Disclaimer: Anything recognizable is not owned by me. This was just an idea that popped into my head about what would be different if Harry was a parselmouth and connected to the 'dark' through birth. I hope you enjoy and an advice you want to give I would love to hear it.

Harry was walking down the hallway towards the Gryffindor table when she was approached by a Slytherine. To most, he would be considered one of the most dangerous and unlikable Slytherines in the school but for some reason, to everyone's surprise he had taken to looking out for her this year. She did not understand it and she most certainly did not trust it. A Slytherine taking interest in her could not in any way be good.

Despite his interest, this was the first time he approached her. "Harry can I talk to you," Lysander Lestrange asked. Lestrange, a name that to this day still spread fear in the hearts of witches and wizards everywhere.

She glanced to the twins who had instantly pulled out their wands upon seeing him, they kept their arms to their sides, wands up their sleeves prepared for a fight looking for others since Slytherines travel in packs. They remained where they were though, she always knew she could trust them both to have her back if need be, if this turned out to be a fight they would be up within seconds. "I don't go alone with Slytherines, I am a Gryffindor not an idiot."

The older Slytherine cringed but nodded quickly, he seemed desperate to talk to her. "Please it's important, they can come as long as you swear to hear me out. You can even bring Longbottom if you have to," her eyes widened since it was not a secret at least to her what the Lestrange were responsible which made the request even more suspicious. "Actually I would prefer you did. Just promise to listen to me and not judge until I am finished."

She realized that it clearly meant a lot to him, after everything he had done for her it was the least she could do. She was far from comfortable with the idea but she would rather not make another enemy among the Slytherine house, a neutral snake was a lot better than one who wanted to harm her. So she went to the Gryffindor table where the twins instantly went to her and Neville. "What's Lestrange doing talking to you," Fred asked suspiciously, not of her but of his intent, it did not sit well with him.

"He wants to talk to me in private," she admitted causing their eyes to widen in surprise, "I said no cause he is a Slytherine. He said that if it will let me give him a chance, you both and Nev can come."

The twins looked uneasy, Neville most of all. This did not seem a good idea but from her tone of voice, it was clear she had made a decision to meet with him. "Why give in at all?"

"He looked out for me when a couple Ravenclaws were pissed off at me and so I owe him to at least listen. He got the Slytherines not to pick on me," she stated biting her lip. Life had become a lot easier since Lysander Lestrange got everyone to leave her alone but at the same time she was worried about what this could mean. "Will you come talk to him with me? I promised I would listen to what he has to say."

The twins nodded, they were not going to let her go alone that's for damn sure. "Alright," they agreed together as they followed her, Neville decided to go too just to protect her since he did not trust a Lestrange. They went out to an old classroom and he entered to everyone's shock alone.

Fred spoke up before anyone else could get the chance. "What do you want with Harry Lestrange," Fred demanded as they sat on desks, the three male Gryffindors seemed to surround her. She could take care of herself but they would not let him get close to hurting her in any way. This was a trap, they knew that they just did not know how it was a trap just yet.

He cringed but he had to speak up or else he would regret it. "Look, just hear me out from beginning to end and then you can tell me to fuck off and call me a slimy Slytherine death eater spawn or whatever the hell you want. Just let me get it all out."

They all looked surprised at his statement, the desperateness in his voice. Snakes were usually cold, they did not show weakness or much feeling at all but he seemed almost panicking. Was that another trick? Did they want it to be a trick because what could shake him this badly? "Alright," Harry agreed, "Go ahead Lestrange."

It took a second for him to find the words. "I am looking for my sister," he said finally shocking everyone.

That was in no way what they thought he was going to lead with. It didn't make any since either since as far as any of them knew, he was the only Lestrange left. His parents and uncle were in prison. He was the last Lestrange. "Last I checked, you didn't have one, the Lestrange's only had one child you," Neville stated saying there name as if it was filth.

Lysander ran his fingers through his black hair and they could see his hands were shaking slightly. He had started however and he wasn't going to stop without getting it all out. "At this point, last check 39 dark family pureblood children are missing, they were taken and no one has any idea what became of them. There are guesses, people who know but there is no proof unless they get the blood test and most people especially the light side would rather pretend none of this happened."

"What happened," Harry demanded. "What do you mean missing children?" She couldn't rap her head around the idea since in the wizarding world, for the most part children were highly valued. It would be publicized everywhere if a child especially a pureblood was missing. A ten year old had been killed in a creature attack a month before and it was an outrage and spoken about everywhere.

"My mom and dad are Bellatrix and Rudulphus Lestrange, they had me and they had my sister Lorelei Harrayne who would be 12 now, my uncle Rabasten was married to Regulus Black, they had my cousin Scorpius who would also be twelve, they were born a day apart. They were abducted and my uncle Regulus was killed during their abduction when they were only six months old," Lysander stated. They wanted to not believe him, they did not want to pity those families because there was a deep hatred for them but the way he spoke seemed so painful. They were listening for the moment so he would say his piece and try. "They were stolen and the only reason I wasn't abducted as well is because my mom and dad took me out for the day so I could get new clothing since I outgrew almost everything."

There was a slight pause in Lysanders story giving them a chance to break in. "Why would we believe that this even happened," Fred demanded.

Lysander looked at him completely serious, "I can keep naming kids, Persius, Fredveren and Geogen Blerek, Corvus and Damien Nott, Henric Montague, Nadia Avery, Kessa Klerk. They were all taken from the dark side during and prior to the war, abducted from their homes, some off of the streets, stolen from their beds and a good few times their families were slaughtered to get to them."

That was checkable fact, if he was lying about it he would not choose something that checkable. The war had a lot of deaths but they had never heard of missing children from the darker families. "What does this have to do with Harry," Neville demanded getting to the most important point, "And why should we believe you."

Lysander cringed since this was not going to be taken well but he had gotten this far, "my parents, the day they went to the Longbottom's they said that they had found Lori and Scorpius, that they would be bringing them home, look I am not going to claim I am sorry about the Longbottom's, I am not. I could care less but I sure as hell want my sister back and I will do everything in my power to find her and bring her home..."

Neville growled slightly at that comment. He was an orphan or as good as thanks to the Lestranges actions. "What does that have to do with me," Harry demanded since that was not an answer, at least not really. She was trying to keep the peace since Neville looked prepared to attack and the Weasleys weren't much better. "I don't know where your sister is and I don't know why you would assume I did."

Lysander looked at her seriously, focusing her instead of everyone else, "the Lestrange family are descendent from Salazar Slytherines sister, we can speak parselmouth."

Now each of them looked at him shocked, especially Neville and Harry. No one knew Neville was a parselmouth but Harry. What were the odds that they were parselmouths and not the two people they were speaking of. That had been the last thing they were expecting. They could tell he wasn't accusing them of knowing where his sister and cousin were but instead he was questioning if they were. "You think I am your sister," Harry demanded though it was clear she was shaken from the statement. She had wondered where the parselmouth came from, she had been told that the Potters were strictly light family, no connection to Slytherine and yet she was a parselmouth. It wasn't possible, she did not want it to be possible. "That's not even remotely possible, I look too much like my dad."

"Yeah and his mother was a black, he looked like her," Lysander stated, this was news to Harry but it still did not prove anything. "Look you don't believe me, I get that. (P) But you can understand thisss and sssso can Neville here, ssstrange ssseing asss the longbottemssss dont have a connection to the lesssstrange family or the gaunt family, the only two known parsssselmouth linessss."

Neville bit his lip, no one was supposed to know that he could speak parseltoung. He had hid it his entire life. He was a pureblood and was raised knowing a lot about 'gifts' in family lines and he had known his family did not show any signs but he had never guessed the reason. He shook his head because this was a trick, a trap of some sort and not really happening, "Your parents tortured mine into insanity."

"Or they tortured them to find you and my sister, don't believe me that's fine. I can understand that it sounds crazy but think about it for a moment. Why would my parents go after yours Neville? Why can you understand Parseltoung? All you have to do is get a Gringotts test," Lysander stated desperate for answers, a test would prove it, there would be no questioning it them. "Ask them to do a parentage line test and then if I am wrong you can laugh in my face...or if I am right then you can gain a family."

"What family, your parents are in Azkaban where they belong," Neville stated but he was clearly hesitant and angry but Harry froze at that comment. Gain a family. Did she really want a family if it was them?

Fred and George knew better, they knew the law. If this was fact then it changed everything. They could now understand why he was so desperate, beyond the fact that it was possible they were related. It was so much further reaching then just that. "No Neville, if you're Scorpius Lestrange..."

"Black, uncle Rabasten took his husbands name," Lysander corrected.

"Or Black then they will be released from Azkaban," Fred stated shocking them. "There only crimes were attacking the Longbottom's. If you're not a Longbottom but were abducted they have every right to complete the attack."

"They can call right of heir, head of family and if the Longbottom's were responsible for their sons abduction, they can do absolutely anything in their power to get them back," George explained looking at Lysander, he would never make this claim if it wasn't true. They could torture, kill anything in protection of their child. If this was true, despite the depravity of their actions, neither Weasley twin could blame them.

"Its old laws, a child is considered sacred in the wizarding world, too few of them. The abduction of a child is the largest crime and the head of family can do everything necessary to free them. If you are Scorpius Black, then what they did would be declared a rescue mission. Torturing the Longbottom's would be seen as necessary for the return of two children to the family," Fred finished.

"Wizenmagot law 4858, if you're my cousin and the Longbottom's had custody of what was declared an abducted child, then it could be assumed they'd know where Lorelei was and my parents could legally do everything to get the information from them," Lysander stated. "Look, maybe it's a long shot but you need to admit, it's a large coincidence that the house they went to after claiming they knew where you were was the Longbottom's and you can speak parseltoung."

Harry bit her lip, that was very clearly a large coincidence and she did not believe in coincidences. Not anymore, not after everything they had seen. "I can feel you're telling the truth," she admitted finally which made a large difference to the Weasley twins. "You really think I am your sister don't you?"

"Yes, look Harry you have my mother's deep emerald green eyes, you have the black family features with just a bit of Lestrange. You are 12 years old, born the end of July, you're a parselmouth. You have a bit of Potter and that women, most likely they could have blood adopted you. Neville, you have the dark hair of the Black family and a perfect mixture of Black and Lestrange features but just enough Longbottom to throw people off. The Longbottom's are an off shoot of the blacks so it could be turned away, blood adoption," Lysander stated realizing that they were listening, at least Harry was. "But if I am right then my parents did nothing wrong, they were just trying to find you both."

The room grew silent as everyone thought about what was just revealed to them. Harry knew that this was no trick, there was too much at stake. "Fine, I will get the test," Harry said after a moment. "But they were death eaters, they weren't innocent."

Lysander shook his head quickly wanting to be sure that they understood the difference. He understood that nearly no one except the Slytherines really understood who was who in the last war. They had just all gotten lumped together. His parents, they had tortured the Longbottom's so they were not exactly innocent but they weren't the monsters the world made them out as.

"Your confusing Riddle with Voldemort," Lysander said shocking her since she was under the assumption that they were the same people. "My parents supported Thomas Riddle who yes attacked your home. Which is why I know you have to be Lorelei, Thomas Riddle swore to do whatever he could to bring you...Lorelei home. Voldemort isn't Riddle and Voldemort stole the death eater's mark and masks. My parents were an original death eater who followed the true dark lord. Voldemort was a wannabe who wished to start a war. No one knew who he was, he just popped up with a group of people and started slaughters. Anyone that my parents group killed was because they were looking for the missing dark pureblood children."

The Gryffindors did not look like they agreed but then again they had brought up far too much at once and they were too shocked to even think about the logistics of what he was revealing. That could wait since they did not think that they could handle any more being revealed. "Fine, you want us tested we will get tested to prove a point," Neville stated still not in agreement but they could see his resolve breaking, "only to prove a point."

That was all he wanted to hear, all the tension and the nervousness seemed to leave him. "Thank you," Lysander said gratefully. "Look, it may be a longshot but thank you."

"Leave us alone until then," Fred ordered since he did not want anyone else to know what was going on and he knew that the two younger students had enough issues as it was. They did not need being friends with a snake added to the reasons to target them, "people are giving Harry enough trouble without a snake around."

Lysander nodded quickly but he did have something else to ask, "You know, you should get tested as well."

Again, nothing could be more of a surprise then Lysander's statement. They fully knew who they were, their parents were still alive and they had all the Weasley family traits. They couldn't understand what he was on about now. "Why" George demanded, was this a trick?

This wasn't as important to Lysander himself but he had their attention, he would bring it up to them. "Persius, Fredveren and Geogen Blerek, odd, your brother Percival is the same age as Persius would have been. You both are the same age as the twins, Fredveren and Geogen. Funny how there are two sets of identical twins which such similar names," Lysander said leaving the Gryffindors shocked.

He left and not one of them spoke for a few minutes, just trying to rap their minds around everything just said. Harry looked at Fred and George, "Is this even possible," she asked finally, it sounded so absolutely unbelievable but she needed to know, "I mean, it sounds insane."

"Parsetoung is a rare gift," Fred stated since it made all too real of sense even though it sounded insane. "Really rare, as in almost unheard of. To find three in the same generation and have them not be related is extremely hard to see."

"And our family, 7 kids is almost impossible and the names and ages, if he is not completely bullshitting us then well..." George let his voice trail off but they all got the point. This was possible, worse it was likely. "We just need to figure out how to get to gringotts."

That brought about a very big problem for all of them. "My aunt and uncle would never let me," Harry stated.

"Neither will my gran," Neville added.

The twin's instantly began plotting, their conversation was near silent, poking in a few words every now and then. The two second years just sat back and let them go on having no idea what they were even talking about.

Finally the twins spoke to them. "We can get to Gringotts if we go to Alberforths and floo, it is breaking every school rule. The best time will be the day before we leave to go home which means we have two days. We don't have exams, they were cancelled because of the basilisk."

"Can you get us there," Neville asked again, they seemed to have a plan, a plan that could get them in a lot of trouble but a part of them were almost hopeful. They needed answers to understand. Now that it was out there, they just needed answers. "Because this sounds insane but if he's right...then I won't have to live with my gran anymore."

Harry's eyes lit up having not even considered that fact. If they were not who the world thought them to be, they would not have to go back to their guardians. They would be free from them. Maybe they would be with someone worse but it was possible that it would be a real escape. "That would mean I won't have to return to the Dursleys," Harry stated.

Suddenly, the twins hoped that the Slytherines claims were true. It sounded horrible but they actually hoped that they were kidnapped as children since it would mean that they were safe...then again they weren't sure that them living with Azkaban prisoners was any better.
