Hey guys, it's iluvjasperhalemorethanedcullen again and I want to thank the reviewer whose user name I cannot remember & I can't check FFN because someone *cough* me *cough* was on FFN while she was suppose to be cleaning her room so I am writing this on 9/20/09 but it will not be posted until the weekend. School is kicking my ass & as an IA student I should be doing my French HW but I decided that I should try and get this typed out while the parents are at my friend's house. BTW I'm going through some friend drama at the moment so my writing is a little off. Oh and I'm going to try out for the talent show at my school so I have to practice. Oh and if anyone want to Beta for me that's cool. I have some friends at school that want me to email my stuff to them to read.

I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE ELEMENTS IN MY STORY. I JUST OWN MY OCS AND THE STORYLINE.

The Other Side of Things

Chapter 2: How things came about

What? You came back? Well at least some people are brave. Time to let you in on secret #1. Lily Evans had two sisters not one like people originally thought. Petunia was the oldest, the ROSE, and then Lily. Rose was born in January while Lily was born premature in August. The girls were always closest when they were younger. That is until Severus Snape came into the picture. He "stole" Rose and Lily from Petunia and for that she always hated him. Yes Lily and Severus were closer that Severus and Rose, but there was still a bond between those two. Maybe that is why he tolerated me during my years at Hogwarts. Then the letters came addressed to Rose Evans and Lily Evans from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry (could they have come up with a longer name?). The two girls vowed that they would never let anything come between them. However, when the first day of Hogwarts came and they were both sorted into Gryffindor, that plan was changed.

Lily decided that she would hang out with Sev and the other Gryffindors while simultaneously fighting off the egomaniacs that were James Potter and his friends. Rose on the other hand put all house prejudice aside and welcomed those from other houses into her inner circle. Amanda Juleret, a Slytherin, and Lucy Criston, a Ravenclaw, quickly became her best friends. Rose was the type of person that as soon as she walked into a room everything stopped. She was young and beautiful and she knew it. In fact, her first day there, she was hit on by all of the 7th years, in all of the houses. The man that she caught the eye of most was Christopher Matthews. She was like James was with Lily and that should tell you how well they got along. Christopher was two years older than her and you guessed it, my father.

Chris had his own little group of "merry men". Jacob Solomon, a Slytherin, and Michael Morgan, a Ravenclaw. While Chris and Jacob were best friends there was still a little bit of the house rivalry going on between those two. Not to the point where they were hexing each other in the halls but they would make bets as to which house would win the cup that year seeing as both of them were on their house's team. Chris and Jacob were both chasers and Michael was their spectator. The romance between my father and mother is not for some time though and his two friends do not get their happy ending until a year from this time.

So now I guess that it's time for secret #2. Lily, Rose, and their family were not muggle/ muggle-borns. No they were all purebloods but the magic that they had was formatted differently from the rest of the school's. Magic is formatted in two different ways. You can have the "I want this so I am going to picture myself having it and letting myself have it." Or you can have the "I need a wand to do everything." They are two very distinct kinds. The first kind is more common with the Coventry's royals though. The Evans girls were not from this place anyways. Oh and that crap where Miranda is the queen of Coventry is just that, crap. She was the top adviser to my grandmother into the later years of her rule.

In Coventry society is different completely. There, girls are valued higher than boys are. I want you to keep that in mind for the rest of my tale. It is very key to understanding all that I am going to tell you.

The world that I live in can be summarized in two words. Conflicting. Information. The place that I am a princess of was telling me that I'm worth more than my older brother who was not named an heir, but I will get into that in further detail later. Meanwhile, I would come home from princess lessons just be told that he was worth more than me. See the confusion five year old me faced? But that will be elaborated also later. Onto my father.

As already stated, he found his friends not in his house but in two different houses. He grew up in a house of all boys. The only girl was my grandmother; the "aunt" that was adopted into the family came long after my father moved out. He grew up with the idea that women were possessions for men to play with. You had a bad day? Go beat up your wife, you'll feel better. That is the atmosphere that he lived in. So naturally, he thought this was okay… right up until he tried that shit at Hogwarts. Needless to say, that did not go over well. Chris was a Gryffindor, "Where dwell the brave at heart. Their daring, nerve and chivalry set Gryffindors apart." Chivalrous my ass. My father would have not known chivalry if it bit him on the tip of his nose. It was not smart to sort him there, but if the sorting hat would not have then I might not be here telling you this tale.

When he first saw her, he of course tried his usual stuff. It didn't work. She saw through everything. This had never happened to him before. So he kept trying and trying and trying until she finally said yes, after four years. She never told him that she was a rich princess or who her parents were. I love my mom, but she should have told him. They dated for the rest of her years at Hogwarts and were happy together, for the most part. She moved out of the dorms at Hogwarts and in with Chris. Three months later they were engaged and two years after they got engaged they were married with a three-year-old son. Yes you read that right and I did my math correctly. My brother was three when my parents were married. But not only did she not tell him that she was a wealthy royal, she never did tell him why she finally said yes to him. She worked for the Americans in Langley. No, not the CIA Langley because the CIA is not under any circumstances a part of Langley, they wish. Since she worked in Langley, she got to do what ever she wanted. If Chris would have found out, he would have killed her.
