Severus Snape was curled up in a chair in front of the open fire in an
antechamber of Snape manor.
~Far better than teaching~ thought Severus, ~much more productive to read about one of the best potions masters in history Somiel Snape. Few knew he even kept a journal never mind that it had survived a thousand years. ~
The fire flickered casting shadows over the book. ~I'll read another few passages then get some sleep~ thought Severus.
# .I've never seen an insane wizard go to those extremes. He tried to destroy London because one of his spells went wrong. Only problem is he's one of the strongest wizards in England. The only way to bring him down was to diminish his power. It is the first (and hopefully last) time I have had to brew a potion to harm a friend of mine. It takes a wizards strength down to the last drop. He would be lucky to be able to light a candle after taking it. It is actually a simple potion. All you need is.#
Severus froze. ~It cannot be that simple, just give the Dark Lord a potion and remove his power. ~ It took a moment for the realisation to sink in. ~I have just found a way to bring down the Dark Lord without bloodshed. ~ He had to tell Dumbledore.
Severus apparated to Hogsmead and walked towards Hogwarts. No-one watching would have noticed he had an old book in his hand.
He arrived at the entrance to Dumbledore's office. "Sherbet lemons" he said and the staircase came into view. ~How could a man like Dumbledore adore sweets so much? It was beyond reason. ~
What brings you here at this time of night Severus? It was 3.00am and Albus sat at his desk. ~Does he ever sleep? ~ Wondered Severus
" I have found a way to rid Voldemort of his magic" Severus said calmly keeping his face expressionless.
