Changes Part 1
Tobias was floating in the air unable to move. He was freaking out. He wanted to pee on himself and beat Eileen good for her trickery.
"We shall unblock is memories Blood Rune then unblock his core' said Pallas.
"Leave it to me sir, when we are done he shall remember being a wizard' said the goblin.
It looked like a satanic culture room to Tobias. A stone floor had a carved pentagon and funny symbols all around. He was laid on stone slab. He was naked. That demon started chanting in some funny language then a memories hit one after the other:
Tobias was a wee tot when a sweet woman must have been his mother was holding him. She had tears in her eyes and looked nervous. She put him in his crib. His father came home. He heard shouting and arguing. Then a few punches and hitting. After that he heard nothing. He never saw his mum again. Every time he bought her up his father would sneer and say "The bitch left like the no good whore she is." Tobias was three years old when he was floating his toys above his head. His father saw it, and became enraged. He beat him. He was eight when he set the curtains on fire. His father took a belt and lashed his back yelling at him to repent. At ten he ended up on the school roof after out running a bully on the playground. His father called the local priest and they performed an exorcism. At age 11 he received a funny envelope in the mall:
Tobias T. Snape
Iron cottage, Wales
Smallest bedroom to the Left
His father read the letter it was to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. His father sent a rejection letter stating he would not be attending. A man showed up and tried to talk with his father they shouted. In the end, some men in cloaks came bound his magic core and obliviated his memories of magic. He father beat him every time he thought he did something funny. He left home at 18 and never looked back until Eileen insisted on meeting the bastard. He called her funny looking and they never went back to see the cold old man.
Tobias had tears running down his face. He had turned into his father and was once a wizard himself. He abused his wife and son. He was a bad man. It was like a fog had lifted from his mind. He needed to make up his behavior to his family. Then he felt a great burning sensation.
It hurt him greatly, he thought maybe it was his punishment. He must be dying, and he heard chanting. Then after a few minutes it was over. His body was covered in sweat. An old man appeared handing him a robe and instructing him to sit up slowly.
Pallas felt a bit bad but in the end thought the boy would benefit from it.
"Mr. Snape I realize you have been through a traumatic experience. I would like to help you. I have a counselor/mind healer on site. It is in your contract that you see him once a month. I also have a magical side to this factory where I offer my employees a chance to obtain a magical education. I can have you enrolled by next week. Let's get you dressed and we can discuss more in my office" said Pallas.
Tobias was overwhelmed. He was a wizard. He had magic.
He sat in fresh clean clothes and waited for Mr. Peverell to speak.
"Help yourself to some tea and snacks. It is afternoon tea time, you were in the ritual room quite a while. Now, that you have your memories back I am sure you have questions. But let me tell you some things first. As, I am sure you pieced together your father disposed of your mother when he found out she was a witch. He declined your enrolled in Hogwarts a magical school which was his right as your guardian. The practice is to bind the magic and erase all the memories of accidental magic. This was done to you, but that leads to magic phobia, aggression, and many eventually will would have committed suicide. Why am I am helping you? My mother in law was your mother's godmother. She lost track of her after they escaped from concentration camps of World War I. Many muggle borns and other magical folk were experimented on there. She wants to help you. She has paid for tutors to help get you up to speed, and currently making your house no longer be the eye sore of Spinner's End with the help of your wife. They are currently, out to a spa day. You will work on magical side of the factory while taking magical education classes and counseling sessions. You are good with your hands, therefore you shall be in magical metal apprenticeship. This is not debatable. She has also contacted your mother's maternal grandparents they will be coming to see you tonight. You have a vault, which we will visit and we shall go to Diagon Alley to get you a wand. Any questions?" said Pallas.
He knew that is was a lot of information to take in. Tobias cried when he found out the man murdered his mother. Glad the bastard was dead or he would have killed him. He tried to focus on all the information the man gave him. He ate some food off the silver tray suddenly starving.
He asked "So when do we go to this alley for stick or wand?"
"Today" replied Pallas.
He nodded, "So when is Eileen divorcing my sorry hide?"
"She is not divorcing you, but I aspect you better never hit her or your son again' said Pallas.
Tobias croaked "thank you'. Then burst into tears. Pallas got up and hugged the man. He then threw him a robe telling him to put it on. It looked like a dress but he didn't make a fuss. The man explained apparition. Then promptly grabbed his arm. He felt like he was being sucked through a tight tube. He almost threw up. They arrived at a dingy pub and headed to the back.
Pallas started tapping some brick, the wall opened. Tobias was amazed it looked like a whole city was back here. He said "Welcome to Diagon Alley, and the magic world Tobias,"
Tobias did not say much. They went to Gringotts the bank was fancy and made with marble. The ugly little demons were called Goblins Pallas explained how it all worked and what everything was. He went into a vault his own fault. It has piles of gold. A letter was in the center with his name on it from his mother. He took the letter, and a sleeping picture that was his mother. Pallas sunk it for him and he put some gold in the endless bag. Pallas also made him grab some books on history, noble manners, Albanian language, and introduction on British Wizard Society from the vault.
He dragged him to a bookstore to get books on charms, defense against the dark arts, Sacred 28 founding families, potions, magical creatures, and runes etc. The list keep going. After that he had to get a full wardrobe with Bërshen crest. Pallas picked out clothes, shoes, and undergarments for him and Severus. Tobias turned red at that. He grabbed a pricey dress for Eileen. He made him buy fabric so they could sew more clothes. Then he took him to a jewelry store.
"Nothing says I am sorry like jewelry. A diamond to add on her engagement ring and wedding ring. A necklace and some earrings. Although, I am sure my mother-in-law and wife have given her some," said Pallas.
Pallas paid for everything but the jewelry. He made Tobias pay for that. He dragged him to the toy store where he picked out a stuffed snake, some blocks, some books, a ball, journals, art supplies, and subscription to potions weekly for Severus. The man had a shopping problem. Then a ugly little creature popped in and took it to his house. He called them house elves. Then he made him buy two of the ugly things a male named Jobby who gardened, and could be a brewing assistant. Another called Bibby who was female that could cook, clean, and sew. Thank goodness because Eileen was a terrible cook like she had never used a stove before. He forced him into Madam Primpernelle's Beautifying Potions for hygiene products for himself, and Severus.
They went to 2nd hand broom Shop to purchase 3 rooms for the family after he explain to Tobias they flew on them not used them to clean. After buying a pint of dark chocolate from Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour, Plum Sugar Sweet shop for chocolates, candies, and flowers. Every time they made a purchase a little elf would come take it away. They hit the Slug & Jiggers Apothecary for potion ingredients, Potage's Cauldron Shop for cauldron for Severus and Eileen, Eeylops Owl Emporium for an owl, Ollivanders for a wand. Those house elves came in handy. He even got a newer car that had hidden wizard features like expansion charm, anti-theft charm, and wizard wireless radio.
By end of the day Tobias was exhausted. Pallas even made him get cleaned up and his teeth straightened. He drove home and barely recognized the outside. His lawn was cut, trimmed, green with rose bushes. He parked the car grabbed the roses, chocolates, and jewelry to head inside.
