Chapter 5: Chapter 5


As you all know, the four founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry are as followed, Godric Gryffindor, Salazar Slytherin, Helga Hufflepuff, and Rowena Ravenclaw, but what if history was wrong?

Warnings: Evil Albus/Abused Harry but no actual abuse scenes. Severus is with Lily Potter. Harry is with one of my OC. Time Travel Fic.

"Joul. Joul? Joul? Wake up Joul! Joul please! JOUL!" Joul woke with a start and looked around him. He was in a meadow in the forest next to Hogwarts. He sat up and grit his teeth together and held his side in pain. Vicky was kneeling by him and helped him stand. He looked awful Joul noted, but he guessed that he didn't look much better. They supported each other as they walked. They got to the edge of the forest, saw both their parents, knew they were going to be okay, and collapsed holding each other.

"Joul, its time to wake up." A soft voice said. Joul opened his eyes and saw his mother sitting in a chair close to the bed with his father standing close to her. He gasped, his eyes wide.

"Mother! We tried to stop him! He was going to leave and hurt those Muggles! We tried to stop him but he sent curses at us! He looked evil! Mother." Joul couldn't help the tears that were falling down his face and onto the pillows.

"I know son. I know. Adam is dead now. He didn't make it out of the forest but you and Vicky did, we are so proud of you sweetie." Lilya said to her son and smiled sadly at him.

"Vick! Mother please tell me that Vick is alright!"

"I am fine." Vicky, short for Victor said leaning down and kissing his mate of the lips softly. They were only ten, but they knew they were mates, this was one of the only times that Victor ever got to kiss his beloved because it was very improper to to do so. "You were foolish Joul Harry Alex Ithica Ather Gryffindor-Slytherin!" Victor told his future lover glaring slightly at him. He ha been the one to jump in front of that cutting curse to save Victor

"I was not! I did it to save you! Cant you be happy that I saved you!" Joul yelled at his future husband.

"I am happy that you defended me, but if we would have stayed there you would have died and- and I didn't want that to happen." He whispered the last part looking away. Joul moved over on the bed to make room for his mate and when he sat down Joul hugged him curling up in the older ones lap.

"I love you Victor Anthony Black Ravenclaw." Joul whispered.

"As so I Joul Harry Alex Ithica Ather Gryffindor-Slytherin." He whispered back. The two ten year olds glowed a mixture of red, gold, black, green, and sliver before they were back to normal and Joul was fully healed. Little did they know, that on that very day they made a pledge to always love each other, no matter what time line or age. They would always find each other.


Severus smiled as he remember that day. Victor should know by now that Harry Potter died and Joul Harry Alex Ithica Ather Gryffindor-Slytherin was awoken. Victor was an Snake Animagus with Joul his Snake mate.

He knew Victor was still alive and still the same age of when he saw him last time. Victor was a Magical snake. He was born a snake but earned the ability to be human by a person by the name of Athina. With the abilities that he earned, choosing when and when not to age was one of them. Victor was Jouls familiar and mate all in one. So in either form he would know when Joul was going to return. No one knows who or what Athina is, but she has the powers of the Gods, but everyone knows that she isn't because Gods can't appear on the things created by Gods. Mother Earth is a god and she named the planet after her.

Severus sighed softly. He had been working on the Memory Potion all last night and didn't even notice it was dawn until the light shone brightly into the potions lab. It was located on the second floor and was one of the first rooms to get sunlight in the morning. It had to be just a little before six o'clock. Severus did a cleaning spell on himself and went into the kitchen. Not soon after Harry walked into the room followed by Muffy. Severus smiled. Muffy seemed to like Harry immensely. Even if she was an Elfling when she was brought to the future, she could have remember Joul. After all House Elfs could live for 1000 years if the master wishes it. She was only about 19 years old and Severus wanted to keep the House elf for as long as she wanted to live.

"Please sit." Severus said standing when Harry entered. He looked sleepy but didn't seem to have had any nightmares. Harry complied and rubbed at his eyes putting his glasses on.

"What would you like Muffy to make Master Severus for breakfast." Muffy asked Severus walking over to him.

"Surprise me." Severus said yawning. He took out a Pepperup Potion and drank it, instantly feeling much better. Severus frowned slightly noticing Harry looking at the table. " Good morning Harry." Severus said. He got worried when he didn't answer. He stood up and walked the few steps it would take to get to him.

"Joul, whats the matter?" Severus asked not realizing that he had slipped.

"Nothing Severus. I am sorry. I didn't mean to have worried you." Harry said shakily moving away from him slightly. Severus took a step back and frowned slightly. "Um... Severus. I was wondering... if... if I could go outside." Harry asked closing his eyes and then frowned opening them remembering that Severus would never hit him. He knew that the man was telling the truth. Severus smiled softly.

"I think that that could be arranged." Severus nodded seeing the slight happiness that went over the dull in his child's eyes. When Severus was done with his breakfast He lead Harry outside and sat on the deck watching the 15 year old walking along the gardens edge. Every once in a while he would bend down and smell the flowers.

"Hello." something in the garden said. Harry jumped slightly and looked around. He then looked back at the flowers.

"Hello... I.. I am Harry Potter. Its nice to meet you." Harry said quietly.

"Hello Harry Potter. I am Tori." The snake said barely becoming visible. Harry smiled his eyes brightening for the first time in years.

"Tori? How did you get here? I thought I would never see you again!" He said kneeling down and picking up the snake petting her head. She slithered up his arm and hissed licking his cheek.

"Yes, well nor did I, but I heard that Harry Potter was dead. I had to see if it was true. I couldn't let my little Hatchling be dead without proof. I see that you are living with a Wizard now. I am very glad. He smells of you. He will be a good Nest Father for you. Why does the world believe that Harry Potter is dead? You dont smell of Harry Potter, you smell half of Harry Potter and half that Wizard. But I suppose it is just because you live with him now. He is being a good Nest Father yes? Much better then those Muggles you were with. He hasn't harmed you in any way has he?"

"Oh no Mama'. He is a very good Nest father indeed. He has helped me very much and Harry Potter did die. But I am back to live now." Harry explained.

"Yes. You smell dead, but it wasn't for long so you cant be classified as the living dead. I am happy that my Hatchling was able to have a second chance at this life. Tell your Nest Father that I approve of him and he had better take care of my little Hatchling or he will have to answer to me." Tori said and slid off of Harry's arm after licking him again. She soon disappeared and was soon our of the wards of the house.

Harry walked back up to the house and sighed softly. What would Severus think when he found out that he had talked to the snake.

" Um... Severus. I need to tell you something." Harry said softly walking up to him.

"What is it?" Severus asked.

"I talked to a snake... am I in trouble."

" Yes you are. What did it want." Severus asked nervously.

"You see. Tori use to be my pet Snake when I was little. She would keep me company when I was... outside going my chores and when Uncle... found out about her. I thought he killed her. I never saw her again. She is a Magical snake and made a bond with me. Not like a Familiar or anything because she said that I already had one and that I would get to see him again when I was older, anyway, she wanted to know if I was really dead, she told me that I dont smell like Harry Potter anymore. I smell half of Harry Potter and half you. But she said it must be because I live you you now. She said... she said that she approves of you being my Nest Father. and if you hurt me then you will have to answer to her..." Harry said leaving out a few parts.

"I see. Well I am glad that you had a friend in that horrible place, but you are not allowed to talk to any snake without my say so. Come here." Severus commanded. " Turn." He said. Harry complied and Severus smacked him across the bum two times. Harry, being trained to do nothing, didn't flinch nor yelp out in pain, and that worried Severus horribly.

"What did you do wrong?" Severus asked.

"Talked to a snake without your permission."

"And why is that a bad thing?"

"Because Voldemort can speak to snakes and if he finds out I am alive then I will not be safe any longer."

"Correct." Severus said smacking Harry two more times before he turned the boy around, stood up, and hugged him. "I got no joy in smacking your bottom Harry. It hurt me to have do to that, but it had to be done. I hope you will obey me and not talk to snakes without my permission." Severus said. Harry nodded.

" Yes Severus." Harry said flinching slightly. Severus let the teen go. He knew he shouldn't have hugged Harry so soon, but he knew if it didnt then things might not ever get better. Normally it was strongly recommended to not even touch the person that was physically abused, but Snape had to. He couldn't just stand there. All of his Snakes needed a hug, even when they at first flinched away from him. He had to punish his son for something that he forgot to tell him not to do and that hurt him more then the Cruciatus Curse.

Harry was laying on the grass when his head exploded in pain. He screamed out loud and clutched his head. He was pulled into Voldemorts mind.

"I was suppose to be the one to kill him! Me! Who killed the boy?" Voldemort screamed and killed a few of the Death Eaters.

"T-The Muggle M-My Lord." Someone answered. He fell to the ground dead.

"I will kill you all if you don't bring back all the Muggles he knows!" Voldemort said and the Death Eaters Mark was sent into the sky.

Harry lay in the grass tear falling down his face. His hand fell limp beside his head and he just stared at the cloudy sky not even realizing that Severus had picked him up and was taking him inside. Harry's whole body felt heave, the sounds muffled, everything was blurry. He was soon enveloped in darkness.


"Dont worry Joul." said Victor as he was on a train. "I will be with you soon." he said and fell asleep thinking about his beloved Mate and the pain he had just had in his head.


Severus lay his son on the boys bed tucking him in. It had frightened him when the ear splitting scream sounded outside. Severus was of course outside, but he was reading a potions book and wasn't watching Harry ever second. He had paled when he saw his son gripping his head. He lifted the boys hair and saw that the scar was gone, but how could he still get into Voldemort's mind? Severus made a few viles appear and set them by Harry's bed. He left a note and walked out of the room.

Dear Harry,

I am sorry to say that I have left Prince Manor and have gone to Hogwarts. If you need anything at all just ask Muffy. In the purple vile you will find a dreamless sleep potion, red the strengthening potion, blue the nourishment potion, and in the clear with the green liquid is a memory potion. It will help you to recall some important memories that I know you will need. Dont take this one until I have returned. Have Muffy watch you take you Potions. I have already told her to keep an eye out for you. When you awake Muffy will take you to the Library where I want you to start on your homework. It doesnt matter what one you would like to start on first, but just know that when I return I shall be looking at your progress for the day.

P.S Mind your manners and listen to Muffy.

Sincerely Professor Severus Snape Potions Master.

P.P.S The Password for entry into the Library is Half Blood Prince

Harry looked over at the potions on his nightstand after he had read the note and nodded slightly. Muffy appeared and smiled slightly at Harry.

"Hello Muffy." Harry said before he took all of the potions remembering not to take the green one.

"Hello Young Harry. Shall we go?" Harry nodded and followed the Elf out noticing that all of his school things were no where to be seen in his room. "They must be in the Library." He thought to himself.


"Mother." Severus said walking into the quarters at Hogwarts. He looked over at the portrait of his mother and she looked worriedly back at him. "He can still get into the Dark Lords mind."

"Don't be rash Severus. In time it will go away, it will stop when he knows and believes that he truly is Joul and not Harry Potter. That's why the link is still there, even without the scar. Where is Joul anyway?"

"He isnt Joul mother. He is Harry Potter. Weather he takes his original name is up to him. If he wants to accept his past that is also up to him. We can not tell him what to believe and what not to."

"Once he sees his memories then he will accept who he is. I know Joul."

"And I don't Mother? He is my child for gods sake! MY CHILD MOTHER! Because of his Gryffindor in him he wanted to come to the future and help us capture Tom. Because of his Slytherin he knew he would get his way by offering to loose his memories in exchange for coming here! My child has been beaten, died, brought back to live and... and... he cant even eat solid food mother. His rooms decided what was best for him because it knew that he would have just left it the way it was, thinking that I would get angry at him for changing anything, even after I let Muffy know to tell him that he could do it in any way they he wanted. My child... Mine and Lilya's child doesn't know love or compassion He knows hatred and pain. He uses his Gryffindor more then his Slytherin, his friends. Oh I will kill his so called friends. At least THEY portended to like him! Mother did you know that his so called friends are worse then the Old Man and that's saying something!" his magic flared and flicked out around him in many tiny ribbons. " My child... my child is broken." Severus fell to his knees tears falling from his eyes.

"Severus, I know that it will be hard. Believe me I do. You have to remain strong for your child, when you return give him one memory at a time. For each day give him one or two memories and he will soon realize who he is. Now stop your crying. Slytherins don't cry unless they have lost a family member. The last time that I checked Joul isn't gone. He is just locked away, just waiting to get out." Severus stood, wiped his eyes, bowed to his mother, and left.

He walked to the Library and found the door open. He took out his wand and slowly walked into the room. He didn't see Harry sitting at the tables so he started to walk down the middle of the aisles until he reached the bottom. Panic settled in and he ran from the room. "Accio Harry Potter!" nothing happened. " Accio Joul Harry Alex Ithica Ather Gryffindor-Slytherin!" He felt his magic respond. Within a minute Harry slammed into Severus, who held onto his son as he was knocked to the ground. "Harry James Potter what the hell were you thinking leaving the Library? You scared me half to death and that certainly is not a good thing." Severus said sitting up and letting Harry go. Harry quickly stood up shaking slightly.

"I-I am so-sorry S-Sir. M-Muffy wa-was wi-with me." Harry stuttered taking a few steps away from him. Severus stood up and dusted off his robes.

"Well I am glad that Muffy was with you. I was just frightened that something happened to you. I will let Muffy know that next time she needs permission from me to move you from room to room when I am not here. What on earth were you doing?" Severus asked the dusty Harry Potter in front of him.

"Well, Muffy to-took me to the attic where i-it was dusty s-sir-"

"Severus. It is Severus Harry. Never Sir. And dont be frightened. You are not going to be getting punished for my mistake so clam yourself. Would you like a Calming Potion?" Severus asked and nodded for him to continue after he told him that he didn't need one.

"I found a few portraits and they started to talk to me."

"What did they ask you?"

"They wanted to know if I was a Prince. I told them no, but I knew it would be best to say that I was going to be because I am your charge. I used my manners when I spoke to them and they believed me."

"While you did a very good thing by lying I dont want it to become a habit of yours. Understood? Have you taken your potions like I have instructed?"

"Yes Severus."

"Good. Now Accio Memory Potion. There is something that I want you to see." Severus said leading Harry into his office that was on the fourth and top floor of the Manor.

Harry sat in the chair by the desk not even daring to turn around until he was told to. He was in Snapes office and thought that he was in very big trouble.

"No. Severus would have told me if I was in trouble. So why does it feel like this?" Harry thought to himself.

"Come here child." Severus said quietly. Harry Stood up and walked to the Pensive that Severus was standing next to.
