The Phoenix Souls

Reunions and First Meetings

Note: I don't own Harry Potter or Characters or Idea, I do own the extension of the idea from Miaka Kennyuuki

And I do own my currently nameless OC who'll be named at the end of this chapter I hope.

SOMEONE PLEASE BE MY BETA!

and please review after.

Hope you all like child loving Severus, and my reason for him hating to teach kids is because he'll never be able to have kids of his own, and that's why he has distaste for children no matter what.

Outside Hogwarts Grounds

3:10 am, Christmas Day

The man in all black with a child in his arms appeared in a clearing with a crack that awoke all the sleeping birds in the area and caused them to fly off in a rush.

The man, Severus Snape, held the boy, Blaise, close to him and let him down and welcomed him to his apparent new home. And suddenly by magic four children appeared around him and all had tears and astonishment all over their faces.

All were silent and the little red haired Ginny, gripping her kitten, was the first to break the silence by asking, "Will you be my new family?"

Slightly shocked, but still alright he said sure, and declared that the other children could stay too. And he took them up to the castle after he dried Hermione and her teddy bear, he convinced her to ride on the broom with Ginny and Blaise and that it was perfectly safe.

Ginny guided the broom behind him as Snape carried the boy he discovered as Harry Potter, as quickly as he could to his quarters. As they were in transit Severus extracted from the children what happened to them before they found themselves with him.

Once they arrived Severus opened the door and found a crying Draco in front of his fireplace holding his bear, Andie to his chest.

Upon Severus opening the door Draco leap at him crying,

"Sev'uuuuuuuuuuuus! Father and Mother was taken by the Aurors but I don't want them to come back. They make me feel unhappy 'cause they always want me to hurt things like Andie!"

"Calm, down, you're safe here," Severus spoke soothingly to his godson while stroking his back to calm him down, "It'll be alright, I'll adopt you and every one else and we'll live here at Hogwarts where no one will ever hurt you, or any of you beautiful children, because I'll always protect you." He stood up and smiled and quickly transfigured some objects to be cloaks for them. "Come on now, I'm telling the Headmaster you're going to stay with me so he can help me making rooms for you all down here," he broke the sentence to summon his broom and hand it to Draco, "here, can you fly with some one with you because it's a long way to his office."

Draco nodded and invited Hermione to ride with him as Ginny, Blaise and Aurelia rode on the other broom, and Severus carried the passed out Harry to the head masters office.

When the rag tag group reached the stone gargoyle Severus started rattling off candy names he knew.

Hermione leaned to Draco's ear and asked him questions, "What is he doing that for and what are those things he's saying?"

Draco, never realizing not everyone knows what he knows, was shocked but still replied. "Those are wizarding candy names, and it's to gain access to the headmaster's office."

"So since you know that are you a wizard?"

"Yep, so is Blaise, and Ginny, and you and everyone else are probably too."

"I'll have you know that girls are not wizards, they are witches." Ginny said in a huff.

"She got you there," Blaise chimed in.

Suddenly Severus whooped in excitement, "We're in!" as the gargoyle started to turn and reveal the steps. Severus led them up the steps to the office and to say Dumbledore was surprised was an understatement.

"Severus, might I inquire as to why you are holding Harry Potter, and Draco Malfoy and Miss Weasley are here with you?" Dumbledore's eye had taken on the annoying twinkle as he asked the question, and it pissed Severus off.

"They all came to me last night, except for Mister Zabini, I rescued him."

"Ah, so tell me, why are you in my office?"

"These children have conveyed to me that their homes have been taken from them or destroyed and some how they all now have no longer living parents or family members that they would feel safe with so I'm here to tell you I'll need some help making new rooms for them in my Quarters, so that they can live with me; after I adopt them of course."

With this the children all cheered, except for Harry who was unconscious.

"Well they seem to like the idea, so I'll go deal with the papers so that all you'll need to do is to sign them once they're drawn up. So I'll head down to the ministry after Christmas and in the mean time let's get these children to bed and we'll get some gifts prepared for them too in the morning. For now though Severus, I'd just enlarge the bed."

"Alright, but I'd like Harry to see Poppy, he's malnourished."

"I'll let her know, and let's hear their names."

"Alright, you lot, introduce yourselves."

The little girl with long platinum blonde hair stepped forward and introduced herself as Aurelia Anui.

The boy in the Italian clothes introduced himself as Blaise Zabini.

Ginny introduced herself as Ginevra Weasley, and the girl with long bushy hair introduced herself as Hermione Jane Granger.

Draco revealed himself officially to all of them to be Draco Malfoy, and Harry didn't introduce himself as he was still unconscious, so Severus did it for him.

"Splendid! Such good names! I can't wait for them to meet the students!"

Just then Severus groaned, "I forgot about them! When do they come back again? January third, right?"

"Yes."

"Augh!" Severus cried in anguish. "I thought I was forgetting about something. What will I do with them during classes?"

"We could let them sit in on first year classes?" Dumbledore suggested.

Severus paused for a moment to consider this. He nodded in approval. "Since that's settled let's get these kids off to bed."

And with that they all followed Severus down, except Harry who had to be carried as he was unconscious, to his chambers where they all slept on his enlarged bed. So they all could wake up for a proper Christmas morning.
