Chapter 10

Last Time:

"What about Christmas?"

"Either staying here or Snape Manor"

"Could we go to the manor?"

"What do you think Justin would want?"

"The manor" Snape nods.

"Then we will go there" Snape looks at Alex's plate to see it's empty then looks at his, empty as well. Snape and Alex pull away and Snape flicks his wand to make him and Alex dressed in jeans, t-shirt, sweater, winter coat, hat, gloves and boots. Alex wraps her red and yellow scarf and the two of them heads out, to the entrance hall and out to the Quidditch pitch for the game.

But one thing runs through Snape's mind.

Did Draco tell Alex that he in my godson yet?

Now:

As the father and daughter walk down to the Quidditch pitch, Alex sees Justin. She runs over to him and jumps on his back.

"Guess what?" Alex squeals as she climbs off Justin, since they fell to the ground. Snape chuckles and lifts Justin off the ground.

"What?" Justin asks laughing.

"We found a new home. Besides here at the castle. We will be living with dad at Snape Manor!" Alex tells him jumping up and down. Justin's mouth drops and he looks at Snape, who is smiling and nodding.

"Really?" Snape nods.

"Yes" and just like that Justin pulls Alex to him and hugs her tightly. Justin looks at Snape and both he and Alex hug Snape tightly.

Snape hugs his children, happy that they are happy, safe and have quickly accepted that he is their birth father.

"Would you two like to sit up with me in the staff section?" Snape asks. Alex looks up with her eyes a beautiful light brown, showing that she is happy. Justin looks up with his eyes a shinning blue, also showing he is happy.

"Ok" Alex grins.

"We will love you" Justin grins as well. Alex grabs Justin's right hand in her left's and then takes Snape's left in her right. Snape walks up the stairs on the right and walks slowly since he knows that Alex and Justin wouldn't be able to keep up with him if he didn't go slowly.

As the Snape family walks up the 10 sets of stairs, Alex quickly grew tired. Snape is giving Alex a piggy back ride as Alex keeps Justin's hand in her's.

They arrive to the staff section, and Snape points to the seats right at the front. Snape stands in front of the seats and Justin sits down on the left. Snape helps Alex off and she takes her seat, leaving the seat between them open. Snape sits in the in-between seat and feels Alex rest her head on his shoulder and Justin does as well.

"I love you daddy" Alex whispers.

"I love you dad" Justin whispers.

"I love you two too" Snape tells them.

Dumbledore and McGonagall watches Snape with his kids and smiles.

"They were quick on accepting" McGonagall whispers to Dumbledore.

"I know. But it's great though" Dumbledore replies.

"I know. But how did you find Alex and Justin?" Dumbledore looks at McGonagall.

"Their old headmaster, Professor Crumbs, from WizTech told me what was going on. He told me, that 'two of his students are missing and haven't been to school in the last 3 years'. So I went to him and he gave me their information. So I tracked them down, found them living under a bridge. So I gave them a place here at the school. They are VERY special and they deserve the best, after what has happened to them" McGonagall nods. But that's not even half. Dumbledore will have to explain to Snape on how the death of Max, Jerry and Theresa Russo wasn't an accident. Someone is trying to kill Justin and Alex Russo-Snape.

~H&A~

As Harry catches the golden snitch, he sees the bludger directly above him.

"Reducto!" Alex shouts as she, Justin, Snape, Hermione, Ron and the Gryffindor Quidditch team rushes over. Harry sighs in relief sees the bludger explode.

Alex kneels next to Harry with worry in her eyes.

"Are you ok?" Alex asks worriedly.

"The bludger broke my arm. But other than that, I'm ok" Harry answers with a smile. Alex bites her lip and nods.

"I can fix this" Lockhart goes to kneel down next to Harry, but Alex pushes him away.

"You are just going to make it worse! You're a lying idiot who only cares about fame!" Alex snaps, standing up. Lockhart narrows his eyes as Alex and pulls out his wand. Lockhart starts to say a spell to attack Alex, but Snape disarms him.

"You will NOT touch my daughter" Snape growls. Dumbledore shakes his head.

"Guys, grow up. Lockhart, we do not harm students. Snape, take your daughter and son to your apartment. I need to talk to you three about something important" as Dumbledore spoke, Lockhart made matters worse. Alex looks at Harry quickly to see his arm all rubbery.

"I TOLD YOU!" Alex punches Lockhart in the face and just like that, Justin and Snape pull her back. They pull Alex up to the school and they head to the apartment.

~A&H~

At the apartment, Grandfather Severus sees Justin, Snape and Alex.

"Can't I just punch him once more?" Alex asks with a pout on her face.

"No" Snape and Justin answers as one.

"What happened?" Grandfather asks.

"Lockhart happened" Snape answers. Grandfather narrows his eyes.

"What did he do this time?"

"He was going to attack Alex. Then he screwed up a spell and Alex punched him" Grandfather looks at Alex with a smile.

"Great job Alex" Alex smiles and gives Grandfather a thumbs up.

"Oh, Grandfather Sev..." Grandfather chuckles at that, "this is Justin. Justin that is Grandfather Severus. He is dad's dad" Alex smiles.

"Hello" Justin waves.

"Hello Justin. You look like your mother but with your father's hair. Your sister could pass as the girl version of your father"

Justin smiles as Grandfather allows the family inside. Alex looks around to see three doors. One says 'dad', the one in the middle says 'Alex' and the last one says 'Justin'. Snape's bedroom door is blue. Alex's is red, black and purple. And Justin's in green.

"I made you two bedrooms in here, if you even want to sleep here" Snape explains as Grandfather watches from his picture above the fireplace.

"Thank you dad" Justin hugs Snape.

"If you want to change the colour, just tell me and I will change it for you" Justin and Alex smiles as Alex hug Snape and Justin heads to his room.

"You are getting a hang of this again daddy" Alex looks up at Snape but not letting go. Snape wraps his arms around Alex and leans down. He kisses Alex's forehead and strokes her hair.

"It feels like it's the right thing to do"

"For the rest of the school year, could I move down here?" Alex and Snape hear Justin asks as he walks out of his room.

"Sure" Snape smiles as Justin smiles, "but may I ask why?"

"People in the common room, loves to be mean to me, because Alex is my little sister and I'm your son" Snape rolls his eyes.

"People don't like me because I'm not a nice person. But that doesn't give them a right to go after my kids"

"I've been getting the same treatment as Justin but I normally threaten them and knock their faces in" Snape raises an eyebrow at Alex, "what?"

"You are REALLY like your mother on that part. She was the intimidating type of person"

"What does that mean?"

"She liked to make people afraid of her" Alex smirks, "but she kept her friends and family safe. She would beat people up in a blink of an eye"

"Hey, I am like mom on that part. These two girls in my dormitory bullies Hermione all the time. So I punched them and threatened them"

"What are the girls' names?"

"Lavender and Pavarti" Snape nods.

"That would explain why they glare at you and Hermione in class" Alex's smirk turns to an innocent smile.

"Maybe" Snape chuckles.

"Go check out your room" Alex hugs Snape tightly before running into her room.

"You are a great father dad" Justin tells Snape, "You are making me and Alex happy so we trust you. You are also protective of us, so that makes us love and trust you even more"

"I love you two too. But Alex isn't in her teenage years yet"

"It will be a struggle since Alex will only be with males"

"Actually, there is Minnie. She's my house elf. I offer her freedom, but she never takes it" Justin nods with a smile. The son and father sits down on the couch as Dumbledore walks in and Alex comes out of her room. She waves at Dumbledore and skips over to her family.

"I love it daddy. Thank you" Alex gives Snape a hug before sitting down on Justin's lap and rests her feet in Snape's lap. Dumbledore chuckles and sits down on the lazy boy chair in front of them.

"Now I have to tell you three something VERY important" Dumbledore informs them, "I know this will be hard for you, Justin and Alex, but you two need to know this"

"What is it?" Justin asks.

"The death of your family, Max, Jerry and Theresa, wasn't an accident" Alex's eyes grow wide.

"What?" Alex whispers.

"There is a person after you both... to KILL you"

"Who would want to kill my kids?" Snape growls.

"Someone who wants power. Alex and Justin have a special kind of magic that their mother passed to them" Snape's eyes widen.

"That's why she performed that spell, that night. She told me that she was passing her magic to me, Alex and Justin. That would also explain why Minnie has been seeing a black cloaked man"

"That would explain why that cloaked person grabbed me that day you arrived to get me and Justin. I got into a fight an hour before" Alex whispers.

"That would explain why I see a cloaked person follow me around" Justin whispers.

Dumbledore bites his lip.

"I don't know WHO it is, but I do know why. They want that power that your mother gave to you" Dumbledore stands up and walks out, leaving Alex, Justin and Snape in shock and surprise. Alex gets up and walks into her room. Justin is the next to leave to his room, and then Snape does as well.

There is someone out there to kill them to get the magic that Grace passed to them.
