Potter #2
Dumbledore smiled sadly at his young friends dumfounded expression.
"A twin? … Albus how can it be I… mean why did you never tell me? Why did nobody know?" the bewildered teacher ran out of steam and settled back down, the old coot never failed to astonish him that much was sure, Snape regarded him suspiciously sure that there was more to come.
"Young Delilah Potter was seriously ill, it was thought that she would not live long, afraid that the celebration of her life would make it that much harder to bear when she died, Lily and James told only me and left the little mite in the care of some very capable medi-wizards, who were working at the muggle hospital at the time, when they had to go in to hiding, well… you know what happened next, the Potters were found and killed except for except for young Harry.
The girl survived the illness and thus her fate rested with me and when I erected the blood wards they relied on Lily's sacrifice and as young Delilah wasn't present at the time of the attack the protection wouldn't include her also if I had placed her with Harry at the muggles' she would have been too easy to locate thus putting Harry in danger as well, so I placed her with another muggle family. Doctors who were visiting from Ireland so they adopted her and took her to Ireland with them. Six years later there was an attack on their town, an independent religious war so to speak, they wiped out half the town particularly the Kearnaghans Street and when I went to visit I couldn't find Delilah's (who was earlier re-named Emmy) magical signature and their street was a charred ruins I assumed her dead. But now, Severus, and un-registered witch has been located in port rush where she lived you must come with me and help me identify her." The now thoroughly excited headmaster was stumbling over his words.
Severus Snape who sat silently through the remainder of the explanation got up and started pacing the length of Dumbledore's office trying to digest the mound of information that was beating through his skull, and then he stopped.
" Alright Albus I will help you but beware I expect my questions answered when we are done." Warned Severus.
" Right then lets go!." Cried Albus
The tall men left both feeling an excited anticipation that neither would ever admit to feeling.
The surge of emotion that went through Harry that evening woke him so completely that he knew it was no dream, checking his bedside clock he realised that it was only 7pm.
Why did I fall asleep so early?
Getting up off the unfamiliar mattress he caught a glance of himself in the full-length mirror opposite his bed and noticed he looked better that ever, he had colour in his cheeks and didn't look so tired, reaching for his glasses he then crossed the room to look out at the deserted streets of Diagon alley and recalled the events of last week.
Flashback
"I told you boy" growled Vernon Dursley as he dragged Harry from the kitchen " No more of your freakiness or you're out so leave, and you had better hope Marge's hair grows back or I will hunt you down and skin you alive do you hear"
End flashback
Harry snickered at the recollection aunt Marge deserved everything she got, nobody calls his mother a slut.
Being kicked out was probably the best thing to happen to Harry this summer he was back home
The Wizarding World.
