I know I know it's been forever since I've updated. But hey I'm not dead! Read on...

Chapter 4

When their eyes locked, he saw her. "Lily". Harry became confused at this.

"Um Sev, there's no Lily here."

Severus then looked at Harry in anguish.

"I know Harry, I know. She has been dead going on sixteen years. I thought your eyes looked familiar, but I never knew. I didn't know, I thought that Evan was the only survivor."

"Whoa, whoa Severus please slow down and take a deep breath. Let's start at the beginning. Now who are Lily and Evan?" said Jennifer who had a history of dealing with emotional people, so she knew how calm down the potions professor.

Severus knew that this was going to happen but it didn't make it any easier. He prayed to Merlin for strength as he was about to bring up old memories and old wounds. He then took that breath that Jennifer suggested. "Lily Evans Potter was my best friend along with her husband James Potter. As far as I knew, they only had one son. Evan Potter. Apparently not. Harry, Lily was your mother."

Harry went into overload with emotions and they ran across his face. Interest, curiosity, sadness, anger, fear, determination, and love. "You know my parents? Where are they? Why did they leave me? You said that I have a brother? What is he like? Is he okay? Where is he?" Harry was shooting the questions out like a machine gun.

"Harry breathe in and out, you're going a mile a minute. Sev, what do you mean by Evan being a survivor? You sound like there was a war." Said Jeremy who by the way used to be a detective so he knew how to word the questions to get an effective answer.

Severus sighed. "There's a lot you don't know yet. I assume that you've studied World War II in history?" they all nodded. "Well even in the Wizarding world there is racism. There are what we call purebloods. They are wizards and witches whose family has only married another witch or wizard. No non-magical marriages. They abhor the very idea of mixing non-magical bloodlines with magical. 26 years ago a wizard named Tom Marvolo Riddle, also known as Lord Voldemort started a war in the world to eradicate all non-magical blood from the world. Think Hitler only no dorky mustache. 10 years into his war, I was stupid enough to get into a fight with my childhood friend and join his forces in retaliation. Soon after I realized my mistake when I learned something that could end the war for good. It was a prophesy concerning the Dark Lord and an infant. This little boy has the power to defeat the Dark Lord. Once the information reached the right people, the Potters went into hiding. Then he attacked. James died giving Lily a chance to get you and your brother out. He was going to spare her but she ran into the path of the Killing Curse, which held true to its name." Severus had to pause for a moment. Even after 15 years, he still felt the pain of his best friend's death. "We found Evan in a secret cupboard in a wall, but there was no sign of you Harry. Like you didn't exist. I didn't even know that Lily had carried twins. Since it seemed that you brother was the only survivor, we assumed the he was the "chosen one". We were sure that it was Evan since the Dark Lord disappeared after that attack and hasn't been seen since. Now I'm not so sure. Evan was found unblemished after the attack. Surely the "chosen one" should have a mark."

Jessica is an extremely bright girl for her years. She had thought long and hard about what Mr. Snape was saying and put two and two together. She decided to voice her thoughts. "Like a scar?"

"What?" Eloquent Snape real eloquent. Severus thought to himself, but hey come on. He just had to go through all of the pain and misery again.

"Well Harry has a scar on his forehead. He's had it since before even we found him. It's really cool! It looks like a lightning bolt. Harry doesn't like it. He hides it with his abilities." Added Julia.

Severus seemed to be thinking again. "Could I see it Harry?"

"Sure" was the only reply from the young wizard. He was taking all this information pretty well. He dropped his glamours. Now Harry had a scar on his forehead and some more hidden beneath his clothes (we'll learn about those later). He also looked much more attractive. "Harry why do you hide your looks?" asked Severus he was mystified. Before Harry was good looking but now, he was beautiful.

"Although my family doesn't care what I do, the guys at school do and my looks attract the violent ones. So I put a damper on them." Harry explained.

"Well with your knowledge and instincts for using magic at this level I think that it's safe to say that you will have no trouble getting into Hogwarts."

"I'll be with my brother?" Harry asked and for the first time since Severus met him, Harry sounded unsure and very timid.

"Yes Harry, you would be with your brother. I know for a fact that he longs for family." Severus said in that seductive deep baritone voice of his.

"How do you know?"

"Because I've been training him since he was nine years old. He lives with the teachers in the castle. I know him very well. You can see the longing in his eyes, like he knows something was taken from him and it was still out there..."

" I get that feeling all the time. As much as I love the girls I always felt like something was missing."

"Sweet Merlin! Jennifer,Jeremy I need to take Harry with me to Hogwarts for a couple of days. It is of the upmost importance." said Severus who was now pacing back and forth.

"Sure why not, it's summer. Harry go pack a few things okay." said Jeremy

Severus wanted to assure that Harry would be safe with him so that what he did. "He'll be safe with me Jennifer, don't worry."

"I won't I trust you Severus". Harry rushed into his room to grab a few more outfits to put in his bag and his toiletries. Five minutes later.."Okay Sev I'm ready. Sev does this mean that I'll meet my brother?"

"Yes Harry, you'll meet Evan hopefully tonight. You should have a jacket or a sweater with you Harry. The castle gets quite cold at night in the dugeons." was what Severus said. Then Harry ran back into his room to grab his Linkin Park hoodie and came back in thirty seconds. After hugging and kissing his family goodbye Harry and Severus held onto each other as Severus shifted them to the school. A few seconds later Harry found himself at a set of gates and in the distance he saw the castle. Severus opened the gates and the walked up the path to the entrance doors. Once they reached the front steps Severus spoke to Harry. "Welcome Harry to Hogwarts Castle!" As soon as Severus said those words a teenage boy with brown hair and hazel eyes came into view.

"Hey Sev, what are you doing back so so...on," the boy looked at the other teen and said only one thing to him, "Harry?".
