Chapter Four: It comes to Pass
Read and Review please.
(Dani's pov continue)
"Dani." came Harry's first word and lilly and james were shocked if their mouths opened like gaping fishes werent obvious enough. I felt so proud of my brother that I said his name back.
"Hari" I smiled at our parents and heard the floo go off and coming through the fireplace was my Severus.
"Sevris!" i'd squealed catching the composed potion master off guard making him trip before he took a second step. Looking down at us his eyes were comically wide and if you look closely you could see a warm smile tugging at his thin lips.
Sevris up" I reached for him with puppy eyes and he caved.
"mommy up!" Harry copied me and our mother was more then happy to comply. James felt left out and a little jealous of Severus.
"What about daddy? Dont I get a hug?" James whined and pouted making lily laugh and Severus's left eye twitch in distain.
"Daddy!" me and Harry said at the same time then giggled. James had a goofy grin on his face for the rest of the morning. Sirius and Remus came over and thankfully didnt attempt to prank Severus, well Remus didnt james and sirius on the other hand tried but Lily was on the prowl and gave them a good talking too.
Everything continued in that routine, until our birthdays. The normal routine suddenly shifted, Severus was rarely over and Professor Dumbledore visited more often than not in his place. Uncle Moony and Sirius were constantly over harry adored Moony as we had no aversion to his furry side. I knew why severus was rarely around and I didnt care, id already knew what was to come and accepted it.
I nevered showed mommy and daddy just how more advance I really was cause id wanted to experience a real childhood that I was denied in my past life. Harry was the only one who knew and kept quiet about it. I could speak to snakes and the same could be said about harry, though he could only understand it but not speak it. Severus found out when he was over last month. Me and harry were in the backyard by some thorn bush squatting down heads together.
(flashback starts)
Coming up behind us severus towered over our huddled form and froze in shocked and paled in fear.
~that dark man is funny~ said the little gardener snake hissed to us and with its tail pointed behind us. Harry was the first to turn around and jolt letting out an adorable "eep" I was next and gave a shy smile. I know how much he fears hearing someone speak in that language.
"Sevris..."
"do your parents know you can speak to snakes?" he asked quietly kneeling down to our level. We shook our heads and Severus sighed sadly.
"keep it that way, that form of speech has a bad reputation and only one person I know can speak it...becareful." he said looking at me mostly since he figured I was the real speaker and my brother could understand it.
"ok...we will..." I was the first to hug him then harry and we were picked up and carried back inside.
(flashback ends)
Well during Dumblydor's visits and secret meetings between the adults me and harry were mostly left to our own devices. We were learning to walk and secured in our play pen we had help. Remus came walking in to do his hourly checking when he saw us standing and attempting to walk.
"Lily, James, Sirius, Albus! Come see quick." Remus had a camera in hand and was taking pictures. The remaining adults came rushing at Remus's shout and they were at awe as we were trying to walk.
"They're only 14month old and already trying to walk..." Sirius was speechless and when he looked to the others especially James he barked out a laugh. James didnt seem to notice how funny he looked until Remus took a picture of it. James expression was that of worry, shock, disbelief and joy.
"Before you know it, they'll be ready for Hogwarts." Albus said sincerily his eyes twinkling madly with a smile upon his lips.
"My babies are gonna take after their mama..."Lily declared coming over to us drawing our attention. James followed suit and wrapped his arms around his wife lovingly and kissed her deeply. We giggled at the sight and that made everyone laugh.
It finally happened, that fated night. We've been moving from one safe house to the next and lily and james were tired of it and put their foot down. Now we come to the location of our home. As it was in the movies and book except now im part of it we were kept mostly indoors. We didnt mind but it was not the same. Our new babysitter was a balding short man whose name was Peter Pettigrew. Me and harry hated him right off the bat. Sirius was still present and was helping with the planning on securing the house more tightly with varies escape route.
"Siri stay safe..." we chimed together as Sirius was getting ready to leave. Sirius gave us a confused smile.
"dont worry pups, your uncle siri will be." he waved to James and the other adults and left. Being ignored for the rest of the day me and harry played. But I could help but feel anxious and dread rolling around in my stomach.
That fateful night happened. The front door was blasted opened and James began moving.
"lily, take the kids and run!" and lilly did just that. Harry was confused and on the verge of tears. I was calm but scared. Up the stairs, down the hall at the end of it was the door to our nursery. We could hear the fight going on downstairs before it was silence. A thump was heard and Lily hurried to put us in our shared crib and went to shut, lock and barricade the door. Turning back to us lily gave us a loving smile. She didnt get the chance to do the sacrifice ritual cause the Dark lord came so suddenly she didnt have time to prepare. She prayed to mother magic that she'll intervene on her behalf. The stairs creaked soundly in the quieted house and again silence.
A knock was heard and if I was a little older i'd would've fell over in laughter. The Dark lord just knocked on the door like he was just paying a visit.
"There's no where to hide!" he said in a hissing like voice and I wanted to speak but harry touched my hand and I kept my trap shut.
Our nursery door and the stuff blocking it was blasted off and away. Standing in the threshold was the feared Dark Lord. He looked real creepy up close and in person but handsome, to my eyes.
"Not my babies, please spare them...take me!" lily was praying to every deity that would listen to help her spare her children.
"Stand aside you silly girl, I only came for the brats." the dark lord hissed annoyed that this mudblood wont listen and do as he asked/commanded.
"Please take me not them. I beg you!" lily stood her ground though her mind was screaming for to flee but her motherly instincts were telling her to stay to fight and protect her youngs.
"i said stand aside and you wont have to die."
"No, take me instead!" Lily was once again pleading with the monster and since he was still talking maybe he could see reason, or maybe not. Me and harry were watching with wide eyes and curiosity. It was very vague in the movie and book but since im living this life I guess things are different here then what I'd watched.
"I'll ask one last-"
"No!" a third time is the charm in my opinion. The dark lord sneered and lifted his wand and aimed at the woman's chest. Instead of the killing curse he sent a stunner, a stunner mind you...i guess dark lords can be merciful.
"I've no time for this nonesense." he spat at our mother and stepped over her to us. Looking down at both of us, he was surprised how much alike we looked. His eyes went to me and we had a stare down. Something must've shown in my eyes for his eyes widen and a small smirk surfaced.
"The dark lord always keeps his words..." he whispered to me before turning his attention to my brother who was gazing at our mother with teary eyes.
"So, your suppose to be my downfall...dont worry you'll join your worthless father soon." Voldemort lifted his yew wand again and leveled it at harry and shot the dreaded killing curse. Time seemed to slow down as the sickly green beam came closer to hitting its mark. Something got a hold of me and made me move and id reached ot as if to capture the beam and did indeed stopped.
~leave my brother alone!~ I hissed at him and threw the curse back at him. He didnt dodge for he couldnt anyway not after finding out that one of the potter twins could speak the snake language. When the returned curse hit him dead on he exploded. The backlash knocked us back and harry was the first to be hit then me. Darkness took hold of my senses and I dimly heard a angry disembodied voice raged before all was quiet.
A/N: so how did I do? Im sorry if you find grammer mistakes but its my computers fault and some spellings are on purpose like misspelling dumbledor. Anyway ill continue updating this story and yes this is a story of my oc character Dani and Severus romance. Its rated T for Dani is still underage but when she's of age of consent i'll change it. I wont do heavy lemons later on i'll keep it light and sweet. Though I cant resist heavy snogging though lol. Dumbledore is manipulative to an extent but he's only human past his prime. I wont be doing much bashing on him but I cant say about the weaslys (excluding fred, george, bill and charlie, maybe Aurthur too) hermione.
A/N pt. 2: if you have any suggestions or whatnots leave them in the review or pm me. Though I check my mail every 3 hours.
