A/N: I DO NOT own the Harry Potter series. That honour belongs to J.K. Rowling. I only own the plot and original characters. Some of the characters will be OOC (Nice Dursleys [Wizard (and not Obese) Dudley]), Free Sirius, non-Supremacist Malfoys, Lestranges, and most of the death-eater families, Good Voldemort).

June 23 – Dudley's 13th birthday

Harry woke up earlier than anyone else and snuck downstairs to the cupboard. Wearing his Linkin Park t-shirt and sleep bottoms, he checked to see if his birthday present for Dudley had finished drying yet. It was a painting of a dragon soaring in the skies; he remembered they loved dragons as kids and wanted to make something that connected him to his childhood.

"Still a little damp," he whispered barely touching the edge of the acrylic paper.

"I'd give it a few more hours, son."

Gasping in shock, he turned to see his Uncle Vernon, donned in his robe with pyjamas and slippers, smiling. His stocky build could be intimidating to others, but Harry knew that he wouldn't hurt a fly unless his family was hurt. "I'm guessing this is your present for Dudley."

"Yes, Unc!" Harry laughed. "He told me he still loved dragons, so I thought this would be a good gift."

"True," he said, looking at the painting with his hand on his chin. "but dragons, and knowing they do exist, still freaks me out. It's really good though, Harry."

"Thanks. Is Sirius coming for Dudley's birthday?"

"More than likely," he muttered, leading him out of the converted art room. "Of course, if he keeps pressing you two to go to Hogwarts again, I'm kicking him out."

"Yeah, Dudley told me he's been asking about Hogwarts," the emerald eyes sighed. "and where I've been for the past eight years. I don't know what to tell him."

Vernon brought Harry to the living room and sat him on the couch, "Harry, listen to me," his eyes softening to the twelve-year-old. "You were sent away to train and hone your magic. Dahlia told us you had too much power to be trained by Sirius, and Dudley's been going to a Magic school since he was six to learn the same. You can go there if you're not ready for Hogwarts, and you'd come home every day. Also, you can also practise at home since you won't be traced."

"Yeah, Dudley told me he's already learned Wordless and Wandless magic, and I've taught him some old magic this past week. Aunt Dahlia told us we were too far advanced to be traced. Also, I warded the house just in case Hogwarts plays into it so we can still practise magic without them saying we broke the rules."

Rising from the couch, Vernon went into the kitchen and made some coffee, "Your mother told us that some wizards and witches have those ward things to teach their kids before they start that school, while officials look the other way on some families because they're pure-blood."

"Yeah, we learned that from Dahlia," Harry replied as he walked into the kitchen and grabbed a mixing bowl from the cabinet. "The underage law is mostly designed to hinder new bloods or muggle-raised children in order to make purebloods feel superior about themselves."

"Yeah, I get that, but you and Dudley have the best of both worlds, my boy! Before Dahlia took you, Sirius taught you some spells while we helped you hone it. Love, support, positive discipline, good food, some fun, and exercise helped you develop faster and got you into shape."

"I still exercise, Unc! Heck, we did hand-to-hand combat training along with learning magic with Aunt Dahlia."

"And how to cook, I may add," added a voice behind them.

Both men jumped to see Petunia donning a bathrobe and nightgown with her hair down and eyes squinting from just waking up.

"Hi, Aunt Tuney," Harry said as she walked towards him, kissing him on the cheek.

"Good morning, Harry. You know Dudley's a fan of your pancakes."

"Why do you think I'm making them? Chocolate chip pancakes with egg and bacon."

Petunia laughed upon hearing that. "Harry, you worry about the pancakes. I'll deal with the rest. I'm just glad that I taught you to use a modern stove. I don't know what that woman was thinking depriving you of that technology for eight years."

Harry stirred the pancake mix while Petunia prepped the pan for him to use. Harry had spent time away from his family since he was four years old, not only learning magic and martial skills, but also to live on his own and do for himself. As he was cooking the pancakes, he was happy to be home despite being away for so long. He missed his family for years and the only contact he was allowed over the years was writing letters and sending and receiving gifts.

He completed his training a few months ago and has now been back for almost two weeks. Of course, they were elated he was home, but were shocked at his long hair and muscular appearance. His black hair was in a mohawk with the sides braided like a Viking; furthermore, when loose, it fell right past his hips. While he agreed to cut it and hopefully donate it, Petunia thought it a good idea for him to keep it until Sirius comes and have a chance to gloat that his godson had longer hair than he did. They took a picture of the Viking hairdo just in case they had to cut it off sooner than expected.

Of course, the clothes he was wearing were also of the same culture of his hair, so Dudley had to loan him an outfit until they went shopping the next day. Since Dudley was a little bigger, he had to magically shrink the clothes so they would fit his cousin. Vernon assured that Harry had plenty of exercise to keep his well-toned physique.

When breakfast was almost ready, Vernon woke up Dudley, who was ecstatic about the pancakes, and the family sat at the table to enjoy the meal.

Harry and Dudley spent the morning in the neighbourhood running to work off the breakfast and sparring in the backyard. Dudley had been taking Karate since he was six, so he was able to nearly give his cousin a run for his money. After recovering, they took a shower and dressed for Dudley's party.

Dudley, dressed in a white blouse. blue jumper and beige slacks, turned to Harry, "So, are your friends from the training coming?"

"They phoned me last night and said yes," he laughed, putting on his blue jeans and green Polo shirt. "You'll like them."

"I couldn't imagine training with three other girls. It'd have been awkward, especially living in the same house with them."

Harry then parted his hair and pulled it back in a ponytail. "Well, when we were seven, we had to build our own hovels and live separately for privacy. Luckily, we learned to cook and take care of a house and ourselves before we moved into our dwellings."

"So, does that mean you meant to grow out your hair?"

"Not really," the raven-haired laughed, sitting on Dudley's bed. "When it started growing out, I didn't see the point in cutting it since it'd grow back."

Hearing this made Dudley laugh, because he'd never had his hair grow past his shoulders before his mum cut it. Petunia wouldn't let Dudley have long hair because it made him look like a headbanger from those rock videos. While she loved the long hair on those rockers, she thought her son and nephew looked better without it.

"Harry, Dudley!" Petunia called from downstairs. "Your friends are here!"

"Coming, mum!" Dudley replied as they headed to the living room.

Arriving there, both boys' jaws dropped upon seeing five girls and one guy their age. Also, there were two young women accompanying them: one looked as if she was in her 20s or 30s, while the other looked as if she was in her 30s or 40s. Both looked immaculate, though. The younger woman was a brunette with her hair in waves and pulled up in a ponytail. Her skin was pale but complimented with chocolate brown eyes and pink shirt and blue jeans with trainers. The older woman had fair skin that complimented her green eyes, and her brown hair was in loose curls that fell to her waist. The fact that she looked younger was cemented by her black cami and blue jean shorts.

A girl with wavy metallic silver hair (dyed) falling past her knees and sporting a black Pokémon Pikachu shirt and jean short shorts witnessed the boys gawking at the older woman and laughed, "Boys," she said. "I know my gram is hot, but don't think she's your type."

Their eyes widened upon hearing that before Harry replied, "Katelyn, she's your grandmother? She's too young!"

Katelyn's grandmother had to chuckle at this. "I'm flattered, Harry," she blushed. "but I'm forty-four. Her mum's twenty-seven. I'm Annabeth Sertori, by the way."

Shaking her hand, he blushed. "I'm Harry Potter," he laughed before pointing to his cousin. "and this is my cousin, Dudley Dursley."

Dudley also shook her hand, "Pleasure to meet you, ma'am."

The other woman stepped up and shook the boys' hands, "I'm Lisa Gunden," she chirped, pointing at the boy sporting the shaggy brown hair. "And this is my son Kieran."

The boy held out his hand for the boys to shake. "Nice to meet you," he smiled. "Call me K.C."

They each shook his hand before Harry turned to Katelyn. "One of us?" he mouthed.

Katelyn nodded with a smile on her face before K.C. went on to explain, "I was attacked by a werewolf named Greyback before winter break. Katelyn found and turned me after your ritual, so I no longer had to turn into an uncontrollable beast against my will. Now, I'm a wolf and her second-in-command."

Noticing Harry's raised eyebrow, Katelyn's sharp blues locked with his green eyes, "K.C.'s been there for me through the hardest times, and he's fought alongside me, Harry," she stated before addressing the group. "Surely, you understand my choice."

"Of course we do, Kate," the dirty blonde behind Katelyn immediately answered before holding out her hand to Dudley. "Annabeth Trant but call me Annie."

"Pleased to meet you, Annie."

A brunette with her hair swept to the side came forth and shook Dudley's hand. "I'm Paige Dawson. Happy Birthday."

"Thank you, Paige."

A blonde girl, sporting a black crop top and blue jeans, came to both boys and shook both their hands. "I'm Mia Snape. Katelyn's twin sister."

Hearing that made Harry and the Dursleys' jaws drop. Yeah, Harry knew Kate had a twin and they were both Snapes, but their surnames were once Sertori. What changed?

Before Harry could ask, Petunia spoke first. "Snape?" she asked, her eyes still widened. "As in Severus Snape?"

"Yes," Annabeth answered as they moved to sit on the couches. "Up until a few months ago, he didn't know. He fainted when he found out."

"That I would've paid to see."

Mia then took over. "Yeah, mum and I were visiting gran and grandpa at the time. We were at Hogsmeade getting some herbs for some potions for mum and discussing whether we should tell him or not and guess what?"

Harry laughed in response. "Snape was there?"

"Yep! We heard a thud and turned to see what it was and lo and behold, we both found him on the floor passed out."

This aroused Vernon's interest. "So, what happened next?"

"Well…"

March 25 – Snape Finds Out

"Sev!" Haley called out, pulling her wand out and towards him, silently praying he didn't hear that. "Rennervate!"

In an instant, Severus' eyes shot open, and he sat up, slowly rising to his feet and facing Haley with widened eyes as he processed what he just heard. He then turned to Mia, eyes widening at the realisation that was revealed to him. He gently laid his hands on Mia's shoulder, staring at her before hugging her, with her returning his embrace.

Seeing this caused the twenty-six-year-old to hold her head in her hands and fight the upcoming tears. She wanted him to know from the moment she discovered she was pregnant. He was the first person she wanted to tell, but with the war here and her being in Australia, she had to wait. Also, her parents were super supportive upon finding out and promised to help her raise the girls. By the time the girls were born, she was focused on being a mother and wanted them to have happy lives. Besides, it grew harder to tell him as time passed and the fact her other daughter was Merlin knows where since the age of six. That's when she decided to hold off telling him until she returned.

A grip on her arm shook her back to reality, and she turned her head to see the man in black leering at her, causing her to shake.

"Well, well, Haley," he drawled, his other arm around Mia. "It seems that a long conversation that is beyond overdue."

With that, the trio left the shoppe and apparated to Snape's.

Arriving inside, Severus took their jackets and place them on the hanger beside the door. As they made their way to his study, the not so sullen Potions Master asked Mia to wait in the kitchen, causing Haley to pale a little, but Mia just nodded and walked to the designated area.

With his daughter out of the way, Snape took out his wand and silently cast a silencing charm around the room to ensure Mia didn't hear what happened next.

When he turned to the woman now known as the mother of his child, he closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, "Why the hell didn't you tell me, Haley?" his voice was calm.

Haley had to take a deep breath of her own, as her heart was still racing. "I wanted to, Severus," she gasped, her eyes never leaving his. "I really did, but I was thirteen and the war was still…"

"You thought I would've abandoned you and turned away our daughter?" his voice rising before yelling. "DID YOU REALLY THINK THAT LITTLE OF ME, LITTLE GIRL?"

"NEVER! I just wanted to keep it from you until the war was over, but my parents were afraid you'd want to marry me before I was ready, and they were super supportive when they found out I was pregnant. They helped me raise the girls and ensure we were all healthy and happy growing up!"

His eyes expanded upon hearing her last sentence, "Girls?" he gasped.

Haley nodded at this, "Twins," she smiled slightly. "Our other daughter is Katelyn. She's not here right now."

"Where is she?"

The hazel-eyed beauty took another deep breath, "Have you heard of an ancient witch named Dahlia?"

Severus covered his mouth and nodded in response. "I heard that she takes witches that are very powerful from their families and train them for years before returning them home. Why do you ask?"

"Katelyn is one of them."

"WHAT?" he shouted, slithering closer to Haley and grasping her shoulders. "WHEN WAS SHE TAKEN?"

Feeling the tears pouring down her face, Haley started hyperventilating before bursting into a full-blown sob. "After their fifth birthday! My parents and I were teaching them magic before then, but it wasn't enough. She said that Katelyn needed more help since her magic was stronger and more devastating. I begged her not to and asked her to give us some time, but… but…"

As she was sliding to the floor, Severus instantly pulled her to her feet and took her in his arms, to which Haley returned his embrace while still crying. His eyes softened upon reminding himself of her age when she was pregnant. She was barely a teenager when they hooked up and with the war going on, of course she would hold off on telling him. Also, she was fifteen when the war was over and that was still too young to think about marriage, and yes, he would've insisted.

Right now, however, he was more concerned with calming Haley before she had a heart attack than anything; so, he lifted her up and sat himself in the armchair before placing her on his lap and rubbing her back in circles to soothe her. Yeah, he may have been angry, but Haley wasn't all at fault.

Burying her face into his neck, Haley's breathing slowly evened out along with her heartbeat. Sitting up, she faced the father of her children and took a breath upon seeing his relaxed face. She then took a hand and put it to his face, inwardly smiling when he leaned into her touch, and brushed her thumb across her cheek. Then, she gasped in shock as he grabbed the back of her hair and pulled her into a fiery kiss, to which she gladly accepted.

(Lemon Warning)

Breaking the kiss, Sev locked eyes with Haley for a second to which she silently assured him she wanted this as much as she did. He immediately smirked before grabbing the front of her strapless dress and ripping it off her slender body, along with her green lacy thong, as she was rapidly unbuttoning his shirts and undoing his trousers before they snogged again, moaning and panting in each other's mouths.

Wrapping his arms around her, the Potions man quickly rose from the chair and gently lay Haley on the floor before taking off his slacks and boxers and chucking them across the room. He then looked at his prey below him with darkened eyes as he slithered atop of her, crashing their lips once more.

Tracing the back of his arms, Haley moved her hands to his back when he immediately pinned her hands above her head before moving one of his hands to her hot cunt and gently circling her clit. Gasping in pleasure, the brunette spread her legs further to allow Snape more access, to which he answered by burying his face in her folds and circling her clit again with his tongue.

"Oh, God!" Haley growled.

"No gods here, little girl!" he said, surrounding her clit with his mouth sucking continuously while tongue whipping it and pumping her insides with his finger, causing her to scream louder.

"Severus!" she shouted.

Feeling her juices splashing on his face, he licked his lips in satisfaction before hovering over her for another kiss before turning her over and playing with her clit with his monstrously wide and long cock, rubbing its head between it and the hole before finally sticking it inside her, making her shriek in a mix of pain and pleasure.

Grabbing her hips, Severus slowly pulled out except for the head and quickly slammed back in, causing Haley to scream as he continued the rough and fast pace. Both of their noises could arouse the neighbours if they had heard, since Snape was also screaming along with his lover. After a few minutes of this, Snape felt himself at his end and snaked one hand to finger Haley's clit, causing her to come before he came himself, both immediately collapsing to the floor.

(Lemon ends)

Despite panting from the blissful activities, Snape pulled out of Haley and rolled on his back before taking her in his arms. Wrapping an arm around him, Haley placed her head on his chest.

"Oh God! I didn't know how much I needed that!" she smiled, stroking the side of his body.

Snape pressed a kiss on the top of her head and rubbed her back, "I think we both did, little girl," he replied, sitting up and taking her with him. "But you knew this was inevitable, didn't you?"

"Yeah, I did."

Turning her head to face him, Severus' eyes turned serious before saying, "I understand the circumstances you not telling me we had daughters, but now that I know, we will be taking the next step for us and them."

Haley took a deep breath at this, "There isn't a day that goes by that I haven't thought of you, Severus," she said, placing herself in a straddling position and grasping his shoulders. "I've always wondered if you would fall in love with me like I've been with you."

His eyes widened at this, "A-a-are you s-saying that you've been in love with me s-since you were thirteen?"

She nodded, her eyes never leaving his. "Your smile could light up an entire room, Sev," she whispered with a smile of her own. "Also, you were genuinely kind to me when some of people I met back then treated me like I was a freak because I wasn't forced to be 'proper' or 'refined'."

She saw that smile again and formed one herself when he pulled her into a hug and whispered in her ear, "I love you too, Haley."

She gasped and slowly pulled back, tears creeping from her eyes, "Really?"

He beamed again and nodded. "You didn't judge me based on appearance or my reputation," he said, wiping the coming tears from her eyes. "You gave me a chance when almost no one else did. After you had to return home, I was saddened but relieved that you were safe from all that, and I hoped to see you again."

Speechless at his words, Haley did the only thing she could and kissed him softly, to which he gladly returned.

*Back to the Present*

After hearing the story, there was not a single dry eye in the room. Not even Vernon, who barely cried over anything. Katelyn, despite hearing the story from her sister, was dabbing tears from her handkerchief before adjusting her loose curly brown hair which ran past her knees.

"So, your parents got together the first time they meet again?" Dudley asked, drumming his knees with his fingers.

"Well, they're taking it slow," Mia laughed. "It's been fourteen years."

A reddish-blonde girl was staring into space. "Well, I still think it's romantic," she swooned before shaking her head and running to Harry and the Dursleys. "I'm Becky Braddock, by the way. I was in Chloe's group while training with Dahlia."

Dudley turned to Harry, "Isn't she your age? And who's Chloe?"

That's when a slightly older girl with black hair stood up. "I'm Chloe Yaeger. I'm seventeen and Becky, myself and two other girls were training with Dahlia for three years before they showed up. Becky was two when she started, so yeah, she's thirteen."

Both Katelyn and Mia's eyes locked with the ravenette's blues, who nodded, before the younger girls chorused together. "She's also our sister!"

"SAY WHAAAAT!" Harry shouted. "Snape fucked another girl?"

Vernon gave him a glare, "Language, son!" he then turned to Chloe. "I'm taking Severus knows nothing about you."

She shook her head. "My mom was visiting from Canada and hooked up with him," she laughed. "She was fresh out of school and thought he was hot!"

Petunia raised her eyes at Chloe's words, "She thought he was hot? Oh well! To each his own."

Everyone just laughed at that. Yeah, Snape was no movie star, but he was no ogre either. Katelyn and Mia thought him hot, and Mia told her twin that he was a good dad. They bonded over her love for playing the violin and cooking. He practically lives at their house now.

Later that night

Vernon and Petunia got called away on business at the last minute, so the gang relocated the party to Annabeth's. Also, Sirius owled Dudley his present because he was busy with his cousin's wedding that was taking place the next afternoon. They also did some last-minute shopping on some dresses and suits for the event. After talking it over, they decided to announce their return to their families by going, surprising parents and godfather alike. Also, Katelyn's cousin Ara was getting married and no way she would miss that.

"Are you sure this is okay?" Katelyn asked, holding the dress she bought.

Annabeth smiled at her granddaughter and simply nodded, "It's perfect, sweetheart," she laughed. "I know it's a little short and the front has a split, but…"

"I'm more concerned about the back, gram," she replied, turning around and lifting the back of her top, exposing the dragon tattoo on her upper right shoulder.

"I think that'll be the last thing on their minds, baby. Everyone will be focused of the bride and groom, not your body art."

"Okay," Katelyn said, pulling her grandmother into a hug. "and the heels you bought to go with it will look amazing!"

"Not to mention you'll catch the eye of a certain guy there," Annie said, kissing her cheek. "He'll fall at your feet the minute he sees you in that dress!"

Kate's face turned pink at Annie's words, but she smiled and said nothing. She knew the guy didn't care what she wore but hoped to catch his eye. They've been in contact for years through, even after she trained with Dahlia. They got along when they first met at four and grew closer through letters. Heck, with Dahlia's consent, she used teleportation to visit him and Mia whenever she could, then her grandparents later. During her time with Dahlia, she was forbidden to see her mom face to face, but Kate had always written her to update her over the years and vice versa. She also sent gifts to her family on Holidays and Birthdays to let them know she still thought of them.

A few hours later, everyone turned in for the night. Katelyn, Paige, Chloe, and Becky slept in one room with K.C., while Annie and Dudley took another with Harry. Mia went back home to throw off suspicion with her parents since the big reveal was tomorrow.

Stirring from her sleep, Katelyn gently pried herself from K.C.'s arms and tipped-toed to the kitchen in her black cami top and Pikachu sleep shorts.

"Couldn't sleep, either?"

Taking her eyes from her feet, she smiled as she saw Harry sitting at the island table sipping some tea, sporting a grin himself.

"Hi, Harry," she hoarsed, getting a cup for herself and making some lavender tea before sitting across from him.

Turning away from her for a moment, the ravenet took a deep breath before staring into her eyes, "Why K.C.?" he softly asked, never releasing visual contact. "Why not me, Paige, or even Annie? Why choose him as your second?"

Taking a deep breath herself and nodding at him, Katelyn took his hand. "Harry, K.C. proved his loyalty in a matter of weeks and followed me into danger without being asked," she said. "He was there to help me with Greyback and his merry men, along with Paige and Becky. He took the lead when I down and out without hesitation."

He turned away again, "I shouldn't have ignored you," he whispered, tears falling from his eyes. "I was so stupid."

"We all do stupid things, Harry. It makes us human. We just have to learn from them and do better in the future. Besides, you and Annie were studying at Bath Spa while Becky and I were at Wellesley and Paige at Smith. We probably would've been done before you came."

"I should've tried," he wiped the tears from his face. "You're my best friend! I shouldn't have been mad that you and Paige went to university a year before I did. I should've been happy you got into the schools you wanted!"

"Well, we had to go when we were nine because it took four years to graduate, and Becky went a year earlier because she wanted to do the fast-track master's programme at UMass so she could finish at thirteen with the rest of us."

Taking a sip of tea, Harry laughed at that, "And mine and Annie's took three. I graduated with an Honours BA in Fine Arts while she has a Bachelor's in Fashion Design. We also trained when we weren't studying or doing activities."

"I know you both grew stronger, Harry. We sparred while I visited," she chuckled, drinking her drink. "Also, I graduated with a BA in English and Creative Writing, and I was in the Honours programme while Paige has a Bachelor's in Dance. We also continued our training with Becky's help. Of course, she has a Bachelor's in Neuroscience and a Master's in Neuroscience and Behaviour. She wants to make mental and psychological help available to wizardkind."

"I'm an artist, and you're a writer. Annie's a fashion designer and Paige, a dancer. What about Chloe?"

"She's a traveling photographer with a six-month-old daughter," another voice chimed in, joining the duo. "I couldn't sleep either. I'm especially nervous."

Harry pulled back a seat for Chloe, who gladly sat next to him and used telekinesis to get some Oreos from the cabinet and a cup for herself.

"If you're worried he's going to kill you for having a kid out of wedlock, then don't," Katelyn placed her hand on Chloe's. "He should know that this can happen to anyone."

Taking a cookie for himself, Harry wrapped his free hand around Chloe, "You didn't bring her?" he asked. "I'm sure Snape will want to meet her right away."

"Carly's with Jennifer at my flat in Brighton," she said before noticing the confused look on Harry's face. "Jennifer's is Carly's aunt through her father. I had her come for a few weeks to watch her and get some practice in."

Harry reached for the back of his neck and shrugged at Chloe's statement, to which she shook her head. "Jennifer, or Jenny, is Carly's father's little sister. She's my age and is having a baby herself." She then took a photo from her wallet and handed it to him.

Looking at the photo, made his jaw drop. The baby had captivating blue eyes and wavy brown hair that reached her shoulders. If he didn't know better, Harry would swear that Carly was Katelyn cloned out of a cloning machine.

Hearing a deep breath from the older Snape, the boy-who-lived snapped out of his thoughts. "Also," she said, her fist clenched on the counter. "I want to get the unpleasantries out of the way before he meets her, if there are any."

Jumping from her seat, Kate walked around to her older sister, pulling her head to her chest. "It's going to be okay, Chloe. Snape will love you and Carly. You'll see."

A/N: Yes, I wrote a sex scene with Snape and Haley, but they were both adults in this chapter. Yes, kids can graduate college or university at thirteen in real life for those who don't know that. Also, as for the speedy relationship? I slept with my spouse within a few hours of meeting her and we've been together for over a decade – Married for under nine.
