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 tenets of Magic!
What has he done and where has he gone?
The Past - Ch 24December 25, 1971It was on Muggle Christmas that Aurelius had begun to consider an issue that worried him quite a bit…Aurelius had been quite lucky that he had had Lucius to guide him through his inheritance during his previous life as Severus Snape…He knew that himself, Alaric and Harry had been prevented from discovering their status as heirs to Pureblood Houses. They should have learned during their first visit to Gringotts or at least on their Seventeenth birthday.Alaric gave him a penetrating look over his coffee cup, “What are you thinking Aurelius…”Aurelius coughed, “I want to write up a bill to present to the Wizengamot.”Alaric smirked, “On Education?”Aurelius snorted, “Of course not! We have that well in hand between the Board of Governors and the new Headmaster. Official or not, Filius is going to stay Headmaster and we both know that. I was actually talking about starting an office in the Department of Magical Children.”Alaric raised an eyebrow, “Oh really? For what purpose?”“To work with Gringotts in determine heirs to magical lines even Salazar help us Muggleborn heirs to say extinct lines or those like ourselves who are Muggle-raised if you can call our childhoods raising. I also want to assign members of the Board of Governors to visit those raised in the Muggle World ourselves perhaps because we have the most experience even if we detest them. We know what abuse looks like and I want to remove all children from abusive homes. For those who like to hunt Muggles I’m sure that we could allow it on the discovery of an abused Magical child. Not that torturing Muggles is palatable to me personally and I know that Lucius never enjoyed it either.”Alaric shrugged, “Without the Imperious to reprogram me against my natural inclinations, I am none too found of the idea of Muggle baiting or torture. If we were to get individuals that had been tried and perhaps given say, the death penalty but they are dosed with the Draught of Living Death instead of the usual method then we can essentially revive them and give them over to be tortured. They are already dead and it wouldn’t be too hard to bury a golem in form of the victim. It would make everyone happy I suppose…”“It wouldn’t be hard to find ways to have abusive guardians put away and assign the abused children to a Ministry or Governor run orphanage where we can have an on site healer and mind healer to look after them and heal them before finding appropriate new guardians or even parents.” Aurelius nodded.Alaric nodded, “I like it. We should send for Apollus, he maybe Abraxus’ brother but he is a solicitor from what I understand and I want this proposition to be worded properly and perhaps, include that clause. We should bury it in legal jargon and ensure that those on the committee to examine it are favourable to us. I will floo Abraxus in Italy and ask him to have Apollus visit us soon. We will have to discuss this in full to see if either has any ideas on how to go about this. After all we have little experience in such matters…”Aurelius waved his hand, “I trust you, you know Abraxus far better then I do. You are more then welcome to take the lead with this after all,” he rubbed his left forearm, “technically I am still considered your bond servant.”Alaric frowned, “Does this displease you? I see you more as an equal then a servant.”Aurelius shrugged, “I spent half my life with your mark on my arm, I’ve gotten used to its presence.”Alaric scowled, “I can remove it if you like, we know one another’s minds to well and have come to an alliance so betrayal is essentially impossible between us.”“True, I have no desire to betray an ally.” Aurelius muttered.“Who else can I discuss Dark Arts with and with such insight? We have very similar intellects and since you helped me regain my mind I find that I hold you in nearly the same esteem as Oran Nott.”Aurelius frowned, “Oran? Wasn’t he bonded to Abraxus’ elder sister? I heard that he was suspected of killing her…”Alaric stiffened, “Oran worshiped Adelia, she was a few years his senior and she was always sickly, not that her mother Muriel would admit it. Oran would have given Adelia anything she wanted, she wanted to be a mother so he did his best to give Adelia her wish and they were bonded after her graduation from Hogwarts. She moved into Mansfield and proceeded to make it her home. She fell ill with the flu and the stress caused her to lose her first child a daughter.”Aurelius saw surprising sympathy in Alaric who continued.“Two years later they tried again, but it was Oran’s final year and so she was home alone. There was a terrible accident and she fell, it was too late by the time a healer and Oran were sent for. Adelia had haemorrhaged so both she and their son died soon after the healer arrived. Their daughter, Adelia was pregnant with fraternal twins, died in Oran’s hands. He’s never recovered completely from the loss.”Aurelius held up a hand, “Very well I promise not to accuse Oran of killing his wives…or rather wives.”Alaric sighed, “Oran promised when we were students that he would make my the godfather of his firstborn. It is a shame that Dowager Lady Malfoy was so vindictive that she has essentially made it nigh impossible for him to bond again.”“What does Oran do?” Aurelius asked curiously.“He spent much time with mind healers trying to deal with the loss of his beloved and their three children that he ended up studying Mind Healing. Though he lacks the Prince gift with Mental Magic, Oran has an empathetic nature for a Slytherin.” Alaric said gruffly.Aurelius smirked, “We should ensure that he agrees to allow Ted Tonks to apprentice to him after Andromeda elopes with the Tonks boy.”Alaric shrugged, “I’m sure he would understand the vindictiveness of an infuriated Slytherin witch. Walpurga doesn’t enjoy being thwarted anymore then we do but she tolerates no variation from her plans for those of her House.”“Is Orion as weak-willed as she implies?” Aurelius frowned.Alaric snorted, “She is the final authority in the House of Black and most go along with her wishes. Now about Andromeda, Walpurga plans for her to be a political hostess and be Lucius’ right hand.”Aurelius snorted, “That will never happen, Andromeda will run away to bond to Ted likely to give Lucius a chance at being free to consent to a bonding with someone of his choice. Unfortunately, Walpurga will insist on a contract between the Houses of Malfoy and Black.”“Hence the proposed one-child contract that will allow Lucius to impregnate Narcissa without ever consummating the contract?” Alaric mused.Aurelius nodded, “Yes at the end of the contract the godson I adored in my past life will be born and Lucius will be free to be mine.”“I see…” Alaric said thoughtfully, “I wonder whose children will be older? Yours or mine?”Aurelius shrugged, “Likely yours, depending on how long it takes you to fix up a home for yourself and Cassiopeia to reside in. Lucius can’t procreate with Narcissa until the fall of 1979.”“So other then your plan to propose the legislation into working with Gringrotts to ensure that heirs are properly discovered and trained in their rights and duties, justice for the abused students and their abusers as well as ensuring that Flitwick stays headmaster what other plans do you have?” Alaric asked.Aurelius chuckled, “Rebuilding my previous library, when I was Potions Master of Hogwarts I had an interesting library. I will have to obtain many volumes again, this time I will be purchasing them in finer condition. It is 1971, I am sure that I can find first editions of my few favourite Muggle books.”Alaric gaped at him, “Muggle books?”Aurelius nodded, “Remind me to introduce you to the works of J.R.R. Tolkien and Frank Herbert, they created marvellous worlds that are rather daunting. In my opinion I would say that they were as worthy of acclaim as Shakespeare or even Homer. In time, they will no doubt be regarded as classics in their genre.”Alaric shook his head; he had little affection for anything Muggle and still sought to distance the Muggle world from the Wizarding World as much as possible.“We should add a class to be taught along side Elementary Magical theory…” Aurelius mused, “A Wizarding Culture class, the History of Magic Professor Binns must go. Surely between the two of us we can banish him from Hogwarts to the Veil…”Alaric’s eyes lit up with the idea of a magical challenge, “I always detested that ghost…”“I’m sure we both learned far more from the library then from him…” Aurelius shrugged.“True, researching such things will be quite illuminating I’m sure…” Alaric said as he set down his empty coffee cup.The two former Slytherins headed into the library to begin researching how to rid Hogwarts of Binns…
What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
A/N: For more Severus, Lily and Remus with peeks at James and Sirius read the companion story Turning tides
starr - I don't see Alaric and Aurelius [of Voldy and Snape Sr. if you prefer] letting Albus out of the Janus Thickey Ward. They are Slytherins after all and those are the last people you want as sane enemies out for revenge.
ChaosLady - I guess the last chapter was really awful if you thought I was that close to ending it. I'm not sure when I would...not yet anyway. Though all of those events you mentioned are definately planned...
