Harry awoke to another nightmare. They had been more frequent this summer. At first he'd believed it to be because of Cedric and the third test but slowly they were deviating from the third task to something else.
~ Return where you belong~
"Who said that?!"
~ You know, you don't belong here. You never did ... it is time to return home my son, it is time to come back where you belong. Back to your own time! ~
The nightmares were now coming while he was awake. That voice was so familiar, almost comforting...
"Father"
It felt right.
Suddenly a pendent fell from his ceiling in a swirling purple light. Inside the pendent Harry saw himself on one side surrounded by James, Sirius, Remus and Peter all the same age? On the other he saw himself leaning against a willowy woman with black hair, next to her was a tall, strict and yet warm looking man with onyx eyes. Finally below that man he saw a face he'd never forget, even if he appeared to be the same age as Harry in that picture- Severus Snape.
" I'm lost"
~ That much is for certain my son but where have you gone too? It's time to return home. things have changed since you left. We needed you, we still do, don't leave us again~
A banging at the door signalled Vernon was coming again, another night of this he couldn't take it why did these things always happen to him. When would he be 'Harry, just Harry'.
" BOY!!! WHAT WAS THAT PURPLE LIGHT?!!! I THOUGHT I VERY CLEARLY SAID NO!!!!!!!! FUNNY! STUFF."
" I didn't do anything sir, I swear!"
"Liar. I will not tolerate lying in this house" Vernon's voice had turned a deadly quiet.
"Lying only leads to more lies, lies fester and grow like filthy little maggots. Soon the world is filled with maggots and there are no longer any good people left- just the filth like you. Your kind are maggots of society, you need to be exterminated. I have tolerated you for far too long. Believing that maybe you weren't like 'them' that you were normal. You will never be anything you don't deserve to exist!"
As Vernon spit out this speech he punctuated his words and sentences with kicks and punches into Harry's chest and face. Harry desperately tried to cover his face and forget, he watched the sky and wished to return to where he belonged. Vernon left the room tired of 'beating a dead horse' as he said.
Harry stared at the mirror image of himself in the pendent and cried. It was time to return home, this wasn't his world and never would be. His world still held a chance of redemption, still held family.
A final purple light filled the sky signalling the disappearance of The-Boy-Who-Lived, The saviour of the wizarding world. This light also symbolized the return to Harry, the return to being 'Just Harry' once again. A world where he belonged.
Albus' eyes gleamed an odd colour as he recognized the young wizards decent into the unknown.
" We failed it seems, we pushed away our final chance, Did we ever truly have him anyways?"
Wishing the boy luck, Albus fell into a final sleep knowing this world no longer held any hope.

Chapter one
Makenai Snape smiled as she held her twin boys in her arms. Severus Senouris Snape and Heralden Michael Snape, she based their middle names on Christian and Wizard mythology. Michael was based on the arch-angel Michael, the most powerful of angels. Senouris was based on the closest thing to wizard religion, many thousands of years ago the first wizards believed in a 12 god system which fitted together showing th bases of all magics, the chart in which it was represented was calculated by the best arithmanticers and rune specialists of the time. Senouris was the fourth symbol on the chart representing Power and Rhythm.As for their first names makenai name them as was wizarding custom - the first child for the father, the second for the wizard who'd had the most impact on the family *usually a mentor, close friend, teacher or someone you owe a life debt to* Severus sr. walked and looked at his two sons feeling more proud then he ever remembered being in his life.
The two Snape children were as mischievous as they could come, Haralden had taken to being called just Harry while Severus still preferred to be called by his full name [not that anybody ever did, most found it better to call him Sev, Sevvy or Sevrin so as not to confuse him with his father]. Although the two were very similiar in appearence with their well-defined regal faces and shoulder length black hair they held a few differences. Harry's eyes were a serpentine green and Sev's were smooth and black like hematite, while Harry left his Harry left his hair go wild in tangles, Severus' hair was always well brushed and tied back. Enough of appearences though, suffice to say the two children were not 'identical' twins but in spirit they were one. There was never one occurence in their childhood where one would /ever/ be without the other.
" Harry! Wait up, we're going to get in trouble! You know father doesn't like us chasing the owls as they arrive!"
Harry smiled at his brother as the tawny owl came closer and closer to the property.
"Don't worry Sevrin, my dear brother. Today is July 31st! Do you know what that means?!?!?!"
" I do believe that it means that we are one year older HERALDEN, my dear brother."
" Nope! Completly wrong. How is it one day makes you one year older? I mean really I had you figured for more common sense then /that/! What I had been meaning was that today we should be receiving our Hogwarts letter and in case you did not notice that particular owl is wearing the Hogwarts crest!"
" Hmm... I do belive you are right. I bet that first one is mine! Although I don't see a second anywhere do you? You don't think one of us is a squib, or even worse EXPELLED!!!"
" Jeez, Sevrin quit being a twit. Y'know, I doubt they can expel us before we've even started. Anyways, maybe... maybe one came already and Mom is just keeping it until the other gets here so it's fair, she's always doing that sorta stuff right?"
Before worry could ovrecome either of the brothers any further the tawny landed in front of the two dropping a letter addressed; Snape twins - Heralden Michael and Severus Senouris.
Running at record speed the two ran the letter inside to show their parents.
They had been accepted!
AN Note: Yeeps! I made a chapter of something I'm going to continue! I've decided I'll update this once a week and maybe more depending on reviews. I apologise for my small chapters but I'm getting better at them. I would like to know what people think of this and whether it's ok so far. {Please Review!} As well Umm... this first chapter is dedicated to Deity for making the challenge. ^_____^ Bai Bai for now! p.s. the first chapter is sort of just an extension on the prologue so I kept them together.
