I don't own Ranma 1/2, KHR, HP, Sherlock, or any Marvel Characters!
Quick Note: It always surprises me when I get near the end of a story, because I always think that it will be sooner, but then it turns out to be later. Then, when it's later, I think it's too soon.
greenespeon1995: Thanks, I think so too.
Shinigami: I think you meant season, not session, but pretty much. I'm debating about saying what the Varia are doing, because my imagination can be rather graphic, and well... sometimes letting the reader imagine things is the best way to go. Luna's Flame will be revealed later. No, Neville is not going to be a Guardian. I have plans for him.
foxchick1: I know, that's how I felt when I first started writing those two together. It's odd, but it works.
FANactic Writer: Yes! Finally! Someone else uses "Dumb-as-a-door!" Oddly enough, if you look up the meaning of "dumb" it means that the thing you are referring to can't speak, & doors can't talk. It totally works! Sorry, I get too technical sometimes. Thanks, I just felt there needed to be a little syrup to balance out all of the vengeance/violence. That, and those Ravenclaws need a serious telling off for their treatment of Luna.
Tying Up Loose Ends
It was amazing how quickly the Varia had taken care of most of Voldemort's forces. They were still missing a few, one being Lucius Malfoy, another was Dolohov, and lastly Avery Nott. Of course, Voldemort was still at large, and not being able to locate him had made the assassins a bit twitchy. However, Squalo had managed to track down a large poisonous viper being booted out of a train headed towards Britain, but that had been a while ago.
Of course, the Varia had no idea how close to getting Voldemort and Nagini that they had been. As Nagini was traversing the sewers to reach her destination of Scotland and Hogwarts. After all, Harry Potter was a loose end that must be eliminated.
Inside Amelia's office at the Ministry...
"Wait, you're telling me that Severus isn't just a reformed Death Eater, but he betrayed Dumbledore?" Amelia Bones frowned as Nana stood up for the Slytherin Head of House, who was standing right next to her.
"Exactly, he's a triple agent, if you want to get technical. He had three masters, Voldemort, Dumbledore, and himself. He finally realized that to protect Harry and Draco, he'd have to betray both of the others. He made an oath to protect Harry, after all," Nana informed Amelia.
"He did?" Amelia frowned.
"I'm a Seer, Amy. I saw him swear on his magic to protect Lily's son. Draco is his Godson. When his other masters threatened those oaths, he took action. Also, Dumbledore has been blackmailing Mr. Snape into being a teacher here. He tried everything he could to get out of it, legally, but Dumbledore over-ruled him. So, in conclusion, Mr. Snape should be released from his school position. You could claim it's in reparation for anything out of turn he did as a Death Eater, if you need to, but make sure that they all know that he helped save Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy," Nana advised.
Severus Snape looked at Nana with a look of shock, horror, and surprise all meshed into one, "..."
"Relax, Mr. Snape, I already have a possible job opportunity lined up for you," Nana gently patted the man on his shoulder. "No kids, or at least not little kids."
"Exactly why are you championing me, Mrs. Yamamoto?" Snape finally asked when he got his head around what she'd done.
"Because, you helped Harry and Draco," Nana smiled back. "That and Sirius may disagree with me, but I think you've both grown up just a bit from when you were kids."
"Black?" Snape looked a bit confused about everything.
"My elder half-brother. Like I told you earlier, we all blame Walburga for his poor manners," Nana smiled at the man.
"What?!" Snape spat out in shock, as Nana got the nod from Amelia to take him and leave.
"Nana, I'll be rounding up the others hidden in the Ministry. Mr. Snape, to your knowledge, are there any others I should be aware of?" Amelia asked him.
"Rookwood is in the Unspeakables. Meadows is in Care of Magical Creatures Office. Scridgemore in your department. Umbridge isn't a Death Eater, but is a known supporter. Those are the only ones Lucius told me about or I met with," Snape shook off more of his confusion.
"Understood. The D.M.L.E. thanks you for your service to Magical Britain, Mr. Snape. However, in light of recent findings, you will need to vacate your job as a Professor and Potions Master at Hogwarts, as to compensate for your crimes," Amelia stated cooly. "Warren, get in here and bring Shacklebolt!"
"Wonderful! Now, would you like to go back to the castle and pack now, or would you like to meet your prospective co-worker?" Nana clapped her hands happily.
"You are certain you're Black's sister?" Snape raised a dubious eyebrow.
"Goblin proved," Nana shrugged. "What do you want to do?"
"You remind me a lot of Lily, more-so than Black," Snape mumbled. "Who would be my employer?"
"You're looking at one third of them!" Nana chuckled as she rubbed the back of her head. "However, your partner has been dubbed as the next Di Vinci of Science..."
"Partner?" Snape frowned, "Who?"
"Ever heard of Verde?" Nana smiled, "Oh, and the Company is Hibari Tech."
"Hibari?" Snape raised an eyebrow.
"My adopted family," Nana shrugged. "Wait until you meet Fon and Mai, they will love you!"
Snape looked at her doubtfully, but went along with her insanity, for now, as she reminded him a lot of Lily when she got an idea in her head and was sure it would work out.
When they arrived at the Hibari Hotel, Nana was about to introduce Mai and Fon to Snape, when she got a call on her cell, "Excuse me. Nana here...We did?... It went through? Great! When do I gain custody?... Okay, I'll be there shortly. Sorry to cut this short, Mr. Snape. Fon, Mai, this is Mr. Severus Snape. He's a prospective partner for Verde at Hibari Tech. Please introduce the two. Please introduce him to Verde and show him everything. Sorry to leave you, Mr. Snape, but I have to be at a courthouse to get my newest ward from Andy and the judge. Have fun!" Nana ran out the door.
"Ward? Doesn't she have too many already?" Winston Granger blinked at the Hibari siblings in confusion.
"That was about Dudley Dursley. Nana must have just gotten custody of him. He needs a lot of discipline," Mai sighed. "He's also Harry's muggle cousin."
In other areas, Frank, Alice, and Augusta Longbottom had arrived at Longbottom Manor, accompanied by Auror Tonks.
"Thanks for doing this, Auror Tonks," Alice smiled at the young Auror before her as they entered the property. The wards immediately recognized the Longbottoms, and the fact that Tonks was friendly.
"Mipsy, bring Algie down here," Frank ordered as they entered the foyer.
"Master Frank! Mistress Alice! Yous back!" Mipsy squeaked happily and quickly hugged her master and mistress briefly before rushing off to do as asked.
"What is all the commotion about, Augusta? I barely could get anything out of Mipsy..." Algie began, and then paled when he saw Frank and Alice, "It can't be. Frank? Alice? But- But- They assured me that you were permanently gone!"
"Auror Tonks, please arrest this man on multiple accounts of attempted murder, sabotage, and attempted line theft," Frank glared at Algie. "You shouldn't have tried it with my family."
"Agusta! You can't let them do this to me!" Algie yelped, just as Auror Tonks sent an incarcerous spell at him.
"If I had known and been in my right mind, I'd never have allowed it. Good bye, Algie," Augusta turned away from her brother-in-law as he was taken away by Auror Tonks.
