Chapter 11
The next morning when Harry woke up, he got out of bed letting his brother sleep. Harry walked past Lucius' room quietly and walked to the dinning room to eat breakfast. After breakfast, neither Severus or Lucius had gotten up, so Harry decided to wake them up. Harry went his and his brother's room first and Harry turned the lights on to wake Severus. After he woke his brother, Harry went to Lucius' room, turned on the lights and tried to shake his friend awake. After a few tries, Harry just decided to pour ice, cold water on his friend. Lucius just sat up and glared at Harry.
"What?" Harry asked.
"Why did you pour water on me?" Lucius asked.
"It seems to be the only way to wake you up." Harry answered.
"How did you wake your brother up and what time is it?" Lucius asked.
"I just turned on the light and it is seven thirty." Harry answered.
"Its too early." Lucius complained.
"It is not." Harry shot back.
"It is for me, I usually sleep in." Lucius said.
"Well, since you're up, you might as well get out of bed." Harry said, walking out of his friends room.
"Alright, fine." Lucius said, getting out of bed and following his friend. After Severus and Lucius ate, the two boys went to find Harry.
"I wonder where he is?" Severus asked.
"I don't know, but we will find him." Lucius answered.
"Do you have a library?" Severus asked.
"Yeah, why?" Lucius answered.
"Harry could have found found his way there." Severus said.
"Okay, follow me." Lucius said. Severus followed Lucius to the library and when they got to the library door, it was cracked open.
"I think Harry is in there." Severus said.
"I think so too." Lucius said. The two boys walked into the library and looked around for Harry.
"I don't see him, Lucius." Severus said.
"Keep looking." Lucius told him. They kept looking and they soon found him, reading a book.
"Harry!" Severus shouted. Harry looked up from his book and waved.
"Hey, Sev." Harry said.
"Why were you down here?" Severus asked.
"I wanted to find the library." Harry answered.
"You could have asked me, you know." Lucius said.
"I know, but I asked your father while you were eating." Harry said.
"Oh, okay." Lucius said.
"Hey, Lucius, remember when you and Sirius got beat up and had to go to the hospital wing?" Harry asked.
"Yeah, why?" Lucius answered.
"I never asked before, but who beat you up?" Harry asked.
"I don't know who they were, just that they were sixth and seventh years." Lucius answered.
"So we can't get the seventh years back because they already graduated, but we can get the sixth years back because they will be seventh years this year." Harry stated.
"Yeah, but I don't know who they are, so we can't." Lucius said.
"Hey, if they are in your year, then you must know who they are." Severus said.
"Yeah, do you know what house they were in?" Harry asked.
"Yeah, they were a group of Griffindors and Slytherins." Lucius answered.
"How many do you believe were seventh years?" Harry asked.
"Um...three, I believe." Lucius answered.
"How many attacked you and Sirius?" Severus asked.
"Seven and why are you asking me this?" Lucius asked.
"Sorry, but I wanted to know if we should get them back for you?" Harry asked.
"No, even if I knew who attacked Sirius and I, I still wouldn't want you too get them back." Lucius answered.
"Why not?" Severus asked.
"Cause the group you're talking about is not very nice and if you get them back, they will find a very painful way to hurt you and I don't want that to happen to my friends." Lucius answered.
"What exactly did you and Sirius do to get beat up anyway?" Harry asked.
"I hang out with Griffindors and Sirius hangs out with Slytherins." Lucius answered.
"So." Harry said.
"Slytherins and Griffindors don't like that especially when Griffindors think we are all bad and evil." Lucius said.
"Why don't the older ones like you hanging out Griffindors?" Severus asked.
"they follow the Dark Lord and Griffindor has a lot of muggleborns and Half-bloods. Most Griffindors do not follow the Dark Lord, anyway." Lucius answered.
"Oh." Severus said.
"Yeah, that is also why I don't want you getting back at them, because you are Half-bloods and I just don't want to see you get hurt." Lucius said.
"But, what about James and Sirius?" Harry asked.
"I don't want them to get them back either." Lucius answered.
"Why not?" Severus asked.
"Firstly, they are Griffindors, secondly, Sirius' entire family is Slytherin and supporters of the Dark Lord, except him of course and Lastly, James' family does not support the Dark Lord. Oh, did I forget to mention that the group of Slytherins you are talking about and that lone Griffindor could hurt them very badly?" Lucius said.
"Yes, you did mention that, but could it be worse than what you received?" Harry asked.
"Yes, much worse. They know a lot more than you do and they also know more curses, as they are now seventh years and the Slytherins know a lot of dark curses, including the three unforgivables." Lucius answered.
"What about that lone Griffindor?" Severus asked.
"I don't know and I don't want to find out. That lone Griffindor could possibly be a supporter of the Dark Lord, but I don't know." Lucius answered.
"So the seventh years that attacked you were Griffindors?" Severus asked.
"Yes, and the The group of Slytherins and that one Griffindor were sixth years." Lucius answered.
"Alright, we won't get them back." Harry said.
"Yeah we won't, but we should have had this conversation during the school year and not right now." Severus said.
"Thank you." Lucius said, smiling.
"You're welcome, now lets see if we go to spinners end and work on our home." Harry said.
"Alright." Lucius and Severus said at the same time. The three boys walked out of the library and into the living room where their fathers were sitting on the couch looking over some of the blueprints of the house.
"Dad?" Harry said.
"Yes, what do you need?" Tobias asked.
"Can we go to our house in spinners end and help fix it up?" Harry asked.
"Put your potions books away first." Tobias answered pointing at the pile of books sitting still by the edge of couch.
"I don't remember putting them there." Harry said.
"I did, when we got back and you went off bed, so of course you wouldn't remember." Tobias said.
"Oh." Harry said. Harry walked over picked up some the books, Lucius and Severus picked up the rest and put them away on Severus and Harry's bookshelf in their room. After that they walked back into the living room and waited.
"Alright, lets go, Abraxas you ready?" Tobias asked.
"Yes, lets go." Abraxas answered. Everybody held on as Abraxas apparated everyone to Spinners end. Once they got to spinners end they set to work, rebuilding the home.
"Dad, I think we should start with the living room first." Severus said.
"Why?" Tobias asked.
"Cause its in the front and it the first room you walk into." Severus answered.
"It also bad and good memories." Harry put in.
"Alright, then." Tobias said.
We might need wood to rebuild parts of the house." Severus said, looking at the house.
"I'll go to the lumber yard and get some wood," Tobias said. "I want Severus, Harry and Lucius to start removing the debris and Abraxas to help, if you will." Tobias said.
"Sure." Abraxas said. Tobias left and went to the lumber yard, while Severus, Harry, Lucius and Abraxas went to removing the debris and scorch marks from the floor and walls that could be removed.
"I wish we had our friends to help, it go so much faster." Harry said.
"I suppose, but I do remember dad telling us no one could come over this summer." Severus said.
"Yeah, so we couldn't anyway." Lucius said.
"Hey, come and look what I found." Harry said.
"What did you find?" Severus asked, walking over to his brother.
"I found a picture of our family." Harry said.
"What year?" Severus asked.
"Take a look and find out." Harry answered, handing Severus the picture. Severus took a picture from his brother's hands and looked at it. Their mother was sitting on the couch with Severus on her lap and their father sitting next to his wife with Harry on his lap. The family was smiling and happy. Severus flipped the picture over and read what was on the back of the picture, not even realizing he was saying it out loud. "The Snape family, January 13th, 1961."
"Yeah, four days after our first birthday, a year before we started showing any magic, dad losing his job, started drinking, and hurting us for many years." Harry said.
"Yeah, until the summer before second year, but he has changed for good now and will never hurt us again, I hope anyway." Severus said.
"Yeah, but we should get back to work." Harry said.
"What about the picture?" Severus asked.
"The picture should fit in my pocket." Harry answered.
"Alright." Severus said, handing the picture to his brother. When all the debris was cleared from the living room, they moved to the kitchen. Tobias came back two hours later with the wood and when Severus and Harry saw their father come into the yard, they ran to their father.
"Dad, look what I found that wasn't ruined!" Harry yelled.
"What did you find Harry" Tobias asked.
"A picture of our family." Harry answered, happily.
"May I see it?" Tobias asked.
"Sure." Harry answered, handing over the picture. Tobias looked at the picture and smiled.
"Do you mind if I keep it and frame it later?" Tobais asked.
"No." Harry said.
"Do you want to help rebuild some of the walls?" Tobias asked.
"Sure," Harry answered "Sev, Lucius over here!" Severus and Lucius walked over to where Harry was standing.
"Yeah?" Lucius asked.
"Do you want to help rebuild some of the walls?" Harry asked.
"Sure." Lucius answered.
"Yeah, I would love too!" Severus said.
"Alright, boys, lets get started then." Tobias said. Lucius, Severus, Harry, and Tobias set to work on the walls.
"Hey, need some help there?" Abraxas asked, walking up to them.
"Sure." Tobias answered. Abraxas used a spell to get rid of the burnt walls that weren't reusable and repaired anything that needed to be repaired. Once Abraxas was done with the living room, he went too the kitchen and too all the other rooms down stairs. Once he was done the downstairs looked it was brand new.
"Wow, now we just have to paint it." Severus said.
"We've got a spell for that too." Abraxas said.
"We would rather just paint it by hand."Severus said.
"Why?" Lucius asked.
"Cause it feel more like home if we do." Severus answered.
"Oh, alright." Lucius said.
"Why don't we fix the stairs and repair anything that needs to be fixed before we start on the walls." Tobias said.
"Alright." Abraxas said. Abraxas fixed the stairs and any holes in the floor.
"Now that is done, I need Severus, Harry and Lucius to pick up any debris, put it in one pile, any reusable wood in another, and any personal items that haven't been destroyed by the fire in another," Tobias said. "Abraxas I am going to need your help with the walls again."
"Alright." Abraxas said. Severus, Harry and Lucius started cleaning the debris out of the hallway so they could get to the rooms to clean them up.
"Lets start with dads room first." Severus said.
"Alright." Harry said. The three boys walked to Tobias' room and walked inside.
"Um, Lucius I think that the wood the bed and dresser was made out of is still some what good, so could you take it and put it in the wood pile?" Severus asked.
"Yeah, I'll be right back." Lucius answered.
"Okay." Severus said. Harry and Severus began searching through the debris for anything that was still intact, but didn't really find anything, but ash.
"This is pointless, we are finding nothing, but ash." Harry complained.
"Hey, remember dad's favorite suit and tie?" Severus asked.
"Yeah, why?" Harry answered.
"Maybe mum placed a spell on it similar to the spell placed on our books." Severus answered.
"Well, lets look in the closet then." Harry said. The two boys looked in the closet and found the tie, but no suit.
"Hey, a least the tie is here." Severus said.
"Yeah, the suit can be easily replaced." Harry said, looking at the emerald green and black striped tie, with a little silver snake tie clip on it. The two boys looked around a bit more and found nothing more, so they walked out of the room, almost running into Lucius.
"Hey, did you find anything?" Lucius asked.
"Yeah, dad's favorite tie." Harry answered.
"Lets go to your room then." Lucius said.
"Alright, but there will probably not be much." Harry said. The three boys walked into the room and began looking around, and cleaning up. They didn't find anything.
"See, I told you we wouldn't find anything. The only thing that as still intact we came in here last time, was our potions books." Harry said.
"Yeah, but I wanted to see if there was anything more." Lucius said.
"Alright, lets move on to the next room." Severus said. The three boys walked into the next room, cleaned it up, then they went to the bathroom, cleaned it up and when they were finished, they walked downstairs and went outside. They waited until their fathers were done fixing the walls. After they were done, they apparated home.
"Now, all we have to is paint and move furniture back in." Harry said.
"Yeah, and did you give dad his Lucky tie?" Severus asked.
"No, let me go give it to him." Harry answered.
"Alright." Severus said. Harry found his father siting in the dinning room, talking to Abraxas.
"Sorry to interrupt, but I have something important." Harry said.
"What is it?" Tobias asked his son.
"I found your favorite tie in the closet." Harry answered.
"Was that the only thing still intact?" Tobias asked.
"Yes, and here." Harry answered, handing his father the tie.
"Thank you, now go to bed, son." Tobias said, getting up to hug his son. They hugged for a moment and then let go, so Harry could go to bed.
"Good night, dad." Harry said, over his shoulder.
"Good night, son." Tobias said, watch Harry leave and go to his room. Harry stopped by Lucius' room to say good night and then went to his room.
"How did it go?" Severus asked.
"Good, now lets go to bed." Harry answered.
"Yeah, lets go sleep." Severus said. The two boys fell asleep peacefully and didn't even notice when their father came in and checked on them before going to bed himself. They were too busy dreaming to even notice.
