Epilouge

Frank was sitting on the floor , munching on Biscuits Amelia ha sent Sev.

Marlene was deeply in thought, and charity was busy squeezing the life out of Severus.

Fabian and Gideon had left them to catch an hour of sleep.( or not in case of Gideon, he had lots of unfinished bussiness with his fiance, Amelia, none of them suitable for kids)

"so you really poked at the ward and the ward activated?"

Severus noded"aha, then this octupus like thing came out of no-where and got the fu…man..the man"

Marlene tilted her head "still, how did Emerald knew where the house was? All pureblood residence have a ward so people who are not invited, or have not been there can not get there easily."

Did severus wanted to know that. But Emerald was no-where to be seen. She barely spoke to him these days, said ' the house was too dark for her sensetive phonixy senses or some other rot'. Severus bet his left show she knew more than she let on. And the NOIR? He did not mention that, if it was that dangerous, and dark? Probably she would abondon him and run to amazon. After all she was a phonix, as light as it got.

Charity hugged him tighter, this was nice.

"I don't wanna hear about it. It gives me creeps. And every time I think about it I want to cry"

Her eyes were welling up again.

"let's change the subject huh?" all noded in agreement eagerly, except…

"but I wanted to tell you that my dad told me that Sylwan was shipped to Nurmangaurd and.."

Severus glared at frank. He immediately gulped. Satisfied , he opened a new topic.

"so, we didn't win the cup"

"or the Quidich, thanks to you being absent for the finale" murmuerd charity.

"it was not a wonder that Ravens got it both, with Hufflpuff seeker being in med bay again, and its captain working himself over his upcomming engagement…of course all year long, potter and black lost Griffs points, if not them the twins. Gideon himself has lost a generous amount of them being caught daydreamin in his classes. Also the slytherins returned the favor throughly. Not that Severus here done puff's a favor, what with his escape form school to go and take a stroll with Rita skeeter."

Then Marlene winked at him" wasn't sure you were into older girls. I was born on september you know?"

Severus blushed for whatever reason, Marlene and her teasing… he had to find her a match so she would be happy (preferably not his not Black brother, err..Sirius he meant)

"right, how about Alice?"

Frank tossed the last finished box of biscuits somewhere on the matress. "dunno, shes happy she passed herbology. I helpedher and all. "

Charity loosened her arms a bit, patted Frank's shoulder. " kidding me ? you got the highest Mark ever! No one had managed to get a devil snare to florish like that! Their flowers are so rare that even our head havent had the chance to even see them!"

Frank mumbled something resembling thanks and not that big of a deal. It frustrated Severus that he was this modest, while Potter's head was bursting with ego.

"and Sev here made the top. With Evans in his toe. If someone is a genius , he is!" Frank smiled warmly, which in turn warmed Sev's heart.

He had not told anyone but Lily, that his mother was pregnant. Lily said that if things got too hard, he could count on her, and even Petunia.

"she is taking these classes in red cross, there are for first aid. She can check blood pressure and check arythmia in heart pulses, knows how to bandage too" it left unsaid, that this was the best they could get if the child somehow turned magical, or Tobias fell on drinks again.

Lily then informed him that he was to take a short vacation some times in the summer, her mom would accompany her too.

"I wish we could go together, like last year. this year has been full of ups and downs, hectic to say the least. With that much time you spent breaking school rules, I thought you would've made a great Griffindore!" she giggled.

Severus smiled too. His plans were more than hairbrained and stupid. He cant gather why he had thought chatting with Rita was a good idea. He had served too many detentions and had much time on his hands to come to an agreement,and yet he hadn't a clue.

He really would have made a griffindore, if not for Potter, Black and Lupin's sack.

Regulus still wrote him loads, sent the elf every night, he had taken to call Sev 'mon Frere'. Severus always shaked his head, or rolled his eyes at being called that, yet he was secretly pleased. At the end of his first year, he had made many friends, found a brother and prevented Andromeda from being disowned.

His choice of seeing lily as a sister, allowed him to see her as the young girl she was and not a heroine on a pedstall. In this life, he saw her generosity and clever brain, but also her temper and excusing her house antics.

Her need to belong and prove herself, like a child she was, and not the savior goddess he had made her in his mind.

And Peter was holding himself in slytherin. He had taken to being less chaotic and obvious. Learned to operate in secret and be discrete. Observe from a far and bind his time for the best time to strike. He had taken refuge in Mulcibor, but Severus taught him to learn the ways of the more prominent purebloods, their customs and ways, their secrets and beliefs, but never fully trust them, or turn into them.

This peter was innocent, just wanted a simple job in ministry, a low danger life and some friends.

Severus was getting there, to be his friend. Unfortunatly he hadnt persuaded him to find other friends. The brat was simply rockheaded.

All in all, much a better year than the last time.

Wind was blowing them all away, if Azkaban was said to be harsh, it was ten times harsher here.

The nurmangaurd tower was built on a hill, and it held people who were uncontainable even in Azkaban, Samuel was abit proud to be considered as such.

He had bribed the gaurds enough to let him stay where he wanted, and he would stay where he intended to, indeed.

He also had his elf deliver a secret letter to the so called Dark lord just a simple letter.

: Who is Severus Snape?

He was certain it was enough to send the lunatic after the boy. Orion had seen the Snape brat, so he would for sure go and run an investigation of his own.

Samuel would be delighted to watch those two tear each other apart over who owned the boy, or even to kill the boy. He cared not which one happened, just having those two at each other's throat was amusement enough.

Now for the final show.

"Hello Mr Grindelwald, I am a great fan! I am sure we can have so much fun together!"

The old man didn't even looked at him, just sent him flying across the wall with a simple gesture of his fingers. Sylwan was sure he had cracked a rib or two.

Well, that was one hell of greetings. He had so much to learn…
