"What ifs are a big part of our lives, but this what if, has to be the biggest one in this universe.

What if Petunia was a witch?"

Last Chapter was technically a prologue; this is the beginning of the story.

~*Chapter 1: It's all Real Then?*~

Rose Evans continued staring outside the windows as both her daughters ran down the hill, not a care in the world, leaving the young boy who looked sort of familiar behind.
She already knew what they were capable off, she already saw it all, and seeing it with her daughters seems like some sort of a weird nostalgia. But finding out that another wizard lived not far away from them, scared Rosalind Evans for the first time in the 13 long years she's spent away from the wizarding world.

She continued watching them as they laughed and easily jumped and landed gracefully, the magic in their veins showing as they glided in the air and landed on their feet easily without falling off. It scared Rosalind Evans that someone else close by is going to tell her daughters all about the one thing she ran away from.

Sighing she moved away from the window and walked down the stairs calmly, trying to get over her feelings that are more likely shown on her face. She heard the front door open and close and their chatter filled the room. She stopped for a moment to regain her composure and moved down, hoping and praying that she wasn't too obvious.

"There you are, where have you been all day?"

Blake Evans looked at her with a questioning look in his bright green eyes that resembled her daughter's greatly. Rose sighed inwardly and plastered a smile too wide to look less fake and shook her head at her husband.

"I was just taking a small nap dear; I woke up only a few minutes ago."

Rose yawned to emphasize her point and Blake Evans nodded his head and put his arm around her. Rose thanked god that for once, her husband wasn't able to call her out for lying.

Her eyes landed on her two daughters. Petunia's perfect posture wasn't any different; it was just the small glint in her eyes that were far too noticeable in Rose's eyes that looked kind of different. Her oldest daughter by five minutes rarely had anything that spiked her interest; she was way too mature to be excited about the things in your everyday life. But the twinkle in her eyes suggested that, for once, Petunia was actually really intrigued by something. Her eyes slowly left Petunia's Blue-Grey orbs to settle down on the younger twin. Lily's green eyes that were completely different than her sister were as shiny as the dew drops on a leaf in the early morning. They held too much excitement and hope. There was also a spark of mischievousness that Rose rarely saw in her daughter's eyes unless she played a prank…or kept an exciting secret.

Rose sighed inwardly again, wondering just how much that boy told her two daughters.

"Tuney!" Lily whisper yelled at her sister who was too busy reading a book.

"TUNEY!" Lily raised her voice just a little and Petunia looked up annoyed.

"What?"

Lily sighed exasperated and looked at her sister in an annoyed sort of way.

"What are you too busy reading right now? It's in the middle of the night?"

Petunia sighed impatiently, "Is that really the reason why you've been calling my name for the last fifteen minutes?"

Lily just shot her a look and Petunia mock glared at her. "Well you're annoying… And anyway, this is the science book that we're going to take next year. And if it's midnight, you might as well call it quits and just sleep already and stop annoying me!"

Lily's mouth opened in shock, she slowly mouthed science book and next year and she sprang into action, flinging her comforter off her and running to her sister's bed and clutching the book away from her sister's grasp.

"Lily! What is wrong with you?" Petunia tried to reach over and grab the book but Lily, the taller one among the two of them, held it out of reach.

"Don't you know it's a crime to read a school book in the summer? And besides, didn't you hear what Severus said? We might not even be here next year to take this stupid science book; we're going to be in Hogwarts!"

Petunia rolled her eyes and sighed in annoyance. "Lily, we don't even know for sure if that is going to happen, for all I know that boy might just be playing a prank on us, and besides even if it's true we're going to Hogwarts the year after next, he did say that we received our letters when we turn 11, now can I please have my book back?"

Lily huffed but refused to give her the book. Petunia let out a breath in annoyance to her sister's antics and sat down at the edge of the bed next to her.

"What's making you think so hard?"

Lily sighed and placed the book on the desk; Petunia eyed it but focused on her sister instead.

"It's just, I have this weird feeling that he's telling the truth, I mean how many people have we seen that could do this flower trick like us, and why would he lie? I mean what have we ever done to him?"

Petunia sighed and hugged her sister's shoulders. "Not everyone has a reason to do something bad to others Lily. You never know why evil people do what they do. I know that what he said is just too good to be true and that you want to believe it. And Trust me, I want to believe it too, but I'm not going to let the whole thing come into my head until I get some proof from him. Now can we please turn of the lights and go to sleep, I'm actually tired and I've given up on reading that book today." Petunia smirked at her sister and Lily rolled her eyes and nodded.

Swiftly, Lily ran and shut the lights right and then ran back and climbed into her sister's bed.

"Um…Lils? What are you doing?"

"Sleeping…" Lily replied as if it's the most obvious thing in the world.

Petunia rolled her eyes at her sister and shook her head, "Yes, but why are you sleeping…here?"

"Cause I want to… Goodnight Tuney…"

Petunia sighed but smiled and snuggled into bed with her sister, "Goodnight Lilly-flower…"

"Don't call me that…" Lily said, muffled by the pillow, her voice already sounding sleepy.

Petunia smiled and closed her eyes.

"…So there's a government called the ministry about magic...and they control the wizarding world and all the creatures like the fairies and um…magical talking horses?"

Severus laughed, his eyes appearing brighter for a second before replying to the confused girl. "Ministry 'OF' Magic and yes they control everything in the wizarding world…and by talking horses, do you mean centaurs?"

Lily just rolled her eyes and stuck her tongue out, "I have no idea what those Centaurs are, and they will forever be talking horses to me."

Severus laughed again and scooted next to her, "Well as long as you don't call them that to their face all will be good."

Lily smiled and rolled her eyes. "So what happens after we receive our letters?"

She said, lying on the ground and facing the sky, Severus mirrored her move and scooted next to her. "Well, since you're muggleborn, some teacher is going to be accompanying the delivery of the letters to explain the whole thing to you parents, She will then take you to Diagon Alley to get your school stuff, School starts at September first, from platform 9 and ¾…"

Lily's eyes left the sky and looked back meeting his weirdly, "9 and ¾? What's that? Is it a riddle that we're supposed to solve or something?"

Severus laughed again and Lily shot him a glare that only made him laugh harder. "No, it's actually a platform that lays between platform 9 and 10…"

Lily shot him another look of confusion and Severus just smiled. "How about we cross that bridge when we come to it, it will sound so confusing to you until you actually experience it."

Lily rolled her eyes and nodded. "So…where is this Diagon Alley, is it a street name or something?"

Severus shook his head and looked at her. "It's actually a secret passageway. It's in London. You see, you can only enter it when you enter a pub called the Leaky Cauldron"

"Oh…well that's kind off confusing…"

Severus smiled and shook his head. "It really isn't, it's all very simple. I mean, I haven't been there much but the two times I went there with mother everything was fairly easy actually."

Lily shrugged and smiled. "You're so lucky you have wizard parents, I mean, you know all about this stuff and it's like Petunia and I are left to fend off for ourselves, the whole thing is all too confusing to us."

Severus didn't say anything; he continued to stare at the sky with a blank expression on his face.

"Severus?" Lily said, straightening herself and looking at him.

"Mhmm?"

"Promise me you'll always be at my side, me and Petunia, at least until we're able to figure this whole thing out."

Severus looked up and met her green eyes and he smiled softly, "Promise"

"Shake on it?" She smiled and held out her hand, he chuckled and shook it warmly.

"Promise…"

"Lily!"

Petunia shouted frantically, looking around her.

"Oh no, I forgot to tell them that I'm staying off late!" Lily scrambled to stand up and ran towards her sister's voice.

"I'm here! Tuney, don't worry!"

Petunia let out a sigh of relief, her hand tightly clutching her chest as she saw her sister coming into view.

"Thank god, Lily, didn't I tell you before not to go off like that? I mean, who knows what's out there, you could've just talked to me and waited for me until I came along, running off alone like that…"

"Don't worry Tuney I wasn't alone, Severus was with me…"

Petunia looked confused for a moment, "Severus?"

Lily nodded her head and gestured to the boy who was right behind her watching the scene unfold.

"Oh, it's you, well why didn't you tell me, I would've joined you, you know."

Lily shrugged, "I didn't know he was there, I was playing on the swings when I saw him walking around the playground on his own, so I called him over." She looked back at him and smiled; he smiled softly back and looked at the ground.

Petunia looked at him narrowing her eyes a bit, but shrugged it off, "Well come on then, the lunch bell already rang a few minutes ago."

She clutched her sister's hands ready to take her down the hill to their house when a voice stopped them.

"Wait, um, Petunia?"

Petunia looked back at the boy who clutching a knapsack to his chest. She looked at him confused and with a questioning look in her eyes.

"What?"

"I bought you something. You said that you needed proof and well, I got something for you…"

He sat on the ground and pulled several books out of the bag. Petunia approached him curiously and knelt beside him on the ground.

After taking out the five books and another object from the bag, he held them on the ground for her.

"This" he pointed at the large green leather bound book that looked more or less like a normal photo album "was my mother's photo album from her times at Hogwarts..."

Petunia looked at it questioningly then looked at Severus. "What's special about a photo Album? Is it going to change into some kind of animal or something?"

Severus shook his head, smiling a bit, and then pushed the album into her hands. "Go on, open it and look at the pictures."

Petunia gingerly opened the dusty book and glanced at the pictures only to widen her eyes in shock. To her astonishment, the pictures were moving!

"Wow…This is incredible!" Lily's eyes were big and focused on the pictures as they moved on about, she leaned forward ready to touch one of them, when Petunia snapped from her reverie and clutched her sister's hands"

Severus laughed at the panicky looking girl. "It's not going to eat you, go on touch it; it's like a regular photo I swear…"

Lily needed no reassurances and touched the photos lightly, smiling as she flipped throughout the album. Severus glanced at Petunia who still looked mesmerized and finally reached over and touched the photos herself.

"Amazing…"

Severus smiled happily that he was able to convince her. "Wait there's more."

Petunia looked at him and he gestured to another leather bound book, this time, it appeared thicker and older. "This is one of my mother's schoolbooks. I didn't manage to find some of her early ones, but this one is actually kind of historical or something. It's called Hogwarts, a History"

Petunia didn't waste time, she reached over and took the book, smiling she flipped over the cover and examined the pages. Her eyes brightened as she flipped the pages trying to absorb as many words as possible.

Severus smiled at Petunia's excitement while she held the book carefully.

"Look at this one" Petunia snapped her eyes away from the book, and looked at Severus who gestured at another book, this one, appeared newer than the rest, it was hard cover and had illustrated designs on it, and a tree stump was drawn in the middle with a gold color. Petunia smiled and reached over and opened it.

"This is a children's fairytale collection, well, wizard version of fairytale collections. All children in the wizarding world know these stories. This was my version; my mum bought it when I was a child."

Petunia stared at it and flipped throughout the pages until she reached a page which was ripped into half.

"Who did this to your book?"

Severus glanced at it and his expression darkened. "Oh, that was my father".

He looked away and reached over to get another book. Petunia looked at him curiously, wondering how life is exactly under the Snape roof. Severus' unhealthy looking state of clothes, his skinny form and the tear in the book didn't give her much to look forward to seeing.

"Um, this one is a really old one; it contains the names of all wizarding pure-blood families."

Petunia looked up confused. "Pure-blood? What does that mean?"

Severus looked at her and shrugged. "It's a name the falls on people who have a pure wizarding heritage. The family names in this book are pure wizards and witches' families, they were all magical."

Petunia made an 'Oh' sound and turned to look at the book in question. It definitely looked old, it was dustier than all the rest, but it still appeared quiet grand to Petunia. It was black and had leather bound, a golden illustration of a tree was in the middle of the cover. Upon opening the cover, she found what's she's looking for, the name of the book.

"…Nature's Nobility A Wizarding Genealogy…"

"This is the last book I have, it's a spell book, it won't be of much use, most of these spells are really advanced, and even our accidental magic isn't that strong."

He picked it up and gave it to Petunia who took it and flipped through the pages.

"What's that?"

Lily finally joined them, having finished looking at all the photos in the photo album. She was pointing at the last thing that Severus took out of the bag.

"Oh this" He reached over a grabbed the small ball, which suddenly turned red, making Severus frown.

"Wicked…How did you do that?"

Lily said excitedly eying the ball in his hands. Severus smiled and threw it to her, in turn, it became clear again. Lily looked really disappointed which made Severus laugh lightly.

"It's called a Rememberall, it's kind of thing used to alert someone when he forgot something. You see when it turns red, it means you forgot something, but when it turns clear it means you remembered or in your case, you haven't forgotten anything at all."

"Wow…Tuney look at it!"

Petunia looked up and caught the ball as Lily threw it to her. The ball suddenly turned red causing Petunia to shriek and drop it. Severus and Lily burst into laughter and Petunia narrowed her eyes scowled at them.

"What in the world is that?"

It's called a Rememberall Tuney; it alerts someone when he's forgotten something. If you haven't been focused much on that book in your hands you would've heard us talking about it."

Petunia gingerly held it in her hands again and the smoke inside turned red once again, Petunia looked at bewilderingly. "Does that mean I've forgotten something? That's weird I never forget any- Oh god, Lunch! I forgot all about it!"

The Rememberall turned clear once again as Petunia threw it to Severus. "We have to go Lily! We're too late!"

Lily shook her head and sighed. "Thanks Severus, for everything."

Severus shrugged and smiled. Lily leaned over and hugged him causing Severus' face to turn two shades of pink. Petunia glanced at Severus and smiled a wide smile at him and went over to him and after consideration, she held out her hand. Severus smiled at her and shook her hand evenly.

"Hey Severus, Can I borrow some of these books, I really want to read about all of that…"

Severus smiled and nodded his head. Petunia glanced at the books on the ground and took Hogwarts, A history, the book of spells, and after a little consideration, she reached over and took the Wizarding genealogy book.

"Thanks again Severus, for everything!" Petunia called out and waved her hands. Severus smiled and waved at her back."

"Yeah, thanks a lot. Sev, we owe you!"

Lily said and Severus' smile widened and waved at her back. He kept staring at them until they reached the bottom of the hill, he then lifted the knapsack, placed the remaining books and Rememberall inside, and set off in the other direction, the smile on his face never fading as he remembered his green-eyed beautiful best friend.

Please review and tell me if I should actually continue and if it's actually worth it or not!
