So this is my first time ever trying my hand at a Harry Potter story. I own nothing, except the idea. Enjoy!
Two men stood in a large, circular office. Many strange objects were within in the room and both men in strange clothes to a normal on looker. For one wore purple robes and had a long, white beard and long, white hair with half moon glasses perched on his face. The other wore all black and had greasy, stringy black hair that almost brushed his shoulders. These two were known as Albus Dumbledore and Severus Snape, both who were wizards.
"You said you would keep her safe." Severus said, tears falling from his dark eyes.
"Lily and James…put their faith in the wrong person, Severus. Rather like you. The boy survives." Albus replied.
"He doesn't need protection, the Dark Lord has gone."
"The Dark Lord will return. And when he does, the boy will be in terrible danger! He has her eyes. If you truly loved her…"
"No one, can know."
Severus sighed and wiped at his face.
"Severus, I must ask you for a favor." Dumbledore said.
"What now?"
Dumbledore suddenly had a bassinet in front of him and he motioned for Snape to come closer. Snape eyed the bassinet, but came closer.
"I must ask you to look over this child."
Severus peered into the bassinet and found a little baby girl fast asleep. A bloodied cloth was over the left side of her neck.
"I thought…" Snape trailed at a loss of words.
"The boy has a twin. Both babies were in the room and Lily went to protect them. The boy was left wailing while the girl laid still and motionless from her wound. We thought she had gone, but we arrived just in time. He believes her to be dead. She must remain dead and never be known. The baby Potter girl must remain to have perished on this night with her parents. She must be forgotten. She must never be known. This is the only way. The only way to keep her safe from any harm. She has to be a ghost."
"What do you mean?"
"She will be known as Katrina Hope Snape. Hope Katrina Potter died the same night of her parents."
"I know nothing of caring for a child, Albus!" Severus yelled.
Dumbledore had clearly lost his marbles this time. Entrusting him with a child?! She would live a lie, but it would keep the babe safe. It would keep one of Lily's children safe. Allow one to grow up in the world Lily had fallen in love with.
"You'll be fine, Severus. You'll have help."
"What if people question about her?"
"Her mother passed away and you are the only family she has left."
Severus peered once more at the baby who laid asleep. Pale skin, red tuffs of hair. His heart ached at the thought of this child looking exactly like Lily, but maybe this child…Maybe Katrina would be able to help him heal from the loss of her.
Let me know what you think of it! Please R&R!
