Back I go

Chapter 14

Harry read the letter from his son, a frown on his face. He too did not understand how or why Evanson came up. It was more troubling for Harry than it was for Severus, because Harry knew his real name. Knew that Evanson was not his name, so he was confused, very confused.

Deciding he better write to his son before he panicked the boy he began writing. At least he had a bit of good news; Severus had befriended James, and Sirius. Perhaps now they would not make his life a living hell. He was hoping Peter was not going to be part of that group, that Severus would be a marauder instead of Peter. He did not care if it changed the future.

Severus,

I'm not sure how it's all happened, but I can guess its magic, no one truly understands magic. Magic does have a mind of its own; magic is everywhere and a part of us. I think it's your want to be my son that's made Evanson come up at the end of your name. Don't worry too much over it, I am pleased it's there and proud that you got sorted into Ravenclaw. Not surprised though I did say you would end up there, anyway.

As for making more friends that's great, I'm glad you have made some nice friends. I do hope you can keep them, as you have with Remus. As for this Peter he doesn't seem very nice try and stay away from him. I will send some food in a couple of weeks, I need to get food in or I will starve. If you need anything, just send the letter with your owl.

I'm so proud of you Severus; I could never love you more if you were my own son,

Harry,

A.k.a Dad

Tying the letter to his son's owl he watched it take off, back to Hogwarts. Back to his master who was waiting anxiously for Harry's letter to arrive.

"Oi Snape, your going to regret not going into Slytherin" said Lucius Malfoy a tall white blond boy. A cold steel look around his eyes, he looked evil and Severus knew he never wanted to associate with people like him. He could tell the blond was just as bad as his father.

"Why is that?" asked Severus smoothly looking at Lucius disdainfully.

"I will make sure of it, I wonder what your father will say, especially when I tell him you have a mud blood name attached to the Snape name" said Lucius smirking maliciously.

"Do you think I care what he thinks? He has no control over me and cannot touch me, my dad saw to that" said Severus smiling.

"Well your dad won't save you here" said Lucius wand in his hand.

"MAYBE HE CANT BUT I CAN" said Remus standing with Severus his amber eyes glowing. Severus was his first friend he would let nothing happen to him. Having a friend had obviously done a lot; the other Remus would have watched everything from the sidelines. Harry had taught them a few great spells and they knew they could defend themselves if needed be.

"Three against two you don't have a chance" said Lucius smirking slightly but if you looked close enough you would have seen the twitch of his brow.

"That would be four against three actually" said Sirius and James joined them in the corridor.

"It's not the end Snape" snarled Lucius taking off; he was not stupid enough to think he could take on four people who had been in the wizarding world their whole life. Not with Crabbe and Goyle anyway, he would need to get Nott and Avery was his thought as he left.

"Thanks guys" said Severus as they walked into the hall. A bunch of no problems was flung around as they all sat at the Gryffindor table. They did not realise the head table had quietened down, watching the group in shock. No one had ever not sat at their correct table before; they had never managed to stop the house rivalry long enough.

"So what is your name? I have heard my parents talking about the Snape name. Told us they were dark wizards" said James eating.

Severus was about to snap at them but James realising what he had said amended what he said, "I don't mean you Sev, I mean I spent the whole train ride with you. My mum wants me to judge people on their own, my dad is paranoid though, doesn't want me friends with dark family's" said James.

"I will keep it as it is, just because the last few Snape's have been evil it doesn't mean they all were." said Severus.

"How did you end up living with your dad anyways? And why do you have his name along with your own. Its not adoption or it would have been Severus Evanson" said Sirius eating a sausage.

"My dad saved me from my father, he was abusive and horrible. He never gave me new clothes and he even used the cruciatus curse on me, Harry was nice and done something no one had done since I was a baby" said Severus.

"What's that?" asked James.

"Cared for me, helped me learn to love and live" said Severus knowing James and the others could not really understand. Remus did somewhat, only because his mother had been like that when he had been turned into a werewolf, she had been scared of him. She soon left, leaving her son and husband with no money.

"I wish that would happen to me, I'm glad you have someone" said Sirius looking tormented and happy for his friend at the same time. Sirius would never say it but he was terrified of going home, he was in so much trouble. He had been sorted into Gryffindor, yes he was glad that was until he gets home. He was going to beaten somewhat horrible, Regulas would be coming to Hogwarts next year.

"Thanks, now anyway what have you all got? There are only a few classes we have with you. Lets see, well we have history of magic, Herbology and transfiguration together, we only have one today. Oh look potions as well on Thursdays." said Severus looking between the two timetables.

"Transfiguration today, that's great" said James smirking he loved his transfiguration.

"Well the bell will being going, we need to figure our way around the school so we better get going. Pause that thought" said Severus watching how owl swoop through the rafters.

"It's from your dad" said Remus excited for his friend.

"Yes," said Severus smiling.

The four of them read the letter; they were all in awe at Severus' dad's insight to magic. For the first time they realise perhaps the magic did not just come from in them but around them. That had them curious to know why you need a wand to do magic, some day they would figure something out that would be truly magical.

Someday they would learn to coax the magic around them to do as they pleased. Something no one had ever done something that would change the war that will brew on the horizon for years to come. They would get through it they would have each other.

"Ah Remus, Severus please come to my office" said Albus looking angrier by the minute.

"Sure" said Remus and Severus together, they both had their old and new memories and they had mixed feelings. They settled on nodding their heads at each other, however, Remus wanted to embrace Severus for everything he had done. He had changed Remus and for the better too. Remus loved the new him, and would not stop what Harry was doing for the sake of the world. Speaking of which, he hated the feelings he was having for Harry, he loved Harry like a father, a father! This was his unofficial godson they were talking about; he would learn to accept it.

"Tell me what else has changed?" asked Albus. His memories were now changing. Instead of having to give a row to Severus and take two points of James he had nothing. He had gone to bed as happy as you please. His old self was happy that the other houses were finally stopping the house rivalry.

"Oh, I and Remus have been friends for many years before Hogwarts. Also I have an Aunt that I did not know I had nor do I know how she died. She was my mother's sister, and she helped me create the wolf's bane potion, and it's being sold. Did I tell you my vaults bulging with money?" said Severus.

"Me Severus, James and Sirius are all friends, Peter is no longer part of the group. Everything is going great, I was no longer the only werewolf in Hogwarts, we all use the wolf's bane potion and it's all great. Every full moon I go out and meet up with them and have fun it's just like being in your animagus form. Somehow it doesn't hurt as much as the original stuff," said Remus.

"I've even stopped my experimental potions, it seems my younger self figures them all out younger." said Severus.

"I'm sure it was all Harry's doing" said Albus he didn't like this confident Severus at all.

"Actually it wasn't, it was just Emily and me, I did it for Remus and Harry got it published now everyone knows all about the potion, I'm only getting half of it, however, it's a very popular potion and I will probably make money for it for as long as I live" said Severus.

"The past is changing into a better place, if the past is a better place what is the future going to be like?" said Remus smiling slightly.

"I dread to think about that" said Severus swallowing nervously. They had no idea what was ahead of them, they had no idea that they…well that would be telling.

"Has Harry told you about him being from the future?" asked Albus curiously.

"No, he has said nothing. I hope he tells my younger self soon I don't want to feel betrayed when Harry does tell me" said Severus.

"I agree" said Remus nodding his head.

"Well I have a job for you two" said Albus coming to a decision.

"What?" asked Remus his attention on Dumbledore completely.
