The teachers

Spring break always left Hogwarts nearly empty, simply because even the most devoted students needed the break. Stress was high and the only way to cure it was the two weeks of relaxation the school offered them.

This particular year the total amount of students staying over the holidays was a little higher than expected. The teachers spent a lot of time Guessing as to what the cause of this increase in students had been caused by no one knew anything, but it didn't matter all that mattered was that thanks to this slight change Dumbledore was asking one more teacher to stay behind. So they were in the staff room arguing.

"I can't stay my little girl is in a choir concert at her muggle school. I promised her I'd be there!"

" And you think I can I haven't gone home all..."

"Big deal I need to take care of…"

"But my neighbor is sick…"

"So my MOTHER has been begging me to come home sense Christmas and she…"

"SILENCE" the group instantly did as told. "Fillius I know you need to get home as do you Pomona and Charity you must send me pictures of the concert and yes Adam1 I know your neighbor needs help that is why Severus will be the one to…"

"WHAT!" Snape was livid "I need to go home I stay for Christmas every year, isn't that enough?"

"Severus everyone else has a perfectly good reason for not staying , except for you, and besides it's mostly your Snakes that are staying, just like every other year."

"You would use that against me Albus I simply cannot stay and you know as well I that none of my Snakes have ever begrudged me this one holiday and know how to contact me should there be a problem."

Sprout voiced the one thing all of Snape's Co-workers had wondered "why can't you stay we all made are points , but you have not."

Snape looked as though he was in a great amount of pain "I do not think I can say."

Dumbledore gave him a look and spoke. "Then surely it must not be that urgent Severus if you cannot speak of it."

"You simply would not like to know."

"I highly doubt that, I see no reason why I or our colleagues would like to deny ourselves any knowledge."

Snape sighed resignedly. "Fine if you must know for some reason unbeknownst to me my parents fall in to a great depression this time every year and My brother, Sister and I must make sure they care for themselves."

This time Flitwick was the first to react. "You have a brother and sister."

"yes as a matter of fact I believe you taught them both, or have you forgotten Amy Prince and her much younger brother Maximus."

"But they were in Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, looked nothing like you, and didn't even share your last name!"

"And Maximus only just graduated and I know for a fact you were bitter enemies till the end!"

"A front to keep the secret that we were related, in case you did not know my Father is good at making enemies, ones that would hurt his children. Both my elder sister and younger brother had the good fortune to favor my mother and so took her last name for safeties sake. I however was not so fortunate and therefore kept my Father's last name throughout school."

"But I have heard nothing about either Amy or Max changing their names or any relation to you for that matter."

"There is simply no point in announcing something is nobody's business. Albus Surely even you can see that."

Dumbledore smiled at him "I see no reason that your siblings cannot handle things on their own you will stay Severus. Now we all have places to be so I shall see you all at breakfast tomorrow."

Severus Snape Stormed out of the room muttering to himself about senile Headmasters. The other teachers left to go about their own business.

Dumbledore spent the walk to his office thinking. He knew that if what Severus said was true, which it most certainly was, then Amy and Maximus would be at the school to give him a piece of their minds.

He was not bothered about what they said to him, but rather what they would do if they saw the boy. The two were far too observant for their own good. No he would arrange for the boy to be sick. Yes a little something in his food on Sunday ought to do the trick. He was starting to look far too healthy…

I don't know Vectors name or gender so HE is now named Adam
