Aniu got on the train again and went to the Gryffindor cars. She had been in her own world when she heard the voices. The train had started to move not long before. "She's gotta be here somewhere."
"Just keep looking."
"Stop pushing me." The voices grew closer till they were right outside the small door. Aniu looked up and saw the twins. Leon threw open the door and hugged her along with Noel. "Together again." One said. They had grown a great deal over the time she hadn't seen then. They had also filled out more. They had not put on much weight but were now five foot six a decent height for the age of fourteen. Their hair had grown out a bit and their eyes had a lot of mischief in them because of being abed for two years.
Aniu was now a nice five foot three and a half. Eyes as bright as the day they meet her. She had begun to turn into a girl. No longer a lanky frame of arms and legs. But she was getting a shape now hips and legs. Her cheeks had thinned and you could see the high cheekbones. "This year's gonna be great." Noel said. "You can bet it will be I got a broom for my birthday I'm trying out for Quidditch this year. I train with Siri almost everyday." Aniu smiled.
She and the twins spoke about what had been happening. The twins had finally gotten better around late spring but it was so late in the year they couldn't return to finish so they simply waited for the current one. Aniu did not mind sitting at the table while the sorting and feast went on. She was just happy that her friends were back again. She didn't notice the first year's stares or the taunts from Slytherin. She was happy to have her friends back. It was like a tripod, when one leaves they all fall.
The next day the first thing they did was run from the great hall to see Sir Salizar Slytherin. The man smiled as he says his three favorite students come up to the portrait. "Well the trio is together again. Nice to see you again. Boys I trust you're feeling better." he said. They nodded. "Now off to class with the three of you go before you're late." he sent them on their way. The three barely made it to their classes getting into their classes just as the bell was ringing.
The three were still on high the following week till an accident happened in Potions class. Which left the group being to fourteen years olds and a baby. Noel's partner in potions had put in too much crushed bat wing in it had turned both of them into babies. That had been the there day. Now Noel was drooling in his brother's arms. "There has to be a way to turn them back." Aniu spoke taking the baby and holding him.
"Aniu dear I've sent for your father he's on his way. IF there's anyway this potion is going to get done in less then a week." Poppy said. "I get to meet your father?" Leon asked. "Alright Aunt Poppy. We'll be right here with Noel." Aniu said. "Would you mind watching this one as well?" Poppy handed the other boy to Leon. "Alright." She took the baby and sat down with him. "Great reduce to baby sitting my own twin and the boy who shrunk him."
"Do you want to know the story or not?" Aniu asked him. "Fine I'm just upset that right now my brother is a baby. And is drooling on my bloody arm. I'll trade you." He held the child out to the red head. "I've got my ward thank you." she said. "Fine, fine. So what's this about your father?"
"I'm adopted." "That part we know."
"By World renown potions master Severus Snape. Former professor at Hogwarts. Ask any of the fifth years up and they can tell you. My father is not as harsh as a man as they say. He is very loving and cares if something happens to me. I hate when the older students talk about him in a hateful way. About how he gives way to many detentions and always took points. He's hard to understand and Saves his love and kindness for those he cares about. Which is why he's not here teaching."
"He feels that he would be to soft when it came to you?" She nodded. "Not just that but he would most likely give detention to any student who ever said anything bad about me or did something to hurt me. That's why we changed my last name while I came here. So they couldn't make the connection there too. He, Moony and Padfoot felt that if they let me come with the name students would be wondering about his home life and start asking me all sorts of questions." Aniu explained.
"So your name isn't Prince it's Snape?" she nodded. "So where the deuce did the surname Prince come from?"
"My mother's maiden name." The voice caught then off guard. "Hello Papa." Aniu set the baby down with the other to hug the black clad man. Severus looked at the boy. Giving him the same look he did his students. The dark one that said 'I don't know who you are and I could care less don't waste my time.' combined with the glare that he gave Harry every time he saw the boy in his classes. "Papa this is Leon. Noel here is the one who is in need of your talents." she said.
The boys had already been babies for two days. The potions master wasn't really a master just a teacher. She knew a way to reverse the effects of the botched potion but her's would take up to a week to brew while Severus had one that only took a day to make. "You know my child you could have made the potion yourself. I taught you well enough in the art."
"But where dear father would I get the ingredients, the sky maybe?" Aniu smiled at him. Snape plucked her in the forehead. "That was for the cheek." HE did it again. "That just because I can." he grinned. HE had finished giving the boys the potions now they just needed to take effect. "Alright I'll be returning home. See you at Christmas and Write your Aunt Molly. Good bye." he kissed her head and left to find Poppy.
"Your father scares me." Leon spoke. The boys started to fuss and then slowly grew into full sized teens again. They stood in all their naked glory (minus the nappies) they still wore. "This is awkward." The other boy said slipping out of the room covering him with the blanket from the floor. "He's right this is a bit awkward."
"Yeah try having your best friend turned into a baby."
"Better yet try having your twin brother turned into a baby and then hold him while he drools onto your arm." The clock tolled. "Bloody hell I'm late." Aniu took off running she had a Quidditch try out to head to. Nothing some transfiguration and summoning couldn't fix.
