Chapter 5: The Manor and the Rat
Prince Manor was beyond anything that Harry and Hermione had experienced. It was a huge, made of white stone and white outside walls. There was a large vast of land and it was all done by what looked like professionals, but Harry knew that there had to be a huge population of House Elves. A house elf appeared at once, making Hermione jump.
"Master Prince," the elf said, "Welcome back home."
"Thank you," Severus said, "I'm here to take possession of the manor and property."
"Then Dotty will be happy to serve you, Master Prince," she said, "And who are these two?"
"These are my children," Severus told her, "Hermione and Harry Snape."
"And how long will you be staying?" Dotty asked.
"Until Black is caught," Severus answered. "Why don't you show them to their rooms and get us something to eat."
"Yes Master Prince," Dotty said and Harry and Hermione followed her up the stairs.
The room that was chosen for Hermione was already decorated to her taste. Everything was done in purple and black, which Hermione had been shocked at seeing when she arrived. Harry complained that it made his eyes hurt. The room that was chosen for Harry was done in soft colors, not Gryffindor colors at all. Harry might have once liked being in his old house but he really hated their colors. Ten minutes later the food arrived and they sat down in the dining room to eat it, which was huge.
"I'm guessing the Prince family was once huge," Hermione reasoned, seeing the really empty places.
"Once, but not anymore," Severus said, "So how do you like your rooms?"
"Their nice," Hermione said.
"Her wallpaper makes my eyes hurt," Harry told him.
"Um, how did the room know that I liked black and purple?" Hermione asked Severus.
"It sensed it," Severus answered, "That's how it knew that Harry liked soft colors."
"I was never really a fan of gold and red," Harry told them.
Dinner was wonderful and Harry felt as though this was what a family was supposed to be like. Hermione talked about the spells and charms that she had found in the book and Harry talked about wanting to join the Ravenclaw Quidditch team.
"When this threat is over then you should try out," he suggested.
And then Hermione mentioned Ron's rat, which Harry noticed that Severus gave her a dark look.
"He's not supposed to have one," he said.
"He's had that blasted rat for two years," Harry told him. "It use to belong to Percy when he started at Hogwarts."
"Is it a normal garden rat?" Severus asked them.
"Yeah, it is," Hermione answered.
"Damn, it's an animagi," Severus said, "And it might be Black in rat form."
"But he's not on the registry," Hermione told him.
"An illegal one," Severus clarified. "I need to head to Hogwarts and get that rat. We might have captured Black. Until then, I'm having a tutor come and test your abilities. We need to see where you are really, magically."
"And how does this work?" Hermione asked him.
"A tutor will come in and allowed you to do a spell. This spell will determine first of all what your magical level is, but a series of tests will see where you are ability wise."
"I hope it's not a troll," Harry muttered.
When Severus left Harry and Hermione explored the manor and found plenty of places that would put Hogwarts to shame. The cold weather was really moving in and so they really couldn't be out long. Harry personally wished that the warm weather would remain a little bit longer.

"I didn't know that Ron Weasley had a rat," Dumbledore said when Severus told him what Harry and Hermione had said to him.
"Yes, it seems that Molly thinks that Ron is above the rules," Severus told him, "What we need to do is to find out if the rat has returned to Weasley and then capture it. Black could have killed the rat and taken its form, or it could be a different animagi. Even so, we need to get it so that we can force him, or her, to turn themselves in."
"I agree, Severus," Dumbledore said, his face showing worry. "I can summon the rat as long as it's in the castle."
Severus nodded and Dumbledore took out his wand, "Accio, Ron Weasley's rat."
They all waited and then suddenly a very malnourished rat appeared in his hands. Severus watched as he checked the rat over, convinced that it was an animagi.
"We have Black," Severus said and Dumbledore made a confining circle and put the rat in the middle.
Severus watched as he said the spell and the rat changed back to normal. Both men stared at the man that had come from the rat. It wasn't Black at all.
It was Peter Pettigrew!
"What the hell?" Severus cussed.
"Peter, I thought that you were dead," Dumbledore said.
"A-A-Albus," he stammered.
"Something isn't right here," Severus suddenly said and he stunned him.
"Severus, what are you doing?" he asked him.
"There's something not right about this whole thing," Severus told him and he went to look for it, the dark mark.
He found it, even though it was only an outline. It was there.
"Oh dear Merlin," Dumbledore said, shock on his face.
"Peter Pettigrew is a Death Eater," Severus told him.
"Get your truth potion," Dumbledore told him, "I want to find out the truth."
"I'll be back," Severus promised and he hurried to his office.
