Harry Potter meets two Snapes in the grass
AN: There has been some concern about Sirius/Regulus’ behaviour in the last chapter. Fear not my chickadees, for I have not turned the erstwhile hero into a baddy. It’s like Kadrin said, he’s just grumpy and snape-ish when he gets up in the morning. Though how nice of a guy he can be when his idea of a practical joke is to set a werewolf on someone is a mystery to me! Things are going to kind of bounce about a bit, with more snapshots of the years up until about fifth year. If anyone has any requests of parts of the books that they’d like to see with a Snape Twin twist hit that review button and let me know.
Now, on with the story.
Chapter 5: Harry Potter meets two Snapes in the Grass
Harry had been quite excited when Hagrid had told him they were going to get his school things. Who wouldn’t be, when they were told they were going to part of the magical world to buy supplies for their magic school. MAGIC school. MAGIC!
He was becoming less so however as he came face to face with the entrance to this magic world. The Leaky Cauldron. A pub! A shabby pub, if one was being kind. A grotty pub, if one was being honest.
“This way ‘arry.” Hagrid boomed jovially. “Jus’ ‘ave ter pick up the pr’fessors kids an’ we can get yer stuff.”
“The professor’s kids?” Harry asked.
“Oh, didn’t I tell yer? Pr’fessor Snape’s two ‘re startin’ firs’ year as well, so they’re comin’ with us.” And this apparently being all Harry needed to know Hagrid proceeded to push through the door. Harry blinked in the gloom as he followed. It really didn’t look any better inside than out.
He scampered after Hagrid who was making his way across the room in huge strides. He peered round his new friend to look curiously at the two people at the table they were approaching.
They were both tall and skinny with pale skin, black hair and long noses. So alike they could only be twins. The boy wore baggy and fashionably torn jeans with a blue shirt advertising something called “weird Sisters”. His short hair was spiked up and he wore a large studded collar round his neck. The girl was all in black. Jeans, boots and t-shirt. She wore her hair long, scraped back into a braid that hung over one shoulder. Glittery red letters on her shirt claiming ‘I heart Darth Vader’. They were sitting at the table with a paper bag between them. Alternating taking a grape from within, and then throwing it across the table into the other’s mouth.
They turned simultaneously when Hagrid and Harry reached the table identical smirks appeared as Harry was subjected to a thorough appraisal from black and dark grey eyes. Not a little bit unnerving.
“Righ’ then!” Hagrid boomed once more. “Kadrin an’ Regulus Snape. This here is ‘arry [potter. ‘E’s comin’ to Hogwarts this year as well.”
“We were aware.” The girl drawled. “Shall we get started on the shopping Mister Hagrid?”
“Righ’ you are Kadrin follow me ‘arry. You stick wi’ these two, they’re an all righ’ pair.”
“I think we’ve just been damned with faint praised little sister.” The boy snarked as the pair stood. Both of them taller than Harry thought any 11/12 year old had the right to be.
“In deed big brother. Harry looks a bit nervous though doesn’t he?”
“Don’t worry kid.” Regulus growled. “We’ve had all our shots!
Harry wasn’t sure how to respond to this so he contented himself with trying to take in as much as he could of this new world. The street he now found himself in was bustling with all sorts of strange looking people. Some Harry wasn’t even sure were completely human. He realised suddenly that he was drawing attention again. Men and women like paused to stare and then turning to whisper to their friends.
“It is him!”£
“The-boy-who-lived!”
Harry moved closer to Hagrid, trying to hide behind the half-giant’s bulk. Kadrin and Regulus stepped forward to walk alongside Harry.
“What’s this?” Regulus said in mock astonishment. “The boy-who-is-overly-hyphenated not enjoying the adulation of those who surround him?”
“Not quite what we expected, is it Lus?” Kadrin returned.
“No indeed Rin. Perhaps we should do our companion a favour and draw some attention away?”
“Why not?” Kadrin smirked at her brother before turning to face Harry. “Watch us work, scruffy.”
And with that the pair strode ahead. The long black coats they had donned on leaving the warmth of the pub billowing behind them impressively. They seemed to have grown taller and somehow, darker. Something dangerous swimming behind eyes that a moment before had been full of mischief.
“Snapes!” was heard muttered like a curse from various sources and Harry was relieved to find the attention now taken from him and focused on the twins. Though puzzled by the response.
“’ere we are!” Hagrid announced eventually. “Gringotts!”
“The bank.” Regulus explained to Harry not unkindly.
After facing down the surly goblins inside. An experience Harry was in no rush to repeat. The twins matching them glare for glare. They were led to a cart, like one Harry had seen when he’d done a project on old fashioned mining at school.
The four, plus goblin, clambered inside. Hagrid and Griphook to the front and the three children in the back. Harry sandwiched between the twins. They both grinned at him with a look that could only be described as a strange kind of mayhem in their eyes.
“Fasten your seatbelts everybody, its gonna be a BUMPY ride!” Regulus announced grinning madly.
“Everybody put your hands in the air!” Kadrin cried, suiting action to word as the cart shot forward with surprising speed. And Harry Potter and his two maybe-friends laughed, hooted and hollered all the way to the vaults.
AN2: So what do you think? The sorting comes next but I’m not sure what to do after that. Plus I’ve got re-sits soon so updates will probably be more sporadic.
Now, on with the story.
