Letter from the Past

Severus Snape, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry's Potions Professor, was currently sitting in a black leather chair in the sitting room of his chambers reading a Potions book. He had spent his summers alone at Hogwarts for the past nine years as he had no one to go home to anymore. He wasn't a bitter man; he had been in a loving relationship before. He was the soul mate of two other Wizards, one was dead, and the other was in jail for a crime that he didn't commit.

He was interrupted from his reading by a tap on his window; he got up out of his chair after marking his place in his book and let the owl into his quarters. After relieving the owl of the letter attached to its leg, the bird flew back out the open window, leaving Severus to wonder who sent the letter. He sat back down in his chair and opened the envelope, inside was a letter from the last person he thought he would receive one from.

Sev & Siri,

If you two are reading this than I am most likely dead, or sitting beside the both of you having a good laugh. If it's the latter than I'm sorry I left you both. I know you both thought that I betrayed you by marrying Lily, but I didn't. We're soul mates and it's not possible to betray each other without a considerable amount of pain. Anyway, the truth is that Lily and I faked the marriage because I was pregnant and if Voldemort found out than he would try to track down the other father and Sev's position as spy would be compromised. And Siri would be no better off, considering you're both the father.

You're probably wondering how that is possible. Well, I was pregnant with twins and they both have different fathers. Harry was the eldest by ten minutes and he's your son Sev. He has your mother's eyes from what I've seen of him without the glamour on and he has my nose, so don't worry love. Siri…how do I say this? Nathaniel was the youngest and I only got to see him for about ten minutes after he was born, I was only allowed to name him before he was taken from me. Albus said that it was for the best, but I knew that it was him being manipulative again. Anything, to get his way. No matter who got hurt.

Albus thought that Harry was the one in that stupid prophecy, and so, I was to get rid of Nathaniel. I don't know where he is, but I do know that Albus put him in a Muggle orphanage. That way no one would know who he is, and he wouldn't know why he can do things the other kids can't. I was so angry with him, I mean, where is the sense in taking away one of my sons. Harry's probably not even the one that the prophecy is talking about. I just want you both to promise me that you'll get our boys' away from where ever they are and raise them, and let them know that I love them both.

Siri, if you're blaming yourself for my death…don't. I agreed to make Peter the Secret Keeper instead of you. If I'm dead because he betrayed me, than don't blame yourself. I love you and I don't want you spending the rest of your life thinking that you killed me. And Sev, try to lighten up. Harry needs you, and I know Siri does too, as well as Nathaniel. I guess I should stop writing now, Harry wants lunch and Lily's asleep. I swear this kid could eat a horse if he was given a chance.

Love you both,

Jamie…

To say that Severus was shocked was a gross understatement. He needed to get back his sons and Sirius. But first, he had a bone to pick with a certain Headmaster.

He folded the letter back up and then headed out of his rooms; he walked through the school towards Albus Dumbledore's office. He was not a very happy man at the moment, and if the students were still here, than they would see just how scary their Potions Professor could really be.

Upon arriving at the gargoyle that guarded the headmaster's office, Severus said the password which was, as usual, a sweet and then was permitted entrance. He walked up the spiraling staircase after the gargoyle leapt aside, and then knocked on the door waiting for a reply.

"Come in," came the reply from within.

Now Albus Dumbledore was a kind man, but when he wanted his way, he got it, no matter who got hurt in the process. During the war with Voldemort, he was determined to do anything to bring him down.

"Ah, Severus. To what do I owe the pleasure?" Albus asked the Potion Master when he entered the office.

Severus just handed the letter over to Albus and then took a seat; he sat there and waited for an explanation.

"Believe me Severus when I say that it was for the best," Albus said once he finished reading the letter that James Potter sent his lover.

"For the best? You took away my sons and both my soul mates, and you say it was for the best."

"I want them back, Albus. I know I can't get James back, but I can get Harry, Nathaniel and Sirius back." Severus said as he scowled at the man in front of him.

Albus knew when he had lost, and so he agreed to get Sirius out of Azkaban. He also told Severus where Nathaniel and Harry were put. He knew that if he didn't do these things, than he would be loosing the best Potions Master Hogwarts has ever had. So it was with two hours and six owls later that Severus left Dumbledore's office to head for Azkaban to get his remaining soul mate.
