ruin their fun so he glanced back up at his mother and smiled a toothless smile.
"Excellent." He said before he winked at her in which she smiled back at him and winked in return. That's when all of a sudden Harry started rubbing his eyes.
"Are you alright Harry?" his father asked him out of concern.
"Yes, I think so." He began. "But I've been having a hard time seeing lately. Everything's always so blurry." He finished.
"Maybe we should make you an appointment to see the eye doctor then." Snape told him while Lily begun making breakfast.
"But what if he tells me that I needed glasses?" Harry questioned as Snape simply just shrugged at him.
"Then at least you'll be able to see better." He told him.
"But I can't wear glasses! All of my friends are just going to make fun of me!" he cried.
"Well then, I guess that they really aren't your friends then are they?" Lily questioned him as she looked over at him from the kitchen.
"Your mother's right Harry. True friends really like you for who you are not what you look like. And on the inside you'll always be Harry and that's what counts." Snape told him but Harry simply just frowned at him.
"You mean that I'll always be Harry Potter." He said. "Ever since I was a baby it's been Harry Potter this and Harry Potter that. They always seem to forget that I've been adopted by you. If I get glasses, it won't be look at Harry Snape's new glasses, it will only be about Harry Potter's. Well I'm sick of hearing about Harry Potter! I don't want to become some four eyed freak either!" he yelled before he ran back inside his bedroom and slammed the door behind him.
Lily breathed a heavy sigh as Tobey and Eve looked up at her.
"What's wrong with Harry Mummy?" Tobey asked her. "Is he angry?" he questioned.
"It's alright Tobey, he'll be alright. Mummy is going to go talk to him about it." She explained before she turned to go towards the hallway but Snape placed a hand on her shoulder and stopped her.
"No, I will. You continue making breakfast so that Tobey and Eve can eat. I'll be out soon." He told her before he turned and walked away down the hall.
