Stasha Hermione Snape

Chapter 11

A/N Okay this is mainly just the will and more from Lori's parents. I threw some more twist in there, I just couldn't resist. Enjoy.

Up in the heads room, Stasha, her mom, dad, and uncle where finally recovering from there laughing fit. Stasha was the first to come back to the lad of the sane.

"Well, I suppose we had better read their will. Hopefully something in there will make it easier for us to keep Lori from her aunt." Everyone quickly sobered and Rose retrieved the some piece of paper from the envelope.

(A/N Okay so, I don't really have any clue as to how wills are actually written, so I am just going to make this up. Hopefully I won't botch it up too bad, please be patient with me.)

Samantha Appleton and Leo Appleton do hereby request that in the event of our death that our daughter, Lori Appleton, is placed with Severus Snape, if he can be located, on the grounds that he is her biological father, from a sperm donation. If for some reason that he cannot be found or that he is unable to care for Lori, then we request that our daughter is placed in the custody of Frank and Rose Granger. Their daughter Hermione Granger is Lori's godmother. (Even though precious few knows that fact.) We also request that they adopt our Little Lori.

If by some chance this will is not located in a timely manner and Lori is placed with Leo's sister, Ursula Malfoy, then we request for her immediate removal form the home, and an full investigation to take place as to her care of Lori. We have seen proof that Ursula is abusive to children. She murdered her own child and was not investigated for some unknown reason. We request that she be required to stay away form Lori, form the moment she is removed from her care (or lack thereof).

All of our worldly processions, which are of any worth, have been placed in a secure location, so that Leo's family could not have access to them. We have given them to Frank Granger for him to put in safekeeping. He has assured us that this has been done. We ask that he return these items to Lori when she becomes of age. There is also an account that he opened in her name. The money in that account is to help with her schooling and living expenses until she is of age. Leo and I have a life insurance policy with Lori named as the beneficiary. Our lawyer was instructed to deposit that money into an account for Lori, which provides Ursula with no access to it.

Please see to it that out little Lori is taken care of. Also let her know that we love her. There is another page that I wish you to read as well. Please don't stop reading until you are done.

Now onto another little known fact. We have not told anybody this, and we wish that Hermione will do some research to get more information for Lori on this matter. I, Samantha Appleton, am a witch. I know that some of you who are reading this are curious as to why I never reveled my self to you. I could not. I have been in hiding for over half my life. When I was born I was born into a family that were very strict and by the book. Once I started doing accidental magic, they put me in an orphanage and signed over all parental rights. I found out when I was 7 that they had two more children, the youngest one being a witch also, she was only 3 at the time. They however did not give this child up. They embraced her and her magic.

I did not attend any official school for magic. I was living on the streets when I was 10 and came across a dirty looking pub. I went inside and found that there were more people like me. The barkeep, Tom, took me in. He taught me all about magic and the magical world. He said that I could not be found out living there. He said that I had to stay hidden. So I worked with the house elves in the kitchen and they taught me to be discreet and even more magic. Tom paid me for all the work I did. He was very good to me. However when I was 17, I had to leave that little pub. I had to make myself known in the muggle world. I kept in touch with Tom though.

When I was 27 I heard through Tom that my younger sister had gotten married and was expecting a child. I was so happy for her, even thought I never knew her. I had already meet and married Leo and we were living down the road from the Grangers. Rose had just had Hermione. (This was when we had decided that we wanted a child as well, and started looking into the possibilities.) Anyway Christmas time in 1982, we found out that my sister and her husband had died. Tom had told me. I had lost touch with him over the years and we only really talked around Christmas. He explained to me about what happened to Voldermort when he tried to kill my nephew. He told me that he believed that my nephew went to live with my other sister. I was furious, but alas there was nothing I could do about it.

Hermione, you might have figured out who it is that my nephew is, and I am sure that anybody else who is a witch or a wizard has also. When I was born, my parents name me Daisy Samantha Evans. When they left me at the orphanage my name became Samantha Smith. I was so happy when you, Hermione, would talk about your friend Harry Potter in your letters to me. I knew he was my nephew, but I could not come forward and claim him. Any records of me before I was given up were destroyed. I have no proof that he is my nephew, however, I am a seer (hence my mother's intuition). Unfortunately without the proper training I didn't realize this, and could do nothing to prevent those horrible things from happening.

If you could please relay this information to Harry and Lori and anyone else you feel should know, I would appreciate it. Let Harry know that I am terribly sorry that I could not rescue him for the Dursley's, but I am very proud of him (seer don't forget). You all will have a lovely life I am sure of it now that Harry has fulfilled his destiny.

Well I do hope that you will take care of my little Lori for me. Hopefully this last page has let you know why I was acting so strangely those last couple of months. Stasha congratulations on finding your dad, and new sister.

Samantha and Leo Appleton.

A/N okay what did you think of that twist. So not only is Lori Stasha's half sister, she is also Harry's cousin. How is Harry going to react to knowing he had family out there other than the Dursley's all those years? And whom will Lori decide to live with. Find out in the next chapter.
