What would you do if you lived in hell; lived a life full of misery and sorrow and abuse. People die because of you and you can't stop it. They tell you that you are a child, but when they want you to fight then you are no longer the innocent child that they just said you were. What if you only had one person in the world that loved you and gave a dragons ass about you. Would you love them with everything you had? What if the people that say you are a child, but when they need you, you are now an adult just like them, wanted you to kill the only person that you loved. The first person that you loved.

What would you do? Because I have no clue.

I am Harriet Severus Snape-Evans. Formally known as Bitch, or girl, or any other rotten name they could come up with.

"Harri Severus Snape-Evans!" I heard a rough voice say on the other side of the door to my bed room. I groaned and rolled over, snuggling deep into my covers, pulled the pillow over my head and fell back to sleep. It didn't last long because I was soon attacked.

Oof. A dead weight landed on me. I cried out in pain when an elbow slammed into my side. I growled and kicked and fought, but I was soon pinned to the bed.

"Stop! Let me GO!" I screamed looking up at the evil face in fear.

"You didn't wake up when I told you, so you are going to pay the price." "Its time for you to get up Harri." the voice said evenly. I looked at the face fearfully for a few moments before I relaxed once I saw the playfulness in his eyes, but never really letting my guard down. It was just Draco, not one of the Death Eaters...

"Git." I growled out and tried to push him off with my hips. " Draco get off of me you bastard!" I yelled and Draco smiled and laid down next to me. I sighed and turned away from him hissing in pain. He was sitting up and pulled up my shirt just enough to see the dark bruise forming where the elbow had rammed into me. I hissed in pain and moved away from him on the bed. I sat up and walked to the other side of the room as quickly as possible.

"Harri. You know that I didn't mean to hurt you right?" Draco asked concernedly but I didn't hear him. I backed up into the wall and slid down it. My black hair spread around me. I was gasping for breath and I had to wrap my arms around my stomach to keep from puking.

I never noticed Draco leaving. I wasn't where I was suppose to be. I tried to take deeper breaths, but I couldn't get enough air.

/~*~\

"Dad! Uncle Sev! It's Harri!" I said quickly running into the kitchen where they had yet to start eating. They had sent me to fetch Harri because she was still sleeping and they never started to eat until every member of the family, or guests were awake and at the table as well.

"She wouldn't wake up so I jumped on the bed! I guess I elbowed her and she- she called me a git and growled at me to get off. I got off and lied down by her, but she turned away and- and I lifted up her shirt a little to see the bruise. I didn't think that I landed on her that hard!" I spoke rapidly, but they were out of the kitchen when I said 'Harri' with me following closely behind telling them what had happened.

"Harri, look at me. Harri please." I frowned when I heard the desperation in Uncle Sev's voice.

"Dad-"

"Hush." Father whispered to me and frowned in worry. He walked over and placed a hand on Uncle Sev's shoulder; he barely noticed it.

"Harri, please. Come back to me." Sev said and reached out to touch Harri's cheek, but right before he did he pulled his hand away as if he was burned.

"No!" I heard Harri scream, her eyes wide. I flinched at the ear shattering scream filled the room, like she was getting tortured. Maybe she was, where ever she was, because she was obviously not here in her bed room.

My back hit the wall and I slid down it watching in horror as the scene played out before me. I was gasping for breath and my chest felt like it was going to collapse in on me. I vaguely felt arms drag me out and I couldn't stop looking until the door was shut. I fell to my knees looking at the door breathing heavily.

"Dad." I choked out tears spilling out of my eyes without me being able to stop them. " What- What happened to-" I couldn't bring myself to say the whole thing.

"Raped, tortured, beat. Anything that you mind might be able to imagine and more, son. What you saw was the result of that. We were waiting to tell you, so you would know what to expect..."

"Oh god... she looked at me with such fear... but I didn't get off of her when she asked... I am so horrible." I whispered, my voice cracking with emotions that I hadn't felt in a long time. Even though she arrived only last night with Uncle Sev, I felt like a very protective brother, that had known and lived with her for all of her life. I left like I knew her, wanted- needed to protect her. I didn't know how or why I felt like that, I just knew that I did. I know that I am going to protect her with everything that I have, but oh my god... she will never see me or get to know me as Draco now. She will always think that I deliberately tried to hurt her.

"You didn't know Draco. You can't blame yourself. The blame is on Severus and me for not telling you last night." Father said warily rubbing at his face. He looked older then he usually did and that worried me a little.

After about ten minutes Severus came out of the room, but blocked me from seeing anything in the room. "She is asleep. Should be out until noon with the dose of Calming Draught and Dreamless Sleep I gave her. Come, we have much to talk about little snake." Uncle Sev said. I nodded and walked with both my father and Uncle Sev into the one of many offices of Snape-Evans Manor. No one but me and Father knew it existed, well, other than Severus and now Harri.

"You Father told you all he could about Harri with just a few words. Me, being her father, can reveal anything I wish you to know, unlike Lucius here. Harri was indeed raped, tortured, and beaten. I didn't even know I had a daughter until about two months ago when I was sent down to torture her as a... reward." Uncle Sev shuttered and I frowned. Wonder what he did to ear such a... honoring reward. I sneered. "Turns out she has been down in those dungeons since she was two years old. We had never kept a prisoner for that long, so I demanded the person in charge of her to tell me everything she knew.

"She told me, ' She is a wicked one that one. She just refuses to die you know. Strong willed that one. Our Lord found her interesting and ordered that we couldn't kill her no matter what happened. No matter what happened she was to live. Took a liking to her he did. Comes down here every night to talk to her, but she never talks. Not anymore. Not for 'bout six years.' There were only three people that didn't harm her. The Dark Lord, myself, and you Father. Us two having no idea she was even there until two months ago. Turns out that the Dark Lord never ordered her to be tortured or beaten or raped.

"He loved the little girl and every time he offered to let her out, she would start sobbing and go into hysterics. He eventually learned not to asked and figured that she liked it best down there. She was moved into the nicest cell, that couldn't really even be called a cell, but the others soon found her. The Death Eater, by the name that even I don't know. Everyone just calls him Fox, gave the order, to... harm her so severally, saying it was the wish of the Dark Lord. Now you can imagine what the Dark Lord did after he found out from me and your Father what they were doing with her. He lost 46 Death Eaters that night, 2 of which were in the inner circle. He didn't even blink. He knew he had many hundreds of followers, most of which come to him to confirm an order. He would rather have them confirm something that he said then to act of the words of others."

"Draco, we know you are only ten, but you are very wise beyond your years, always have been. So we know that you can handle this information. We know you will take it and hold it close to your advantage, a skill that all Slytherins have, but even more so because you are a Death Eaters son. Now, you are welcome to come and eat breakfast with us, but I understand if you do not wish it now because of the information we have shared. You are more then welcome to go to you room, fly, or work on your homework. Just let us know what you are doing." His father said after Severus stopped talking. They both knew they shouldn't have told a ten year old everything that was said, but Draco had never acted his age. People always thought he was at least 3 years older then he looked and actually was because of the way he acted and thought.

"I wish to go and fly. I need to process... everything." He answered and stood.

"Don't go outside the wards." His father warned and stood as well as did Severus. They walked into the kitchen and both sighed looking at each other.

"Think we did the right thing in telling him so much?"

"Of course. He is no child, even though he looks it. Never has been. Everything will be fine and he will know what to do." Severus asked and sat down to eat his breakfast.

/^~*~^\

I frowned and sat up in bed rubbing my head. It felt like it was going to fall off. That or explode. I have had worse though, so I stood up and stretched flinching slightly in pain. I pulled up my shirt to reveal my stomach and gasped when I saw the purplish nasty bruise on my side. I couldn't remember how I gotten it and it scared me. Surly Severus, nor Lucius would never hit me right? Right?

I forcibly stopped the tears that were coming into my eyes and got dressed for the day. I picked out a nice cotton blue Muggle shirt that said 'Wish Magic was real, don't you?' in white bold letters on the chest. I then got out a black pair of skinny jeans and slipped them on with ease. They were the only type of pants that would fit me correctly. Tom may not have known it, but I almost never got food. I am glad that they all got what they deserved. They shouldn't have been so foolish and said their names in front of me.

Severus knew right away what was happening. I don't know how he saw through the illusions that were placed on me, but he did and he rescued me, along with Mr. Malfoy. I was Harriet Potter, because that's who I thought I was. Turns out that Severus Snape is my father, after he got all of the illusions off of me he ordered for a blood test, and was very happy with the results. I guess I was to in a way.

You see, I always hated James Potter for what he did to me. Tom told me all about my mother and she seemed like a wonderful person, but after he learned that Potter was beating on my mother and me, he grew angry. The night that he came, he found my mother dead, tortured and killed with tears still running out of her eyes and into my bloody black hair. He slowly killed my father, kept him for five years and then killed him off when he was to weak to life through the torture any longer. I didn't feel one bit sorry for him.

The only thing I remember of my mother, was her saying a last name. Snape. " I wish Snape was here." I remember she whispered in my ear before she died holding me. I lived, because of that name. I fought for that name. Hoping that one day I would met the person that owned it. The person had obviously meant a great deal to her if she whispered that on her final breath of life, right after she told me she loved me. I heard her voice in my head, then she muttered that one sentence, and died.

I looked into the mirror and sighed. I brushed out my waist long and and then braided it into a tight braid down my back. I nodded at myself, knowing that I would be presentable and walked out of my temporary room, because I didn't know how long I would be staying here.

"Harriet." I heard a voice from behind me. I stiffened and turned seeing a smaller version of Mr. Malfoy. I nodded ever so slightly as I remembered Mr. Malfoy saying that he had a son the same age as me.

"Draco." I gasped slightly and moved away from him automatically. I remembered meeting him last night before I passed out in need of sleep from traveling the Muggle way through the woods. I remembered my meeting with him and I flinched when he offered his hand for me to shake it. I shook it and retired to bed. I remembered this morning when he was on top of me. I remembered the pain he caused and then I was back in the cell that I couldn't leave without the wards being taken down by the wand that created them. Where I was tortured.

I backed away more and turned around and ran. I ran down the unfamiliar hallways until someone caught me. I struggled tears running down my face. My chest hurt. The arms were hugging me tightly, forcing me to stay where I was.

"Stop struggling child. It's only me." Severus whispered in my ear. I relaxed and stopped my tears. Very slowly he turned me around to face him. " Draco needs to explain some things to you child. He is very sorry for what he did. He didn't know what you had been through. He does now and he is extremely sorry for it. This is Malfoy's son, do you remember Lucius talking about him." I nodded and wiped my tears. I only cried in front of Severus. I guess my body knew it was him before my mind did.

"Lets get some lunch in you. By your performance, you remember this morning." He said. It was a statement, but I knew I should answer.

"Yes, Sir." I whispered. He lead me into the den that I had been in last night.

"Come. Sit down while Lucius gets us all some lunch." Severus said. I nodded and sat down stiffly and looked across from me. A figure I didn't notice was in the room until he got into my line of vision came and sat down in the couch in front of me. It was Draco.

"Harri, I am so sorry for acting the way that I did. I didn't know what happened to you. And I should have taken into consideration that you didn't even know me. Its just that, before I even met you, I knew I was going to treat you like the little sister I was never given. I felt like I knew you because of everything that Father had told me about you. I should have noticed how scared you were and gotten off of you. I shouldn't have even entered your room and I am so very sorry for-"

"Enough. You only need to say sorry. I didn't want an explaination-"

"Harri, that was very rude. If a Wizard, or any living being wants you explain their actions then you must let them do it. Most don't explain willingly. I know you are not use to people apologizing to you, but Draco is truly sorry for what he did to you. Me and Mr. Malfoy are sorry that we didn't tell Draco last night. This whole thing could have been avoided." Severus said and I frowned but nodded anyway. I didn't realize that I was being rude. Tom taught me better then that. I bowed my head slightly and frowned.

"I am sorry that I disappointed you. You may continue on your explanation Young ." I whispered.

"Please, call me Draco. And I just wanted to say again for the fear that I caused you." He said and I nodded knowing that he was done.

"Thank you and I, am sorry for my reaction. Just know that Severus and Mr. Malfoy wouldn't have told you if I didn't give them permission first."

"Oh, trust me I know. My Father, he didn't even tell me what time my friends birthday party was before asking him himself if he could tell me. Trust me. He is like that with the stupidest things I swear."

"Well, Draco, as you know there are things that people not wish to be revealed. I remembered a time where I didn't want someone to know when my birthday party was because I did not wish them to know or be there, but my father told them any way and he showed up. He did not get along with Severus and for that I hated the boy." Mr. Malfoy said bring in a platter full of sandwiches. There had to be about 30 of them on the platter. Many more than any of us could eat.

"Well lets eat. I for one am very famished." Severus said smiling softly. They all waited for me to take the first one and I looked down blushing and grabbing the first one that I could. They all got their own then and started to eat. I couldn't even eat half of it with out feeling nauseous.
