World of Ruins

Summery: The war has ended and as such people start showing their real colors. Harry Potter disappears, Why did he, where did he go, and who are those two kids that seem to belong to Severus? Snarry, creature fic, MPreg, bashing of certain Weasleys, Hermionie, and somewhat of Snape.

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.

Chapter one: Cracks in the Glass

- Eleven years later -

"Asp, Love, Could you come down here for a minute please?" Evan calls up the stairs to his twins. It felt like just yesterday he had given birth to the two most precious things in his life nowadays. He had a hard time believing that already the stress of sending them to school was upon him.

But he would do what no one had done for him and allow them access to everything.

Looking at the six letters on the coffee table Evan hears the twins, both properly named if he did say so himself, come down the stairs. Lovage nagging Asphodel to put down the potions book while he was walking. Asphodel snarking back that unlike a certain dunderhead he was perfectly capable of multi-tasking.

Coming into the living room the identical twin terrors sit down on the couch opposite the one their Dad was sitting on. The table between the two couches. Lovage looks at the three letters placed on the table in front of him and gasps, smiling happily. His twin sighs and puts his bookmark in before setting the book aside. Seeing the three letters addressed to him he glances up at his Dad who nods his head. As Lovage rips the first envelope closest to him open in excitement Asphodel rolls his eyes and scans the three before him.

Beauxbatons

Madam Bowings Academy for the mixed of blood

Hogwarts

Evan feels a stab of pain that he had become quite accustomed to over the last decade and a little over a year. Seeing so much of his mate in the twins' looks was hard but that was especially true of Asphodel who seemed to be a miniature Severus Snape in the making...

... It didn't help that once Evan had told them everything on their seventh birthday his eldest had become determined to learn everything about his "sperm donor", as he put it, as he could. Afterwards seeming to strive to become the exact replica of the missing man. Somehow under the impression that his Dad would disappear as well if he wasn't.

Nothing Evan had done ever managed to change this thought process.

By the way Lovage has kept his attention on the third choice and Asphodel looks at him as he picks up the Hogwarts letter Evan knows they want to go there. Asphodel to meet his sperm donor and Lovage due to all the adventures his Dad had told them about. He really wanted to try and change their decision but holds back. Not wanting to force them into a life they don't want even if it costs him his private peaceful suffering. There was no way the British world would not notice how much the two looked like Severus and once it got out who their other father was the illusion would be smashed to bits.

"You do know that going to Hogwarts will put you face to face with your Father?" Evan questions just to be sure. Asphodel gives him that confident smirk that on an older face had once made his knees turn to jelly and nods while his youngest gets up and hugs him. OK, maybe only Asphodel was named correctly. Lovage somehow had obtained a Weasley-ish personality...

"No matter what happens I only have one Dad. That monster isn't going to change anything. I won't let him!" Evan hugs Lovage back, feeling lost and thinking of how much that sounded like the Ron he had been friends with during his school days. He sees Asphodel shaking his head in exasperation, 'I'll straighten it out.' He mouths and I nod. Doubting that another lecture would really set Love straight. If it could he would have figured it all out like Asp did around three years ago. Sighing I start to mentally prepare myself for the battle that will begin soon.

"Lets get started on you response letters."

Maybe it was time for this illusion of peace and happiness to shatter.

Hello Everyone! So this is the second chapter of World of Ruins (Please bear with the tittles in this as they don't really have anything to do with the actual story if you haven't figured that out yet...). I hope you're enjoying reading it as much as I'm enjoying writting it. In regards to the names I gave Asp and Love, as Severus is a potions master I thought Harry would feel it appropriate to name them after ingrediants or just needed to astablish as much conection to his mate as he could at the time the twins were born. since it seems to me as if a lot of the characters in Harry Potter have the middle name of a close relative of theirs I decided to match them with the parent I somewhat modeled them for/after. And Harry was thinking of them with his actual last name of Snape... if that makes it any better. Evan Regulas Brynt was Harry's way of staying connected with his past without being to obvious. Evan comes from his mother's maiden name of Evans (and stands for his parents), Regulas comes from Sirius' younger brother Regulas A. Black (and actually stands for both the muraders and Severus), and Brynt comes from one of Albus Dumbledore's long list of names (and stands for Hogwarts). Now that the explination is over with I'll leave you with the regular reminder of how great feedback is, and the challange of guessing what type of creature Harry and Snape are (hint they may or may not be the same type). Until next time...

...Bye!
