Absolutely nothing to see here, just another wrong boy-who-lived story because Albus Dumblewhore is a manipulative old coot. Set in the same AU as Unicorn's Blood, except with the obvious twins and potters living and even more severe neglect and abuse. So ergo, Severus is actually a spy for the Dark Side, and since none of them were actually tried in an unbiased jury, technically all of the 'trials'(I use this word very loosely because the defendants weren't even allowed to speak) are nil and void and all of the Lords that were Death Eaters can technically take up their seats in the Wizengamot. And of course this includes the Lord of Slytherin as well, so expect some court shenanigans!

"The blood of a unicorn will keep you alive, even if you are an inch from death, but at a terrible price. You have slain something pure and defenceless to save yourself, and you will have but a half life, a cursed life, from the moment the blood touches your lips." Harry Potter thought he had seen the last of Dementors after third year. He was wrong. Now he is in Azkaban, with Voldemort on the rise and everyone believing he killed Cedric. And he's stuck with some of the cruelest Death Eaters alive. Sirius was innocent. Harry's innocent. Could they be too?

Harry has a twin, she's very smart, but she grew up seperate from Harry, in a not so great upbringing. She is also not biologically James' daughter, though Harry is, and they're twins. (Odd but it can actually happen, I checked). She to struggles navigating the wizarding world as not only a Muggle-raised Slytherin but also while blind. Will Hogwarts provide an escape from her horrible Muggle life or will it be even harder? and will she find family there? Not the most scintillating summery, but give it a shot. This one will be updated sporadically and not as often as my other story, which is my main focus.
