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 10

It was very awkward to say the least that Alaric- the former lord Voldemort had practically moved into Merrivale.

Aurelius was stunned how his life had changed.

He had gone from the angry, snarky man who snapped at everyone to a politician. He was now Lord Prince, an identity he had shunned before. He had taken his younger self from his mother, sent her away, helped the Dark Lord on the road to sanity and was friends with his two least favourite former Slytherins.

He had severely disliked Walburga and Abraxus…

Now he was finding he was someone they respected…

His thoughts were interrupted…

“What are you thinking Aurelius?”

Aurelius shrugged, “Merely about how my life has changed in such a short period time. At one point, I would have thought I couldn’t be alone with you without wanting to kill you.”

“I am not the person who killed your sister. Nor are you still that man who would betray me. We have made peace with that part of your past/future. Now I have some questions I couldn’t ask with Abraxus and Walburga here.”

Aurelius sighed, pouring himself another drink. “What do you want to know?

“However did you become Headmaster?”

Aurelius chuckled darkly, “You took over the Ministry and had me appointed. Illegally I might add but the Castle accepted me as its guardian.”

“What knowledge did you gain access to?”

“The tome of students. When a magical student is born, their name is recorded on its pages. You would have appeared there at birth, the moment your mother whispered your name. Lily would have appeared there first under her birth name and then once blood adopted would have taken the name Snape. She is probably still there under the name Snape. A seated Headmaster cannot change the Tome but it can be Glamoured by them I suppose. I never checked what names Lily and I were registered at Hogwarts under. I never had a reason…” Aurelius shrugged, “An oversight on my part. I should have realized that a girl that magically powerful had to be very closely related to a powerful family…”

“I see. Nothing regarding former abodes of the Founders?”

Severus smirked, “My former apartments as Head of Slytherin and Resident Potions Master were once Salazar and Gryffindor’s. Professor Merrythought’s old apartments were Lady Rowena’s. She chose not to reside in the Head’s Tower during her tenure as Headmistress. As for Lady Helga’s I never felt the need to find out where it lay.”

Alaric nodded, “I see. Hufflepuff was the least important of the founders to me.”

Severus arched an eyebrow, “Oh really? It was Godric you skipped when it came to Horcruxes.”

Alaric glared, “Whether that was because I couldn’t find one or because I wasn’t allowed to tarnish his perfect reputation I know not, nor do I care. I am glad that you have chosen to help me. You have proven a better friend then any I had before.”

“Perhaps, it is because we are similar if you pardon the comparison. We naturally understand one another.”

Alaric rolled his eyes, “Another thing I was wondering, what would we have to do to retire the old goat?”

“To my knowledge,” Aurelius began, “he been Headmaster since 1956 and it is now 1971. I don’t believe that Minerva would make a good Headmistress. I was present for her attempt to run Hogwarts after Albus was suspended.”

Alaric leaned forward intrigued, “Suspended? How did that occur?”

Aurelius scowled, “Under your orders Lucius placed your diary Horcrux into the cauldron of a not yet born Ginevra Weasley, the daughter of Arcturus Weasley, firstborn of Septimus Weasley and Mary Lynette Prewett, the only daughter of Dathan Prewett. She was possessed by the diary and opened it. lucky that time no one died but there were plenty petrified. Because he couldn’t contain the situation- he hardly tried, Lucius had him suspended. However his attempt was thwarted by Albus who claimed Lucius used nefarious means. He was instrumental in getting Lucius replaced as the Head of the Board of Governors.”

“Well it seems that Abraxus’ son isn’t as subtle as he would like.”

“Lucius was acting on your orders. Had he been under his own, he might have chosen a more productive plan.”

“Well since those orders were given by an insane version of myself I shall forgive your imprudence.”

Aurelius raised his glasses, “Touché.”

Alaric rolled his eyes, “You are an odd one.”

Aurelius laughed, “I was raised by Muggles, tormented by Bellatrix for five years, moulded by Lucius, manipulated by Albus and forced to live a life I detested.”

“What life was that?”

Aurelius was silent, “Teaching. I detested it.”

“Hmm…so I probably shouldn’t consider making you Headmaster again?”

Aurelius frowned, “Why?”

“If I have my soul mended and bond to Miss Black, hopefully I sire children to continue my line. I would prefer that the school was headed by someone I trusted.”

“Well someone should replace that arrogant git Slughorn.”

“He started back in 1920, I remember he mentioned that. He was a young professor, about twenty-eight. I remember he bragged about doing his Potions Mastery in five years after a three year apprenticeship.”

“Bah!’ Aurelius spat, “I started when I was eighteen and was done in three years. I was a Potions Master by age 21. I didn’t fool around, I also had Lily, she was like a fellow apprentice despite her choosing to go into Charms Research.”

“Truly Aurelius, you grow curiouser all the time.”

XoooooX

Severus had finished organizing his lab to his tastes when Alaric was busy at Gringotts.

He had selected an old Duelling practice chamber for their experiments.

It was warded so only himself or Alaric could enter. If it would not disconcert his guest, he would ward it so they could only enter together.

He was making final changes to it to make it safe. He knew what happened to Albus when he destroyed the ring Horcrux. It was amazing that the Resurrection stone still worked but it was old magic not easily destroyed he supposed.

Alaric was making a list of his Horcruxes and hiding places. He would have to retrieve them.

The former Dark Lord had admitted that they weren’t exceptionally well hidden. They had no extravagant protections. Alaric hadn’t created the curse for the ring and cast it. He had not created Inferi and filled a cave lake with them. Nor had he brewed the Potion that had nearly finished the job the curse on Marvolo’s ring began. The fact that Aurelius had admitted to being able to isolate it to Albus’ hand and slow his death had surprised the man. The locket was hidden at Grimmauld rather then the sea cave from Alaric’s childhood as Tom. The Cup had been hidden in the Lestrange Vault but since Bellatrix was too young and not yet enamoured with Alaric.

He heard the indignant squawk of an owl and a curse from Alaric.

Aurelius left the chamber with a sigh.

Outside was Alaric trying to take a letter from an owl.

It was Lucius’ owl Ganymede.

The owl landed on Aurelius’ shoulder and dropped a letter into his hand.

“Dumb owl. Tried explaining that the room you were in it couldn’t enter.” Alaric grumbled.

Aurelius chuckled and opened the letter.

‘Merrivale Manor

Dartmoor, Devon

To ‘Aurelius’ Prince,

“We have waited four days from some sort of our promised explaination or attempt at contact.

We shall await your owl.

Lucius Abraxus Malfoy

Prince of Slytherin

Heir to the House of Malfoy’

Aurelius sighed, “That might be difficult. I suppose it is understandable that the three have lost patience with me.”

“Who is it from?”

“Abraxus’ son Lucius.” Aurelius ran a finger for the perfect calligraphy, “He is merely reminding me that I promised to give them some form of contact and information. Unfortunately, I forgot in my efforts to make arrangements.”

“Well I shall let you decide how to answer.” Alaric shrugged leaving.

Aurelius closed his eyes, how to answer?

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

unneeded - Not much plotting in this chapter sadly. Once Alaric's soul is healed, the curse the shade of Merlin laid on him will disolve. As you can see even 'Aurelius' can be forgetful. True what Dumble-dork doesn't know he can't counter.

jujukitty - Moving closer to dealing with all the kids. Perhaps, the next chapter? Hopefully my Slytherin side will continue to deliver.

ChaosLady - Well I wish this update had come sooner but the muse wasn't co-operating. I hope you like it thought and sorry for the wait!

mary blackman - I will try to remember to do so.
