Professor Snape glanced at his watch with a small frown. If those foolish lions believe that their being from the future will keep me from taking points or dispensing detentions…they are firmly mistaken. He placed his watch back into the pocket of his robes as he heard the very familiar crack of apparition. He raised an eyebrow as first Harry and Ginny appeared followed mere seconds by Hermione and Ron.

"Cutting it a touch close to curfew aren't we Mr. Potter?" Snape sneered down at the grinning twelve-year-old boy who shrugged up at him.

"I think you'd have been disappointed if we hadn't Professor, in fact, we want you to give us detention." Harry reached into his pocket pulling out the letter his Mum had given him to give Snape along with the picture. "Here Mum said this will explain everything."

Snape took the sealed envelope from the boy's grubby hand. "Potter, didn't you learn how to use a bar of soap in the last ten years?" He sighed as Ron snorted but smirked as he heard Hermione smack him in the head followed by an "ow" from the equally grubby boy

"Well, it's been a long weekend? I'd also like to state that I am far closer to the ground than I was as an auror." Harry rubbed the back of his head as he wondered just how much trouble his original twelve-year-old self would have gotten into from responding to such a baiting statement as that.

If there was no other way to prove we had come from the future Gin the fact that I don't rise to everything that Snape says… I really had a temper, didn't I?

Ginny snuggled to Harry listening to his heart as Snape opened the letter and read it in silence. You said it Harry, not me. What was it that Hermione always said The first step is admitting you have a problem? She grinned as Harry snorted

During the few minutes, it took for Snape to read and reread the letter he kept part of his attention on the time travelers in front of him. "Well, then I have good news for the four of you. However, I noticed that your… to be adoptive Mum requested I travel to Azkaban? I'm sorry did you mistakenly mix up that hellscape with the Muggle Disney World?"

While waiting for an answer from Harry who he had now focused his full attention upon he burned the letter and envelope.

"Ah, right…we uh…well…Hermione?" Harry glanced hopefully at his big sister with his newly developed little brother puppy eyes.

"I asked YOU, Mr. Potter, not your to-be adoptive sister, and I as such expect you to answer. You four are already losing ten points apiece for being late for curfew and I assure you we will not be moving until you explain why a muggle has requested that I A marked former death eater go to that… place!" Snape hissed out causing Harry's green eyes to focus upon his own black ones. "And for every minute you stall I will take a further ten points each. Are we understood?"

Harry glanced back to the ground before taking a deep breath and returning his attention to Snape. No longer was he playing the part of the twelve-year-old whose body he now inhabited, no Snape was right. He was a grown man and more than that he was an auror.

"I apologize Professor Snape however, I must request that we speak in your office." Harry held out his hand to stop Snape from responding. "I assure you that if you do not agree with my request after I tell you what you need to know you may take one hundred points from me and have me cleaning cauldrons until the last call for the Express back home. I must insist." Harry paused "Please, this has everything to do with the murder of my Mother."

Snape had been imagining just how many cauldrons and other types of cleaning he'd be able to sentence the child to when he frowned. "About Lily…" He took a deep breath before turning and unlocking the gates walking purposely to the entrance "I suggest you keep up!"

Harry shrugged at the others before he grabbed Ginny's hand and jogged after Snape.

Snape pointed his wand at his desk summoning four chairs to face him. After a moment of thought, he added a fifth. "Buttons!"

Almost instantly a nervous house-elf appeared. "Yes, Master Potion Maker what is Buttons to do for yous?"

"Fetch student Draco Malfoy from the second year dorm within Slytherin dorm. Inform him I expect him in my office five minutes ago. Understand?" Snape growled out as he sat behind his desk.

"Yeses! Master Potinion Maker Buttons understands five minutes ago!" And he popped away.

"Sit, Since this obviously will discuss the future. I found it a wise choice to invite the fifth of your little team."

"That, honestly was a good idea, sir. Ron, Hermione, and I are well, we're used to being on our own in these types of situations." Harry explained as he sat in the middle chair knowing that Snape would prefer to look at him as he explained. Ginny sat on his right with Hermione taking the seat on his left leaving the final seat on the right for Draco who raced in moments later.

Draco paused in the doorway and ran his fingers through his hair he had just been trying to sleep wondering what his Tori was doing right now. "Sir, I'm sorry sir did I forget a meeting?"

"Shut the door Mr. Malfoy and sit down. Mr. Potter was just about to explain to me why exactly his to-be adoptive mother has requested me to visit Azkaban." Snape watched as Draco took a seat beside Ginny.

Harry gave a small smile at Draco before returning his full attention to Snape. His mind went back to the memories that the man had given him with his final breaths. He sat up straight. "Sir, I know that you and my mother were best friends. I know th-that the reason Voldemort knew about the prophecy was because you told him." Harry held his hand out as he noticed Snape was starting to turn colors.

"No, please sir, listen you asked me why we needed you to go there. And please…" Harry locked eyes with Snape and paused knowing the only thing that could repair what was about to happen. Harry stood up "Sir, I am lowering my defenses. I trust you." And with that, Harry handed his wand to Ginny and stood still.

Snape was struggling with the desire to throw all five of them out of his office and going straight to Dumbledore. How dare he! After everything that I have already done! He cleared his mind taking a deep breath. So Potter wanted to do it this way… Well, he'd regret that… Snape took out his wand and stood up with a snarl but paused as he once more saw Lily's eyes…remembering how they stared lifelessly up at him. The thought of seeing them like that again. His eyes... they are trusting me. He isn't his father.

"Legilimens." He whispered entering the boy's mind as softly as he could. He wouldn't leave it again for another twenty minutes.

It was apparent to the five-time travelers that his opinion of them had greatly shifted during those twenty minutes. Even more, than it had. They all sat in silence as Snape seemed lost in thought finally he nodded.

"Give me the picture I'll head there tonight. Also Tuesday evening I expect all of you to report back here for detention. Now. Goodnight Mr. Potter, Mrs. Potter, Mr. Weasley, Mrs. Granger, and Mr. Malfoy." He sat back down as the five of them filed out of his office once Harry had handed him the picture. He stared at it a moment before writing on the back.

Go here you stupid Mutt…They'll be there He added the Granger's address hoping Lily had taught the idiot to read a map.

"Like a pig to slaughter… Not this time… Not this time." He stood up and frowned "...I had better also contact the wolf, oh goody…"
