Title: Thou Shalt Not!

Fandom: Harry Potter

Notes: Post-Battle of Hogwarts fic in part. Non-Epilogue compliant. AR/AU. Evil Dumbledore.

Summery: Severus Snape survives the war, only to realize he has nothing left to live for. While musing what he might have done differently, he is interrupted by the arrival of Dumbledore who is doing some 'housekeeping'. A duel begins and in an attempt to save himself, Severus does the unthinkable and breaks one of the greatest tenants of Magic!

What has he done and where has he gone?

A/N: I know this isn't one of the fics that my readers are clamouring for updates but it is the one that has the first completed update. This chapter is dedicated to reader/reviewer atymer who was one other first to R/R this story. They are extremely loyal and have reviewed probably every HP fic I've posted. Their comments have helped me immensely and I enjoy them. I adore all my readers and enjoy conversing through pm about my stories. My computer is down and I'm borrowing my grandfather's so my updates will be slow. I'm crewing two shows tomorrow so I won't have much access to a computer and I can't stay up late tonight. I have two exams next week so my updates probably won't be posted until friday or so of next week. Apologies!

The Past- Ch 9

Abraxus had sent Aurelius the date of the next Hogwarts Board of Governors' meeting: the fifteenth of September.

The three of them Abraxus, Aurelius and Alaric Lords of Malfoy, Prince, Slytherin and Merlin were at Merrivale discussing how to approach the meeting.

"You have to be members of the Board before you bring up the twins." Abraxus insisted.

"Why?" Aurelius asked a bit annoyed.

"Business brought up by a Governor is considered sealed and privileged. They are not when you are a non-Governor. I will put your names up to fill the open seats. I don't see Walburga complaining. You both are filling empty seats that belong to the Slytherin Bloc. However Alaric you also hold claim to the Peverell seat. Which has always been considered a Ravenclaw loyal seat since it was granted to a companion of Headmistress Rowena."

"What? I thought the First Head of Hogwarts was a wizard." Alaric was shocked.

"A common misconception." Aurelius said with a wave of his hand. "One propagated by Dumbledore. Access to the right records are how you find that out."

"How did you find out? I didn't until I became a member of the Board of Governors." Abraxus asked surprised.

Aurelius shrugged, "Let's just say at one point of my life I had full access to the Headmaster's Tower. I know many things Dumbledore would prefer remained lost."

Alaric resolved to question Aurelius further. As one-quarter owner of Hogwarts he should be privy to its secrets. "So how do you recommend we approach this delicate situation Abraxus?"

"I would like permission to bring Walburga into our confidence. She is the current head of the Board despite her not being a member of the Founders' Council."

"The Founders' Council?"

"It is composed of the Heads of the Families descended from the Founders. Lord Harold Longbottom holds the Gryffindor Seat and its heir is Francis. Lady Lovegood holds the Ravenclaw Seat for her daughter Demeter. While Lady Ruth Smith holds the Hufflepuff Seat, though it was held by Hepzibah for years before she passed it on. She had no heirs naturally."

They continued to plan and plot with Alaric and Aurelius agreeing that bringing Walburga into their confidence was right and proper. Yet knowledge of Andromeda' future jilting of Lucius would remain private since both Aurelius and Abraxus wished to be free of that encumbrance.

XoooooX

Lady Walburga Black was met at the floo by Aurelius and Abraxus.

Aurelius helped her out of the floo and bowed over her hand before escorting her to the settee.

"What manners," she said blushing like a girl. "Where were you when I was looking for a Bondmate?"

Aurelius smoothed his robe as he sat down, "I was too young so that I would have been beneath your notice."

She nodded. "I was surprised that I would be invited here. I was sure that the Prince Family was extinct."

Aurelius shrugged, "It might have been if I hadn't been returned to this time." He proceeded to give her his 'cover story'. "I had been working on a potion that resulted in my being thrown forward in time. Sometimes even the best potions masters make mistakes when handling dangerous ingredients. I returned to find my brother dead, my youngest niece perished and my elder niece deemed a blood traitor. I was stunned to find out that my niece Eileen had been pregnant with my children and had joined herself to a Muggle after I'd disappeared. I find myself trying to put my family back together. My niece is now living in France in Seclusion."

Being the Bondmate of a second cousin, the impropriety of being Bonded to a family member or having sexual relations with one was politely ignored.

"Since Eileen had been legally married to Tobias if only by Muggle standards when the twins were born, they are technically considered legitimate. Therefore I can declare Severus my heir. His sister Lillian will be granted the rights of a pureblood heiress, since she is Prince on both sides as are your sons." Aurelius said politely.

"So why am I here?" Walburga asked stiffly.

"We have a problem. Dumbledore knew full well that Lillian was a Prince, it would have been written down upon her born. While she was blood adopted without consent by her mother's Muggle Husband her Hogwarts letter should have been addressed to Lillian Anastasia Snape despite being raised at Lily Anne Evans. She was never formally adopted and Dumbledore signed her letter himself, which was against protocol. WE all know that the Deputy Headmaster or Headmistress signed the letters inviting students to attend."

"I never liked him, he's always too conniving for a mere Gryffindor. He turns a blind eye and sometimes encourages bullying of Slytherins. He doesn't say much when Bella torments Muggleborns either." Aurelius grumbled.

"What exactly does my niece do?"

"She has a handful of pureblood wizards who follow her every command: Rabastan Lestrange and Evan Rosier to name a few. They have it out for Mary MacDonald and Severus. If Lily wasn't so quick with her wand then she'd be a target as well. James and Sirius have it out for Severus because James is jealous of Severus' relationship with Lily. They are best friends and twins, James Potter has nothing to be jealous of." Aurelius said with a shrug.

"You know a lot for someone who just returned." Walburga said raising her eyebrow.

Aurelius shrugged, "I have my ways of learning these things. When I returned, James and Sirius were tormenting Severus. If Lucius hadn't stumbled upon it, he might have been hurt."

"I will give Sirius a stern talking to for this. To attack another heir at Hogwarts is unfathomable." Walburga sniffed, "Just like that boy to embarrass me this way. He will be lectured about this and told to leave Severus alone. If I find out he has injured him in anyway I will be suspending his income from his trust vault."

Aurelius smirked, he'd never liked Sirius and knowing he was essentially being a tale- bearer pleased him to no end. Sirius was going to be punished for tormenting him and suffer would bring him great pleasure.

"So why did you ask me to call? Surely not just to inform me of my son's misdeeds and to inform me of Dumbledore's overstepping of his authority." Walburga had almost a gossipy aura.

"We wanted to discuss a plan for the next meeting of the Board of Governors. I would like to introduce the holder of the Slytherin and Peverell seats, Lord Alaric Hermes Peverell. He is also according to Gringotts, Merlin's heir. He nearly defeated Grindlewald at sixteen and was formerly known as Lord Voldemort."

Walburga inclined her head, "My Lord, it is an honour."

"You are the Head of the Black Family?" Alaric asked curious.

"Essentially yes, though the legal power is my Husband Orion."

"I have a bonding contract in my vault, it was supposed to be between my mother Merope Gaunt and Phineas Black. Unfortunately it was never completed, if there are any females who are still of age to conceive I would be willing to allow the contact to be considered sealed and fulfilled." Alaric said with a bow.

"A bonding with Lord Voldemort? To a Black heiress? Oh my…if only I didn't have contracts with the House of Malfoy and Lestrange."

Alaric frowned, "I was hoping for someone older. I don't think a relationship with a teenager would be wise. Surely there is an unbonded or widowed witch in the Black Family."

"There is Cassiopeia, she is my aunt but I'm sure she's older than you are. She was born in 1915."

"I was born a mere nine years later. I would prefer an older woman to a younger one. She would be less flighty and not need to be doted on or spoilt. I would like to meet her and Court her, if she is agreeable than we can discuss the legal arrangements. I have some research I must do before I can bond."

Aurelius knew it had something to do with retrieving his soul shards from the Horcruxes and finding a way to rejoin his soul. He had a short time to do so before the curse his ancestor Merlin laid on him would take away his life.

"I will speak with my Aunt Cassiopeia. Perhaps, dinner this Saturday?"

Alaric bowed, "It would be a pleasure. Now, what duties do I have due to my relationship to our revered Founder and the Peverells?"

"You have the weight of two votes due to your right to sit on the Founder's Council. You are one-quarter owner of Hogwarts. You should have your right to sit on both the Founder's Council and the Board of Governors' discussed first thing at the next meeting."

Alaric winced, "Will I have to name all my titles then?"

Walburga chuckled, "No. You will when you are announced at the first Meeting of the Wizengamot you attend. The herald will announce them, I suggest you have them all listed on a piece of Parchment for them."

"I hold quite a lot, I hope they don't fall asleep hearing them."

Aurelius chuckled, "What were they again? Lord Slytherin, Lord Peverell, Baron Gaunt,

Baron Riddell, Viscount Lincoln, Baron Ensington, Guardian of the Cauldron of Knowledge, the Heir of Slytherin, Master of Snakes, Prince of Enchanters and Grand Master of the Order of the Table. The Order of the Table was the previous name for the Order of Merlin."

Walburga's eyes widened, "My Aunt will gain how many of those?"

Abraxus counted them off as he named them, "Lady Slytherin, Lady Peverell, Baroness Gaunt, Baroness Riddell, Viscountess Lincoln and Baroness Ensington. She may be able to claim Merlin but I am not sure. That would be six without Merlin's title…that would be wonderful. I didn't attend with Cassiopeia but I did attend with you Lord Vold…Alaric. It will take some time to get used to. I used to slip and call you Tom when we were in school. You like changing your name don't you?"

Alaric shrugged, "I am leaving the person I was before behind. I am not proud of who Tom was, and the deeds I did as Voldemort will need repenting. I was not in control of myself until Aurelius discovered I was under the Imperious. It has been thrown off and I am learning to strengthen my Occlumens shields. I don't want anyone to have access to my mind…"

Aurelius was surprised that Alaric was so honest, it seemed anti-Slytherin to him. He shrugged, it was the Former Dark Lord's choice who he took into his confidence. A powerful woman like Walburga Black could be a powerful ally or a dangerous enemy.

They continued to plot and scheme like the Slytherins they were about how to best bring up Aurelius and Alaric's Governor seats. As well as when to bring up Lily and Severus during the meeting…

Since Walburga was the current head of the Board of Governors, her opinion proved quite helpful.

They were quite pleased when they broke for lunch.

While Alaric had some soul healing to do before he could truly forge a relationship with someone, bonding should be no issue since he wasn't really a snake faced bastard. He wasn't the goodlooking sort you'd bring home to mother but he had an aura of power and confidence that drew people to him.

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
