Ok First off thank you to all my reviewers. Obviously it was enough to
keep me going on this story. I'm glad everyone so far seems to like it.
Okay well since I'm continuing with this story I am looking for a beta. If anyone is interested let me know in an email. RianSvienSnape if you are still interested in helping me I would be grateful. Obviously my grammar is not all that great so please be patient with me I will try to make the story more reader friendly with the quote marks as suggested by Minerva- Severus-Dumbledor. Again I will try my best and Word spell and grammar check can only do so much. Thank you two so much for pointing out my mistakes I hope to do better. Until I get a beta I don't know if I'll be able to fix the first chapter or not just yet.
Special thanks to Lora for taking the time to send me an email when the review feature didn't work for her.
Also Special thanks Winnie and Patty for being my first ever reviews. Constructive Criticism is always appreciated as well as the wonderful encouragement. Now on with the story.

Chapter 2
United Fronts, Fighting, Teaching, and a unexpected house guest.
Quickly deciding Evan spoke to Drake. "Play it like we don't know them, we've discussed this Drake, we'll see how much they know before giving anything away. Is Bill going to be staying? I have a feeling that this will affect my job at the Dept. of Mysteries."
"Yeah he's staying told me after those two left the bar right before you and Jazzy came back."
"Alright, Good, tell Jazzy of our visitors when you get a chance." Then Evan turned and caught Bill's eye nodding his own thanks to his boss.
The rest of the night seemed to fly by very quickly, as it usually does when there is something you dread having to do. Soon it was closing time. The band had packed up and Rita and John had just left soon only Bill, Drake, Jazzy, Evan, and the two visitors were left, Drake grabbed a six pack of Bud light and they all walked over to the booth as they all knew it made for one hell of a united front. Jazzy being the only person who'd never met either me didn't have as much reservation as the others spoke up first.
"Guys wanna beer, or did you just wait around all night to sit there and stare?" She followed up by passing a beer to everyone weather they wanted it or not. The united front each opened theirs and took a drink.
The old man opened his own bottle and took a cautious sip and even managed to smile at the taste. He spoke next. "Well first off I would like to complement the owners of the club, it is quite entertaining. Next I would like to introduce myself, I am Albus Dumbledore Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and my friend here is Professor Severus Snape Hogwarts Resident Potions Master. Now who might all of you be, although I believe I do recognize one face in this group. Mr. Bill Masters Head of the American Dept of mysteries am I correct?"
"Yes your are it's a pleasure to see you again Headmaster please allow me to introduce Drake and Jasmine Evans along with Jasmines brother Mr. Evan James. What brings you here Headmaster?" "Please all of you call me Albus. Well actually I did send a letter to Mr. James about my arrival today, can I assume that you did not get it?"
"To be honest I probably did receive it and just haven't seen it yet."
"Well the letter was to formally offer Mr. James the Defense of the Dark Arts position (A/N like none of you saw that coming) at hogwarts for the upcoming school year starting on Sept. 1 but that all teachers are expected one week from Sunday which is why I am here in person instead of waiting for your reply."
More like if I tried to say no so you could talk me into it anyway Evan thought bitterly. He'd known ever since Drake told him who was here what they'd want. Hell if he was really honest he'd known ever since he'd left that this day would come no matter what. He knew he'd end up giving in but he wouldn't without one hell of a fight. Yes he owed this man much and always knew that he'd have to repay but damn if he was just going to go along peacefully. Thoughtfully he finally spoke. "Headmaster I don't believe I will be able to accept as you can see I do have responsibilities here, not to mention the fact that I do have another job at the Dept. of Mysteries."
"Might I speak with you in private please Mr. James?" The headmaster responded.
Deciding to finally speak up Snape said. "Albus you don't know him." He protested.
"Relax, Severus I promise you that Mr. James will not harm me in any way.
Drake and Evan exchanged a quick humorous glace before Evan interrupted the polite fight. "I promise Professor that I won't harm him in anyway during our chat. Although I will not promise that he will have a Defense teacher when we come back." With out waiting for approval Evan turned and made his way to a storeroom/office that he used for the bar. Albus followed as well leaving a very irritated and glaring potions Professor. After Albus walked in Evan immediately closed the door added locking charms, silencing spell and anti ease-dropping charms. Turning he faced his old mentor still giving nothing away. Albus searched his face curiously and quietly spoke.
"Harry it's time!"
Sighing he accepted it but he really wanted to make this clear.
"Albus I can't just leave I have responsibilities here. Does Snape know who I am?"
"No he doesn't! One year Harry, that's all I ask, please let me try to make it up to you."
Bitterly he spat! "Which part Albus? The abuse that my letter finally told you about or the fact that although you were fond of me I was pretty much just a tool in your little game. Please Albus, I will always be grateful for everything you have done for me I even don't blame you for the Dursleys. Hell, I somewhat understand the need for me to be a tool in the war. I have a family now, I have a life, maybe not the best life but it is my life. Harry Potter died that day when his usefulness was up. Please, let him rest in peace!" he pleaded.
"Harry please, I don't have many years left, I'm an old man, 1 year Harry, no one even has to know its you. If these people, your family, really are your family they'll be there for you. I realize that you don't want to face your past but you have to sometime Harry. I promise to never ask anything of you again. Please!" He whispered with silent tears running down his face. "Let me try, for both of our sakes."
Finally Evan gave in and spoke gently. "Alright, Alright, but I do have conditions that are nonnegotiable."
"Name it."
"Jazzy and Drake come with me. They don't have to teach but they must be allowed to stay in the castle."
"Are you sure? Can they be trusted? How much do they really know about you?" he replied questioningly.
"They know more than even you do Albus and yes they can and are trusted with my life everyday, as well as, having each saved my life many times over."
"Alright done. What else?"
"it will be like you said, no one will know who I really am. I will be known as Evan James, You tell no one not Minerva not Severus, No one."
"I will agree, but, I will ask you to at least tell one person. Who doesn't really matter as much as telling someone you knew back then, someone who might understand. Please, at least consider it."
Sighing he replied. "I will consider it but I won't promise, that is the best I can do right now."
"Thank you Harry, and weather you believe it or not I have and always will love you."
"I know Great Grandpa, I know! Please call me Evan from now on. Okay?"
"Alright Evan, now I do happen to also have another teaching position open for Ancient Runes. Do either Mr. or Mrs. Evans have any background for this subject?"
"I would ask Jazzy she's good in that area."
"Hmm I believe I will. Now I do have a request for you, you can say no and I will not protest but I will ask you to at least consider. Severus needs a break. I was hoping that he might be able to stay with you here until next Saturday. When he would, of course, accompany all of you to Diagon Alley for any supplies you might need and then to Hogwarts. I know he won't agree with this readily so I must make it look like he would be doing me a favor by staying. He badly needs a vacation away from Hogwarts and the press and the people who still consider him a Deatheater."
Considering contemplatively he answered. " I have no problems with this but we will all be working both at the ministry and the bar so we won't have much time to entertain him. This decision, however, is not just up to me I will speak to Jazzy and Drake about it."
With that they left the makeshift office and entered back to the main room approaching the table just as Everyone excluding Snape who glared menacingly, started laughing.
Addressing the group. "Now what could possibly be so funny?" He asked Drake.
"It seems the Professors new found fame doesn't quite agree with him. Apparently it seems fame is not everything." he replied sharing a look with Evan. "I know the feeling." Evan replied softly so only Drake could hear. "Drake, Jazzy a moment real quick." He asked starting back toward the bar and they followed quietly.
"What's up?" Jazzy asked curiously.
"Albus asked if Snape could stay with us until we leave for Hogwarts next Saturday. It is alright for me as long as it is okay with you two. Apparently he needs a vacation where no one know who he is."
"So you took the job then?" Drake asked.
"Yes but only as long as no one knows about you know and that you two come with me and at least stay at Hogwarts."
"Well his staying is fine with me. But how are we going to do work?" Jazzy asked.
"Well Albus is going to offer you the Ancient Runes position but that is entirely up to you. I have no idea about you though Drake."
"Well I can always apparate back and forth but no matter I have a week to figure things out, maybe I could transfer to the British Ministry Dept. of Mysteries. We'll see."
"Okay so Snape can stay then it's settled" Evan asked. They both nodded their agreement.
"Alright then lets go back and join them shall we." They went back and sat down. Evan caught Albus's twinkling eyes and gave a nod of approval.
"Well Severus it seems I managed to talk Mr. James into the position. Actually Mrs. Evans I also seem to be in need of a Ancient Runes Professor as well. Evan here said you might be interested?"
"Please call me Jazzy and yes I believe I would be thank you."
"Well then my dear Jazzy it is all settled then. Well then Severus it seems that they will be needing an escort to Hogwarts via Diagon Alley. They have offered to let you stay the week with them here so you don't have to apparate across the pond 4 times in one week."
"Headmaster, truly it would.." Severus started only to be cut off by a look which he returned with what Evan used to call a level 4 glare (for people who really annoyed the hell out of you).
"Now Severus you know I wouldn't suggested this if it wasn't important. Consider yourself officially on vacation here as of now until a week from tomorrow."
Severus glared at everyone but mostly the headmaster after that he decided it wasn't worth the argument when he knew he wouldn't win anyway. "Wonderful!" he sneered.
"Now Albus." Bill spoke up just realizing what all of this meant. "You realize you are stealing two of my best unspeakable away from me."
Evan spoke up. "Well actually Bill you don't really expect Drake to not go with Jazzy now do you?"
"Ah, Hell, Damn you Dumbledore!" He glared halfheartedly at the man.
Everyone but Snape who was still sneering at Albus, laughed. Severus apparently having just processed this turned to the 4 asking. "All of you work for the Dept. of Mysteries then." with his usual snarl.
Bill answered, "Yes, actually these 3 are my best team. They've brought in more Evil wizards and Deatheaters than any 3 of my other teams combined."
"Really." he replied skeptically still sneering of course but it was only a level 2 (I really don't want to be here look.)
Bill replied. "Yes, oh and Dumbledore I do want them back."
Jazzy looked at Drake and Evan and asked. "Are we property now or should we be flattered that he's fighting over us."
Evan looked at them all then stated "I believe I'm going to be flattered because I would really hate to have Bill find out we don't like to be considered as property, I daresay he'd never see his normal hair and skin color again if he did."
At that Bill prudently shut up. Especially when Drake added that he would very much like to see the fluorescent pink hair again.
Bill looked at Albus almost pityingly at all of this and the spoke. "Hell, forget what I said Albus take them and good riddance." The next thing he knew he at said pink hair with a love bright neon green skin complexion to go with it. Courtesy of Drake and Jazzy. Even Snape laughed this time and once Bill saw his reflection even he had to admit it was funny even though it was hideous.
Even replied with a very sympathetic. "I'm sure it will wear off eventually. It really doesn't pay to upset a red headed female and her husband you know."
"Well on that note it is getting late and I believe it is time for me to be getting back to Hogwarts. Bill it was good to see you again. As for the rest of you I look forward to seeing you all a week from Saturday."
"I believe I shall be going as well Evan, Drake I'll see you guys sometime tomorrow I expect. Professor Snape good to met you I'll probably see you again as well. Goodnight all." He said as he went upstairs to floo home.
"Headmaster, Albus I will walk you out." Jazzy said standing.
"I would be delighted my dear."
As soon as they left the building Jazzy spoke. "Sir I mean no disrespect but if you plan on anything that could possibly cause my brother more pain than he has already been though. I want you to know that you will have to answer to me. I am not nearly as forgiving as he is." She warned.
"My only wish is for him to be happy my dear. I am also very glad to see he was able to find some people he could trust while he has been gone."
"He has a family now don't try to come between us."
"My dear, he has always had a family at Hogwarts one that has missed him very much. Now it seems he has extended that. I am happy for him and would never dream of trying to harm those relationships."
"We shall see Headmaster. Now let me give you a boost, your tired." before he could accept or reject her ambiguous offer she laid a hand on his shoulder and poured some of her energy through to him. The energy surged within him more than enough to keep him safe while apparating. Of course this meant that he would have quite the access of energy for the next couple of days and most likely be quite hyper. Turning Jazzy entered back into the bar laughing mischievously.
Drake and Evan recognizing that laugh groaned. Drake asked accusingly. "What did you do?"
" Oh I just gave him a little boost that's all." She replied eyes glinting with mirth.
The two groaned again and their guest looked at her suspiciously before almost yelling. "What do you mean a boost if you've hurt him."
"Calm down Professor. I've done nothing that could possibly harm him. I just wanted to make sure he would make it back alright. He's old and has been up all day, most of the night, and probably quite tired. So I gave him some energy. He'll just be a little hyper a bit for a couple of days at most I'm afraid I did over do it a little."
"Oh." he replied noncommittally.
Meanwhile back at Hogwarts a pop sounded and an old man appeared practically skipping his way up to the front entrance.
{Haven't felt this good since I was 40} he thought. Needless to say he drove the others crazy for the next four days and still had energy to go around.
Meanwhile Drake, Jazzy, and Evan all wondered how the week was going to go with their unexpected houseguest. Severus wondered on the other hand how he would manage to get back at Albus for his forced vacation but decided to try and make the best of it. Especially since he didn't have to be a mean bastard deatheater anymore and maybe just maybe he could have some friends. Not to mention Evan James was quite delectable, but something in the mans eyes alone drew him in. He wondered if perhaps Evan was gay or if that was just his wishful thinking.

So guys good, bad , worse than ugly?
Is the formatting better?
Please let me know I tried to fix this one better than chapter one. Obviously really bad with grammar and especially run on sentences but I tried not too. Would love a beta.
Should I continue?
Please Review!!!
