Chapter 13: Old Professor Snape Reappears

Everyone was in the Great Hall for breakfast at seven in the morning. The new elves were posted among the students of Hogwarts to keep the peace and make sure they were eating and getting to their classes. Sal and Becca along with Lucius Malfoy were sitting at the head table; however, the Board of Governors and the Prince men, as well as the goblins, were sitting at the Slytherin table as Sev decided he could not possibly sit with bloody Gryffindors.

Harry Prince laughed at the antics of his husband. “Sev, you are married to a Gryffindor.”

“I will remind you,” Sev answered him in his best snarky tone, “I married a snake pretending to be a Gryffindor. It is not the same.”

Some of the Slytherin students that had arrived early were watching the group sitting at their table. They had heard the announcement that Lord Malfoy made the night before. The Board of Governors, with the help of some others, was revamping the curriculum to bring their school up to the standards of the IWES. It was exciting to know that there would be more classes offered. Some of the subjects sounded very interesting. The seventh year students would even be offered an eighth year to take advantage of the new subjects.

At about half past seven the owls started coming in. Several of them landed in front of the school’s guests. Blazoned across the front page of the Daily Prophet was the story that they had been looking for.

          HOGWARTS SCHOOL INSTITUTES NEW PROGRAM

In a daring move initiated by the Board of Governors of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, a new program of mostly advanced classes has been instituted in an effort to once again be at the top of the list for the International Wizardry Educational Society, known as the IWES.

Salazar Slytherin is announced as the new Deputy Headmaster and his wife Rebecca Prince Slytherin is one of the new Potions Professors that start with the new term in September. He is quoted as saying, “I am here to bring honor back to the family name and the school.”

The paper went on to give an account of what classes would be offered, an eighth year being offered to all seventh years and how the new program allowed for substitute teachers on the premises. It did not, however, call attention to the assistance of elves as tutors. They were not sure the Wizarding World was ready for that yet. It would be better for the kids to experience it first and show how well it would work.

Just as the Great Hall was filling up with the remainder of the students, a huge box was delivered in front of the head table accompanied by nine more of the Prince educated elves including Sentry Dobby.

“Sentry Dobby!” Harry called out. “What are you doing here? I thought you were posted with the children at the Malfoy residence.”

“Master Harry, sir,” Dobby replied with a bow. “Lady Malfoy said to make sure this box was delivered. I am leaving now to go back to Malfoy Manor.” He smiled at Harry and said, “Master Evan and Mistress Lili said to tell you, they miss you.”

Harry laughed. He and his husband very rarely were separated from the children for more than a few hours, and even then at least one of them was always close. “Tell them we should see them tomorrow evening and that their Papa and I send them our love.”

“Yes, Master Harry. Is there anything else I can do for you?” The elf asked in his perfect English that he had painstakingly learned when coming to this time line.

“No, that will be all, Sentry Dobby. We will let you know when we will be coming home.” Harry smiled at the elf knowing that he would protect the Prince children with his life and magic.

Salazar levitated the box and made his way to the staff office just as the others were making their way to the Headmistress’ office. There would be another staff meeting that evening. The Board of Governors was still on patrol duty.

Harry had a list of students he had compiled of the trouble makers in the school. These were the worst of the disciplinary problems and he was reminded of the Weasley Twins and all the pranks they committed while he was in school. He knew he didn’t have what was needed to get them straightened out. He needed someone to put the fear of Merlin into the prats, so he went to his husband to talk to him.

“Sev” the young man whispered in his ear seductively as he stood behind the older man’s chair, “have I told you recently how much I love you?”

Severus smiled and leaned back in his chair. “I do believe, brat,” he replied in a low sexy voice, “you made yourself quite clear this morning when you woke me up.” He didn’t elaborate as there were others in the room. “So what is it you need me to do?”

“I was wondering if you would like to play the old Professor Snape and put the fear of Merlin into some students.” Harry said with a devious grin on his face. He could see his husband thinking about it and the man gave him his old sneer. It was all Harry could do not to laugh. He hadn’t seen that expression in a long time and knew the man was going to love this.

“I do believe that can be... arranged,” He said in his old snarky tone. Harry just loved the way he paused for affect when speaking.

“I have marked the students that are on scholarships and a list of the worst of the offenses for the students. Two of them are seventh years and have been quite a problem. The youngest is a third year and we might be able to get him back on track.” Harry explained the notes that had been taken with the dicta quill the previous evening.

Severs Prince smiled, he remembered these same students from his own time line and the list did not offer any surprises. He could have almost written it himself just from his past experiences. “So we have some hooligans that would be perfect candidates for The Dark Lord if he still existed,” Sev surmised. “I think I am going to have fun with this.”

Salazar walked into the office at that moment and everyone got back to work. They needed to finish this today as they had other people waiting on them, and the children to see to. All of the kids were at Malfoy Manor having a sleepover, but Narcissa wouldn’t last too much longer even with the elves and other human help that was there.

Minerva’s office was filled with people, elves and goblins working much the same as the day before. As her office was full, she was actually able to walk through the halls checking on classrooms, making sure students were where they were supposed to be and generally enjoying the stress free day. Yes, she was concerned about the school, but she was still Headmistress and she liked the changes they were making and the students seemed to be excited as well. There was to be another staff meeting that evening to go over questions and more solid plans on how the new classes were going to be structured.

She was already receiving positive feedback on the educated elves that were to serve as the professors’ aides. The elves were knowledgeable without the usual over confidence she would get from a human student studying to be a Master at the subjects. They were polite and helpful without undermining the teachings of the professors. According to Salazar Slytherin, this was not really a new concept in Hogwarts; in fact, it had been quite common for a professor to have at least one elf in the classroom when the school was first established. When the elves were bound to the school, it was easier to get full cooperation.

Back in Minerva’s office Sal was watching everyone work. He didn’t want to stop the progress, but he was extremely worried about something that he needed to speak to the others about. When the students left for the holidays, they would have to return and do something about the wards. They were dangerously weak and he couldn’t even see them lasting through the next school term if they didn’t strengthen them. It was incomprehensible to him how something like this even happened.

Meanwhile at the Hogshead Inn…

Aberforth Dumbledore went down to the bar and saw that his ‘guests’ were still there. Some of them looked a little different so he figured some had left and others came in to take their place, but they were still there. He just nodded to the same vampire that he spoke to last night and went in the back to floo the castle and see how Minerva was doing.

The floo was blocked. He used every password he knew, and a few that were unknown to anyone but him. Still the floo was not working. He tried a few other firecalls to some of the professors, but that didn’t work either. He knew that Slughorn had a free class that morning but his floo was blocked, too.

He would just have to try later. He couldn’t imagine why the floo was not working correctly; he may have to wait for the vampires to leave and just go visit Minerva then. Wonder how long that will take?

Just as that thought passed through his head, one of them came in with their liquid breakfast. Oh joy!

At the castle…

It was the end of the day and Harry was looking forward to the meeting with the discipline-challenged students. Now that it was not directed at him, he loved to see his husband in action. These students had been caught defacing property (the school’s as well as others), hexing students in the hall, and they were essentially the bullies of the school.

The students, two girls and twelve boys entered the room. Harry was under his invisibility cloak watching as the miscreants arrogantly approached Sev who already had his facial expression in the stoic mask he used to use when he taught at Hogwarts, just as he had when Harry was at school. Sev stared them down in his old Professor Snape persona, not saying a word for about five minutes after they settled at a group of desks. They had thought about having separate sessions with each student, but it would have taken hours and they wanted to finish before then.

“Do you students know why you are here?” He emphasized the word ‘student’ for a reason. He wanted them to know that the status of student could change at any moment.

“No, we were not told why you wanted us here,” said one of the seventh years. “Who are you?” He was thinking, he had never seen this man before and he didn’t really have the right to have them in here for anything.

“My name is Severs Masterson Prince and you may call me sir, or Mr. Prince. I co-own Prince Conglomerate with my spouse. We are on the Board of Governors and, in case you didn’t know it, Prince Conglomerate donates most of the money that goes into the scholarship funds as well as other projects for the school.” His tone was terse and his face was stern. “We are here to discuss your… future.”

“And what could you possibly have to say about our future?” the arrogant spokesperson for the group asked.

Severs Prince stared at the fourteen people in front of him with disgust and anger on his face. Inside he was starting to worry that these would be the future Knockturn Alley residents if they didn’t get their act together. “Your future as a student at this school is coming to an end if you don’t change the way you conduct yourselves.

“Two of you are seventh years, if you have any plans to do anything with your life you may want to come back for an eighth year and take advantage of the new classes. I am advising all fourteen of you that I am now taking a … personal interest… in your time here. From now on you will be... watched. If I get reports that there have been any problems such as I have seen in these reports, I will make another visit and discipline you... myself.” Sev briefly raised his brow at the students and then waited to see what reaction this would invoke. He was standing, glaring at the students, with his arms crossed over his chest and a scowl on his face. His tone of voice was unbelievably harsh as only he could accomplish.

“You will not know when or where, be it in the class room, your dorms, or in the hallways, you will be watched and you will not even be aware of it.” When the students rolled their eyes, Severs lifted a hand and Harry came out from under the cloak. He tried to make his face as mean as his husband’s, but although it was somewhat successful, it didn’t look quite as good as Sev’s.

“We have other methods of being undetected also.” Harry said at the group after the shock of another person in the room wore off their faces. “This school is a place of learning and I don’t mean learning how to be bullies and how to prank everyone.” All he had to do was think about how Dudley had chased him and bullied him around all the time.

“You will have one term to get yourselves straight. We will have another discussion if there are no problems. Anyone who is on scholarship will be looked at closely. If they do not conform to our standards, the assistance will be removed and the student will be expelled. This is not only directed at you, it is for all students here. Hogwarts’ staff will not allow a small number of students to interfere with the education of others that want to learn. If you want to play, you may go home.”

Severs finished his statement with a snarl and a growl; the same one that used to make the first years tremble with fear. He hoped that would change the direction of their lives to a better situation.

He let the students sit there for another few minutes to think about what was said then he had a brilliant idea. The former Professor growled at them again and said, “In penance for your past actions, your presence is required for a two week project this summer. You will be spending time with us on a... mission. The details will be sent to your parents and until then we are holding your grades. You are dismissed.”

Harry waited for the students to leave before he turned to Sev and asked, “Do you think that helped?”

“We will see. I do believe we got through to a few of them, especially the younger ones. We may be too late for the seventh years but we have to start somewhere.”

Harry’s soft heart hurt for the students that were on the wrong path. He stepped over to Sev and hugged him for all he was worth. Sev put his arms around Harry and just held him for a while before saying, “We can’t save them all, love; be happy for the ones we can.”

“I know. It’s just such a waste of potential.” Harry responded sadly. They both left the classroom with their arms around each other and returned to the office to finish up their projects.

“Don’t worry, my love, we may be able to do something with those students yet.”

"Are we really going to take them with us on a mission?"

"I do believe that when they see the pain of others, they may change their attitude. You know Becca will find the perfect place."

They had finally reached the office only to find out it was time to eat in the Great Hall. So the entire group made their way to where they and the students would eat.

Everyone in the group refused to discuss any of the school business while at the meal where others could hear the conversation; so all discussions were put off until they met back in the office to speak privately.

Later, back in the headmistress’ office…

As soon as the office door was closed and warded, Salazar got right to the point. "Gentlemen and ladies, we have a serious problem on our hands." He waited for everyone in the room to settle down before he explained about how bad the wards were and they needed to get everyone out of the castle to set them properly.

"There are only a few days of school left, can they wait until then?" Sev asked.

"I don't know how long they have been this bad, but we will have to wait. It will put us here a few more days and we need to get the teachers out of here as well. I don't want them to participate in the ceremony. If I had to guess, I would say the wards had been sabotaged."

Harry looked concerned. He had always felt safe at Hogwarts when he was a student. The others should feel the same. "How bad is it… exactly?"

"Well," Sal answered, "let's put it this way. If Voldemort were alive and wanted to walk through here, the doors would welcome him in." He sighed and added, "We have to start all over again. It would be the only way I could be sure that there would be no problems. I wouldn't risk building more wards on the little bit of foundation there is."

"What is involved in that?" Lucius asked.

"Well, seven weeks, seven different covens of thirteen, each one of a different species, blood magic, ward magic and a completely empty school during the time the wards are settling into the foundations. When the school was founded the lands were home to many creatures and they lived in harmony. As time went by, they left the land because of conflict with the new beliefs of wizards."

"That means we will have to start as soon as school is finished in a few days." Salazar nodded to Sev in acknowledgment.

"I will contact the heads of the clans that we need and see if they are willing to help and can come in the next few days. We don't have much time and it would do more harm than good to get half way through and not be able to finish."

Back at the Hogshead Inn...

An owl flew into the bar and instead of landing in front of Aberforth, it landed in front of his unwanted guest. Aberforth Dumbledore glared at the man and was hoping this would get the creatures out of his domain. This was the third day they had been here and he was ready for them to go. It just so happened that they didn't need much sleep so the vampires never left.

The dark haired man that was the leader of this little mission took the missive from the owl and read it just before it burst into flames. There was no reason to let anyone know who it was from or what it was about.

Aberforth watched as the vampire spoke something to his companion and then left. Five minutes later, much to Aberforth's chagrin, another vampire came and sat in the same chair as the one that had just left. He let out a huge sigh and went to the back to floo call Minerva. He was starting to wonder if something was going on. The floo was still blocked. His informant was also inaccessible. It was possible that they had blocked the floo during the O.W.L.S and N.E.W.T.S but they had never done it before.

Perhaps he should just send her an owl. Yes, that might be just what he needed to do. Aberforth quickly wrote his note and sent it on its way.

Just as an owl flew through the Headmistress' office window, there was a knock on the door announcing the arrival of Salazar's guest. One of the elves tried to see to the owl as Harry opened the door and greeted the man on the other side.

AAAAAAWWWWWWKKKKK the owl screeched as the elf tried to take the parchment attached to its leg. AAAAWWWKKKKKK AAAAWWWWKKKKK it screeched as it attacked the elf dressed in gold. It pecked at his nose and flapped its wings as the talons tried to grab the elf’s hands. Suddenly four wands were immediately pulled out to stun the bird. With his last AAAWWWKKKkkkk the owl hit the floor.

“What in Merlin’s name was that about?”
