Many people thought that Abigail Sciuto was just an over the top, over caffeinated, eccentric, gothic forensic scientist for NCIS in Washington D.C, but she knew deep down that she is so much more than that. Abby is a witch. But she is not the only one that was keeping secrets at NCIS.
Disclaimer – I do not own Harry Potter or NCIS. I, like many others, dream that I do, but that's just what they are dreams. And anyway if anyone wanted to sue me all I don't have much to give them.
A/N – Okay, sorry if anyone has been annoyed about the wait, but in the last three weeks I have had visits from friends who I haven't seen in months, my half-yearly exams (which I am pretty sure I failed) and I have been doing this massive assignment which is like worth 40% of my final Society and Culture mark. But I promise that I will not abandon this (also you can blame one of my friends who I had a deal with, that if she didn't review this story I would wait until the end of the holidays to even start writing this, and guess what, she didn't review. But hey I still wrote tis rather quick) Ok I am so sorry to tell you guys but this will be the second last chapter, the next one will be an epilogue. Anyway, what do you guys think of a Bones/Harry Potter crossover, or a Batman/Harry Potter crossover, I would like you opinion cause I have ideas for both but I want to know which I should do first, and I value all of your opinions. So with that out of the way, on with this chapter!
Chapter 4
It was raining at the Navy Yard when a black car pulled up to the entrance of the NCIS building, now the man that got out of the car had been quite the topic of discussion in the building, not that he knew it. As he walked up to the security guard in the entrance, he began to let his fears take over his thoughts, 'What if they know my secret? I am sure that even the American Federal agency heads knew about magic? What if they found out I am in the Marines on false papers?'
"Excuse me sir, but I need to see some ID, and know why you are here." The voice of the security guard bought him out of his fearful thoughts.
"Sorry, lost in thought. My name is Severus Bennett Dumbledore, I received a letter to come to the NCIS building on the Navy Yard in D.C about a week ago. I am here to see a man named Special Agent…" but before Severus could finish he was interrupted.
"Leroy Jethro Gibbs."
When Severus turned around he saw a man with salt-and-pepper hair and piercing blue eyes that reminded him of Albus.
"Yes. Now am I to think that either you are the man I have to see, or are you going to take me to him?"
Gibbs looked at this man, dressed in his Marine uniform, with his short black hair. Now many people believe that Gibbs eyesight was bad, but to him this man looked nothing like the man in the picture that Abby had shown him other than his eyes, which had that same look, lack the happiness.
"I am Special Agent Gibbs, let him through Chris. He is here to have his Marine records updated, I will take him from here."
The security guard, Chris, had only been on this job for about two months, but he knew not to mess with Gibbs, so he let them past. He learnt that lesson on day one when he was inducted and was given his security clearance, Director Sheppard had warned him and all the new security guards about what might happen if he gets pissed off.
"Follow me Marine, I am going to take you to the conference room so we can update your files. Unfortunately due to a computer error we have to completely re-put all your information in to the system. One of my agents and I will take your information and then you will be sent to the Forensic Scientist to have your fingerprints taken as well as your DNA."
"Yes sir."
The rest of the journey was quiet, but Severus got a feeling this man was holding back strong emotions from him, and he didn't think they were happiness. To Severus this man, who he hadn't met until today, seemed extremely pissed off with him.
As they entered the 'conference' room, Severus realised that not only was it dark but there was no other agent with them. Completely going against normally protocol, Gibbs put Severus on the side of the table where he normally sat.
"I hate to be rude Special Agent Gibbs, but this doesn't seem like a conference room to me. It seems like an interrogation room."
"Ahh, yes. Sorry about that, but our other conference rooms are being used, we are really busy today, so the interrogation rooms have two purposes today. So let's begin to get this information down so you can go home." The way Gibbs said the word home scared him, Severus had this bad feeling in his stomach like nothing good would come of this meeting, he had, had this feeling before, like when Dumbledore had told him that he was dying and that he had to kill him.
"Ok sir. I would like that, I have a project at home I would like to finish before a friend of mines birthday."
"Good, now full name please?"
"Severus Bennett Dumbledore"
"Odd last name, haven't heard anything like it before, next place of birth?"
"Washington D.C"
That's when a person hidden in the dark of the corner coughed. Alerting Gibbs to the next part of the plan.
"Ah, that's my other 'colleague' who wants to ask you some questions, she wouldn't let me have all the fun. Now I will ask you not to turn around and look at this person, their orders, not mine. Goodbye Severus."
With that Gibbs left the interrogation room, inside was an extremely worried Severus. Any person that could order this man around must have a powerful hold over him Severus thought
"So Marine," the voice in the dark started, "has your last name always been Dumbledore, or have your changed it?" To Severus this voice stirred memories in his brain, and he didn't know what these memories were, but he knew they weren't from his days in the Marines, he didn't want to assume that this person was from the magical world, but just in case he made sure the shields around his mind were firm and could withstand invasion.
"No it has always been Dumbledore." Severus said worried, hoping that this person didn't know his secret.
"Were you really born in the US, in Washington D.C?"
"Yes"
"Have you ever let your friends believe that you had betrayed them for the other side?"
The worry that Severus had felt was now full blown fear, but he tried to keep his normal emotionless mask up so he couldn't betray himself. "No"
After many more questions that continued for at least an hour, the voice finally thought it was time to get to the questions that she really wanted answers to.
"Have you ever heard of someone that was referred to as Snape?"
Severus was now sweating under his stress and fears "No I haven't but I really don't see the relevance that question had."
"Leave the relevance to me. Now have you ever heard of someone named Tom Riddle?"
"No" Severus' voice was starting to break under the pressure that his earlier thoughts had been confirmed. Someone from the magical world had found him.
"Have you ever heard of Albus Percival Wulfic Brian Dumbledore?"
"No"
"Have you ever broken another person's heart by letting them believe you were dead?"
"I have no idea of the relevance of these questions, but if you want the truthful answer. Yes!" with this Severus put his head on the table and started crying, he didn't want to think of the love of his life that he had left when he convince the wizarding world that Severus Snape was dead.
Feeling that she had tortured him enough the voice in the dark came to the front of the table and looked at the broken man in front of her. She got out her wand and removed the glamour charms he had put on himself.
"Was this person's name Abigail Scuito, niece of Albus Dumbledore and Minerva McGonagall and the love of your life?"
Already feeling the glamour be taken of, Severus lifted his head and looked at the woman in front of him. There right in front of him was the woman he had loved forever and still loved to this day, and boy did she look pissed. He loved her when she was angry at someone, he found it amazing how passionate she was. He just didn't like it when she was angry at him.
"Abby?"
"Yes Severus. Well are you just going to sit there and stare at me?"
Severus just continued to stare at the love of his life. He had no idea how she had found him but he was so happy she did. The one thing that he regretted the most about hiding after he faked his death was the fact that he had to leave Abby. He knew she was in America but he didn't know where, or that she worked for the government agency that was related to the Marine Corps.
"Abby how did you find me?"
Behind the glass was not only the whole team and the director, but Tonks as well.
"Well this just got interesting. She isn't armed is she, I took her wand off her, but did you make sure she doesn't have a gun?" Tonks said seriously, which started to scare the rest of the team.
"Why would she take a gun in there. I thought she loved this guy?" Tony asked, worry laced in his voice. Everyone knew what Abby was like when she was mad.
"Cause I am pretty sure she is going to kill Sev."
Back in the interrogation room Abby just stared at Sev with a shocked look on her face, but after her brain caught up with what he said it went to extremely pissed.
"YOU FAKE YOUR DEATH. YOU LEAVE MY FUCKING GODSON TO FIGHT THAT BASTARD TOM RIDDLE BY HIMSELF THINKING THAT YOU WERE DEAD. YOU LEAVE ME. I WAS SO FUCKING HAPPY WHEN I HEARD THROUGH THE WIZARD GRAPEVINE THAT THE WAR WAS OVER. ONLY TO BECOME EXTREMELY CATATONIC WHEN TONKS SHOWS UP TO TELL ME NOT ONLY IS HER HUSBAND AND ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS IS DEAD AND SHE IS NOW A SINGLE MOTHER, BUT THE LOVE OF MY WHOLE FUCKING LIFE WAS KILLED BY VOLDEMORTS LITTLE PET. AND NOW I FIND YOU… ALIVE… ALL THESE FUCKING YEARS LATER, THE ONLY PERSON THAT KNEW WHY I WAS SO SAD ONE ON THE DAY YOU 'DIED' WAS A FUCKING MUGGLE AND SHE WAS MY BEST FRIEND AND GUESS WHAT I DON'T EVEN HAVE HER TO HELP ME ANYMORE. BUT WHEN I FINALLY GET YOU INTO A ROOM, ALONE WITH ME, AFTER ALL THESE YEARS, YOU DON'T EVEN SAY 'OH HI ABBY' OR 'I AM SO SORRY, I SHOULD HAVE TOLD MY FUCKING FIANCEE THAT I WAS FAKING MY OWN DEATH' BUT NO ALL YOU CAN SAY IS 'HOW DID YOU FIND ME?'" Abby was yelling so loud that Cynthia could hear her in the director's office.
After her little rant she launched across the table at Severus and tackled him to the ground. She looked him in the face and started punching his chest with all her might.
"YOU – FUCKING – LEFT – ME – AND – DIDN'T – EVEN – SAY – GOODBYE- I – FUCKING – LOVE – YOU – AND – YOU – COULDN'T – EVEN – SAY – GOODBYE!" everyone of Abby's words were interrupted by a punch and even more crying.
"Abby I am so so so so so sorry. I love you and I always will. While I was running for the first few years you were all I could think of. I love you now and forever and I am so sorry for the pain I have caused you." Severus kept pleading, cause although Abby was smaller than him, she packed one hell of a punch.
"Oh Severus, I love you so much, I missed you, I cried for hours after Tonks told me, I cried for days."
With that Abby launched herself at Severus again, but this time instead of punching him, she kissed him. After all the years they had been apart, she finally had him in her arms kissing him again. And like the first time they kissed, it was like heaven. They had finally returned to each other.
The kiss went from innocent to heated rather quickly and before Abby knew it she was being dragged away from Sev.
"Let me go, I just got him back. Let me go." Abby screamed trying to get back to her love who was still lying on the floor.
"No way in hell Abby, if I left you there not many people would want to come into this interrogation room any time soon. You can continue this at home." Said a voice that to Abby sounded like Tonks.
"Hello Nymphadora. How have you been?" Severus asked from the floor, while looking up at her holding Abby back.
"Oh I have been great Severus, you know raising a half-werewolf son, who is also a Metamorphmagus, on an Auror salary is such an easy thing to do. And fuck of Sev do not call me Nymphadora."
"Oh I have just the potion for that you know."
"Yes I know that's why I had to find you, to help Teddy."
"Great so I have you to thank, now can I have Abby back so I can take her home."
"Yeah sure."
When Tonks let go of Abby, she flew into Severus' arms and with a crack they were gone.
"Well that was unexpected." Tonks muttered to herself. She then turned to the mirror and asked the rest of the team in the observation room, "Did she say fiancée?"
The NCIS team sat in the bull-pen working on a case that had to be handled by them. It had been just over a week since Abby's confrontation with Severus in the interrogation room, and other than the phone call the day after the whole team, Harry or Tonks had not heard a word from either them. Just after they had heard from them though Tonks had come into the bull-pen and presented them with a case that the victim, although not killed by magic, was a wizard in the Marine's and had been killed by a wizard, so the case fell to the only team in the whole of NCIS that had actually been briefed on magic.
Gibbs was sitting at his desk, watching his team work and couldn't help but wonder what could have happened if the team had not found out about magic, this man's death could have gone unsolved because there was no one with the proper knowledge to solve the case. While he had been thinking he didn't notice the ding of the elevator.
"Hey guys, how's your week been?" came the unmistakable voice of Abby "Sorry I was gone for so long but me and Sev, had some… catching up to do." Abby half mumbled while never leaving the man who had come in with her side.
"Sorry about keeping her away from you but we had lots to discuss." Severus had though he should also apologise, even though he didn't know any of the team personally, over the past week Abby had told him all about their time apart and most of that involved the NCIS MCRT. He learnt about how Abby met Gibbs and Ducky, when Tony joined the team, he learnt about Kate and about their first case with her and all the fun times that Kate had with the team, he also found out about when Tim joined and Kate's death, the appointment of the new director and her near death experience, the teams time apart and the mole at NCIS and how Abby felt though that time hit Sev hard, he had wished he could be there for Abby. He found out about Ziva leaving the team and then the team saving her from captivity, he learnt about Mike Franks and his death. Over the past week he had made sure that he would learn everything about his loves life after he had faked his death.
"Don't worry about it you two, the way Tonks had to drag you away from each other in the interrogation room, I am surprised you are back here now. I wasn't expecting to see either of you for another week at least." came the voice of Jenny from behind them, "but maybe formal introductions are in order."
"Oh right, well everyone this is Severus Snape, Sev this is the team, Director Jenny Shepard, Special Agents Leroy Jethro Gibbs, Tony DiNozzo and Tim McGee, and Probationary Agent Ziva David, but I think you two already know each other." As Abby introduced the team they all shook Sev's hand and made little threats along the lines of 'you hurt her again and you won't have to worry about getting beat up by her again' and 'I can kill you without you even knowing where I am' (Guess who said that).
"Ahh Miss David, I started teaching potions in your fifth year, wasn't it?"
"Yes, I do believe it was my fifth year, Professor." Ziva replied somewhat timidly, surprising the team, Ziva was never timid about anything.
"Miss David, I no longer teach you so there is no need to call me Professor. Snape or even Severus will be okay."
"Only if you call me Ziva, Miss David makes me think I am still in school."
"Well as much fun as this has been, I really miss my lab, so I am going to go and show Sev Abbyland. After that Sev, you need to have a chat with Jenny about your fake documents that got you into the Marines."
Sev looked at Abby with a smile on his face, he had wanted to see Abby's lab all week. "Ok Abby, after I see Abbyland, I will talk to the director." And with that Abby and Severus left for her lab.
"You know what? I do not think I have ever seen two people more made for each other. They are perfect together." Ziva said as she watched her ex-professor and best friend walk off together.
Minerva McGonagall was sitting in her office at Hogwarts, going over all the paperwork that needed to be checked before the start of term. It was a tiresome and lengthy process but this is what she got for become Headmistress of Hogwarts. Although all this work had to be done she couldn't stop her thoughts from going to her niece, she was hoping that her plan to get back at Severus worked out. Even though she knew that those two would be together for the rest of their lives, she couldn't help but feel sort of sorry for the potions master, cause a mad Abby was someone not to be messed with. Her thoughts however where interrupted with a small pop, and when she looked over her desk she saw Kreacher, who Harry had given to the school.
"Headmistress, here's the Daily Prophet for you's. Miss Abby's on the front page."
"Oh Merlin, what has that girl done now? Thank-you Kreacher, why don't you go and get yourself something to eat?"
"Thanks you Headmistress." With another pop Kreacher disappeared.
When Minerva looked at the front page of the paper, not only was she surprised to see a picture of her niece, but it was one of Severus as well.
"Dead Potions Master and hero from the war, found. Alive."
Severus Snape, Potions Master and ex-professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was thought to be dead. It was confirmed by Harry Potter just after the end of the war that the Death Eater who was accused of killing Albus Dumbledore was a spy for the Order of the Phoenix and was ordered by Dumbledore to murder him to show his loyalty, as the Headmaster was already on deaths door. Snape's fiancée, Abigail Scuito, was unable to be found for comments about his 'death' and has hardly been seen since. But over the last week both of them have been seen in London multiple times. When they finally gave the Prophet a comment about what has happened they had this to say,
"I was worried about any possible repercussions about my activities as a Death Eater, and any of the Dark Lords followers coming and finding me to gain some revenge for the death of their leader. Although I did almost die, that much is true. I however ran and changed my appearance and lived in muggle America. There I joined the Marine Corps, which is a section of their armed military forces. But I couldn't live without my beautiful fiancée anymore, so I thought it was about time I returned to the magical community." Severus said while not letting go of his fiancée.
Abigail, who most know as Abby, had this to say to the reporters.
"I have been working in America for a long time now, and when I found out that the war was over I was so happy, but when I found out that Severus had died, I went into a deep depression. I gradually dug myself out of it with the help of my muggle co-workers, although I never moved on from Severus. When I found out he was alive, I was mad that he left without telling me but I have forgiven him now."
The couple then asked the media to please leave them to their lives. They also confirmed that they will both be staying in America and they still plan to get married.
For the rest of the article on Severus Snape's return turn to page 4.
"Well, at least they are both happy now." Minerva said with a smile on her face.
After his tour of Abbyland, Severus went to the director's office to have his meeting about his forged documents alone because Abby had to finish an analysis for the team because her replacement for the past week had no idea what they were doing. When he approached the waiting area just outside Jenny's office, he saw her assistant and approached her to make sure that the director wasn't busy.
"Hello, I'm Severus. I am here for a meeting with the director, is she busy right now? I can always come back."
"Ahh yes. Severus Bennett Dumbledore, she is busy right now, but she will only be five minutes." Cynthia said to him, she had seen him being escorted into the building about a week ago now.
"Ok thank-you, I will just wait here."
After a bit of an awkward silence, Severus thought he would break it.
"So, you know my name, however I do not know yours."
"Um, my name is Cynthia. I hate to be rude but are you the man that Abby was yelling at a week ago?"
"Um yes, how did you know about that?" Sev was worried now, if someone had a tape of that conversation, he would be screwed, he had apparated out of the building.
"I haven't seen footage of it, just Abby was really loud, and although I couldn't determine what she was saying, I could hear her yelling. What did you do to piss her off? It must have been serious, Abby doesn't lose her cool like that for not go reason."
"You sound like you know Abby really well."
"Yes I do. She helped me deal with Agent Gibbs more than once. But you are still avoiding the question."
"You sound like a lovely person Cynthia, and I know that Abby only surrounds herself with the best types of friends, but I can't tell you the specific details. Confidential information, I can tell you I hurt her, and I making amends for that now, personally I am happy I am not dead. I have seen what Abby can do when she feels betrayed."
"Thank-you for giving me that much, but I am going to tell you. Hurt her again, and you will have hell to pay."
"I completely believe you, I have receive similar threats from the team, and the one I am most worried about is Gibbs. Was he a sniper?"
"Yes in the Marines."
"Oh fuck, if I hurt her again he is going to kill me from some large faraway distance, isn't he?"
"Yes Severus, he most likely will." Came a voice from the doorway, "and he is not the only one."
"Miss David, what are you doing here?" Severus was worried where this was going.
"I told you Professor call me Ziva. I do not like feeling like I am back in school, not that I did not love it, but I much rather like to distance myself from that part of my life since the whole issue with Ari."
"I understand Ziva."
Then behind them the door to the director's office opened.
"Ah good, you're both here. Now both of you come in."
When all three were seated in Jenny's office their little meeting began.
"Now Severus, you first. I understand you gaining entrance into the Marines with faked information, but I cannot allow it any longer. I can, however, offer you a deal which will not include any harsh punishment. I can gain permission and have you honourably discharged on one condition."
"That condition being Director?"
"You come and work for NCIS, helping Gibbs and his team on cases that involve magic. I have already talked to Tonks and the Minister of Magic and they have both allowed it, although they have a condition as well."
"And what is their condition?"
"You allow the ministry of magic in Britain and America access to your changed Wolfsbane potion to give access to people who do not like being werewolves. Ziva and Tonks explained to me that after the war werewolf rights were changed and that they now have a better life, but some werewolves still do not like being what they are, so if you allow the Ministries in both of our countries to use it to help these people, the British Ministry will not take any action against you for all the bad deeds that you have committed and the American Ministry will hire you as their NCIS liaison. Now I want you to think about this and come back to me with an answer."
"I don't need time to think Director, I get to stay in America with Abby and I get to sell my potion, this is what I have wanted for years, but because I was in hiding I wasn't able to. I accept your offer. Thank you so much director."
"Well that's good, I was hoping you would accept it." Then Jenny turned to Ziva. "Now Ziva, as you are an agent, a witch and have held a liaison position before, I want you to help Severus, or Agent Snape, with his training and integration into the agency. Also I heard from some of the people in the order that you were quite the potions student, so I also want you to help Severus with his Wolfsbane potion. The first batch of the potion will be given to Teddy Lupin, Tonks son. She was the one that found you and apart of the deal I made with her when we started this investigation, she is the first one that gets that potion, even though Teddy isn't a full wolf, he still transforms but can control himself. Tonks has asked him and he doesn't want to be like this anymore. So he gets the first potion."
"I would love to help Agent Snape, I think it will be a good learning experience for us both. When the first batch of the potion is done, I will go and get Teddy and Tonks. I love the idea of being able to help my nephew. Thank-you Jenny."
"Your both very welcome, now go and tell the team and Abby about this. Don't tell Tonks about the fact I have your conformation on the potion. Abby and I discussed this and we both believe I would be an awesome surprise for her on her birthday."
Both Ziva and Snape looked at Jenny and nodded, agreeing fully with her plan. As they are walking down the stairs, Ziva turns to face Snape.
"It looks like I am the teacher now, Probie." With that Ziva walks off, laughing, leaving behind a shocked Snape.
TBC…
A/N – Ok thanks everyone for waiting for this, I really appreciate it. There will only be one more chapter, it will the Epilogue. Now I wish I could have continued it further, but I could not come up with an idea for it to go any further. I also have an idea for a Harry Potter/Batman story and it will not get out of my head until I write it, I might also start a Harry Potter/Bones story, mostly cause I have a good idea for that too. But I want my readers opinions, so please review this chapter with your choice or you can just message me. I wanted to thank everyone that has added this to their alerts and favourites list, also the people that have reviewed already, it makes me feel good that there are people out there (other than my parents, family and my best friends, who wouldn't have known I was writing this if I hadn't told them) who are reading and liking my story, so thank you all again. Look out for my new story and if I can think of a sequel for this, than I will most defiantly write it and post it for all of you. Thanks and I hope that the last chapter will be done soon, so keep an eye out for it. (If you can think of an idea of what you want in a sequel for this story just message me and I might start writing one.)
