Au: I don't own Harry potter I did make up some characters.

"Walking through the school at this time of night is usually prohibited by all means" McGonagall said, " but since your with a teacher your ok"

"I don't break rules Professor" Albus replied

"Hard to believe Mr. Potter, when your uncles were famous rule breakers, your brothers a nut, and your father broke some rules in his day too" McGonagall said amusingly.

"I'm the sane one in the family" Albus said agreeing with her that her brother was a nut.

"Do you still teach Transfiguration Professor?" Albus asked.

"No I am not. I'm getting old. This might be my last year hear at Hogwarts. It will be sad when I leave here, this place has that effect on people" McGonagall replied.

"Who will be your successor " Albus asked.

"Well, I'm hoping your father will return to the place he once called home and be the headmaster but if he does not Mr. Longbottom will make a excellent replacement. " McGonagall said.

"Finally we are here" McGonagall said suddenly as they approached a stone gargoyle at the end of a very long and narrow corridor

"Password?" spoke the stone gargoyle.

"Nargles" McGonagall said.

"What's a nargle professor?" Albus said.

"No Idea" McGonagall replied.

The stone Gargoyle leaped aside and a spiral staircase twirled up into the Headmistresses office. The office was full of gold and silver instruments. It also had a perch where a owl was sleeping, and a pensive in the far right corner. All of the Headmasters and Headmistresses seemed to wake up when McGonagall and Albus entered the room.

"I'll leave you now young one, I feel you want to do this on your own, be careful of Severus" McGonagall said as she left the office.

With that McGonagall left the office leaving Albus to wonder witch portraits of the fallen Headmasters and Headmistresses were Albus Dumbledor and Severus Snape.

"Am I dreaming, or is that... " came a cold voice.

"No, I believe you are quite mistaken, look at his forehead there is no scar." a different voice said, "He does look exactly like Harry, he even has..."

"Lily's eyes" said the same cold voice but this time a little softer.

Albus stood and looked at the portraits that spoke. One was of a very old looking man with shiny silver hair and half moon glasses. The other was a younger man with black grease hair and cold black eyes.

"Mr. Snape?" Albus said.

"Obviously" a reply came from the portrait of the man with black eyes.

"It's a honor to meet you sir. My father told me..." Albus started.

"That I was horrible, cruel and evil?" Snape finished.

"No why would you think that ?" Albus said

"I have my reasons" Snape replied

"No, He told me that you were the bravest man he ever meant, thats why I'm named after the two of you" Albus said.

"Named after us?" Dumbledor asked.

"Yes, I'm Albus Severus Potter" Albus replied.

Dumbledor and Snape looked at the boy in awe. Dumbledor then smiled triumphantly

"I guess Harry did not hate you Severus" Dumbledor said.

"He should of, I was cruel to him" Severus said.

"You must forgive your self Severus or you will never rest peacefully" Dumbledor said.

"What are you two talking about ? " Albus said.

"What Harry has never told you about his past?" Dumbledor said as is he were surprised

"No he says not to worry about his past yet, he will tell me when the time comes " Albus replied.

"Well owl him at once, tell him Dumbledor said he is making the same mistake that an old man made with him, tell him that when he gets some time to tell you everything " Dumbledor said.

"Yes sir" Albus said.

"Now, I have a gift for you. If you would go to the sorting hat and reach inside" Dumbledor said.

Albus did as he was told and went over to the stool where the sorting hat was on top off. He reached in and found a end of a sword and pulled it out. It was goblin made and had rubies on it.

"Ah only a true Gryffindor could pull that out,"Dumbledor said "Now its yours keep it."

"Oh and one last thing before I depart I do believe that Fawkes will need a new owner. Take care of him please, he means a lot to me. " Dumbledor said.

A young phoenix appeared out of fire and ash on the table. He began to croak as if he were trying to sing a song. As soon as the phoenix appeared Dumbledor left his portrait.

" Mr. Snape it was nice meeting you. " Albus said and began to turn and leave. He had a feeling he was forgetting something and he turned around looked and green and black eyes meet once more.

"Before you leave I have something too, lift my portrait gently and you will find some things. " Snape said softly.

Albus did as he was told and gently lifted the portrait. Under the portrait was a hole. Albus reached inside and found a velvet box, a wand and an old potions book. He opened the box, and inside was a gold necklace with a lion as the pendant.

"Thank you" Albus said.

"The necklace was supposed to be for Lily but then I called her..." Snape didn't finish and tears ran down his now soften face. Albus put the necklace around his neck.

"I wish I could go back and turn back the hands of time and maybe everything would be different" Snape said.

Albus didn't say anything he just watched Severus cry. He felt sorry for him. He then picked up Snape's old wand and felt a sudden warmth spread through his fingers. It was a feeling Albus couldn't describe, like he could see his future with this wand.

"I'm keeping this wand as my own Mr. Snape" Albus said.

"Go head Albus," Snape said, If you ever need anything or any help with anything come find me, its the best I can do to repay your grandmother and Harry. When you write him tell him Severus said he was sorry for everything."

"Yes Mr. Snape" Albus said.

"Don't call me that, you can call me Sev" Snape added.

Albus waved and turned to go to the door.

"My dad was right about you Sev, your are the bravest man he ever meant and I probably won't meet anyone braver" Albus said, then he turned and looked into the mans eyes one more time and smiled. Snape smiled back.

"It's time for you to go to bed Al, tomorrow will be a long day" Snape said. Albus waved and left. Professor McGonagall was waiting for him and escorted Albus to Gryffindor tower. She told him the password, which was Caput Draconis, and Albus immediately wrote his dad.

Dear Dad:
I have talked to Dumbledor and Snape. Your right about Sev. I have come to respect him a lot. Sev gave me his old wand, so I will be sending you back my new one. This one feels like it was destined for me. I like Sev. Dumbledor says your making the same mistake he did when you were younger and too tell me about your past as soon as possible. The train ride was great and I made a couple of new friends. I meant Scorpius Malfoy, he insulted our family so I hexed him. A guy named Jimmy Chang also mentioned you, he said his mom used to fancy you in school. Send mom my love.

Love Albus

PS. Dumbledor also gave me a Phoenix!!!

Albus gave the letter to his owl and closed his eyes and fell asleep.
