Petunia Evans (Dursley)

Petunia was finishing the dishes from breakfast and was relaxing back in her home after almost a year of been in hiding, she just loves her house and the sense of peace and comfort it came with it. Then she notices the owl in her mailbox.

"You have been summon by the Ministry of Magic on the date May 20, 1998, at noon in the Department of Wills, Office 1, for the reading of the last Will and Testament of Severus Snape, please check your assistance in the box below so the wizard in charge has everything set up for the reading, Ms. Evans the reading will be in the location selected by the deceased, I'll be coming to collected you myself a little earlier so we can travel to the location by muggle means, don't worry, the trip is barely an hour long."

Petunia was stunned, not only an owl had make a stop in her mail box, but the letter had her name on it, she finally got a letter for the wizard world and it was a summon.

She was re-reading it, it was about the will of someone call Severus, she can't remember a man call Severus, she vaguely remembers a boy that went by that name, the neglected kid at the other side of the river, greasy black hair and hooked nose, he used to be friend of Lily, why on earth was he summon her for the reading of his will? well Petunia Dursley was not going to go, what will Vernon say? What will she tell Dudley if she suddenly starts visiting that world? she definitely can't go, but then, the fine print of the summon caught her attention...

"This is an official summon for the Ministry of Magic, all of you are bound by law to attend, foreigners will be sanction with a ban-travel and a fine, for the time and amount that the wizard in charge of the will considers appropriate, citizen's wizards and muggles will be sanction with community service and a fine according to the wizard in charge or muggle authorities."

Well, a fine, whatever she tells to Vernon and Dudley didn't matter, she knows they will agree to not give them money, so she start thinking of an excuse, because whatever Petunia get from this Severus, she certainly will not share it with her family...

She checks the little box in the parchment and drop it when start to glowing...

Harry James Potter

Harry was having breakfast with Ginny in his house of Grimmauld Place, he was restoring the old manor and returning it to his former glory, or at least as much of glory as the place could have, also putting light on it and taking off the spell to make it visible to muggles and be part of the community...

Some of the changes including taking off the beheaded elf's, and removing the Black's family tree, he casted (with the help of the Ministry) his own family tree, he was aware that is mother was muggle-born, but even then, it was a very decent family tree, his father line was long...

They were chatting about more changes when an owl enters the window and leave the envelope in the dinner table, amused to see that it was from the Ministry and with his new address, not recognizing the department, he opens it and read...

"You have been summon by the Ministry of Magic on the date May 20, 1998, at noon in the Department of Wills, Office 1, for the reading of the last Will and Testament of Severus Snape, please check your assistance in the box below so the wizard in charge has everything set up for the reading, Mr. Potter, the reading will be in the location selected by the deceased, be prepared for a Portkey travel"

He was a little shock, Snape made a will? did he know he was going to die in the war? in any case he was going to attend, want to know why he was in the will also a part of him still feel indebted to him for all the years of undercover protection and for the bravery he always had, more than that, he feels that the inclusion in the will has more to do with his mother and he was curious about their relationship, he checks the box as a reflex...

He didn't pay attention to the fine print of the summon, he was busy testing Ginny lips covered in syrup...

Ronald Bilius Weasley

Ronald was livid, Ginny not only hadn't come back from her date with Harry, she had the audacity to didn't tell anyone that she will stay at his place and well, he could hear his mother rooming in the kitchen, so went out and saw George sit on the grass completely still, it was a rare sign, but without Fred he just look lost, so he sit next to him, in silence, until an owl with his name appear and even George got surprised, since that department was not very big or not often used, he read the summon with an increasing frown...

"You have been summon by the Ministry of Magic on the date May 20, 1998, at noon in the Department of Wills, Office 1, for the reading of the last Will and Testament of Severus Snape, please check your assistance in the box below so the wizard in charge has everything set up for the reading, Mr. Weasley, the reading will be in the location selected by the deceased, be prepared for a Portkey travel"

He felt like a rigor spell just came through him, Snape had a will? Snape was leaving something to him? he was rather curious, so he checks immediately, he didn't read the rest, he was static, it was the first time he had something that his brother's not, granted it was rather morbid, but he was in a point that he will take whatever come in his way...

For a second he wonders who else will be summon and with the help of George, they start to imagine who else might be there, of course he didn't tell his mother, knowing to well that she will not allow anything from that man to enter her house, but he knew better, he trust Harry and he said that Snape was brave and honorable so he will go to the reading even if his mother freeze hell trying to stop him...

Hermione Jean Granger

For the first time in her life she was completely and totally in silence, she not only endure her father silence disappointment, she had to endure her mother's guilt trip all the way from Australia, but now she was facing the prospect of not hearing the end of it until his mother run out of things to say, regarding privacy and decisions make for others, and certainly she was not done, her father however was a little more subtle, but Hermione didn't trust on this silence she knew her father was only biding his time to do a cut-knife remark, and that was something she was not ready for...

She was having breakfast with them trying to find a way to tell them she was going back to Hogwarts for her seventh year when an owl came by the window and leave an envelope in front of her, her father took it and read the legend, then he make his remark, asking Hermione if in a case of her death they would have received something like that or if their memories will be back or if because of the different name and all, they will spend the rest of their lives without knowing they had a daughter and that said daughter was dead.

She broke in tears in that moment, her father did wait a couple of seconds before putting the letter down and round the table to hold her steady, she grasps and grip his sweater until the tears end, she understands that her father was done with the guilt trip, he was more like one-time thing while her mother however, seem to have a lot more to give...

She took the letter, she never heard about that particular department, but she guesses it was one not usually used since the majority of the wizards have families or living wills, so she starts reading

"You have been summon by the Ministry of Magic on the date May 20, 1998, at noon in the Department of Wills, Office 1, for the reading of the last Will and Testament of Severus Snape, please check your assistance in the box below so the wizard in charge has everything set up for the reading, Ms. Granger, the reading will be in the location selected by the deceased, be prepared for a Portkey travel"

She was rather curious, like, why on earth will Snape leave something for her in his will? she was a little worried because he wasn't exactly a person who like her, granted, he was a demanding teacher and she was an excellent student, but her behavior towards him was a little less respectful that it should be, so she was rather intrigue about why will he left something for her in his will, she check immediately moved by curiosity, she also read the fine print of the message and smile, classic Snape, make people believe they have a choice in the matter when is him the one who pull all the strings...

Minerva McGonagall & Poppy Pomfrey

Minerva was having an excellent morning, she was watching the sunrise and thinking that finally everything was going to be boring and that was the way she liked, the last 20 years have been ones of too much sorrow and pain, starting with the uprising of Tom turned in Voldemort, going through the death of the Potters, the torture of the Longbottom's as well as the death of many members of the first and second Phoenix Order, all the story of Snape being a double agent, all that happen this last seven years, she often thought that she didn't deserve all the warm and love that Poppy give her, given all the grief and worries that she cause her, she often think about leave everything behind and just have a nice little cottage near the ocean watching the time pass, writing that spell book she had wanted to write since she was a freshman teacher and that was just collecting dust in a drawer of her office desk, a book for the next generations of wizards, with Poppy sitting next to her doing the same thing about the kind of injures suffer by students in Hogwarts, the pranks, the mistaken cursing, she often dream with that future, but Poppy love the school, love her job, she wasn't ready for retirement, not even after the Battle of Hogwarts, so they were in a little rented cottage in the Peak District, that muggle writer Austen was right about the place, it was gorgeous, they were just relaxing and enjoying their time together, they have seen so much in the last few days, the deaths and the broken families, Minerva was in the verge of crying, when she felt the arms of Poppy hugging her around the waist, giving her comfort, like always, knowing exactly when she needed a hug, she turned to look her in the eyes and after a tender kiss, she placed her forehead on hers and let her carried to the bench in front of the house where they remained embraced without any caring in the world...

They were finish breakfast when the owl find them, they hadn't told anyone were they have gone, they wanted to be left alone, but that was a Ministry letter directed to Minerva and Poppy, she was already appointed Headmaster, so it wasn't Hogwarts related and it was address to the both of them, since not many people know they were married, they were intrigued, she open the envelope recognizing to well the Department and reading it with a disgusting face, she was ready to put in on the trash when Poppy take it and read it...

"You have been summon by the Ministry of Magic on the date May 20, 1998, at noon in the Department of Wills, Office 1, for the reading of the last Will and Testament of Severus Snape, please check your assistance in the box below so the wizard in charge has everything set up for the reading Mrs. McGonagall-Pomfrey & Mrs. Pomfrey-McGonagall, the reading will be in the location selected by the deceased, be prepared for a Portkey travel"

Poppy smiled, she always had a soft spot for Severus, he always help her with potions and new recipes and he always request not to mention his help, sometimes make her look better that she was, but he knew about the animosity towards him, once she confide him about her fears for Minerva he had promise to keep her as safe has he could and he deliver, he protected her from the Carvers and in the great hall he deflect the spell she throw at him and killing them, then fled instead of fighting, in exchange he tell her about Lily and later on about the curse on Dumbledore, while he treat him and enlist her help during school hours to keep an eye on him making sure he take the potions and the ointments, she knew Dumbledore was going to die in agony, in a way, she understood why he kill him, it was a better death that the agony waiting for him, she didn't told Minerva back then, but she do it now taking the stance Minerva and her negative to assist, she was willing to pay the fine and the community service, but after what Poppy told her, she was oblige to go, so she check the box and hold her tight while they embrace and watch the sky, thinking how rare and incredible was that after all those years, after all that death and suffering they still were together, so she smile and hold on tight to the only person she ever love...

Viktor Krum

He was polishing his broom, after many months he finally had recovered, and didn't have anything planed for the summer, but he had an idea, he wanted to go to England, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named was finally death, so he will go and look for her, woo her and perhaps convince her to give him a chance, he can't apparate that distance and didn't want to ask Fleur for a Portkey, he'll never ear the end of it if he had to explain it, so he was going to fly there, since he can't use transport given his status as Quidditch star, too many fans, to long trip, he briefly consider travel muggle style but he find out that he need muggle papers and didn't have a reasonable cause to ask the Bulgarian Ministry of Magic for them. He was still pondering this when an English owl arrive to his little flat in Sofia, he read it and smile he finally had a cause valid enough to ask for travel papers or to get a Portkey directly connected to the English Ministry...

He walks through the doors of the Bulgarian Ministry and went to the international travel department to find out if he could have a Portkey, he did fly to the wedding of Fleur but even when he arrives a day earlier, he was sore for almost all the night, he prefers to avoid that situation all together if possible, he show the letter to the wizard in charge that read...

"You have been summon by the English Ministry of Magic on the date May 20, 1998, at noon in the Department of Wills, Office 1, for the reading of the last Will and Testament of Severus Snape, please check your assistance in the box below so the wizard in charge has everything set up for the reading, Mr. Krum the reading will be in the location selected by the deceased, be prepared for a Portkey travel"

Attach was a little handwritten letter "Mr. Krum we can open the flu network in Office 1 with one of your election in the Bulgarian Ministry or your home if the Bulgarian Ministry approves, if you choose to use this option, just spoke to the officers in the Bulgarian Ministry and inform me about the chosen location so we agree upon and do the process from both ends"

The wizard in charge question him about what he prefers and once they were in agreement, the Bulgarian wizard send a message to the English wizard and after receive the confirm of the process he check mark the box and prepare his bags also took the opportunity to request Muggle travel permit, maybe he will take her to see the world as muggles, for him it was better that way, he had a too well know face in the wizard world...

They still couldn't believe, they were in the will, they always tough he only gave them the will to make sure it get fulfill, they never expected to receive anything from him but maybe that was the reason behind he make them heirs, they never ask for more that he was willing to share, they never pressure or expect something, they were grateful, and of course they will be there, they never disrespect their friend, granted he did terrible things, but he was their friend and Aberforth knew he gave his brother a death with dignity, they may haven't spoke in years, but he knew about his condition, knew he was dying, so he was grateful for the service Severus provided to Albus...
