Chapter 58

Severus looked at her aghast. Aside from the absolute conviction in her voice that the children would not be sorted, he had never heard his wife resort to using profanities in such a way. Yes she�d repeated the few phrases Sal had taught her, but not like this. Sky, you cannot change a tradition that is almost a thousand years old. All children that attend Hogwarts must be sorted into their respective houses.�

�Like I was you mean. I mean it Severus, that hat does not go anywhere near our babies. Besides, the founders can sort them, they don�t need that stupid hat.� She told him adamantly.
Actually Severus liked the thought that his children might be sorted by the founders themselves, they might even have the run of the place as Sky does. Yes, that was definitely a better option he decided.

�I am agreeable to that suggestion, though it does not help with the names. Number one will be Alex Salazar. Number two, is Severus, after his myself of course.�

�Severus Remus.� Sky suggested.
�I will not have my name linked with Lupins. No, that is definitely not an option.�

��Why not, Remus was my first friend when I got here. Anyway, I like him and I like the name.�
�Severus sighed. �Fine, Severus Remus for number two. Now what about number three? I quite like the name Anthony.�

�No.� Sky said startled. �Anthony Steven Snape, his initials would be ASS.�
�That is true, there again the same can be said of little Alex here.�
�Oh this is no good Severus, we�ll have to think of something else.�
After two hours of arguing and laughing at the more outrageous names Severus came up with, they eventually decided on Severus Alex for number one, though he would be commonly called Alex, Paul Remus for number two, and Tony Mark for number three.
Remus was overjoyed that his name was to be given to one of the babies and spent the next two days with a beaming smile on his face and telling any and everyone that his name was chosen for one of the triplets.

He also took the time to thank Sky sincerely for her wolfs bane potion. Not once had he felt the wolf trying to emerge since the day he�d first taken her version of the potion. He felt like his life had substance now. Sky had given him the chance for a new beginning and he�d grasped it with both hands. The potion was registered with the ministry of Magic and was supplied freely to all lycanthropes who wished to stay human and find employment. Their names were taken from the dangerous creatures registry for as long as the potion was taken under supervision of a Ministry official.
Saturday afternoon, everything was packed and being transferred back to Hogwarts.

Severus was in a mood because he wanted Sky to use a door to allow them to enter their private rooms, whereas Sky wanted the buggy so she could wheel the children across the grounds.
�Sky it�s November, it is freezing cold out there.� Severus argued.
�So what, the buggy�s charmed to keep the babies warm. I want to do this Severus, I want to show them off.�
In the end Severus was browbeaten when Molly and Albus sided with Sky and he agreed to accompany her across the grounds.
Effy took hold of the buggy and appeared at the gates of Hogwarts at the same time as Severus apparated to the spot with Sky.
They were astounded to find Hagrid and Mr Filch squabbling at the gates about who should be the one to admit them.
Behind them and waiting eagerly, was what appeared to be the whole student body, headed by the staff of Hogwarts.
Eventually Hagrid won out and opened the gates, Filch taking the opportunity to scuttle over to the buggy and try to look inside. �Di yer mind miss, I�ve not seen a wee bairn in a long time.�
Sky couldn�t help but smile at the normally grumpy caretaker as he looked at her hopefully.
�Yes Mr Filch, that�s why I brought them like this, because I wanted to show them off.
Filch carefully lowered the apron on the buggy and peered inside, his normally scrunched face lighting up in pleasure at the sight of the three identical little infants sleeping peacefully.

�Well I never. Aren� they jus� perfect.� He said, his rheumy eyes watering up at the sight before him.
�This ones Alex, then Paul, and Tony.� She told him proudly.
�Oh my.� Hagrid said, looking down on them from a great height, but afraid to go too near after what happened with the re�em.
�You can look Hagrid. Sky has persuaded me that the re�em incident should be forgiven, though I will never forget.� Severus warned him.
Hagrid knelt to see the babies better, sobbing openly and blowing his nose into a tablecloth sized hanky. �They�re jus� beautiful they are. I never seen anything so perfect.�
Sky felt sorry for Hagrid and placed a hand on his shoulder for a minute before they set off across the grounds, Mr Filch in hot pursuit and determined not to let any of the snotty little buggers from the school dare to breath germs on the new arrivals.
Severus and Mr Filch soon lost out as the swarm of Professors and students surrounded them, cooing and gurgling over the babies and making Severus feel as if he wanted to be sick.
Sky on the other hand was elated as the babies were welcomed by most everyone, unlike her own original reception at Hogwarts.
Filius was granted the honour of levitating the buggy up the steps into the main entrance hall, from which a scowling Severus took control of the buggy , trying to steer it away from the hoards of well wishers towards the dungeons.
After what seemed like forever, he lowered his wards and then had to charm his door wider to accommodate the buggy. He wheeled it inside and breathed a sigh of relief, at finally being back in his rooms. He knew Sky might not appear for a little while yet and decided to have some alone time with his sons.

He was horrified to find the buggy empty when he peeled back the cover and stormed back to the main entrance to find his sons being passed around the various staff and students. Knowing he did not stand a chance of getting them back anytime soon, he allowed himself to be dragged back into the throng so he could at least try and keep an eye on them and Sky, maybe even manage to get hold of one of his sons if he was lucky.

Fortunately the infants became hungry and Alex had a rather unsavoury odour coming from his nappy and was soon passed back to Sky, followed by Tony, and Paul was nervously given to Severus by a Hufflepuff sixth year who now sported a large white stain on her robes where the baby had sicked on her.
Severus smirked when he noticed it, he�d quickly learned to drape a terry cloth over his shoulder whenever he held one or more of the babes.

He took a further weeks grace from classes to help settle in with the children. It did not take long to get into a routine, thanks to Effy. Her skills in childcare were second to none and the little elf was in her element. She would take the babies down to the kitchens once week to see Shannon and allow the other elves to fuss over them as they envied Effy her new charges. Any one of them would be eager to bond with the Snapes and help with the care of the children.
On the fourteenth of November, first Tuesday after their return to Hogwarts, classes were cancelled.
Severus, Sky and the babies, accompanied by Albus, Minerva, Remus, Poppy, Tonks, Argus Filch, Kingsley Shacklebolt and Molly Weasley stood in the grounds of Hogwarts, ready for the short, but necessary naming ceremony.

Remus, Argus and Kingsley were to be Godfathers, while Poppy, Tonks and Minerva were to be named Godmothers. Molly would be honorary grandmother and Albus honorary grandfather.
Severus first picked up Alex and held him aloft securely towards the setting sun.

�Here is my child, a son born of love. I name him Severus Alex Snape.� The clouds parted and a golden light beamed down from the heavens to surround first Severus and Alex, then spread to encompass Sky and the others.

Severus handed Alex to Sky and repeated the ritual with Paul and Tony. The same golden light came down and surrounded them all each time.

�My sons. Alex, Paul, Tony.� Severus said clear and proud.
Everyone was deeply moved by the ceremony and even Kingsley turned away for a moment to hide his emotions.

Argus had a dreamy eyed look about him as he held Paul close to him and gazed down at the infant. �Ye know, I neva �ad any o� me own, but you three are the next best thing as far as I�m concerned.� He spoke quietly, but the others heard and their hearts went out to the old caretaker. Even Albus had never seen the old man so taken with anyone before.
Sky enjoyed her free time when Effy took the babies to the kitchen, she used this time to go into the wall and catch up with the things the founders had taught her, as well as talk with them. She took the triplets in there a couple of times a week so they could drool over them the same as everyone else and they were always in their buggy in the Great Hall with Sky and Severus when it was time for lunch and supper.
Severus looked forward to seeing his sons at lunchtime, having spent the morning with what he referred to as a bunch of bungling buffoons. He could not wait for classes to be over for the day so he could retire to their rooms and see Sky and his sons before taking charge of the buggy and wheeling them to the Great Hall himself.
The students could not figure out how their Potions Master still managed to stalk through the halls, robe billowing and looking as mean as ever, while pushing a triple pram complete with babies.
Little did they know that Severus had secretly practiced for hours on an evening once curfew was in progress. He would appear in the halls with the empty buggy and stalk about, looking himself over to ensure his robes billowed as dramatically as ever.
Christmas was the best time as far as Sky was concerned. Alex, Paul and Tony were becoming more aware of things every day and their eyes sparkled when they were brought into the Great hall after it was decked out with icicles, tinsel, baubles, fairies and trees.

They debated over whether their eyes would be midnight blue like Sky�s, or become black like Severus�. They were already a much darker blue than any baby anyone had ever seen and already Paul had his fathers scowl down to a �T�. If he wasn�t getting enough attention, he would howl and scowl furiously at the first person to stick their face into the buggy. Then the scowl would fade and he would give them goo goo eyes instead. Alex developed the glare, and Tony the narrow eyed frown. All three had the most endearing gummy smiles.
A report came from Headquarters saying that Voldemort had learned of the triplets and was incensed about them. The report also mentioned that for some reason, Voldemort was missing his nads and had to sit when he peed. He seemed to be in a great deal of pain from his missing appendage and accompaniments, and ranted constantly about Sky being responsible for his misfortune.
�Severus honest, I don�t know anything about it.� She told him that night when he confronted her about it again.

This time he did perform legillimens on her, but found nothing that could explain the Dark Lord�s behaviour of late.
Everyone was at a loss and eventually put it down to the tyrants growing insanity, though it did still leave the question of what exactly happened for him to loose his genitals in the first place.
�Albus, the only other person I have ever seen with such an injury was Will McKinley, and even he was left with a stump. Besides, Sky has never been in the Dark Lords presence without me, I do not understand what could have happened. Were he any other mortal I would feel sympathy for him, as it stands I can only regale whoever is responsible for it.�
�I have to agree with you Severus, though I am curious as to who would have the power to accomplish such a feat.�
Sky couldn�t care less who�d emasculated Voldemort, she knew it wasn�t her and she�d proved it to Severus by letting him do legillimens on her. All she cared about right now was Severus and the babies.
�They�re doing just fine.� Poppy told Sky as she wrapped Tony back up in his blanket after doing her weekly check on them. In fact they didn�t really need to be checked weekly, but Poppy enjoyed interacting with them and used the weekly examinations as an excuse to do so.
Argus Filch stole every opportunity he could to come and see the babies. He was constantly badgering Sky, saying he needed to check the plumbing or that there might be an outbreak of doxies in the castle and it was necessary he check out the dungeons for them.
Sky eventually told him that if he wanted to visit and see the babies, he was welcome to and didn�t need an excuse.

As a result, Filch was to be found in the dungeons most days, fussing over the babies when Severus was in class.
Sky also made a special journey to take them to see Hagrid in his hut. She wanted to let the giant know that she held him in no way responsible for her own stupid actions that day with the re�em and that she bore him no grudge.

This made Hagrid more than happy and he was finally able to come to terms with what happened that day.

When Sky passed him one of the babies to hold he shook his head, terrified he might squash the poor little blighter.

�Hagrid you won�t hurt him, I�ve seen how gentle you can be. I�ve watched you tend a broken wing on the tiniest of birds and it never once cried out in pain or fear.�

Hagrid held Tony in the palm of one hand and still had space for Alex. Sky laid Paul in his other hand as he gazed at them awestruck. �Ye know, I never �eld a tiny baby before, an now I�m oldin� three.� He said, captivated by the three wriggling bundles.
By the middle of February Sky was chomping at the bit. Even the valentines day ball couldn�t pull her from the slump she seemed to be in.

The boys now slept through the night, as well as a fair bit during the day, they were chubby to the point of being mistaken for cherubs.

Severus warned her to keep them away from Albus, otherwise the old codger would have them flying the halls of Hogwarts with pink wings stuck to their backs.
While Severus was busy with classes, Sky was left to ponder on the prophecy once more. It was only five months to July and she knew it was likely that then would be the time she would have to kill her own father, regardless of how he had treated her in the past, she still had no idea of what he did to her the night she turned him into a pain filled eunuch.
The Order were becoming agitated as Voldemort fought against his pain, taking more and more potions each day to combat the agony as he planned his attack on Hogwarts.

He wanted Sky�s head on a plate, Severus dead, and his grandchildren brought to him unharmed so he could raise them to serve him, and only him.

He also wanted to know why he was unable to summon Severus, even after trying to activate the mark to the point where it would normally have sent his Death Eater insane, Snape still had not responded to his call. Wormtails mark was now an indistinct blur from the many times Voldemort used it to try and summon Snape.
Sky would sometimes bring his image up in her own mirror just for the pleasure of summoning his wand and watching the rage he got into as he wondered where the hell it had gone.
Early in March, Shannon came to visit Sky and Snape.
�Shannon, we haven�t seen you for quite a while. Have you come to see the babies?� Sky asked.
�I see them most days when the elf brings them to the kitchens. No, it is both of you I need to speak to.�
�Oh?� Severus raised an eyebrow curiously, yet could not help but feel this was not merely a social call by the old elf.
�Soon it will be time for the confrontation. Snape, you have worked out the blessings, I assume you know what you must do.�
�It is true I know the three blessings, but as to the actual role I must play, I am afraid I am at a disadvantage.�

�Would someone like to tell me what this is all about.� Sky demanded.
�So he did not tell you then?� Shannon cackled. �He is your third blessing girl, the one that binds your powers together. Without him you cannot hope to win against the dark, but together, you have a power to be reckoned with. His love for you will provide the link that will allow your powers to meld and surge. Only together can you finally defeat the darkness.�
Shannon disappeared as quickly and silently as she appeared, leaving Severus to answer the million and one questions from Sky as to why he�d not told her any of this sooner and what his plan was to defeat Voldemort.
