The New Prophecy
Chapter 12
Alex went to breakfast his eighteen year old self. Everyone was drooling over him. He looked nicer than his dad had at that age, if a little more on the skinny side. He sat next to his dad while Rachel, Daniel, Serena, Damien, and Iris sat at the Gryffindor table eating, each their normal selves, too. Some of the Slytherins looked at them all in disdain that they were not able to tell their lord the news they had learned.
Everyone else was looking at them in wonder. Dumbldore was taken right to Azkaban, no trial. They didn't need any other proof, nor could they talk about it. They had his diary, well a copy anyway, as well as a good look at whom they had thought were Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ronald Weasley, Ginny Weasley, Luna Lovegood, and Neville Longbottom. They knew that they were from lines that people had thought died out. The Prewett, Snape, Rockwood, Evans, and also the Black line, with Sirius being the last male and in Azkaban, they had thought he would be the last.
No one else knew about Dumbldore being in Azkaban and no one would know of his wrong doings until Harry took the charm off them. He was powerful enough to take it off them without even being there. The six then left the hall and started their dueling and also their elemental practice. Everyone watched wide eyed. It was then most of the Slytherins realised the dark lord was a small boy compared to these six. Their magic was incredible.
The weeks went by. Alex spent the nights getting to know his dad and during the day, he practised magic. Lots of the Slytherins had asked him to help them and he had he started the DA back up, but the name was officially Defence Association. The house rivalry, like it said in the prophecy, did stop. There were no longer people saying as they walked the hall, 'Slytherins are evil', nor did people think Huffelpuffs were the weakest. They had found three healers in Huffelpuff, natural healers, as well as two in Gryffindor, Neville and Ginny though Neville liked his plants better.
Alex and Sev were closer than ever. They told each other everything. They had even experienced them, too, thanks to a pensieve. They told each other their dreams, what they wanted to do. Sev wanted to be able to get to know his son and brew potions to his heart's content. Alex wanted to go on holiday and collect potions ingredients as well as start a family.
Sev was happy about that. He had always wanted a family and Lily and Alex had been his family, which seemed a lifetime ago. He was a young father, if Lily was alive he would bet she would still be having children and making a huge family. With a sad smile he told Alex more about the family he didn't know. He also told him about the Snape family, after all he was a Snape.
The D.A was doing better than Alex had hoped. They were going faster than any Auror operation program could go. Most of them were animagus, also a few metamorphmagus that didn't know they were, healers, empathys, scanners, and bird speakers. Most of those whom had talents concentrated on them. The healers were obviously going to heal the wounded and after school get an apprenticeship from a Master Healer.
They learned transfiguration, defence against the dark arts, charms, everything they could, even the dark arts. Dumbldore would have had a heart attack if he knew what they were doing under Hogwarts' roof. All Alex could think was that it was a good job he was not there.
They also learned how to apparate, how to work around their elemental abilities, and how to create portkeys, also a few other things that could come in handy. The ones who were good at potions made explosives.
It was not until they had been training for three months that Iris had her first vision. Voldemort was going to attack Hogsmeade. It was in front of everyone that she said it and everyone was adament that they were going to help, leaving them no choice but to let them come.
"Ahhhhh! Hogsmeade is under attack tonight, we have to help!" she yelled as she woke up, having fallen into a vision in the Room of Requirement.
"We will help. Let's go Rachel, Dan, Serena, Damien, Iris," yelled Alex as he pushed passed everyone. Then one of them caught his arm and stopped him.
"We want to help or die trying. We need to get Voldermort before he kills our friends and family," said one of them. Then the others all began yelling in agreement. Alex knew he was not going to get them to change their minds and shrugged his shoulders.
"Fine, let's go. We don't have time according to Iris, it's tonight," said Alex as they all headed for the one eyed witch with the hump. He untangled himself and walked to his fathers quarters. He was going to apparate from the school which as the heir he could.
Once he got to his father's quarters he entered them. When his dad saw him he asked in concern, "Alex are you alright?" Alex looked knackered, dead on his feet.
"Voldermort's attacking Hogsmeade and I'm going to finish it tonight. Tonight the prophecy will be fulfilled. I don't know if I will get out alive, but I have to do this. Just promise me something," said Alex.
Severus looked ready to cry, but didn't let them fall. He had known for some time what lay ahead for his son. Severus just nodded his head. He would promise his son anything, anything he could give him.
"Promise me you will stay here," said Alex.
Severus looked ready to protest, but at his son's look he caved, "Ok I promise." Severus was looking like Alex had just said he would not be coming back.
Alex walked over and hugged his dad for all he was worth with Severus hugging back just as much. Then Alex spoke and Severus felt his heart break. "Dad, I may not have had long with you, but it's the best it has ever been, best I've ever been in my life. I love you. You gave me my wish. All I had ever wished for was a family. I cried for days when I realised what I had missed out on. I love you and promise me if I don't get back, you won't blame yourself or kill yourself. Promise you will live on and find someone to love you just as much as mum and I did," said Alex, crying into his dad's shoulder. He wished he had longer, just in case.
"I promise," was all he got before he backed away, not once looking back because he knew he would not go if he stayed a second longer. He loved his dad more than he had ever thought possible and he would rather die than see his father in servitude any longer.
With that, for the first time since Hogwarts A History was written, Harry apparated from within Hogwarts to his fate. He was facing the unknown, but for the first time he had a real purpose. For the first time in ages, the houses of the Hogwarts four was united and together they would decide the fate of the wizarding world. Harry thought of them all as brothers and sisters and hoped they would all come out alive. The rest of the students were not as close as Rachel, Damien, Iris, Serena, and Daniel were, but he cared for them all.
