Author's POV
After they all made it back to the Manor, Holly was the first to say anything. "I feel bad for leaving Harry alone with our aunt and uncle." She said with a sad look and her face. "It'll be okay. You'll see him when school starts Holls." Draco said with a blush. "I guess you're right, Draco, but they aren't exactly the most pleasant people to be around they also hate magic, and they hate my parents." Holly said with a smile that her brother would be safe from them when the school year started. "By the way, dear, we had the house elves set up your room." Narcissa said with a soft smile. "Um, what are 'house elves?" Holly asked, looking over at Narcissa. "They are elves that serve rich magical families." Lucius said. "But are they enslaved?" Holly asked. "No, we couldn't properly function without them." Draco said. "Alright, so you're saying my parents had a house elf?" Holly asked. "Yes, but not where they had been living but at the Potter manor they did." Narcissa said with a sad smile on her face. "Okay, so you're saying they help us because we aren't able to always care for ourself for certain things?" Holly asked. "Yes, Holly, that is correct." Lucius said. "But Holls remember this we will one day have this place to ourselves." Draco said. "Oh, that is true, so the elves are there to help us with things we aren't able to do." Holly said. "Yes, you hit the nail right on the head, Holly." Narcissa said, smiling. "Well, mother, I'm tired after a long day, but we should show Holly to her room." Draco said. "Ah yes, I almost forgot." Narcissa said. "Holly, what are your favorite colors?" Draco asked. "Oh. Green, Silver, Orange, and Black." Holly said. "Alright, we'll make your dream come true." Narcissa said while giving her wand a wave. "What do you mean?" Holly asked. "Come now dear, we'll show you." Lucius said, grabbing Holly's hand and taking her upstairs to her room. "Alright, this is your room." Narcissa said, opening the door to the room. "Oh my, I love it!" Holly shouted, turning around with the biggest smile on her face. "I'm glad." Narcissa said, walking up and hugging Holly. "Holly, you should go and check out your room." Lucius said, walking up to stand by Narcissa. "Alright." Holly said, walking inside the room to see two Gryffindor plushies with her parents' names on them. "Oh my, these belonged to my parents." Holly said. "Yes, and they both have your parent's magical signature in them one them is for your brother." Narcissa said with a smile on her face. "I'll be sure to give him the second one when we start school." Holly said with a small but sad smile. "Good for now, why don't you and Draco head downstairs so you both can eat? Then we'll go back to Diagon Alley to get Holly some more clothes." Lucius said. "Alright." Draco said, grabbing Holly's hand and taking her downstairs. "Draco, I love it here, but I know my brother would also like it here." Holly said. "Yes, but your brother decided to live with your aunt and uncle somewhere that isn't safe, but you decided to be somewhere safe." Draco said. "I know, but he is my twin brother, and I care about him." Holly said, looking at Draco. "I know Holls, but that was his decision to live there, not yours." Draco said before hugging Holly. "Who knows, maybe he'll decide to come home with you after school ends this year." Draco said before pulling away from the hug. "Alright, so is there any food you'd like to have?" Narcissa asked as she entered the room. "Oh, I like steak, mashed potatoes and gravy, chips (French fries), and for dessert, I like strawberries." Holly said, blushing a bit. "Alright, I'll have the elves start on dinner." Narcissa said before walking into the kitchen. "Wait!!" Holly shouted before running up to Narcissa to give her a hug. "Oh! Dear, what's wrong?" She asked. "Thank you for giving me a home." Holly said before going back over to Draco. "Honey, there is no need to thank me." Narcissa said before entering the kitchen. "But this is my first real family." Holly said with a smile on her sweet face. After Narcissa told the elves what Holly wanted for dinner her and Lucius decided to go into the family room with Draco and left Holly finish doing what she wanted to with her room. "Aright, it's time to set things up in my room the way I like it." Holly said before starting to hum to herself. "I'm caught up in your expectations. You try to make me live your dream. You want me to show more interest. To always keep a big bright smile. Be that pinky little perfect princess. But I'm not that type of child. And the storm is rising inside of me. It's getting harder to breathe. It hurts deep inside. Just let me be who I am. It's what you really need to understand. And I hope so hard for the pain to go away. And it's torturing me. Wanna put me in a box of glitter. But I'm just trying to get right out. And now you're feeling so bitter. Because I've let you down. And the storm is rising inside of me. Don't you feel that our worlds collide? It's getting harder to breathe. It hurts deep inside. Just let me be who I am. It's what you really need to understand. And I hope so hard for the pain to go away. And it's torturing me. But I can't break free. So I cry and cry but just won't get it out. The silent scream. My silent scream." Holly sang, but she didn't know that Draco had come to get her for dinner. "Wow, Holls, you have a beautiful singing voice." Draco said. "Oh! Draco, thank you, but how long have you been standing there?" Holly asked. "Oh, dinner got done about a minute after you got up to your room, so I came to tell you when I heard you singing." Draco said bashfully. "Oh well, no one but my brother and our aunt, uncle, and cousin knows about my singing." Holly said. "Were you ever gonna tell us?" Draco asked. "Yeah, eventually." Holly said. "But you wanted to hide it." Draco said. "Well, yeah, when I was living with my muggle family, they would have me sing as a way to entertain their guests while my brother got started on dinner then after the song they would send me to help on dinner till we were sent to the cupboard under the stairs." Holly said. "Did you guys at least get dinner?" Draco asked, walking up to Holly. "Not always. Sometimes, we would then sometimes we wouldn't there were times where I had to sleep in Dudley's room." Holly said. "For what reason?" Draco asked. "To be his maid the very next day. I always slept on the floor, tho." Holly said while trying to stay calm about being their personal maid. "Well, forget about that now you are with us and are safe." Draco said before grabbing Holly's hand and taking her downstairs so that they could eat. "Well, well, what took so long?" Lucius asked. "Oh, Holly and I were talking." Draco said. "Well anyway Holly come sit and eat." Narcissa said. 'I understand if you have gotten this far and are a bit confused I did say that this chapter would have more details on the story and yes Severus Snape in this story is both Harry and Holly's Godfather as well as Draco's Godfather but as this chapter goes on it'll make a bit more sense considering this chapter is focused the most on Holly before it switches over to being with Harry the day before they all leave for Hogwarts. If you have any questions for this chapter, don't hesitate to comment, and I'll get back to y'all asap.' "Now Draco, Severus will be coming over today to help tutor Holly on potions." Lucius said. "Oh, but I thought he didn't like the potters." Draco said. "Oh, excuse me. Is he the man that my mother was telling us about?" Holly asked. "What do you mean, dear?" Narcissa asked. "Well there was a book that I have had since I was a baby that my Aunt and Uncle were unsuccessful in destroying and in it my mother was writing about a man named Severus Snape who was exceptional in potions." Holly said before doing a spell before she even knew what she was doing, and she didn't even have her wand yet. "Holly 'Accio' is a summoning spell that takes years to master." Snape said suddenly appearing in the archway of the dining room. "Uncle Sev." Is all Holly said before getting up and hugging Snape with Lily's journal in hand. "Whoa wait, 'Uncle Sev'?" Draco asked. "Ah yeah, in this journal, my mother had named Snape and Sirius Black as mine and Harry's godfathers." Holly said before grabbing Snapes hand to bring him over to the table so he can eat with them. "That is right me and Sirius were trying to get you both in our custody, but Dumbledore said it wouldn't be safe and put my soulmate in Azkaban." Severus said before giving Holly a kiss on her head. "Wait, that is where he is?!" Holly asked in shock. "Yes." Snape said. "Well, I know for a fact that it wasn't Padfoot who betrayed my parents but Wormtail." Holly said. "Holly, we are going to tell you something that we were going to wait to tell you." Snape said. "What is it?" Holly asked. "Well, for one, we need to find evidence to get Sirius out of Azkaban." Narcissa said. "Well, there is something." Holly said. "What?" Snape asked. "Wasn't he with you that night all night?" Holly asked. "Yeah." Severus said. "Well, just give them your memory of that night it'll be more than enough evidence to get him out." Holly said before finishing her food. "It should work, but I'm not sure they would, considering I'm a former death eater." Snape said. "We won't know till we try." Holly said before getting up. "Well, we all need to head to bed so we can head back to Diagon Alley to get the rest of your stuff for school." Narcissa said. "I understand." Draco and Holly said before they both went to their rooms to get some sleep. Throughout the night, Holly had a nightmare of the night, her parents' deaths to the point where she ran to Severus's room. "Dear one, it'll be alright. Don't worry, you'll be okay." Severus said before laying down with Holly and coxing her to sleep. The next morning when the house elves went to wake Holly up in her room and found she wasn't there and went to tell Narcissa, who was in the dining room. "It'll be alright. I'm sure she is here somewhere." Lucius said. "I'm here." Holly said as she and Severus entered to room they entered the dining room. "Where have you been?" Narcissa asked. "I went to Uncle Sev last night due to me having a nightmare about my parents dying." Holly said. "Oh my dear, are you alright?" Lucius asked. "I'm fine, though my room now looks like a green explosion happened in it." Holly said. "What do you mean?" Severus asked. "Well, before I ran to you, there was some kind of light that shot out of me." Holly said. "Well, let's have a look, shall we." Severus said right as Draco walked into the room. "Holly, why were you screaming in your sleep last night?" Draco asked. "Well, I had a nightmare about the night of my parents' deaths." Holly said. "Oh well, there is always getting you another stuffed animal with our magical signature in it." Draco said. "I like that idea. Can it be a snake?" Holly asked. "Sure, how about a snake with a potion bottle?" Snape asked, looking down at Holly. "Sure." Holly said. "So Holly, did you get a pet yet or a wand or even your other school supplies?" Snape asked. "No, but my brother did, and that is only because Hagrid had pulled my brother to Ollivanders when I stopped outside of Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions." Holly said. "Alright, I'm sure your brother got everything that he needs, but we are going to make sure that you have everything that you need." Narcissa said. "Alright." Holly said before going to sit at the table. "Uncle Severus, is it alright if I buy Holly something like protection jewelry?" Draco asked before he and Severus went over to the table to eat. "I don't see why not though it'll take a few years, so I'm going to get the heiress ring from mine and Sirius's vault." Severus said. "Wait, you and Sirius are married?" Draco asked. "Yes, we got married the same year as James and Lily did." Severus said. "But that doesn't make any sense." Draco said. "Draco, we graduated in 1978 then got married in 1979, then Harry and Holly were born a year after." Severus said. "But wait, so that means Harry and Holly are the heirs to the Potter family?" Draco asked he and Severus went to sit down at the table. "What are you guys talking about?" Holly asked. "Oh, what year your parents as well as Sirius and I got married." Severus said with a small smile on his face at the memory. "Ew, don't do that." Holly said in joking manner. "What do you mean?" Severus asked in an amused tone. "Smile." Holly said before laughing. "Well, let's eat before we have to leave the manor and get the rest of Holly's things." Narcissa said. "Draco, my brother has the twin wand of Voldemort." Holly said. "Well, you're not scared." Severus said. "Of course not we were supposed to be with you and Sirius, but Dumbledore didn't think it would be safe, so we ended up with the Dursley's who, in turn, were quite abusive." Holly said as a silent tear went down her face. "And your brother wanted to go back?" Severus asked. "Yeah, Hagrid said it was where he will be safest." Holly said before walking up to her room to get dressed. "Severus go talk to her." Narcissa said, nudging Severus to go after her. "Fine." Severus said before walking upstairs. While Holly was upstairs getting ready, Severus came upstairs and knocked on the door. "Enter." Holly said. "Are you decent?" Severus said, not even opening the door. "Yes, I'm completely dressed." Holly said right before Severus opened the door. "Well, don't you look beautiful." Severus said before walking over to Holly to help her with her hair. "Thank you, Uncle Sev." Holly said. "Now Holly, if you ever hear Draco call someone a 'mudblood', you must know your mother was a muggle born and isn't anymore." Severus said. "What do you mean?" Holly asked. "Well when we were in school your mother, father, Sirius and I we all on a trip to the forbidden forest to get something for our Defense Against The Dark Arts teacher when something evil attacked your mother leaving her to her death when your grandmother and grandfather heard about it they both gave your mother their blood in turn your mother became a pure blood witch." Severus said. "Hagrid said that me and my brother were halfbloods like you, Uncle Sev." Holly said. "That is because Dumbledore doesn't know. And you are done." Severus said before stepping back. "So my grandparents gave my mother their blood?" Holly asked. "Yes, your mother, according to your grandparents, had a small vile of blood left in her system when they went to give her their blood." Severus said as he and Holly started heading downstairs. "Holly!" Draco said before grabbing her hand and running to a hiding place. "Draco, what in the world are you doing? We need to go." Holly said. "No, Dumbledore is here to take you back to the Dursley's." Draco said. "No, I can't go back." Holly said before her magic started to flair. "Wait, Holly, where are you going?" Draco asked as Holly started to walk towards Dumbledore and her family. "YOU." Holly said while she was walking up to Dumbledore. "Ah, there you are Holly it's time to head back to the Dursley's." Dumbledore said. "NO, I DON'T THINK SO!" Holly shouted. "Now Holly." Dumbledore started to say only to be cut off. "NO, SIR, YOU LISTEN YOUR THE REASON MY GODFATHER SIRIUS BLACK IS IN AZKABAN AND THE REASON ME AND MY BROTHER WENT THROUGH SO MUCH ABUSE!" Holly shouted before a burst of magic came off of her. "Holly, calm down, dear, we'll get him out." Severus said before risking his ass the walk up to Holly. "Uncle Sev." Is all Holly said before she turned around to hug Severus. "I suggest you leave, Professor." Severus said while holding his goddaughter. "Alright, well, I'll see you three at the start of school." Dumbledore said. After he left Holly out right, he started to sob. "Dear, it'll be okay." Lucius said. After about an hour after Holly calmed down, they all went to Diagon Alley to help Holly get the rest of her things. "Uncle Severus, I have a question for you." Holly said. "Yes." Severus said before looking over at Holly while they were heading to Ollivanders. "What kind of wand do you think I'll get?" Holly asked. "I'm not sure, but we will find out in just a moment." Severus said before the group stopped right outside of Ollivanders. "Well, let's get this over with." Holly said before they all stepped inside. "Why hello Heiress Potter, I was wondering when you would arrive." Garrick Ollivander said as soon as he saw Holly. "Um, sir, I'm here for my wand." Holly said. "Right here we are." Garrick said as soon as he pulled out the first box. "Whoa." Is all Holly said as soon as she picked up the wand. "Interesting." Garrick said. "What?" Holly asked. "Well, usually it takes several wands before a wand chooses you, but you ended up with this one on the first try." Garrick said. "Is that good?" Holly asked. "Of course, and this particular wand is 10 1/4", willow, swishy, and with a core of unicorn hair." Garrick said. "Wait, isn't that similar to what you said about my wand?" Draco asked. "Yes, but yours is 10" precisely, Hawthorn wood and with a unicorn hair core." Garrick said. "Oh, so our wands are twins as well." Holly said. "No, Heir Malfoy's wands core is from a different unicorn while Heiress Potter's wands core is from another." Garrick said. "Thank you. Now, how much do I owe you?" Holly asked. "No need to pay for your entire family has a tab." Garrick said. "Oh well, I guess we'll be off then. Thank you again." Holly said before walking out of Ollivanders and to another store where she'll be getting stuff for potions. "Now Holly, these are the stuff you need to get." Severus said before handing Holly a piece of parchment with a list of potion ingredients.
Forgetfulness Potion This potion causes some memory loss to the drinker. The key ingredients are mistletoe berries, valerian sprigs, and Lethe River Water. Sleeping Draught This potion is made with lavender, valerian sprigs, Flobberworm Mucus, and Standard Ingredient. When brewed correctly, it will turn a dark purple color. Draught of Living Death This potion contains valeriana, wormwood, and asphodel, and it makes you sleep. Amortentia This potion makes people have a crush on you. Felix Felicis This potion is also known as the luck potion, but it may have side effects if used in too much. Skele-Gro This potion regrows bones and can heal badly broken bones, but it tastes bad, burns, and causes intense pain.
"This is what I need to get to make these potions?" Holly asked. "Well, yes though, Skele-Gro isn't really something you'll have to worry about till around second or third year of school, though learning it now won't hurt." Severus said. "But wait, these seem dangerous." Holly said. "And they can be if you brew it wrong, but seeing as I am the schools Potions Master it is my job to be sure that you won't end up hurt brewing these." Severus said. "What happens if I accidently brew a poison instead?" Holly asked. "And that won't happen seeing as I'm there to stop you from brewing one." Severus said, not mentioning how he had done it to someone who intended to hurt Sirius. "Uncle Sev, I think it's time to head back home." Holly said. "Oh, is it?" Severus asked before he noticed that Draco had taken the list for potions and gone to collect the stuff while his parents had gone to collect all of Holly's books. "Indeed it is." Narcissa said. "Oh, you have all of Holly's things." Severus said, looking the three. "Why yes, you both were talking, and we didn't want to interrupt you, so we decided to go get all of the things she would need." Lucius said. "I appreciate it, thank you." Holly said. "It's no problem." Draco said, blushing a bit. "Draco, would you and Holly start heading down to knockturn ally to get some of the other stuff you would need." Narcissa said. "Oh, uh, sure." Draco said, grabbing Holly's hand and heading to knockturn ally. "So. Dray, what is in this ally way?" Holly asked. "Well, it's where dark wizards and witches go." Draco said. "But is your parents a dark wizard and witch?" Holly asked. "Yes, there is also something else." Draco said. "What is that?" Holly asked. "Well..." Draco started. "We follow the dark lord." Lucius said. "Oh, so you follow the man that killed my parents?" Holly asked. "Yes, but he wasn't trying to kill your parents because he had offered your parents protection from Dumbledore and his crazy need to stay in power." Lucius said. "What do you mean?" Holly asked. "You remember how Dumbledore came to the house to try and take you back THERE?" Draco asked. "Yes, I remember, and I also remember feeling weak there." Holly said. "What do you mean Holly?" Severus asked. "What I mean is that I could barely do anything without having the feeling like something was wrong." Holly said. "Holly, you shouldn't have been feeling like that there." Narcissa said. "Well, this is Dumbledore that we are talking about he wants Holly to be in Gryffindor when she'll obviously be in Slytherin." Severus said with a sneer on his face. "Uncle Sev, I have a question." Holly said. "Yes, my dear." Severus said, looking at Holly. "What was my mother like in school?" Holly asked. "She was very kind and was my best friend, but before we met your dad and the others, it was just me and your mother." Severus said. "So you and mom knew each other?" Holly asked. "Yes, and Lily was very adamant about not going to Godric's Hollow that night." Severus said. "But the headmaster said it would be safer, and so they ended up there?" Holly asked. "No, he killed your grandparents." Severus said. "Oh, so they went there thinking the Voldemort killed my grandparents?" Holly asked. "Yes, but it was Dumbledore who killed them." Severus said. "My parents must be rolling in their graves right about now." Holly said. "Oh, I'm sure they are Holly." Narcissa said. "Father, can we go there are to many dark wizards looking at Holly." Draco said. "Yes, we can." Lucius said, guiding the family out of Knockturn ally though Severus stayed and went to go grab the other books that the kids will need to be reading. After about two minutes, Severus came out of the ally with the books and some stuff that he needed for a certain potion. "Alright, dear ones, let's head home." Lucius said before he and everyone headed home so they could pack and get ready to start school.
