Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, and make no profit from writing this story.

A/N: Many may remember the original, but I had to pull it from this site and add it to another website, due to the nature of the theme. So I have decided to take a different approach, this version Harry and Rose will not be romantically involved, but they will be close. To Balance this, I have decided to add an OC who will be Daphne's twin brother. Also, I am pleased to announce after a long delay and severe writer's block, the next chapter of Rebellion of Hogwarts is halfway done and should be released Saturday night. So on to this story.

Chapter One So It begins

by Kevin1984

Godric Hollow 1981

Albus Dumbledore, Chief warlock of the Wizengamot and headmaster of Hogwarts witchcraft and wizardry, carefully made his way towards the small cottage. He had been alerted to the disturbance from his Office in Hogwarts. The home belonged to a young couple and their two children who were twins. He knew he needed to work fast the authorities hadn't yet been alerted.

As he approached the front door he could feel the dark magic coming off the handle. The magical signature was undeniable. It was the magical signature of a former student, one who had turned to the Dark arts. Sensing the worse, the old wizard pushed open the door. Inside the walls were itched with spellfire. Dumbledore could see into the lounge, the body of a young man laid dead. Albus walked into the lounge. There lay dead with his eyes still wide open was James Potter. No mark was left on the body, only one curse could have done this. Just as the old wizard was examining the body he heard the unmistakable sound of two babies crying. Albus eyes widened he had expected at least one child to survive but two. Very quickly the old wizard left the lounge and made his way to the staircase.

The first thing he noticed was the different items now littered on the stairs. Clearly someone had been trying to prevent someone from climbing them. Carefully he made his way upstairs and along the landing. He came upon a room where the door had been blasted off its hinges. He made his way inside the dark room. Furniture and toys laid everywhere. The walls were also covered in scorch marks made by spell fire. On the floor laid another lifeless body, this one was that of Lily Potter James' wife and the twins' mother. Albus ignored the body and walked towards the cot where the crying was now coming from. He peeked over the small railing into the cot. There laid close together were a baby boy and a baby girl. Albus looked down at the babies and noticed both suddenly stopped crying. He first looked to the girl and realized that she seemed to be alright, however when he looked to the boy, his eyes twinkled. Just above the boy's eye was a nasty wound that at taken shape of a lightning bolt.

Dumbledore wasn't interested in the girl it was the boy that he needed, however as he attempted to lift the boy from the crib he noticed a golden flash. He could see the now visible energy chain that had connected the two children. This had not been part of his plan. But then he, she should have expected something like this from the brightest witch of her age. After all the woman never truly trusted him.

"Clever Lily. Very clever. The twin bind spell. This means young Rose here has to be with Harry wherever he goes. You have really complicated things with this little bit of magic Lily."

Albus then leaned in and removed both babies. He held one cradled in each arm. It was then he noticed the smoldering pile of rags by the door. The magical signature coming off the rags matched that of his former pupil. However, there was no body.

Albus decided to ignore them for now, he needed to leave quickly, however just as he turned towards the door, he was confronted by a well-dressed man, with a neatly trimmed beard. Albus grumbled under his breath "Blasted Black!"

"Albus give me Harry and Rose, they are my responsibility now. I will keep them safe. As their Godfather, then guardianship of the twins falls onto me, now that James and Lily have died."

Albus frowned. This wasn't his night, first, the girl had survived and now blasted Black was here. The old wizard knew the man was right. He had been at James and Lily's will signing and Sirius Black had been top of that list, along with several others who he didn't want to be involved with the twins. If he could Albus would have happily handed over the girl, after all, she wasn't part of his grand plan. Unfortunately due to Lily's interference the boy and girl couldn't be separated.

"Sirius you know as well as I do that Voldemort still has followers out there. The magical world is not safe for young Harry and Rose. They need to be hidden. Away from our world until they are both ready to enter it. Now please step aside."

Sirius Black stood his ground. Most witches or wizards would cower before the great Albus Dumbledore, but not Sirius. He had never trusted the old fool in the first place. Sirius saw no reason for Lily and James to leave the wards of Potter Manor. After all the manor wards were just as strong as Hogwarts. The moment both parents had died he had felt the emotions of the twins due to the Godfather ritual which he had undertaken. Unfortunately, the Potter's floo had been blocked off, so he had to leave his families ward lines to apparate to Godric Hollow.

"Cut the crap Albus. You know what was stated in Lily and James will. In the event of their death than custody of Harry and Rose would switch to me. More importantly you are interfering in the business of two Most Ancient and Noble houses. You're only a minor house Dumbledore. If I dragged your bony arse through the Wizengamot you would be rotting in Azkaban in hours. Now Give me my Godchildren"

Albus had to think fast. Black was about to ruin everything. Albus placed both babies back in the cot, soon as they were laid down his wand slipped into his hand, he turned with a quick flick he cast a spell "Imperio!"

Sirius never had time to dodge the unforgivable. The shock that Albus had actually used it had stunned him. He attempted to fight off the curse, however, Albus magic was too strong, and Sirius's will couldn't break control. his eyes suddenly glazed over. His wand arm falling life-less by his side.

Albus grinned. Desperate time called for desperate measures. "Sirius you are to chase down Peter Pettigrew and kill him. You will not stop searching until he is dead. Now go!"

Albus watched Sirius transform into his animagus form of a Grim. Once Sirius had gone Albus turned back towards the cot. He then picked up both babies once more.

"Now let us get you two out of here and on your way to your new home shall we." Dumbledore had only planned for one child, but both were her family and so she shouldn't really mind looking after both of them.

Privet Drive

Dumbledore appeared on the corner of a small residential estate. He had left the care of the twins in the hands of his Grounds Keeper at Hogwarts. He would be arriving shortly. He removed a small device from his pocket. He then pointed the small device at the various street lamps. The light of the lamp suddenly started to dim as each one was caught in the strange device that Albus was now holding. Once all the lights were dimmed he placed the item back into his pocket. It was then he heard a small meow. Albus turned and looked down to see a black cat. He smiled.

"I should have expected to see you here professor McGonagall." Albus stood back and watched the cat suddenly change until standing before him was a regal looking witch.

"Good evening Professor Dumbledore. Are the rumors true Albus?" Minerva was praying that what she had heard was all lies. She couldn't believe two of her favorite pupils had been killed tonight. She looked into the face of Professor Dumbledore, hoping that he would tell her otherwise. However, her heart sank as he confirmed her fears.

"I am afraid so Minerva the good and the bad." It was true they had lost two of their students tonight, however, the good news was the person who had killed them had been stopped, by the boy now on their way towards them. The girl didn't matter she was just an added complication he would have to deal with.

Dumbledore looked up into the sky as a huge bright light slowly started to come towards them. There was a loud of ROAR! of an engine before a motorcycle with a sidecar touched down just in front of them.

"I trust you had no problems Hagrid?" Albus walked around to the sidecar and peaked inside the large basket both twins were asleep. He used his wand to levitate the basket from the sidecar. He had taken both twins to Hogwarts and taken some of their blood so that he could monitor both children. He didn't attend to look in on them that wasn't part of his plan, but he had to show at least some evidence that he was monitoring their health.

Hagrid was a half-giant and the groundskeeper at Hogwarts. Albus had given him the special task in bringing the twins from Hogwarts, traveling the way he did was too dangerous with two babies in his arms.

"No Sir. The two were sound asleep the whole journey. Try not to wake either of them."

Albus used his wand to control the levitation spell he was now using to transfer the basket to the doorstep of the house that would be their home and hopefully their prison. he could see Minerva was hot on his heels.

"Albus are you certain about this? I have watched these people all day, they are the worse type of muggles imaginable. Both these two children are too important to leave them in the care of muggles. There will not be a child, witch or wizard in our world who will not know their names."

Albus sighed. He wished the old bag would shut up. Albus knew exactly what he was doing. He couldn't have both twins growing up around magic, that would just complicate matters later on. He placed the basket onto the doorstep before placing an envelope inside it. "Minerva they are the only family they have left. Now let us go." It wasn't so much of a request, but an order.

Minerva still wasn't sure, but she had never known Albus to lead her astray. She watched as Albus pointed his wand and then sent a spell hitting the doorbell. Both then vanished into the night.

Privet Drive (1991)

"Up you two now!"

The loud banging on the door was causing vibrations. Slowly a young boy and girl lifted their heads out from under the quilt they were now sharing. The boy had black messy hair, green eyes and was wearing a pair of taped-up glasses. His name was Harry Potter. The girl had long black hair, green eyes and her name was Rose Potter. Both children quickly jumped out of bed. They both then began to get dressed. Having to share a room with each other for almost nine years meant they had seen each undressed plenty of times.

The boy grabbed a baggy pair of jeans with rips in them and an overly large plain white t-shirt. The girl was dressed in a pair of faded jeans and a top that was also too big for her.

Both children unbolted their door and then made their way downstairs. They quickly walked into the kitchen and began busying themselves. The boy went towards the cooker, while the girl started laying out plates and cutlery.

Sitting at the table was a huge man who had a small brush mustache under his nose. This was Vernon Dursley the man of the house and the boy and girl's uncle. He looked up from his paper. his biddy black eyes watching both twins closely. If he had his way both would be in an orphanage, however, his wife had insisted both twins had to live with them.

"You were both late this morning. It's a good thing Dudley is not up yet or you two would be going without supper tonight. Now bring me, my coffee girl and boy! where are those eggs, you better not have burnt them again."

Both children started to get on with their chores, The girl started to pour a cup of coffee, while the boy had just plated up the first plate of bacon, eggs, and sausages. He grabbed the plate before placing it in front of his uncle. Just as the boy had delivered the plate the girl had also placed her uncle's cup of coffee down.

"About bloody time! Now get on with the other breakfasts." Vernon then placed the newspaper down before tucking into his morning breakfast.

Just then the kitchen door opened up revealing a tall thin woman with a hooked nose. this was Harry and Rose's aunt Petunia, she was also the sister of Lily Potter. Today was special and she wanted everything perfect.

"Dudley will be down shortly. So I hope you two have made his breakfast just how he likes it. After all, it is his birthday today and I want everything to be just right."

Both children groaned before answering together. "Yes aunt Petunia." The two then went back to preparing their cousin's breakfast.

It was the same every morning, they would wait on their family hand and foot. They always had to wait until they had served everyone else before they were allowed to feed themselves. Normally they were lucky to get a slice of toast each. They were not allowed any of the eggs, bacon, and sausages. They noticed the door opened once more, this time revealing their cousin Dudley. He was the size of a small whale. The children noticed the chair creaked as their cousin sat on it. Quickly Harry grabbed the plate and placed it in front of his cousin.

Petunia nodded her head in approval. "Very good. As usual, you are allowed one slice of toast each. After that I want you both to take a bath. You will take one together so we save on the water bill. I will not have you two looking scruffy and ruining my Dudley special day."

The boy and girl made themselves a slice of toast each then left the kitchen and walked upstairs. The walked into their room and then fell on the bed. The girl moaned.

"Honestly Harry is this all we are to them. Their servants. I mean look at our clothes and our bed. We are forced to share one bed between the both of us, not to mention the small amount of food we get. "

Harry knew where his sister was coming from. He too was getting fed up with being treated like a servant. However, there was nothing they could do about it. He looked through his small pile of clothes and before walking towards the door.

"Coming Rose?"

Rose sighed before grabbing her own set of clothes. They then walked into the small bathroom. Harry began to run the bath while Rose started to get undressed. Harry respectively turned away from his sister, of course, he had seen everything before, but he felt maybe his sister would appreciate the privacy this time. After all, both were ten years old and in a few weeks, both would turn eleven.

He heard his sister giggle a little. "What are doing Harry. Come on its nothing you haven't seen before." Rose stood in front of Harry naked.

The boy tried to avoid the sight of his naked sister, but it was quite difficult being the bathroom was so tiny. Harry blushed then turned around before removing his boxers. Both children then climbed into the bath. As the bath was very small the two children didn't have that much room to move.

Rose handed Harry the soap and shampoo. "Harry, will you wash my back and wash my hair please?" rose loved it when her brother washed her long hair, he was always so gently. Unlike aunt Petunia when there babies.

Harry watched as Rose turned around and then lifted her hair out-of-the-way. Harry then grabbed some liquid soap and began to rub it all over Rose's back. Once every inch of her back was covered Harry rinsed her off. Next, he squeezed a good amount of shampoo on top of her head and started to rub it in. This was the usual routine between both of them. He grabbed a small bucket and rinsed her hair.

Rose then turned around and gave him a peck on the cheek. "Thank you Harry. At least I have you to keep me company. I would dread to think what life would be like without you by my side. Do you want me to do your back?"

Harry turned around and then allowed Rose to wash his back. of course, he could do it himself, but his sister really enjoyed this time they spent together, he didn't want to upset her. Seeing Rose upset or cry was heartbreaking for Harry. However, he had insisted on washing his own hair.

Just as they had finished in the bath they heard the voice of their aunt.

"Will you two hurry up. The Zoo opens in an hour and I want to be there for when it opens."

Both Harry and Rose groaned before climbing out of the bath. There was only one towel between them. Harry handed Rose the towel first, after all, she had the longest hair, plus he didn't want her catching a cold. Rose appreciated this and gave him another peek on the check.

Once they were ready they walked downstairs to see their uncle stood by the door. Just as the two were about to leave the house, their uncle put his arm across the door blocking their path.

"I am warning you two, any funny business, any at all and you will go without supper for a week. Now move it."

Harry and Rose knew exactly what funny stuff Uncle Vernon was talking about. A lot of strange things had happened to them. One involved Harry appearing on the roof, after being chased by a group of bullies. Other times included all aunt Petunia china smashing, at the same time. Vernon had said something about both their parents that had made them both mad and just like that all of aunt Petunia china had begun to smash around them. The twins quickly got into the car.

Harry decided to sit in the middle, he didn't like Rose sitting next to Dudley. His cousin would always try to touch her which made him very uneasy. Soon their uncle had climbed into the driving seat and they were off to the zoo.

London Zoo Reptile House

Harry and Rose followed their uncle and aunt around the various exhibits. This was a rare treat for both of them. Normally they would have to stay with the mad cat lady who lived just down the road from them. However this time she couldn't look after them and so their aunt and Uncle had been forced to bring them along on Dudley's birthday treat. Harry and Rose noticed Dudley and their uncle was stood in front of one of the glass boxes with snakes in. It seems Dudley wanted their uncle to make the snake move. Harry and Rose watched as their uncle banged on the glass. Soon though they had moved on. Harry decided to see just what they had been looking at. There curled up on dry bed of rock was a Boa. It wasn't native here and had been bred in captivity. Harry and Rose felt sorry for the snake. They knew just what it was like to be locked up.

"Sorry about him, he acts stupid sometimes." Harry's eyes suddenly widened as the snake slowly lifted its head, however, what surprised Harry more was Rose was looking at him.

Rose had suddenly heard her brother hiss, she had never heard him do that before and was quite afraid. "Harry what are you doing? Why are you hissing?"

Harry looked at Rose confused. Hissing, he wasn't hissing he was speaking to the snake. Harry turned his attention back to the snake. He noticed it was now slithering towards him. Harry wondered if the snake had heard him.

"Can you understand me?" Harry noticed the Snake began to nod its head. Harry turned to Rose. Now he was scared. Just then Dudley came budging up to the glass, knocking Rose on her behind.

If there was thing Harry hated it was seeing Rose hurt. Sure she had just been shoved over and didn't look hurt but quite angry. This upset Harry, and he turned to the glass and narrowed his eyes towards Dudley.

The glass separating the snake from his cousin suddenly vanished. They watched as Dudley fell into the huge box where the Boa had been resting. Harry and Rose then noticed the Snake slither out of the box and turn towards them. It raised its head before hissing at Harry.

"Thank you youngling." Harry and Rose watched as the snake slithered away, causing parents and children to scream.

Once the snake had left Harry and Rose, both turned to see the glass had reappeared and Dudley was almost in tears banging on it. It wasn't long before Harry and Rose saw their aunt and Uncle running towards the glass trying to get there dear Dudley out of the box. However, Harry noticed Vernon looked straight at him and Rose. He narrowed his eyes. Both twins gulped they knew they were going to get blamed for this.
