Chapter 19
The last time we left off Raven was chasing Harry around in Severus's quarters while Severus was laughing at the sight.
A/N: And now readers it is time for Raven Snape now to be called Hally Potter from this chapter on except for two who will continue to call her Raven.
HALLY'S BEDROOM TWO HOURS LATER…
The twins were sound asleep in their beds, Severus stood at the doorway checking in on the two after the nights ordeal that happened earlier; making sure that they were fine before closing the door slightly leaving it ajar.
Hally dreamt about winning the potions competition grinning from ear to ear when suddenly, she was pulled to another scene looking around at her surroundings confused.
'This isn't the potions competition what happened?' She thought to herself when she seen a huge fat man, a very thin woman with short dark hair, and a fat round boy with the same color hair as the woman standing in front of a raven haired boy with glasses…she realized at that moment that it was Harry looking at the three quietly.
She was getting ready to say hello to him when she heard the huge fat man yell,
"Don't lie to me boy! Did you take those cookies!" the fat man demanded Harry
"I told you Uncle Vernon that I didn't do it. I was right here the whole time," Harry answered with wide eyes
"You never do anything do you boy! Always innocent! I'll teach for stealing our food and lying about it!" Vernon roared seizing Harry's arm, and yanking him to make him follow him
"But Uncle Vernon, I didn't do it!" Harry exclaimed while Hally watched in horror on how her brother was being treated before she yelled at the huge man.
"He's telling the truth! Can't you see that he's telling the truth! What are you doing to him! Let go of my brother!" Hally screamed after she seen the man shove Harry into a tiny room closing and locking the door on him.
The man walked past her without notice, "And you'll stay in there boy until you learn not to steal!" Vernon bellowed out walking away
Hally ran to the door banging on it hearing Harry crying, "Harry, I'll get you out somehow," Hally called out trying to unlock the door when she was pulled back from being shaken by Severus.
"Raven, wake up…oaf! You're shaking young lady what is the matter with you?" Severus questioned quietly making not to wake Harry from his sleep
"Dad, it was Harry I saw. He was…he was being put into a cupboard," Hally began to sob
"What?" Severus enquired looking at her in shock while she looked over seeing Harry fidget in his sleep quietly
"Dad I have a feeling that Harry's home isn't a good place for him," Hally whispered rubbing her eyes.
"Come with me now Raven, and tell me everything," Severus beckoned her knowing that she never told a tall tale in her life.
The two slipped out of the room while Harry continued to sleep fidgeting and mumbling in his sleep.
SEVERUS'S QUARTERS THE NEXT MORNING
Harry woke up the next morning seeing Hally already dressed coming out of the bathroom quietly putting her school robe on before stopping in front of him.
"Morning Harry, um… Me and dad want to talk to you after you get ready ok?" Hally asked
"Uh sure no problem," Harry answered getting up and heading to the bathroom next
'I know where this is going, so long Harry,' Harry thought closing the bathroom door
Hally heard his thoughts shaking her head leaving the room meeting up with Severus,
"Harry thinks that we're going to give him the boot dad," Hally informed him sitting down beside the potions master.
"Well he'll find out that we won't, now calm down. If it is exactly like you described from the dream you had…it most definitely has been going on for quite sometime, and it will explain why the boy is thin for his age," Severus spoke quietly just before Harry came out with his things.
"Harry…" "Hey it was great to know you too Hally; I'll just be on my way…"
"Mr. Potter sit down!" Severus ordered the boy
Harry sat down across from them crossing his arms, "Well let's get on with the shove off…"
"Harry we're not trying to shove you off," Hally told him "Your not?" Harry asked wearily
"No Mr. Potter we are not, however we feel that it is necessary to speak to," Severus answered him
"About what?" Harry enquired seeing the two look at each other quietly before continuing
"Well Harry dad and I were talking and…"
"We thought that it would be a good idea for Raven to spend the summer holidays with you and your relatives this year," Severus spoke out while Hally looked away in shock
"No!" Harry quickly answered him with wide eyes
"Why not?" Severus questioned keeping a straight face
"Because…we…always…go to America during the summer…"
"I know what has been going on Harry. I was pulled into your dream last night," Hally spoke out
Harry looked at her before getting up, "You don't know anything about my home," Harry retorted in anger
Hally sighed, "Tell me Harry is Uncle Vernon, if that is his name, A huge fat man?" Hally questioned
Harry stopped in his tracks in surprise looking down at her, "And is there a very thin dark haired woman, and a fat round boy?" Hally pressed
Harry collapsed on the sofa with a dazed look on his face. "I think it's time to tell us the truth Harry," Hally commented while Severus went to his small kitchen to get a cup of coffee.
Harry slowly began to tell them what his life was like in his home after Severus sat back down listening to the raven haired boy. Hally listening leaned into Severus's side while his arm went around her for support until Harry finished his story. Hally looked up at Severus just then.
"Dad isn't that called abuse?" Hally asked Severus after getting over the great shock from what was going on for the last ten years to Harry
"Yes Raven, it is abuse. I will be talking to our headmaster about this situation. Mr. Potter I will suggest that while you are here you are to eat. You have nothing to worry about here and do not worry about me telling everyone, I will remain silent until you are ready to talk to others about this," Severus stated ushering them out of his quarters along with him.
DUMBLEDORE'S OFFICE 7:30 A.M.
Professor Dumbledore sat back in his chair listening to the situation before him while Severus raised his voice every now and then informing him that he would not let anything else happen like that to Harry again before going into deep thought after they finished.
"Albus, you know as well as I do that this boy cannot continue to live like…like… an animal! There has to be something done for Mr. Potter," Severus replied at last taking a deep breath
The headmaster observed the twins holding each others hand with Hally looking at him with pleading eyes while Harry looked at her grinning keeping her calm. A gleam came into his eyes just then being noticed by Severus and Hally.
"Oh No you don't old man, I will…"
"We'll take him!" Hally smiled excitedly then looked up at Severus in silence
"That is not fair giving me that look Raven…oh bloody hell alright! Alright Raven he can stay with us," Severus relented at last sighing in defeat looking back at Dumbledore.
"Very good Severus, the spare bed will remain in your quarters from this day forward seeing that they will spend the weekend with you, however Harry must still remain here during Christmas Holidays," Dumbledore announced with twinkling eyes
"No! I want Harry with us professor!" Hally cried out
"Now Hally, it is only for the Christmas holidays that is all," Dumbledore assured her
"But…" "Raven, We'll set a time to have a small holiday together before we leave, just the three of us," Severus promised
"No dad…" "It's alright Hally, besides it is better than being at the Dursley's anyway. This feels more like home to me than theirs," Harry spoke at last calming her down quickly
"Mmm…ok," Hally simply said with a pout hugging her brother
Dumbledore smiled at the scene, "I will be informing your relatives you two about Harry going to live with you and about their niece being alive and well…"
"ALBUS!" Severus boomed "Let me finish Severus, they will also know that Hally is adopted here. I assure you all that they will not disagree about this decision…one might however, but there will be nothing to be done about it," Dumbledore explained to the three before allowing them to leave.
8 A.M. GREAT HALL BREAKFAST
Severus, Harry, and Hally sat down at the teachers table for breakfast being a tad late from seeing Professor Dumbledore inside his office. Hagrid looked at the twins after they entered beaming at the two with pride, they both giggled giving him a huge hug at the same time.
"Go on with yeh's now," Hagrid chuckled watching them take their seat beside Severus
Slowly all four Houses began to enter the Great Hall to their tables chatting away not noticing at first. The Slytherins noticed the two at the teachers table grinning along with the Gryffindor house except for Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle. The Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs had just sat down when a student hollard out...
"Oy! Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff! Check it out at the professors table!" Everyone heard looking for the person that yelled.
The Ravenclaws sat there looking at Hally stunned for words, while the Hufflepuffs sat still; their mouths gapping open in shock, Harry and Hally looked at one another before grinning evilly turning their way.
Hally stood up before them all, "Hello, I'm Back!" She laughed evilly at the two houses
A/N: I love the sound of thuds in the morning mwahahaha! Get ready for the fainting Hufflepuffs everyone, and a one, two, three...
The Ravenclaws fell out of their seats in a shocking surprise while the Hufflepuffs fell back in a faint... "BOOM!"
The other two houses roared into laughter pointing at the Hufflepuffs, Severus taking the scene in contained a smirk and looked at Hally sternly.
"Raven, that is enough young lady now sit down," He ordered hearing her snigger along with Harry
'Twins, I had to get stuck with twins,' Severus thought watching the two before continuing to eat his breakfast.
Harry nudged Hally after seeing the Weasely twins try to duck their heads along with Ron,
"Fred! George! Not so fast boys you knew? And you kept it from us why?" Hally demanded her two best buds
They both looked up at them innocently, "Well you see..." Fred began to explain to them
"We wanted you both to find out on your own," George finished explaining "Ron, what about you!" Harry called out his demand seeing Ron squirm
"They made me stay quiet! It was their idea!" Ron yelped in fear hearing the Slytherins cackle at him including Draco.
"Who else knew about this! Well...Padma! Pavarti! You two?" Hally exclaimed in shock seeing the two Patel sisters stand up
"Yes we knew," The two answered at once hearing sniggering from their houses grinning
"Oh good lord...and here comes the firing squad," Severus muttered seeing Weasely's parents storm into the Great Hall, their mother looked very angry
"Uh-oh," Fred and George Weasely mumbled seeing their presence along with their only sister Ginny Weasely
"ALBUS! EXPLAIN YOURSELF!" they heard their mother bellow out being heard by everyone while she stepped over a fainted Hufflepuff after seeing the house out cold on the floor
"Now Molly, there were reasons why this was done..."
"IN THE CARE OF SEVERUS SNAPE?! FOR TEN YEARS?!" Molly hollard the demand
"NOW WAIT JUST A MINUTE! I RAISED RAVEN WITH NO PROBLEMS..."
"SHUT UP SEVERUS, I NEVER SAID YOU WAS NOT CAPABLE OF TAKING CARE OF..."
"Molly right beside him," Arthur intervened pointing at the twins seeing them with a look of shock on their faces
Molly looked at the twins sitting together beside Severus Snape, she started to smile with tears in her eyes...
A/N: For everyone who read the Harry Potter books, knows that Molly and Arthur Weasley were like second parents to Harry...well that was the concept that I recieved when I read them, and they will be to Hally here as well.
"Arthur look at her, she's beautiful," Molly smiled up at the Weasely children's father
"I can see that Molly, see looks like her mother except for her eyes," Arthur agreed smiling as well
Hally sat back listening to them along with Harry, their eyes wide from hearing them rant over her and Harry both.
"And he looks just like James, but he has his mother's eyes," Molly replied
Fred and George started sniggering, "Hey mum, we got plenty of room at home," Fred grinned
"Yeah, we could always put them on display," George teased
"Oh hush you two with your teasing," Molly smiled at the two before heading to the teachers table toward the twins
Severus stood up from his seat in a protective stance over the twins, "Now Severus, remain calm," Dumbledore replied seeing the potions master relax slightly
Molly came around the table taking the two in her arms hugging them tight, "A wonderful sight to see them both fine..."
"We can't breathe," the twins exclaimed between gasps hearing laughter from the professors and students
"Oh I am so sorry dears, Severus may we visit them both for the moment with our family of course?" Molly enquired seeing Severus nod his approval
Hally looked up at him in reluctance at first, "Raven, go on it's fine," Severus assured her seeing her walk with Harry and the Weasely's calming down.
Now while the commotion was taking place over the twins, a certain platinum blonde boy sat still watching the scene in deep thought, wondering what his father would say if he found out about the other twin being alive after all these years and in his own godfather's home among things. Draco hid an evil grin from his fellow house, secretly plotting a way to inform his father about the news.
'Best wait until the holidays first, I certainly don't want it to look suspicious on me for telling my father about her being alive,' Draco thought to hisself grabbing his goblet of pumpkin juice taking a drink sniggering to hisself on how he wanted it to be done and picturing the results inside his head.
OUTSIDE OF THE GREAT HALL
At first the twins felt uncomfortable around the Weasely's parents until Molly Weasely spoke to them both in a warm gentle voice.
"Oh let's take a look at you two dears...so much alike except your eyes, and hair," Molly smiled at them warmly
Hally looked at her, "What's wrong with my hair?" She asked suspiciously "Oh nothing dear, you have streaks with the same hair color of your mothers, it is a rare sight, but a love combination," Molly assured the girl seeing her grin at her.
"Ginny...where...ah, here you are. Well come on and meet them dear, this is Ginny, our only daughter," Arthur introduced them to the red haired girl
Hally looked at Ginny the same time as Harry grinning at her. Hally took a step forward
"Hello," Hally greeted politely "H-hello," Ginny stammered shyly
"Ginny dear, what is with you child. you wanted to meet them and here they are," Molly replied
"But mum..." "SPLASH!"
"GOT RED ORB AND POTTY BOY!" they heard seeing Peeves hovering above them cackling
"Peeves! That's my brother you got!" Hally cried out getting angry
"Hey! What about me?!" Ron yelled in shock hearing Fred, George, Percy and Ginny snigger
"He's my brother, your just his friend," Hally replied while Peeves floated down in front of her
"Peeves sorry my Raven...buck up Potty boy! Had to initiate you too!" Peeves cackled after apologizing to Hally
Harry grinned before sniggering drying hisself off quickly, "It's ok Peeves, I actually enjoyed that prank," Harry smiled
Hally calmed down grinning after making sure that Harry was fine, "Don't do it again Peeves," Hally grinned
"Peeves won't, Peeves promise," Peeves assured her ruffling her hair before flying away
"Now that's funny!" they heard seeing Ginny laugh at the prank
Harry and Hally both grinned at her, "You like Peeves?" Harry asked her, "Yeah, he's funny," Ginny answered with a giggle
"Would you like to meet Peeves?" Hally enquired the red haired girl
"Oh really? Could I?" Ginny asked smiling "Sure. Oh Peeves!" Hally called out, Peeves returned floating down in front her.
"What my Raven want from Peeves hmm?" Peeves asked Hally
"Peeves, this is Ginny Weasely, Fred, and Georges little sister," Hally grinned
"Hey!" Ron cried out while Percy covered his mouth grinning, Peeves swirled around looking at Ginny full of interest, flying around her.
"Hello Ginny cutie pie, will you be coming to Hogwarts next year?" Peeves asked the girl
Ginny giggled, "Yes," She answered grinning while Hally grinned crossing her arms watching
"Whoopee! Peeves makes sure not to get you, bye bye Ginny cutie pie," Peeves cackled ruffling Ginny's red hair before flying away once more.
"Hey! That's not fair! How come I get pranked on and she doesn't?!" Ron demanded
Hally rolled her eyes at him, "Because Ron, Peeves don't like you," Hally answered
"Oh...Hey!" Ron exclaimed hearing his family laugh at his reaction
"Oh calm down Ron, We were told how you have been acting toward Hally and Hermione Granger was it?" Molly enquired seeing her twins nod looking at Ron before stepping out of the way
"Mum..." "You know better than to treat others rudely and cruel Ronald Weasely! I can not put blame on Hally here nor Peeves for getting back at you, or Hally giving you quite a wallop of a punch...really Hally dear you punched him?" Molly asked seeing Hally sway looking up innocently grinning
"Oh, I see Lily's temper reborn here," Arthur chuckled "Arthur!" Molly exclaimed "Well I am right Molly she did give James a good right hook then too," Arthur pointed out in memory before looking down at Hally
"So How did you go by it? Did you give him the lefty or the righ..."
"ARTHUR!" Molly yelled seeing the twins giggle at their actions
"Really Hally dear, you must control that temper...Oh to heck with it! I must admit I did laugh after hearing about it," Molly giggled warmly
"Mum!" Ron exclaimed turning beet red in the face getting embarrassed
"Well Ronald perhaps you will watch what you say to them from here on out," Arthur stated sternly
"Yes sir," Ron mumbled being put in his place by his parents. The visit lasted for at least thirty minutes before they left to return home letting their son's and the twins go to finish their breakfast before they went their seperate ways on their plans for the day.
LUNCH TIME GREAT HALL
The twins sat down at the Slytherin table for lunch after their quick practice with their team mates, filling their plates up with their favorite food. Several Slytherins grinned at them while a couple looked at them stiffly. Hally looked at them as well as Harry,
"Oh look Harry, I think Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle don't like our little secret discovery," Hally sneered
"I see it," Harry told her giving the three glares in warning
"Well I agree with them, I knew that I didn't like you, now I know why, your a Potter," Pansy Parkinson spoke out getting glares from the other Slytherins
Hally sat back grinning evilly at the girl, "Now that's coming from someone who wears pink underwear and was put in my dad's house. Hey guess what Pinky? There is no love lost in you either," Hally sneered hearing the rest roar into laughter from her remark
"Pinky?! Oh my gods!" The Slytherins cackled along with Harry
Pansy looked at everyone laughing before looking back at Hally, "You evil witch..."
"Why thank you for the compliment Pinky, I'll be sure to inform...my dad," Hally smirked seeing her face go pale.
"You tell him anything and I'll..." "You'll what Pinky? Hex me? Oh Parkinson you don't want to try me, because I will get you before you blink," Hally warned the blonde girl seeing her gulp in fear
Harry rolled his eyes at her, "Leave her alone Hally, she's not worth it like Malfoy isn't to me," Harry told his sister seeing Draco glare at him menacingly
"You scar head looking..." "Flick!" "What was that again Malfoy?" Harry questioned glaring back at Draco while Hally sniggered from seeing Draco gulp in fear next
"I thought so Malfoy, You can dish it out, but you can't take it," Harry sneered putting his wand away, then turned away from him eating his lunch with Hally
'We'll see who can't take it Potters, we'll see', Draco thought fuming in anger turning away from them as well as Pansy Parkinson. Everything calmed down at once when the students began to recieve their mail from their owls.
Harry paid no attention as well as Hally knowing that they never get mail until Flint got their attention,
"Hey you two heads up!" Flint announced point upwards. The twins looked up seeing their owls carrying a parcel each dropping them over their heads. They caught them with a bit of help from Flint and Etre.
"We never get mail," Harry whispered to his twin sister confused
"I know Harry," Hally agreed finding a note on her parcel opening it up to read it
(Do not open them until you go to your house) She read recognizing the writing looking over at Severus as well as Harry. They seen him give them both a slight smirk secretly before containing hisself without being seen.
"Oh, Now I know who sent them, dad and McGonagall come on Harry," Hally whispered grinning with Harry as they both quickly took off out of the Great Hall with three others following behind them at a distance.
"Dad and McGonagall sent these to us, I know that look on dad's face anywhere..."
The two were suddenly blocked by Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle
"Well, what do we have here?" Draco asked in a sneer. Harry stood his ground facing him in anger
"None of your business Malfoy," Harry seethed glaring as well as Hally "My, Must be something important for that comment, let's see what you two got," Draco sneered snatching Hally's parcel tearing it open.
"Give it back to her Malfoy..." "A Nimbus two thousand?! You can't have those. It's against the school rules.
"What is going on here?" They heard a squeak seeing Flitwick behind them
"Professor sir, they have brooms, there against the rules to first years," Draco announced with a smirk to Hally and Harry
"Oh I was told about them, McGonagall and Miss Potter's father bought them for the games, well off you two go now," Flitwick told Harry and Hally giving Hally a grin and a wink.
Hally bent down giving Flitwick a kiss on his cheek grinning, "Woohoo, I'll tell your dad about you giving those away again no go on," Flitwick chuckled
"Yes sir...Oh by the way Malfoy thanks for helping us to get on the Gryffindor team," Hally announced sniggering taking off with Harry to the Gryffindor Tower.
