Chapter 1:
A Trip to Hogsmeade
Two young teenagers sat side by side, the young girl's eyes stubborn and full of defiance. Beside her was her twin Severus. Her name was Erica Crystal Snape, but she went by her mother's maiden name Knight. She was the only Gryffindor of her horrid family who had all been Slytherin. Her mother was the kindest of her family, and she visited her during the summers. She and her twin Severus were both 5th years at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. At the moment they were at their family's home in Hogsmeade, her beloved wolf Sapphire, a silvery gray and white wolf with a blue nose and blue eyes on the couch by her, his head in her lap, his tail lightly thumping the arm rest of the couch. Her brother held a smug expression on his face.
"You are so going to get it Erica." He said with an arrogant smile on his face.
"Shut up twin," she started. "It's that idiots fault, besides what do you expect me to do? I am a beater it's my job, besides that is Quidditch, what do you expect? Oh I'm going to be nice and not hurt anyone and lose the game for Gryffindor? No that is not how it works!" she yelled.
The whole reason she was in this predicament was in a recent Quidditch game, where she was a beater for the team, a idiotic Slytherin boy had tried to full on bludge James, one of her best guy friends, and the Gryffindor Quidditch team's Seeker. She bounced it back and it hit him causing him to fall. And her parents were watching that day. Oops…
Severus rolled his eyes, "Whatever Erica, you're going to get it." He said and before Erica could say anything, her father walked in looking very disgruntled.
"What were you thinking?" he asked growling a little.
Erica rolled her eyes, a bored expression on her face. "I was thinking I was not going to let that idiot of a Slytherin hurt James." She said frowning softly. James was one of her friends she had met through Lily the first person she met at Hogwarts and her best friend, though at first it was not a good impression but through Quidditch practice he soon showed he was quite the charming teenager.
"You should have let the boy win! So what if that Potter boy got a few bruises! Why can't you be like your brother? A perfect slytherin, with the best marks, and-"
"That's enough of that." She said frowning deeply. "No wonder mother left you, you're a rotten old man…" she said. "Listen and listen carefully, Gryffindor is my home and everyone there is my family. I would never deliberately hurt them, especially James, he's my best friend." She said growling a little.
Severus tensed a little, although he thought his sister could be a nuisance he didn't particularly care to see his father and sister going at it like this.
Her father glared at her, then glanced at Snape, "Severus… leave your sister and I be for awhile. Go back to Hogwarts." He said slowly.
Erica's eyes darted to her brother who went by his sur name, so a lot of his classmates called him Snape, so it was her job to annoy him by calling him by his actual name. He returned the glare and stood to start to go back to Hogwarts. It was the weekend and they were allowed to go to Hogsmeade. She rolled her eyes and stood and turned to also leave, not wanting to listen to her father, Sapphire jumping down ready to join her.
Her father glared after her, "Don't you turn your back on me when I'm talking to you, young lady!" he yelled. Erica glanced back over her shoulder, and rolled her eyes, and clicked her tongue and Sapphire was following her out the door.
Her father raised his wand and chanted a hex. As Erica turned she felt herself be thrown into the wall, and felt a searing pain shoot through her side. She looked down and saw that she was bleeding. Sapphire suddenly doubled in size, growling at her father who just sneered with this close to evil expression look on his face, turned and walked back to his study. Sapphire lowered himself so Erica could climb on. He was soon galloping towards Hogwarts, going to fast for anyone to be able to see. He had to stop at Whoomping Willow because she blacked out, and fell to the ground. Sapphire let out a distressed howl, a cry for help.
Erica's head spun. She had only tried to protect her friend… her father didn't understand friendship. Or that she would give anything to see that they were safe and happy. Her mind drifted to the events that led to this.
