Chapter 01
The Unknown Potter Child
--
At The Beginning
Once Voldemort has already made his escape, with barely his life, Hagrid makes his way into the home of the Potters. Looking around he finds the body of Lily Potter near to her concious son. Harold James Potter looks up at Hagrid with such fasination and Hagrid lifts the young toddler from the floor and wraps him in a blanket, hoping to swayed him to sleep.
As Hagrid is making his way to the door he notices the crying of another child. Making his way into a dark room he notices that the Potters had more than just one child. Looking into the playpen-like crib Hagrid takes in what he sees there. Inside the bed with walls is another child, a female child to be exact.
He's known about this child for years, Dumbledore on the other hand knows nothing of her. That might have also been a reason that she's still alive, Voldemort doesn't know about her either. A promise between the Potters and Hagrid himself. Hagrid's been known to spill the beans so easily but for some reason he's been good enough to keep silent about this one here.
Lightly lifting the girl into his other arm after having Harry wrapped to his chest. He looks into her eyes as she begins to tug on his great beard. He laughs lightly as she begins to giggle before beginning to bouce a bit in his grasp.
"Hair!" She exclaims to Hagrid in delight.
"Aye, dat be me hair ye be pullin'." Though it sounds as a complaint, he never tries to remove her hands from his long and bushy facial hair. He looks into her eyes again, this time sadness is evident within his usually cheerful gaze. "'Fraid I'm gonna have ta be da one ta sep'rate ye and yer litt'e brader here."
A small sob escapes the young child's throat. Though she's young she understands pretty well what he means. Hagrid turns from her bed and makes his way out of her room, Harry already having fallen asleep once in the presence of his older sister. Hagrid looks down at the child in his arm, she looks up at him with such gorgeous clear green eyes, the same as her younger twin.
"I'll be takin' ye ta a good friend of mine. She loves chi'dren, good ones dat is." With that in mind Hagrid makes his way off into Muggle London.

"Hagrid, you've got to be joking. I can't just take this child. Who is she anyways?" Even as she says this she makes her way to her kitchen to get a bowl with warm water and a clean rag. Once she claims these items she returns to her living room with the half giant and children. Taking the female child she begins to wipe her face clean with said rag.
"Oh come on Adaliz, ye've always be want'n chi'dren. Jus' take her and be done with it. She'll be need'n a home after dis here e'ening anyways." Looking up to Hagrid with a pointed glare Adaliz sees meaning in his works.
"Very well then Hagrid. What's her name?" Hagrid looks around before ducking down to Adaliz's level.
"Ye mus' swear not ta say a word." Nodding her head Hagrid feels it safe to continue. "Her name is Harmonie Abagail Potter." Adaliz gasps.
"But I thought the Potters only had one child!" She silently exclaims. Hagrid shakes his head.
"No, they had twins. Though no one else but the dead Potters, myself and now ye know about this. Ye mus' swear ta say no words 'bout this." Adaliz nods her head once again as she looks down to the child in her arms.
"The Potters had another child. I understand now why no one's ever said anything." Adaliz looks up at Hagrid, "She's our true savior isn't she?" Hagrid nods his head as she begins to make his way towards the door. "I swear not to tell a soul Hagrid, you can trust me still.
"After so many years I'm still your confident. For extra safety measures I'll give her my surname, she's no longer a Potter by name but merely by blood now. She is now..." Looking down into the same eyes that Hagrid did earlier Adaliz finishes with a soft and tender tone. "... Harmonie Abagail Pasbell."
With that said Hagrid's out the door and on his way across Muggle England to take Harry to his fated home with the Dursleys at number four, Privet Drive.

Arriving with his magical moter scooter Hagrid approaches Professor Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and Professor McGonagall, Headmistress of the very same school and also the head of one of their four class groups. ("Though you all already know which she's head of and what all four of 'em are, plus their heads." :) "I hope..." ) Hagrid stands tall before the two before handing Harry to Dumbledore.
"Sorry it took me so long Professor Dumbledore, I got caught in traffic." Hagrid lies though Dumbledore shows no sighs of noticing.
Turning around Dumbledore makes his way up the driveway and places Harry down in front of the door, with a letter and a few words of protest from Professor McGonagall. Giving her his reasoning for such he turns to a sniffling Hagrid.
"There, there Hagrid, this isn't good bye forever." Hagrid nods his head.
That isn't what Hagrid is crying over though. He's crying over the fact that he had to seperate the twins and place them in completely different homes. Harmonie into a home of love and open arms. Harry into a home of loveless and selfish people that would throw him back out given the perfect oppertunity. Though Hagrid won't tell Dumbledore other wise from what the old wizard thinks.
For now, until the day comes, Hagrid will just have to live with knowing that he's seperated the two saviors of the wizarding and muggle world alike. That is something that later Hagrid finds to be more difficult than not. Though Hagrid over the years does maintain his promise to the Potters to never tell of the fact that they've had twins. Only one soul figures out from Hagrid in the end. Whether that person tells afterwards is up to them.
