"Professor Snape, sir McGonagall is here." He heard Ms. Granger call from his door way of his bedroom still watching the body changing while they laid unconscious on his floor. "Stupefy." He'd held his wand at the body, just to make sure that this person didn't hurt anyone else or try to at least. One more spell, "Incarcerous" Tying the person up just made him feel better because he still was not sure who it could be, even if friendly in the end. Right now Severus Snape would take no chance at all, not what so ever.
"Come" Ushering everyone out into the sitting room. "Ms. Granger said that there was an emergency." "One of grave importance." Severus groaned at he rubbed his temples. This was all to confusing even for him to understand. "Follow me." Severus spoke looking over at Potter telling him to stay among his friends. "Lead the way." She spoke to him.
Severus walked into his bedroom once more after leaving it just previously, but this time he walked closer to the body turning it up to face him. Even with the stunning spell that Severus cast and the man being unconscious. "Who does that look like, to you." Minerva came closer to the body who still looked very much like Albus Dumbledore. "That's Albus, Severus." She answered, "No, it is not." "Accio Polyjuice Potion." Pointing his wand at the body. He smelled of the flask that it was in, "It is indeed Polyjuice." Handing it over to her, not that she would know it by smell, or even by taste til she started to change. "Albus eye's are blue, not green Minerva." Watching the shock go across her face, and looking towards the doorway seeing Harry. Severus nodded allowing Harry back into the room to take Professor McGonagall out of the room, as he followed waiting on Tonks and Kingsley to get there.
Severus' quarters were quiet as they normally were, when it was just him inside of them. This was rather odd, because it wasn't just him in the rooms at this time, there were many people all looking confused to say the least. He had no answers himself, none at all. The man he thought of as a mentor for so long, was not who he thought he was. How long had Albus, no how long had Albus been imposture. Severus was sure that it was the thought many people had on their minds. No one spoke for the while, "Professor Snape, your floo is flaring." He heard someone say, shaking him out of his thoughts. "Yes, thank you." He spoke walking over to it, to see who it was.
"Yes?" "Ah, Severus. Weasley asked for Tonks and I by name." Severus nodded, "Yes there as been a predicment at the school, and you maybe needed." He spoke, "Yes, yes we understand please step back and we'll come on through." Kingsley said. "Alright." Stepping back from the fireplace, watching at it flared up and Kingsley was the first out of the green smoke. It was a few seconds later that Nymphadora Tonks came crashing through the green smoke, nearly destroying one of Severus end tables had she not caught her balance.
When Nymphadora spoke, "Why's everyone acting like someone died?" Looking around at the confused looks and was just as confused. "I will explain everything that I can, just please follow me." Severus said, ushering them towards his bed chambers.
"But first can you tell me who that is." Severus drawled looking at the two Aurors who were also in the Order. "Whatecha mean, Snape. That's Albus Dumbledore." Severus shook his head at the both of them, but it had been Nymphadora that spoke saying it was Dumbledore. "Smell." Severus knew that Aurors had to sometimes go undercover, and know if someone was using polyjuice, and he was testing Tonks at the moment, not that Severus ever called her that, he then looked over at Kingsley. "It's the eyes, isn't it. That have you questioning this Severus." Kingsley spoke dully, "That and I smelled the split Polyjuice after he hit the wall." Kingsley had rose an eyebrow at Severus knowing he would need to explain everything from the day that Harry and him got these bracelets.
Back out in the sitting rooms of Severus Snape, the thickening quiet was starting to get to Harry who also had many pairs of eyes laying on him. Well everyone's besides Professor McGonagall's who was currently staring down at the floor from where Harry had lead her to sit down. As tempted as he was to scream what at everyone that was staring at him. He bit the inside of his cheek and counted to thirty before calming back down.
"Look, everyone." Getting the attention from those that were staring at him. "Just because I didn't tell you doesn't mean you need to stare at me like I'm gonna break." Harry growled at them. Hoping that, that would get them to quit looking at him like he was an invalid. Because he wasn't an invalid he was just having a hard time with everything that was going on in his life at the moment. He didn't want to love or find love if only to have to have it taken from him, like those that he loved had been taken from him already. His parents, Sirius had been taken for half his life and had reentered only to be almost taken again. He didn't want to lose anyone else, but he didn't want love at least not until he truly knew he would survive this crazy madman that was on his tail all the time.
Harry knew he didn't love Snape, Harry knew he was at least bisexual, was he for sure or not? No. Did he find girls pretty, yes, did he find the male body as well, yes. He respected Snape, that was it. This ancient Prophecy had him confused. As far as he still knew Snape hated him, maybe even pitied him, as far as anything else, he didn't know. These bracelets were effecting the both of them, that much he did know. Because when Snape was around he could feel his magic trying to coax Snape's to come to it, to claim it, to merge with it. That was scary for Harry, he knew very little of the magical world still and having been apart of it for the six still didn't leave Harry feeling very reassured about any of this.
Harry had the whole wizarding world looking to him to defeat a mad man, to save them and free them from him. How was Harry suppose to do that, when he didn't understand love and that was the man in the bedroom said, even if the man was an imposer of Headmaster Dumbledore. No one knew how long that the man that was laying in Snape's bed chambers floor had been imposture Dumbledore.
No one was still speaking, it was like no one dared too. Then again what was one suppose to say in a situation like this? No one knew who it was, and once found out how suppose to react still yet. Would they be arrested, more than likely would be the case.
It was then that there was sounds coming from Severus' bedroom. Everyone rose their heads towards the noises, but no one moved in that direction. They just stared down that way, sure Harry was curious but he didn't want to face the wrath of Snape, he'd had enough of it over the years to know when to stay put.
" Nymphadora, if you don't stop tripping as if you been jinxed I'm gonna glue you to the floor!" Severus snarled at her. She grimace at her name, she hated it and prefered to go by Tonks. She didn't hadn't got many to use it, and Snape was one of those people. "It's TONKS!" She glared at him, and he smirked at her. It was then that the body was starting to come out of the stunner Snape and placed on it, but was still tied with the Incarcerous spell.
Snape, Kingsley and Tonks stood back watching the man struggle against the ropes. When his eyes opened still sounding like Albus Dumbledore. "Severus, what is is going on? Why am I tied up?" Severus had been the first to be seen by the man, "Because none of us here, know that you are who you said you are." Severus grounded out glaring at this person, before swooshing his wand, "vultus in speculo." A mirror hung floating over the man, so he could see that they knew he wasn't Albus. "Right, I'm not a Death Eater." "Why should we believe you?" "Look at my arm," As it flexed against the ropes. "It wouldn't show! And YOU know it!" Growling at the incompetence of this man. "Right Right, still under the polyjuice potion." "Uh, Veritaserum?" The man spoke hopeful, but he could tell from the looks of Severus that it wouldn't happen. "No, because it would couteract with the Polyjuice in your system still yet." Why was he filled in a school with idiots.
"I KNOW!" The man smirked, "Take Mr. Potter out there, which I'm sure he's still here." Severus rose and eyebrow at the man. "Up to Headmaster's office and speak in Parseltounge to speak anything, you'll find your proof there." The man spoke, and Severus keep his eyebrow raised unsure about doing this, but if it meant proof that this person wasn't a Death Eater, fine. "Watch him!" Ordered Severus walking out of the room with his robes bellowing behind him as he stalked out of his own room.
"Potter, with me." "Where we going?" He heard Harry asked as they walked out of his quarters. "To the headmaster's office, the imposer told me he wasn't a Death Eater and the proof would be in the Headmaster's office." "Oh, but why did I have to go with?" "Because he told me that you had to speak Parseltounge to the gargoyle and it would release. Why I don't know." A frustrated Severus was one that was never easy to get along with.
The walked in silence all the way up the Headmaster's office. Severus was steaming, so he hadn't wished to speak anymore than he already had. Harry was just unsure as of what to say. It was starting to turn out to be a rather strange year, stranger than most of the ones previous to this one. It was when Harry finally spoke up, "Um, sir? Where are you going? We're here." Harry said raising his eyebrow at a stalking Snape who had been so lost in his thoughts that he had not realized that they'd made it to the entrance. "Well go on then Potter, it isn't like I can speak in Parseltounge." Snape sneered at the boy. Which was a compelte change from how Snape had been with him previously that day, Harry tried his best not to think anything of it, just that Snape was stressed by what had occurred in his bedroom.
'Open' Harry hissed in parseltounge, and the gargoyle moved. "After you, sir." Allowing Severus to take the lead. Once again that man's robs bellowed behind him up the stairs to the office. Harry followed up behind Snape with wand hid up in his sleeve. Not waiting to knock or anything at all, Severus barged into the room wand in hand. Once inside the room, Severus mouth dropped and just stood there gawking at what he saw. Was this suppose to be the proof the other imposer of Albus Dumbledore was speaking about.
When Harry entered the room, he saw the other Albus and was just as shocked. Although he wasn't standing about gawking like Severus was. Harry had finally had the last that he could take of this, "WHAT THE BLEEDING FUCK IS GOING ON!?" Harry screamed, having his wand pointed at the other imposture. "Who the FUCK are you?! Because we KNOW you are not Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore." Harry spoke gripping his wand tighter.
"My my, Severus here I thought you were the head of my House." The man shook his head cooly. "Let me guess you know that Albus, or Albus' isn't Albus'" Harry and Severus both nodded numbly, "Follow me then." Unsure of wither or not to follow, they both did questioningly. None of them had ever been in the chambers of the Headmaster before, this would be a first for both and anyone else alike. "That's the real Albus Dumbledore. He's been a coma since his battle with Grindelwald, it was covered up by my husband and I." The man watched them nodded numbly at the seen of Albus laying there breathing. It was Harry who spoke first, Severus seemed to be having a hard time figuring everything else out. "Then who are you, and whose the one we have tied up down in Professor Snape's quarters." Harry asked.
"You're draftiness precises you, Mr. Potter." Harry then glared, "I am Salazar Gryffindor-Slytherin." Blinking at the man, it told him who the other was as well. It was then that broke silence was broke once more by Snape fainting to the ground. "Snape, Snape are you alright?" He said shaking Snape, but Snape was out cold. "Help me move him." Harry growled, and Slytherin did help Harry by casting a levitating charm on the man he'd tried lifting. "Thank you." Harry said softly watching Snape look peaceful for the time being.
